Introduction
条約下で保有数に制限のあった重巡を、火力を増強した強力な軽巡で補うために開発されました。
初の三連装砲でしたが、射程・発射速度・運用面全てに高い評価を得ることになりました。
後に有名な「大和」型戦艦の副砲としても採用されています。
対空戦にも効果を発揮する傑作砲です。
Developed to cover the absence of heavy cruisers, which were restricted under naval treaty, by deploying light cruisers with enhanced firepower.
It was the first 3-gun turret, highly rated in every aspects such as range, firing rate and actual operation.
Was later equipped as secondary guns for Yamato class.
Could be used in anti-air firing as well.
Notes
Buildable
- Ooyodo is the only CL that benefits from fit bonuses from this gun. Some CAs (probably Mogami and possibly Tone class) also see unknown bonuses.
Improvement
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Collection/EnemyShips' not found.
Trivia
Equipped by Mogami-class cruisers before they were converted into heavy cruisers by swapping their gun into 20.3 cm turrets. The Mogami-class was designed as a heavy cruiser, but the naval treaty at the time defined cruiser types by main gun caliber so it was a sort of regulation loophole. The other ships that also equip this are the Yamato-class battleship and the Ooyodo-class light cruiser, while the Tone-class heavy cruisers were originally planned to use these guns.
