Talk:Combat/Overweight Penalty and Fit Gun Bonus/@comment-72.130.114.167-20161205215501/@comment-28069733-20161205222654

You can safely ignore the 14cms, the 15.2cm and the 203mm. The 14cm and 15.2cm are both terrible in stats to the point of being mostly useless, even with the fit bonus, while the 203mm/53 pasta gun gives an accuracy penalty.

While the 15.5cm red has 1 accuracy higher than the standard 20.3cm, but 1 FP less, it still has limited uses because it does not give the fit bonus like the 20.3cm does. Consider just ditching them instead, unless you prefer accuracy over firepower and you want to use them on CLs.

The secondary guns, while sometimes useful, does not allow ships to perform Artillery Spotting. The strength of those secondary guns are as follows: OTO > 15.5cm > 15.2cm

For CL(T), assuming that there is no Artillery Spotting available, you mainly want to use the following guns from strongest to weakest based on stats: 15.2cm Kai = 20.3cm(3) > 20.3cm(2) > 15.2cm > OTO > 15.5cm > 20.3cm = 15.5cm In case Artillery Spotting is available, do not use secondary guns. The 15.2cm main guns are there as an option if you want to focus on accuracy instead while also getting a fit bonus, which is a valid option.

For CA(V), the list is even shorter: 20.3cm(3) > 20.3cm(2) > 20.3cm > 15.5cm red

As only the 20.3cm and the 20.3cm(3) give fit bonuses, you are recommended to have at least one of them if you know that a night battle is going to take place.
