[@RouVix]

Yeah you just put the randomness in the accuracy part instead. It is not in my hands which part of the ship I hit, regardless how well I aim. I can only increase the chance of hitting what I want.

[@Mancboy2000]

Battleships=AP at ALL times. Long reload, much higher damage and citadels with AP, HE is never worth it in a battleship. Cruisers=AP at cruisers, AP or HE at carriers and HE at battleships and destroyers. Fire HE at a carrier if you have 6" guns or smaller, alternating AP/HE is more for the 8" guns. AP at cruisers, citadels and higher damage than HE, you'll kill him faster than they kill you if they're firing HE. And HE should ALWAYS be fired at Destroyers wherever possible. Destroyers=HE at ALL times. The benefit of firing AP at other destroyers is too minute to take into account, the Japanese Destroyers also dont reload fast enough to make the change in ammo practical in battle. The Grem is the only exception to the rule, she's got cruiser levels of penetration so fire AP and cruisers.

[@Mancboy2000]

+Mancboy2000 When it comes to ranges the general rule is to fire HE at mid range (15-8 KM, dependant on tier) and AP and long (further than 15 KM) and close range (closer than 8KM). Since the range on most cruisers doesn't exceed 15 KM, HE spamming is valid at maximum cruiser range, hence why its so effective, but AP is better to switch to at 8 KM or closer. Destroyers don't have enough penetration to fire AP at any range (apart from Grem, cruiser rules apply there) And battleships reload too slowly to normally exploit any advantage from firing HE, just fire AP, even if you over match you'll do about the same damage as the HE on a full-damage hit. The gap between damage values on a battleship is just too huge.* *This is all just my experience from playing since alpha, your experience may differ, but the mechanics (based on my experience) are best exploited (in their current form) by using the tactics listed above. Good Luck and Fair Seas.

[@mbogucki1]

+Mancboy2000 I have to disagree on the AP shells on BB at all times. I get the load time blows chunks but I have seen my AP rounds just go right through a DD or light armor cruiser and do jack diddly.

[@thegreyghost5846]

Unless of course the BB is British

[@albertfu7968]

true

[@LordDivine1]

"We will also explain why damage is not determined randomly in our game"... That's fine, we all know it isn't but with how horrible accuracy is, specially on BB's, even at point blank range. Damage is 100% random, you have zero control over the humongous RNG factor that determines where shells fly when you fire.... Many of us have played WoT and War Thunder for years, we all know and can memorize where weakspots / citadels are located, but we have NO control over when we hit specific spots or not in WoWS.

[@thurbine2411]

Would rather have no automatic range and you having to guess the range and then correct your aim but guns not being as inaccurate

[@angelapolinar5343]

Imagine that, a cannon big enough for a human to fit inside and weighing several tons being hard to aim precisely. Who would've guessed? And last I checked, WT Naval doesn't have it any better.

[@pepsiandrew16]

+Faraonqa From experience, there is a massive amount of non metal components on a naval ship which will burn, and which is quite important. I was on the USS George Washington when it caught fire in the middle of an underway replenishment. We fought it for at least 8 hours and had to cut holes in the bulkheads to rescue some people. No one ended up dying.

[@nathanward122]

I just stay out of the shell game with aircraft carriers.

[@canadiangamer5462]

lol i know right

[@Skukkix23]

Its really important for cruisers to set a BBS or the cruisers on fire. Thats almost the most important task and support for the team and others BBS.

[@jonathanliu4816]

At 3:20, it’s like throwing rocks and pebbles at a battleship

[@Dar2Jee]

I really miss the different variations of these shell types. Because this topic is so much more than just simply HE or AP.

[@zuze9112]

I shoot AP with battle ship and it wont do mroe than 1000 dmg , when i use HE ships atleast burn and do more damage.

[@albertfu7968]

when I shoot AP I get about 2678 dmg

[@albertfu7968]

you can keep fireing by holding the fire button

[@williambenedictalava2634]

thanks WG for the clarifications about the proper munition usage on each ship class. cheers! can't wait for the russian tech tree to roll out.

[@SlayerMaN221]

5:05 Are You Sure About That? (Because I Have An Tier VI Queen Elizabeth BB Version That Can Penetrating Citadel With HE Shell)

[@elmarmamaril3958]

Could I just ask what is the white pinkish color shells ? I have seen like that in WOW Blitz. Thanks

[@elmarmamaril3958]

@Alicia Rue how should I be Able to Acquire them are there any ways??? Thank you very much for the info.

[@mariebcfhs9491]

lol that's why my APs are just scratching the loliships

[@Faraonqa]

Nice video 2 bad everyone spams HE because there is no reason not to. Also we need atlest 3 separate fire ext. METAL DOENST BURN !!!!!!

[@ognjenivanovic7871]

EmptySergeant but wood does

[@angelapolinar5343]

Oh metal definitely burns if you do it right.

[@Golem501]

Jingles already explained all this months ago...

[@stephenarugay1934]

i saw "Ypes of Hells"

[@Orkel2]

HE is still too strong against armored targets. HE and FIRE must be nerfed.

[@onesneakyboigaming7575]

Is it just me or am I the only one who doesnt play this game yet watches it?

[@AnteBrkic]

Why are there no pc mmo wargames for mature players?

[@ddo1114]

I want to be able to see fleets of planes in World Of Warships.It annoys me seeing one plane while there is many.
