General Japanese Naval Forces Discussion HQ

Nagato (the ship circled) firing her San Shiki shells, theres quite a spread on them. This was from the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea.

The shell was also made for the 127mm, 203mm, 356mm and 410mm guns, so if anything, i think it should be available for those guns too as a Shrapnel shell besides the normal HE-TF(or replace it) as the fragmentation pattern of shrapnel shell would represent better the behaviour of the T3 shell than that of the HE-TF(maybe add special lines of code to increase the fragmentation cone or make the damage area persist for 1-2 seconds)

There is no new information, only wrong unit conversion or was just a typo on Navweaps.

Now, it’s correct as per these documents:

Thanks for the info! I’ll trust Gaijin and wait patiently.

Hopefully it’s just a typo.

In general, there needs to be a rework/introduction of incendiary shrapnel projectiles to the game. There are several models of Japanese bombs and rockets, some of the latter of which are in-game (but modeled terribly), that used an incendiary fragmentation cone or field effect to down aircraft that is simply not modeled at all. A general simplified representation of this could be adjusted to fit multiple types of weapons.
