I got a DD on my left just outside of seconds range and an Edinburg close behind an island. The Ed got some torps off, but I was in a lazy turn and was more worried about the dd. I knew I was going to take one, no biggie. Ate the torp...and... DET. No shoot. One torp det the GK. I know it is possible. No one is immune. I may have just rolled that one in a million. But that was a shock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really sucked that that was her 100th battle too.... Only consolation I got was that I was dead anyways, the det was just icing in the cake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5,644 [O7] 1nv4d3rZ1m Alpha Tester, Alpha Tester 12,147 posts 9,111 battles Report post #8 Posted April 27, 2017 German BBs have weak TDS plus BBs are still vulnerable to detonations if damage happens to their magazines and the easiest way to do that is with torps. Generally hitting a BB under the turrets will do it, the Yamato is particularly vulnerable to torpedo hits under the rear turret detonating it. I have also detonated a scharnhorst with torps up the rear. Its not a conspiracy just a friendly reminder that dds can still occasionally hurt a BB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

76 Freddie_Creamer Members 691 posts 1,189 battles Report post #10 Posted April 27, 2017 I don't remember the last time I've been detonated. But I feel the day is coming soon, been running both of the increased burn chance signals without the anti-detonation signal. I pray to all of the gods every time a volley heads my way that it doesn't happen. (although I'll get more signals out of it...so there is that.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Currently working on the Bayern and this is having me worry about eating torps when I get to the GK. Generally speaking if I have to eat one or two in the normal pace of the game it isn't much more than an annoyance. Which was why I was a little lax about taking the one from Edin just to not get out of position on the DD I was hunting. In any game I have had in the GK to date, that was just a "whatever". So the Det was a little shock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What sucks is that dets are in the game at all, and are so important to WG's management of game length that they don't sell det flags. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway it could be a devastating strike? So far I have had 7 devastating strikes and one detonation in 43 games (I did start off with no.1 being the devastating strike). I main DDs so expect the possibility to be a little higher than other ships. When you consider I don't die every match that's quite high lol.

537 [KNTAI] Battlecruiser_Amagi [KNTAI] Members 3,134 posts 9,120 battles Report post #17 Posted April 27, 2017 Shiet happens mate. I got detonated once from full HP on Bismarck by eating one torp from a CV. But hey, detonations tend to be rare, specially on BB's. CV's themselves are immune to detonations, whereas cruisers are more vulnerable, because of their less protected magazine. DD's have it by far the worse out of the three classes affected by the mechanic, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been seeing a lot more sets too though, haven't detonated myself in awhile but I'm seeing at least one detonation every couple games, often two dets in the same game. Even saw the rare kind - a New Mex getting detonated by a battleship shell, a la Hood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Battlefield is pretty open with ALL of their statistics and game mechanics. And they have more competition than WG does. That would be the perfect reason to keep them secret. I just have a hard time fathoming the need for secrecy... Why did it take them 2+ years to release the detonation mechanic? Even then being incredibly vague about it?
