Detonations

[Aschenblume]

 

You probably thought this was a complaint thread didn't ya?

 

Nah. I Think it would be cool to have ships explode in a large ball of fire and shatter when the magazine detonation. Something you could see several km away. The game is already very pretty just more suggestions.

I believe Pigeon_of_War has stated that this is coming Soon^TM...

I approve of this larger explosions idea.

Soon^TM

Can we get them to fracture apart, and have the component sections lift out of the water a bit, before they settle in and sink separately?

  Do you know what was used/done to that orange to make it blow up like that ?

[pewpewpew42]

I like it! Neatly avoided the det whine thread too...

Below you can see what happens when you dont fly the right flag.

I'd love to see fragments hurled into the air and come splashing back down into the sea

I wouldn't mind getting detonated if I could watch that kind of fireworks show.

My opinion on this:

Not a clue. Just kind of stumbled upon it randomly.  

 

Looks like it was a small firework.

Equip my Gneisenau with Tsar Bombas, WG. If the people want explosions you can count on me!

I just hope that the det explosions scale with the size of the ship that has exploded. Larger ship, larger magazine, larger explosion.

Besides the more spectacular explosions making detonations more like ammo racks in WoT with most being the loss of the turret(s) that are serviced from that magazine for the remainder of the match would be good. This would be from flooding the magazine to avoid detonation and would bring a level of realism to the game.

Magazine flooding wouldn't have stopped a detonation like the Hood's.  Magazine flooding is used when there's the threat of a fire reaching the magazine, not an enemy shell exploding in the magazine, causing the detonation..

Right, the Hood and the British BC's at Jutland were the most extreme kind of magazine event. The reason I lobby for a more WoT like magazine event is it will make them more acceptable to the anti-detonation crowd as most magazine events were fire related.
