Asked: handy command keys for playing Battleships

[DaOrange]

Just a question:

 

Can you guys post handy command keys for playing BB's? I know 1:

 

left shift + x to lock your guns to a certain map area.

 

thx in advance

ALT - to see the the distance to the point where you are aiming + the time it will take the shell to get there

[f34rYz]

CTRL+SHIFT+X lock to zone

P = AA on/off

Torpedo: X calculate target

CTRL+G HUD toggle

 

idk if there is more, i rarely use them.

1 - change to HE ammo

 

2 - change to AP ammo

 

A - turn left

 

D - turn right.

 

W - speed up

 

S - reduce speed

 

(double) Left click - fire cannons.

 

[self assigned key] - mark targets for allies

 

 

Did I miss any?

'S' to slow down. I'm not even joking, it's so underrated. As long as there's no imminent danger of torps and planes, it's often pointless to go full speed ahead when playing aggressively - slowing down and keeping your angles, sometimes even moving backwards helped me a bunch. Obviously that's very situational, but also you can beach yourself intentionally to avoid some torps. 

 

There's also the right mouse click by default I believe, which zooms out away from your ship. If you're constantly zoomed in and have problems with tunnel vision (running into ships, not paying enough attention), then start using it.

 

Spam '+' to turn your mini map into mega map, if you don't have 200% eyesight.

Double tap ammo type button to switch ammunition without firing, single ap to swith ammo after next shell/broadside is fired.

Hold right mouse button to rotate the camera in any direction without turning your turrets. Let go of the right mouse button and you'll be returned to the direction in which your turrets are facing. Ctrl+x works better for me though.
