Why the detonation mechanic still exists in WoWs I have no idea.

"Fun and engaging"

"Equate player skill"

And of course "historically accurate"

The second one is impossible too unless it is via detonation, in which case the issue lies with the detonation mechanic, not with CVs.

@Paladinum 's Histrically Accurate and @dejiko_nyo 's HMS Hood = ✔️

 

Our weapons have improved technologically, but we still use the same basic principle since its introduction in the 9th century.

A primer / fuse, A powdered propellant, and the Projectile (Bullet / Shell) and / or Warhead (Rocket / Missile).

Unless we can do away with the powdered propellant, there is no way to prevent catastrophic detonation.

 

There are currently only 2 weapons I can think of that will cause minimal damage to a ship if their weapon explodes. (Compartment damage or Area Damage. But the ship will not explode into a mushroom cloud of doom)

Rail Gun - Uses electro magnet(s) to propell the projectile. The battery is the danger. If damaged, it will explode but not enough to sink your ship.

Air Cannon - Uses compressed air to propell the projectile. The air tank is the  danger. If damaged, it will explode but not enough to sink your ship. It will cause fire though. (One of the 3 ingredients to start a fire)

yeah... no

 

theree are only 2 things can result in a oneshot on a DD at the start of the game

 

either you ate more than 2 full drops from a CV's TBs, which is your own problem, it's really not hard to dodge torps (most of the time) in a DD unless you're playing something that is slow as molasses and turns like a truck, and the only DD that fits that description that comes to mind is Friesland, and that thing has AA that can melt even audacious planes. 

or you detonated, which is more RNG giving you the middle finger and your own fault for not mounting detoflags on a DD

Not like a CV player has spread lies and misinformation have they? 

 

Wonder why it keeps coming up? Hmmm

haven't we already asserted months ago that you were the one with a habit of lying and twisting half-truths to your advantage? if you want to talk about hypocrisy I can still dig up that old post...

 

the reason DDs keep complaining about CVs is they don't know how to play against them, there are no good publicly available guides from them and WG makes no attempt to teach them how to counter CVs, the only "good" ones I would recommend are limited to NA forum posts and very few youtube videos, none of which your average pleb has easy access or the willingness to go search for.

CV players 1 minute: "DD is fine, JuSTdoDgE"

CV players next minute:"why cant DD have Kremlin level of AA?". "I was just out making DD life miserable", "If i want to kill a DD then I will, nothing DD can do about it".

You mean that level of dishonesty?

Hypocrisy level 1000...............

i think that DDs are fine against rockets since in the time it takes to whittle one down the other CV has had much more of an impact on the game, one other person here dosnt(yes i know who it is you are refering to), and while i dont think he is correct, i can see where he's coming from. but then again, dont try to twist whatever we say when you dont even know what you are talking about

so that you can go get your ass kicked by them fishing divs, then run crying to find a AA div to fish them back?

Oh please. I would rather be literally one-shot and play another ship than being annoyed the entire match and have my ship's HP being chipped away slowly. Leave that to the HE spammers and RN CLs.

Reworked CVs? I have never seen so many trashy features come together in one place.

Only the reworked AA mechanic matters, actual CV gameplay? LOL

[dieselhead]

Drakon you just assume Im a liar and twist half truths. Thats just your perspective vs mine. No different to you saying just now you think DD's are fine against rockets since the other CV has done more dmg. How does that help the DD you just shit on?

How to play against CV in a DD? In the words of a CV player or 2, "just dodge" wasnt it?

CV caused detonations are up since recently, mostly from torpedoes for some reason in my experience. Mind you I havent had one for a while so it may have been a bug.

BTW, next time youre in Australia you should look me up, come tell me Im a liar etc to my face. I enjoy that kind of thing hahaha.

i kinda like the new CV system, even in surface ship

back then to counter CVs it was easy, spec full AA and press turn on DFAA in a AA ship, boom you are immune to CVs, you can literally counter the most skilled unicum in the game with a single press of a button 

now it's much harder for them to kill you in a CV, surface players don't have option of a one-click skill button and you need to learn the game mechanics to counterplay them

 

honestly, this is one of the few times I've seen a dev trying to balance 2 sides of a coin by making them equally unhappy. CV players hate how much control they lost compared the RTS playstyle and surface players complain because they need to play around CVs now instead of picking between being able to full counter or to just accept their fate and getting straight-up killed. while im also kinda sad to see my full AA wooster and mino go i think that this is a good change in pace for the game from a pure gameplay balancing perspective

i dont "assume",  how many times have you pull out actual proof to back up what you say? in that last post where you actually tried to headbutt me did you not get shamed in front of the whole damn forum for lying? 

also "fight me IRL bro" is literally the online version of a white flag in an argument, although to be fair resorting to physical violence is exactly what i would assume a character would do...

Trouble is, its a CV more often than every battle. You barely get a break from being perma spotted in a BB. At least you rarely had a CV before and they could just fight each other. Sometimes you won sometimes you lost. 

At least DFAA did something back then, now its a waste of a slot in most cases. Also why did all the good AA ships pre rework become mediocre AA ships now? Oh and surprise surprise the Groz has OP AA now?

A good change in pace? How is it balanced? CV to CV maybe. CV to surface ship its massively one sided. The CV can attack you while you do what? Try DFAA? Bunch up behind an island with everyone else? CV's just turned into seagulls scabbing kills off players that actually earnt them.

reminds me of the time that he said something along the lines of "MY country" , when i reposted it to discord one of my malaysian friends was scared shitless at the though that they share the same nationality, we still haven't stopped teasing him about it 

[mr_glitchy_R]

It's so funny seeing newbies complains so much things they don't know yet XD

[Paladinum]

Don't even think I'm good in CVs ever. In the RTS CVs era I was only at most a potato. But I enjoy how they play. And reworked CVs, I don't at all. It felt extremely tedious having to manually control just one squadron and having to control them to a tee. RTS CV control was much simpler, and yet requires training and skills. CVs are a different genre of warships, and reworked CVs play almost like a BB, cruiser or DD.

Why would I play with such tediousness while I can play the game more enjoyably with other ship types?

 

Not to mention the many repercussions that come with completely changing the gameplay of a ship type, most notably for players vs AI modes. Look at all the Operations that haven't come back. What do they all have in common?

I am very sure Paladinum and Dejiko were just joking around.

But in case you were being serious, it is very weird for WG to keep that part of realism in a game where repair teams can magically put out fires instantly with the snap of their fingers, and ships can take dozens of damaging hits while suffering no loss to its fighting ability, but somehow spontaneously combusts the moment some arbitrary HP number hits 0. Detonations adds 0 gameplay while just increasing frustration.

That is up to personal preference.  A lot of people were cheering the CV rework simply because it meant they wouldn't be cross-dropped and one-shot anymore.

besides, i don't survive long enough for the CV to get repeated strikes on me so IDC
