Would it be possible to say, put four of them on a Dido?

You'd have no room for armor, and prolly not much of a support crew, but you'd be a CL with 600+ damage shells and I'd assume pretty damn good range. You'd clean up in CL/CA games if you stayed back near some CAs, as you'd look like a low-priority target.

Weighing in at 880 tons apiece for the N's and 790ish for the Ds, they are some heavy guns, but it was just a thought that crossed my mind. With four of them on a Dido, you'd be like a super version of a Q with 6" singles.

IMO the best use of the single 9.2" is to stick them on a Tribal and scare the living daylights out of noobs with your 400-500 damage single shots. XD

I used the 9.2" on a dido however its better to go 3 of the 9.2" L than 4 of the 9.2" D with the L's and light he you can actually range most CL's including mogami and mpro

Yeah, I know they'd be generally useless, and especially against DDs due to the slow reload and only 4 barrels. I just thought maybe in CL/CA/BB games they might have a use. I'd never seen them on a ship, so I figured if they were any good, someone would have used them by now.

Thanks for the replies :)

First....UK guns have the highest dmg.......for fun is ok

eg. 7.5" , 9.2" , 18"

no need to use in ship.....coz they have heavy weight and very long reload time

Zx.

I THINK you can fit four Ds on a dido with three binds. NOT sure about this though.

Do they even fit on a dido or sirius. my gunners are almost at that lvl for the 9,2s. Pff but not want to gamble again on it as i lost already money when i tried something else on a Dido and had to sell the ship........and i did`t know bout rule 9 that time :S.....

Ohw nm in the meantime somebody else posted already so they fit .......... tobad the 9,2s fit and not the triple 6 inch

It would be possible. But from what others have said it really doesn't work too well.

Look at it this way. The 9.2N has a reload of roughly 9-10 secs. The twin 6/45N has a reload of ~ 3.5 secs. From my rough calculations you get 6 2/3 salvos per min w/ the 9.2, and 16 2/3 w/ the 6/45. Using heavy HE you get nearly twice the potential damage with the 6s vs the 9.2s. So unless the 9.2 has a marked range advantage, and you have some crack gunners, I wouldn't even bother.

No, the best I managed was three on the front of a sirius. That was with level 40 is h crew. Three is ok, but reload is VERY bad and dmg isn't all that fantastic. In other words, it's like an edin, but with halfed firepower and no high angle.
