3. About Game / Battleship FAQTop>

Q1: What is a ship tree? A : Different countries have different types of ships. In order to buy an upper class ship, you have to upgrade the ship tree. There is a specific order for buying specific ships. For example, if you buy an aircraft carrier, you cannot buy a battleship. The ship tree does not allow these types of exchanges. Q2: I want to have both aircraft carriers and battleships, can I do that? A : Yes, you can. It is possible if you have two types of operators (e.g., one USA and one Japanese). There are limitations to this type of exchange. You can only have a certain number of sailors in each account. Be careful! Q3: I have earned enough points and level to buy ships and have decided that this is what I want to do. The system states that there are no ships in stock. What should I do? A : More ships will be available when a new patch comes out. Or, you can get them by trading with other players. The best solution is to check the "patch/update schedule" often. Q4: What is a ship displacement? A : There are three kinds of displacements: basic, standard, and maximum displacements. Basic displacement is the shifting of an empty ship. Standard displacement is the shifting of a ship with basic weapons. Maximum displacement is the shifting of a ship that holds the maximum load without sinking. Q5: How is the repair cost set? A : The repair cost is fixed by the size of the displacement. The bigger the displacement needs, the more money is needed to make repairs. Q6: What are the empty spaces above the ship in the shipyard? A : The empty spaces are for sailor's assistants. The sailor's assistants are primarily responsible for making repairs. Q7: I cannot load any shells after buying a new cannon. A : Every ship has its own maximum load amount. Cannons also have a required load amount. Therefore, if you buy a cannon that requires a heavy load amount you will be unable to load any shells into that cannon. Q8: I bought a torpedo tube, but I can only load one torpedo. A : If you see 'Weapon Load Capacity' in the ship spec and it equals '0' then you cannot load any torpedoes. If you see a "0" then you need to upgrade the weapon's load capacity. Q9: What is remodel? How do I do this? A : "Remodel" means to upgrade your ship for better performance. You can find this feature in the middle of the lower corner of the shipyard. Q10: What is the fee for selling a ship? A : You will receive 100% for body and armor, and 2% charges on the rest of the equipment. Q11: Do I receive a remodel fee when I sell the remodeled ship? A : No. You do not receive a remodel fee, but you receive some tactical points. Q12: Is there an aircraft carrier too? How does it attack enemies? A : Yes. There is an aircraft carrier, and it attacks with bombers or torpedo bombers.

A : The basics of all ship operations are the operator and gunner. You need to change the occupation of the gunner first. Making this occupation change initially will make your game playing easier down the road. Q5: Is it possible to mix sailors from different countries? A : Yes. When countries are allied with each other, all of sailors will receive the same exp (Great Britain - USA and Germany - Japan). If the sailors are not allies, then they only receive partial exp. Having sailors receive partial exp might eventually hurt your exp. Q6: Sailors disappear suddenly. What's going on? A : Sailors disappearance occurs when you take your sailor off of the ship or when you sell your ship. If you restart the game, this problem will be resolved.

Q9:How many points are needed to change my sailor's class? A : It depends on what country you are playing in. Q10: What types of abilities does a captain receive? What about sailors? A : Most of sailors receive marked abilities. Sailors with no marked abilities, such as signalmen and engineers, receive potential abilities. Q11: Are deck officers and sailors from different countries granted the same deck abilities? A : If they are not in same country then specific abilities are not applicable. Q12: What is the difference between a repairman and a restorer? A : A restorer delays the ship from being sunken by damage. A repairman fixes the damage. When there is a good match between a repairman and restorer, your ship will be repaired very quickly. Q13: Does a sailor's ability decrease when his class changes to deck officer? A : His ability does not decrease. Rather, his unit ability switches to a percentage. When the job of deck officer rises, the abilities of the other sailors also rise. This shift in ability is measured by a percentage increase or decrease.

5. About Game / Game Room FAQTop

You must have at least 20,000 points after trading. Q4: I played with my friend in an All-In room, but we both lost credits after a battle. Is this an error? A : There is no draw in Navy Field. Therefore, if both parties do not fight and leave the room then both parties are considered to have lost the battle. Q5: Can we make our own rules when we create a game room? A : Yes, you can.

Players have to take good aim when using these types of shells.

Q1: Even though I destroyed all of the enemies, it says I lost the battle. A :Overall, the number of ships you destroy does not determine your success or failure in a battle.
