Just a few battles ago I had a few broadside hits on the likes of Ibuki, Amagi and NO - 0 citadels but I did some decent damage 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luckyio ∞ Players 310 posts 8,360 battles Report post #12 Posted November 13, 2015 Took 2 citadel hits in a first BB volley (also the only one that hit me that game). Wouldn't be shocking if I wasn't driving the "I have no citadels worth talking about" Cleveland. I recall hitting its citadels a total of maybe 2 times during my entire WoWS career, and never having its citadels hit when I was driving it. And now, sudden double citadel. It was a surreal moment. Either they finally fixed Cleveland to have less "historic" and more balanced citadels, or that BB won a lottery, or they messed something about AP citadels from BBs on cruisers very badly. It could be confirmation bias after all the recent AP changes too. Doesn't change the whole surreal feel it gives me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SPUDS] Unintentional_submarine [SPUDS] Beta Tester 4,052 posts 8,765 battles Report post #13 Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) I have citted Clevelands before and have done so today again. It is still considerably harder to citadel than practically any other cruiser. I even laid into one with my Myoko, and not a single citadel, as expected. The simple matter is that the Cleveland while incredibly hard to citadel, has never been anywhere close to impossible. Heck I have OHKed a few, which requires more than a few citadels and hits. So don't be bothered by being citadeled in it. It'll probably happen again. Edited November 13, 2015 by Unintentional_submarine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

red_eye1980 Players 387 posts 3,102 battles Report post #15 Posted November 14, 2015 Broadside or not, it didn't seem to matter yesterday. 3 out of 4 battles I was single salvo killed by a battleship in : Karlsruhe, Furutaka (other account) and Cleveland. Before the mini patch and before 0.5.1 it would happen 1 out of 15-20 games. Yesterday it was 3 out of 4, On the fourth game I hid behind a BB the whole time, not very honourable but I survived. If it stays like this, maybe it's time to get my IJN dds back out. Lately they ve been suffering because to many CAs about. But if it stays like this, not many will be playing CA anymore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zuxx Beta Tester 132 posts 7,726 battles Report post #23 Posted November 14, 2015 In a CA you are supposed to escort BBs dealing with DD, Planes and other CAs while the BB deal with the enemy BB, CA are not supposed to go against BBs, when i find myself forced to deal with a BB i just put my CA 90° and try to run away shooting HE to set the BB on fire, never ever show your broadside to a BB, you can try a broadside salvo only if the BB have already fired. Battleships fires this things: With some INTENSE PREVIOUS testing WG can work on accuracy for BBs to improve gameplay, but you cant complain if a BB get a good salvo against a perfect broadsided CA. Just my opinion, feel free do disagree Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Porpoisee Players 812 posts 2,660 battles Report post #24 Posted November 14, 2015 Citadels happen, but much less than before in BB. The distribution of shells got worse in the last patch and I see no chance in onehitting cruisers on mid-far ranges in my NC. Number of citadel hits in BB vs BB fights also decreased. Cruisers do not suffer from this changes, as they are more accurate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mariouus Players 1,158 posts 14,792 battles Report post #25 Posted November 14, 2015 woppy101 you did fire quite a lot of shots as well. Before the Patch (0.5.1), if enemy cruiser (or a BB) broadsided you often, there was very-very high chance to citadel it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
