Things like this happen in a lot of the RN BB tiers, HE is very comfortable, easy to use, reliable damage, and you land fires. Any other BB from any other BB Line would have had AP slotted and would wreck Montana like that. Instead, Montana took a few HE shells and fires, put the fires out after Conqueror died, and repaired the damage back. He could have had AP slotted and absolutely wreck Montana showing that much side at this range. This Conqueror player was doing very well, said he had around 251k damage. Almost every Conqueror player doesn't know what AP shells are. I knew Conqueror would have HE slotted instead of AP. I was at full HP so it was my turn to take some hits. I elected to do this because our Fletcher would risk getting 1-shotted at that range, and our Moskva, who had been key in taking Cap C, had taken a torpedo hit. In the above picture, I took my Republique around that island corner, knowing a Conqueror was sitting there waiting to shoot at something. It's very easy to fall for the temptation of HE because it's simple, but when you do that, you leave YOOGE AP opportunities to punish people. There's some pretty good AP for particular scenarios, but the typical temptation is just to keep HE slotted instead of having AP at the right time to punish someone. This magnifies a lot when you get to Tier IX-X in the line. Bad in that you're relying on fires to pad your stats and not meaningful damage, as fires can all be healed back. Good in padding stats when putting fires on Battleships. Which is both very good and very bad at the same time. A few have high Fire Chance like Orion, Iron Duke, Lion, Conqueror.
