It seems many people are saying that this upgrade is useless and I would like to know exactly why. I've seen many threads saying the same answer but they are all mostly outdated ones, so I decided to post this thread and ask you guys by myself. So, from what I see in the WOWs wiki, it says this in the upgrade description: +50% to range of assured acquisition of enemy ships +20% to maximum acquisition (spotting) range (for both ships and torpedoes) I know that the second one is that you see ships and torps at a further distance and earlier (is this right, because it would help me a lot to spot torps faster as I am a pure BB player). But I am not sure about what the first one means so can you guys help to explain it to me so that I can decide on what to get when I get the Yamato (I love her but I'm still low tier). Also, can you guys recommend me on what commander skills for the 5 rows to get for BBs in general. Well my current decision is to go like this: 1.Basics of Survivability (-15% to passive repair time, firefighting, and recovery from flooding) 2. Expert Marksman (+0.7 deg/s to the traverse speed of guns with a caliber above 139 mm.) 3. High Alert (-10% to reload time of the Damage Control Party consumable.) 4. Advanced Firing Training (+20% to firing range of primary guns with caliber of up to 139 mm. / Manual Fire Control for AA Armament (For Yamato) +20% to firing range of secondary guns of any caliber. +20% to AA defense firing range.)5.Jack of All Trades (-15% to reload time of all consumables.) / Manual Fire Control for Secondary Armament (for Yamato) (Are the manual fire control upgrades it worth it cus in the wiki it says if you don't manually select a target the secondaries/aa won't fire at all at anything) Thanks for all yours responses in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
