Once the module reaches zero HP, it is destroyed. A destroyed module loses function until it is repaired overtime or uses damage control consumable.Įach module has a chance to damage and destroy it. The modules have two states: functioning and destroyed. There are multiple modules in-game: engine, propeller, torpedo tubes, main and secondary caliber turrets. As such, shells fired to strike the deck may be able to defeat the armor while those same shells may be incapable of penetrating the side armor of the target vessel. However, due to a large area that would have to be protected, battleships' deck armor is much thinner than the belt armor. In addition to belt armor, which protects battleships from direct fire, they also have deck armor that protects them from plunging fire-shells at extreme engagement ranges tend to hit the top of the ship. Keep in mind that bow shots tend to ricochet or no penetration.

As a rule-of-thumb, it is recommended to aim in the middle-upper of the ship (just below the smokestacks), when the player has a clear shot at the side of the ships. The citadel is normally located in the middle of the ship, and is roughly half the ship's length.
