Tirpitz and Bismarck would get blown out of the water like Bismarck already does in Warthunder.
again 75 % sure the fire detonating magazines is a bug
Maybe. The frontal protector plate behind the bow plates is also paper thin which probably isn’t correct.
also fire magically gets through the bulk heads and i still havent figured out how
im not the only one who sees the bulk head that protects the magazine
Your guess is as good as mine.
and also that bulk head that protects the magazine is under the turtle back which means if you cant pen the turtle back you wont damage it meaning its a 100% integrity all the time
Look, I’m super drunk right now because new years, happy new year
Turtleback’s main issue is it meant citadel was mostly neutral buoyancy with the ship and any flooding would mean the ship would have to be extra buoyant to counteract that extra water.
I agree Bismarck shouldn’t be a firebomb but it should be prone to flooding.
it is relatively just like scarnhorst
im bug reporting this well see how it goes
heres the bug report for bismarcks barbettes
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/i1YDBULsV4ho
wow they killed naval im done basically said screw you make a suggestion even though its there fault for not modeling the ship properly
naval deserves to just die off at this point
"Not a bug.
If you have a suggestion for improving game mechanics regarding barbette fires, you can do that here: Suggestions - War Thunder — official forum"
Spoiler
Bismarck is nerfed by her barbettes there is a bulkhead that protects the magazine from fire damage and should not allow it to be damaged via fire in the barbette as it seals the magazine room and it cant be damaged via external sources due to it being protected by the turtle back. her fire damage issue prevents her from being able to compete with south Dakota or Iowa and some ships even lower br can exploit this to kill her its a unfair mechanic that makes no sense as no one else has this problem
and the less shell mechanic allowing you to survive shell room detonations only nerfed her and made everyone else more survivable as she is the only ship that cant benefit from this mechanic
also cordite is only vulnerable to the MOST EXTREME OF FLASHES

its shown in this photo above unless you pen the turtle back you cant damage this wall enough to destroy it allowing fire to pass through so she should be able to withstand more fire than she does now her flash wall should save her from fires
also the ships schematics show this you can find it under the turtle back on the magazine deck

I know Naval is dead. It fell prey to grinding bots and russian favoritism.
But can someone report the Lutjens destroyer from last patch? It just got one Rim starter and two slow firing single barrel guns. Where are its Rh 20mm autocannons? Cause a ship with absolutely no secondary is a bit^^ meh…expecially at this BR. Also: Does it even have the upgraded mod10 guns? Cause it doesn’t seem to have autoloading ones. It has the firepower of a reserve DD imho.

2x 30-40rpm sounds pretty fast to me
it’s better configured than the Addams (ammo is deeper in the hull).
The damn thing can devour crew off other DDs and even some CLs if it can land hits.
Agreed, but not if you compare it to my fav Koln/Lubeck.
Edit: But these 2x 20mm RH should have been added.
to be fair america is also getting favoritism aswell as they havent had any artficial nerfs on the IOWA or SOUTH DAKOTA and there only claim to fame of having one is the 14inch gun having a 40 second reload while other nations still have worse boats at same br as these “bad” 14 inch gun boats
I just stopped playing that BR range. Bismarck still unspaded. Let Gajins Favs duke it out. All others were pushed out. Bis is still detonating when hit into turret or barbette. Unplayable, as it used to be at its release.
Its just strange, that they are that stubborn. I play quite a few WW2 MMOs, WT is the only one without balancing. How do they think it even works out @ live? One category of ships light up when you just touch them, the other ones last until crew runs out…which takes long time?! Its that broken that I just can’t click on that “play” button.
Rh 202 was not with her start of life. It was at later part of her life with modernization that changed RIM-24 tartar to SM-1. So well, when sister ship added.
