ok, since I see too many ppl asking about the ranges of guns and tarrifs info is
outdated and not too accurate I will post my results here.
This is ONLY to compare the range of the UK guns I don't even provide you with an
absolute distance as I do not want this to become a flaming post about nation's
advantages, disadvantages and so on...
I tested every gun with 10 full salvos from my Lion's three guns at max angle,
shooting north, took 1 picture each and let my computer calculate a average
distance.

(And yes - contrary to the common misbelief, the average range is, what counts.
Higher gunners with less spread DO NOT shoot further then low level gunners. In fact, some
stray shells from crappy gunners will fall further ahead then they do if shot by a
blocking gunner - and.. my gunners block all guns anyways ;-)



update :
old gun ranges thrown out since nothing changed from the PBB patch to this one - except
the lvl120 guns.

I don't know what level you are, but there's soo much wrong with your post I don't
think I should even bother straightening you out.
Except maybe to learn to play and ditch the armor.

uk guns have the worst range by far, im always out rangd in gb's no matter how
crap my spread is.

i think all gun ranges should be the same for balance purposes. the ships are
already on diffrent fronts with speed armour and damage out put from shells.

its about time all guns had the same range, there is nothing worse than trying to
chase down a ship in a uk bb. its slow as hell you have to armour it cause your
range is too short and when trying to get in range of a running ship. you take many
many hits as your running into their oncomeing fire too which effectively increases
their range and decreases yours purely based of movements. combine that with the
serious lack of uk bb range and you can see just how bad it really is.

i would be happy to take a reduciton in shell dmg if it meant i could hit other ships at
the same range they can hit me.

people sometimes argue that the uk bb are faster, well if you take of all that
important armour i would probably agree with them. but unfortunately the poor
range on the uk ships dictates the use of armour and there for makes it one of if not
the slowest ships available.

a uk bb with 900 sd and no armour can take at best 3 accurate volleys before going
down. with armour will last for 4-5. the armour on a uk bb is a very negative thing.
its ok having all that protection, but what use is it if you cant get in range to use it.

i vote balance the gun ranges so uk bb players dont have to play chase to get a hit.

i spend most of my time in a gb backing off out of range so i dont get sunk because i
dont have the range to fire back, i geuss im hopeing they chase me so i stand a
chance in a uk bb.

and no before any one says try us or jap, that really isnt the answer lol. there is a
range balance issue and uk is underranged. it doesnt matter if the shells do more
dmg because thats no good if you cannot get into range.

im currently useing an L1 and its range compaired to its t4 counter parts stinks. with
full armour its way way too slow so getting in range is an issue, i have to rely on
people to screw up and not pay attention or genrally go afk so i can get in some
cheap dirty shots that im not pride of.
