They become very useful when ambushing in close quarters. The good news is that if a torpedo salvo hits, it will do massive amounts of damage. Unfortunately, the torpedoes on all hulls have a paltry 5.5 km range (unlike her Soviet Lend-Lease counterpart, Murmansk, which has 8 km torpedoes), and should be used only when the guns cannot do enough damage (from either damage saturation for HE or insufficient penetration for AP) or Omaha finds herself very close to another ship. Omaha is also the last torpedo-armed cruiser in the American line. This is useful when pursuing a target or retreating, allowing Omaha to maintain most of her firepower without giving a broadside. The casemate guns have very good angles of fire and at least six guns can be brought to bear in any direction. She inherits Phoenix's unusual mixture of casemate and turret-mounted main armament, allowing a broadside of eight 6-inch (152 mm) guns or six guns fore and aft. Tier V Omaha represents an incremental improvement over her predecessor, Phoenix. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.įor a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's 'Actual AA DPS'. Just hope it get a little more of a fix soon.Warning. series is great for new comers and it is pretty much WG people that put it together. thats why the NaVAL AcaDemY video I posted is a must see. Even glancing off the inner layer of armor slows it the time it needs to detonate inside.

If it hits more superficial objects and probably also the other sides armor, or mechanical componenets, it will explode in the ship. When armor is hit and AP round fuzes and explodes. Sure hitting superficial parts will cause a shell to go straight through but this was already modeled. This is why you cant take stories as empirical evidence for game models.

All the other times the ships were obliterated. That is because those times by the grace of God the shell missed everything that could slow it down enough. Sure there are 'eye witness stories' about rounds passing through boats and it survived. It doesnt have to be armor, just that G force equivalence of resistance. Add any type amount of angling and that armor resists and slows the projectile down a lot more, and then remember the other sides armor plate. The mk21 mod 1 fuze required 1.5' of armor plate at 0 degrees, or equiv., to detonate. However there are a lot of things in the ship that can slow it enough.none of this seems to be take in consideration. its the time of flight afterward that caused overpenetration. I hope everyone knows that it isnt so, that AP rounds need some sort of steel wall in order to set fuze.
