Yeah, the 8 days I have in cruisers in arcade is deffo only playing “PT boats.” I stopped played bluewater because of the patch, and moved to just doing coastal NRB for the events and when I need more lions. I long ago spaded the German BB line before even the Bayern and Scharnhorst came out.
And yes, I have done that in NAB. It takes skill and knowing the leads of your guns, but it was totally doable, and me and the friends I played with in BBs did it regularly. Hell, one time I had a match where, three times in a row, I ammo det’d the same player, twice in a Fuso, once in a Hyuga, using my SMS Kaiser on first salvo. Good times that I sorely miss now with the current playing system.
Point is, no, under the old NAB aiming it was more that doable, but it WAS more difficult than it is now. Now, all aiming is just point and click. No skill, no training, no learning, nothing.
Hyuga’s armor scheme is astronomically terrible that it being ammo detonated on the first salvo doesn’t surprise me.
Fusou it tends to be a gamble of ‘I will take several minutes of constant bullying to bring down’ or just instantly implodes. At least in my experience; the armor scheme is an enigma to me.
Old NAB rarely - if ever - allowed even 15km engagements, spawns were way too close.
Current NAB can allow 20km engagements but again; rare. 14km is a bit of the norm at high tier.
The parabolic arc changes with (leviathans? I don’t remember anymore) also changed how shells work, along with armor degradation also being almost complete removed (now only affects turrets as far as I know)
Hyuuga in general is quite the meme its basically the Ise but just like “what would happen if u immediately sink if your front 2 turrets get ammoracked”.
Ive found that the Fuso is a bit of a weird one, especially when its at the point where it sinks (acts as if its still floating even though its supposed to sink). The main thing i go for with them is basically front 2 turrets and then back 2 turrets that usually kills them fast enough.
Yeah sometimes theres some weird moments ive already somehow managed to instantly One shot a Fuso from full Crew before not sure how exactly the shots mustve landed all i remember is that it was going head on and was quite far away (like 15km) or something
A reminder that we are 3 major update past and the automatic breach repair on the legacy damage control mode still hasn’t been fixed, heck the bug reporting mods and whichever devs they spoke to don’t even acknowledge it as a bug because of a probable misunderstanding. And now they shut down any further reports on it based on that earlier misunderstanding.
It does suffer the same weakspots but its much harder to kill because not only is the weakspot a bit smaller but its also more protected than it is on the Bismarck.
The reason why it feels like that probably is because the barbette armor below deck on the bismarck is only like 220mm whilst its just all around 360 for the gneisenau and scharnhorst
