Secondary guns

Now, when firing from secondary guns, the detectability range of the ship can increase if the firing range of the secondary guns exceeds the visibility of the ship. This change will not affect the detectability of ships firing secondary guns from a smoke screen.

 

So I was wondering the point of this change? is there any ship that secondary guns exceed his concealment?? 

Cant remember that I ever played a ship where I shoot only my secondary guns while I was dark ( not considering smoke).

So guys what do you think why did they put this? Am I missing something?

Can't say off hand. Possibly some of the high tier cruisers... although more likely high tier BB's with access to the relevant captain skills. Then, of course you cant a little more with the signals, regardless of the class. What about the CV's?

Thunderstorm fronts reduce detection range by 10%. This change will prevent those edge cases where ships like the high tier German CCs with concealment close to their secondary range can fire their secondaries undetected in open water.

I think he means the Schlieffen line, or maybe Schroder.

CC is the era-appropriate USN hull designation code for battlecruiser assigned to the Lexington-class, in the same way that CA corresponds to “heavy cruiser” and CL means “light cruiser.” Thus, the alternate line of German battleships are CCs (battlecruisers).

dont think Schlifen can get his concealment below 12,5 km

And you are welcome to do so. I don’t use that abbreviation for the same reason I don’t refer to aircraft carriers as “AC”s or heavy cruisers as “HC”s. To each their own.

Schlieffen has 12.6km concealment and 12.5km secondary range. In a thunderstorm Schlieffen’s concealment is reduced by 10%, so her secondary range exceeds her concealment.

And yet, just to keep things confusing, the Alaskas have CB hull numbers (which invites the moniker "battlecruiser" from the lay public). Worse still, according to Wikipedia, thought was initially given to applying the Lexingtons' CC designation! 🤣

Indeed.

The naval treaties really messed up the classification systems for ships...
