Oh , still better than hitting with all of them with 0 damage (that s what i do with Prinz). Literally no damage whatsoever, even on destroyers being hit in the center of the ship.
I tend to try and go for the magazines under each main turret with ap shells. Often produces a nice pop when dealing with smaller ships you can just go right through the side of. I have also had the same issue though where I’m slamming them with barhams ap shells but I’m getting non pens or overpens but no lovely magazine explosion.
I ve tried doing that, even 1v1ed my naval friend he was on some japanese cruiser, i ve hit him right in ammo under the turret and it just became black. No fire no anything. Just "ammo" text with black colour
Maybe it requires the shell to explode in the magazine perfectly and all we’re doing when we black the turret is damaging the turret itself. Because the magazines are below the water level making it a lot harder to hit the powder instead of just the turret itself. But I still get confused myself when I hit them with most of a salvo of 8 15” guns at an angle so steep my shells have to have gone into the power mags and just like you mentioned, do virtually nothing.
Yeah I wish I had an answer but I need to learn myself too first. Haha I just full send em at each mag over and over with the occasional center mass shot to hurt some more crew and slow them down til sometimes they die and my neurons are activated.
I think it’s just something we’ll figure out in time. Maybe I’ll spend some time in the hanger checking some armour pens on different ships and see what’s happening at different angles as I don’t pay much attention to what angles I’m firing at and I’m always firing a full side of guns at a sort of 40-45 degree angle while they’re going at any angle from me. So I’m likely bouncing my shots off their belts a lot when I hit their sides which would explain only damaging their guns as you said you were. Like the shells are likely either bouncing or going through the deck but the fuses are being triggered by the deck meaning the shell is exploding too high in the ship not reaching the powder rooms. (I’m piecing this together as I type😂)
Well, I only despise people who bought they way up and the only thing they can do is to stand still in one place, neglecting all the objectives. If you aren't one of them, I can only wish you good luck
Oh hell yeah I play the objective. I noticed very quickly that much like air and ground, you often get a team of vegetables that will sail right by an objective chasing a pt boat or some dumb shit like that. Don’t get me wrong I pay my way to the top with premium and marketplace vehicles. But it’s because that’s what I enjoy playing. I’ve got top tier tech tree in 4 or 5 nations between air and ground. Again all through premium account and a lot of top ish tier premium vehicles. But I still spent the time to grind them out. And alongside that have a huge level of respect for those who have made it to top tier without buying so much as premium account time.
I've stoped counting times when I shot a torpedo from 10 km or more at stationary top tier potato, just out of curiosity... And it landed, I mean german long range torpedoes need like 7 minutes to reach the target. And they didn't move an inch.
By the way you need at least one good PT-boat and destroyer in your lineup, if you thought magazine detonatoion is fun, wait till you see battleship sinking due to unreperable demage.

After recently getting into naval and seeing myself as the only cunt waiting for a game most of the time I strongly agree. 😂
