Maybe the grouping should have been 3″, 4″ (7D6 Damage) and 5″+ replacing the current 4″+. An alternativ might have been to group the guns 88mm/3″/4″ (6d6) and 4,5″+ or 5″+ (8d6).

But right now its confusing, at least for me…

I dont think a shell like the german 8,8cm gun (Flak 36) performed better (per shot) than a german 10.5 cm SK C/32 naval gun. While the muzzle velocity of the 8,8 is (slightly) faster, depending on the ammunition type by 10-100m/s (32.8 f/s – 328 f/s) with a mass of 9,4kg (21 pound), compared to the 10,5 with a muzzle velocity of 785m/s (2575 f/s) with a mass of 15,1 kg (33.3 pound). So the 10,5cm gun will be more effective with 60% more shell mass than the 8,8.
