Detonations

[Nuk_]

Has anyone else been detonated more often since 5.2 released? Since it dropped, I've been detonated 5 times, in ships ranging from my Blysawicka to my Iowa. That's as many times as I got detonated since before 5.2, and I've been playing since the beginning of open beta.

[Goose21891]

Nope.

[klymar8]

Nope      Oh lord  did I just say that ? Now it will happen to me !

[Sir_Godz]

A lot of stuff in game seems to happen in clumps.

Just a perception issue

I've seen my bro's iowa detonate just yesterday, I forgot iowa could even detonate

I bought the Khab upon 5.2 release, got detonated twice in my first 10 games.. 2nd game detonated, put on flags... Like 8th game detonated (I used some flags for other DDs and ran out).  Didn't see a problem on other boats, but the Khab does have 4 rather weak turrets.

[Macabe]

I've been getting more magazine incapacitated messages in my Iowa(thank god for detonation flags) so i would say probably yes if i didn't have a stockpile of flags.

[DaJokr]

I don't really wanna speak on account of my luck with detonations since forever lol

Lol saw a Izumo explode, dude went nuclear in the chat....

 

 

What a stupid game mechanic.

I've seen increased det's on my T8 ships that I don't use the flags on, enough so that I need to find a good ship to get blown up in at lower tiers so I can get more flags lol

A "rumor" going around those flags don't always work.

[Gunplay813]

Nope just a lot of wrecked turrets.

I have been detonated more in battleships by torpedoes.  It always seems to occur when you would have certainly died anyway.  I welcome the change since I get the flags when I would not have before and am not dying anymore.

Well I've taken idiotic single torp detonations before (why have a torpedo bulge if the mag goes up anyways) but no not really

daily reminder that dd shouldn't die from detonations

 

On 11 January 1944, while escorting a convoy of four ships in the South China Sea, Amatsukaze was torpedoed by the submarine USS Redfin. The resulting magazine explosion severed the bow of the ship and killed 80 crewman. Miraculously, the ship did not sink.

 

it's bb who commonly died to them, not dd; amatsukazu fought well into 1945 afterwards, denied the kill to that cheeky submarine

A daily reminder that you have an unnatural bias toward your pet class and want to give it every advantage possible while tearing appart the class you happen to be the counter to. Seriously, what is going in in that corrupted brain of yours?

My DD's seem to more often det for some reason, Benson off the top of my head less so with Fubuki or Kag but probably because they get shot at a lot less.

Yes, back on topic, absolutely...yes.

 

I have 40 or so battles in since patch yesterday and have been detonated 7 times.  That was in the new polish DD x2, aurora, Fubuki, Atago and others i can't remember.  So absolutely they did increase the detonations.  And I am guessing it is to drive more flag sales.

 

Oh yeah, x2 in my Konigsberg

Literally, next round....not 5 minutes after my last post....detonated.

That's how random works. You can get long stretches of nothing followed by a cluster. Or you could have nice evenly spaced events. That's randomness.

I have the feeling detonation chance reduction works like fire chance reduction, where the 100% reduction in detonation chance actually works out to a 50% reduction, or something.

That's how random works.

 

Its also how stealth patch changes work.  I came to this forum to see if others felt there was an increase in detonations and found a thread indicating that at the top of the forum.  Not likely RNG.
