15.5cm/60mm Naval gun

[DOCUP]

I was looking around and saw that this gun has a penetration of 231mm for a 6in naval gun. Is this correct?

Stock and my mod say 222 - yes, ( there is a CD gun of it as well) it seems high, but only slightly higher than US guns at around 200, and much higher than UK guns, around 120 . lower ROF as well, but the shell is quite a bit heavier. Most info suggests it was a good gun.

When examining armor penetration for a particular gun, one has to consider:

age and wear of the gun barrel
age and source of propellant
crew proficiency
atmospheric conditions affecting trajectory and atmospheric friction on projectile
age, oxidation, location, slant and chemical composition of armor being penetrated
impact angle
and other factors

Therefore, variance of a few millimeters is not to be unexpected. Of course, reliability of the primary source is also an issue. I wouldn't let this detract from enjoying the game.
