When to use ap vs he world of warships8/25/2023 ![]() unless I know I'm hunting a DD and no chances of another target of opportunity shows up. In CA its mostly been HE for me but Im unsure when to use AP outside. In BBs you almost always use AP and in DDs its almost always HE. Fire AP Shells at just about any type of ship, exposing their full broadside at close range. Causing Fire to enemy warships will deal the most damage over a few seconds. But now that Im at T9 with the ibuki I kind of have a question about AP vs HE. However, if the situation calls for it, Destroyers can deal the most damage over time with HE Shells. It takes 30 seconds to do this, so youll want to make the swap now instead of during combat. I use AP exclusively.Įven with the destroyer over penetrations it takes so long to switch out ammo that is why I don't switch. I mostly play BBs and CV but Ive been grinding up IJN CA cause I want to get the RB. Once youre under way, switch your ammo to AP. Results are truly impressive if timed just right. I would keep AP loaded most of the time as youre learning so you dont worry about switching back and forth. HE is used mostly when a target is well angled to you, this ensures that your rounds will do damage. They will deal the most damage to most targets, especially when they are broadside to you. ![]() For the most part this happens when the enemy ship shows too much "Side" and you get a perpendicular shot to the enemy ship right at the water line. Generally you want to use AP against ships showing their side (broadside) to you, and HE against BB/ships running from you or heading at you nose in. The Majority of the time you want to use AP rounds. 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. Looking mainly for citadel hits.Ĭitadel hits are when your shot pierces the armor of an enemy vessel and hit the vital organs of the ship. ![]() If a destroyer is angled or in line with you the shell has farther to travel through the ship before it exits and will have less chance to over penetrate and cause major damage.īasically HE causes fires - damage over timeīasically AP causes extreme burst dps under certain circumstances. Now if a ship has lower armor you have a greater chance of "over penetrating" for example if a Battleship shoots a destroyer broadside, the AP rounds will have a high chance for them to just pass clean through the ship and cause little damage.

I will run AP rounds usually.ĪP rounds as mentioned above, if able to penetrate can cause instant ship deletions with citadel hits as described above. I'm in a battleship or cruiser with big guns. If I have a big guns on my ship and can penetrate most armors I.E. It is very situational and personal preference plays a role.
