R/C Naval Combat

Jeez Mikey,
That just crazy!!! The reason i was ask is, My dad and i starting talking about this, I was thing it was closer to 350FPS!!!

Nope. As far as I know, there has been no recorded BB shot faster than 300 feet per second. At least no BB shot out of a fast gun cannon with no more than 150 psi pressure behind it.

ya!! Last year, I almost got hit, and i thing that way Steven Andrews called me up with him! But anyway! has anyone ever clocked them or what???

@Iceman I have had several opportunities to try non-rotating guns. They are standard fare as torpedoes on DDs and CLs, but I think my battleship experiences would be more relevant. I've fought several battles with fried or stripped rotation mechanisms, where all I could do was set the guns to one side or the other before battle. It may have improved my hit rate slightly, but the opportunity cost was great. Without rotation, I missed far more opportunities to shoot, resulting in less than half my usual expenditure of ammunition. Since the gain (if any) was unnoticeable, the end result was far less damage dished out, for the same amount of damage taken.

Nikki,

Recorded means clocked, so yes.

In BG without the Reverse option using a fixed Turret will lessen your accuracy particularly if your not used to maneuving your ship to aim the cannon at a moving target or fixed target. I would think the scale ratio for accuracy rating would be different for BG as opposed to FG.
