Fire on Boats "Fall of the Samurai" Noob admiral needs help!

[APE ALLY]

Does anyone understand how fire works on boats? I have noticed myself that if you dont repair the boat when fire breaks it quickly becomes destroyed.

But can you move while you repair the boat, sometimes it seemes like i can and sometimes i cant???

And how does this repair thing work? Sometimes they repair in a few seconds and sometimes it takes ages.

Thanks for taking time

Hi, first, to avoid having fire on board, avoid to use "overheating engine" or you can put yourself the fire in your ship. Most of time, it's not worth it to use overheat engine to gain only 10% speed but with a risk of 25% to have fire.
- when you are repairing a ship, you can't move.
- About reparing time, if you repair your hull, it's fast, may be 5-10 sec, but if you repair to put out the fire, it will take more time, depending of the % of fire. (to see the % of fire, select in your game option "show all units stats").
- Sometimes use the repair tool in fight is not helpful since your ship can't shoot and so it will be an easy target. For ex. , if your fire is only 50%, don't repair, but keep on fighting.
- When you really need to repair (for ex Fire at 80-90%) i can give you a tip: Go in 1st person mode then press the repair shortcut, so you will be able to shoot and to repair in same time.

May this help you,

Salute.

when you are in game, go in game option and select "always show unit card" or something like that , then when you move your cursor on a unit you can see all its stat, damage or fire.
