I've fought 5 battles in my current session and in two of those battles I've been blown up from full health or near full health in the first minutes of the battle. Like seriously wth! Literally the first shot I took in one battle ended me and the second time I'd taken some spalling damage and then the shot after that, BOOM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am sure this has happened to me but I have not noticed it due to low health or something but this was one time it was not hard to notice for everyone lol.

You'll get ten flags preventing it from happening again if you do. Losing all of your life in one volley is different. That means you got citadel hit multiple times because you gave an opposing battleship an ideal shot. We're unsure the mechanics on the former, or if it's preventable or not. The latter? Entirely up to you not to give an opponent such an easy shot. Edited August 28, 2015 by OhnoesFroz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's just a lot of people who aren't clear on what a detonation is mechanically. The flags you receive for that achievement prevent it from happening again, so put those on if it's a recurring problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
