Range upgrade vs. shell arc

[Kenjiro_]

Hello,

 

Does any kind of range upgrade change the shell arc within the previous range? I started playing Fletcher and I already have to zoom out or have the target out of the screen in order to be able to hit an enemy DD at 10 km. If I get the range upgrade module, will my arcs go even worse within 10 km? (don't think it's even possible tough :P)

Well I dont use range modules on any dd as AFT is usually enough and those that might actually work with that somewhat (russian) cant slot them but its the arc m8 - the longer it is the higher it is within a range it shoud be same for same shell speed and drag

No.

 

Fletcher and USN 5"/38 in general caps at 15.6km max range tho, no matter how many range improvements you tack

I don't care about the range. I don't take any range skills or modules for i am afraid to get even more frakked up arcs in short range. I would need another screen to have enough lead space for a target @15 km..

Arcs are proportional to distance and dont change with range upgrades. For example if you have 10km max range and mount  range module you'll get the same arcs at 10km and progressively worse beyond that. Range upgrades are generally questionable with guns that have already high arcs like US DDs and CL/CA

Shell arcs depend on the range you shoot at, not the max range.

Shells arcs of a gun at 10km will always be the same, no matter if you have range upgrades or not.

@Kenjiro_ Isnt that easy to figure out in the training room? Im not at home so i cant check. But it seems unlikely though.

I am not at home either and training room is too complicated for me 😜

You know recruiters do their job when they put right man at right position (or clan for that matter)
