10 30cmtruedamage Member 176 posts 4,489 battles Report post #1 Posted August 7, 2018 I am at tier 8 Amagi and sometimes this starts to be ridiculous, 70% of all shots with AP is overpen, regardless of which angle, where or what ship we aim at.Damage mechanics are totally broken, and Battleships are starting to become unplayable some times. Typical shoot&pray style. Any inputs guys ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put your mouse and keyboard at the top of the bonfire. Light fire. Dispatch goat while chanting to RNGesus. Howl. Dance around fire while chanting to RNGesus. Repeat every month and all your overpens will become citadels. And you can fashion your shrine to the Rolling Stones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

View ship armor models in your port. Take some time cause there are so many of them. You can easily tell where you were shooting. If you shoot broadside but mostly overpen, you need to aim a bit lower. Try this in training room or coop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
