How Many Machine Guns can Stop a Cruise Missile? | HighFleet Builds 

Ship crew: “Detected missile inbound” Also Ship crew: Start load guns at few seconds before missile strike.

I never took the time to formulate a good anti-missile strategy even though most game-ending scenarios I've faced were attributed to those stupid KH-15s from those stupid strike groups. This analysis is priceless. Thank you.

It's good to see someone still doing high fleet content. I just started getting good at the game recently, so it's nice to see people who are on the current patch set

ate the vympel luv me 2a37 simple as

I always wait as long as I can before opening fire. This minimizes spread, but you still need to fire soon enough to empty the magazine. Your early burst could get lucky and help, but if you aim is on point, it shouldn't be required. All in all, good shooting.

You can down almost any non-nuclear missile with 5x2A37 consistently. The trick is not only the number of guns, but also their placement. My 4x MLRS Brick has 4x 2A37 on each side and one on top. The ship has a vertical brick shape, so when a rocket flies from the side - the distanse of the perfect half-salvo is almost palpable.

Bro I made your strike fleet killer and it makes the game so much easier (and fun) I just began playing and I was really confused and had no idea what I was doing till I watched your videos. I really hope you get more attention bro you deserve it

12:09 As long as you get control of that ship.

Ty for this!

57mm shells need proximity fuse, that would make them amazingly good

On big combat ship you need to add A-100 guns battery in addition то vympel battery to have a handy burst fire component, and you be fine. This is most practical, good weight\firepower combo.

I found the 3a37 is best for the real time combat as a anti R5 zennith defence and the vympel is good against cruise missiles because of that one hit potential

Test the the distance next. How far away can you destroy the rocket? If it is nuke you want it to be further away from your ship!!!

Is there a chance you can do a video about a dedicated AA build to intercepts missiles with? I am a very new player (just started 2 days ago) and after getting my whole fleet decimated by missiles I could use an AA-craft that I just detach from the main fleet and have the missile target it.

AK-100 and proximity ammunition is the best. 100 mm Proxy ammo is really cheap and with just 6 of these canons you get almost everything shot down, bonus, that a ship with 6 canons can be build small enough to defend against the (dootdoot) Zenith missiles with flares.

the real problem with machinegun pd is if there is another ship and the CM goes after that one.... its useless lol.

I wonder how cost effective it will be to buy and carry around the 8gun anti cruiser ship, compared to using 2 or 3 AA pods per cruiser defense on a non dedicated ship.

Is that a firing sound mod I hear? Sounds great! What is it?

Ok i have a question, why didn't you fire the gun when the missle first pop on the screen? Like why you wait for it to when half way then fire???

Does this still work if the rockets are going to hit a different ship thats not the one with the AA 37's?!

Great experiment! But is this 1.16 or 1.15 version of the game you are running?

Thx, how about testing 4+4? ^^

Can we shoot down Ballistics missiles? [R-3]

Whats the best way to deal with nuclear rockets?

now compare with prox fuse and spirits.

Sometimes i sacrifice the weakeast ship to body block a cruze missile

Test is garbage because i can shoot down nukes reliably with 6x vympels at medium distance. The difference is the gun positioning, you lay them in line but that narrows your firing beam too much, try 2x left 2x up 2x right around 2x2 space in center same as big engine/cannon mounting piece. Bit of practice and you will be surprised. I have found that even 10 or 20 in double line of 57mm's arent sometimes wide or concentrated enough beam to shoot down nukes before too close if u aren't lucky. 6x in the shape i described proved to be minimum for reliable interception and using more has quite diminishing returns. Also its somewhat easier to shoot down nukes while flying than landed because they seem to fly a lot more straight and you can back off a bit. Everything i said only works if you built ship with nuclear airburst in mind, for me that means 2 or 3 layers of plane deck on sides and top covered with light armor or some variation of that and of course strong and stable landing gear, blast alone can trash ships sending them rolling cause you bought cheap flimsy legs. Any aluminium hull or exposed modules are Instant loss. 2a37s were way too late to put out enough fire to bother, ak100 has too slow and innacurate projectile so even if you hit with a massive salvo its gonna be close. Other guns are just too slow. Proximity fuses on ak100 help but then its a case of annoying game mechanics to make sure there is enough special ammo with the ship and it gets loaded, another kind of uncertainty. Also i must add that your aiming was really bad, missiles fly under your aim and you never adjust. Edit: i eventually found out that one layer of flydeck and two layers of armor scheme made of lightest armor triangle set up like in one of the videos on this channel, dont know which, works phenomenal. Ships like this are taking close nuke bursts on average maybe 6 to 8 nukes or even more in a row without major damage. Also upping from 6 vympels that are minimum to 8 gets you reliable interception and considerable counter barrage protection, that stuff is worth few layers of armor alone and can even shoot back. It has problem to get through enemy armor but add something bigger like 4x ak100 to the mix and vympels bite and tear through the cracks into ammo and fuel in quick order.

Why use so many machine guns when a single 180mm prox fuze round can do the job ;). ( Im joking it is as unreliable as it gets)

Me who casually using Molot Fragments: 🗿🗿🗿

Honestly just use prox fuse and sprints. Normally if i run out im just fcked

now do nukes

Hello Love your vids, Just wanted to point out (I hate to be that guy but) These are not 'Machine guns'. The 2A37s are *CIWS* or *C-RAM* systems, or if we're talking specifically about the gun itself it's technically a *Rotary Cannon*. While the AK-725 Vympel (which Btw is a real naval gun and exists IRL) is a *Twin Barreled Autocannon*. I just wanted to point this out since Highfleet itself is about being as realistic and detailed as possible. Just so you know machine guns have quite a strict definition, it varies but the general point is this: Machine gun is an automatic small arm meant for sustained periods of continuous fire, chambered for a full powered rifle cartridge Ex: (from 7.62x51mm, 7.92mm Mauser ranging to things like 50. BMG and 14.5x114mm) If you have something that fits the definition of a machine gun but uses a less powerful cartridge (Like 5.56 NATO, 5.45x39mm and even pistol calibers) then that's a SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) OR if it fits the definition of a machine gun but fires a shell (Basically 20mm or bigger) then that's an Autocannon.
