What is better than knowing where a ship was last spotted? The name of the ship of course! Ship Names: This setting works great with the 'Last Known Position Markers'. Range Numerical Values: How far you can shoot and the range of your torpedoes (if you ship has them). The information this gives you can solve a myriad of different problems. Last Known Position Markers: ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS! Please make sure you turn this on. I usually have the mini-map as transparent as I can so I can still see in that corner of the screen. Water Transparency: This makes the mini-map see through =). You can use this to make the rings more prominent on the map.

Transparency of Circles: This lightens and darkens the circles. I personally don't use this because I don't play many ships with hydro, but again more information the better (if needed).

Hydroacoustic Search Action Range: Another ring that will show up if enabled on the mini-map. I memorize the distance of my secondaries (not always an option) but this is a nice visual to show it.ĪA Guns Firing Range: I find this setting to be a little outdated, was definitely better when ships like the North Carolina had varying levels of AA out past what it is now. Secondary Battery Firing Range: If you are in a battleships known for secondaries this is definitely something you might want to have turned on. I don't normally have this on in most ships but again this is more information you can use. You can access these settings by holding down 'control' and clicking on the cog at the bottom.ĭetectability Range by Sea: This is a setting that you should ALWAYS have on, this is the range you get detected at! This will put a circle on your map around your ship showing where you would get detected at.ĭetectability Range by Air: This is a great setting to have on when in a DD especially. Note* - These just happen to be the settings I had selected for these screenshots =).Īs you can see in the screenshots above, there are a multitude of settings/information that you can put on your mini-map. I am going to post a few screenshots of the settings and we can go over them real quick!

You can add rings for detection by air, detection by sea, AA range, and so forth. There are so many adjustments you can make to your mini-map to give you more information. The mini-map has evolved a lot since the beginning of the game. + and - keys will adjust the size of the mini-map. The mini-map is one of the most important tools to learn early in the game.
