If I’m not mistaken, it is the “maxDeltaAngle” parameter that is set the accuracy of the guns. That is, among the six-inch guns with the lowest initial velocity (+ the american five-inch gun with almost no dispersion):
6’'/50 QF Mark N5 (HMS Tiger) - 50m horizontal and 32m vertical
“maxDeltaAngle”: 0.5
“maxDeltaAngleVertical”: 0.32
6"/50 BL Mark XXIII (Town-class) - 25m horizontal and 31.5m vertical
“maxDeltaAngle”: 0.25
“maxDeltaAngleVertical”: 0.315
Navyweps indicates based on MV a good accuracy, and this generally fits with the characteristics of British guns, the Brits hating inaccuracy and nipping it in the bud after the high velocity 12" guns. No source given though, so seemingly an assumption made on MV. I’ll keep looking. https://www.britishpathe.com/asset/187979/
Unfortunately this British Pathe clip doesn’t mention accuracy either.
@liath_anam Good news, we’ve (myself and @DevilO6) found the location of a copy of the documents we want.
There’s many more than just those too. Most others centre around the mountings themselves as well as their efficiency at dealing with surface and aerial threats.
Worth noting though, Gaijin could just label it not a bug (though credits to them for fixing it when I last reported it ) as the gun data available accounts for static firings of singular guns, ships ingame obviously use multigun turrets and are also obviously moving in the water. Though the surface full charge distinction makes me think these may have been the dispersion stats for the mountings when inside the turrets firing simultaneously. Unfortunately such documents aren’t really availible for large calibre guns, but they exist here.
Though now further on to this I think i’d raise some disputes partially with the validity of Herman’s exterior ballistics and partially referenced to FCS and the roll stabilisation of naval guns.
Anyway, range tables are the best we’ve got to report with. So when it’s possible I’ll see if there’s any way we can get our hands on copies but I’m pretty busy at the moment.
Thanks for your work. I doubt they’ll make any changes in the near future, given their stubbornness, but it’s at least something.
And a clip from British Pathé video with ~2-3 seconds of reload time on 6-inch guns.
I might consider it in the summer sale. but also holding out for a new coastal premium at some point. Something little different, but not sure what I want
So I have one source (secondary) giving a 20 rounds per gun per minute for the 6 inch Mk 26 mount (Tigers 6inch)
We would need a second one to get it down
