Just be careful because sometimes (1/4) the CIWS is on the back, in which case the blind spot is on the front instead! Have to go up and over, dodging another missile on the way!
@@prototek100 Sometimes you don't have the luxury of torpedoes, and air attacks take out naval faster and more reliably then torps. In PvP speed and efficiency count. But yeah, it does get a bit dry after a while and it helps mixing things up in the sandbox. If they really wanted to get Mad then they'd use petrels to do combat drops of bears in the water to hunt swordfish.
Thanks, this was very helpful. Took just a few tries to get the hang of it, and it's so much faster than trying to mess with torpedoes :D It's also one of the few ways to fairly reliably get more money from salvage than you lose to ammunition; 200/300 salvage for the cost of just 20 (for two light bombs) and a bit of fuel is really nice. Not to mention it's available from the very start of the game, so you can fairly easily tackle a three-shield island as your first conquest if you want to (unless you go with minimal loadout, of course :D ).
@@GrimReapersNavalOps , *salutes colors, salutes captain* Thanks for having me. Looking forward to seeing you and your crew do a full playthrough. Let me know if you need extra hands.
I think we all go through a phase of thinking that the game balance is wayyy off when we first come across swordfish. They aren’t so bad once you know what you’re doing. I’ve done three anti-ship videos now and hopefully these will help! -Thumblegudget
This is awesome. I just spent a full third of my torpedos on a 3 shield island protected by 2 needlefish and a swordfish, I thought I was toast especially after my noise maker didn't seem to dissuade their torpedos. @@GrimReapersNavalOps
Hahaha, that hall/reverb when you were on the hangar deck killed me! Good one, dude! 😂👍
Didn't know the swordfish had that CIWS blindspot! I'm definitely going to be using those missile evasion methods.

Fantastic tutorial. Love how you even go into the hangar deck to show off the load out
Thank you for this. I love this game so much.

That missile evasion is killing me. It goes against all my VTOL vr experience.
Those are some brilliant naval wargaming/ simulation shenanigans! LOL Well done, sir! You have my sub.
Welcome aboard!

How did you detect the incoming missile at 8:24, and how did you know where it was coming from/in what way to maneuver?
I thought for you guys the best way to do anything in the air is to give Kortana a buzz :)
Nice tutorial!
I just got this game and gosh Im getting owned by ships

PETREL.
lol, is this a request to kill a swordfish from a Petrel? Are kills from an Albatross, Manta and Razorbill not enough?!
