form of the 'overmatching' mechanism. For WoT such a
mechanism would mean that 'special' ammo would be usefull against
heavily armored vehicles but it would be (much) less
useful against lightly armored vehicles to the point where
there will be no damage whatsoever. That way it would force people
to actively choose the appropriate ammo for the tank in front of
them instead of going 'lazy' ( or 'skill' ) mode and just 'dab
the 2 key' at the start of the battle.HeatResistantBFG:
The overmatch mechanic is for Calibre of AP shells vs Thickness of armour and is also in WoT, although different. To match either mechanic with how you're suggesting it would need premium rounds to suddenly become huge. Example, to overmatch a Maus upper plate in WoT's Mechanic you would need the shell to be at least 781mm (More than, 3x260mm = 780) and with Warships it would have to be at least 3719mm (More than, 14.3x260mm=3718). So i'm not sure that the Warships overmatching system solves or changes anything in the way you think. Especially as it overmatches everything of that armour and below, which in practice is mostly the less armoured ships in the game and therefore is the complete opposite to your latter part.

similar to standard ammo. But damage should be significantly lower.
Like %50. Maybe overall armor nerfs for most tanks. (And yes. Nerf
premiums too if needed.)HeatResistantBFG: We are always looking for ways to improve things, the
sandbox server has been the testing grounds for some of these
methods and will continue to showcase and test new methods. As well
as balancing the in battle performance of rounds we have to ensure
the games economy doesn't become unbalanced. So it is a fine line
to tread.
