914 [REVY] Lord_Slayer Members 2,609 posts 14,236 battles Report post #13 Posted November 23, 2020 it also depends on the ship angle. Was the DD broadside? or did the shell go the length of the hull? One is an overpen, the other is full penetration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have been power crept big time so they are no longer as feared by BB players as they used to be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
67 [JHF] wooserloop [JHF] Members 287 posts 5,046 battles Report post #19 Posted November 24, 2020 I'd just use HE on all DDs except the Khabarovsk. Chances are a BB loaded with AP would probably just shoot a DD with it and not go through the trouble of switching to HE. Probably a opportunity shot. I've been hit my AP from BBs as a DD player and seen it still takes chunks off. But it could of been worse. Also could of been taking damage from another source as well. I notice it combines total damage taken for a moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
