ParticipantThe Littorio class ships had twelve 90mm guns AA guns. Game wise this isn’t enough to warrant a DP stat?

ParticipantDP is Dual Purpose Shells used in the light guns.. basically shells set with an altitude marker to explode at a certain height. (and the Western Allies VT is what removed the half AD of light guns as it improves the effectiveness of those shells)
The AA guns are the AA battery – those 12 x 90mm are what gives the ranged AA… (AD3 at 6″ range) the smaller calibre AA guns are what give the class it local X trait.

ParticipantNow for some reason it looks like the Italians only produced DP rounds (shells) for their 3.9″ guns, not their 4.7″ ones – I’ve not looked in to it personally, but i’ve not heard anything about RM 4.7″ guns having DP available.

ParticipantAh, I see. The 90mm give AA some range to punch. Lighter than DP.
Too bad they didn’t produce DP shells for those 6 inch and 4.7 inch guns.

Participantyep….
As a general rule weapons break down to <40mm = Local X
40mm – 3.9″ guns = AA battery
4″-5.9″ = light guns
6″ + = turret gunsNow theres a few examples where some guns are used as a different catergory… but thats the general approach.
