However, it is thinskined and you can Citadel it pretty easy if you know where to aim. It can definitely take on any in its tier ship and burn it to the ground with its 12 guns and high ROF. I agree.Cleveland is a great versatile ship. The speed is about equal so the Cleve cannot catch up to you if you stay out of reach early enough. So running from a Cleve has 6 guns pointing to her with high velocitiy and every 6 seconds a salvo. The CL shout scout and retreat to the main ships. That´s why the 2 turrets are on the rear. This tactics fit to the German CL tactics and construction doctrin. And the Aoba has half of the RPM of the Nürnberg. The velocitiy is even better that the 203 of the Aoba and with the Aoba you could hit a Cleve from the distance pretty well. Well if I compare the Nürnberg and the Cleveland in that list up there I would stay out of range of the Cleve and fire AP with 10 Rounds per Minute on her. So I guess that impact on the target has a different dimension. Knowing the formulae must be worth a few points, even if applying them is completely beyond you.īut again this speaks for a 203mm, which will not drop as much in speed and will bring 2,5 times the mass to the target compared to a 155mm. This is why lighter and faster shells lose energy far quicker than heavy but slow shells do. Further away than the muzzle, the light one has lost more speed than the heavy one has and, as you've so rightly noted, changes in velocity have a massive impact on energy. At the muzzle, the light and heavy shells would have near enough the same amount of energy. More velocity = more drag = faster loss of energy. The shells leave the barrel with the same energy as they would if they were heavier (or near enough, the heavier shell actually benefits from better internal ballistics), it's just that the velocity component is even more dominant. The only things that increase energy are more propellant and longer guns. Up to square of the speed in comparison to scaling 1:1 with mass. Increasing speed increases kinetic energy faster than increase of mass.
