How it Works: Fire 

What do you think about today's episode?:)

Your math is off. You forgot about the 100% change of a fire being set, the second you Damage Control goes on cooldown.

How does fire work? Go ask profesor Smolensk. He has 10 PHDs in hellfire.

Poor Fusou, she's being the punching bag again

2:03 Smolensk : yes, of course

Well you get oxygen, a fuel source and heat...

Fire....how it works.....you are always on fire in this game...that's how it works.

WOWS creators: I've got it, a BB will burn for 10 years upon seeing a HE shell but a CV will have a 1 in 1000 percent chance of catching on fire. Everyone else: Genius, I would have never thought of this inaccuracy

4:23 Wargaming, what happened to your graphics department that 5s fire for CVs is the same length bar as 60s fire for BBs? Or was that just cause you want it to look like CVs have equal fire mechanics to the rest of the ships and not half or less the fire effects of other classes.

How it works? It starts and never stops. Just put out 3 fires? Well here 3 more 30 seconds later!

Fire prevention should decrease to 2 fires! it costs 4 skill points

The fire system in this game needs to be reworked, nerfed or removed completely. It's getting to the point of pure idiocy when a ship can literally keep spamming HE shells at me: I then repair all the fires on my ship as im about to enter cover and then that 1 last shell from the salvo that could possibly hit me starts a new fire and then i burn without any way of dealing with it. The ship follows me and continues to spray fires on me again and there's nothing i can do. Imo if you've caught on fire and repaired there should be atleast 1-3 min timer where any HE shell that hits your ship only has a 2-4% chance of starting a fire again because it feels so stupid being in a Battleship or large cruiser only to be barraded by HE shells nonstop: Especially when they're being shot from those small fart cans called Destroyers..

that's the problem with the game now, everygame you play is he spam, he spam, he spam. cant even play a bb close anymore, no fun

"Its 2 fewer fires on average" for 100 shells? You think its gonna matter when every game its about 800 or 1000 shells? Ever heard of half the ships in the game. We got Worcester, smolensk, minotaur, colbert, atlanta, the russian bb line that has accuracy better than a destroyer at max range, we have all the aircraft carriers. You think 100 shells is all your gonna get, when it's so many it doesnt matter.

HE popularity si not because of its fire probability , its because its 0 skill ammo in most cases... A CONQUEROR can hit any bow in BBs for 15-20k consistently with HE... why would anyone use AP ?

Step 1: play conqueror , step 2 set shit on fire , step 3: own the damage meters Step 4: win

Fire, how it works: you damage con a quad fire so that Smolensk can start another quad fire immediately right after

Let me introduce my fellow friend: Napalm shell, coming soon on world of warships

2 fewer fires per 100 shells is so small. Didn't realize it was this small of a margin.

A very informative and detailed vid on fire mechanics, thank you. I just want to know: 1. why these percentage differences are so tiny, 2. why would stopping 2 fires out of 100 successfully set would make any difference to anyone already on fire 98 times?

Thank you for this!

4:25 I like how you use the same bar length for both the 60sec of BBs and 5 sec of CVs. I guess using the correct length would have highlighted too much the fact that CVs take for some stupid reason way less damage from fires than other classes.

Nothing has made more people stop playing WoWs than the unbelievable frustrating fire system. When someone shoots HE shells at you, then you burn. There's nothing you can do about it. No captain's skill and no module will prevent that. Smolensk, Atlanta, Worcester, Colbert, etc. etc. etc. will hit you with ~8 shells every few seconds with each shell having a ~20% chance of setting a fire. Do the math. You burn, burn, burn, then, when your Repair Skill is finally off cooldown, you repair and do not burn for the duration of the Repair Skill, which is about 10 seconds, and after that, the next HE salvo sets you on fire again. Burn, burn, burn. No player skill needed.

Nice video, thx wg

Can you make secondary turrets have some armour protection?

by the way everyone, this is apparently a re-run episode check the How it Works playlist on the channel; and you will see the original

What is the explanation of the 5 seconds of fire on cvs? Just 5% of cvs hp? And why when I get a fire sometimes the time of fire resets itself when I get shot by HE again? (in the same part of the ship?)

This series is the greatest thing that we can watch on this channel!

I have a question. The fire chance is on SLAVO or SHELL?

Very nice video

In the game when actually used There are no specific number values specified in the game, such as setting up parts, including Captain Skill. Now this boat will How many damage numbers are there? How much can the ship be repaired? At least tell the numbers in a nutshell. Will it be good?

Does any of the "how it works" information apply to the console version. Because I know that is very dumbed down in comparison to PC

So, overall which skill is more useful for eating less fire DMG? Fire Pevention for 4 skills or Basic Survivability, if you can't have both?

For Asia there is no submarine yet !? Are there additional data that I have to download again or what?

Unless your in a BB and just used your damage control - 4 fires from ONE salvo straight after that? That's 400% fire chance I'm guessing

Damage over Time (DoT) mitigation mechanics in the form of time reduction are RUBBISH. this part of the game has been obsolete for long time. It is POINTLESS reducing the time duration when that same part can be set on fire immediately after the fire dissapears. Sometimes putting out a fire (naturally or by DCP) is counterprodcutive as you are open to an immediate fire once again. DoT mitigation mechanics should directly reduce the rate of damage leaving the time unmodified, that is the only possibility (from among these two) which reliably and consistently correlates to hp preservation.

so the damage control team start taking a break for 2 min when the ship is burning or sinking ?

Fire is dangerous except for CVs. WOWS magical effects.

so, fire on deck does no longer prevent planes form launching?

Total DMG to Carriers: 24% of base health, fire duration 60 seconds... Hold up WG (⚆_⚆)...

2:25 Finally , someone knows how to properly pronounces "Fuso"

Help me:( the game keeps saying eror connecting to server ) what do I do? Iam at ps4

You should have used Smolensk as an example.

That CV fire duration is ridiculous - they aren't immune to fire. If you need a fix, why not give CVs manual damage control?

Yeah figured out how fire works from playing against Smolensk

Wait, is this a re-upload?

Last time I was this early the game was still in closed beta

helps a lot

Eyy wargaming can we get a sound update. A few of us are tired of all the guns sounding exactly the same. Like izumo has the same gun fire sound as yamato dispite 50mm difference

Why a re-upload?

"Let's go back to our fuso" Me scrolling into the comment section to find the `commemts': Oh no...

For some reason when I saw the thumbnail, I almost thought that the ship that was on fire was the Titanic.

there should be a cap on how many times a ship can be on fire, its kinda annoying to have 10-25 fires in a single game, all coming from a few ships that can camp behind an island and you cant hide behind another island cause their shells come down from high orbit...

The fact that now you can set an enemy on fire very easier

There are way to many fires in todays game. I was playing Sovetsky Soyuz ( one of many ships that burn if you look at the ship wrong) and in one game the ship was on fire 11 separate times. On two different occasions I had 3 fires twice. I burnt down and died. Didn't matter what type of ships shelled me. This isn't fair and makes the game very difficult. There are many ships in the game that are fire magnets, and as such I do not play these much anymore. I couldn't find cover or get away. Did'nput out the fires until there was 2-3 fires each time. By the time the repair party was off cool down I lost another big chunk part of the ships health again. This isn't exciting for me or anyone else playing the game.

Please make one for ramming

Who knew ships were made of such flammable materials. LMAO

always when ur damage control goes finishes up immediently u get grazed by an he shell, means an instant fire

*Lets take a look at our Fuso!*

u should make it were it only calculates the probability of fire only when the shell penetrates.

I don't mean to sound cynical but with the current HE spam meta and lack of actual intelligence within players to use AP, and therefore - _think_ , I feel this is really relevant...

Maybe, just maybe, HE is too strong and the overall fire chance of all ships should be greatly reduced? That or buff fire prevention so it's actually worth the FOUR points. Maybe two fires max? Reducing the chance to be set on fire by half? Both?

this is the same video that they uploaded a few years ago. exaclty the same (edit: at the end they say next time they will have a torpedo video. We already had a torpedo video in the same series. they just put the same file in upload

Hey World of Warship, Maybe you can start a new kind of videos like HOW TO. For example it seems nice to me to see how to aim better or for example how to win more often. Such things like that.

*_Ah, RNGESUS is back again!_*

This episode of how it works, added 1 year ago

Fire🔥: it burns

Why is this reuploaded again?

elders: we know that give us a spammer ship devs: oh smolensk not enough? ok!

Fire needs a nerf. Maybe reduce the burning time.

WG at 1:27: In our game there could be only 4 fires on a ship Fuso at 1:40: WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS THEN!!!

is it reupload?

im starting to see alot of Thunderer now in matches, everyone falling for the HE Sickness, as BB main you know you will be almost 90% of the time have 1 fire going, with even some BB using HE spam, and ofc al the cruisers doing it too, i can even have problem seeing infront of me at times, shit mechanic that is being over used

Can ap shells get on fire?

How to get RNG using Bismarck, simple, be a legend that knows it and you done :))))

I just use AP at short distance. HE are more fun-they destroy the enemy slow but safe.

the way it works is shoot me once there is fire, shoot me again and its fire, then again.

You forgot the part where you remove HE and CVs in total

Just get the smo... Wait that is a hole other league of fire.

*shoots 350mm steel plate with 150mm HE* World of Warships: It definitely didn't penetrate but it somehow created a fire through the armor.

"Fires don't damage modules" "Fires don't spread on their own" *War Thunder PTSD intensifies*

fuso is bacc, poor fuso

I thought u wont bully Fuso-san again

The poor FUSO is the one that is at the receiving end of other ships Barrels and is a experiment ship

Worst nightmare of BB. :3

OMG! Poor Fuso

How it Works: Fire HE, hit ship, start fire, ship burns. Probably didn't need a video about this.

Its easy you need to hit the deck or a weak hull with a highly flammable shell

出雲阿阿阿阿遇到火災就得提到她...

4:31 Ironic how Alaska burns longer.

Repost?

Short answer: it sucks your soul Long answer: number magic

for this one..i think Conqueror would have been appropriate; its the BB version of a flame thrower. Stop abusing poor Fuso so much and start using some of the in house meme ships.

why is this vid reuploaded. there was the same vid 3 years ago

looked at this vdieo of being on fire 11 times in a mission. I was like the fuso is made of firewood. wtf

It looks very nice but the problem is that worth nothing. My favorite ship was Jean Bart and i loved it so much but now there is in the trash. I have full survival skill capitan with anti fire upgrades but even so, every ships make fire me. Battleships, light and havy cruisers and some destroyers too. Playing with battleships in high tier battles are unplayeable.

the duration of fires of battlecruisers is just stupid

Fuso being used at target brings joy to my ships.

Why you still bullying the Fuso? We didn't forget you know Use Montana or any Tier 10 battleships as target practice.

I had 3 fire onboard on my ship and it maked a alarm
