Looking at the stat card from the english stream seems like those 381mm shells are modeled with a lot of drag and they lose pen quickly because of it.
after all it’s the dev not the final version so i hope that it’s will be modified later
indeed
For this matter better open a report when the dev part of the forum opens.
Considering what monster shells will be flying at you when the update drops every bit of protection can make the difference. (especially when we have actual documents on the armor, let’s try not to turn Roma into Ariete 2.0).

thats the plan
Sorry Italian fans. Dev server just howed that Roma has a RoF of a mere 1.3 rounds per minute.

Surprised they didn’t nuke Richelieu similarly.
Also interesting that they didn’t nuke Gneisenau or selvastopol

So they are making it Soldati of battleships. Sometimes I imagine how Vyacheslav Bulannikov takes Italian flag, puts it over a dartboard and throw darts at it.

they could have started from a 50 seconds reload and get down to 40 aced tbh. it would have been the middle ground between the originary 45 seconds confirmed by the regia marina, bad firing position and perfect firing positions.
about the penetration values of the ap shell… i also remember reading either in a book or an extract form a uni research that the regia marina tested the penetration value of the 381/50 on their own armor and got some great pen results which would (even tho, those two sources wouldn’t be enough to justify a change in gaijins eye i suppose)

they might be using some Regia Marina tests that used a constant in the De Marre formula that’s not accurate for the new shells. It was fine for the WW1 ones, but for these new shells it would be better to use USN’s Empirical Armor Penetration formula which would result in higher pen values.
i found official Marina Militare documents published by their office that has values of the penetrating AP and SAP power.
is there someone else with data at hand so that we can make a more comprehensive bug report?
Why was the EC3/ter «Gufo» radar not included in the RN Roma model?

FYI the 120mm guns on the Roma are NOT the star shell howitzers - they are old 1909 model type - Littorio class isn’t shown as one of the ships they are fitted on, but that is what the model says.
They elevate up to 30 degrees, so I guess they could still be used for star shell - 200 ammo modelled for each.

I really hope that they don’t nerf the Roma.
@Smin1080p_WT any comments on RN Roma current state, are devs going to fix its multiple issues (penetration, protection, RoF) or it’ll will retain reduced capabilities to keep it at low BR?

Let’s just hope that the last statement from the moderators won’t go as they say or we’ll really have an Ariete 2.0 situation in our hands for no logical reasons.
Do we not already cement present on Kongou, just add it anyway??? Even if they believe it to be for water-tightness, which I disagree with.
One of THE MOST RETARDED STATEMENT I HAVE EVER HEARD. Anyone, and i mean anyone, who would take the time to even read or watch anything on the littorio and its sister ships would know what the concrete was for. And if you think its something to do with water-tightness then you need a reality check. How on earth you get any work done sucking that much russian cock gaijin i have no idea. The soyuz having mythical levels of armour cuz you think it should but the roma not getting its 25mm of extra armour because you dont think cement adds significant protection is stupid and quite frankly the most biased thing you have done in years. I thought we had made progress but here you are coming back to your toxic ex…
