This is a great guide.
I have a question about LHE vs AP rounds. It would be good to have a guide about when to switch to AP with certain guns vs certain ships.
My guess at the AW ships (are there any besides UK?) are: Nelly, POW, KGV, L1, L2, QE
In IJN BB line the guns are pretty simple going from 12" duals (Kongo, Asama), 12.2"trips (b65), 14"N (Asama), 14"L (Fuso/Ise), 16"D (Fuso/Ise ftw setup), 16"L (Naggy), 18.1L (Yammy), 18.9 (SuperYam), 20.1" (Amagi).
It would be nice to know which ships can bounce (typically) which shells. I know that IJN has decent reload and thus the accepted technique is to fire first LHE and then see how much damage you scored but in the scenario where you get jumped by some UK ship appearing out of the mist every salvo counts.
Is there a certain gun size where you don't even need to bother with AP (i.e. 20.1" Amagi guns)? I know that it is complicated because gun angle affects armor bounce, so for the purpose of this question lets assume max angle firing.
Thanks in advance.
