When in command of a ship, use the camera controls to look around. This is also how you aim your weapons. To fire on an enemy, just put your cursor over the enemy target and open fire. Use your binoculars to view distant targets. Warships have 4 kinds of weapons - only destroyers | When in command of a ship, use the camera controls to look around.

*'''Anti-Aircraft''' weapons, the smallest guns on your ship, are obviously meant for taking down enemy aircraft. They also, however, can be used against patrol boats in particular given their very low armour. AA does no damage against anything larger than a PT boat. | *'''Anti-Aircraft''' weapons, the smallest guns on your ship, are obviously meant for taking down enemy aircraft.

Note that depth charges are the ''only'' way of striking a submarine underwater as a warship - torpedoes run too shallow to strike them. It is possible, however, to sink an enemy submarine as a submarine, while both are submerged. It is difficult at long range but not impossible. Doing so earns players the Submarine Hunter-Killer achievement. | Note that depth charges are the ''only'' way of striking a submarine underwater as a warship - torpedoes run too shallow to strike them.
