WORLD OF WARSHIPS BATTLESHIP, WHEN TO USE he VS ap

In short, in the current meta of the game HE for consistant damage + fire change, or AP if the RNjesus is looking down on you. The HE/ AP mechanics are a little bit skewed atm in favor of HE, ironically cruiser AP seems to be more reliable at damaging ships with decent damage( talking 5k + salvos with the 200mm guns and even the 155mm guns) than the 356mm guns of the BS shooting other battle ships, yes cruiser AP has a lower chance of causing a citadel penetration against a BS( almost zero chance) but shooting the super structure with AP works great, BS AP on the other hands seems to be rather hit and miss since the last few patches where they apparently 'fixed' the penetration mechanics where hitting a full broad side into the perfect angle of an enemy BS does over pen damage( talking 1k for 5 hits - basically one penetration) ok on the odd occasion where you do manage to penetrate and not hit the citadel you will do a hell of a lot of damage but its heavily RNG based, even firing against cruisers, worse case of this was in the Arkansas or the New York cant remember which, fired a full broad side into a Kuma got 7 hits and only did 2k damage, all the while he fires a HE salvo at me and does 4k damage + sets me on fire.
