Seattle range 18km?

[Giorgio_marksman]

If the range for the upgraded gun mod. on Seattle is 15.7 km and I put Gun Fire Control System Modification 2 (which adds 16% gun firing range) then I should theoretically have 18km range? Correct me if i’m wrong. Also if I mount the upgrade before I research and mount the gun module will it add 16% firing range to the new range (15.7 km, making the range 18km) or will it just ignore the new mod because I mounted it when the ship had the old module?

The mod extends the current range of the ship, meaning it will compensate for the stock range and later you will get 18km once you upgrade.

GL hitting anything at 18km with the Seattle's shells.

Then why do I hear everyone complaining about it’s range? 18km is pretty good

The shells are pretty floaty and it takes ages for them to land but if you can lead very well, I guess you can make them work at those ranges.

15.7km is too short. 18km on the other hand is too long. Ideal range would be ~16.5km which is what the Worcester has.

It's a dilemma, really.

At 15.7 km, your HE shells are in the air for 15s.

At 18km, your HE shells need 20s.

That is the time you need to guess into the future to hit your enemy.

nah, 15.7 is enough, even for the DM at 15.8. after 11-12 secs of flyght time even hitting bbs, if they are moving/slightly manouvering becomes futile, i rather prefer having 12% better dpm/ a dm that handles like a dd
