you are right. it has good spread with +100 gunners and it's fast, it has good turn
force and it's hard to target.

Whatever the dunk guns lack in damage i believe they make up with reload and a nice
spread, in higher levels though.

Dunkerque guns are not that much powerfull. even with 18's of l2 it takes time to kill
an armour whore.

That is why 30 degree guns aren't the amazing things that IJN players make them out to
be. Huge weakness against armour, inconsistant damage and range.

Dunkerque shell is bugged as hell.

Start dropping under 30 degree and damage will tickle people, so does AP.

I've never tested them, but I have done over 100 levels in a UK Dunkerque and had similar
experiences with the AP shells.

I've had them bounce at max angle (35), but I've also done a few 10k salvos. Against
armored targets, I find the AP worse than HE at angles 33-35 and useless below angle 27 or
so.

AP shells are weird in general, but I think the UK Dunk AP shells are inconsistant at
best, possibly bugged.
