I mean, it is what it is I guess, but that change was made for a reason. Certainly not complaining about the ITA BB line that's coming, but lol. If that's the case, can we get a IJN light cruiser line that has the ability to stealth fire? I mean it'll be fine, it's just one line. It really does get better every patch cycle =) TL,DR I got wrecked by Colombo SAP in a DD. Edited February 5, 2021 by Paul_Revere735 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What if I told you that SAP follows the same 10% damage rule as AP, the SAP alpha was nerfed to about equal with the AP (or worse for lower tiered ships), and that you only got wrecked by Colombo SAP because of the number of shells and NOT individual shell damage? He'd have done about the same damage to you loading AP. Edited February 5, 2021 by thegamefilmguruman 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, most 15" armed BBs don't throw enough shells to do it with 10% pens. Only Pommern, Alsace, Bourg, Lepanto, and Colombo do.

No worries, I had missed the SAP change although just like with AP you will rarely get a standard 33% penetration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
