There have been many changes in the game since the moment we released the series of “How It Works” episodes in which we talked about the spotting and detectability system. We’ve revised the old episodes in order to keep all the information up to date with the reality of the current game version, and have also combined them into one longer episode.

How do ships spot one another? What’s the difference between detectability range and spotting range? How is it possible for a ship to fire at an enemy without being detected? Learn answers to these questions and more, in the new episode of the most practical series on our channel!

How are the chances of fire calculated? How can you reduce a fire’s duration? Learn the answers to these questions and more in the new episode of the most practical series on our channel!
