New mechanic: Anti-ship missiles

The first missile destroyer, Hamburg (Rank V), equipped with four MM38 Exocet missile launchers, will soon be available to players.

To utilize this formidable weapon, you must aim it at an enemy ship, lock onto the target, and fire! The missiles, featuring homing heads, will then track the target until impact. It is important to consider the position of your ship and the target for a successful hit. If there is an obstacle in the path of the missiles (e.g., an island) or the target is too close, the missiles won’t reach the enemy ship due to their specific trajectory.

The German destroyer Hamburg comes equipped with anti-missile defense countermeasures. When enemy missiles approach, deploy decoys to divert the missiles away from your ship. Note that decoys burn up and dissipate quickly, so it’s crucial to choose the right moment to use them.
