They was red flares with a tracer tail like tracer rounds and this utterly put me off my game and the dd shot and killed my bb almost straight away with he. I couldnt concentrate to fight back there was so many flare rounds coming at me. I mean what the hell is going on when a dd shoots and kills a bb with he. What are these silly red tracer rounds ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He colors the shell tracers with a red dye, referencing the colored dye of IJN shells during WWII. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With IFHE it can penetrate the superstructure of BBs and nothing else on a BB. Without IFHE it can't penetrate anything on a BB with HE and must use AP, which can only do damage to a broadside BB. You had plenty of time and opportunity to save yourself. The only fast way for an Akizuki to kill a BB is with torpedoes, which I am confident, based on your posting history, that had it done so you'd have let us know in no uncertain whine.
