  • Loading more depth charges

Hi All,

I've just bought some depth charge launchers for my Revenge but i can only load 2 charges per launcher???

The ship isnt over weight and from the stats I appear to have plenty of capacity for more. Yet I can only load 2 and thats it. 1 salvo per launcher.

In games I see a lot of people unloading loads into the water at long range. How do you do this?? Mine just drop off the side. Numerous google and forum searches have revealed nothing, and the FAQ on here says "Upgrade the Weapon Loading Capacity" which I cannot find the option for or any help on how to do this. 

Can anyone guide me into getting them working?? My Revenge is too tiny to go forward in Great Battles, without an instant death, and I'm forced into sitting at the back looking for SS's on the surface, but thats another story.  

Thanks

Those ones you see launching are hedgehogs, much different than DCs. Longer range, less effectiveness.

Check the amount of space each DC takes up on your gun space. Even if there is ten space left the size of the DC might allow only two.

You should also help main battle line ships defend from smaller enemies like DDs, CLs and CAs.


Remember you are a battleship. Your mere caliber should be enough reason to stay away from you. Anything bigger than 11 inches can cause some serious pain.

First off, DCs count ingame as a Torpedo weapon, they are stored as "Special Ammo" in a seperated location. Only CLs and below, SS and CVs use this (It also stores Dive bombs and Torpedos for Torp bombers)


This Value is located in the harbor screen, near the Planespace on the window on the right side of the screen on the bottom. It should be the farthest left value.


CAs and BBs DO NOT carry any of said space and can only load the max loadout of the weapon. So if it has 2 firing positions on the weapon (Like DCs), then it can only load 2 since there is no storage space for the "Special" extra torpedo ammo.

Switch to HH.

If youre a new player I'd avoid going for Hedgehogs. Because before you realise it, you'll notice your credit balance slowly dwindling. HH are very credit heavy, you can blow 20k of HH in a game and not even earn half of that back.

HH is only if you have the money to blow on them. DC are more powerful and cheaper, usually good for new players.

If you play a BB, just equip AA. We have enough BBs running HH and cant effectively kill any planes circling them. We know what players these are lol.
