I ask because I tend to see a lot of these overpenetrations being recorded and I'm a bit confused since I'm thinking that it means the shell when through the armor and then out the other side without exploding, but sometimes they seem to cause a lot of damage. Any help would be appreciated. By the way, I also asked this question over on the Steam forum but I don't know which place is the preferred location to go to for questions like this.

Thanks, that helps for my understanding.

When I mouse over an enemy I am shooting at, I sometimes see a display similar to what I've posted below: Am I to assume that the red is thickest armor, yellow in between, and green thinnest of the three? Is this just for informative purposes or would I use this information to make some decision? Maybe a dumb question, but what the heck, I might as well ask 😐

Thanks for the quick reply! I understand it better now.

I'm a bit confused about the damage schematic show in the upper right of the combat screen, so I thought I'd attach a screenshot and see if I have gotten my interpretations right. Note that the color of lines pointing out areas isn't relevant to what I'm highlighting, I just for some reason decided to make the four lines different colors🤔 So I'm thinking that yellow is damaged. Red I think is destroyed. The green has me a bit confused, since I see it pop up and I'm not sure whether is was something damaged then repaired, or it is just lightly damaged with no ill effects. And fire seems pretty obvious, those orange flickering bits seen in the yellow boxes. Am I correct on these, or could someone point out my misinterpretations? Thanks!

As an avid collector of history books, I've finally found a thread where I can make some useful additions! I would suggest anyone interested in warship design give a look at the books of David. K. Brown, (1928-2008), who was a noted British naval architect and author. Many of his books will list the author as D. K. Brown. Here is a Wikipedia page about him, listing his books. I have most of his books and thankfully a number of them are available as Kindle versions at quite reasonable prices. I have many of the Norman Friedman books and I'd say that books authored by Brown are more readable as Brown is more of a storyteller. However, they are still very technical (in a good way!) since Brown, being a naval architect himself, is mostly focused on ship designs as well as the historic development of technologies. For instance, the pages on ship stability for WW2 warships in Nelson to Vanguard: Warship Design 1923-1945 is one of the best discussions I've read on the subject.

I'm playing the Torpedo Basics mission and I am noticing something which I don't know if it is a bug or normal behavior. My two torpedo boats are in line ahead, fighting a battleship. I have set the torpedo firing mode to aggressive and the lead boat has responded by launching its torpedoes. However, the second boat, which seems to be in range and has the target bearing sufficient to allow launching, doesn't want to launch until quite a time after the first boat. I've seen this happen three times now. Am I just not noticing that something is delaying the second boat from launching, or is this a known issue? Thanks for any help. By the way, love the game😁. I saw the article over on Wargamer.com and just had to pick it up.
