Can we please remove overpens now?

[ARE_YOU_HUMAN]

5 overpens on a perfect broadside. Literally everything shits on bbs now. From cvs to subs to he slinging cruisers. And when your turn comes as a bb, what's that? 5 to 6 overpens? Have fun waiting for 30 or 40 seconds meanwhile everything within your radius shits on you.

Can we please get BB players with braincells now?

I don't think removing overpens would be a good idea. Overpenetrations are the main balancing factor to the huge alpha damage potential of battleship guns. If overpens were removed, battleships would be more or less able to reliably delete one broadside cruiser or destroyer with every salvo they landed. They are technically able to do this already, except for the "reliably" part - their bad accuracy being the other balancing factor.

 

For what it's worth, Captain @Eagle_Six_TR, I believe I have felt the same kind of pain as you have. Indeed I believe that most of this community have shared your frustration at one time or another. It's nothing personal, just random bad luck.

 

If you land a perfect broadside and get only overpens, don't be sad. Instead, realize the truth: There is no perfect broadside.

Sure. If we remove 45x mm guns, too.

Here's a better option

 

Remove main guns from BBs entirely and replace them with secondaries and torps

5 overpens, 2 torp prit hit, 1 ricochet and 1 penetration shot with exactly the same dmg as overpens. "fun and engaging"

[Ruthus]

Well i got mugged my a Mino that completely deleted my full strength broadside Napoli whilst my full broadside had 6 overpens.

 

My how we all laughed.....Mino player said he had never been hit and survived before ever...)

 

Its a poor poor mechanic. By all means do less damage but basically no damage or critical damage when a mahoossive shell goes straight through your ship is  a little daft.

[Chaoskraehe]

Play GB BB's, they have a shorter Fuse and so less overpens.

Can we have DD players with a brain ?

Fixed it for you. ^^

[SV_Kompresor]

Remove overmatch you say? Well I'm up for it.

[doerhoff_damian]

Please No. When I shoot at DDs with my BB I usually get Overpens and that is often enough to help my own DDs.

If Overpens are removed I will be stuck with Bounces and Ricochets and have to rely fully in my Secondaries or switch to He

DD mains that think they are the elite of this game are laughable. Idiots are in every class, and I see as much braindead DDs as braindead BBs or cuisers.

[Itwastuesday]

That would just dumb down the game. Having to know that say some ships are so slim that you just punch through kinda sucks, but then again... Then you know and it's fine. 

 

Cruisers are the worst class in the game anyway, so just take a chill pill in your giant super artillery platform and shoot again.

Just now in my colombo i hit an Edinburgh from 12 km perfect broadside 10 shells 10 overpens and like 12,000 dmg. BS

I love how when other classes complains about something people listens and stuff but when bb captains say something: AnOtHer cRyBbABY

because its an issue ingame from day one.

since day one there have been,, people,, with minimised minimaps, sitting at the back, with no situational awareness due to thinking they are sup0r l33t sniporz, complaining about dd torps they refused to pay attention to, complaining their 3000m/s laser guided shells arent good enough. even with the games built in lockon mechanics that are specifically stated as making the guns more accurate. AAAND that is before getting to overmatch mechanics that renders a lot of armour angling invalid on the basis of herp derp BiGgUn.

Usually because BB captains complain about stuff that's fine. Like for example if there was no overpenetrations, there would not be guns whose railgun ballistics and high penetration mean that they punch through both sides of a cruiser, nor would there need to be guns with short-fuse AP, and so on. There would be less distinction between both guns and armor layouts, which would probably just make whichever battleship had highest caliber and most pen best for everything and ships with tinfoil plating unplayable. 

 

But it is true. When triangle mafia complains about everything that could possibly counter a triangle its yes yes, game bad wg bad remove everything but Kleber on Kleber action from the game plz, while suggesting that airstrikes/sovietcarrier/submarine/pan-a smolenskline etc etc might just not make battleships tank and push like how everybody seems to want them do is always met with derision. 

[NewHorizons_1]

Over penetrations were actually a thing IRL.

If it can happen to a cruiser, I'm pretty sure it would happen to a battleship.

 

Ref https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_off_Samar

Quote

The ship profiles and aggressiveness caused the Japanese to think the destroyers were cruisers, and the destroyer escorts were full-sized destroyers. Their lack of armor allowed armor-piercing rounds to pass right through without exploding, until the Japanese gunners switched to high-explosive (HE) shells, which caused much more damage

I mean... If the secondary guns become manually controlled main guns that one hell of a buff actually, you basically trade some 10k alpha strike damage for a ton of fast reloading CL guns and torpedos retaining BB health and armor? Where do I sign in for this again?

Why don't use SAP against such soft targets?
