+ | ||||
+ | ==Flooding Chance== | |||
+ | The probability of a ship flooding depends on where it is struck by the torpedo (or rammed by the enemy ship), the presence of [[Ship:Upgrades|upgrades]] on the damaged ship (specifically, Damage Control System Modification 1), and the [[Ship:Flags#Signals|signals]] mounted on the attacking ship: Juliet Whiskey Unaone ({{Juliet Whiskey Unaone|Size=18px}}) increases the chance of causing a flood by 15%; Victor Lima ({{Victor Lima|Size=18px}}) increases it by 4%. | |||
+ | ||||
+ | All ships — except destroyers — have torpedo protection for their citadel.

+ | {{AnnoWiki|content='''<nowiki>{</nowiki> [ ( 1 - [Torpedo Protection] - [Damage Control Modification 1] ) x 0.33 <nowiki>}</nowiki> x ( [Torpedo Flood Chance] + [Signals] ) = Flood Chance'''}} | |||

Causing Flooding
Only two effects have a chance to cause a ship to flood:
A ribbon is awarded when a flood is caused to an enemy ship. Though captains may be awarded multiple flooding ribbons, it is not possible for a ship to suffer from the effects of more than two floods concurrently: one forward and one aft. This is distinctly different from fires, where a ship can suffer from up to four simultaneous fires that stack their damage-over-time effects together.
Flooding Chance
The probability of a ship flooding depends on where it is struck by the torpedo (or rammed by the enemy ship), the presence of upgrades on the damaged ship (specifically, Damage Control System Modification 1), and the signals mounted on the attacking ship: Juliet Whiskey Unaone () increases the chance of causing a flood by 15%; Victor Lima () increases it by 4%.
All ships — except destroyers — have torpedo protection for their citadel. As a result, the chance of flooding and damage are reduced even if the ship doesn't have "Torpedo Protection" displayed on the Port screen. Destroyers do not have any torpedo protection, and the torpedo damage reduction bonus of Damage Control System Modification 1 will not work properly when the upgrade is mounted on a destroyer..
In order to calculate the flood chance of a given torpedo versus a given ship, the following formula is utilized:
- The value of "Torpedo Protection" varies by ship and is displayed in the Port screen.
- The value of "Damage Control Modification 1" is 0.97 if the appropriate upgrade is installed; otherwise, it is 1.
- "Torpedo Flood Chance" and "Flood Protection Coefficient"; the values can be found in the tables below.
- "Signals" varies depending on which signals are equipped; both Victor Lima () and Juliet Whiskey Unaone () can increase the flooding chance of torpedoes.
It is noteworthy that this formula is dependent upon the torpedo striking the torpedo protection (torpedo bulges) on the ship in question. If the torpedo strikes farther forward or astern of this protection, the damage and flood chance reduction afforded by the torpedo protection will not apply.
Ship-Launched Torpedo Data
Aerial Torpedo Data
As an example, we can compare the flood chance of a Type 93 mod. 3 torpedo from Shimakaze against Yamato’s vaunted torpedo protection. The Yamato has Damage Control Modification 1 installed. The Shimakaze commander is flying both the Victor Lima () and Juliet Whiskey Unaone () signals. The flood chance would be:
( 0.15 x 0.97 ) x [ (4.06) + (0.15) + (0.04) ] = 61.84% flood chance
If the Shimakaze was to de-mount the signal flags, the flood chance would be:
( 0.15 x 0.97 ) x [ 4.06 ] = 59.07% flood chance
If the same Shimakaze was to attack a Montana that did not have Damage Control Modification 1 installed, the flood chance would be:
( 0.21 x 1 ) x [ 4.06 ] = 85.26% flood chance
Flooding Effects
Aircraft carriers, destroyers, and cruisers take 0.25% hit points of damage per second per flood; Kronshtadt, Stalingrad, Alaska, Azuma, and all battleships take 0.5% hit points of damage per second per flood; and Admiral Graf Spee takes 0.375% hit points of damage per second per flood.
Flooding has a base duration of 30 seconds for carriers and 40 seconds for the other classes. A full duration flood on a battleship would deal 20% of its total health pool in damage, 11% more than a fire. This ratio is holds steady for all classes.
In addition, ships that are flooding have their top speed reduced by 30% at full speed forward, and 60% and at reverse.
Controlling Flooding
The effects of flooding can only be removed by utilization of the Damage Control Party consumable, or by waiting for the flood duration timer to expire. There are two sections of the ship that can take floods: one forward and one aft. Flooding duration can be reduced several ways:
- Equipping Damage Control Modification 2 will reduce the duration by 15%.
- Using a commander with the Level 3 commander skill Basics of Survivability will reduce the duration by 15%.
- Flying the Juliet Yankee Bissotwo signal () will reduce the duration by 20%.
Each of these effects stacks with the others; however, they are multiplicative rather than cumulative.
For example, if all three effects are stacked, the flooding duration is: 40 seconds x 0.85 x 0.85 x 0.80 = 23.12 seconds.
The below table provides the flood durations and total health loss for the different combinations of the above three effects.
Modifiers | Total Damage | Duration |
---|---|---|
Total damage | 7.5% of base health | 30 seconds |
With one -15% modifier | 6.25% of base health | 25 seconds |
With a -20% modifier | 6.0% of base health | 24 seconds |
With two -15% modifiers | 5.25% of base health | 21 seconds |
With one -15% modifier and a -20% modifier | 5.0% of base health | 20 seconds |
With two -15% modifiers and a -20% modifier | 4.25% of base health | 17 seconds |
Modifiers | Total Damage | Duration |
---|---|---|
Total damage | 20.0% of base health | 40 seconds |
With one -15% modifier | 17.0% of base health | 34 seconds |
With a -20% modifier | 16.0% of base health | 32 seconds |
With two -15% modifiers | 14.0% of base health | 28 seconds |
With one -15% modifier and a -20% modifier | 13.5% of base health | 27 seconds |
With two -15% modifiers and a -20% modifier | 11.5% of base health | 23 seconds |
Modifiers | Total Damage | Duration |
---|---|---|
Total damage | 15.0% of base health | 40 seconds |
With one -15% modifier | 12.75% of base health | 34 seconds |
With a -20% modifier | 12.0% of base health | 32 seconds |
With two -15% modifiers | 10.5% of base health | 28 seconds |
With one -15% modifier and a -20% modifier | 10.125% of base health | 27 seconds |
With two -15% modifiers and a -20% modifier | 8.625% of base health | 23 seconds |
Modifiers | Total Damage | Duration |
---|---|---|
Total damage | 10.0% of base health | 40 seconds |
With one -15% modifier | 8.5% of base health | 34 seconds |
With a -20% modifier | 8.0% of base health | 32 seconds |
With two -15% modifiers | 7.0% of base health | 28 seconds |
With one -15% modifier and a -20% modifier | 6.75% of base health | 27 seconds |
With two -15% modifiers and a -20% modifier | 5.75% of base health | 23 seconds |
All damage sustained by flooding is 100% recoverable by ships that can use the Repair Party consumable.
