Then look at Bayern, if you shoot the same general location your shells will bounce all day. Just look at New Mexico, that's a great example of a nice, big, crunchy upper plate that many mid-caliber guns can abuse.

You can't break out graphs and charts every time you aim but you get the hang of it the more practice you get with the same guns.Īgainst BBs, the simple thing to be aware of is which ones have a nice chunky upper plate, usually just 25mms. It really depends on your guns, the ship's armor and the trajectory of the shell.

This is especially the case against large DDs and soft cruisers like t5+ Germans. It's not simply a matter of getting close to use AP - depending on the target, AP can be better at long range where if it penetrates something, it's less likely to have the momentum to overpen. For using AP efficiently, you need to be aware of armor models as well as what you guns are capable of penetrating (which is good, better than HE) and overpenetrating (which is bad, far worse than HE).
