The result is that this part of the ship receives half the typical damage after several hits. I'm having difficulty parsing this. Normal DDs can damage-saturate their bow and strern but not the midsection, but French DDs can also saturate their midsection. Is that what this means?

680 [SALT] humusz Member 2,019 posts 10,542 battles Report post #3 Posted July 28, 2019 Being Saturated mean they only take half Penetration damage (0.165 instead of 0.33). making They are more resistant than their Hitpoint indicate Fully Saturated section took 0 damage, but AFAIK - hull still took damage unlike bow or stern Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My sides were saturated enough by the enemy DD prior to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,573 [TLS] dejiko_nyo Member 3,937 posts 19,996 battles Report post #7 Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) Can we make it so that hull saturation means less/no damage but a very high chance of a drakonation? It is stupid that section HP gone but ship still floating. PS: I particularly mean the core citadel/engine sections as opposed to bow/stern/superstructure.
