Thanks book

I'll be sure to try the SS rounds at night trick would help out a lot at longish range in the dark.

Ooops!

Forgot to mention that the star shell explodes at 3000 meters, so you want to make sure that the target is closer than that when you open fire. Otherwise you will alert it to your presence.

Welcome aboard Kaleun....the damage rating for both 88mm and 105mm in Sh3 stock are almost identical.

If your playing stock, try clicking on the AP shell bottom right of your screen.

If your playing GWX, forget it, we took them out of the game.

Hmm i used to play on multiplayer on stock 1.4. Damage from AP or HE dont seem to have that much difference. Only if i use the torpedo effect i will see the splash bigger or smaller

Be careful with the Star Shells especially later in the war when most merchants had armament. One tip is to not use the Star Shells to fire directly at the ship (they do very little, if any damage) but to point them in the air about 2500 meters out on dark nights so you can get a clear view at the target in order to use your HEI ammo on. Once that ammo has started a fire, you don't need star shells. Star shells are limited in quantity in the stock game anyway. Can't get them in GWX. Wish I could get a few in GWX.

If you edit the Config file you can get them back, but why would you????:hmm: Due to the fact the ememy arms itself much sooner, it lights you up to become their target instead of the other way round!

Very true regarding the enemy, but there are quite a few smaller targets still without armament. A star shell comes in handy if fired properly doesn't really illuminate you but the intended target. Not to say, you want to stick around long but you can fire quicker at longer range with a few star shells illuminating the target. Just adds a little more enjoyment to the game for me.
