Open question:
How come (seemingly) almost undamaged ammo fully detonates after mere seconds of being on fire, with no visible gradual increase of “damagedness”?
This footage is with ammo wetting and about 2/3rds ammo load. It is also not a one-time occurrence.
No damaging hits were taken between these two screenshots.
Does anyone else experience it? I play Britain and hence can’t give testimony for other nations as of now, except that it seems like the Izmail seems to refuse to have its ammo elevators catch fire (remedied by simply shooting forward and aft turrets instead as their ammo is above the waterline).
Better yet, what causes this? Wasn’t fire damage to ammo toned down a couple updates back, or am I going insane?
Bonus question: How come that explosion there was considered a “fatal detonation”, when I’ve seen german battleships have three full magazines want to use their respective turret as a projectile and simply continue on as if nothing happened?
Any good explanation is greatly appreciated, and if it’s just another gaijin moment it wouldn’t surprise me.
