This is what I came up with. Does it seem accurate?

I measured range to the middle of the spread after ~7 shots. I don't have data for the O
Project II or the Bismarck yet.

BBs are listed in order of increasing range.


Largest caliber guns available for ship:


__________Gun____Level_Range__________Gun___Level_Range

BB1 P Pro2 14.96"D__| 73 | 31.25* = _Scharn 14.96"D | 73 | 31.25*

PBB AD____12.6"___| 65 | 33.0

BB2 O Pro__14.96"L_| 71 | 33.75_ = __Gneis__14.96"L_| 71 | 33.75

BB3 O Pro2 14.96"oL | 82 | ????__< __Bism___14.96"bL_| 82 | ????


Longest range guns available for ship:


__________Gun____Level_Range________Gun___Level_Range

BB1 P Pro2_11"34___| 59 | 32.5 = _Scharn 11"34__| 59 | 32.5

PBB AD____12.6"___ | 65 | 33.0

BB2 O Pro__11"34L__| 63 | 35.25 = _Gneis 11"34L_| 63 | 35.25
=
BB3 O Pro2 11"34L__| 63 | 35.25 = _Bism__11"34L_| 63 | 35.25


All ranges are with Light HE where possible.

Range is measured in guideline segments. The first segment is from the middle of the ship
to the first white dot.

don't exist anymore."

Until you caught the KM ship on its own and gave him a raping he'll never forget. Can't
say I worried too much about KM 11" in the Nagato.

Nothing wrong with the 11".



At-level Scharnhorst.

Just don't go into the scenario expecting to wtf1-shot!!! your target. KM's the finesse
nation..a fact that's been lost over the ages.

So 11 guns rule in rooms that don't exsist anymore. That's good to know.

PS. Nice insult V2C. You set a fine example for a level 33 posterboy.

"I got 3 direct hits on an AD but so what he owned me."

Nothing new there. What I find suprising is you engaging the enemy instead of hiding in
the back.

Lol, Jimmy, the 11" are still the king of BB123 rooms. Just that BB123 rooms pretty much
don't exist anymore.

They aren't well-suited to the fast-paced and ever-changing GB2 environment, but back when
every room was a "normal" room, everybody regarded KM as totally overpowered because the
11" ranged everything else by such a huge amount.

There's no real reason to use 11" now, once you have access to the 14.96 (both sets of
which used to be utterly worthless, before they were fixed). With the game being dominated
by 5th and 6th tier ships, the extra range over BB123 is pretty much a moot point and
having a slightly easier time getting close enough to get in a few hits before dying is
outweighed by being able to actually make those hits count.

Wow, swaped out 14 for 11.....never again.

For what little bit of range increase you lose 65% damage per shell.

464 HE 11 =/= 1329 HE 14

I got 3 direct hits on an AD but so what he owned me.

No thanx.

First set 14.96 L or N? I know that I can range an AD by about a ship width with L and LHE.

AD has the same range as Sodak, and Sodak ranges the first set of 14.96 by a
couple milimeters.
