Do you just lead with your rear and try to get some secondaries? This doesn't have to be a Dunkerque, really any ship with few guns (Looking at you Ognevoi) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

613 [CHEEZ] twitch133 Members 2,614 posts 4,956 battles Report post #10 Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) I had one of my earliest games in my Montana. Somehow I lost all four turrets, even running the main battery survivability module. (This was before the update that increased turret health, or changed the modules) I proceeded to obtain Double Strike, Devastating strike and Close Quarters Expert on two other Montana's. With the secondary battery and the bow of my Montana. Edited December 8, 2016 by twitch133 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good thing 70k + spotting damage is worth so much XP. Some games the only real viable target is the other CV. Edited December 8, 2016 by StoneRhino Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

386 Misniso Members 2,829 posts 6,653 battles Report post #18 Posted December 8, 2016 When it comes to the Dunkerque, they destroy 1 of my turrets like once every 15 games. I haven't had both turrets destroyed before. But supposing that it happens, I'd probably go hunt the CV. Failing that, I'd just go to DD territory and occupy their DD. For some weird reason, as long as you avoid islands and don't sail in a straight line, the Dunkerque is kinda immune to torps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does everyone have Main Armaments Modification 1 equipped? I have 129 games, completely lost one turret in 4 of them while under very heavy fire.

I didn't live long enough after that to lose the second. I'm so glad turrets aren't as delicate as they used to be half a year ago. Nothing slowed a match down quite like having ships that could no longer fight effectively. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
