Did Amagi get nerf'd

[Bismarck26]

 

I been playing since beta and I know what to shoot at but it has been MONTHS since I have gotten a citadel with my BB firing at another BB. Last game played minutes ago firing at 5km range pretty much point blank an then getting Pen hits 3 of them on the turret and not citadel, next salvo 2 more pens  waterline under the 2 forward turrets and nothing ............ ship is only a North Carolina not like I'm taking on an IOWA not to mention I get hit only twice by one of them no matter wear and its death.  Last night played a game and the Iowa missed every shot but one and it hit the very tip of the ship like where the anchor sits and took 30,000 Damage from that lol .... not a single critical thing there.  Anyways back to my original rant.

I know about the update and yank ships that needed no upgrade got a devastating armor upgrade.  When traveling parallel to an enemy and not on an angle citidels should be an easy thing to achieve.  Even when I am taking on ships below me like the Nagato they kick my [edited]from here to the moon.  Know if I just some how started to suck where I used to get citadels every match and sink 3 to 4 ships every game, I am flabbergasted to know that I cant get anything done at all recently. 

 

Some advice would be great

 

Thanks

No but high tier USN BBs have gotten considerable buffs over the past several months.

Just bought mine back with the Anniversary discounts and she is as fantastic as ever.  Keep her strongly angled.  You broadside to anything and you risk death.  I have mine spec'd strongly for secondary's as I have a tendency to play her like a cruiser and chase DDs.  Those secondaries are a life saver when that low health DD is coming back after you and you are waiting for a reload.

Just remember that the Amagi is more of a battlecruiser than a battleship, so can't take the pounding of other BBs in the game.  Your experience in getting citadel hits...hang it up to RNG, because I got a citadel on an Iowa from 15km in my Amagi last night....yes it was broadside.

I would chalk it up to the NC being more angled than you thought it was.

 

If you cannot see the rear turret pointing at you, then it's not a broadside.

The Amagi and the Zao are my two highest damage/XP producers. No degradation noticed.

Good info, in this scenario I could see all turrets and enemies flags.  Just played another game seconds ago and a bomber wing from a sipan did 25,000 damage to me .... never seen that before usually they do that kind of damage as you burn this was all in one shot then I burned.  I need to figure out how to record games and post them so much odd stuff happens to me.

In an Amagi you are far more likely to citadel an Iowa over the N. Carolina....the Iowa is a citadel magnet, I've landed 3 in one salvo from my Amagi before.  Besides most of the time the NC captains angle well, then forget how to do it once they get the Iowa.

might be a client-server desync issue, where the ship rendered on your screen is not actually where it is, or RNG being RNG then.

 

As for the Saipan dive bombers, those are very RNG reliant as well. You probably got hit by 4 or 5 bombs... which is rare.

MrDeaf how do I fix the client-server desync issue if there is one ?
