![]() ![]() But Hipper's shells make gunnery at range a pleasure. In Tier VIII, IMO Baltimore has far stronger HE & AP shells than Hipper. Meanwhile a Cruiser with floaty shells will struggle to hit non-BBs at range. You can reliably hit targets at your max range of 17.6km with Hipper and other German CAs. ![]() This also includes the 50mm deck of Stalingrad.Īnother nice thing with German 203mm shells is they have nice shell flight characteristics for long range combat. German 203mm guns can now HE Pen High Tier USN BB decks, and the decks of VII+ German BBs. German 203mm HE Pen: 203mm / 4 = 50.75 or 51mm of armor needed to defeat this HE shell. Even High Tier USN BBs sport 37mm or 38mm decks.īut German 203mm HE Pen? As I said, they get the /4 treatment and not the normal /6. But stuff like 50mm deck armor on VII+ German BBs, 57mm/58mm decks on IX-X IJN BBs, and 60mm decks on IX-X RU BBs are out of reach. Almost every Cruiser armor section out there can be penetrated. This means it's enough to pen the very common 32mm armor sections found on BBs. Normal 203mm HE Pen: 203mm / 6 = 33.83 or 34mm of armor needed to defeat this HE shell. So German 203mm guns have fantastic HE penetration by default. German main battery guns 150mm and larger also already get the /4 instead of the /6 HE Pen. Although (in game at least) the Graf Spee has fantastic torpedoes. I think the 8" guns are a good compromise between speed and sheer damage. Or Slow firing 11" guns like the Deutschland class cruisers? So I guess the eternal debate will be what works best for a cruiser? ![]()
