Kelvin I have a Kagero(?)DD and have upgraded to twin barrell turrets. my question is when selecting shells, do I click the single shell icon or the double? when I click double and go to battle it says no more ammo.

Also, is it advisable to put regular guns on instead of AA? This is my current approach. Instead of 2 main guns and 2 aa, i HAVE 4 DOUBE BARRELL TURRETS.


ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Those shell icons are for your ammo lockers. You have two lockers, A and B. When you select your A locker (which is the default one that you use when battle starts), your guns in your selected gun group (R or T) will all fire that ammo. You can switch lockers in the middle of battle (the Y key) and it'll take time to reload, but it offers you a lot of flexibility. For example, on battleship main guns, players fill their A locker with Light HE and their B locker with AP; so they'll normally fire explosive shells at their targets, but when they encounter an enemy that has enough armor to stop those shells, they switch to their B locker and use AP to break through.

As for your second question, my opinion is that it's never too early to learn how to AA, but for IJN there's the exception that their AA gunner class requires a bit of special classing. For now, stick with classing your main gunners normally (you should have two of them, one for forward R guns and one for rear R guns), and level your AA gunners after doing a bit of research on how they should be classed.

dude this game is very addicting. I ahve lost a lot of money on swapping guns to much and not understanding how the remodels and upgrades work, so im broke as a joke. But, lovin every minuite of this game.


I just got a lvl 23 gunner and when I promoted him I cant place him on my boat. So I dont have anyone qualified to shoot my lvl 23 aft guns. Is there a wait time before I can use him?


OMG this avatar is horrible, im gonna have to spam threads till I can get rid of it.


nevermind about the gunnerit was a glitch.

No one in Missouri Server? I'm always active in there, but sometimes I go to AZ to play in my USN.

I upgraded to the gold ac****. As of lately, I've been doing pretty good. Now it's nice to accually accumulate some real points for winning. I've had a few games now where I've sunk a few CAs with my long lance attacks.

Play as xebec on New York server. Doing the KM line and currently play a Type II sub and CL Koenigsberg. Probably took 50 playing hours with a premium account to get there. This is actually my 2nd go at NF, lured back by the addition of subs. My first go was before US based servers, 4-5 years ago. When I stopped I gave away free all my ships, sailors, credits and points, over two million in value. Sure wish I had that back now
