I have no idea what the mechanics behind getting a dev strike are but so far as I can tell (this has happened to me before). If take off a majority of a ship's health (or all, I'm not too sure) in a few salvos then it still qualifies as a dev strike, though don't quote me on that one.

579 hexeris Beta Testers 907 posts 14,400 battles Report post #3 Posted February 23 I got a Dev strike last night on a DD that only had 1-2k hp left and I hadn't hit him before. Weird stuff happening. Got a pink too from apparently torping a DD that was at my stern. Checked the after battle and did roughly 4k damage to him, how I have no idea.

You might want to put in a ticket but I am also going to guess that this is random and near impossible to recreate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In theory: Devastating Strike Destroy an enemy ship with a SINGLE artillery salvo, torpedo salvo, or aircraft attack by causing damage over 50% of the destroyed ship's normal HP.

I got devstike. Weird. Kitakaze torps are quite mean. Depending on what health he was on before you started, where you hit him and which torps you used, 3 x IJN torps (especially if outside the torpedo belt) and a flood (especially if it was double) taking more than half an Alsace's health doesn't seem beyond the bounds of possibility.

That is the description, yes, but it’s actually a matter of dealing that amount of damage in a certain short period of time. Case in point: I’ve gotten Devastating Strike and Close Quarters Expert achievements at the same time when I’ve landed a big salvo and my secondaries dealt the killing blow.
