2 informations I would like to include: 1. When you look at binoculars while being inside of ship (not on beck but while below deck), azimuth intentionally shows wrong value. 2. Ship sub-systems can be damaged and manfunction like tanks. Their engine can take damage and malfunction as well as its guns.

It is pretty complicated at first, but each individual position in the end is pretty basic. It's the working together that will make it tough to master I think

Some changes I would make, is giving the Destroyer the option to carry torpedoes instead of depth charges in the rear of the ship. This would also mean buffing the submarine with a machine gun and a proper single 120mm deck gun and increasing the damage/amount of torpedoes fired and stop blueprints and soldiers from blocking torpedoes. Hopefully we see more naval stuff in the future

I am pretty sure that this updates mainly concerned itself with bringing the gamemechanics into the game and that over time and coming updates things will get better polish, balance and definitely more naval content (like an open-topped sub for the colonials)

But in this way, no weapons can cause damage to submarines in a submerged state. The deep charge of a destroyer is the only weapon that can actively cause damage to submarines in a submerged state

Yeah but after playing the new patch do you realize how riddiculosely more powerful the destroyer already is compared to the warden sub? Not only is destroyer the king of the seas when it gets researched its also a mobile spawn point. Only way for wardens to stop it is to do multiple suicide runs with gunboats and that costs a lot of materials and manpower and even then it will just drive back home for repairs. Add insult to injury submarine costs 12 naval hull parts and destroyer only costs 3 more than it does even tho the sub is way shittier. Only nice thing about the sub is it doesnt need as many guys in it to work properly but the bad part is it needs actual training to operate with any effectiveness unlike the destroyer.

Hi! Just curious, so if both engines are set to reverse, pressing W will go backwards? or will it go forward but very slowly.

Good question! I haven't played with destroyers for a long time but I assume both engines in reverese should make you go backwards when pressing W

Forgot to include that; when your large ships is anchored it can not spring leaks. It can be detroyed but you can't shoot leaks into it.

In my nearly 5000hrs of Foxhole I have done a grand total of maybe 2 (two) hours of artillery related things. I will have to take a deeper dive myself. Artillery in general has been on my list, but since I am not a fan of artillery (neither to deal nor receive) I'm not sure if that is going to be any time soon. There are artillery calculators online, and you can use for instance foxholestats.com to just "spot" on the map.

Wouldn't the backgun hit the ship if its aiming forward in direct fire mode?

So, how many people you need to operate it?

@FreerkHoltes

8 ай бұрын

Just one if you only need to move it, after that it is up to what you want to do. If you mount all weapons you're allready looking at 2x120, 1x40, 2xmg and 2x launcher= 7 people. and then you need loaders, sensor operator, spotter and driver as well. so then you're lloking at like 12-15 people. Skelton crew for sub hunting I think is going to be 4/5 people (driver, sensor, launcher, loader, and a jack of all trades)

@zhu_zi4533

about 15+pp Because you always need additional damage management personnel, and due to the fast firing speed of the main gun of the warship, 2-3 loaders per gun are required to unleash maximum firepower,and this destroyer has two main guns.

The damage output is decent but nowhere near enough to take an entire hex. I doubt it will be even possible to take out a single townhall or relic base with it if the defending side has repair people and does harras the destroyer. We'll have to just wait and see I guess, to see how they fare

Battleship maybe you can neutralise one region, we've seen in videos of full savlvos destroying TH very quickly. But with only 4 120mm, it takes constant bombing and only works when you overwhelm their repair and defense first.
