Navy Field
Have you ever wanted to own a Bismarck? An Arizona? Or perhaps just an Admiral Hipper, or Prinz Eugen? Scharnhorst, Nelson.... Or any other WW2 BB for that matter. http://www.navyfield.com I play this game, and I have a really good time playing it. I run the KM(German) line, running around in a Hipp...

Here's something that I am reading, but hardly understanding. So, I post it here so that someone might make sense of it. LOL
I'm not a Math guy, more of an artist type actually.

There were sixteen Dido-type cruisers. All told, they shot down fifteen aircraft. Hmmm....Wonder how many flew over them, on their way to more important targets. :think: I do believe that this proves the point that they were not all that worthy of production. I'm sure they were useful as an experim...

http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/dido_class.htm If you haven't read it, or your interested. ;) The Dido class was good for what it did. They were AA cruisers, nothing more. And not all that impressive at that. The 5.25in guns were ok, but not terribly impressive at their task either. The money...

The angled portion is much more believable. My thinking is that unless the angle of impact were, relatively, flat, a shell would have had a hard time blowing out back of the turret. Whereas, a hit closer to the roof, at any trajectory, would have had much more of a chance of penetraiting a point in ...

Bgile, yes...I understand that. I'm trying to figure out where that shell would have entered the turrett. I have a hard time believing that it was faceplate shot. I have an easier time, based upon the relative thinness of the roof armor, accepting the fact that the shell entered through the roof. Ti...

Bismarck's Bruno turret took a direct hit on the faceplate or on the angled facet above the faceplate. The turret was blasted so thoroughly that the back was blown off. Cruisers give us a broader sample pool. Quincy, Vincennes, and Astoria all took faceplate hits at Savo, as did the Japanese flagsh...

The larger gun port is a inescapable result of the more vertical faceplates. For mounts with only low elevation, it might not make much of a difference. For a gun with 45deg elevation, I wonder if the smallest gunport would be for a faceplate mounted at 22.5deg. That, certainly, makes sense to me. ...
