Maybe it’s because I got Hood in a Santa container Edited February 11, 2020 by JEFFREY_LEI 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

143 [BOMBS] LaurenBacall Members 121 posts 11,090 battles Report post #6 Posted February 12, 2020 As a general rule, I hate detonations. To min/max opportunities to avoid this, I follow these rules: Always but the detonation flag on a destroyer. Yes, you should always "drive it like you stole it", but detonations still suck. Always but Magazine Modification 1 on a cruiser. The advantages from MAM1 aren't as potent on a cruiser - I rarely lose turrets or torp tubes, and never get detonated. No point on placing these on a battleship or a carrier, for obvious reasons. Problem solved! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just make your magazines healthier with the proper upgrades and skill point usage and you’ll be mostly fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
