FAQ: Equipment

▫️  1. How do I install the purchased equipment on the ship?

Once you have purchased equipment (e.g. missiles), go to the main screen and enter the "ships" tab (lower left of screen), then select the box with the missiles and the list of equipment (missiles) available for installation on the ship will appear at the bottom. This principle can be used for installation of any equipment.

▫️  2. What are flags and camouflages for in the game?

 Flags and camouflages are only for aesthetic purposes and don't give any advantages to the player in combat.

▫️  3. When will you add a country flag that is not currently in the game?

We are already working on adding all the flags to Modern Warships, but unfortunately we can't do it right away due to a technical limitation. As soon as we solve this problem, we will add new flags!

▫️  4. What's the difference between "Premium" (gold) ship and "Dollar" ship?

Premium ships provide bonuses to earnings: 

+20% dollar

+20% gold 

Buying premium ships is available at any level.

▫️  5. Torpedoes.

Available on all submarines, some ships, helicopters, aircrafts and assault ships. Can be used against all types of ships. Torpedoes have the ability to home in on a ship, but the ship can sometimes dodge the torpedo. The exception is the "RF Loon", which cannot be hit by torpedoes. Torpedoes have limited ammunition so use them carefully.

▫️  6. Cannon.

In-game artillery pieces range from small-caliber to large-caliber. Cannons are one of the main types of weapons, and come with unlimited ammunition. Shells tend to ricochet off the hull of the enemy ship when struck at an acute angle. Cannons are mounted on all types of warships and also on some aircraft carriers. Installation on submarines is not possible. Firing is by ballistic trajectory so you will need to adjust your aim based on the distance and motion of the enemy ship. Exceptions are railguns, which fire on a straight trajectory and at high projectile velocity. The further the enemy is, the greater the prejudice to the moving target.

▫️  7. Grenade launcher.

Grenade launchers are available on most warships and also on some aircraft carriers. They are effective at close range and medium range. You will find they are not very effective at long range. Grenade launchers are the only weapon that can effectively destroy torpedoes. Limited ammo.

▫️  8. Missiles.

Missiles are the main weapon used on most ships. They deal the most damage to the enemy, but can be knocked down by enemy air defenses, as well as by ""missile traps"". Missile armament is limited and varies by missile type.

▫️  9. Autocannons.

A type of weapon that the player cannot control. Autocannons automatically shoot at the nearest enemy unit whenever in range (depends on the type of autocannon). Armament is unlimited.

▫️  10. Air Defense.

Air defense is a means to counter enemy missiles and aircraft. There are various types of air defense: machine-gun, missile, and laser types. Air defense operate against different types of targets (missiles, planes, and helicopters). The greatest effectiveness of air defense is achieved when ships sail in groups. When a ship maneuvers, the effectiveness of air defense is reduced.

▫️  11. Helicopter.

Helicopters protect your ship from missiles, attack the enemy, increase RADAR range, and can locate underwater subs by using SONAR. Some helicopters can drop depth charges. Advanced versions of helicopters also have enhanced survivability and weapons capabilities. Available on all types of ships (except submarines) in quantities of 1. Helicopters are equipped with cannons which can shoot down enemy aircraft, mainly aiming in manual mode. Ammunition for all items on a helicopter is limited.

▫️  12. Attack aircraft.

Can be easily knocked down by enemy air defenses if they are within range. Attack aircraft are available only on aircraft carriers. The squadron's armament is limited. Strike aircraft can be reloaded and repaired by making contact with the recharge cone coming from their launching aircraft carrier.

▫️  13. Fighter.

A type of aircraft designed to fight against enemy aircraft. Can be easily shot down by enemy air defenses if caught in range.Fighters are available only on aircraft carriers. The squadron's ammunition is limited.

▫️  14. Drone.

Their armor plating an ammunition is limited. Drones can be reloaded and repaired by making contact with the recharge cone coming from their launching aircraft carrier.

▫️  15. Bomber.
