Never bow in to dive bombers. That's the worst possible thing to do against DBs. Bow in to TBs, show side to DBs. Also KM BBs are weak vs DBs, not every BB. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

9 [ANZMC] Dire_Venom Member 112 posts 2,646 battles Report post #7 Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Huh thats odd, they are only suposed to be a counter to slow, bow on gameplay, If your doing a full turn at speed most of them should have missed -_- Will everyone have to fully spec for AA now and go on a hate crusade vs CV's??? HE bombs are midly effective vs DDs, but hard to hit. AP bombs should be the same vs BB's, making them able to oneshot a BB is pretty ridiculous, no other ship could one-shot a BB like that (except ramming, or 1km torps). I've also heard that the Germans armour layout makes them particualy vunrable to these bombs, but considering they are meant to be a brawling BB line this significantly de-values them. This will onyl encourage long range sniping, try to push in a BB (especialy German which are built around pushing) and expect to recive 6x citiadal hits from the air -_- Edited July 7, 2017 by Dire_Venom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How would that encourage long range sniping when AP bomb is effective regardless of where you position? Edited July 7, 2017 by 9mm1n Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How would that encourage long range sniping when AP bomb is effective regardless of where you position? Probably he meant that CVs will be more interested on ships nearby caps than the ones far back. But I think this event is insignificant in the grand picture. A Shokaku can kill a full HP Bismarck in one go. I don't see the problem. Specially when OP made it easier by staying bow in to DBs.

127 [1-ATF] MyNameBiku Beta Tester 908 posts 4,732 battles Report post #15 Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Well, have enough support to deter your enemies from choosing you as the target. Doesn't change the fact that 70k damage from 9 bomb strikes is definitely too big a number, so WG definitely has to reconsider. Edit: I look at the screenies @Onlinegamer sent. The numbers in there are pretty reasonable given how CV has a much longer reload time. Basically, AP bombs vs BB AP = no counter vs DPM Edited July 7, 2017 by FishyPower Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

164 [POI] Darkworld_2015 Member 970 posts 10,812 battles Report post #23 Posted July 7, 2017 Less brawling BB, more camping BB as enterprise make players less likely to bring in Bismarck/Tirpitz? :P Well, it actually affects me when I first heard the introduction of AP bombs in CV. I put more time and effort on Montana instead of GK, though I personally love GK more for her capability of pushing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
