Yeah feel pretty weak but can resist sometimes … im pretty surprised the horst gun can pen more easly than some others ( not very logical since the armor was made for those kind of gun )
But yeah the obly issue gaijin can fix is the shell type ,i really feel like we just need a little bit more sauce and we could ammorack/ damage properly almost everything
to be fair angling is better than nothing.
I feel like the few dunkerque i penned while angled with my abysmal 490mm pen at 1000m were through the highlighted plate in the screenshot below :
Also, they were all under 9km, so there’s that

Yeah thay why you cant be facing foward or with a slight angle in this thing :/
Thanksfully this problem was fixes with the richelieu so now we wait .
Well that explains why the accuracy feels so great.
Yeah, probably the lack of penetration. If they could fix that in the future, Dunkerque would be pretty good.
Long range should help with armor situation since the belt is angled.

Well let’s hope that they might add more ships next update
No worries, I appreciate the updates.
And I have to agree, even if she’s not competitive, she’s gorgeous. I’m going to unlock Dunkerque for that reason alone

I do agree it looks nice it follows a similar unconventional design like the kgv’s and nelson with the turret placement and if she performed better in game I might consider the grind to get it
Well, they obviously will. Lets instead hope for good ships because God knows they don’t like adding those too often.
Richelieu our beloved .
I sure can’t wait for a r-class BB to get added along side the Bismarck
Revenge? Oh, no. No no no. There’s still two more ships of the Iron Duke class before we can even begin to think of adding something new.
All those beautifull ship that will just end up being tottaly ammoracked by a littorio 🥲
Just imagine if they made guns have the same accuracy in game as they did irl
Where the gun pretty accurate on the littorio IRL ? i know that on the richelieu was it about 300 m of dispersion at 20 km so
The guns themselves were very accurate, but the problems with accuracy came from poor quality control during shell manufacturing. I don’t know if the devs take this into account when determining in-game accuracy or not.
? The shell where fine too ? At least in the quality … the design was … not meant for high pressure …
Well from what I thought it was some of the shells from one of the 2 producers of them
there was a flaw in the design of the french one but nothing conserning the accuracy.
the flaw was at the bottom of the shell that could break into the chamber and make the shell explode like we saw at the battle of Dakar .
but the quality was pretty good for the time the shell even got a proper milling finishing
I’m speaking about the guns on the Littorio class by the way. The shell quality was the problem. The guns themselves were mostly very accurate and also very high muzzle velocity.
