[OLDYS] warsinger2 Players 261 posts 3,403 battles Report post #5 Posted January 19, 2018 USS BBs tend to have their turrets cover their barbettes better but you can sneak a peak on Montana, their it says 102mm. Well either an intended weakspot or another special quirk for the Italians since the Guilio has an even weaker barbette cover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This pretty much, some BB turrets have thin looking plates, KGV is the best example I can think of. Bear in mind anything hitting it is going to be at heavy angles so shells will likely miss the thin bits or bounce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ye i agree with that one. Wouldnt even be sure at what range it would be possible to penetrate that part, other than it will autobounce. And hitting that place... good luck? Apparently the side armor from the turret is week also, so id say thats why your guns get disabled easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But still imo very unlikely. Even if, is it really that game breaking?

That would be number 4 - good luck when every BB can overmatch that part 3 minutes ago, von_chom said: you got it from the wrong side this should be look upon from the receiving end.... sooner or later they will hit you randomly, considering its size, its sooner rather than later Look at how easy Cruiser guns break. Or go bow tanking with any bb vs any non Yamato/Musashi BB and shoot the frontal armor of the turret. U can easily knock out US/RN Turrets aiming at them. Not sure about GErman Turrets, i dont usually brawl with them Even got my front turret destoyed once by a NC when i played ROon with 1! SAlvo. Today hit Minotaur with missouri -> Destroyed his turret. Yamato shot me twice angled Missouri -> 2 times turret disabled. Happens all the time to any ship, and i think its ok like that. If its not happen all the time when playing Roma (i havent shot that many salvos at them so far) i think its ok. And i mean that u lose a turret permanently like every game or so.

[TORAZ] El2aZeR Beta Tester 15,686 posts 25,588 battles Report post #18 Posted January 19, 2018 Regardless of how thick the plating it, it doesn't affect the survivability of the turret against AP shells as plunging fire effectively doesn't exist. The distance needed for BB shells to achieve plunging fire is in excess of ~25km due to auto-bounce. Any hit closer than that will simply bounce off the 50mm barbette roof just as well as if it were a 200mm plate. Thus the only thing this would affect is HE and bomb performance. Still a valid reason to look into it, but citing plunging fire is stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still a valid reason to look into it, but citing plunging fire is stupid. Probably more an HE issue to begin with. I reckon any HE that can penetrate that 50mm barbette roof can disable the gun and with subsequent hits completely destroy it. And at tier VIII there's a couple ships that can easily penetrate 50mm or armour with HE (all BBs and all german CAs). And since BB players have found that shooting HE everywhere is fun, getting your turrets peppered with BB HE is hardly a rare occurance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's almost annoying how often something damage the guns. Unlikely as mechanics you need a hit outside the autobounce angles since even Yami cannot overmatch 40mm outright which translates down to as people have said extreme plunging fire on a very small surface. Lets face it the Guilio's turrets ain't that strong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
