The default Battleship Antennae is notorious for being blown off when taking serious damage, and said battle damage will often take out radar panels as well, making the BB blind. Even if you restore it, it is very likely to be blown off again as well. conversely, the extra CR70 in that bottom slot tends to avoid the worst of the damage, and ensures that you can at least get sensor data from frendlies with greater reliability. I dont recall a CR70 dying in that location in like, ever. Take this video for example, the default one dies to the first torpedo volley, but the second one survives the second strike. Although, this also means that if you feel you can manage threats well, you can put something else there you want to be safe. Like bullseye for example, or defender. VLS-1-23. Whatever really.
I didn't expect to get Rick Rolled in this video, but it made me chuckle.
Looks like a ton of fun but my God I don't think my brain is wired good enough to keep up with the massive amount of controls.
I'm surprised how little time you spend in tac view.
Now I want to play a 450/120mm Solly, too
11:22 What’s the dust?
Chaff. Missile countermeasure.
is 120mm good enough for PD? I haven't seen a set up like that until now.
well, two missile volleys at the end pretty much answer your question xD
why the extra antenna?
