During an allied assault, you can also resupply at the accompanying tender ( 10:31 ) without leaving combat. It’s the large ship you pointed out. Stay within the green circle until reloaded and repaired.
@@Stealth17Gaming was able so send dozens of guided torpedoes when you sit in the resupply zone sinking 4 Destoryers, and most of the large swarm of sub chasers might need to put a cool down on that replenishment time
That was infuriating, he did that in the first or second video and then completely ignored them. He barely checks his compass/radar and only now does he see the crew-in-the-water markers...
@@Stealth17Gaming I think people forget when you're playing the game it's easy to miss things, when watching the game it's much easier to spot little things you might miss.
Who wins? 6x AAA positions on an outpost. or one Stealthy boi in a speedboat with a 20mm chain gun? My honest opinion with a small Higgins boat like that, I'd be grinding out RP so I can get 2x M2s on the turrets, and a quad 50 on the stern for AA. I don't remember if you could mount a gun on the bow of the Higgins or if that was a different boat, but I'd move the 20mm to the bow so I could fight surface targets with the two single 50s and the 20, and the quad 50 can gnaw on any aerial threat that presents itself. Allocate two outboard spots for the 20mm, one each for the two 50s, and then the stern for the quad 50. Then have one spot for medkits and another for repair kits. My thought process is typical American "accuracy by volume" way of thinking. Plus how badass would a tiny Higgins boat look bristling with big guns?
Reguarding the Consumables, they don't Recharge, once they are Exhausted you pop them in the Reroll box and it will randomly give you new ones. so 1500 RP points for 6 Random new consumables if you put 6 of them in their. The Mortor is grate investment for attacking enemy Bases, since you can shell them from a distance. I THINK if you take out the watchtowers first, it gives you more time before the enemy notices you as well. About the only thing you CAN't kill with a mortar is enemy submarines since they tend to stay submerged. Also whenever you sink a enemy ship/boat, be sure to pick up the Boxes that float to the surface, those also get you RP points.
My go-to base raiding method is to bring Mk8 torpedoes (yes, the cheap ones) and the M3 anti-tank gun. I'll just turn up at a Japanese base of my choice, day or night, stop my engines immediately upon spawning in, and go to work. I'd start by sniping any docked ships that I may find with the Mk8 torpedoes. Being non-guided heavy hitters, they'd go straight for the target and can usually bring down large ships in one (sometimes two) shots. I find that acoustic torpedoes seem to get confused by the utter lack of engine noise in docked ships, so the non-guided ones work perfectly as long as you do your aiming in binocular mode. Once the big boats are sunk, I'd start working on the base defences with the anti-tank gun by sniping at them from the spawn point with impunity. At this range, I can't be spotted even on a clear day. You'll be doing this in binoculars mode, and you'll still be shooting at targets beyond the minimap's range. However, beware that what may initially look like your shell's predicted impact point is actually the top of its arching trajectory. The actual aim point is hard to see, but you'll have to *see through* the translucent red aiming line to find it. I found out about that quirk the hard way. Just be ready to fight off potential air attacks on your way home. If everything goes well, you're mostly out of ammo (I brought 36) and you will have drawn some unwanted attention.
19:00 it looks like you're having trouble taking the river boats down due to the waves eating up half of your shots. Try getting a bit closer in rough weather before opening up.
not sure if you find out later on. but if you click "stats" on the left it tells you what your RP income is. I found that its best to be on offence getting new bases instead of defending. more bases more money. also when destroyers start showing up, its easier to take a new base with only defenses instead of fighting the destroyers.
If I may point out, when your crew pick up an Ammo/Med/Repair kit it's removed from your "total at the top right" but you still have it available (it's in crew inventory) I noticed once/twice that you've said you're out of ammo but both your loaders had fresh ammo on themselves, (ie 2x magazines) just letting you know. :)
does kind of feel silly to do it that way though, makes it harder to keep track of what you have available. Crew holding ammo is still ammo on your boat :
You seem to be getting it. To re-roll you have to put the depleted cards in the roll call slots, I believe. After a raid, an enemy base might try reinforcing which is when you will see supply vessels which can net you more RP if you want to take the risk. As the campaign progresses you will run into destroyers of various classes and be told of the appearance of certain named ships. Make sure you have a good armament when facing these things because they can be tough but you can actually take out some of their guns. Now that you have a mortar you can actually launch smoke canisters at larger ships which will allow you to get closer without them opening fire on you. Surprisingly, you can sink them by dropping depth charges right next to them if you are out of torpedoes.
do note that when re-rolling cards, they don't have to be depleted - i've rerolled a bunch of unused fighters with bombs into other things because i knew damn well i wouldn't be using them
@@ripoffpingu Yeah, they do not have to be but why would you want to re-roll cards that have uses. It wastes RP especially since the cost to do so was raised to 1500 RP.
@@dragonslayer2107 i mean. i've gotten to the point of the game where 1500 RP doesn't really mean that much, and the fact that i'm much much more likely to get mileage out of the fighers with MGs than fighters with bombers is good enough justification that i'd just reroll them immediately whenever i get them.
As far as consumables are concerned the counter decrements when one of the crew picks it up out of the stash, but it's not used until the crew delivers it to the repair, crew, or gun
GG Stealth, the new weapons were cool, but as you pointed out really limited your ability to dodge.Do your points (for calling in air support) dwindle as the battle goes on?
The mortar feels like a waste of time. It takes so much longer to take out defenses with it then with your machine guns that it's actually easier and safer to not bother with the mortar.
you can out range the defenses at night. at night it is completely overpowered, I can take out a 50 strength base by bringing just a mortar and maxed ammo, while taking no damage. also I use it to take out docked ships, they are very squishy to it.
Like @oaw117 said they provide a safe way of taking out targets from a safe distance. They can also fire smoke canisters which will allow you creep up on large enemy ships without being fired upon. This is useful if you need to get into torpedo range without taking too much damage.
Actually it has longer range then most of the defenses. At night in particular you can bombard them for quite a while before notice you. Taking out watchtowers helps too, i think.
You might want to switch back to the Lewis guns (or M2s if you can afford them) since you keep running into ammo issues. The main cannon weapons have a limited aiming arc and chew through your ammo rapidly, making them more of a powerful secondary weapon than a primary
I swapped my second medic to a gunner role. He's now a better gunner than a medic. My boat now cannot function without 3 gunners but it can with only 1 medic ( the XO). Good Hunting.
Are the hand weapons any good? Maybe you could shoot the landing boats with it when out of ammo? Or give the second gunner a BAR when you outfit your boat with just one weapon. Or just go full warhammer and have your entire boat be hand weapons
Why don't you use your torpedoes? I get that it's alot harder to hit small boats but it doesn't cost anything to reload them at base and u might as well, especially if you've ran out of amm9
Feels like a neat combo of Battlestations Midway, SIlent hunter 4 and Bomber crew. Only complaint with it is that it's too much action packed and would get stale quite fast for me. I always wanted PT boat game with long range missions of SH4 and that atmosphere of being on the high seas alone and being anxious to even encounter the enemy, cause they can easily damage or destroy you.
Stealth, I'm a long time fan of the channel but watching you sink a tender that spills a bunch of green confetti everywhere that you know from previous episodes gives budget, leaving the mission without picking it up and then saying "I really need this changed" hurts to watch. If you skipped it because you didn't care then fair play but you've literally bitched about income for the last two videos. There's several things like this being pointed out by viewers that are painful to watch and I can't tell if you're doing it to piss people off in comments or if you're genuinely high as a kite when you play games.

It's maddening there doesn't appear to be a way to stop the machine gun spaffing half the ammunition straight into a wave or targets already sinking.

Yeah good point. Stat doesn't count crew inventory
@@Stealth17GamingYou should put the ammo in the middle of the ship and not the front, as it will be closer, thus faster reloading
just realized you already did that.

Really looking forward to this series, scratches a similar itch as your War on the Seas videos did!
Guns have served me far better, don't be afraid to optimize your loadout. There've been a few times I grabbed depth charges for supply subs at bases.
I can imagine you might love Bomber Crew and its sequel, Space crew, keep up the great videos! 🎉🎉🎉
Once again a game you made me buy xD be careful btw. The challenge curve raises quite fast with what enemies you face no matter your loadout 👀
