Weta43 Posted yesterday at 02:57 AM Posted yesterday at 02:57 AM (edited) The Project 22160 Patrol Ship in game has a maximum engagement range of ~ 6km The vessel in reality is armed with the AK-176 76mm Naval gun which according to a variety of sources has an effective range of 10km and a maximum ballistic range of 15km - 17km No sources cite 6km, some cite significantly greater range than 15km for the AK-176M fitted to the vessels in game.

Weta43 Posted 19 hours ago Author Posted 19 hours ago Track of the PS's 2017 vintage TV targeted, laser rangefinder equipped AK-176MA 75mm naval gun being out-ranged and sunk by a 1927 vintage mk1 eyeball targeted Type 88 75mm AAA battery with the patrol ship never getting a shot off (The P22160 won't actually fire until 4.5km. The Oliver Perry - with the same sized gun - appears to have the same wildly sub-par range issue) AK-176 shell weight 12.4kg, muzzle velocity 960 m/s Type88 shell weight 6.6kg, muzzle velocity 720 m/s same caliber - no way the Type 88 can out-range the AK-176 project out gunned.trk Cheers.
