Recently I shot a full salvo from Konigsberg on an enemy cruiser from like 6 km and got 5 citadel hits. I was like....WOW....usually I get just one citadel (or none), sometimes 2, very rarely 3. So 5 is my record. Someone had even more?

Yesterday i think i had 6 Citadels in one salvo from my Cleveland on a Konigsberg, well i had 6 in the end of the battle and as far as i know i didnt got any on other ships that fight. He died instantly the poor guy. Sadly i know that feeling when playing my Nurnberg mostly at the moment.

I remember one time in ranked I got 6 citadels in one salvo on anothet amagi, resulting in a devastating strike.

 

Also, it doesn't count but, I once got a Devastating strike on an omaha with my nicholas at 2 kms... While using only my guns. Had something like 7 citadels in 3 salvos.

My record was 7 citadels with Atago.

But my record damage was with yamato: 72+k damage on a montana who showed full broadside and moved very slowly.

I had 6 or 7 in my Nicholas versus a Koningsberg.

The poor bastard and me were out of torps and I was hiding in smoke. Lucky for me he did not use his sonar scan thingie.

7 in one salvo I was in a cleveland and it was against a Kuma, Also max citadel in one salvo with BN was with my Nagato on a Kongo and that was 5 citadels one salvo = one kill.

Rng is a little too OP at times. I kept getting citadeled in my pensa and atago even when not showing my broadside. Amazing seeing a BB fire at you sometimes too when all his shells fly your way, all of them except one are way off target and miss, but that one shell of his comes straight at you and gets your citadel. You have to simply shrug it off and swear at WG.

putting five citadels from my Roon into an Ibuki for well over 30k dmg total (and yes I'm a cruiser, at least I think so... the damage per salvo often feels more like a BB...)  was certainly fun... for me at least...

LOL. Meaning all shels did citadel...I like this one.

 

In fact I had the stock hull (and then 5 guns), so 4 citadelles on 5 shots.

6 in my Konigsberg, with a Omaha crossing my T from behind... Hitrate of 100%. That Omaha-driver wasn't too happy about it, but on the plus side, I enlarged my vocabulary quite a bit in terms of new curse words.

I do not know, but I sunk an unsuspecting Pensacola in my New Mexico yesterday as "first blood" via spotter plane and 3 citadel hits. It is a great way to start off a game!

With a BB, if I recall correctly it was like 5-6 citadels in one salvo on a Yamato (~70k if I'm not mistaken).

With a CA it was probably around 7-8, I think it was a ~30k salvo on the opponent Atago with my Atago.

With a DD it is 4. Gremy on Furutaka.

I think it was either 6 or 7 citadels in one salvo as I was working over the enemy CVs in my Cleaveland. Ended the game with 26 citadels, 'twas a good game.
