World of Warships

[richvalle]

Because of the World of Warships game I started reading "Neptune's Inferno: The US Navy at Guadalcanal". It's fun because many of the ships from WoW are in the book. It's also amazing to see just how NOT like a real battle WoW is.

Though all the battles in the book so far have been at night.

And while I was not sure about the fast firing US cruisers, there seems to be something to it. The Helena (a St. Louis class ship) was firing 200 rounds a minute during the battle.

Also just how big an advantage radar was, though captains didn't seem to know how to use it.

Also also, US AA fire was silly powerful at this point with radar and ships made for AA.
