@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
it was meant to be their replacement, a more return to form for British Ship design, something that was very similar to the Revenge and QE classes of the 1910s.
With 8 16inch guns, which were modified from the Nelsons original pattern, with longer barrels, and were supposed to use heavier 16inch AP rounds, Essentially they were the guns that were eventually were planned to be fitted to the Lion class.
Rated top speed was very similar to the Nelsons, but their armor was reinforced slightly.
Sadly the ships never got built due to the 1930 London Naval Treaty extending the Building holiday on battleships.
