"Let's get back to our Fuso." The Fuso, who was attempting escape: **Scared 3000**

[@kwintercon7533]

At 400 Fusō games, I protest against this needless violence. I mean come on, Fusō is well protected against HE. End Fusō cruelty today ;(

[@nguyenduc6288]

PETA for Fuso :)))

[@webdigo]

KW Intercon Fuso is extremely vulnerable to fires, compared to many same tiers bb.

[@kwintercon7533]

As far as I'm concerned, all same tier BBs have the same fire chance reduction multiplier. A big advantage Fusō has over her competition however is reduction in HE damage taken. Her incremental armor scheme has an 8" casemate belt and 6" upper belt, above the 12" waterline main belt, as well as a 4" waterline end belt extending all the way to the bow. In addition the amidships weather deck is 35mm thick. This means 2/3 of Fusō's side profile is immune to cruiser HE (see the video, 8" pens 33mm and IFHE 6" 32mm) and HE does no damage to it. In fact even whole salvoes of HE from King George V have been taken on the side for zero damage. Compare this to New Mexico or Queen Elizabeth, for example. New Mexico is 25mm everywhere except the main belt and Queen Elizabeth also has 25mm decks and upper belts that will eat HE damage Fusō does not.

[@sergarlantyrell7847]

So let me get this straight... You can cause a magazine detonation if your HE shell hits the water or an island close to a ship?

[@alexmelia8873]

hypothetically, yes. you've probably got a better chance of geting struck by lightning but its still there

[@TheScania1991]

Lol Alex

[@staffsgtsarge]

I once managed to cause a magazine detonation by hiting the tip a a chikuma's mast

[@991lol7]

Yuro already did that in one of his videos. He detonated a DD without hitting him/her by splash damage of HE.

[@baronofrhodes1185]

Apparently according to Wargaming, this literally impossible feat is possible in game. No such instance of it has ever occurred, nor could it.

What do you think about today's episode? Was it useful?:)

[@vridiantoast7096]

I still think an episode on Dispersion and Sigma values would be appreciated. like for yes if you agree

[@Gotyounowpunk]

Video is lacking... You should have been more in depth instead of referring to the AP video. You didn't talk about angles of armor, which HE nullifies. You are unclear about HE explosion cube... You said it only damages the part it hits on a ship... Then later say it affects other parts it doesn't. No information about shattering weather it reduces fire chance or negates it.

[@dougchristiansen1837]

Always interesting, but I would have expected fire damage to be part of this video. Also, why do some nations HE shells not ricochet, etc? I would have like to know of the logic behind that mechanic and why it was applied to some nations but not others.

[@bleeckertb]

useful to point out you ignore real world data on explosive damage, you also ignore the fact that in WWII the US Navy had developed a new explosive that had 2 times the explosive force per unit volume as TNT which the other nations were still using

[@elham7459]

Instruction unclear, regular (1/6) 152mm HE shell didn't penetrate 25mm plating. 152mm penetration is ~25.33mm rounded to 25mm, to penetrate 25mm armor, need at least 1mm more. Mogami 155mm penetrates 25.83mm rounded to 26mm, able to damage 25mm. 203mm penetrates 33.83mm, rounded to 34mm -> damage to 33mm armor, same as in vid. But no further info. Or maybe I missed it in this vid.

Is that Iowa with SURVIVABILITY EXPERT?

[@TamrenStarshadow]

Not very intuitive is it. I never realized the whole +1mm mechanic was a thing until Cleveland got moved to T8 and I could barely hurt other Clevelands without IFHE.

[@elham7459]

Tamren Starshadow I realized that when I'm still in Budyonny, against New Mexico. Yea that US line, need IFHE and CE, that's mean need at least 14p to be effective. My build 19p without aft tho :(

[@ofi1238]

Well, that Iowa is taking IFHE so SE isn't surprising :P

[@nicholaslau3194]

They simplified it a lot, but not entirely incorrect. What you said is just the way that 152mm guns behave under this mechanic. Furthermore, they have already talked about penetration damage mechanic in the AP shell episode

[@Wadmore_Canada]

@@nicholaslau3194 no they have not. I am still waiting for the formula to know a shell's penetration after firing. They just give specific examples of Calibre/diameter of shell, sometimes divided by six but that probably varies by mass/incidence angle/velocity and nationality. Why not just tell us the formula?

[@ericpereiracarlos227]

Good Job, this game is really interesting and complexity, my first impressions is 10/10, i love this game soo much. Sorry for my simple English, i'm from Brazil. 😅

[@tomlin9539]

Great video! Didn't know HE can damage the magazines of a ship before watching this.... but still, kind of feel it is a bit weird that HE can damage the magazine without penetrating the plating.

[@dlegofan]

Something you guys should've mentioned, and that seems to cause a lot of confusion among new players: If an HE shell has the same mm of penetration than the armor it is hitting, it won't penetrate the armor, because it's not enough for the shell to match the armor it is hitting, it needs to beat that armor by at least 1mm. A great example to test this: Gearing has a 21mm plate in the middle of the ship, so if you hit that plate with a 127mm HE shell, it will always shatter (127/6=21.165, which is rounded down to 21, which is only enough to match Gearing's 21mm plate), but if you hit that same plate with a 130mm HE shell, it will penetrate (130/6=21.66, which is rounded up, thus reaching 22 and beating Gearing's 21mm plate by 1mm).

[@TheDurrans]

Tianjins design was based on the Soviet project 82, Stalingrad class NA Durrans

[@TheMouseMasterYT]

You heard it here first folks. If you want to Damage a Fuso with HE, either aim for the superstructure... or apparently, the torpedo bulge.

[@Hyeon_Gyu_Yang]

[@DarthMcLeod]

1:16. This is important. First it confirms that German CAs get the 1/4 penetration (this always seemed hazy to me) but I was surprised to find out that British BBs get 1/4 penetration as well. No wonder Conquerors spam HE...

[@space__idklmao]

Can we have an animation of the Fuso pagoda mast falling down?

[@tanyushing2494]

what if the he shells enters the citadel, does it do more dmg?

[@kwintercon7533]

It was explained in past videos shells do maximum damage on citadel hits, HE or AP, but understandably is not made that clear. HE only scores citadels on ships with external citadel plating thinner than 1/6 the incoming shell's calibre. A good example on this would be the citadel roof deck of Emerald (25mm?) which can be citadelled by heavy cruiser (203.2mm+) shells. If say a Pensacola (2800 HE max damage) landed a shell on Emerald's citadel roof it would do 2800 damage. Of course if you hit an external layer like a torpedo bulge or shot a French cruiser with the citadel inside the ship etc. your HE will never reach the citadel plating to damage it.

[@elham7459]

Max damage displayed on stats screen, in the game or anywhere. 1/6 to the entire hull and 1/6 to hit location (regular penetration). And citadel, max damage, similar to AP shells.

[@vesardi2479]

Citadel hits with HE work just like with AP. Hit to citadel inflicts the maximum damage of the shell.

[@bladeclanhalo3]

i've gotten a few citadels on close broadside cruisers with my conqueror

[@la_potat6065]

HE has a 1/6th OR 1/4th pen - if the armour is so thin you can actually penetrate the citadel - and deal the maximum dmg of the HE shell (which is usually around 1/3 that of AP shells - or 1/2 for RN BBs).

[@la_potat6065]

5:46 - IFHE on Iowa - I guess we found a skill more potato for bbs than using Survivability Expert. At least use it on a viable battleship with 1/4 HE pen such as the Monqueror - so that you can citadel any T10 cruiser citadel belt at any angle with HE (Yamato can suck it with her lolpen - cause she can't do that as her shells would bounce, without penning the bow instead)

[@colincampbell3679]

If the HE Shell hits the water not the ships hull then the damage stated is wrong! Because the water will absorb the blast and fire force, So that is very bad in game reactions to a missed water hit blast. affecting the hull even though the shell missed it.

[@lr-entertainment6232]

Could you make some Bad Advice videos again? 😊

[@DarkThomy]

Can the explosion still damage your primary canons? Can the explosion area do a critical hit ?..

[@bluerendar2194]

The lack of mention about spaced armor is concerning; if an HE shell hits anything not an integral part of the ship, like a torpedo bulge, it can't inflict damage, even with a penetration...
