they really need to remove the "bombarding" aspect of the destroyer because they don't do anything

Destroyers vs Subs: attack button doesn't work
I had an enemy sub attacking one of my subs. Sent in a near by destroyer to help out using the Attack button. The destroyer held off at range and started bombarding but no damage was happening to the enemy sub. After a couple of hours fussing around I found you had to manually move the destroyer to practically on top of the enemy sub to do damage.
You really need to fix this: using the attack button, destroyers need to move to the proper distance to actually attack subs rather than bombard distance that does no damage to subs. I wasted several mfrustrating hours trying to figure out why my Destroyers were not damage an enemy subs that the game was saying the destroyers were bombarding.

No, I think they should make destroyers have a bombarding value. Some destroyers actually had pretty big guns.

They don't do anything in this game though Pablo.

I know, but they should change that.

how do you imagine that? The destroyer deck guns firing, the projectile flies several kilometers, dives into the water, swims under water and gets into a submarine?

No, the guns just fire accurately. Maybe aim before hand? You mentioned nothing of aiming. Besides, a DE has torpedo tubes for taking out subs and stuff, I think.

Sandevot, I meant that destroyers should have bombarding value when bombarding troops on land. Anyhow, destroyers still had depth charges. Captain Johnny Walker sunk 15 submarines.

Destroyers sole purpose is to defend convoys from subs, they have deck guns but only for subs and other toys.

in reality a destroyer in 1932 could not drown the boat, even if he was in the same position. he had not seen or heard. eventually destroyers received more opportunities. but even in 1952 they could not sink the boat from a distance of more than 500 meters

Given the scale of the game, Destroyers should have the same range attacking either subs or surface ships; that said the attack button should automatically move the unit into range rather than me, having to fuck around and move them closer to attack, totally pointless.

Because the destroyers use in-game is escort and anti-sub, giving it an actual "bombardment" is kinda a pointless waste of effort, I like destroyers have SOME attack againts ships but because by game mechanic it's an escort it will stay an escort.
I still hope they at least give it a slight boost.

Yes, and also bombarding land troops.

I think you mean a ship. Boats are easy to sink, you could just ram it. With a ship, that would be much harder.Sandevot wrote:

Probably I incorrectly translated, sorry. I mean submarines are submerged.Butter Ball Bill wrote:
