I believe I owe the world a detonation

[Lillehuntrix]

So I'm playing Tashkent, and I decide to charge a Lo Yang in smoke.  Bad idea, but he was holding up B cap and really needed to die, plus he was on about 5K health and I was close to full.

 

The predictable happens.  I come at him full speed, he appears at minimum detection just to my right, he launches all torps, I turn in but can't avoid them, and I take what the detailed report reveals to have been 5 of his fish, mostly obliquely to my front section.

 

I survive - I take 13000 damage, but I survive.  I was as surprised as he was, but managed to get my own torps around and sink him.

 

The magic of damage saturation?  The alternative is that I had closed within minimum arming for part of his spread.  No replay, unfortunately.  Anyway, I officially cannot complain the next time I am detonated.

Damage saturation for sure. 

 

I bequeath upon you this gif:

Yes, thanks - I remember seeing that one, but couldn't find it.  Angle was different but, mutatis mutandis, same idea.

 

I almost answered for myself one of my WoWS word problems.  (WoWS word problem: A Khaba, running Sierra Mike with speed boost activated, charges at full speed directly at a Shimakaze sitting in smoke.  At 4 km, the Shima player launches a spread of Torpedo Accelerated F3 torps directly in the face of the Khaba.  The Khaba has neither Vigilance nor the Target Acquisition Module.  Assuming no other mechanism to spot the torpedoes, how much reaction time does the Khaba have between torpedo visibility and impact?  Answer: not freaking enough.)

The game finds ways to pay you back... like after my dd rampage yesterday I took out the bama.

 

"Oh look fletcher torps, guess ill be testing the torp defence"

 

*detonation from 1 torp*

 

Gg to karma lol

I ate 5 torps in my Gearing a few weeks ago.   All hit same spot on ship.  Survived with 17hp.

 

 

17 HP + Adrenal Rush  made the rest of the game fun spamming Gearing torps    (Survived rest of battle, ate the 5 torps in first 4 min (Went Full Tater))
