'''Fire Damage''' appears to have changed slightly from Midway. Ships' fuel tanks are no longer explosive but are still flammable. Targeting the fuel tank will cause a fire, which will slowly drain the ship of its health. Sustained fire won't appear to rupture the fuel tank as before. Instead, this feature has been moved to the ships' magazine. The magazine is no longer flammable, but instead explosive. Targeting the magazine will result in a large explosion that will heavily damage the ship. It is possible to detonate the magazine multiple times. Magazine shots are the best way of taking down large battleships. | '''Fire Damage''' appears to have changed slightly from Midway. Ships' fuel tanks are no longer explosive but are still flammable.

'''Water Damage''' appears when your ship strikes a torpedo, or when shells pierce the belt armour. Water begins rushing into your ship and increases its likelihood of sinking. Press the repair button and choose the uppermost option to begin pumping water out of your ship and help keep it afloat. | '''Water Damage''' appears when your ship strikes a torpedo, or when shells pierce the belt armour.

The underwater section of your ship is your health bar (see the [[Battlestations:_Midway/Ship_Tactics|ship tactics page from the previous game]]) so don't worry about sinking randomly. Only fire damage will do that. | ||
'''Engine Damage''' will cripple your ship's ability to move, rendering it extremely difficult to manoeuvre. Considering your engine is right in the middle of your ship, it is often struck by inaccurate shots. On ships, this will be the option at the bottom of the repair screen. | '''Engine Damage''' will cripple your ship's ability to move, rendering it extremely difficult to manoeuvre.
