MadMac392 Players 12 posts 4,097 battles Report post #1 Posted December 9, 2017 So I take it the no Skill HE spam from tier 7 to 10 BB is the way to go now? Had two game and all the BB were just spamming HE even if there under 12km on a broadside ship. I under stand HE from over 15Km or at max range but not under that and you can not do much when your on fire all the time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just load AP and kill them and be thankful that they are spamming HE 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[HMSR] Major_Damage225 Beta Tester 2,875 posts 7,295 battles Report post #8 Posted December 9, 2017 I like it when the BB's on the read team spam HE, just to dissapear after a few salvos of AP (not so good to see when it's your BB teamated though) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are much more tanky when they shoot HE. Fires are 100% repairable. AP unless you play the Conq or Lion at long range(which you should not do). Even the Conq AP is pretty good at medium range. If you are not in British BB's. Go AP only. If not, you miss out on some juicy retarded 15k dmg AP pens on DD's. Also who does not like to do 30k dmg to broadside GKF's without getting citadels?

And before you say anything I never put out 1 fire only 2 or that can happen with the RN bbs yes. thats why they are so OP. high HE damage + high fire chance. the other BBs will not do that damage with he unless their insanely lucky. the HE damage is not that high and the fire chance is not either. they would have more use firing AP at you.. so when i see BBS shooting HE apart from RN bbs im not that worried.

Its like you delete cruisers that are angeled. That is down to RNG not the ship. Ive done 19 fires with 100 hits in the Kidd and 1 fire on 50 hits with the Conq. Does not happen that often, but it happens. So if you wanna nerf BBs like the Conq, pls also nerf the Yamato, Montana and GKF. They can do the same, but are much tankier! All in all. RNG! That is why i detonate all the time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you got a fire or two on you most ppl focus on something else and its free killing for you. Need a tutorial??? Keep in mind after all that i look at myself as a bad BB player when i compare myself to some of my clanmates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
