Battlestations Midway, the war in your hands


Battlestations Midway, is certainly a breath of fresh air, after much waiting, we strategists can we be happy with this impressive hybrid between action games and real-time strategy [rts], Eidos certainly right with this recreation of the pacific war, but as usual, the game come to something afternoon to users mac [like me], and therefore composed this tutorial for all novices know how to handle in the battle, and thus create major conflicts without war need to wait for these to gain experience.

With this tutorial aim to teach played
res novice to the basics of Battlestations Midway on the game, First we must have an Internet connection to play online mode, there is a way offline, but is
ence of the game undoubtedly is the multiplayer mode. in this until we can play with four friends against four others, but if we want a less intense battle we can fight 3v3, 2v2, 1V1, and if that does not interest you try your skills in a spectacular 4v4. Before starting the battle choose our position in it: If we choose to start with an aircraft carrier is our responsibility to manage and control air strikes, but if we select a spring must produce ships and submarines, everything depends on our style of play.

Once we have chosen our unit or building, the first thing is to create vehicles for this purpose sift press, then after choosing the desired unity we will give you a "launch" and we can move to control it, every building or aircraft carriers can create 4 units at the same time . In the demo only 3 [note, the planes are squads in each there are 3 planes].
Here is a list of basic units:

At sea:
Patrol boat: Lightweight yet powerful, the patrol is an excellent escort, but did not serve in direct attacks.

Destroyer: One of the most common ships, is
and imposing ship has all sorts of weapons, is the perfect anti-Submarine, and has a considerable speed, but we do not recommend that attack alone.

Frigate: Two classes, small and large, this
ship of medium and long-range unit is an excellent attack, has 3 long-range guns and some anti-air systems, usually is an excellent vessel.


Battlecruiser: The most impressive and indestructible ship in the game, has a large number of cannons and heavy media, its structure is solid and sturdy, the only way to destroy it is concentrating a huge attack.

Aircraft carrier: Ship of air transportation, can launch up to 4 squads at the same time, their weaponry consists of a large number of anti-aircraft guns, unfortunately is slow and vulnerable to torpedoes.

Submarine: celebrity and the fearsome submarine
devastation frigates, sink cruisers and drills seabed, unfortunately is slow and vulnerable to destructive, but in the hands of experts will be unstoppable.

In the air:

Fighter: Fast and efective, is the perfect complement to attack and escort.

Torpedo bomber: devastating against boats, torpedo bomber is a key part of the war.

Bomber [bombs]: effective on large nunber, is the ideal aircraft for attack infrastructures.

Bomber [depth charges]: The Final escort of battleships, if currency a submarine not leave the trail.

Movement:
In a unity move, we will use w and s
to speed up, slow down or go backwards, while the a and d use it to rotate. The weapons sift with the change, then we'll use the mouse
to move the camera, and the left button to fire, the rollers give us the binoculars on the boat and what we will use the submarine to get the periscope, we'll use this to c to immerse f emerge, torpedoes and the periscope, only use it near the surface.

Repairs and maintenance: All vehicles, except aircraft, with parts destructible, after these damaged, was repaired from the panel of repairs has access pressing r. In it, in the upper left will present the passage, under it, will have the menu in which each party to assign a task of passage. If we tell them that a fire extinguished what, if water comes stamped
  the entry and another for flood
  stabilize the ship, but the record, this is only repair, not to provide an extra edge. On the right we will see the current state of the ship, its parts, the inflow of water, and the state of the complete structure, we must be careful, or we will lose the boat.

Map tactician:
In this map, which we can acces to it by presing
Tab, We will see all our buildings and units, since we can select the desired structure or, if we return
press tab proceed to control it directly, but if we stay on the map we can give orders from it, when selecting a unit can click on another button with the right to escort, but if we played our unity an enemy attack automatically. Of course we can devise formations
naval attack, select a naval unit
and click on another button to the right, so that we can make more strategic attacks.
For more information on naval formations recommend visiting strategy wiki, contains lots of tactics.



Strategic Ideas:
Cooperation is essential: Whenever possible contact with members of your team, coordinating attacks and be cautious is the key to victory, each must make your role as best they can, therefore choose either to put your start the game, each has its specialty, but it is best to know all types of vehicles.

Torpedos in sight!: The submarine may seem the best vehicle of the game, but it's like any other, has the advantage of going under water, but beware!, Oxygen is out in a few minutes, and when you have to leave at surface, want not be close to an enemy battleship!. Of course, is a key unit, and if used with precision can be devastating.

The importance of aviation: Whether for reasons of defense or attack, the air force is essential, if you have an aerodrome defend it with fighters, if you have an aircraft carrier, dig [well escorted] as much as possible until the area of attack or defense, the fighters have unlimited ammunition, but the bombers must recharge for every attack, and it is not advisable to make a long journey back, that could be shot down.

Right on target!: When driving a powerful ship as a battleship or cruiser, be careful when shooting, if you have to cope with an enemy not wasting ammunition, along with guns pointing, concentrating fire on points such as weapons, armoury , Or the bridge and plunge the enemy at a time, remember: A good shot is worth more than echo a whole battery of cannons firing uncontrollably.

This concludes the basic tutorial,i will extend it over time, and of course if someone wants to use a snippet of the text, please tell me, my mail is uburian@gmail.com, I do not mind that use, but I would like I knew that as the author of this,after all i worked hard on it.On the other hand, a cordial greeting to the community macgamers, always waits better times!
