Why does all secondary armament so very short range? On the Wyoming the range is 3,5km, there is no normal scenario where a ship will come so close. Can't secondary armament range be increased to 70% of main guns, that way they can be useful for medium range fights, atm they are useful for extreme close range fights.

I think it should be a function feature on any ship. I don't see any reason for nerfing the range of a 127mm as a main battery with 8,4km on the Chester to 3,5km on the wyoming that have it as a secondary battery, the same gun is used as a secondary gun on almost all US BB. I proposes the range of the 127mm gun should be incressed to 8,5km for the wyoming and 12km Montana, simllare for the Cruisers that uses the same gun. As for potential damage for a secondary the properties is not specified. therefore, i will use the data from the Chester and the Fletcher: Rate of fire: 7,5 (12)rounds per min potential damage: 2100 AP For the Wyoming that is 47 250 dmg/min per side of the ship, that is makes out 24% of the damage of the main battery. Sec: 3x7,5x2100= 47 250 dmg/min Main: 6x2x2x8300= 199 200 dmg/min For the Montana that is 252 000 dmg/min per side of the ship, that is makes out 78% of the damage of the main battery. Sec: 5x2x12x2100=252 000 dmg/min Main: 4x3x2x13500=324 000 dmg/min I think for the Montana the range is even more of a problems when 78% extra damage is not use do to short range.
