![]() I'm wondering now if my opponent was using the 457 mm guns. Cruisers are another story and I use AP more often but HE works well even with them. Yamato and Montana need to be showing a really open angle for AP to be better than HE. I have noticed that AP works well against other Conquerors and sometimes Grosse Kurfürst if I aim a bit high. If I get a really clean broadside shot I use AP. With the 419 mm shells, HE shells do as much or more direct damage than the AP shells at least 75% of the time. I’ve been experimenting with Conqueror AP, and frequently look at the Detail report to see what damage each shell type did. ![]() I shot HE almost the entire duel. We did 103k of damage to each other. We were both playing Conqueror, but I was surprised that he shot AP at me most of the time. It is fun to make fires and destroy modules, but it takes far longer to sink ships.I came up against a very well respected player in Ranked. ![]() However as you get to the higher levels, HE becomes even worse, a lot don't even bother using it for the lightly armoured ships. Thus, HE is superior against lightly armored targets that AP might overpenetrate, including destroyers and carrier decks.ĪP is superior against more well-armored targets which would resist HE shells, like cruisers, carrier hulls, and especially battleships. Thus while AP in WoT is a reliable penetrator that deals moderate damage, in Warships they either penetrate heavy armor, dealing more damage than HE, or overpenetrate light armor, dealing substantially less damage than HE. AP, however performs slightly differently as they are not purely kinetic penetrators as in WoT, but are actually fused HE shells designed to penetrate armor before detonating. ![]() So from what I understand, the situations in which HE performs well are similar to WoT, in that if a target is poorly armored, HE will hit for high damage. ![]()
