the only guns the IJN have that are capable of block shot are the triple 6.1s. No
dual guns in the game can block, and the uk gets the only blocking BB guns with
their 14" quads.

well, more or less ^^'
already read the adalbert guide, thought i didnt read the equations. a bit lazy on that.
And yet i thought that guide could be outdated, so this is why my (silly) question ^^'

I don't suppose you actually understand how sailor abilities work, do you...

i read some random posts when i was searching if ijn had any blockshoting guns. 3 or 4 ppl
said so, and since no1 refuted them, i kept on wondering....

Who gave you that idea?

No, the 20.1" don't block. At the level that you get them at, your gunners will have
already hit the accuracy cap, so a Seaman does absolutely nothing to help spread.

sry for the necro, but i rly, rly wanted to know one thing

is it true that, with 2 seamen, you can blockshot with the dual 20.1''??!?

thats a good q.. but 18.9 i find punch through like slicing butter with a hot knife
on anything but a L1 under say.. 35 degrees. down to belt angle. 45 degrees on
an AW L1 can still net u 30k for a full salvo. L2 is even easier. I rarely end up
using AP. unless i have a lot of time to think about changing ammo. LHE does
just fine :)

what abt the piercing ability of the 20.1? can it go thru british armourwhore?

congrats on finally getting the guns :P took you long enough..!! :) the funny thing is
laoji only tested 2 guns, as he only had 1 gunner at 115 at the time lol...

20.1 are ABSOLUTELY pointless, in comparison to 18.9's

Only real advantage of 20.1" so far is ability to block.
