TORPEDO BATTLESHIP | Sharnhorst | It's Up Close And Personal

[@jeremielarin1979]

Here are some tips for the secondary’s. First keep them on all target(surface and air) second use x-2 (secondary) and x-3 (aa) to give them targets. If you don’t give them targets, they will just shoot what they se first.

[@sharkk127]

Until you're getting shot at then you probably want to turn them off to preserve crew

[@jeremielarin1979]

@@sharkk127 turning them off dosen’t get the crew out of there post. If Preserving your crew is your priority don’t repair under fire. Édit:added if

[@alphaadhito]

@@jeremielarin1979 Ah thats why. I'm so used to tank battles I just pressed every button when there's fire, flood or need to repair, and wonder why I'm started loosing crews 😂

[@King63Kobra]

@@jeremielarin1979 I still always have them off until I'm in combat so that why I don't attract the attention of someone I haven't noticed yet

true ,or use all the secondary to shot ur main target ,so u will not attract other attention.

[@SunlitZelkova]

Looking forward to the next naval vid! By the way, there is a minimum arming distance for torpedoes. If you look closely at the damage cam when you torped the second Mogami during the first game, you’ll notice one of them did almost no damage. You can find the arming distance for each torpedo in the stat card/information card.

People say that naval is too boring compared to ground and air but it has so much more action and is almost a state of constant engagement. And it's still pretty chill. Like ocean sniping

[@gamerfella7488]

Thanks phly for posting later!!!! It’s much apreiciated love your content especially higher tier, you should do a video on the aml? The tiny French tank that’s very top heavy. It could be interesting to do for a combo vid!

[@GWLlosa]

Around the 11-12 minute mark, when you comment that your secondaries must have killed the ship: I've noticed in naval that sometimes you hit the ammo racks, but it takes them 10-30 seconds to 'cook off' and explode. I always think of it as "the fire takes a second to burn all the way to the actual ammunition".

[@LeIndyVid]

The ammo-wetting feature slows down ammo-magazine fires and helps put them out passively.

I love the naval videos. Naval doesn't get enough love and I myself have been getting into it more recently. Thanks for the great vids!

[@LeIndyVid]

HE = kills crew in un/low-armored parts of the ship, and can destroy spaces which have little armor. APHE = kills crew in heavily-armored spaces, penetrates into interior spaces and destroys machinery/spaces/crew in there (engine room, steerage, battle bridge, etc) SAP = hybrid of the two For BC/BB, you want to open with AP aimed at guns/ammo, just like with tanks. After a couple salvos of AP, I switch to HE and go to work on secondary/deck crew/other lightly-armored portions of the ship. I keep the secondaries loaded with HE if they have it and just keep them focused on the target I'm softening up. Remember to "cross their T". You can use your broadside, while they can only use fore/aft batteries, depending on where you've crossed them. Turn into a broadside to limit damage and protect your flanks. Aim AP at/slightly below the waterline. If you can get through the belt armor, sink em fast. For small fry (cruisers and down), penetrating at the waterline on a downward angle is nearly an automatic ammo-rack kill. Have your AAA guns open up on them too (X+3) for more chaos for them to deal with. Shooting a space once it's already black is useless. The damage model of ships is different from airplanes and tanks: once a space is black, its crew is dead. Carry on, sailor :)

[@prepareuranus8097]

I appreciate you trying the naval meta. I understand its not for everyone. but it does make me feel like a naval commander more than even world of warships does. the ballistics and all the carnage of naval does look gorgeous. yes its slow paced. But once the action starts. The action can be quite spectacular. Who doesn’t love watching 90,000 tons of steel strapped with 30+ varieties of different caliber auto cannons and huge rifled naval cannons charge into battle fighting all different sorts of engineering on other floating blocks of steel with cannons. 🤣

[@bloodiron8255]

High Explosive rounds are better for Plunging fire(deck hits) and other BB's that have there armor angled towards your fire or lower armor ships your Ap will over pen that's when you'll need to decide to use sap or not, German bb's were designed with a "turtleback" styled armor which was internal sloped deck armor behind the main belt which makes them favor mid to closer range engagements

[@jayvenso]

Loving the naval content getting more people to play hopefully will get gaijin to spread out the br and balance it a bit

I think that naval does actually have a lot of potential, i think people don't play it as much because it used to be trash and so none of the big wt KZbinrs made any tutorials or developed any strats

Holy cow, this makes naval look fun! I've never played it, but this has piqued my interest. The amount of explosions and chaos just makes it look so satisfying!

[@corneliakashigawi5743]

So glad your bringing attention to Naval, I know it has its problems, but it has SO much potential and it really hurts when people just completely write naval off.

[@sliceofpie9584]

I've found that HE is excellent in taking out the guns of a ship. I tend to do that first since the guns generally break easily, and after I take their guns out I just rain hell on them.

As long as you keep your distance and dodge their slow reloads there's literally nothing they can do. I never really played naval realistic cuz I thought it was too slow paced for me.
