DD in Bombardment TF not bombarding

Post by KPAX »

I have DDs in Bombardment TF with BBs and CA/CL TF. But they will not bombard. I have the range set to zero an and still nothing .... Must be something easy I am missing ....

Did you set the switch on the TF screen to allow escorts to bombard?
It is set to default to "No escort Bombard" You need set it to "Escorts Bombard"

Once you follow the other peoples advice be aware that DD's use their 5" guns as anti aircraft weapons as well as ship defense so they will not completely unload during a bombardment, they will save part of their ammunition for further combat.

Range zero is not 0, but default. Maximum range for secondary weapons. Set it to 1.
