From memory, you have to have already taken some damage (although I entirely forget how much) before you can detonate. 49 minutes ago, Bratoev said: Keep Detonations, make the animation for it better. This. If I'm going to get horribly exploded (due to lack of anti-det flags), the least WG can do is give me a mushroom cloud to mark my passing!

You need to have less than 75% HP if i remember right. I also agree with better animations, we should have even more variant. Ships break to half, superstructures break off, turrets fly away, bow/stern missing, etc. Would like to see scorch marks on islands too. And a small personal idea : oil spills and debris after ships sunk, which could be lit on fire, providing a temporary smoke cover for some time. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is a nonsense "rule" as you still can get detonated from 100-0 in one salvo when the first shell that hits you 0.00000001s earlier removes 25%+ of your hp. I have never nor will i ever understand why players want a totally random fatal event in a PvP game... Especially where such an even is game-ending for the victim as there is no respawn mechanic in wows. Unlike in games such as Battlefield where your soldier gets a sudden heart attack and you can just respawn. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WG wants to increase RNG and random frustrations so it can monetize better. It's less obvious in WoT, but in WoWS, oh my Buddha. Just say no. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's because the game is built by russian trolls more familiar with casino's then fun gameplay systems. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the Hood it was a totally lucky shot and a few mitigation measures malfunctioned to make it happen. Also if you look into ANY promotional videos where WG display detonations, they get it completely wrong and a flooded SHELL MAGAZINE explodes the ship while the actual danger is in the powder magazines ... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking only for myself, it's purely for the nod to history (not just Hood); I imagine if it were less rare, I might have a less sanguine opinion. As others have pointed out on previous occasions, I suspect the reason *WG* want it in the game is that it provides a chance for any potato to get a spectacular 'feel good' (for the potato) result against any player, no matter how good they are. I still remember the first time I got one (years ago, in the old days where one shell on a 100% target would do it): I clipped an Atlanta and the poor bugger exploded. This was followed with the two of us in chat exchanging 'what the hell just happened?!' type messages (I think we must have both been new players)! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like me, today... My Mutsu ended up as high tier BB on Strait (Standard Battle, starting on the left side, up) and when sailing towards the map's center a wild Nürnberg appeared at 18 or so klicks... guns were loaded and pointed in the right direction... Boom... and shortly after BOOM! One disintegrated Nürnberg... (seems 3 AP hits from 8 guns can be enough for that...). So I felt the need to say "Oooopsie... sorry..." in chat. Didn't got an answer though... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take citadels f.e. ... they are a similar catastrophic situation but if you know your ship and what the enemy has available, you can mitigate them. Unfortunately the magazines are nowhere to be seen in the client or otherwise, so you have no clue what and how to hide ... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
