"Fun and Engaging" I always feel bad when i see this happen to someone in a match.. Such a crap mechanic Edited January 9, 2017 by Spyde Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,477 [HINON] renegadestatuz Members 7,656 posts 8,214 battles Report post #5 Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) I've been detonated 18 times. Only 2 times were those detonations not in a BB. Once in my Fletcher, and once in my Minotaur. The remaining 16 times I've been detonated were all in my German BBs, 3 times in the FDG. And every time I was detonated in a BB was by torps.

772 Wowzery Members 4,546 posts Report post #9 Posted January 9, 2017 Well, you could hop into another BB and be detonated by another torp in the first couple of minutes. (Actually had that happen in back to back games in the Ishuzichi and then Imperator Nikolai). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3,386 [YORHA] JCC45 Members 5,133 posts 10,306 battles Report post #10 Posted January 9, 2017 I can confirm it is possible to get detonated from full health by a single torp on the nose of a Colorado. Still got the flags to prove it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5,872 [WOLFG] Skpstr Members 30,595 posts 9,232 battles Report post #11 Posted January 9, 2017 Exactly. It's always fun to OHKO an enemy ship, and it means I can be engaging another enemy that much sooner. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,454 [FOXEH] DoomStomper Beta Testers 3,985 posts 2,106 battles Report post #12 Posted January 9, 2017 Lol, a few months ago I made the mistake of angering RNGsus by pointing out that I'd only been detonated once in a little over 1000 battles. That weekend my full health Nikolai proceeded to get detonated by a single Izyaslav torp. Still only been detonated 4 times in 1288 battles to date, so can't really complain...

41 Lord_Adm_Nelson Members 381 posts 5,656 battles Report post #13 Posted January 9, 2017 no ship is immune to a det. First time I played Kongo detonated from 1 torp. On the opposite last week I detonated a full health fletcher at 15km with 1 hit from VMF 6", Its a fact it can happen so its a mechanic that is here to stay, just the way RNG blesses or cruses you.

25 [AK] Danno_ Beta Testers 183 posts 21,135 battles Report post #14 Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Detonated an almost full health Hipper last week with a Tirpitz HE shell from about 15kms away.

2,750 [FOXEH] Kitsunelegend Beta Testers 6,103 posts 1,313 battles Report post #15 Posted January 9, 2017 I was once detonated by taking a single torp up the stern of my Scharnhorst once... Sneaky little DD snuck around our fleet and got behind us without anyone knowing. Killed me with roughly 3/4 of my health left, then went on to kill two more of our BBs before being finally hunted down by a cruiser lol To this day, I think its my one and only detonation I've ever had, not counting the one or two in co-op. =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

326 [WSUND] Captain_Dilbert Members 1,494 posts 12,203 battles Report post #17 Posted January 9, 2017 I think I'm actually quite unlucky as I've been detonated 57 times in 3300+ plus battles...and I am very careful to make sure I am running the Juliet Charlie (100% reduction to detonation) flag anytime that I run India X-Ray or Juliet Whiskey flags.

1,259 cometguy Members 2,992 posts 5,204 battles Report post #18 Posted January 9, 2017 The Germans don't consider attacks by a lone destroyer to be any threat, or they'd have a tighter defense. An analysis of the plans provided by princess Elizabeth has demonstrated a weakness in the battleship. The approach will not be easy. You are required to move within 9 kilometers, and the target area is only 2 meters wide. It's an ammunition magazine. A precise hit will start a chain reaction that should destroy the ship. Only a precise hit will set off a chain reaction. Also that DD captain used to bullseye wamprats in his T-16 back home, and they're not much bigger than two meters.

I felt a little dirty when I detonated a Minotaur when playing my Missouri. I got over it pretty quick when I realized that RNG was going to bone the guy anyways since I was going to land a bunch of citadels and probably delete him regardless.

I don't like it when the enemy gets detonated either, just feels like RNG killed them instead of me. Really, why is this mechanic in the game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
