This video is from a few years ago, and was before they added rocket planes firing there machine gun. Which was added to the game a few years ago when sub's were first being tested
Enhanced Aircraft armor better for the Russian CV or FDR its not really Need on others if you have good skill. But at the same time there isn't a necessarily a negative for taking it so ultimate its personal preference in what you think your skill is and weather you want it or not
Ya it do be like that. I would recommend if you haven't already done so is save your coal and get a t9 coal ship. Then just play the hell out of it to earn the credits.
how can you tell what the status of the enemy repair is? Is there an indicationt that tells you they repaired a flood vs the flood being repaired by auto/signals?
While you cannot tell how long a person DCP is active for, you can tell if its active by a pair of lights on either side of the ship on the conning tower which will be illuminated white while the DCP is active. Alternative if your the one who cause the flood then looking at your damage numbers is another good well to tell.
