related issue link of Bismarck training range
Currently in the game, the Casar battery of Bismarck has only ±135 degrees of training range, which forces you to sail at a heading angle of 45 degrees to achieve a salvo. However, such training range is unrealistic and unhistorical, since many sources state that ALL FOUR TURRETS HAVE ±145° of training range, including blueprints of the Bismarck class and Anatomy of the Ships series. Navweaps and kbismarck also state that all the turrets can achieve ±145° training range, without the “unique” training range of Casar battery.
I also provide a screenshot from World of Warships, where all turrets can fire at ±145°. It can be clearly seen that there is nothing to block the turret by 10 degrees.
