For some reason when you get hit in the Gneisenau and your turret gets lit on fire you explode in less than 2 seconds pretty sure its a bug. Is anyone else having this issue because you cant even save the Gneisenau from turret fires it just blows up 2 seconds after the fire has been lit its definitely not normal.
if the fire is set close to sthe ammo it will explode faster. Also if the elevator is short it can accelerate the process.
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau have very short ammo lifts which means fires propergate down the lifts far faster than most other ships. But all ships are equally vulnerable to fires in that area, just you have more time to react to threat.
With how impenatrable the armour is on both ships. Them having a weakness is essential
Tbh it seems all ships have this right now if you hit any ship in the turret in the dev server and cause a fire in the elevator or just the turret they explode shortly after. I also checked with the gaijin issues team if it was a bug just to be sure and it was not a bug so yeah i dont know seems a turret fire is the new way to destroy any ship now if you want to get a ammo rack a few seconds after lighting a fire.
Yes, and it is the same for ships on live too. Why Scharnhorst is so vulnerable though is that her lifts are some of the shortest. Meaning the time it takes from the fire to propergate from the top to the bottom is the shortest
just seems excessive lol for all the ships tho but i guess you have to balance them somehow
