Secondary Armament in WoWs is an artillery weapon used to equip ships. It works automatically and is installed on battleships, aircraft carriers, and cruisers.
What is a Secondary Guns in the World of Warships in 2025
Guns like these are part of the Hull module. The number of them varies. The caliber is usually similar to destroyer or cruiser guns, but the range and damage are shorter. So, it is advisable to use the caliber when approaching the enemy. The projectiles are available only from fragmentation-fugitive. Secondaries are divided by varieties depending on their locations:
- Inboard – located to the left and right of the plane of symmetry of the ship;
- Central.
Note that when you start firing a gun, your ship acquires basic visibility.
Secondary Armament firing is automatic and sector-dependent. Let’s consider the issue in more detail:
The enemy ship is on the side | All guns on the side are firing along with the center gun. |
---|---|
The enemy ship is perpendicular to your board | Firing is done exclusively by the center guns. Onboard guns have a limited firing sector. |
Several enemies are close to your ship | The center guns prioritize the closest ship, while the onboard guns prioritize those closest to each side. |
Selecting the highest-priority target | All guns will go exclusively to the given enemy; the others will attack nearby targets if this option is available. |
Using the “Improved Secondary Armament Targeting” skill | Fire on priority becomes more accurate, and other targets have a standard parameter. |
Take these features into account when conducting combat. Thoughtful firing of auxiliary caliber can turn the tide of battle.
