under water damage

[rdgaming]

OK now i am so fed up of being killed of the torpedoes only because the water damage absolute obliterates you OK now i was at around 20 k health and i got hit by a torpedo that made it 20 k so i thought i was going to survive  this but no the water dames kills 20 k of your health.

You mean the flooding? That's what happens when a stinking great warhead blows a hole in the side of your ship...

[rdgaming]

yer but it does so much damage

yepp, ask the titanic about how much

 

just repair it

[IamTroublemaker]

Make a new hole so the water could run out

 

[Blue_Bug]

If you are hit by a torpedo, try the repair key. It stops the flooding. I have never seen a torpedo masive damage on low tier. So one torpedo causing 20 K damage must have caused a lot of flooding. Flooding cost time. Something tells me you forgot to repair in the mean time.

Because this is not gonna cause any flooding...

if you look closely the hull is actually buckled inwards and is not really a large hole.

[Bish0ps]

Well why would it ? It's not a hole, barely the air conditioning... Well, the water conditioning at least.

 

Where did you get that pic ? Is that one of Pearl Harbour's BB's in dry dock ?

Someone said that stopping reduces flooding damage. Not sure if it is true and often not a good idea when at the frontline, but when a TB gets you far away from battle it might be worthwhile to test out.

It's HMS Kelly, a K class destroyer after an altercation with an E-boat.

Here is a picture of HMS kelly shortly after recieving the very large non hole

I always stop of flooding. It does seem to slow it.

Hold onto your repair. Usually quenching 1 fire with it doesn't worth it. Also don't use it on dive bombers - especially if you see torpedo bombers behind them, the CV wants to bait out your repair.

 

Obviously there are still cases when you absolutely have to use it (dive bombers kill your engine, and you would eat 21312312 torpedoes), but those are honestly rare cases. Just think a bit forward and hang onto it.

[edited]otehrs have sid you need to be very careful when you use your repair.  Get it wrong and that is the cost...

This is from Pearl Harbor... that thick cracked slab is main armor belt.

Flooding damage reduces ship's fighting capability by 0.66-0.12% of total HP per second, depending on ship's tier. Higher-tier ships receive less damage as % of their health than do low-tier ships. Flooding probability depends on the place of the torpedo hit.

[bismark121]

well the full damage to the bow of a ship is rather over the top as a ship doesn't need one to sail onward

I've noticed this too, but im not convinced something this technical will be in this game.

So not speed. Although just because it doesn't say it doesn't mean it's not trie

flooding does bleed your speed. So yes it will reduce your speed

[Sybeck]

+1 For you sir!

 

Plus don't forget to redirect the flood with a bucket to put out the fires on deck - every cloud has a silver lining

[Ascender]

A flood in my experience does about 1.5-1.75x the damage of a single fire, the main thing that makes it deadly is that as base it lasts for 2 minutes, so basically you HAVE to fix it, unlike fires which will burn out in 50-60 seconds on their own.

 

And yes it will slow you down and slow your agility.

A ship can be set on fire on each section, for a maximum of 4 simultaneous fires. A single fire causes the ship to lose 0.3% of fighting capability per second for battleships, cruisers and destroyers, and 0.4% of fighting capability per second for carriers.

At higher tiers flooding damage is less important than a fire. Flooding lasts 100 seconds or so if i remember it correctly while fire is 60 seconds. A high tier ship will lose %18 of his HP to one fire while flooding only takes %12. So as a result flooding isnt so important at high tiers. It does a very little damage that can also be repaired %100 like fire damage
