easy solution dont use HE against that BB

[jss78]

In the current meta (I mean, the last few days) with all those UK BB's, I think an interesting question is if I should hit DCP at TWO fires.

 

Playing a UK BB myself, and with 5x those zombie heals, I can repair a lot of fire damage. And everyone and his dog is lobbing HE shells.

But it damages the pretty coat of paint I put on the ship. How else am I supposed to keep the ship nice and sparkly? Oh, I know, I get out of enemy BB range. That'll do it.

Please BBs do continue.... I love my Iron Duke and her HE. . On other notes, Orion Is a oure Heavy Cruiser. Why? well because she is also a pure HE spammer. She can Literally CITADEL Cruiser with her HE.. Im not gonna sell her. British HE wont be hit hard.Why? well because British HE was actually very strong. Apparantly they had a lot of Explosive Mass.

I've already started doing that with my Nelson

[Kreskent]

Actually keep doing it so i can inflate my average damage.

Most of my recent battles in BBs I've died due to 3-4 fires right after using DCP on... 3-4 fires! The HE spam is ridiculous but I rarely get burned by RN BBs. Usually what sets me on fire are CAs, lucky DDs and lately other BBs. For some reason even non-RN BBs have started spamming HE (maybe to test and compare it to the RN).

 

Regarding DCP - it should be used on a single fire only when you are going behind cover OR if you are very low on HP and can't heal in time, but then that must be obvious to any captain with at least half a brain... :D

[Lin3]

Repairing 1 fire is the triumph of optimism over pragmatism.

 

 

Who needs XVM when you can spot novice BB captains by how quickly they pop their repairs?

[Sydd]

This goes hand in hand with bbs firing HE on other bbs that are broadside on. I've lost count of how many times I've yelled at my screen when I see people firing HE when AP would have been the wiser choice. But hey ho. I certainly don't complain when bbs fire HE on my unangled belt. More of that please! 

 

With regards to fires, its getting frustrating how often I'm on fire with those damn bbs. Although, I must say, the max a RN bb has done to me is give me 2 fires which I put out and then gtfo and heal and try again. I think the fire % chance needs tweaking if not an outright nerf but its just my opinion based on a one sided observation.

can people plz keep repairing 1 fire

 

Its fun to set a fire or two on you afterwards

 

[ThePurpleSmurf]

It's funny, because I've seen popular streamer telling the same 'do not put out one fire, next salvo you get a perma fire and you are screwed'. And guess what? The first fire burned the full duration, you know, like a perma fire.  And even worse, sometimes it happens that you let burn a fire for 45+ seconds and it's almost done when you get a second fire. Now what do you do? Let the second fire also burn the full duration, so you had 2 full perma fires, because you were afraid to put out the first fire in case you get a perma?

 

It's situational. If you let a fire burn your detection range increases and you get shot at all the time. If you can put out the fire and be undetected, so you can reposition, then do it. Especially as US BB where your repair last forever and you can not be set on fire again for a while.

Use your brain for if or if not put out a fire. Most retarded thing is to let a fire burn the whole time if you are about to get behind cover where nobody can shoot at you.

[HipHipHipper]

It’s tradition for us BB captains along with sailing in straight lines with destroyers lurking around, and cruise straight in to a smoke screen that’s attacking you

One reason why I usually fire my MoO's guns like this...

 

1. Aim at BB,
2. shoot one gun...
3.    if Fire achieved wait
4.       If fire gets drenched fire all other guns
5.       else shoot next gun
6.       goto 3
7.    else goto 2.
8. watch enemy BB burn down like a candle
9.    if enemy BB is still alive go to 2
10.    else look for next BB
11.    restart procedure from 1.

Of course you can add a bit of sugarcoating to it if the burning enemy BB still offers you broadside and use a bit of AP to add to all the fire damage...

I've noticed this too but mostly from my Essex deck. Strike one bomber, get one fire, darn, he repaired, hit with to ore squads and get 3-4 more fires. And then just watch the rage. 

 

Of cource I can also hit with one, get double fire, they repair and then strike more with planes they didnt see before. But thats not players fault, thats just CV gameplay.

Yes that's an old trick from CV's. Though it's usually the other way around: make a torp strike first because of the oh so dreaded flooding and lit the target up after DCP wears off. I'm trying to let the flooding tick on for a few seconds before DCP-ing so I can quench the fires in 1 hit. And flooding dmg is also fully repairable. Though it might take 2 repairs to get the HP back.

Like already suggested: 1 (or 2 and even 3) fires won't kill you right away. It's highly depending on the situation when to DCP. Even when in full cover you might want to let the fire burn if there's a DD threat. Better to suffer a full fire then a perma flooding. and no there is no "golden rule" Sometimes (in my case often) you'll make a mistake and DCP too soon. It's part of being a human being.

I sold Orion..... RIP

But the BBs who are still noobs THRIVE....

But Im not dedicated on the Brit BB line now.... Making old commitments with the Germans. The HE spamming reduced as expected but Brits still fire HE...

Thought they would forget bout that good HE

tbh, is its a Brit BB setting flames on yer deck, Hold out till the third flames, but its not easy to get the third fire at times.... Unless you are damn long like YAMATO

[lup3s]

on the other hand you have these lucky ******* who repair a single fire and are the next minute(s) somehow immune to fires because fire RNG is screwing you over

[almitov]

Yesterday I bought the Conqueror. 3rd game with it and I managed to top my highest damage record by making 330K damage. This all happened due to people putting out 1 fire, just so that I could then set them on fire again on 3-4 places... Good job, red team! Keep up the good work ;)

That was only true for the first world war, at the time of WW2 the british had switched to a multi purpose HE with both nose and base fuses instead of nose fuse only in order to reduce the number of different shell types aboard the battleships and to ease logistics which had about 2/3 of the explosive content thus WW2 and efter era RN BBs really should not have the high fire probability they have.
