With the battle task centering on getting manual aim kills on a coastal boat against planes, I had noticed a thing.
It seems to me recently that HE-VT shells were heavily nerfed. Previously, the only guns whose shells would consistently would explode near the enemy plane and do no damage was the US 3 inch gun, used on Akebono and couple of other ships. But eventually, for every 5 spark you’ll get one shell doing damage.
Now? Even SKR 7 is sparking like crazy, doing no damage whatsoever, not even an “hit”.
