Remove detonations!!!

[Fonfalks]

Remove detonations, how long will this utterly idiotic, unnecessary, purely RNG based stupid function be in game? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. It ruins games. 

But then again who am i kidding in thinking that WG cares about anything else but selling gold and ships to people who want to buy them for real money. 

[lafeel]

Maybe try asking nicely next time and they might be more inclined to listen?

[lovelacebeer]

Detonations will remain purely because there is a flag in the arsenal (aka armoury) that you can buy using coal or credits it’s a useful resource sink for WG.

[Verblonde]

I feel that the anti-Detonation crowd need a new approach, as the existing one is clearly not working. Perhaps considering requesting the mechanic's removal by means of some bold new performance art, or possibly interpretive dance might be more effective..?

Why don't you just use Juliet Charlie Signals? You can get them in the armory for 1.920.000 credits (20 flags). That's just 92.0000 credits per battle. Honestly, there is a way to get around detonations, there is no reason to complain.

In his defense he did say he needed sleep. Even more so than he first thought it'd seem. ;)

...why shouldn't magazines explode on ships when introduced to a violent exothermic event?

 

Remove some of the RNG, make it more likely if a well aim shot citadels the magazine.

It would indeed be nice if it is more based on where you get hit.

 

Not randomly explode because a stray shell hit the top of your funnel

It's not competly RNG a shell has to explode inside your magazine (or very near it) so the chance is very low if they hit that and then still a RNG if it's detonate. Try if you get torped not to be hit right beneath your turret. Shooting depends on armour so moving broadside isn't a good idea if your getting shot at (straight to OR away from your opponent)  This is offcourse very hard for DD to do. If you don't want to dentonate buy the flags OR use the slot 1 module that seems to work.....

There has been an extensive test done by LWM couple of years ago.

Shooting magazine does not (always) resolve to detonation .. its completely RNG (apparently). Ships detonate when shell / torps hit nowhere near magazine.

I've detonated when I was hit on bow .... no ship has a magazine at the bow tip ... none.

I said that it's still a chance even it hits a magazine. But Bow behind that is a magazin and if you shoot the bow that is in or near it! But from in front in a DD that armor is very weak and you can shoot through that.

Yea, nah, nah.

 

I was detonated when hit like this.

Hell, I was even detonated, when no shell actually hit me (splashes).

Ah, the magic of HE who has a area splash so hit in the tip your splash circle can get near the magazine and then a roll and if your unlucky boom but that happened to a small ship because a BB you can't detonate like that.

 

Detonate while your not hit is a bug ! Yes it can still activate with the normal rules but if not penetrated it should ignore that.

Then you have issue of desync always being a thing, so "torpedo on the tip of the bow" could be closer to front ammo magazines than game shows.

They'll probably remove it and add 'Sudden sinking', avoidable with a dedicated flag.

This is for the "why not use a consumable to get rid of rng mechanics" crowd:

 

"With the next patch, WG is introducing: 

-perfect sigma flags: negating all bad sigma values.

-0 dispersion flags: negates any dispersion. 

Perfect bomb drop flag: makes bombs drop with pinpoint accuracy.

 

WG is aiming to produce flags flags to negate every RNG situation. This way, players can use currency to buy these flags to negate unwanted RNG in the game. WG also provides these flags for dubloons in the armory and for cash in the premium shop."

Because if you can 100% negate 1 mechanic by stacking up flags for it, why not implement more flags that can completely negate many other mechanics? That flag and the mechanic it negates are so clearly designed as a money grab that I can't understand people actually defending its purpose. 

 

Even better! Let's have tsunami's in the game that can instantly sink your ship, but then also implement a flag that magically negates the effect. 

 

And let's implement that hitting a mountain makes the engines rupture and explode, instantly sink your ship, but....also implement a flag that 100% negates the effect!

 

Or make you be able to beach on an island, disabling you from moving the rest of the match, but............also implement a flag that magically stops you from beaching 😎

 

Ok, what more random stuff can we invent that without any any player skill can instantly kick you out of the game, but what we can prevent completely by just using a consumable? Come on, guys and girls, we need more ideas for WG so they can implement more mechanics that have no effect on the game if you use a consumable, but that WG can profit from and can be defended by saying it also was a thing in WW1/2 while forgetting this game is getting more fantasy by the minute :)
