Ammo Guide | Damage System | Ammo Types | Highfleet 

What a special game this is. On the surface the gameplay elements seem reasonably straightforward but there are so many additional layers that only become apparent when you play for longer. Already ploughed 48 hours into it and it’s sooo good and always discovering something new

Hey great video as the others. However I want to add a little something on your notes. "Lost control" actually refers to the loss of all thrusters on ONE side of the ship (either starboard or port). In your exemple, the nomad lost both the fixed and manoeuvre starboard thrusters. Dynamic is referred to a loss of mobility/manoeuvrability but I am not sure yet if that's because for loss of electricity, thrusters or both. The cruiser you one shoted was because you hit the ammo boxes that exploded to which was attached...the bridge. Fire in this game is actually OP for 2 reasons: 1- it damages all components quite quickly which can wreck ships very fast 2- fire makes thrusters overheat very fast. IA ships are not shooting or aiming properly when they are on fire which makes for much easier fights. For this reasons incendiary is actually on of the best rounds when you see how cheap small calibers can be. I would recommend all players to take an intrepid ship in the editor and let it catch fire and try to use it without extinguishers. What happens is very eye opening. Finally I would disagree with you on the fuel tanks question concerning larger ships. It's actually possible that fire is so spread out that you can't extinguish it anymore, no matter how many FFS you still have on board. I actually got the situation twice and could comfirm it on AI ship a third. Hitting those big tanks is actually a very efficient way to keep the fire coming (remember that a ship on fire will actually do nothing until it can extinguish). It's although a slower one compared to critical hits using AP or guided. Hope this can help other players to reach Khiva :)

Thank you for the video! As for proximity rounds - I am new player but found them to be quite effective against small unarmored ships - much easier to hit, and without armor protection airburst rounds shred them.

I really like your concise, no nonsense style! Helps me tons!

For laser guided ammo, the benefit largely comes from the fact that all rounds focus on a point target. Normal ammo will fan out the further it travels and hit a ship all over it's surface. Laser ammo will hit the same spot with every shell in a single salvo, thus the first few rounds will remove the armor, and the following shells will enter the breach created. Normal ammo does not consistently hit the exact same spot on the targeted ship

Proximity is actually a great ammo for your first entry combatants. Basically for use as skirmishing. I use it to destroy incoming missiles and destroy missile and missile defence of larger warships at the onset of major battles. My first two light ships with big proximity guns like a meteor will fly around forcing the enemy to launch all their missiles which I will destroy with the air burst rounds and then I will do fly bys strafing the larger ships missile decks which are usually grouped together. Then I will retreat the unit. Then I will have a gepord with incendiary ammo start fires and retreat. Finally my main combatants will enter with Armor piercing rounds. I will not have to waste my AP rounds for point defence and can concentrate on avoiding fire and making my expensive ammo hit because the enemy has no usable guided projectiles and will die shortly as they will burn up from the incendiary rounds even if I don't shoot them.

Yes! Been waiting for this one! XD

8:55 In the frame-by-frame you can see the nomad's remaining 7 ammo boxes disappear, which matches the Ammo Explosion - 7 on the kill notification. I think what happened is your 57mm snuck through the armor gap in the nomad's center bottom R-5 rack and detonated one of the ammo boxes. Not sure why it didn't explode the damage R-5 sitting in the way.

Generators are also an extremely good target to destroy, if you hit enough the enemy doesn't have the power supply for the guns, hence it stops firing

Appreciate your work! Can you update your guide about AP ammo? Because a lot of people say AP ammo is OP since the latest patch.

From my experience laser guided does more damage then HE (about comparable to a tac missile) all the other stuff seems good though

AP ammo from 180mm can penetrate straight through smaller ships and hit a 2nd target behind it, if lined up correctly, I've done it a few times however penetration is greatly reduced on 2nd target, which makes sense, round is traveling slower after first ship

There has been some major armor rebalancing in the beta branch. Interested to see what's that all about. Sadly, no specifics were provided, only that it's substantial.

Can you switch between all types of calibre specific munitions in your inventory during battle? Or just the special ammo you choose prior and HE?

Proximity airburst is good for taking out missiles

That intro!

you can turn the radar off?
