Sometimes less is more. Sometimes not.

OP - what’s the concern specifically? I’m not saying you’re right or wrong, but whatever your concern is, it’s not something that’s immediately obvious.

[acrisis]

There is some word going around that when the skill is indicated to be active, that it only does regular damage.

It’s only a 35% chance of a max roll. Are they saying that they’re seeing a normal roll when the skill is activated over multiple activations in a row?

Correct.
The skill is between 5% and 35% chance of dealing maximum damage, after 3 damaging shots. 
Series is broken by miss or shot that does no damage.

The issue I've had and that I think was originally mentioned is hearing the max roll "bling!" sound on the forth damage-dealing shot, yet receiving no max roll. It could be that the sound is just playing at the wrong time, as opposed to us actually missing out on max rolls we should be receiving. You can watch for it in battle; I think this is affecting everyone.

The one that always gets me is momentary happiness at hearing the Ding! then disappointment when I realise it's the same fixed damage in Realistic Mode.

The ding was to let you know the skill was active - but if you didn’t get a max roll, you didn’t win the die roll

This. I hear the ding sound even if it’s not a max roll.

Seriously? Omg I’ve got the sound maxed out, can hardly hear the music. Maybe I’d better switch to ear buds/head phones ASAP….

People seem to be really confused about this, so I will clarify.

 

In the past, if the Precision Fire crew skill activated, a special “ding” sound would play and you would see a yellow/orange exclamation point show up next to your damage roll. If the enemy had enough health, your shot would deal maximum damage allowed by the shell. If you hit 3 shots in a row and your 4th also hit, and the Precision Fire skill didn’t activate, you would hear no ding, and you would not get a maximum roll as well.

 

Currently, it seems like hitting ANY 4 shots in a row consecutively will play a ding on the successful damaging 4th shot, regardless if the crew skill activates or not. The chance of getting the max roll has not changed, the “ding” sound is simply playing much more frequently. I actually haven’t confirmed whether the criteria to get the “ding” sound to play is to hit 4 shots in a row, but the sound is happening a lot more now, and that seems like the logical explanation.

u hear the max roll indicator in pubs and it rolls for avg 

idk if the skill is broken or the indicator  

 

[_Crusader6_]

The skill is active after three successful penetrations in a row. 
 

The skill being active doesn’t guarantee a max roll.  
   The percentage of likelihood depends on the players Precision Fire crew skill to a max of 35% at Level 7.

After looking at it more in depth, it seems like the sound now plays whenever you hit 4 damaging shots in a row, regardless if the skill activates.

I hear it sometimes after the third shot - but TBH I never expect a major roll any time - and base everything these days on a min roll...
