Fire in turret/barbette had been always a great threat irl even when flash-tight doors securely closed as regulated. If there’s no chance that a fire can spread along the elevators, there’s no need to flood the magazine after turrets getting hit as what happened on Bismarck, Scharnhorst, Kirishima, etc.
There should be a way to simulate the fire spread along the ammo elevator, when the player doesn’t treat it properly.
Im sorry, if im reading this right, is this a massive nerf to american BBs? Gaijin still rules that shell rooms are ‘explosive’ and are always present in later capitals barbettes. Did Gaijin just make Standards and Alaskas barbettes even more of a instea death for American players?!
Id need to be back from work to test, but please someone tell me im wrong!
Played a few battles today, didn’t feel any major difference to the survivability of US battleships. Plus the patch note specifically mentioned:
some the ammo storage is separated from each other by thick armor, others can lack such armor or not have such thick armor, which can cause the explosions effect to drastically differ from one vessel to another
Fix these maybe?
Harrier (All Variants) Missing AOA and nose pointing ability // Gaijin.net // Issues
Harrier VIFF Turn rate to low // Gaijin.net // Issues
First Gen Harrier STR is underperforming // Gaijin.net // Issues
The Sea Harrier HUDS are still completely wrong.
Ah, i dont think thats something that the armor view can show. Still, barbette hits now having more consequences is a decent direction so im interested how this shakes naval RB.
Again why aren’t all the meme store items on Xbox?
Also, this “Xbox insider” you mentioned before is no where to be found.
I haven’t had the time to test it out yet, so this is purely hypothetical, but shouldn’t this be a pretty massive nerf to Tennessee since the powder handling rooms under the barbettes are part of the magazine dm? Especially with the explosion damage now scaling with ammo in the module, I would imagine the 250+ shells normally still in the barbette by the time they detonate would make for a larger explosion than had previously been the case.
To see how well the new fire mechanic works:
it doesnt even leave you time to extinguish it
so, i was working on a User skin for the Italian ships and just noticed that on this latest update Gaijin changed something related to the weathering/camo condition of the ships and now even with me changing the alpha channel i can’t remove weathering from the camo, anyone have any idea on what is going on there?
