53 hits driving a Bismark, one being a citadel and including fire damage, comes out to around less than 1k damage per shell which seems pretty anemic, in my opinion.....   

Well, there are a lot of variables involved here.

Take fire damage. You set 4 fires, which means some of those hits were likely with HE shells. OK - it could the case that for each of those, the target had a repaid module ready each time, hence your actual fire damage could vary between basically none to a huge amount.

You had 50 hits. Again...that is pretty good, but what were you hitting? Were vainly blasting away at a Montana, and 25 of those hits were bounces?

Even the citadel could be bad luck - I got two citadels once in one volley on a Cleveland. Sadly, it only had like 400HP left when the volley hit, so total citadel damage was....400.

I guess what I am saying is that getting hits is a necessary condition to doing damage,  but I don't look at that result as being particularly unusual. Looks like a pretty decent match to me, 73k damage is well above average I suspect. Certainly it is above my average.

You could have a very similar match with a similar number of hits. and see double that damage as well if the variables went another way.

Was a heavy BB game, so only shot BBs.  The fires were from the 83 (lol) secondary hits when I went to ram the Friedrich der Große as I was in a dead-end situation.  I guess what I was getting at was that I routinely find myself looking at the overall damage at the end of most matches and look at how many shells land and it feels frustrating.  Especially when the enemy ships land one shell here and there for 5000-7000 per shell  and I'll land 4-6 shells for 1k-3k damage.  Just wondering if you find yourself experiencing that as well.

I think you are probably experiencing pretty normal results, but of course we notice those big hits from the enemy, and don't notice when they are bouncing as well.

It sure as hell feel that way sometimes though. You work carefully to get good shots in, turn for one second to avoid an island or something, and the bad guys drop in three hits to your broadside, 2 of which pen for 4k each.

I don't think I can handle the USSR line anymore for just that reason. Finishing a math with 120 shell hits for 25,000 damage is just an exercise in frustration.

I just unlocked my first battleship, the Nassau, and in my first ever BB match I deleted 4 enemy ships, including 1 battleship, and carried my team to inevitable victory. My shoulders are made of stern German steel, apparently.

Feels good.

I suspect, just like in World of Tanks, that when you have a good match in this game, it feels really good, and when you have a bad one, it feels really, really, really fucking shitty. Fucking teammates are shitters

  I like to consider my 1 hour TK bans as an excuse to go get a sandwich.

Why aren't you playing this yet?

[CountDeMoney]

I DL'd it.  Was chugging around in a Jap destroyer, shooting bots for the training missions.

I might download this around Christmas. Prepare your anus.

Tomorrow is the next release, and it will include the German DD line.

I am sure I will give it a try, so it would be a chance to team up with some of the newer players in low tier ships if anyone is interested?

[FunkMonk]

I will try to get online when I can during this week, Berkut.

I haven't played any destroyers yet, so this ought to be interesting. 

[Berkut]

Well, *I* am going to try them out, that doesn't mean to team up we both have to be trying them.

Teams with a DD and CA work pretty well for example. DD pushes a cap, detects enemy DD, engages, and cruiser helps blow it away. Ideally.

I am just saying that I will be playing low tiers that I normally don't even have, so it would be fun to team up...
