Sea_viper Players 240 posts 5,054 battles Report post #351 Posted April 7, 2017 Realistically representing APBC rounds? LMAO! Special AP rounds doesn't even represent APBC rounds. CPBC =/= APC Please read careful before shouting at people. RNCL never carries APC, rather they carry CPBC, which stands for Common Pointed Ballistic Caped. So the shell have no Armor Piecing cap to defeat face hardened armor makes them shatter more easily. But it have advantage at oblique angles since AP cap would shear off at oblique angles and lead to more bounces. Hence "special AP" really have its roots from reality and it is much welcomed.

I assumed it was just a typo on your part, and the special AP rules do not represent any of the shells used by the Royal Navy and is not welcome at all.

[TORAZ] Earl_of_Northesk Players 2,447 posts 14,711 battles Report post #354 Posted April 7, 2017 I don't lack knowledge at all, I know a lot more about British ships and their capabilities than you will EVER know, I also have pretty good understanding and logical thinking, don't like that? Then you can f*ck off, but KGV will always be Tier 7 with those 14" guns, no tier higher, no tier lower, and I don't give a f*ck if that doesn't conform to your beliefs, but at least I'm not a complete knob jockey. Also the AP shells are ineffective against DD's and BB's, one of the problems with the Special AP rounds. You haven't played the ships then. Because actually, it's different from HE, but just as effective. And yeah, you finally cracked Quite amusing. The knowledge you have displayed in this forum so far is pretty abysmal. Doubt you had ever even seen navweaps before we showed it to you and that's the basics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also congratulate you on your 15 games with mid tier British cruisers, which were all terrible. Maybe you shouldn't blame the AP for your lack of damage and blame yourself. You shoot at the wrong targets and you shoot at the wrong places. And then, you likely rage and quit. "Knowledge", hm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is with the AP shells, great for taking out other cruisers, but they aren't great at all against anything smaller or bigger, and my games are contributed to playing them aggressively.

It's just factually wrong. Thousands of players prove you are just completely and absolutely wrong. I averaged 76k damage with the Leander, how have I done that? Wizardry, or what?

You really are daft. Of course it's not you playing terrible, it's the shells which do not work! Since you are this knowledgeable, it's clearly not your mistake. I need to ask that Kagero I shot for 10k with one salvo from my Edinburgh yesterday how he feels about my shells not working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
