I want to shot lasers for a change even if the range is shorter. I've seen too many of my targets get destroyed just before one of my salvos pepper the fiery corpse. Thanks!

Check the shell velocity in the stats, the faster the shell, the flatter the trajectory. That's not necessarily true. Air drag and weight play an equally important role. For example the 100mm of the IJN gunboats that have 1000 m/s start losing speed quickly and at 8km are already floaty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as Cruisers go these have great initial velocity. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
