Remove turret destruction already

[Tearwerk]

Yea so playing asymmetric battles and bots target destroyers torpedo launchers rendering them useless.

Torpedo boats shouldn't be tanking HE spam.

The HE has a splash radius - so not really "targeting the launchers" so much as it being a low-HP mount positioned in vulnerable positions that will get chipped down by even vaguely-near misses.

HE spam is part of the game mode - I don't think fundamental game mechanics really need to be removed just so that an innate part of one custom game mode doesn't bug you.

I assume you've got preventative maintenance and the slot 1 primary armaments module in place? If not, that would be your first port-of-call; although that won't guarantee you don't low-roll HP on a torpedo tube at the start of a match and thus get it stripped especially early on.

A lot of whats happening to you can be mitigated by proper selection of equipment and or captain skills. I also think that in your first equipment slot you have a item you can slot which will increase the sturdiness of your torpedo launchers and have them repair faster.

BUT, I will say I feel your pain as some ships ( German BB's for example) lose their torps very quickly as compared to others. I am not sure if its the location of the launchers or just they are low health. But yea, everytime I take out my Derpitz or Branden they will 100% lose their torpedo launchers before the match ends. Well, not 100%, but it happens a LOT.

Either way do what Ace said.

Yeah, I certainly get annoyed when I want to be buffing the survivability of my secondary mounts with slot 1; but that means no buff to torpedo tubes because that gets bundled with main battery.

Personally, I'd prefer BBs (maybe specific superheavy cruisers too, like Mikey, Napoli, Shroder) get different slot 1 modules so that torp survivability counts as a secondary rather than primary armament - maybe give the slot 1 module ever-so-slight improved repair time for turrets to make up for the loss of torpedo benefit.

At least with German premiums you can mount Lutjens with his improved Preventative Maintenance (which is worth slotting for Tirpitz and Branden to keep both those secondaries and torps alive longer)

They removed detonation; either give us ability to repair destroyed turrets or torpedo launchers or remove the mechanic. This is why War Thunder is the superior game compared to this dumpster fire.

If you actually believe that Warthunder Naval is better and more fun, then by all means go play that. I do not.

War Thunder also takes way more grinding and from what I've heard, the naval mode isn't nearly as fleshed out.
Also turret destruction is realistic and doesn't happen too often.

Its kind of a problem at times when playing something with very few turrets (I remember once having both front turrets destroyed when playing Richelieu) but tbh its one of the few things that shows attrition on your ship during the game. Its not unusual for ships to have the exact same speed, agility and firepower on 1hp as they had on full hp.

Aiming for Turrets or Torpedo's on ships is a Viable tactic and one which will help you win many a fight and/or force an enemy into a DCP during Randoms and Clan Battles not to mention Competitive game play! Salem\DM v Salem\DM nose in ..... the one with the better aim and can knock out turrets first tends to win! and that is not so RNG Based at close ranges!

Lost a Turret in a Ragnar during last KotS qualifiers in the 1st or second Salvo....... still won the game doing the spotting and radar work on centre cap! Yes it is painful but I think it adds some flavour, the mod which shows how much health Torps and Secondaries and AA have is Scary however! Those have weird values!!! Makes you rethink modules when building some ships knowing HE is going to be Spammed!

OP, you're either a massive Troll or brand-new to the game!! Let's just do away, TOTALLY, with ship-damage to save the fee-fees of the rapidly diminishing playerbase!! Jeez! "Steel Ocean" was never this bad!!

[Jaynoble55]

I mean, if your taking HE spam in a DD you have already made a huge error in play. Even in Asyms. Your priority should be spotting if you do not have a CV and then some torpedo work from concealment. Either way, if I, an average player can go whole battles without getting HE spammed in a gunboat like Harugumo or Elbing then you can too. Positioning is key. And not having bad team mates.

Doesn't matter, i removed the game from Steam and will write negative review of it.

I trust your review will acknowledge the fact that your beliefs about the game come from a position of ignorance?
For example thinking the (laughably bad at the game) WG bots were deliberately sniping your torpedo mounts from your ships?

Because "I hate getting damaged by easy mode bots in one of the hardest to lose battle types in the game; so I think I should be immune to some the consequences of eating damage" isn't going to be quite as scathing as you think it is.

Shame you didnt wait a few days @OP since the three year anniversary of your first post about the game is on 7th January. You were complaining then as well.

Oh well, bye!
