Talk:Prototype 46cm Twin Gun Mount/@comment-26216186-20150429130214

After doing some reading between the 51 and 46, its 9 times outta 10 better to have the 46cm. I did it on hard. I made a mistake. The 51cm is only ever "good" if you put it on the Nagato class. If your not a fan of the Nagato class, your drawing the short straw here. I'm a huge fan of the Kongous and I'm really damn annoyed with myself.

Why not on the Yamato? Well the Yamatos easily reach the firepower cap even without the 51cm. Giving them this gun is just pointless. The only kind of advantage they can get from this is less than a 5 firepower increase in night battle (someone else did the calculations). Not really worth it.

The major things with this gun that I don't like and the reason I'm beating myself up is the accuracy reductions. 46cm proto increases accuracy, +1, this gun, reduces accuracy -1. This gun also has a fairly substantial impact on the overload penalty (being a 51cm and all). That just mixes together to be a cocktail of misses. If you plan to use this, I highly advise that you equip other proto guns which give bonus accuracy or the 35.6cm dazzle or something with it. In a game of RNG, accuracy is what you want.

So in short:

'''DO MEDIUM IF NAGATO CLASS ISNT YOUR FAVOURITE. EVEN THEN, THE BENEFITS ARE MARGINAL.'''

I might be wrong in what I said, if I am, please correct me.
