![]() A ship's citadel tends to be the most heavily protected part of the ship. Ok, so, hit the citadel for massive damage. Hitting a flimsy cruiser like an Omaha in the citadel at close-ish range will just mean your shell goes in one end and yolo's out the other before detonating, causing only 10% overpen damage. For example, Roma has notoriously fast AP shells, with normal fuse timing. Yes, you can overpen a citadel and do reduced damage, if your shell is fast enough and your target flimsy enough. Only if your AP shell detonates inside the citadel. So hitting a citadel with AP always does increased damage? It takes a third of the hits - thus time - to kill a ship through citadel hits than it does through normal penetrations. That's why you should care about citadels. In short, a citadel hit does three times the damage of a normal penetrating hit and ten times the damage of an overpen. This is a normal pen.Ī shell that goes in one side of the ship, then into the citadel and detonates, does 100% damage. This is an overpen.Ī shell that goes in one side of the ship and then detonates does 33% damage. In short, magazines and citadels are two related but separate entities.Ī shell that goes in one side of the ship and flies out the other without detonating does 10% damage. Many ships keep their magazines inside their citadel, especially bigger ships at higher tiers, but a great many ships have their magazines outside the citadel and thus can be detonated without getting hit in the citadel.Īlso, magazines are much smaller than citadels, so even if a ship keeps its magazines in its citadel, hitting the citadel doesn't automatically mean a magazine hit. What about magazines? Is any magazine hit automatically a citadel hit, or vice versa? ![]() You can get hit in a barbette without getting citadeled. The citadel extends to include the barbettes lengthwise, but the barbettes project above the citadel and are not part of the citadel. ![]() Barbettes are the round, armored structures that house a turret's ammo hoists, machinery, etc. This is where all the vital machinery is kept that keeps the ship functioning. As you can see, it stretches from #1 barbette all through the length of the ship to just aft of the #3 barbette. In short, a citadel is where a ship keeps its vital organs. ![]()
