I was sitting at 75% of my health left and BOOM dead all because of RNG? It does way to much damage and seems to happen every game (been DS'd in 6 straight matches now).... This game is becoming more and more frustrating to play and I am NOT having fun when I get destroyed from 100% and 75% health cause of RNG.... Please fix it is NOT fair.

52 Cruiser_Nagara Beta Testers 237 posts 2,331 battles Report post #3 Posted August 12, 2015 What you really mean is you don't want to get blasted to pieces by one salvo hitting something that doesn't play well with a big shell smashing into it. Well, when you grow up to larger battleships, you'll be glad for that happening - to your enemy. Don't show your broadside to something that's about to pump you full of AP, or you will pay for it. Unfortunately you just fell victim to a St. Louis which is difficult to citadel, but it gets easier when you get more guns to work with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is what happens when a shell hits a magazine and sets off all the powder in it exploding the ship immediately. It is rare but happens, and always just random.

I think you mean magazine detonation. You just got 10 flags that negates magazine detonation completely, if you are so bothered by it fly that flag on your ship. You can also spend 125000 credits on Main Battery Modificiation 1 which reduces the chance you get magazine detonation by 20%. In 651 OBT battles detonation had happened to me twice, that's a 0.3% chance and to me seem fairly reasonable.

It is what happens when a shell hits a magazine and sets off all the powder in it exploding the ship immediately. It is rare but happens, and always just random. Doesn't have to be a detonation specifically. An AP shell penetrating for citadel hit is always going to hurt, and if 2 or 3 do so, you're toast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An AP shell penetrating for citadel hit is always going to hurt, and if 2 or 3 do so, you're toast In OP's scenario a St.Louis sunk his 75% South Carolina in one salvo, 3 St.Louis AP citadel only deals 9000 damage and can't sink him. Now that it is confirmed he don't have magazine detonation then, he probably got shot at by another BB while he was focused on the St.Louis.

You know she was only hit by three shells in the battle. USS Arizona was destroyed by one bomb hit. Krishima was sunk by 9 hits from the USS Washington. I can give many more examples of this and its a very realistic part of a naval battle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Realism's a poor excuse for a mechanic in game that's already so wildly far away from realistic in the first place. Random instant-death is a mechanic that is unneeded, especially when quite a few ships are more than capable of doing enough damage with well-placed fire to swiftly eliminate their targets as is. Not arguing for the game to move towards being more simulation-like, though, as it'd make the game both singularly unfun for presumably a large swath of its player-base and so niche that it would, essentially, disappear over night.

My graf spee was blown up by explosives, but while this is arcade, donaldEpott has a point, the realism of citadels with ammo and the magazine detonation comes from real life scenarios, aka realism is in this game even if we don't want to think so.

It is rare but happens, and always just random. it's happened to me twice out of the last 5 games I've played. Insta gibbed in a battleship well over 50 percent health. Once from a cruiser about 9k away and the other firing 4I away with my bow pointed at him. Then people run around claiming a battleship is supposed to tank because it can absorb hits. Maybe so if RNGesus allows it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HMS Hood, one shotted by Bismark because it detonated her magazine. There are endless records for ships exploding from magazine fires and detonations. The only thing you can criticize about citadel hit is that detonation is a % chance arbitrarily added by WG for game balance. Other wise, all other complains are moot. It's the same mechanics that's in WoT for ammo detonation. If you don't like the arcade mechanisms, you can always go try War Thunder where the game uses physics based damage models and it's way more unforgiving than Wargaming's games. In War Thunder a Tiger is actually feared, because it with it's glorious 88 can actually one shot you from 1.5km away. It's not that common, it's not a big deal, deal with it. People only complains when they are on the receiving end anyways. Edited August 12, 2015 by NeutralState Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
