![]() ![]() These are sleek, very fast boats, well-armed with torpedoes, depth charges and 20mm antiaircraft guns, and are capable of engaging any target, be it in the air, on the sea or below it. Official Description: There are several PT (Patrol Torpedo) boat designs in service with the US Navy, but the most common one is the 80 foot long model built by the Elco Boat Company of New Jersey. If their island is threatened and you have a lot of points to spend, consider buying a large swarm of Elcos and have them turn their torpedoes onto the enemy warship. En-masse, they can easily sink battleships. Their torpedoes are then turned on enemy warships when they appear.Įlcos and Gyoraiteis both provide a lot of firepower for their price. Elcos, being cheap to employ in Island Capture, are often sent to capture nearby islands. The machine guns seem slightly less accurate in Pacific. Elcos are still vulnerable to machine gun fire, and against any competent pilot are sitting ducks. A general torpedo change now dictates that Elcos can no longer rapid fire torpedoes - it takes about half a second between torpedo shots now. Its speed is slightly slower, but it is now more akin to the Gyoraitei, which has had a few firepower increases itself. ![]() The Elco remains virtually unchanged from Midway. 26 Troop Transport/Armed Merchant CruiserĪA Weapons.Prefer the AFT for added 20% main gun range of 13+km and added AA gun range. ![]() HE damage totals are much better with IFHE. I am almost tempted to drop CE as she is an island fighter so unless driven into open water isn't really useful other than getting your detection from planes down to roughly equal to her AA bubble.ġ4pt captain on my Atlanta and I use IFHE instead of CE skill since she already has decent concealment. ![]() My main question is do you find IFHE worth it? It would give her the ability to pen 27 mm of armor so effective against plating of T7 and below BBs, but also give you the ability to pen up to T9 cruisers that have 25 - 27 mm of bow/stern armor. With my love of US DDs and complete comfort with their rainbow arcs it was a perfect fit.Ĭurrently I run PT, AR, BFT, AFT, and CE and working on my 16th pt. With the Atlanta being back up for sale I couldn't resist adding her to my port. ![]()
