Oh.... Come on, stop crying. It's a part of the game, just accept it at the end.

 

Plus, you have flag to remove it.

Cant wait till they add battleship HMS Hood.

I expect it to have a +75% chance of detonation added ;-)

"Just accept it"? What a defeatist attitude. That's like saying that a corrupt referee that arbitrarily declares a victor in a boxing game is "part of the game".

Its not rare, people saying so cant be playing the games since they removed the 20% reduction to detonation from the old upgrade improving your guns survivability.

 

Its a mathematical fact that it should go up if you remove that and I DOUBT many people use the 70% reduction upgrade since it do not make sense because the downsides are even bigger.

 

Even if detonations happens once every 10 games that upgrade dont make sense but still people detonate so often its a real annoyance.

I detonate people pretty much every other day or so, its boring and has no skill in it and just kills a fun battle between two ships in an instants.

I want to know if I can best someone, not have them detonate.

 

When I got my Kabha I had no flags remaining, sure as hell I detonated right out of the port in my first match, 0% survival rate, 0% win rate and nothing I could do about it.... I could stop playing the dam game tough that would solve the issue.

 

Therese no skill in detonation and there's always 1-2 ships per match that "detonate", try driving a DD with out it, I detonated twice in a row forgetting to add the flags the first time I got it.

 

I detonated in my Sharnhorst yesterday, its just retarded.

 

It should be a citadel to a magazine at least or a torp, it Should require skill to detonate some one and not this random, "lets put a HE shot on the out most edges of the bow or stern an see the ship explode from gull HP". I mean there's nothing in those areas anyway in a ship.

 

The current implementation is a bad game mechanic that breaks any immersion, removes any skill and satisfaction from the game.

It should require a shell to hit and detonate in side a magazine to have a chance to trigger a detonation.

Tell me how with 60% health I was 'Detonated' in my Yorck Bow-On to the rear of a Konig (at 12km) who hit me with ONE shell?  This should not happen but it does and all to frequently to make me consider never running Cruisers again of any type/class. It's just not worth the hassle of trying to upgrade. It cost 70k xp to get the basic Yorck and for what?. Nope, don't eliminate Detonations, just make it fairer.

 

Don't tell me it's luck and it 'happens'.. because that's cr*p.. it's software !

 

----------------

Well, just had another 'Detonation' one shell hit this time from a Tirpitz. Again I was Bow-On to his angled stern.  I better stop looking up BBs arses :)

Every 78 battles for you.....the exaggeration in this thread is immense.

I like detonations. They almost never happen, but the risk of having one keeps you on you the edge of your sit everytime shells come flying in.

Do you know how averages work? There is nothing 'know all' about pointing out that you have only had 7 detonations in 867 battles, it's a fact. And to have two in a row is your own fault for not adding a newly acquired prevention flag after getting the first one.
