What? I'm not talking about gun size, I'm talking about the size, shape, and mass of the projectile.
For example, for the same size and weight of a 40cm round, you could fire a 15cm much farther anr faster. I suppose the same could be said for weight of gun/housing needed for a single 400mm gun. For example, a 15cm would produce far less recoil. And need a much smaller bore, enabling (assuming the same ship) the gun to be much longer and therefore more accurate. No, smaller calibre's are not inherently more accurate, but their characteristics allow them to be when taken advantage of. Make sense?
Okay the first part I understand. I am not saying my whole military consists of special forces. I'm just saying that compared to yours (because of training, culture, and rules in the RP) they are of better quality. The caveat in the rule is that your forces are a certain quality based on how many you START with, not how you develop them. That's why I only developed as many as I did, because the extra training to make them of the quality that I had before takes a long time.
To the second part of this, I don't understand. Please explain further?
Which is impossible. A 40 centimeter round is 25 centimeters wider than a 15 centimeter round. Which proves what I've been saying this whole time: YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND BALLISTICS OR FIREARMS!
What is impossible? Are you trolling right now? How does 40-15=25 prove I don't understand ballistics?
