Idk, some ships seem to be bullet sponges. They just dont sink, nor light up like this CA. At the end it had all four turrets offed with fires inside all its ammo elevators. Nothing happened. I kept pounding it for some time. It finally lost buoancy and capsized. Unfortnatly a player NPC cruiser got the kill at the end with an 130mm HE shell^^ Despite I shot it for minutes with some spectacular secondary explosions.
Some others however, detonate rather quickly. After this I opened fire on a BB, which detonated almost immeadetly. Its somehow…strange. Not consistant.
For players ship, some players will start damage control, firing pullout and removing waters in the same time, then new fire spreading mechanism cause damage on their mags. But it still depends on where u hit ,and which part u just cause damaged. For AI ships, they seem like hard to explosion by just lighting them, maybe Gaijin set them like this.
Interesting thought. When I remember the last matches, I think it were Bot player ships which are like unsinkable (you know what I mean) and hardly ever detonate.
