Im not expecting much for another few weeks. The devs have only just gotten back from holiday (orthodox christmas is 7th of Jan) and naval is the second lowest priority for devs just before Air Sim.
So hopefully we’ll see a rework of her water-tight compartments sometime in 2025
Such a report should be made not only on Rodney, but also on all ships that have 356mm, 381mm and 410mm. Because all these calibers have a strong dispersion. I once even sent a screenshot where I hit with only two shells from 3.6 km with a 410mm Amagi, and the rest of the shells missed with a strong dispersion.
So I repeat, it’s not only Rodney who has the problem. And it will only be fixed after some time for many calibers. I hope of course that this will be corrected in one of the updates.
Different guns will have different levels of dispersal. If they are too model them correctly for each gun, then sources will be needed for each gun. I dont think it would be right to use data for British guns (which were renowned for their accuracy) to model the dispersal on German, Japanese, Italian or US guns. (otherwise I vote we use Japanese reload times on their 16" guns to buff Rodneys fire rate)
Given Rodney has half the fire-rate of the Amagi, the need is not quite as great for the Amagi to get major buffs. I have no doubt that the accuracy of most large calibre guns is underperforming, but as Devil said. Data will need to be found for those respective guns and reported in-turn.
I’m not saying that they should use data from British guns. I’m saying in general. That the problem exists. And even bug reporters said it.
Accuracy is clearly adjusted in a balanced way. Because if they had done it as historically, then the Japanese and British would have had accurate guns, and like the Italians, and for example, American cruisers would have had terrible accuracy. But in the game we once saw troubles with the accuracy of US and Italian cruisers, but this was fixed because it was unrealistic to play. So I don’t think that we need to talk about the fact that since the Japanese 410mm have a fast reload, it means that they should be ultra oblique and not hit from 3 kilometers, “for the sake of balance”. This is complete nonsense. Accuracy needs to be corrected for everyone, regardless of the rate of fire factor. And accuracy will clearly be adjusted for balance reasons, and not as it was historically.
Nelson class is one of my favorite design for all naval ships(including non-comissioned or paper plans), and especially as most cons of her is by developers problem, not by her own, I wish her to be fixed soon. Also I’ll give my thanks to @Vota_piedra who makes wonderful ‘historical accurate’ camo of HMS Rodney when she fought against Bismarck.
