clancy688 | WoWs - Post-Patch 5.1 armor test, trying to citadel Myokos with Iowa @clancy688 | Uploaded 8 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
So...
...after the current patch 5.1, BB AP vs cruisers seemed broken. After lots of games I had a theory and decided to try it out in the training room. And I think I have proven it:
- At first I go broadside to Myokos ranging from 2-6 km. Apart from a few lucky hits, I only get overpenetrations - I basically can't get any good damage rolls on them!
- The I open the range and start shooting at Myokos at 8 klicks - here I get citadels the first time, but still not very reliable
- From 10 klicks onwards, I seem to get citadels fairly consistently
- Next I drive around the Myokos so that they are angled towards me. And suddenly, I'm doing damage again. Not necessarily citadels, but still good penetrations and good damage rolls.
Conclusion: If a cruiser closes in on you in your BB, and it only shows you its broadside, switch to AP.With AP, you're only doing overpens and bounces.
