WG, this bs has to end

[Flavio1997]

today i was happily sailing in my shochors when i got detonated by an he from a QE ( thx wg for that 1/4 pen rule bs on bbs) when i was full hp ( i know that you have to get below 75%, and the citadel bring me there), and perfectly nose into the enemy., and my death  resulted in the defeat of my team ( my team at some point reached 960 points, so even if i was afk we would have won). And is the 3rd detonation i get in a week from  rn bbs he with shochors ( you are asking yourself why i don't use deto flag on her, that's because i consider them more valuable for my dds).

And  to my point now....WG; THIS BS HAS TO END, it's not funny, it's not engaging, especially from HE shell that you can't do anything about ( i know that ap overpen and you can do frontal cits, but still). WG please, remove the detonation altoghether or at least remove it from he shells.

 

p.s. some love to the shochors would not be bad in general

Time to start using the flags on your cruiser I would say ... problem solved.

[OlFson]

Time to remove the 24h restriction on said flags.

Fun and engaging gameplay. Which is still for some reason supported by large part of the community. I have no idea why, never seen any reasonable argument for having it in the game. Especially since you can with a flag remove it from the game again, of course until you run out of flags. So why have it in the game in the first place?

IMO deto flags will always be more us full on cruisers where there are bigger and more ammo racks etc to detonate. Why waste them on destroyers. Doesn't make sence. ..

DDs tend to detonate easier?

I basicly never use deto flags, and i have like 2,4k Cruiser games or so. My amount of Detonations is pretty low so... no need usually.

Well since we wont get rid of the mechanic try to settle for the next best goal.

 

I hope the chesse is old, since it is a stroong and old wine you are serving it along with. @Mandalorianer

Don't get me wrong, I would celebrate the day they remove the 'fun and engaging gameplay' feature from the game.

But since you have the flags, and you can get the flags quite easily (as OP is showing  ) it's not a huge deal.

 

Just play some lower tier DD games to get 500+ flags, and apply a flag to all higher tier DD games and to some cruisers that are prone to detonations.

Still feels like a "you first need to hurt your knees before you can wear kneecaps"- kinda thing.

What is the purpose of this feature? It doesnt serve anything. Just a lottery ingame to decide some poor soul who gets his piece of the funcake.

You mean your avatar? Could be an interesting restaurant.  But no, not really

The purpose is either:

1) Historical accuracy.  There are some famous ship detonations (cough * Hood * cough)

2) Monetary gains .... you can buy those anti-frustration flags you know ;)

Do you want an honest answer to that?

I already vouched for this on NA forums a few years ago. 

It doesn't make sense to restrict this reward to a 24 hours basis for something that is complete RNG. I have never met anyone who said; "Let's get my daily detonation flags".
By making it a 24 hour reward WG makes it look like you should be proud that you got detonated.

I agree that this is the most shitty way to go. With QE dispersion any potato with 381mm HE can occasionally blap any unicum in Shchors, even not intentionally - evidently that is what WG intended. You were sacrificed on the potato altar by WG marketing department.

Entirely as it should be. As the showboating Mahan I detonated in Warspite, earlier, found out. Too cool for smoke screens? Detonation's what you need.

I don't  know if i have to laugh  or being sad about it. To say that i was pissed off was an understatement, it has been something on the next scale of idiotic

I had a clan mate during last clan wars who was going out to try and get detonated, even put on fire and flood flags to increase the chance, funny thing was he didn't get any

lol

 

Well in that case I'd recommend Russian Gunship DDs. 
Dunno why, but if I had a record of detonations per ship the Russian DDs would be at number 1.

[Verblonde]

I really don't mind detonation being in the game, even when it happens to me (quite a lot - I play mainly DDs after all) - it's one of the shreds of historical accuracy in the game after all.

 

@OlFson's suggestion above is a good one though: if you got ten anti-det flags every time you were exploded, rather than just once per day, it would take the edge off for those who have somehow offended RNGeezus...
