ST, 203 mm SAP shells

Ricochet angles for 203 mm semi-armor-piercing shells changed from 80-85 to 75-80.

Due to over performing ricochet angles and subsequently high damage, 203 mm SAP shells were too effective: angling offered almost no protection against them due to such parameters.

Please note that the information in the Development Blog is preliminary, and balancing ricochet angles and other parameters of the new shell type may take several test iterations.
