AA mounts, Secondary mounts, torp tubes, engine, rudder, main batteries, and consumable aircraft. There are visible radar and sonar equipment on all ships why do they not have the ability to be disabled or destroyed like everything else?

Why doesn't having the speed boost consumable increase the chance of fire on the DD? All that extra high-octane (actually Methanol Alcohol) is certainly flammable!

Plus losing them would not matter only piss of CA's as one of their main gimmicks is those features Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

112 Ulrik Members 376 posts 1,961 battles Report post #14 Posted June 2, 2016 smoke generators lol? smoke was created by burning material in the engines that created smoke Only in ships powered by steam turbines. However, the point remains. If OP wants cruiser consumables to be destructible then it is only fair that the DD consumables be destructible as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If OP wants cruiser consumables to be destructible then it is only fair that the DD consumables be destructible as well. Naval methods[edit] Warships have sometimes used a simple variation of the smoke generator, by injecting fuel oil directly into the smoke stack. An even simpler method that was used in the days of steam-propelled warships was to restrict the supply of air to the boiler. This resulted in incomplete combustion of the coal or oil, which produced a thick black smoke. Because the smoke was black, it absorbed heat from the sun and tended to rise above the water. Therefore, navies turned to various chemicals, such as titanium tetrachloride, that produce a white, low-lying cloud.[1][2] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
