[W-C] Rusty_9 Players 470 posts 2,000 battles Report post #1 Posted December 14, 2018 OK, so, my first 2 games in the Nelson were not atypical at all, and I'm trying not to let them make me dislike the ship, but... Is this kind of thing normal? I don't normally spam HE in BB's (haven't played the RN BB line yet) but I kind of would have expected some damage!? After this screenclip, I got another 3 HE pens for zero damage (on an Omaha with about 1 k health left!!!) and 3 incapacitated modules. So, 8 hits, 2 fires, 3 destroyed modules and 2 planes for 0 damage. Is that just bad luck or fairly normal? Yeah, I know, nearly 1mil PD in the meantime - the friggin doorbell rung leaving me in a awkward position!!! On the flip side, the ap is pretty solid on broadside cruisers... and they don't expect it either! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I know... just it was an opportune shot with HE loaded and it was low health so... I was just more surprised that in 8 HE pens (I don't recall any shatters anyway) on 3 different ships (4 hits (couldn't be sure they were all pens) with double fire on a fuso, 1 pen no damage on a bayern and 3 hits 3 modules no damage on omaha) I didn't get any damage. Ah well, I'll see what happens next game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[ADRIA] wilkatis_LV Players 4,583 posts 6,874 battles Report post #4 Posted December 14, 2018 Saturation, modules, too thick armour... BB HE works just like any other HE And 0 dmg fires just sound like instant dmg-con 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[CROPS] CPL_Sivi Players 159 posts 12,144 battles Report post #5 Posted December 14, 2018 Omaha and thick armor dont go into same sentence :). Its just extremely bad luck. I easy get 15 k dmg in a single he salvo on omaha. He will even pen citadel if u get a good angle. It was just extremely bad luck. Probably saturation, area that u hit was already destroyed so u couldnt do any dmg. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[W-C] Rusty_9 Players 470 posts 2,000 battles Report post #6 Posted December 17, 2018 Thanks for the replies guys. Seems like it was just a rather odd and rare situation :). Next game went reasonably OK, although I managed to get a double-strike (which I'm guessing is least common in BB's!?)... looks like Nelson is going to be my 'oddity' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
