[DKK] Ew0kman Players 225 posts 6,969 battles Report post #1 Posted January 26, 2020 i simply dont get how the russian ships appear to be indistructible, just had a battle where i had 126 hits and 52 from main guns on smolensk, and he hit like 6 or 7times all hit at my stern he dident get any damage at all from 126 secondary and 52 hits from main guns, but i was destroyed, i do not get that, i have studied the weakpoints of the smolensk and it is as bad armourd as the Hood, so how was this possible i ask. remind that thise hits was recorded by the game so it was not bad aiming on my part i reported it ofcourse is it because the game are russian/polish? i was driving the Bismarck in her most badass setup. never showing broadside hence the hits in my stern, someone please explain this. 3 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're probably correct. A very serious case of l2p issue. I think OP progressed too fast down the german BB line 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Floofz ∞ Players 1,246 posts 7,392 battles Report post #9 Posted January 26, 2020 Ive bounced 3 full salvos against a Smolensk in my Montana. So it can be done. Smolensk is actualy not as badly armored as you think if you angle. She has a 30 mm plate over her belt armor + middle section of the deck ,which requires 430 mm or higher guns to overmatch. So if you angle you can bounce BB shells quiet reliably. Unless they hit the bow or stern. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-MM] _Dunc_ Weekend Tester 350 posts 11,822 battles Report post #15 Posted January 26, 2020 Arguing over replays and stats aside, lots of Russian ships are magic - we all know that. There's two elements at play - firstly, the biggest market is RU server, so there's an understandable tendency to make them a bit better than the other nations. Same applies in Tanks. Nobody plays Warplanes, but if we did, I expect the Yaks and Migs to be magic there too. The second element is more nuanced - Russia didn't have any navy, not least because it didn't particularly need one, but mainly because it simply didn't have the industrial capability to build one for the period we're dealing. That didn't stop them designing things though, which are the ships we get in game. Problem here is that a lot of those blueprints were total fantasy because a) no experience building them, b) no operational experience determining design, c) need for designer to stay out of Gulag by showcasing glorious glory of Soviet gloriousnessness. Thus, we get things like the Kremlin which sit low in the water, have massive laser accurate guns, ALL the armour, some MOAR ARMOUR!!1!, turn on a dime, accelerate like they're rocket propelled, and are immune to anything that might hit them. As for the Smol - it's magic, because Russia. However, it's also not really a Cruiser - it's really a big DD. Chuck HE at it if you want to hurt it. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you start your post talking about biasness without proper evidence then what else do you expect. Everyone agreeing with you that there is biasness and WG actually added a forcefield to the smolensk to bounce off shots from your guns? I don't really think alot of people will blame you for lack of game knowledge but if you're gonna be a [edited] when going about it then yes its a reciprocal effect. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well then look at Smolensk armour. Has 30mm deck. Which means it can bounce even 406mm. This ship will be easy to destroy of they change it's armor to Minotaur level. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fonfalks Players 539 posts 11,322 battles Report post #20 Posted January 26, 2020 I have seen this again and again and again and again. There is something deeply wrong when game calculates damage against Russian ships and US ship(but mostly Russian), those two are by far most likely to have luck far beyond usual RNG idiocy. Times i have seen BB AP salvos fly in to that fffffffff Smolensk and it receiving unrealistically low damage are just countless. Sure some ships can get lucky SOMETIMES, like yesterday some fricking Mino survived 24 shells from my GK in range of about 5 - 8 kms, but with Russian ships this happens regularly. Kremlin sometimes feels like you are just shooting at island, he will not burn, he has no citadels, he takes no module damage, he just sails on and kills. But we all know that this game has become just disgusting and WGs spitting in players face, when WHOLE FING COMMUNITY tells them that Smolensk and Kremlin are too OP, has just intensified and intensified. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
