This one? Something similar may as well appear at some time.


I'd like to see what battleships can laugh at 6 (trials) and 4 (combat) RPM. If we're talking about Kirov - their main problem was barrel life, especially for first batch of guns, which had no liner. And it wasn't a light cruiser.
Though, it's a topic for different and separate discussion, if you're intrested.

That's true for first batch 180mm guns for the kirovs from early 30ies, which was indeed done by shipbuilding industry being almost in ruins, not 130mm design from late 40ies, which has almost 20 times barrel life than the first one.

Italian naval gns are kinda famous for their short barrel life.

I was talking about naval guns, obviously, not infantry rifles.
But still, if you want to make a discussion about different countries doctrines, gun capabitlities and all related stuff - you can make a separate topic and I'll be glad to discuss that.

Perhaps you misunderstood me. One of the reasons soviet naval guns of the 30ies was heavy influence of Italian school and italian techincal aid. So the guns had great ballistics, but shorter barrel life. Brown water and all of that.
Late 16-inch is this gun:

It still stands there.
18-inch, is as with many other T-10 guns is based on a late 40ies project.
Entire line was being tested.

130mm/58

And that is true.


While officially 130mm/58 wasn't put into service until 1957, several destroyers were commissioned with those guns before that:
Neustrashimy - laid down 1950 comissioned 1953
Kotlin class - laid down 1953, earliest commisioned in 1955.


I've read it. Well, there were no takeovers, and the balancing process hasn't changed. I've been seeing talks about russian bias for years, and for all this time the opposite talk about American/German/Frehch bias has also existed.
We do not at the least wan't to introduce gamebreaking OP ships in the game, and even more so to just create one OP nation. There is just no reason to do that.
