The devs confirmed AP rebalance in next patch.

Yeah. The shells sometimes hit right next to the ship at the waterline and cause no hits or damage, only a water splash. Somewhat related - possibility of flat trajectory shells ricocheting off the water surface in a future update? Could be a fun addition.

Another thing I've noticed is the lack of underwater hits. A shell that hits right next to a ship disappears into oblivion, instead of continuing into the hull below the waterline. I'm assuming this is something that will be added in the future as plunging below waterline hits were a thing in reality.

Also, torpedoes seem somewhat weak. I hit an enemy BC with over seven 22inch torpedoes and they barely did any damage.

I definitely feel like armor is too strong at the moment. Partial pens everywhere, even battleships hitting flat broadsides at 2.5km.
