There are two classes of torpedoes:
homing and dumb-fire. Homing
torpedoes sense the target and home
in on it through the water with their
built-in homing radar. Dumb-fire
torpedoes don’t have homing
capabilities and therefore depend on
your accuracy as a gunner. It is best
to “lead” the target with dumb-fire
torpedoes, aiming slightly ahead of
the enemy’s present location, and
along the path in the direction they
are heading.

SECONDARY WEAPONS
Secondary weapons have limited ammunition that is replenished
through re-arm power-ups. Boats can have zero, one, or multiple
secondary weapons. Some of the secondary weapons damage your
own boat if fired while partially submerged. Be careful in
rough seas!
ROCKET LAUNCHER
There are two classes of rockets:
homing and dumb-fire. Homing
rockets sense the target and home
in on it through the air with their
built-in homing radar. Dumb-fire
rockets don’t have homing
capabilities and therefore depend
on your accuracy as a gunner. It is
best to “lead” the target with dumb-
fire rockets, aiming slightly ahead
of the enemy’s present location,
and along the path in the direction
they are heading.
DUMB-FIRE
Description
:
High-damage, dumb-
fire weapon.
Range
:
Medium.
Pros
:
Great for slow-
moving or stationary
targets.
Cons
:
Not a precision
weapon at long
distance.
HOMING
Description
:
High-damage weapon
with homing
capability.
Range
:
Medium.
Pros
:
More successful on
fast-moving, short-
range targets than the
dumb-fire version due
to its homing
capability.
