All I can see that it does is create a halo around the graticule. If this thing is supposed to tell you the direction of the nearest enemy ship, how in the hell does it "tell" you anything. I always end up seeing enemy ships as I normally would, when everyone else sees them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it doesn't spot the enemy, tell you how far away they are, or what the enemy ship actually is... I've heard a story about a Fletcher chasing his RPF indicator around an island, expecting to find the enemy IJN DD... and instead finding a Zao at 6km.

The RDF "arc" you see is centered on this 22.5° segment. At great distance this wedge is quite wide, and at a very close distance the wedge is very narrow. There is no distance info for RDF so the ship could be anywhere in the arc. In a close in situation, where a target is in smoke it can be useful for blind-firing.

On the other hand, I find it highly useful on Fletcher and Belfast, which are excellent at hunting down DDs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
125 [WOLFB] Geococcyx [WOLFB] Members 375 posts 9,876 battles Report post #7 Posted May 1, 2017 The best ships to use this skill on are ships that contest caps. Particularly USN and IJN DDs. I particularly like it on my the IJN DDs that can fire torps undetected. I use to avoid being spotted. I have found RPF not worth the points for most other ships. I tired it on my Belfast but took it off as I found RPF was too situational. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
