[SCRUB] Aotearas Players 8,460 posts 13,076 battles Report post #1 Posted February 13, 2018 Soo ... a little continuation from back then: Got spotted by enemy DD, took one volley of BB AP from a Missouri, he hits me with 4 shells (that godlike dispersion RNG) ... *blap* -> *ded*. Missouri AP does 13500 maximum damage, DDs don't have citadels (or so WG is telling us). So 4x(13500x0.33) would be 17820. Still plenty, but not enough to oneshot me. When is that supposed BB AP vs DD fix coming? 9 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Open this topic in 5 years from now on and talk about the good old times where we made fun about the CV rework and how things have changed, now that WG officially announced the rework for 2024 - the year of the CV- for realsies this time! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Consider you need at least one minute and a half to 2 minutes to engage the enemy But totally agree with you Aoteras, playing Khaba a lot those days (It's relaxing + farming the average damage achievement) I know it 's a fat DD but still, the amount of 15k+ dmg volleys from BBs AP is BS.

At least from time to time! Oddly enough, in my BBs i always shoot AP at DDs, i even switch from HE to AP if iM hunting them or expect to be rushed by one. I find its much more reliable...thx WG, these small quality of life improvements makes my BB games so much more enjoyable! But since i play mostly DDs (and CLs) i'd very much appreciate it if it didn't get blapped by random BB shells, so screw the CVs and fix that overpen bug. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SovietFury43 Beta Tester 665 posts 7,033 battles Report post #15 Posted February 13, 2018 Ah, the Misery strikes again. If you think that is bad try playing high tier IJN DDs. If you are not running from radar everywhere, you are running from PA DDs. You spend 80% of the match running away from something. Pretty soon WG will start giving radar and hydro to catapult planes. Then we are truly f*cked. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] piritskenyer Players, Players, Sailing Hamster 3,462 posts 5,363 battles Report post #17 Posted February 13, 2018 DISHONOR! DISHONOR! SHAMEFUR DISPRAY! Seriously bro, less than 5 minutes and dead already? Seriously though. Freaking BB AP has to be adjusted against DD's, as it not only makes it absolutely unfun for DD players (and I don't care how historical it is for BB AP to kill stuff, this is a game balance issue), but it also to a certain degree elminate the need for screening cruisers, and make BB's real jacks of all trades. Which really isn't how it should be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[THROW] wilkatis_LV [THROW] Players 5,061 posts 10,702 battles Report post #18 Posted February 13, 2018 Clearly issue with a shell doing double dmg not X ships interaction with Y ship, because - newsflash! - any ship firing at any ship can get that bug happening, it's just that it becomes more noticeable when a high-damage shell hits a low-health target.

My reaction to being on the receiving end of that volley was more chill than your comment. So tone down the level of condescension in your comments a couple notches mate.
