0.22 horizontal
0.24 vertical
Iowa gets 0.22 and 0.24 in horizontal and vertical respectively. Same goes for Colorado, Bismarck , Soyuz and Yamato. You can find these in Gszabi’s GitHub repository.
I had thought of reporting dispersion by checking for historical documents, then reproducing those in WT, with one ship shooting another at a certain range, and a third player in a plane or helicopter above the target ship to record the dispersion sizes.
But I’m a bit sceptical as to whether the game’s dispersion sizes match documents to begin with. I know they’ve done some changes recently that may have used historical documentation.
That is to say, do we know if the in game dispersion values are accurate or do they tend to be more/less accurage than those IRL for gameplay reasons? I wouldn’t want for people to spend all that time to get a historical dispersion value that could be potentially be worse than what we have currently in case the typical dispersion values in game are smaller than IRL.
Looking at the firing tables both the Italians and the british managed to tune down the dispersion around 180-200m at 20Km.
In game both Vanguard and Roma can straddle a 100m+ cruiser at 7Km.
1 shell out of 3 basically goes haywire. With Roma you can visually see it, with Vanguard you can really “feel” it as, in some salvos, only 1 or 2 shells land on target and it cause frustration.
Thank you, this confirm the theory that I had.
Really feels like someone took a random anti-propaganda pamphlet for these ships and took it for granted.
Iowa was really precise IRL due to the technological solution of its guns, but Roma and Vanguard managed to tighten up the dispersion a lot in time. The first solving the overspinning problem of its projectiles, the latter introducing the 1938LB Mk.XVII.
Let’s hope they’ll change these values to a more standard ones over time.
The IOWA shell was greatly weakened. It was supposed to penetrate most targets with a 35-degree heading Angle at a distance of 15 kilometers. But now the same thing can only be achieved at a distance of 6 kilometers.
