Y'all think the M55 is gonna be good if its added?

well, y’all think its gonna be good?

patton hull with a 155. its just gonna be the m44 but at 6.0, in other words really damn good

edit: its a 203mm, i was thinking of the m53. this things gonna have to be in excess of 7.7 before that gun isnt an instant nuke no matter where it hits

yeah, its a 203

id wait and see, because it will likely be slower than m44 and at a higher br, but we will have to see how the gun preforms

it’d be funny if it has aphe

unfortunately it does not seem to have any AP rounds

sad femboy noises

I am gonna grind it… 203mm big gun probaly BR 5.7?? Hopefully no premium

Nothing stopping it from chambering the naval rounds of similar caliber in this case beyond SHS, but frankly, there is little reason to use AP because of how fat the HE is.

but hear me out, it’ll be funny

First what BR will it be…?

I agree, its also a cut down barrel vs the actual full length naval rifles so a equivalent AP round will not be making the same amount of penetration out of the M55.

Do want to see the rounds present though.

Fatter, slower M44 with a bigger gun with a reload that can be measured in minutes, 5.0, its going to be a bus and a half with a funni delete button and thats it, very glass cannon like.

there is also 8 inch AP mentioned in that document but it is not for howitzers

and there very much is a chance that they use different chamber dimensions or pressures

where did you find this?

same document I linked in earlier message, just in the gun section instead of howitzer

aight. thanks

It’s going to be interesting to play this thing

Disappointingly, German is also getting it. It would be good if it was actually unique to America.

agreed
