Hi all,
I want to say first of all that I don't have much of a head for numbers. When things are laid out in a table, I can see trends and so on, but when I'm met with a barrage of numbers that mean nothing to me, I tend to skip them. I also know almost nothing about armor penetration, ballistics, etc, and am trying to learn.
that said, I wanted to know what some of the Okum table data indicates. I shall elaborate.
The numbers under "PP", "H", "NL", "EF" and "Deck": are they percentages of times a shell would penetrate? Or inches of armor a shell could go through?
I always thought it was best to fight at long ranges, but the way the deck penetration numbers go up as range increases while all the other numbers go down seems too indicate that in order to actually sink a ship you should get within shipgirl range and shoot with your guns pressed against the enemy's hull like a bar fight.![🤔]()
