So basically it has come to my attention that there are many misconceptions in the game, and some things that people are not sure about

if there is something that you are not sure about, post it here, and I will endevour to get an official reply. I will start the post with a few that I have noticed

1) AP kills more sailors per shell

Absolutely false. AP does a different type of damage, and kills on average same number as HE per shell. 

2) AAW stat does nothing

Not true anymore. Devs have partially re activated the stat, and are continuing to improve it. (many people thought there was a t5 scout ninja nerf, which there was not)

3) Max number of Vets per sailor

is currently 40%, and as you approach that limit, it gets harder and harder to get it. I think the record number of epxerts burned to get 10 vets is something like 16k (was on old forums)
Sailor Info this page is useful to explaining vet conversion, and max number of crewmembers on a sailor :)

If you have any questions that you wish to be put to the test, just ask, and I will see If I can get some answers :)...

Well, you have failed to understand part of the reasoning of point 1.

Sailor death is random. Shooting AP at unarmored ships causes LESS damage, which requires more shells to kill the ship. Therefore, more shells means more chance of sailor death. So welcome to how AP causes more sailor death. Do your research properly next time and understand ALL areas of the topic please.

NB: It is worth noting that firing at AWed ships, HE could be said to provide the same effect as even bounces can contribute to sailor death.


You are off to a good start. Perhaps Myth number 3 should be that this should have been undertaken by someone with more experience consulting with the community.

how nice of you to have such a positive attitude. It was just in reference to the shouts at the end of a battle to fire AP at cvs, as it kills more sailors per shell. not true. So can you please make a constructive comment rather than a snide remark.

You should probably correct the last sentence for #1. It isn't based on shell caliber. At least, as far as I know being in the game for several years.

And, you should probably word it to say "It is false that AP kills more sailors on average". That is the true thing. If you fire 10 salvos of HE and 10 salvos of AP, there is a random factor in there...but you will lose the same amount of sailors over those 10 salvos each. However, when firing at unarmored ships, AP would need more salvos to kill the ship...so, technically, it may kill more sailors since it is more salvos. It may take 4 AP salvos to kill a CV instead of 2 HE, so twice as many chances to lose sailors.

I appreciate the effort, and think this thread has a lot of potential, but it will require facts. After all, the goal is to kill the permeating misconceptions.

my mistake about shell calibre; I have been falsely informed then. currently trying to get some info on aircraft stats. will post tomorrow with answers, corrected about the killing rates, so it is more truthful :) thanks for positive input. I have also just submitted a request for information, about what determines how many sailors are killed per shell

lol you never know I may find out. I guess it is quite complicated, because zero death events seem to not always work lol XD

I remember we had a thread like this some ages ago. It worked out reasonably well as long as the right people provided the answers.

So here I come with my myth then:

What factors affect the vet conversion rate chance? No I don't mean superstitions, but does a Sailor level affect it's % of converting experts to veterans for example?
