[ERL] JeTBarionIV Players 253 posts 33,068 battles Report post #1 Posted March 18, 2021 Hi all! Dunno if this is some sort of bug (80% chance), simply bad design by WG (19%) or a mere "call of destiny" (1% chance). But you can see on the left how many battles I had in this game and I can tell you that almost 5000 are on BBs in Random alone (not Co-Op, Ranked, Scenario, etc). In all my "experience" I've detonated on a BB less than 10 times. I believe I have witnessed it happening to other BBs less than 300 times (that is, counting all my 25.000 battles in this case). So, of course I don't bother to put EVER the signal Juliet-Charlie on BBs, but in special circumstances like CB or Ranked and maybe not even then... So... can anyone explain to me how in heavens I've managed to detonate already TWICE out of 11 battles played on the Caracciolo?!?!? Even better, please let me know if it happened to you too. Thanks EDIT: just to be clear, I must specify that in both cases it was one single torp on the bow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even better, please let me know if it happened to you too. Just as easy as you can pull the same number out of 10000 twice back to back. RNG is RNG, I remember one match in which 3 BBs detonated of one team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I might figure it out one day, but not by direct experience as the ship is as bad as I suspected all along even before its release. Sold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sold No, i "talked" sarcasm - as in being sarcastic that detonation mechanic WG introduced must be believed by them to be a fun part of the game. Maybe I should have piled in the exclamation marks. As others have noted, 2 individual instances don't imply a bug. The desire to have an explanation (bug) for such chances is just human nature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
