It is true that when you are on full HP, you can't get detonated. That's great, I approve. It's been happening to me a bit too frequently for my comfort. However, then the patch comes out, first game out I take my Gearing for a spin, and from across the map, a Yamato spies me when I get caught in Radar. I turn, I dodge, I hit speed boost, I get detonated. The very first salvo fired at me, detonated me. So I was curious about what was going on. From what I can tell, I was hit by three shells. Shell 1: Penetration. Shell 2: Overpen. Shell 3: Detonation. Why did I detonate? Because Shell 1 and 2 took me to below 60% health. Yeah, not sure if that's a code bug, or what. Still, at least it was the 3rd shell. I'd have been so embarrassed if it has been the first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't agree with notser tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the end I was playing her once a day to farm the anti-detonation flags. I think I have 127-ish at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently it checks for every shell hit. I still mount deto flags, cause I don't trust this change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
505 [LBAS] PGM991 Member 1,561 posts Report post #7 Posted March 9, 2018 i know why, it's your bad luck rule that 100%hp ship won't detonation is true, but if you got hit with multiple shell is other story. e.g. that yamato fire 1 salvo at you 1st shell hit drop your HP below threshold 2nd shell (from same salvo) hit detonation can happen even both shell are only fraction of second apart.

WG plan has worked to get players using AP again and not so much HE lol BUT.... would be nice if they adjusted the fire chance for British BBs then, other wise no one will play them.
