  • Gunner accuracy question

Adalbert's accuracy formula:
Accuracy = (FCS + GunRev) * ((3 * true ability /1000000) + 1)

I'm having trouble applying this calculation to my crew.

My KM CL Bayern has four dual 8"/60 SK C/31 L turrets, and level 46 gunners with roughly 300k true ability in accuracy. The CL FCS II has a revision of +67. I'm assuming my guns don't block (I'm not sure) so they're a zero. This gives me:

Accuracy = (67 + 0) * ((3*300k/1M) + 1)
Accuracy = 67 * (0.9 + 1)
Accuracy = 67 * 1.9
Accuracy = 127

So now I have a number, 127. The problem is I don't know how to interpret it. When will my gunners stop sucking at hitting targets?

if you run 4 gun slots it's prolly a motlke with a ca fcs?

if you want to block try running the trip 5.9's, those can block,
the 8" will never do so (the can group nicely, but not block).

you'll find the better reload + the better accuracy to be a nice advantage over the 8" (the L's have a nice range as well)

i dont like calculating stuff, when it isnt about tradeing sailors, so i wont go there.

and last but not least; if you can't hit with spread, you can surely not hit whilst blocking ;)

Thanks for the response, but I was talking about the CL Bayern, and I'm not trying to block. I just want to know how much true ability I need to get my spread to its optimal tightness for the guns I have (had).

forget the numbers.
try and bve your gunners and it'll be the best it can be.

That would be lvl 120 gunners to get the best spread on the 8".
And Km 8"never ever gets a good spread, pretty decent is the best you can hope for.

Also that formula is pretty meaningless, we don't know how to interpret its outcome.
The limiting on ability that was used in the formula was the only bit of information in the formula we understood, as that is the "accuracy cap".
But that cap has since been changed and we don't know by how much, as we can't see the formula at work any more.
Accuracy cap for 120 gunners has been guessed to be somewhere near 1.6-1.8 M TA.

Fair enough.

Ah, thank you! This is exactly what I couldn't understand. I suppose it's only really useful then to know how important my FCS value is compared to my gunner skill.

Right, I had read that the cap was no longer clearly known.

Thanks for shedding some light on this, Danita.
