That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Originally posted by Reaper King:No you do not use he with odin or schranhorst. If i had been using AP i would've had a similar fate as the bismarck In the end i did like 20K damage with secondaries, some 15K with main guns and the rest was from fire. i killed him (he was at full HP) and i only lost some 10K of my own HP because all his shots bouned or overpenned. Sure i only did like 15K damage with my main battery, but guess what. He was running from me and i was chasing him at full steam about 10 km away, he only used AP and i only used HE the whole time. Example: other day in ranked i was brawling it out with a bismarck. but when you add in a few extra fires with your main guns you will easily burn people for half their hp in a minute. your secondaries alone don't start many fires and usually the enemy can keep it under control with DCP. But that's not even the main reason why HE isnt bad on them, it's cause of your secondaries. I' rather get 1100 or so damage than 0 any day. WRONG WRONG WRONG, sure their HE isnt great but a pen with HE will almost always do more damage than an overpen with AP, and that's considering you are even getting overpens, cause 90% of the time you shoot against BBs when they are angled (they almost always are because people arent stupid) you just get bounces which is 0 damage. Yes Scharnhorts and odin have weak ap but their HE is is so bad that ap overpenn do more damage.If you get into combat with one of those two ships fire ap and then only focus on hitting weakpoints.

World of warships when to use he vs ap
