Overview

Accord is a Commonwealth Tier VI premium cruiser that trades durability for gun count and an unusually deep consumable kit. Twelve 152 mm guns in four triple turrets reload in 8.0 s (12th of 44 Tier VI cruisers) for 189,000 HE damage per minute (9th of 37 with HE) and about 9 fires a minute (7th of 37). Six smoke charges on a 60 s reload, the most and the fastest-cycling smoke among the 11 Tier VI cruisers that carry it, let her fight from cover, and three Repair Party charges plus a choice of Sonar or Defensive AA Fire round out the kit. The trade is a 31,400 HP pool, 36th of 44, and no torpedo protection at all.

Positioning

Shoot from her own smoke at mid range: each screen lasts only 40 s, but it recharges every 60 s, so she can keep re-laying it through a long fight. She turns tightly, with a 600 m turning circle (7th of 44) and 95.9 percent of her speed kept in a turn (2nd of 44), which helps her dodge, but her 31.5 knot top speed is 40th of 44, so she cannot run from most cruisers once caught in the open. Her 7 km torpedoes hit hard, 16,400 damage each (5th of 34), but reload in 110 s, so save them for ships that blunder close to her smoke.

Potato Avoidance

Trading broadsides in the open with battleships and heavy cruisers

Her 31,400 HP sits near the bottom of Tier VI cruisers, her Repair Party restores little per second, and her AP shells hit for just 2,850 (39th of 43), so she loses a straight damage race. Her HE penetrates only 24.9 mm (29th of 37), so against well-armoured targets lean on fires rather than direct hits.

Signature Traits

Heavy torpedoes ↗

16400 damage per torpedo, top quartile of the 34 T6 CAs with torpedoes.

ELITE REPAIR PARTY ↗

Long heal window · 28 s
Extra heal charges · 3 Repair

ELITE SMOKE ↗

Extra smoke charges · 6 Smoke
Fast smoke cycle · 60 s

Quick acceleration ↗

~3.2 s from a stop to 12 kt, top decile of T6 CAs. Rebuilds speed quickly after a turn or a stop, so it re-angles and repositions without staying a stationary target.

Slow for the class ↗

31.5 kt, bottom quartile of T6 CAs. Hard to rotate flanks or disengage; commit positioning early.

Shallow effective HP ↗

44588 effective HP once Repair Party is counted, bottom quartile of T6 CAs. What you start with is close to all you get; there is little healing back.

Acquisition

How to get Accord

Accord is a Premium ship and not available to unlock in the Tech Tree. Acquisition path: Premium/Event.

Premium/EventAvailability usually depends on store rotations, event reruns, collaborations, coupons, or special offers.

While you save up, check active promo codes for free doubloons, camouflages, and other rewards.

Builds

Invest first in survivability, since her small HP pool leaves little margin for error. Next, anything that extends or recharges smoke and Repair Party multiplies her best tools, and fire-chance skills suit a ship that sets about 9 fires a minute. Check current picks in the Build Tool before committing points.

Fire resistance

top hull: 1 − 0.7003 fire coefficient = 30%. Does not reduce the damage a burning fire does per second: replay-measured burn ticks run at the full rate on every ship. By elimination it lowers how often hits set you on fire; ignition-rate replay data is consistent with that but too confounded by attacker mix to measure the reduction directly.

30%

Fire duration30 s

Fire damage

One unattended fire: 0.3% of max HP per second × 30 s = 9% of the pool = 9% × 31,400 HP = 2,826 HP on this ship. 4 fire points can burn at once. Verified against measured burn ticks in replay data.

0.3% of HP per second

Flood duration40 s

Flood damage

One unattended flood: 0.25% of max HP per second × 40 s = 10% of the pool = 10% × 31,400 HP = 3,140 HP on this ship. Verified against measured flood ticks in replay data.

0.25% of HP per second

Torp Reduction

1 − 0.333 hull torpedo-damage coefficient / 0.333 unprotected baseline = 0%. Reduces torpedo hit damage. Replay data shows no effect on floods: flood ticks run at the full rate and flood frequency does not decline with protection.

Magazine HP

Per-turret powder-magazine HP, a separate pool from the ship's. Penetrating hits wear it down and the turret is likelier to be knocked out as it falls, so a larger pool keeps the guns firing through punishment that silences a peer's.

15,700

Steering gear HP

Durability of the steering gears. As this pool drops, hits are likelier to jam the rudder; unlike most modules the steering can be knocked out and repaired but is never permanently destroyed.

9,400

Effective HP

Base 31,400 HP plus everything Repair Party can restore: 0.5%/s x 28 s = 4,396 HP per charge, x3 charges = 13,188 HP. Ceiling, not a prediction: a charge only restores damage actually taken, and only the regeneratable share of it. Across 1,826 players in our replay corpus the median ship realized about half of this, mostly because half the charges go unspent, and when Repair Party IS pressed it returns ~97% of the per-charge figure above.

Bow section HP

Damage saturation pool for the bow: penetrations here deal their normal share until roughly this much damage has landed on the section, then further hits on it deal half damage. Our replay analysis shows the step: once a section is saturated, a penetration there deals exactly half (Plymouth AP 1,125 to 563). Across 415 such steps in 180 battles, about 3 in 4 later penetrations on that ship dealt half; the rest landed on sections not yet saturated. A larger pool keeps that part of the ship taking full damage for longer; a small one saturates fast and protects the ship's HP.

1,100

Auxiliary section HP

Damage saturation pool for the auxiliary room: penetrations here deal their normal share until roughly this much damage has landed on the section, then further hits on it deal half damage. Our replay analysis shows the step: once a section is saturated, a penetration there deals exactly half (Plymouth AP 1,125 to 563). Across 415 such steps in 180 battles, about 3 in 4 later penetrations on that ship dealt half; the rest landed on sections not yet saturated. A larger pool keeps that part of the ship taking full damage for longer; a small one saturates fast and protects the ship's HP.

Our replay analysis shows the step: once a section is saturated, a penetration there deals exactly half (Plymouth AP 1,125 to 563). Across 415 such steps in 180 battles, about 3 in 4 later penetrations on that ship dealt half; the rest landed on sections not yet saturated. The superstructure is not exempt: it saturates exactly like the bow and stern, so shells aimed at it stop dealing full damage once this pool is used up. A larger pool keeps that part of the ship taking full damage for longer; a small one saturates fast and protects the ship's HP.

3,400

Stern section HP

Damage saturation pool for the stern: penetrations here deal their normal share until roughly this much damage has landed on the section, then further hits on it deal half damage. Our replay analysis shows the step: once a section is saturated, a penetration there deals exactly half (Plymouth AP 1,125 to 563). Across 415 such steps in 180 battles, about 3 in 4 later penetrations on that ship dealt half; the rest landed on sections not yet saturated. A larger pool keeps that part of the ship taking full damage for longer; a small one saturates fast and protects the ship's HP.

Citadel section HP

This section has no practical saturation cap: every hit here keeps dealing its normal share of damage (on most ships the citadel; on many destroyers the casemate).

Turret traverse arcs

How far each mount can train, in degrees to either side of the mount's own facing. A rear turret with ±150° leaves a 60° blind wedge over the bow; one-sided arcs are wing mounts that cover a single side. The data does not say which way each mount faces, so the arcs are listed per mount without bow/stern angles.

±141°, ±140°, ±143°, ±145°

Guns to bear

180° − 141° (the most restricted aft-facing mount's arc) = 39° off bow; 180° − 140° (the most restricted forward-facing mount's arc) = 40° off stern. How far off the bow (or stern) the ship must angle before every main turret can fire: the widest blind wedge among the rear-facing (or forward-facing) mounts, from each mount's trainable arc. Mount facing is inferred from turret stations and verified against known layouts, including Izumo's aft-facing forward turret.

Maximum simulated damage

Estimate of WG's in-game value; matches the in-game port screen within ±5%. Saturation: most targets only intersect one hull section, so the sim transfers ~1/3 of the warhead alpha (2/3 when the warhead blast >= 5000 and the burst reaches a second section). For this ship:

D_{sim} = α \cdot c = 49, 200 \cdot 0.333 = 16, 400

≈ 16,400

Maximum damage (ammunition)

49,200 warhead alpha / 3 + 1,100 blast = 17,500. The ammunition card's 'Maximum Damage' stat, exact: warhead alpha / 3 plus the blast addend. This is the per-torpedo number most references quote; the 'Maximum simulated damage' row above is WG's separate geometry-sim stat from the launcher spec panel.

Torpedo detectability1.3 km

Reaction time

How long a target has to dodge after your torpedo is spotted at its detectability range (lower means less warning):

t_{react} = \frac{1.3 km}{64 kt \times 2.6855} = 7.6 s

. The 2.6855 m/s-per-knot game-speed factor is calibrated from in-game measurement; the community's traditional 2.6 reads about 3% slower. Base value; commander torpedo-concealment skills lower it further. Community torpedo-reaction calculator by u/LorenDovah and u/The_ColorOutofSpace.

7.6 s

Flooding chance

Read straight from the game's own data: this torpedo carries a flooding-chance value of 2.96 per hit, shown as

2.96 \times 100 = 296 %

. Torpedo flood values above 100% are normal: in battle the base chance is scaled down by the target's torpedo protection (the Torp Reduction stat on its Survivability card) and any flood-resistance modifiers, so a value above 100% keeps flooding likely even through partial protection. Not shown on the in-game port screen.

AA explosions

Each ~2 s salvo fires 2 AA explosions in quick succession, each leaving 1 cloud ahead of the attacking squadron - up to 2 clouds per salvo × 180 damage each. Planes that fly into a cloud take its damage; clouds dissipate before the next salvo lands. Defensive AA Fire, where fitted, multiplies the AA explosions within each salvo, and commander skills that raise the Number of AA explosions add to it.

2 per salvo, 1 cloud each

Cloud damage

Damage a plane takes for flying into one flak cloud, before any reductions.

180

Cloud spawn chance

Each cloud in the pattern rolls this chance to spawn, so salvos average fewer clouds than the maximum. Often called flak 'hit chance', but spawned clouds always damage planes that fly into them - the roll is on spawning.

90%

Salvo interval

A new flak salvo (the AA explosions above) fires roughly every 2 s - timed frame-by-frame from gameplay footage and consistent across ships.

every ~2 s

Fired by

Flak keeps firing while at least one secondary battery mount is operational - even losing every dedicated AA mount does not stop it.

Secondary battery

Flak zone

The activation band: flak fires while attacking planes are inside it. Clouds are placed ahead of the planes' path, so clouds can land short of 2.5 km or past 5 km - once planes get inside the band, new salvos stop. AA range bonuses push the outer edge out; the 2.5 km inner edge does not move.

12.8 kt

Crash stop

Seconds from top speed to a dead stop after ordering full reverse: reverse power winds in over the reverse spool-up while water drag does most of the braking. Same community-model simulation as the acceleration times, using the ship's own reverse-power ratio. The full curve is on the acceleration chart. A real replay test (one ship, not this one) measured full reverse stopping about a quarter faster than a plain Stop order from top speed, and about a tenth faster from full reverse speed; this simulation only covers the full-reverse case.

27.2 s

Engine boost threshold (reverse)

Speed below which the engine's built-in power boost applies in reverse. Matches the in-game maneuverability card's reverse threshold (Vampire II reads 10.5 here and the card shows 11; the card rounds half up).

9 s

Acceleration 0-99%

Time to reach 99% of top speed (31.2 kt of 31.5 kt). 99% rather than 100% because true top speed is asymptotic (thrust meets drag), so the last fraction of a knot is never quite gained.

24.8 s

Traverse-to-turn ratio

How many degrees the turret can swing for each degree the hull turns. Turn rate

ω_{hull} = \frac{180}{π} \cdot \frac{V_{max} (m/s)}{R_{turn}} = \frac{180}{π} \cdot \frac{31.5 \cdot 0.5144}{600} = 1.55 ° / s

, so

ratio = \frac{ω_{turret}}{ω_{hull}} = \frac{7}{1.55} = 4.5 \times

. Below 5 the turrets drag in a turning fight; 25+ keeps up with any rudder.

Main battery formulas

Shell Grouping (σ)2

Dispersion typeStandard cruiser

In practice: the baseline curve for a standard cruiser -- at max range (14.9 km) shells land in an ellipse about 136 m wide and 82 m tall. Also on this curve (215): AL Baltimore, AL Chapayev, AL Cheshire, AL Harbin, AL Montpelier, AL Tallinn, AL Zara, Aberdeen, Agano, Albemarle, Algérie, Algérie W and 203 more.

vs standard cruiserStandard

The standard cruiser dispersion curve.

Max Horiz Disp135.9 m at 14.9 km

Horizontal dispersion ellipse width at max range, from the verified WoWS dispersion model:  $σ_{H} = (\frac{R}{30} \cdot \frac{idealRadius - minRadius}{idealDistance} + minRadius) \cdot 30$   $= (\frac{14920}{30} \cdot \frac{8 - 1.1}{1000} + 1.1) \cdot 30 = 135.9 m$

Shell scatter width @ 5 km67.5 m

(166.7 × (8 − 1.1) / 1000 + 1.1) × 30 = 67.5 m. Horizontal scatter at a fixed 5 km, from the same verified dispersion model as the rows below - a knife-fight-range anchor comparable across ships.

Shell scatter width @ 10 km102 m

(333.3 × (8 − 1.1) / 1000 + 1.1) × 30 = 102 m. How wide your shells scatter at 10 km, from the same dispersion model as the max-range figure above. Picking a fixed range makes this number directly comparable from ship to ship: max-range dispersion makes a longer-range gun look worse even when it's tighter at any common range. The interactive Dispersion tab on the Charts card plots the full curve from 0 to max range.

Max Vert Disp81.6 m at 14.9 km

Vertical dispersion ellipse height at max range: $σ_{V} = σ_{H} \cdot radiusOnMax$ $= 135.9 \cdot 0.6 = 81.6 m$

Shell scatter height @ 5 km27.1 m

How tall the scatter ellipse is at a fixed 5 km, from the same verified model, comparable from ship to ship. The height/width ratio is a piecewise-linear curve through three points from the ship's own dispersion data:  $radiusOnZero = 0.2$  at 0 m,  $radiusOnDelim = 0.5$  at  $delim \cdot R_{m a x} = 0.5 \cdot 14920 = 7460$  m, and  $radiusOnMax = 0.6$  at 14920 m. Below the kink:  $k = 0.2 + (0.5 - 0.2) \cdot \frac{5000}{7460} = 0.4011$ , so  $σ_{V} = σ_{H} \cdot k = 67.5 \cdot 0.4011 = 27.1 m$ .

Shell scatter height @ 10 km54.5 m

How tall the same scatter ellipse is at 10 km. Comparable from ship to ship for the same reason as the width value above. The height/width ratio is a piecewise-linear curve through three points from the ship's own dispersion data:  $radiusOnZero = 0.2$  at 0 m,  $radiusOnDelim = 0.5$  at  $delim \cdot R_{m a x} = 0.5 \cdot 14920 = 7460$  m, and  $radiusOnMax = 0.6$  at 14920 m. Above the kink:  $k = 0.5 + (0.6 - 0.5) \cdot \frac{10000 - 7460}{14920 - 7460} = 0.534$ , so  $σ_{V} = σ_{H} \cdot k = 102 \cdot 0.534 = 54.5 m$ .

Med Horiz Disp40.8 m at 14.9 km

50%-hit horizontal radius: $σ_{H, 50} = σ_{H} \cdot \frac{0.6}{σ}$ $= 135.9 \cdot \frac{0.6}{2} = 40.8 m$

Med Vert Disp24.5 m at 14.9 km

50%-hit vertical radius: $σ_{V, 50} = σ_{V} \cdot \frac{0.6}{σ}$ $= 81.6 \cdot \frac{0.6}{2} = 24.5 m$

AP Pen Close314.4 mm point-blank

Canonical community AP formula (jcw780/wows_shell), evaluated at muzzle velocity:  $P = 10^{- 7} \cdot K \cdot m^{0.69} \cdot d^{- 1.07} \cdot v_{0}^{1.38}$   $= 10^{- 7} \cdot 2811 \cdot {44.45}^{0.69} \cdot {0.152}^{- 1.07} \cdot 841^{1.38} = 314.4 mm$ . Matches the in-game spec card.

AP Pen Far87.9 mm at 14.9 km

Same formula at the ship's max firing range (14.9 km), where the shell has slowed to 334 m/s:  $P = 10^{- 7} \cdot 2811 \cdot {44.45}^{0.69} \cdot {0.152}^{- 1.07} \cdot 334^{1.38} = 87.9 mm$ .

HE flight time @ 10 km6.21 s

How long an HE shell takes to reach a target at a fixed 10 km, from the same numerically integrated trajectory the Charts card plots. The shell slows under quadratic air drag,  $a_{drag} = k ρ v^{2}$ , where  $ρ$  is air density from a standard-atmosphere profile and  $k$  bundles the shell's drag coefficient, caliber and mass:  $k = \frac{π C_{d} d^{2}}{8 m} = \frac{π \cdot 0.28 \cdot {0.152}^{2}}{8 \cdot 44.45} = 5.72 \times 10^{- 5}$ . That runs from a 841 m/s muzzle velocity in 0.02 s steps under gravity 9.8 m/s² until the shell lands, then divides by 2.77: the game clock runs faster than real time, and that factor was measured against stopwatch runs in the Training Room. Lower is better, since a faster shell is harder to dodge and needs less lead.

AP flight time @ 10 km6.21 s

How long an AP shell takes to reach a target at a fixed 10 km, from the same numerically integrated trajectory the Charts card plots. The shell slows under quadratic air drag,  $a_{drag} = k ρ v^{2}$ , where  $ρ$  is air density from a standard-atmosphere profile and  $k$  bundles the shell's drag coefficient, caliber and mass:  $k = \frac{π C_{d} d^{2}}{8 m} = \frac{π \cdot 0.28 \cdot {0.152}^{2}}{8 \cdot 44.45} = 5.72 \times 10^{- 5}$ . That runs from a 841 m/s muzzle velocity in 0.02 s steps under gravity 9.8 m/s² until the shell lands, then divides by 2.77: the game clock runs faster than real time, and that factor was measured against stopwatch runs in the Training Room. Lower is better, since a faster shell is harder to dodge and needs less lead.

HE penetration25 mm

25 mm ≈ 152 mm caliber / 6 (standard HE penetration ratio).

AP overmatch10 mm

floor(152 mm caliber / 14.3) = 10 mm (AP auto-penetrates plating this thick or less).

AP AOE Radius16

AP shell over-penetration splash radius; scales with shell mass. Wickes 102mm = 3, standard 152mm CL ~ 20, Iowa 406mm ~ 270, Yamato 460mm = 400, Incomparable 650mm = 550 (max). Larger value = bigger splash damage area when AP over-pens.

Guns per full salvo (alpha, DPM)12

4 mounts × 3 barrels = 12; all 12 bear on the broadside.

Turret turn time25.7 s

180 degrees / 7 deg/s traverse speed = 25.7 s.

HE full-salvo alpha25,200

2,100 HE damage x 12 broadside guns = 25,200.

AP full-salvo alpha34,200

2,850 AP damage x 12 broadside guns = 34,200.

HE DPM189,000

25,200 HE full-salvo alpha x 60 / 8 s base reload = 189,000.

AP DPM256,500

34,200 AP full-salvo alpha x 60 / 8 s base reload = 256,500.

Shells/min90

12 broadside guns x 60 / 8 s base reload = 90.

Fires/min9

90 shells/min x 10% fire chance = 9.

Torpedoes

Torpedo detectability1.3 km

Estimated torpedo reaction time7.6 s

1300 m / (64 kt × 2.6855) = 7.6 s. detectability / (speed kt x 2.6855 game-speed factor, m/s per knot, calibrated from in-game measurement; the community's traditional 2.6 reads about 3% slower).

Torpedo speed64 kt

Travel time to max range40.7 s

7000 m / (64 kt × 2.6855) = 40.7 s. range / (speed kt x 2.6855 game-speed factor, m/s per knot, calibrated from in-game measurement).

Torpedo module damage1,100

Per-torpedo module/blast damage parameter. Most torpedoes carry 500 to 2,000; ships announced by WG as dealing increased module damage carry 9,000 to 12,000, so their hits knock out engines, rudders, and turrets far more often. Comparative figure; the exact module-HP conversion is not published.

Tube count6

2 launchers x 3 tubes.

Per-side salvo3 torpedoes

6 tubes / 2 = 3: tube count / 2 (symmetric port/starboard launcher layout; common on cruisers and battleships with deck torpedoes).

Full-salvo damage98,400

All tubes hitting one target: tubes x per-torpedo simulated damage = 6 x 16,400 = 98,400.

Per-side salvo damage49,200

One side firing, all torpedoes hitting: per-side tubes x per-torpedo simulated damage = 3 x 16,400 = 49,200.

AA defense

AA DPS at max range54

Only families that reach 5 km contribute at the outer edge of the AA bubble. In-game families: 2 pdr MkVII Quad 2x4 -> 50 DPS @ 2.5 km; 20mm Oerlikon MK V 10x2 -> 137 DPS @ 2 km; 4in45 QF Mk XIX 4x2 -> 54 DPS @ 5 km.

Maximum AA range5 km

Longest-reaching family on the in-game AA card. Base AirDefense aura max range is 2.5 km; dual-purpose mount auras extend it.

AA DPS layered by range54 DPS @ 5 km, 104 DPS @ 2.5 km, 241 DPS @ 2 km

@ 5 km: 54 from one family; @ 2.5 km: 50 + 54 = 104; @ 2 km: 50 + 137 + 54 = 241. Cumulative AA DPS at each family range threshold. Inner ranges stack the outer families, so a target closing the distance hits stronger AA bubbles as it crosses each band.

AA DPS at point-blank241

50 + 137 + 54 = 241 DPS: the sum of every family's average DPS, achievable only inside the closest-range family (2 km).

AA threat index669

50 × 2.5 + 137 × 2 + 54 × 5 = 669. SUM over AA auras of (aura DPS x aura range km). A plane crossing the AA bubble is exposed to each aura for a time proportional to that aura's range, so long-reach DPS is worth more than the same DPS in a short bubble. Units: DPS*km; used to rank overall AA threat across the cohort.

Near aura range2 km

Secondary battery dispersion

Secondary dispersion typeStandard

Max dispersion = range (km) × 57 + 30. Each dispersion type sets its own slope; this is not a percentage applied to a standard baseline.

Max secondary dispersion @ 5.6 km349.2 m

5.6 km × 57 + 30 = 349.2 m.

Secondary dispersion @ 5 km315 m

Same per-type line evaluated at a fixed 5 km: 5 km × 57 + 30 = 315 m.

Secondary battery firepower

Secondary DPM (per side)120,000

Sum across all secondary families of (per-side barrels × 60 / reload_s × alpha), where per-side barrels = mounts × barrels-per-mount / 2 (the guns that bear on one broadside target). Per-family: 4×2 102 mm (4/side) × 60/3 × 1500 = 120,000. Assumes every shell hits (real hit rate is lower; the Brawl matchup tool on the Compare page folds in dispersion + target armor).

Max HE alpha1500

The only family (102 mm): 1500. Maximum HE damage per shell across secondary HE families. Best on this ship: 1500 from the 102 mm family.

Max HE fire chance6%

The only family (102 mm): 6%. Maximum per-shell fire chance across secondary HE families (before target fire resistance is applied). Best on this ship: 6% from the 102 mm family.

Max HE pen17 mm

The only family (102 mm): 17 mm. Maximum HE armor penetration across secondary HE families (caliber × 1/6 for most nations; 1/4 for German/UK BBs). Shells whose pen falls under a plate's armor thickness shatter for 0 hull damage though fire chance still applies. Best on this ship: 17 mm from the 102 mm family.

Background

The Accord Initiative's signature style is immediately recognizable. The practicality of this ship has been refined to the absolute limit, while her sharp geometric forms are designed for those who prefer order over compromise.

Armor Beta

Hull HP 31,400, distributed across 5 hull zones, each with its own plate thicknesses, saturation cap, and pen thresholds. HP caps are estimated from the standard WoWs damage-allocation model.

Bow & stern16 mm

Overmatched by 126+ AP guns across the bracket. Can’t reliably bow-tank; gets bow-citadelled and overpenned.

Belt / citadel114 mm

Thin belt: battleship AP citadels straight through it broadside. Rely on angle, speed and concealment, never sit flat.

Farming9 mm

Superstructure and extremities take HE pens and AP overpens from nearly any gun: steady chip damage. Fire resistance 30%, fires burn 30s. Range-by-range in the Compare tool →

Citadel	114 mm primary (range 10–114 mm)	no cap	Citadel pen: full damageOver-pen: ×0.10 damage	Effectively no cap; citadel pool sits at ~165k HP on every ship. An AP citadel penetration deals the shell's full damage, the biggest single hit available; only over-penetrations are damped, to ×0.10.
Superstructure	9 mm primary (range 9–114 mm)	no cap	Any HE ≥16 mm pens at full damage	Any HE ≥16 mm pens at full damage. HE-spam target, and the section saturates fast (often only a few thousand HP).

Saturation cap = HP a section can absorb before further damage to it is reduced (the "bow-tank" effect). Citadel pool is ~165k on every ship (effectively no cap); damage is gated by pen/over-pen multipliers instead. Superstructure saturates fast but HE always pens regardless of the plate thickness. Rudder (and other module HPs) are a separate pool from ship HP: damaging a module doesn't drain ship HP. Incapacitated modules like the rudder and engine are restored by DCP, but secondary and AA mounts destroyed at 0 HP stay out for the rest of the battle.
