Never thought I would get this achievement on my BB

Had a nice fight in a recent match with an Atlanta. I ended up eating 4 torps for it as he came around an island (my fault, but it is what it is my CA was going around one way, I was going around another and neither one of us could see which way he was going so it was a 50/50 at which one of us was going to engage him first). But I ended up with this.

Nice job! It definately is one of the hardest to achieve. I haven't ever got it.

:3 I got it my first week here. I must be lucky... Thing is you want to go after CL's while there around the 1/2 health mark drop a small salvo then just stay close to em.

Best one I got was when I sank 6 ships in one match, 3 BBs, 2 CLs and 1 CV x3 I was the last one on the team and was wiggin out LOL - HAIL FUSO! (with hull upgrade) x3

 

Still It is decently hard to get. Only one time and I have not had it since out of my 160+ BB matches qq.

 

Grrr typos qq.

I would expect it in a BB more then anything else personally, as they tend to be the most secondary laden ships, but I too have only ever gotten it on an IJN DD as well. Who knew.

I felt the same way when I got a Die Hard medal in my Umikaze. Was rammed by a Wakatake and survived. I was so surprised that I forgot to hit my repair and sank about 2 seconds later.

I got it in my Kawachi. :amazed: At least the Colorado has enough secondary power to be dangerous.

I don't have the achievement, but the stock Umikaze is probably the easiest ship to get it in as it has the lowest hitpoints of any ship with secondary guns.  Close to 2 km so the secondaries can fire, hope they score at least 1720 damage and then point-blank torpedo them.  Shouldn't take too many tries to make that work if you really wanted to.

Do DD even have secondaries :unsure: if they do I haven't noticed them.

iirc I got mine in my Cleveland .  I have the commanders skills set up for that though since I am also set up for AA support . This means my secondary's move , load and aim faster . And since I have learned to always ctrl click on the closest and/or closing ship I seem to get more hits . As I recall it I was trying to kill one DD when another came to his help . Clicked on the new one and proceeded to kill the first and then turned turrets and ship to get the second only to have close quarters awarded as he died before my main guns could bear .

Got this in my Kongou last night..... against a Cleveland no less.  Guy decided to close the distance for some reason which gave my secondaries a nice big target to burn up.

 

Not sure what the guy was thinking to be honest....

WG doesn't animate crewmembers, so you don't see the guy with the slingshot on the aftdeck.

 

More seriously, they do actually have secondary guns.

Only the Umikaze. Even the upgraded hull gets rid of those.

 

It also only has 8600 HP on the stock hull, so all that was needed to get the achievement was 1720 damage as well as the kill.

 

There are two possibilities; a very wonky IJN DD vs. IJN DD point blank gun fight, or it was a detonation (pairs with the Devastating Strike).
