Yep, which is why Vanguard stayed in service till 1960.
So as she still stayed in service, she needs to ready for battle. Thats the reason why she got modified turrets to use supercharge, and planned to operate super-charged AP on wartime though not in real life peace time
question what kind of improvments in penitration would have been improved going to the supercharged shells with the 15 inch guns
Technically the guns werent changed, only the mountings, allowing for 30° angle vs 20° on the earlier ships.
That… I dont know and I dont think I want to do a deep dive to try and find out tonight.
@Rileyy3437 Might have that info on hand though
Of course shell velocity got much higher. 752 m/s with ordinary charge vs 804 m/s with super charge. Also British 15’’ shell is quite heavier for its size compared to British 16’’ of Nelson and Lion(which is not finished), so actual penetration is similar or even higher than those guns.

would also be intresting to see if the 16 inch british gun reload as it was reported that during the bismark fight they execded the on paper reload at points if i am rembering the vidieo from Drachinifel on battle ship guns correctly
reload times are definetly a balancing thing. So… God knows what our 16 inch reload times would be.
Japans 16" ships like IJN Amagi have a higher RoF than Hood (I think) . approx 5-10 second faster reload (24 second reload I think vs Hoods 30 seconds) . Id guess Britains 16" guns would have a RoF something like 1 round per minute or something stupid like that
fuck i am going to ask the ai overloards what it thinks the reload rate is
Id guess Nelson will be around 40-45 second reload
well the ai says an estimated reload of 2 rounds per min as she fired 380 shells in just over an hour
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see
well the ai says the japanese 16 inch guns sould have between a 1.5 and 2 round per min
but i realy think that gaijin should put all the sources they can for vehicals in the description/wiki page
Definetly no bias for naval in war thunder
Yeah. I hate the policy that we have to prove gaijin wrong and gaijin never has to prove they are right. I get there is WAY too many sources for every single vehicle to have every single source. But I think that there should be a process to challenge a piece of information.
well i think gaijin also uses the fact the germans aimed for an early rapid reload to give them a much better sustained ROF than they should have were as the british aimed for a much better ROF over time
Yeah, though based upon bug reports for US ships (that @SPANISH_AVENGER can probably link but I cba to go looking for) despite evidence for a much higher RoF. US ships are denied it on the grounds of balance.
RoF is a balancing tool for Gaijin. So I dont think any sources will really change it
