Secondary Battery

[800300]

Is there something special i need to do to get my Secondary Batteries to fire on my Battleships? I never seem to get any damaged caused by them/even in close combat action.

Thank you

Do you have the manual secondary skill? if yes, you have to hold ctrl so you can select the ship by clicking on it.

If no -

• check the range of your secondaries, you may not be close enough, at lower tiers the ranges are particularly short.
• If they are in range look to the left of your shell selection and consumables bar, is there a little yellow icon with "off" there, if yes, you have accidentally hit the P key, and disabled secondaries and AA
•  If you are in range, and have secondaries turned on, check the after battles report and look under "secondary battery" for "Shells fired", if there is a number indicating shells were fired, but no indication they hit, it means just that they fired but missed, secondaries unless your in a tier 8 with manual secondaries tend to be highly inaccurate. 

It's also rare they even actually cause damage on hits, in most cases the damage of secondaries comes mostly from fires other than against DD's, maybe some light cruisers.

Where did you find out how to do that  - instructions on the manual secondary skill? if yes, you have to hold ctrl so you can select the ship by clicking on it.
