WG, please don't be stubborn. Get rid of detonations.

[gonowgetdown]

Literally, everyone hates them. Literally everyone.

I don't so your basic premise is flawed.

Cool. I prefer to rely more so on skill and ability than sheer luck. But you do as you please. 

[BiggieD61]

I don't hate them either, it's an integral part of Naval Combat, why should they disable it?

[Xlap]

I dont hate detonations. Dets were common IRL, even more than they are in game.

Umm with RNG even deciding if you even hit a target let alone do a citadel or get a detonation, what skill is there past basic gunnery?

[1Sherman]

I don't hate detonations. Why? Two reasons.

1: THIS IS A GAME. I don't let a bad match or a stroke of bad luck infuriate me because relative to the stuff in my real life, this is pretty small. As well, there's always another game.

2: If I'm worried about detonations, I equip Juliet Charlie and those worries instantly disappear. I also don't worry about running out because loot boxes, Ranked, and only using them on DDs (because the likelihood of anything else getting detonated is too small to warrant using them) give me a sustainable supply.

 

Now, I hope that you take this advice and put it into practice.

I don't like them, but they so rarely to me that I really don't care. 

O, and you have only 20 detonations, thats only 0.53% of your matches ending in a detonation.. you are way below average. 

[Wombatmetal]

I hate dets too, so I use mag mod 1 on my DDs. If you don't like dets, mitigate.

 

Of the 1500 ships sunk in WW2 22 were detonations, about 1.5% of the total. The game is less than that. So no philosophical problem with detonations.

 

But a moral one. WG, if you are going to make my ship go boom, it is a crime it does not have a cool animation

[RipNuN2]

O this thread again haha

No kidding. Since the tanks team made turrets blow off, should have am epic ship shattering explosive.

WG could at least add a nice BOOM when a ship det.

Also be glad that WG hasn't added detonations due to misfires of the guns.

[Dadaan]

And of the Dets people do sustain, i would venture to say less then half of them occur when you are full health.

Yes,, we want turrets flying

[Stauffenberg44]

Nevermind detonations, maybe tone it down on giving away freebie ships many of us paid hard cash for.

Stop trying to speak for other people than yourself and your circle of friends.  Extremely arrogant of you to presume that you can speak for me or anyone else.

 

Dets don't bother me any.  Random things happen in combat.  

[FayFay731]

I love them even when I get detonated, makes for good videos and screenshots.

A turret flying a couple hundred meters and falling into the water. And a smoke cloud were the ship det.

Literally not true.  Now go away.

[twitch133]

I would be happy to get rid of them.

 

Having an extensive background in first person shooters.... there is no analogue.

 

The closest thing would be, an RNG roll to see if that shot to your big toe would count for the same damage as a headshot.

[HowitzerBlitzer]

I want bigger explosions, and more of them.
