Russian and US are pretty balanced, US AP penetrates at steeper angles than others and is therefore quite reliable in cruiser duels but they don't have flat trajectories so you need to get closer to make it work optimally.ĮDIT: I thought it wasn't possible within the game mechanics to overpen a citadel, only other areas. Germans usually have best AP and worst HE so the natural choice is reversed (with some exceptions). Usually as first salvo when not spotted yet, you can 1-hit people like that. Kronshtadt has DPM and penetration advantage. Evaluation: What it would have needed to be : Azuma needs to be able to compete with Alaska and Kronshtadt on equal footing. On at 6:42 AM, Figment said: See the side of a cruiser: use AP (EVEN AS A DESTROYER) See the front or rear of a cruiser or an angle that mostly shows this: use HE, with one possible exception, unless your shots fall directly from above anyway. Youre not going to get to use her secondaries often, which is a shame.
IJN have the least reliable AP on cruisers combined with the best HE so there are only narrow windows when swapping to AP is worth the risk. Look for opportunities to use AP, but youre probably going to be stuck with HE. It looks like you know the basics now it's just practice.Īlso be aware of nation specific issues. Unfortunately you will always have those frustrating games where you load AP and do no damage, but the only way to improve that is to keep doing it, see when it works and when it doesn't. Cruisers you can use AP quite reliably below 12km but as others have said it has more to do with angle than distance.
