Shell Grouping (σ)2
Shell grouping (sigma); shown in-game as Shell Grouping.
Max Horiz Disp94.9 m
Horizontal dispersion ellipse width at max range, from the verified WoWS dispersion model: $\sigma_H = \left(\dfrac{R}{30}\cdot\dfrac{\text{idealRadius}-\text{minRadius}}{\text{idealDistance}} + \text{minRadius}\right)\cdot 30$ $= \left(\dfrac{10652}{30}\cdot\dfrac{8-0.5}{1000} + 0.5\right)\cdot 30 = 94.9\,\text{m}$
Max Vert Disp56.9 m
Vertical dispersion ellipse height at max range: $\sigma_V = \sigma_H \cdot \text{radiusOnMax}$ $= 94.9 \cdot 0.6 = 56.9\,\text{m}$
Med Horiz Disp30.3 m
50%-hit horizontal radius: $\sigma_{H,50} = \sigma_H \cdot \text{GetHalfHitsRatio}(\sigma)$ $= 94.9 \cdot 0.319\;(\sigma = 2) = 30.3\,\text{m}$
Med Vert Disp18.2 m
50%-hit vertical radius: $\sigma_{V,50} = \sigma_V \cdot \text{GetHalfHitsRatio}(\sigma)$ $= 56.9 \cdot 0.32\;(\sigma = 2) = 18.2\,\text{m}$
AP Pen Close177.9 mm
Canonical community AP formula (jcw780/wows_shell), evaluated at muzzle velocity: $P = 10^{-7}\cdot K \cdot m^{0.69} \cdot d^{-1.07} \cdot v_0^{1.38}$ $= 10^{-7}\cdot 1721 \cdot 24^{0.69} \cdot 0.12^{-1.07} \cdot 900^{1.38} = 177.9\,\text{mm}$. Matches the in-game spec card.
AP Pen Far39.3 mm
Same formula at the ship's max firing range (13.3 km), where the shell has slowed to 301.1 m/s: $P = 10^{-7}\cdot 1721 \cdot 24^{0.69} \cdot 0.12^{-1.07} \cdot 301.1^{1.38} = 39.3\,\text{mm}$.
HE penetration20 mm
20 mm ≈ 120 mm caliber / 6 (standard HE penetration ratio).
AP overmatch8 mm
floor(120 mm caliber / 14.3) = 8 mm (AP auto-penetrates plating this thick or less).
AP AOE Radius8
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.
Broadside guns used for alpha7
All 7 barrels bear on the broadside.
Turret turn time18 s
180 degrees / 10 deg/s traverse speed = 18 s.
HE full-salvo alpha11,900
1,700 HE damage x 7 broadside guns = 11,900.
AP full-salvo alpha15,400
2,200 AP damage x 7 broadside guns = 15,400.
Base HE DPM119,000
11,900 HE full-salvo alpha x 60 / 6 s base reload = 119,000.
Base AP DPM154,000
15,400 AP full-salvo alpha x 60 / 6 s base reload = 154,000.
Base shells/min70
7 broadside guns x 60 / 6 s base reload = 70.
Base fires/min5.6
7 HE shells x 60 / 6 s reload x 8% fire chance = 5.6.
Torpedoes
Torpedo detectability1.2 km
Estimated torpedo reaction time6.7 s
detectability / (speed kt x 2.6 community game-speed factor).
Torpedo speed69 kt
Travel time to max range53 s
range / (speed kt x 2.6 community game-speed factor).
Tube count6
2 launchers x 3 tubes.
Per-side salvo6 torpedoes
6 (centerline launchers train across - full salvo to either side).
Full-salvo damage90,600
All tubes hitting one target: tubes x per-torpedo simulated damage = 6 x 15,100 = 90,600.
Per-side salvo damage90,600
One side firing, all torpedoes hitting: per-side tubes x per-torpedo simulated damage = 6 x 15,100 = 90,600.
AA defense
Close-range AA DPS113
Sum across every AA aura on this ship of (aura.continuous_damage x 3.5 x aura.hit_probability). Here: (19×3.5×1) + (14×3.5×0.95) = 113. Covers AA-only mounts plus dual-purpose secondaries (Bismarck 105mm, USN 5"/38 cruiser secondaries) and dual-purpose main batteries (Sumner-class 5"/38, Akizuki-line 100mm). Formula validated against in-game captures on California, Sumner, Manfred von Richthofen, Dante Alighieri (exact) and within +/-17% on the remaining verified ships.
Maximum AA range3.5 km
Longest-reaching aura across AA-only + dual-purpose auras.
AA threat index289
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 range1.2 km
