Colorado guns keep breaking.... literally.

[Madman7]

So I have played a few battles in the Colorado (Post "Buff").  I like it for the most part, good brawler. 

 

My 1 complaint is... its turrets. wthare they made of? Cardboard?

 

The past few battles I have had anywhere from 1 to 3 turrets destroyed during the match.  It only has 4 turrets, so losing 3 really hampers my damage output... lol.

 

NOTE: I have had Main Batt Mod 1 (-20% risk to main battery becoming incapacitated) installed since I bought it, but it does not seem to be doing any good. 

 

Anyone else seeing this issue?  Was it an issue prior to the buff?

 

thanks,

I never had this issue myself, out of 60 odd battles. You could just be getting unlucky.

I had 176 battles. Maybe lost turrets a couple of times. Never noticed a problem. Must be luck...

ok, thanks for the info..

New Mexico loses turrets quite easily too.

 

I think it's just the way the turrets are designed. Unlike IJN turrets that are shaped like a turtle's shell, USN turrets are boxy and are, probably, considered to have inferior protection, according to WG.

 

I don't know the exact details, but that's what it feels like.

I think the rng isn't so random as it should be.  I had one day a couple weekends back that I had turrets being destroyed all the time without much if any damage being done to the rest of the ship.  Never had an issue with it before or after, so I'm blaming rnjesus.

Yeah I played 4 games last night in Colorado. Lost turrets in 3 of them. In one game I lost both front turrets. Even in that game though I had fun. It was very challenging to fight with no front turrets.

You know what sucks worse than this, losing both your front guns on a NC and not having the opportunity to turn around because you have 2 Yammies in front of you.

if you look at the armor on the gun casemates they seem to be pretty low for turret armor and it should be a high as ciadel armor maybe it just needs fixed?
