The Sight will zoom out to 11 and a bit K, but the shells won't go that far, they drop short about 1K. So Aurora's gun sight needs adjusting or the guns need looking at.

M4rshal_Banana Beta Tester 29 posts Report post #2 Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) I noticed the same thing. Fired of many salvos during my last battle on targets below the posted 11.2km range. In fact i tried several times to hit target 10km away only to have my shell drop to roughly 8km range. Tried even aiming beyond the target but shells dropped down at same distance. Either the posted range for the guns is wrong or my shells simply decided that the Winter Palace is in the other direction.

RandomName331 Beta Tester 29 posts 108 battles Report post #3 Posted April 14, 2015 I think I experienced that too. Was firing at a St. Louis at max range, shells dropped like 1km away from her. Must be the Winter Palace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OnboardG1 Beta Tester 202 posts 4,490 battles Report post #8 Posted April 19, 2015 Since that doesn't happen with any other ship that I've so far seen Im calling bug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deamon93 Sailing Hamster 3,124 posts 1,275 battles Report post #9 Posted April 19, 2015 Different ballistic arcs due to very different shell weights. I think there's more than just weight since HE is heavier than AP and yet travels more. By checking at the stats of the gun from navweaps(here) i assume the HE shell is the modernized 1907 but which of the two listed is the AP shell ingame?
