Which converts, in game, into HE shrapnel armor piercing and nothing more(they even have same amount of shatters and explosion radius, despite difference in mass and filler), so those “kg” difference means nothing(in fact a lot of shells have the same characteristics in game despite their obvious differences in IRL, 330mm have same characteristics as 381mm, 203mm same as any 305, all the shells barely different from each other), but what matters in game is that Yamato rounds fuses in 0.05s, while Soyz ones in 0.035s which gives Yama more chances to reach modules.
ps. Only 3 things that actually matter in game gunplay atm. - penetration(+fuzetime), spread of the gun, and firerate.
Yama have all of them. Richelieu have none.
in naval shell weight matters too, and too less explosive does matter(for example Italian 12’‘), but every shell that is bigger than 12.6’’ does have fulfilled least amount of explosive need
so your statement clearly stands for Richelieu and Yamato yeah
i hope so, but they are older ships and italy didnt start building any new BB,s after them. so if we wanna compete, gaijin would need to allow paper ships or other design,s of almost built ships who has sisters ingame that were built
Except it’s not. Cause they have best pen on their BR and therefore best KD on their BRs, so they could reach modules better. And all opponents have barely any armor thickness in armored decks so their 46.6 explosive pen is more than enough even in current game state.
