A Destroyer who can't be shot at, is a Destraoyer who can't be hit. A Destroyer who can't be hit, is a Destroyer who cannot detonate! Simple?

DD's without anti Det flags are very prone to detonations, hardly a mystery, it's been true for a very long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[CMP] Hummus Weekend Tester 605 posts 5,339 battles Report post #12 Posted January 30, 2019 You drive the lower tier DD's without flags so you will have PLENTY of flags for the higher tier DD games. All my DD's from T8 onwards permanently have a "no detonation please" flag. I have 700+ of those silly flags .... They are VERY easy to get Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is objectively false - you can be detonated by a shell that does NOT hit you, making your whole reasoning invalid 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess you're one of those DD players who never shoot, even when they could decap, start fires, or finish a low HP enemy DD. They only camp at the edge of the spotting range and launch endless salvoes of torps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am glad another sheep woken up and seperated from the "this is fine and totally not a fundamentaly broken mechnic" crowd. Your thread isn't by far the first on this matter and above mentioned crowd is still far too big, so I fear this thread will get closed/forgotten soon and we still have to wait a few years for WG to maybe remove detonations.

Oh, it's a broken mechanic. I completely agree on that. On the other hand, it is also very easy to avoid the problem by equipping a flag that you can easily get a LOT of. By the time you have a T10 destroyer you should be sitting on a horde of the things. And in the lower tiers I don't mind the detonations so much, and it's always nice when you blow up an enemy.

[HALON] Amon_ITA Players 708 posts 12,295 battles Report post #24 Posted January 30, 2019 Well, detonations are indeed a broken mechanic. And having to mount a flag to avoid them is even more broken, if possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Realistically a DD would not go anywhere near a BB as they'd get blapped. Or, at least they would run that risk if a shell hit them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
