I managed to one shot 3 other BB from my South Carolina in the space of two games. I also saw this with other people. Am I just lucky or is this part of the new mechanics?

[KOOKS] krautjaeger Modder, Beta Tester 1,514 posts 3,350 battles Report post #6 Posted May 14, 2015 Haven't seen a single one-shot of any ship so far today. Really nice, a lot of the shots over-/undershoots and misses. I love it! No more quick games, people have to rely on getting the shot aiming, leading and ranging right to even be able to hit. Marvellous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[FIFO] conductiv Beta Tester 435 posts 1,644 battles Report post #16 Posted May 14, 2015 I haven't experienced any 1 shots (as in 1 shot that kills the enemy...not the BB that catches 5 torps in 1 go, or a cruiser getting triple citadel hit by a BB volly) but I did read the magazine explosion medal being awarded once (as in someone on the other end of the map probably went..kaboom..)

[SPUDS] Unintentional_submarine [SPUDS] Beta Tester 4,052 posts 8,765 battles Report post #19 Posted May 15, 2015 Magazine hits were probably a little rare before, but they are surprisingly common now. I'm not sure if I like it yet, or dislike it. And honestly, it seems like the USN BBs are more prone to blowing up. At least the ones I have seen. Admittedly a lot more of them have been around than IJN BBs, but I haven't seen a single one of them blow up. A slight misalignment of the magazine on certain USN BBs? Perhaps, but I have also seen cruiser get pasted, but that was reasonably common before, so I can't put it one way or the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AcceptYourDeath Beta Tester 23 posts 1,862 battles Report post #21 Posted May 15, 2015 The damage numbers are all over the place, and I`ve seen many ships nearly insta gib`ed including myself. Don`t know what they`ve planed for damage and armor but it is elusive atm how anything works. I still question the way some battleships take no damage whatsoever from cruisers.

[UNICS] Nechrom Beta Tester 4,870 posts 10,112 battles Report post #22 Posted May 15, 2015 Haven't seen a one-shot yet. On the flip side I've had a drawn out close range shoot-out between me in my Nagato and a New York. Our main guns did almost no damage at all to each other and my secondary gun battery ended up doing most of the damage which finally resulted in him sinking.

Ahobaka Beta Tester 18 posts 6,678 battles Report post #23 Posted May 15, 2015 Had two torpedo one-shots today from enemy CVs against Tier III IJN BB. Not a one-hit, but I pulled off the most flawless dead-on citadel hit with just one shell on a Kuma (50% hp, ish) from a Myogi. Was a joy to behold. Can't really comment much on the two one-hits that I had as I was caught somewhat unaware by the torps, so my angle was probably perfect for the planes. Will have to do some more testing tomorrow when I have time to see how it all plays out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[STGGC] valkarianism Beta Tester 173 posts 1,181 battles Report post #24 Posted May 15, 2015 Proper aiming with AP rounds can easily result in multiple citadel hits, which may one shot an enemy. Protect your citadel by sailing towards or away from an enemy, and always manoeuvre to avoid fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
