[FO] Todger_Fairmile Players 494 posts 17,547 battles Report post #1776 Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) The entire centre sections? Just the center section of the hull. all superstructure, and both ends less than 12 mm (on many ships). Not just on dd's though same for most lower tier cruisers I checked, Phoenix, Omaha, St Louis, Tenryu, Yubari, Bogatyr. Most of the lower level cruisers are less than 12mm except for the few armored areas. So British guns will be overpenning a lot without HE (unless RNGesus loves you). On Clemson or Wickes (for example) you have to hit the hull aft of the forward superstructure and ahead of the aft port torpedo mount (or a gun shield) to hit 13mm, the rest is 10mm.

[SCRUB] piritskenyer Players, Players, Sailing Hamster 3,462 posts 5,363 battles Report post #1780 Posted September 19, 2016 Actually thinking about it, that ammo with its 75° autobounce angle will have no problem achieving detonation threshold even on bow sections of DD's, as it takes 60° to double thickness.

Darth_Glorious Beta Tester 2,464 posts Report post #1781 Posted September 20, 2016 Sigma value affects the density of salvo relatively to the center of shell dispersion. We don't use Sigma very often, but do sometimes for balance puproses. http://forum.worldofwarships.com/index.php?%2Ftopic%2F96327-dev-qa-about-the-game%2Fpage__pid__2363595 So the myth about sigma = horizontal dispersion/vertical dispersion is busted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fnord_disc Beta Tester 2,119 posts 5,245 battles Report post #1783 Posted October 17, 2016 Tone is still in early design to find an interesting plane dynamic for it. It will come next year at the earliest, if ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
