Why I Have No Die-Hards

[TenguBlade]

No, this was not my actual thought process during the match.  I tried torpedoing the Colorado once I passed him and the CV blew up my torpedo tubes with 0.1 seconds left on the reload timer.

I was wondering when we'd see you return, glad to have you back

[ckupf]

No diehards huh? 

 

BUTTSLAP DIE HARD

 

Double die hard!

 

Tachibana die-hard evidence! (didn't screenshot the die-hard itself)

 

 

[ValkyrWarframe]

Tengu you already know of my ramming spree in Ranger...

 

But where was the music?

 

(It's censored, please don't kill me moderators.)

[Peregrinas]

My first Die-Hard was with the Lexington against a New Orleans way way back... 

 

[Wo_9]

do you even ram bro? 

 

[klymar8]

Here is the last one I got . And it puzzles me . How does a Hatsuharu (11,700 base HP) ram a Fubuki (12,900 base HP) and live ?

I have all of one. A Fubuki missed my Baltimore with its torpedoes, so it decided to become the torpedo.

[Sovereigndawg]

Got my only 1 with Kawachi, I did however ram some one in reverse once.

[MrKilmister]

Torpedo soup.

 

The Die-hard I got was three weeks ago with my Cleveland.

Yeah that's part of the reason why I chose this one over any number of failed rams.  To subtly prove that torpedo soup isn't actually a threat to BBs, at least not as great of one as it's perceived to be.  It's very annoying because you can't do much about it, but not terribly dangerous if there isn't some intelligence to the torp walls.

Can't watch it rn, but I got one with a Tachibana (7k hp), if you hit a slow moving or stopped ship at full speed it will do significantly more damage to them than you. If you hit each other at low speeds and grind each other it will do only a little damage to each of you at a time and so if you have more hp you might sink them first. The full HP transfer only happens in collisions where both ships are moving at or near max speed in different directions.

I dont have any either... I tend to either kill the enemy (or die trying) before either of us get close enough

"if you hit a slow moving or stopped ship at full speed it will do significantly more damage to them than you"

This is probably what happened . I sort of hip bumped him and I was going full speed .I will have to look at the replay again to be sure but I think he was not going full speed . Thank you for the explanation as it did have me puzzled .

There is also a ramming flag that reduces ram damage. 

[Battlecruiser_Amagi]

Funny thing about ramming, though. I was in this battle with my Tirpitz a few days ago. Everyone died, so it was 4v1. The 4th ship quickly died to some torps from a teammate, who goes "It's Just a Flesh Wound". So it was 3v1. I ended up killing a DD and a CA, but I didn't have too much health to confidently show my side to torp this last Colorado. The details.

 

In the heat of the moment, I thought that if I rammed him instead, we'd win the game because we would have the most points (barely). I even thought it would get Die Hard because the game would end after he died! But I didn't know that ALL ships dying meant an automatic draw.

 

So yes, ramming there costed me Solo Warrior lol

[Misniso]

Shouldn't you ram something smaller for a die hard?  Wait...maybe you're using those ramming flags...

Yes but I was not using one .

Who was I supposed to ram instead, the Fiji?  Every other ship there was either tied for speed or faster than me and further to boot, not to mention that going after one of them means turning broadside to the Scharnhorst.

 

At any rate, I wasn't intending to ram in this situation to begin with; read the OP.  I just made myself look as inept at ramming as Shingo Shoji because I was being a jerk a few matches earlier.

You're a BB, wait for them to approach you then thrust forward.  Or just aim at their guns.  Permanently decommission them all and watch as they utilize their last option.

[thepigeonmaster]

wel if a heads on ram sinks both ships en none get the die hard shud it not be that if u T-bone a ship u do more damage to that ship than it do to u i mean the bow of a ship shud be harder then a flank

[scruffycavetroll]

Got one in my Nikolai. Only one i need too.

 

Was going against a DD and was getting really close to him. I was so close to him when he launched his torps that my bow just ate them since they couldn't arm, gobbled him right up. NOm nom nom. Chat was funny.
