Nah, I didn’t calculate point blank penetration as it means nothing in naval, especially capital ships. For value, I used this for conservative calculation, so if someone can get ‘new gun’ value, then it would be better.

I will have to see if there is an updated range table from the late 1930’s or 40’s. Would be good for finding estimates for the Lion class also.
Thanks.
- solid proof(at least two document) about 25 seconds reload of 15’'/42
we need it for now… as we will going to see Yamato in Vangaurd this year.

Well… We hope we’ll be facing Yamato in Vanguard and not just what we have currently for the next 2 years

I haven’t been able to find an N3 component that started construction unfortunately.
Same is true of Battleship 1929-16A
um but i still want it i can dream and hope

So how underperforming is it?
On another note
Whermst SAP?
Thanks for the document drop-in haha.
Do you know what the current dispersion values are roughly or is it best for us to just do a surface firing trial with 1 turret from tiger?.
Tbh, after readind this i realised the Cumberland reports might not give the full picture.
As they said themself they kept range spotting to minimum, and as the report itself state, the Tiger accuracy might have been better.
Well if it worse we can report regardless impyling it should improve upon Cumberland and if its better we can at least buff it down to that level.
The SAP might have had a higher % of AP capping and therefore Gaijin reclassified it as AP. Kinda the inverse of what happened with the Dunkerque’s AP shell.

I have not preformed any tests, but based on pure in game feeling, hit rates seems better than the tables. But it might be just my feeling
Something quite interresting i have just read:
The 6inch Mk XXIII tripple mounts (the ones the later town classes used) were not the last tripple mounting built.
In 1942 another mount was designed, based on the Mk XXIII, which was called the XXIV. The main differences were powered loading, RP.10 remote power control and 60° of elevation.
These mounts were planned for Tiger, Bellerophon and Defence with Blake and Hawke being ordered a bit later.
Now to the fun bit: after most of those ships were cancelled, the admirality still ordered for most of the mounts to be completed and then stored.
So with those ships being laid down and the gun mountings being completed would this make them applicable for introduction into the game?
Would depend if we can find some pictures

for the Mk 26 mounts this migth have the gunnery trial reports in them (Tigers were done in 1959)
There were some designed and possibly made for the Minotaur class. And those were laid down
