[SHAD] Miscommunication_dept Players 5,512 posts 24,469 battles Report post #2 Posted March 30, 2020 Preventative maintenance might help but the turrets are unfortunately very weak. Very sad seeing a JB floating around with two broken turrets and I've seen it far too often! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[CHEFT] DFens_666 Players 13,162 posts 11,029 battles Report post #3 Posted March 30, 2020 Dont show flat turret surface against enemy BBs in between shots. Angling gives a thicker surface or you might even bounce the shells. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When they shoot AT me, i change my guns direction? Yes. Angling works for any armoured surface in the game. If you can increase the effective thickness of armour by angling it relative to the direction of incoming fire, you reduce the risk of penetrations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did it and wasn't a good result for me (full pen ...) The Iowa can't overmatch your armor anywhere but on the superstructure. So I assume he either got lucky and didn't bounce on your bow (or stern) because you were slightly less armored than you thought or he just got superstructure pens. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't play ships that can have their guns punched out. Any upgrades, skills reduce CHANCE of that happening, which means it will happen anyway Yamato class, Republique and Kremlin have the thickest turret fronts, but even those probably will fail against point blank hits against their own guns.

[SHAFT] viceadmiral123 Players 1,221 posts 29,485 battles Report post #25 Posted March 30, 2020 This is an issue I have noticed with the French BBs - they lose turrets more easily compared to other nations. You can mitigate it by purchasing Main Armaments mod (kind of obligatory on most ships anyway) and keeping range from your targets. If you get close and stay bow-in, you will lose your turrets. I've tried to angle my turrets during reload to increase the effective armor but I can't say it has helped me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
