% chance of detonation on DD's and CA's if their torps are loaded.

[Rekkoff]

 I would like to see DD's and CA's  have a higher and more realistic chance of being detonated if their torps are loaded. In WWII if they went into battle and were not using the torps, they would drop them for fear of them being hit by a shell or bomb. Same went with CA's and CL's. Perhaps give ships the option to load their torpedo's when they want? As it is, DD's are not detonated nearly enough, and it bugs me to no end when my torps blow up but nothing else happens. half my ship would be gone if they blew.

would like to see the same with large shells of 12 inch guns etc, they have a lot of explosives and can certainly cause a detonation (that's how mutsu died btw)

It doesn't matter. There's a 100% reduced chance of detonation flag which you will find on any destroyer or even a cruiser.

Higher detonation chances just for the sake of realism is bad for gameplay.

My Iowa's 3 detonations from a torpedo to the bow while using said flag says otherwise.

Agree with Macabe. One of the more unpleasant balances in the game, and completely done in by the flag.

 

Though I've heard (LWM?) that the detonation flag saves you from the first time you'd detonate only, so if the RNG roll comes up det twice for you in one game it's still fireworks?

There are other flags that raise he detonation chance. You sure you weren't using them?

 

Or maybe it wasn't detonation, since I never get detonated when carrying the flag, yet get detonated often when I don't.

I only ran the increased xp, lower repair, and anti-detonation flags on it. There's inconsistencies when it comes to detonations. The mechanic has never been fully explained other than: "Shell hits magazine->rng->boom maybe?"

I hate detonations myself, but I have to admit it'd be a sweet melody hearing the tears of torpedo cruisers when they actually have to pay the price for those torp tubes.
