I've been reading through the Wiki and have a few questions

[kgskippy]

These are just some things that I didn't find in the past half an hour reading through the Wiki:

 

1: Will shots be able to "bounce" or penetrate through armor without doing damage like in WoT, or is every shot one that can damage?

 

2: What will happen if a carrier is destroyed while it still has planes in the air? Will they continue to attack the enemy until they need to refuel or will the simply just cease to exist.  

 

3: Flotation and listing seem to be a big thing in this game.  Could a full salvo from a ship with a large armament cause enough of an impact or force (not necessarily damage) to cause the ship to capsize?

1. Shots will bounce. A destroyer's 5inch gun cannot penetrate a Yamato's armor belt

2. The planes will stay in the air till destroyed or they run out of fuel.

3. I don't think the force would cause it to capsize but a lack of floatations could

Those questions are in the faq it's just a pain in the [edited] to find them because there are so many questions in there now.

1. Shots will bounce

2. Planes will stay in the air, I think. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

3. No a ship will not capsize firing its full armament nor will a full salvo from a battleship capsize a destroyer. At least not right away.

1. I wouldnt be surprised if there were some pen no damages. Ships did have areas were there wasnt any critical components and the hit wouldnt do any damage. It is also possible that a shell could go right through a ship and out the other side not causing any further damage. Not sure if these will be represented by pen no damage or pen followed by very little HP loss.

 

2. Planes will continue to stay in the air until they run out of fuel. Unfortunately aircraft have to return to the carrier to rearm so once they expend their ordinance their roll is reduced to just scouting if that.

 

3. I dont think so.

Here is some more information...

 

        Submarines are being excluded from this game for various reasons, too slow, to vulnerable, and matchmaking/in-game problems that would arise. Any ship smaller than a destroyer will also not be included because this game focuses on fleet battles not small ship engagements. Don't ask if your favorite ship is going to be included because if its bigger than a destroyer, smaller than 80,000 tons, was an actual logical design, and was in one of these countries United States, Japan, Great Britain  Germany, Soviet Union, France, Italy it will most likely end up in this game at some point in time.

It might (emphasis on the might) be a little more complex than that, but bounces are certainly possible. The real question is what happens when you throw stuff into his unarmored superstructure or simply above the main belt, which isn't always up to the main deck, and the answer to it is not known.

I don't know about that last bit. During the latter stages of Jutland, SMS Nassau rammed the British destroyer Spitfire, then fired a broadside. It missed, but the force of the blast alone took off the destroyer's entire superstructure, killing all but the captain and one other man on the bridge. It is entirely possible that, had Spitfire been a few dozen yards further away and been hit point blank by that broadside, she would have capsized.

Yes, but I'm talking about in game stuff not in real life.

confirmed by KGB, there have been instances where battleship rounds have hit destroyers and gone right through without detonating, and it was asked if this would be modeled

Answers were very well handled. Remember the Wiki has a very effective Search box in the left navigation.

 

Thanks for doing some research first!

Yes, unlike the WoT forums, these actually a very good search function. Which makes me wonder wth is up with WoT NA's forum search function. I mean I can literally do a search on my own posts and it will bring stuff up from July 2011 as the "Latest" yet I can go into my own profile and see one from March 13th 2013....way to go forum!

 

Also as simulation stated the pen no damage part has been confirmed, but we don't know to what extent due to areas like superstructure which were not armored and the fact that they did house things like FCS systems as radar and optics and you could effectively damage their radar by cutting the power cables with a shell (Which happened to Duke of York vs Scharnhorst)
