Hello ok so in (BSP)I will be in i fight with another person with the same ship and the same health but for some reason i allways lose. I take it my lack of strategy gets the best of me. I know you have to target a speciffic area of the ship but what would you recomend shoot at first? there engine to stop them and then go for the magazines? or do you send out a wave of torpedos and hope for the best till you get in range? Or do you relie on a strong airforce to weaken them and then go in for the kill? Or maybe you just aim at a speciffic part of the ship and that usually works best for you? For some reason i just can't really find a way to take down enemey players ships so i would be very gratefull if some people could tell me a strategy to win at head to head naval fights. please feel free to share any thoughts or ideas or some sort of battle formations you might use. thanks

Are you holding down the trigger or firing in bursts?

Yeah burst fire is definatly the way to go. Also try and put yourself in a position where the enemy can't perform a broad side attack, this can be done by using torps. If you are running parralel to said enemy they will turn to avoid damage, react accordingly and you can avoid a full broad side. You can combine attacks, have 1/2 dive bombers attack at the same time as you send a flurry of torps and hopefully there will be so much going on that your target will take a few hits. Basically if you can perform attacks that put "the baddies" where you want them you'll be calling the shots, litteraly. Hope this helps a little. I started reading history books on this stuff out of interest so if you have any more Q's don't hesitate.

yea firing in bursts helps my order usually goes: Magazine -> engine/fuel( usually engine so there easier to hit) and after that just pound them to no end
