I’m looking through the threads here. I’m looking for the meaning behind all of these keys. I know F7 is battle stations. I think one is deck gun?

F9 thru 12 was what I really needed thanks! Does pre heating a torpedo do anything?

The theory is Heating the electrolyte would speed up the chemical reaction involved which, in turn, allows the battery to deliver more energy and power.

In game it may give a little more range and speed to battery powered torpedoes but it not that noticeable. I think it may increase chances of dud IIRC
