before you changed it, bismarck got crippled by a biplane that was already outdated BEFORE WW2.
her “last stand” was being annihilated by the royal navy.

Literally the Bismarck:
Best ship in the German fleet
Sunk by biplanes on the first mission after a single naval shoot-down
The Roma flew several more missions than the Bismarck.

Still a more memorable fate than being scrapped.
Also, when people change a comment barely 20 seconds after posting it, there’s probably a reason for it xD.
All of this is off-topic anyway. It is clear that Italian players are particularly passionate about their stuff, I already got the idea xD.
Anyway. Hope you get the 900mm pen reload.
Specially since I just came to realise that there was a misunderstanding on my part; I read the 0m value as 1,000m value; so I naturally thought that value was too high! But no, it’s perfectly fine and reasonable, nevermind my confusion.
Like every player from his home country perhaps.

Sorry, we are talking about the game data or the history of ships?
Because the topic was started for the game, not the birth and destruction of honourable ships, it is confusing that we are talking about real-life things, meanwhile in game is another thing

I think is better to get on the topic, because from what I see all of the datamined stuff inflicts various changes for the ships mentioned

Please stay on topic instead of making pointless comments about X ship allegedly being better than Y ship

Substantial improvement on the last dev build!
Keep in mind that the first value on the statcard is at 1,000m, NOT 0m. Don’t commit the same mistake I did mixing up 0m and 1,000m values, we’ve just seen where such misunderstandings can lead xD.
There was a 28 mm improvment and the coefficient applied Is still lower than 1 (0.91).

Returning to the topic.
I think the first thing to make sure is to fix the De Marre multiplier of both the SAP and AP shells.
SAP is quite obvious as, in the dev server, it has less performance than the 320mm one from the Cavour and Duilio while having almost double the weight and better speed.
Yup, small improvement as they changed the De Marre multiplier from 0.88 to 0.91 on the AP.
Don’t know why they don’t want to put it to 1 like other shells, maybe for balance reasons?

Edit: Nevermind, was trying to figure out something of which there’s already straight up datamines xD
I don’t think It’s like that. You see, the armour loss for most new cannons is 24 mm, while for Roma It’s 103 mm (initially 130). How could It lose so much mm after 1 km then stabilize and lose less pen for longer ranges?
The coefficient Is still 0.91 too.

From datamines the penetration at 0m is 820mm
there are indeed improuvments but I think that we are still a bit far from the final value.
it is a mistery…
every other shell of this patch from the german 380mm to the 406mm of the soyuz (for example) lose 24mm between 0 and 1000m, the Italian 381mm is the only that loses much more (prior the recent changes 130mm). it is like when near 1000m the shell uses the airbrakes… I hope that we’ll see the 381mm in all its destructive potential.
about balance reasons…this shell indedd penetrates a lot…but it has also very small ammount of explosive, so this means less damage from detonation in non vital areas

I forgot about the datamines, hahah. Much easier than going around trying to calculate things, so disregard that.
Anyway, interesting. I have no idea what exactly they are doing with the efficiency values in this specific shell.
I just hope that, whatever they are doing, is in an attempt at approaching reality and NOT arbitrary changes to alter the performance of the shell.
immagine if regia marina decided to keep the initial velocity of 870m/s XD

We’ll end up with 934 mm of pen at 0 m.

Also I forgot to add that this data looks like it was calculated using USN empirical formula, so it doesn’t have to be 100 percent correct.

That makes even more sense.

I think Roma deserves better dispersion
