Question: on the submarine, what's the perceived advantage of the twin 75mm's versus a single larger cannon?

5

Monday, February 13th 2006, 7:54pm

Rate of fire I suppose, now that you mention it though they do seem kind of weak. Atlantis is more concerned with their torpedo armament being adequate.

6

Monday, February 13th 2006, 8:01pm

I'd think rate of fire should not be too much of a requirement: when a submarine is firing it's deck gun, most of the time it shouldn't be receiving fire in return (else why is that submarine on the surface where it can be fired at?). A single larger cannon would do a better job of sinking lone ships that can be sunk without using up a torpedo.

I'm certain the submariners will approve of the larger effect when they get hits with their deck guns. And while the sub is a bit bigger, it's not that much larger than the preceding design.

It also helps that all the little tweaks didn't effect the comp. strength in the end, I hate recalculating the various depths in both Imperial and metric!
