  • UK BB Gun Range test

Ok, so I have decided to make a test with the UK Gun ranges since Adalberts Gun Range
thread was rendered outdated by bb34 patch.

Note: This is a work in progress and will update this week.

Note 2: Moar screenshots coming this week if I can finish this.


Vanguard 16" Mark IV L
Lion 1 16" Mark IV L
King George V/Prince of Wales 14" Mark IV N


Queen Elizabeth/Repulse 15" Mark III N
Hood 15" Mark III L
Vanguard 15" Mark IV L


Lion 1 16" Mark IV L
Nelson 16" Mark I L
Queen Elizabeth/Repulse 15" Mark III N


16" Mark II L
Nelson 16" Mark I L
Queen Elizabeth/Repulse 15" Mark III N

But basically, taking from Vanny/L1/Nelly/Hood/QE/PoW*KGV* guns, the initial test
concludes that.

Vanny 15" Ls = Lion 1 Ls and Nelly Ls = Hood 15" Ls = QE Mark III Ns which leaves KGV/Pow
block shotters the same range as the Nelly Ds. Though I'll still need to test the other Ds/Ns

Test was done in Test Mission #3, Shooting West to East.

Will test for Revenge guns next.

Good work, but could you please post the first four pics again. The Link seems to be
broken. Thank you ;)

Good effort Hp78. The results show Vanny ranges L1 by a bit, but you have to do the range
testing from west to east (or vice versa), rather than from north to south (vice versa).
Range tests need to be done that way because of NF physics, I'm afraid. =(

if u're gonna make a worth range chart, u gotta shoot at least 16 shells per gun, take
measures of each shell, and then make an average of it. Looking at a given spread and "oh,
this line should pass through here" doesnt work very well. Besides, it is very common (or
at least it was with IJN guns) that certain full voley goes a bit with lesser range, which
i believed that was what happened with vanny/L1 test in the OP

Do note. Spread is super inconsistent for me, roughly guessed average range of each gun.
Looking through them, I would say they're pretty much off by a few centimeters here and
there, but would give the general idea.
Also this is the default zoom, full zoom out would probably be x0.6 of this.

16" Trips comparisons



Hood VS QE guns


Vanny VS Lion

Vanny 15s vs Trip 16s


Mesh it all up

i can tell you vanny definitely ranges L1. The range is not significant but the
difference is still there.

I've messed around a little bit with UK BB ranges. AFAIK:
Dunk Quads: 34-34.5
Dual Mk III N: 34-34.4
Nelson trips: 34.2-34.3
L1 trips: 35-36

(Spot the at-level spread)

As far as this goes, it agrees with the above screenshots...

Vanny definitely ranges Lion 1, albeit the difference is small, it is still noticeable.
Otherwise, I would have noticed.

According to your conclusions, QE 15"=Hood 15". I have my doubts that QE 15" is equal to
Hood 15", but QE 15" may be equal to 16" Nelson,
since I've had it only pre-patch.

Sorry but do you have a vanny or access to the vanny guns?

The only time I see the vanny guns range the L1 is only by a hairs breath, and that's when
it's inconsistent shots. soo ya... =P
