Arcade or Sim?

Gunnery fire rates are historical.
Accuracy is based on target solution which is modified as follows;

Rate of Solution Accuracy Increases with:
- Good visibility to target, at close range
- Using Spotting fire against the target
- Correct identification of target ship class
- Using radar
- Target using radar
- Dark conditions and target illuminated by fire, muzzle flashes or fire
- Tracking target with multiple directors

Rate of Solution Accuracy Decreases with:
- Poor visibility to target, at long range
- Changes in target course or speed.
- Changes in observing ship's course or speed.
- Target is burning or releasing smoke (unless observer using radar)
- Losing contact with target

Automated Scouting - In BETA
Thu, 8 April 2021



Scout aircraft can now be launched from ships and assigned a path to follow. Aircraft continuously follow the specified path, returning to their ship to refuel.

Once set up, a scouting path does not need to be managed unless;
- scout is shot down
- ship launching it is sunk or released from command
- the path requires editing or a manual course is desired

Scouts continue to fly at night so as not to require setting up all scouts the following morning.

Any Air Group with 1 member gains access to the scouting UI making it possible to launch any aircraft desired, with or without a payload, and set it up as a scout.
Carrying a payload will reduce the maximum range a scout can fly before having to refuel.


To use automated scouting:

1) Select a ship with aircraft and click the Scout button.




A single aircraft of the first valid type on that ship is launched.
- Cannot launch if ship is currently on Air Op cool down
- Cannot launch if outside Air Op hours (however once launched will repeat path, even after Air Op hours)


2) Map out a path using the waypoint buttons.




Clicking the centre button (ship) will clear the path.
