===============================================================================
This is a complete list of all weapons found in Warship Gunner 2. Most parts
are listed in the order they appear in the technical reference guide.
The technical reference guide lists only the smallest version of a weapon
(e.g. 45cm, 1 barrel) so I've done the same here. That's because for any size
gun, there could be 7 different calibers and 4 different barrels. So, with
all the permutations, there are 518 guns. I'm not going to list them all here
since the FAQ would get too long. However, I do have them all in a giant
spreadsheet. If you'd like it for any reason, just send me an email.
Research requirements are outside the scope of this document. You'll notice
that the technical reference guide differs from the research tree in
terminology (e.g. some rockets are called flares) which may be confusing.
However, during ship design, it uses the topology I've listed here.
The Attack symbols represent the type of object the weapon can hit and how:
- Surface is any ship or land installation
- Anti-air is any aircraft (plane, helicopter, balloon, UFO)
- Submarine is any underwater ship or installation
- Auto-fire will fire automatically when placed in an auto-fire slot in your
weapons roster
- Underwater can be mounted on a submarine and fired while submerged at firing
depth
The Mount symbols show which ships can use the weapon.

Notation
========
Attack symbols:
S = Surface attack (SFC)
A = Anti-air (AIR)
U = Submarine (SUB)
a = auto-fire (AUTO)
u = underwater (UWW)
Mount symbols:
d = destroyer (DD)
c = cruiser (CA)
B = battleship (BB)
V = carrier (CV)
C = battlecarrier (BC)
f = frigate (FF)
s = submarine (SS)
Other abbreviations:
att = Attack
dam = Damage
rld = Reload time
rnds = Rounds
dis = Dispersion
rng = Range
wt = Weight
=========
Main Guns
=========
Main Guns will be a necessary part of your ship for most of the game, even
after completing it several times. They cause a tremendous amount of damage
even when compared to most High Tech and Optical weapons. Reload times are
generally low and most have a ton of ammo, which means you can rain down
shells on the toughest targets and take them out with ease.
Length analysis:
For any given size gun, for a 5 caliber increase, the gun's statistics change
according to this table of ranges based on the original statistics:
Damage Reload Time Rounds Dispersion Range Weight
+8%->11% -27%->+27% 0% -13%->-1% +1%->2% 10%-25%
In general, damage, range, and weight go up and dispersion goes down. As you
can see, there doesn't seem to be any pattern to the reload time.
The biggest changes happen with smaller guns (e.g. 10.0cm and 12.7cm). For
example, weight increases 25% and dispersion decreases 12% with each caliber
increase. Whereas on the 61.0cm gun, weight increases 11% and dispersion
decreases 3% with each caliber increase.
In most cases you'll want to get the biggest guns with the highest caliber
and most barrels possible. One gun with 4 barrels weighs significantly less
and takes up less deck space than 4 single barrel guns. However, some of the
really big guns (e.g. 100.0cm Gun) take up a lot of space, and putting 3-4
smaller guns will produce the same damage as a single large gun.
For example, a twin-hull battleship with 12 61.0cm, 75 cal, 3-barrel guns
doing 30k of damage every second (with a fast auto-loader) can cause more
damage in the same timeframe as 4 100.0cm guns.
Barrel analysis:
For any size gun, adding additional barrels changes the gun's statistics
according to the following table:
Barrel Damage Reload Time Rounds Dispersion Range Weight
2 +100% 0% +100% 0% 0% +100%
3 +200% 0% +200% 0% 0% +185%
4 +300% 0% +300% 0% 0% +260%
When the gun size is 14.0cm or less, the weight calculations get thrown off by
rounding errors.

Hi Angle
========
Hi angle guns are small light weight guns that are initially your first real
anti-air defense. They can also attack surface targets and be used in an
auto-fire slot, so they are a versatile weapon in the early stages of the
game.
An increase in caliber follows the same statistical changes as Main Guns.

Machine
=======
Machine guns are primarily a defensive weapon used to shoot down missiles,
rockets, torpedoes, mines, and aircraft. They should be your first choice in
an auto-fire slot. The more you have the better, but be careful of the 100
part limit for a ship.

Rapid
=====
Think of Rapid guns as giant machine guns. The Gatling Cannons are the size
of Main Guns and take up the space and weight of one as well. Even the
smallest 40mm Revolving Gun is rather large for a weapon. However, what rapid
guns lack in range and weight, they make up for with close combat carnage.
Reload times are faster than Machine Guns which means you can shower a close
target with hundreds of rounds in a matter of seconds. They can also be used
to knock out nearby aircraft and set as an auto-fire weapon.
They can be a fun addition to your big hulls, and depending on your style
of play (hit and fade vs. charge!) could be a useful tool. However, they're
too heavy to be a defensive weapon, and too short ranged to be an effective
offensive weapon in most circumstances.

High Velocity
=============
Similar to Rapid Guns, High Velocity guns are rapid firing machine guns with
a bigger punch. They tend to be smaller and weigh less, but fire a little
slower.
However, unlike Rapid Guns, High Velocity guns can be mounted on any hull type
making them a much needed surface addition to submarines and an alternative to
the 15.5cm Main Gun for small hulled ships.

Torpedo
=======
Torpedoes can only be used on destroyers, cruisers, frigates, and submarines.
For their size and weight, they pack a huge punch and will be a key weapon
for your smaller hulled ships in the early stages of the game.
Torpedoes, like Main guns, can have multiple barrels per armament. This
accounts for 149 different permutations of torpedoes. I've only listed the
smallest barrel amount (most are two barrel) as seen in the technical
reference guide.
In general, as you add barrels, reload time, dispersion and range do not
change and damage, rounds, and weight grow linearly. For example, on the
61.0cm Torpedo, damage is 256 (or 128 per barrel), therefore:
3 barrels will be 384
4 barrels will be 512
5 barrels will be 640
7 barrels will be 896

Mines
=====
Mines aren't a very useful feature in the game. Depth Charges are needed to
sink submarines in the first few missions, but Anti-Sub Rockets could be
easily researched to replace them.
Some people have suggested using mines to sink the Dual Crater, since it
travels on a predictable path. It does work, but I'm not convinced the money
isn't better spent on researching other weapons in the game.

Rockets
=======
All rockets are unguided armaments primarily for your destroyers and cruisers
in the early stages of the game. They are accurate at long ranges making them
useful for strategic strikes like on mission MED-B-330.
Like missiles and torpedoes, rockets can be shot down, making them a little
unreliable armament during a chaotic battle. Rockets are also immune to chaff
grenades (although the enemy doesn't use them).
The rockets you will end up using most in the game are the Chaff Grenade and
the Illumination Flare (found under Flare in the research tree). Chaff
Grenades are used to divert attacking missiles away from your ship, which
becomes very useful in the later stages of your first playthrough. A single
Chaff Grenade will attract all missiles away from your ship for about 30
seconds and avoid all their damage. Since it is not an auto-fire weapon, you
should put it in a slot one above or below the weapon you use the most so you
can switch to it quickly when you see a salvo of yellow triangles on your
radar.
The Illumination Flare has two purposes. First, on night missions, it will
illuminate a large portion of your surroundings so you can see your targets.
Second, similar to the Signal Flare, it will attract any nearby lifeboats
to your ship. Picking up survivors is an easy way to earn more points on a
mission. Once you get a digital enhancement system and picking up survivors
becomes too slow of a way to earn points, you'll eventually ditch the
Illumination Flare from your arsenal.
The Salute Gun, as far as anyone can tell, does nothing.

Missiles
========
You'll start to get missiles after stage EUR-D-290 and they'll be a welcome
addition to your arsenal. They are guided, often long range, supplements to
your Main Guns. They can be mounted on all ship types and the different
varieties will hit all targets.
Although the anti-ship and anti-sub missiles aren't as powerful as other
weapons, anti-air missiles (and RAMs) are an excellent replacement for your
High Angle guns and the ASROC will become your de facto anti-sub weapon for as
long as you play the game.
Drill Missiles and the Multi-Purpose missiles are useful when deck space is
limited such as on a frigate. They can be used to handle all threats, so
they can be used instead of switching between several different weapons.
However, if left in an auto-fire slot, ammo will run out fast so an ammo
assembler is recommended.
Cruise Missiles, High Explosive Missiles, and Cluster Missiles will be your
first real wide area of affect weapons. But be careful in close quarters
since your ship could be caught in the blast area.

Optical
=======
The Optical weapons subcategory unlocks after you find your first Pulse Laser 1
part which should be pretty far into your first or second playthrough.
All lasers have several negative attributes: they are extremely heavy, range
is limited, ammo is relatively low, and the reload time is fairly high.
However, they are all quick to the target and cause a good bit of damage.
The difference between the different Optical weapons is usually the way the
beam gets to the target. For example, the Crab Laser shoots two beams out
like an open pair of scissors, and then closes them together, hitting
everything caught in the middle. The Sil Laser will fire 4 parallel beams
along the water and then either go up to hit an air target, down to hit a
submerged target, or straight to hit a surface target.
The biggest problem with Optical weapons is usually by the time you get them
the enemy starts using EM Shields. This drastically reduces the damage your
weapon can cause. If you're playing on hard or higher, it pretty much makes
your Optical weapon useless against the big ships.
The Laser Pointer, found under the Missile research tree is used by an
aircraft carrier to direct aircraft to attack a specific target. It is not
an offensive weapon otherwise.
Although the Pulse Laser sounds like it should be the ultimate anti-air
defense, it doesn't have enough ammo to last through a tough battle. A
better weapon to replace your anti-air missiles is the Guided Particle Gun.
If you have an ammo assembler, the Pulse Laser is a lot more useful, but don't
ditch your Machine guns just yet, since Pulse Laser can't hit torpedoes or
mines.

High Tech Weapons
=================
High Tech weapons are the most powerful weapons in the game (and the most fun
to use).
The wave guns are extremely heavy, slow to reload, and have almost no ammo.
However, they can destroy targets outside of visual range, destroy almost
every ship with one shot, and almost never misses. There's a slight delay
after you press the trigger and when it fires, so you need to aim slightly in
front of a fast moving target (like the squid).
If you played the original Naval Ops, you'll be disappointed that the
Flamethrower and Railguns have been toned down a lot.
The Photon Gun and Magnetic Pulse Gun are the two weapons that will make your
frigate one of the most powerful farming ships in the game. Combined with
several Enigmatechs and an ammo assembler, you can cruise around at 150 knots
and destroy most targets before you're in range of their weapons. Toss in a
couple helicopters to pick up crates, and you can get through most missions
without even steering.
The Mysterious Gun is nothing but a replica of a cannon. As far as anyone can
tell, it serves no other purpose.

=========
Auto-fire
=========
A weapon listed as Auto-fire ("a" in the table) that is placed in an auto-fire
slot in your weapons menu will fire automatically at an appropriate target in
range. You initially have only one auto-fire slot, but can add more with
Auto Countermeasures systems. Most people put defensive armaments in the auto-
fire slots like machine guns.
It will fire at the first available target, even if other guns are firing at
it, or if other targets come in range. It will continue to target it until it
is destroyed, goes out of range, or outside its firing arc. This can be bad in
some circumstances.
For instance, if you're bombarded with airplanes and torpedoes, you'd prefer
your machine guns shoot down the torpedoes rather than follow around an
airplane for 30 seconds. Even worse is when you put anti-air missiles in an
auto-slot. Because of the delay between firing the missile and the moment it
hits the target, you'll end up shooting dozens of missiles at a single
airplane, when one would have been enough.
Holding R2 (engagement mode) will fire all auto-fire weapons in all slots
regardless if it's in an auto-fire slot.
Enigmatech h (eta), will fire all weapons in all slots even if the weapon
doesn't normally auto-fire. However, the rate at which each weapon fires is
at the original reload speed, even if you have an Auto Reload system. This
does not affect non-offensive weapons like the Laser Pointer and flares.
Weapons that are trying to hit a moving target will improve if your ship has
a higher command. It's also believed that a higher command will allow your
guns to target more enemies at the same time, although this is hard to verify.
If you end up putting a lot of a single weapon on a ship consider splitting
them over multiple slots. If you put 40 CIWS on your ship, you'll max out at
99999. But if you split them over 2 slots, both slots will have 99999,
effectively giving you twice as much ammo.
=========
Placement
=========
Each weapon will take up a certain amount of horizontal and vertical space.
Sometimes a hull's size and configuration make it difficult to fit the
armaments you want or need to have a successful ship. As you move things
around you need to be aware that most weapons will change your armor rating.
Your armor rating is the percentage of the ship that needs to be covered by
armor, and thus, the total weight of armor. Engines and structures also affect
it, but you'll find it difficult to fit all the weapons on a ship without
increasing armor weight significantly.
In general, machine guns, hi-angle guns and non-offensive rockets do not
increase your armor rating.
Placing weapons next to each other does not usually affect their firing angles.
Even a weapon placed right in front of a Catapult will not affect either
aircraft take-offs or the weapon's angle of fire.
However, pairs of guns, such as Main Guns, will affect each other. When side
by side, guns will limit the rotation of each other. So, although you might be
able to train 6 Main Guns straight forward, you'll only be able to fire 3 of
them broadside.
===========
Final Notes
===========
There are definitely a lot of weapons in Warship Gunner 2. There are nearly a
1000 permutations altogether. Some are useful, some are fun, and some are
pathetic. There really isn't any special formula for which weapons you should
use to win. If you're having difficulty on a mission, try using some other
combination. Take the time to try them all in different circumstances. After
a while you'll start to gravitate toward certain kinds that work with your
style of play.
