The researchable SAPCBC shell on the other hand is one of the most powerful shells available to any heavy cruiser, possessing a excellent blend of penetration while also having a massive 5.2 kg bursting charge. The HE shell performs as can be expected from heavy cruiser HE - solid against light targets, but unable to significantly damage heavier ships. There are two shells available, an HE shell and a researchable SAPCBC shell. There is no first-stage ammunition stowage, so the reload rate will always remain quick no matter how much ammunition is remaining. The shortest achievable reload time is 12 seconds, which is quite fast by heavy cruiser standards. As with the others, the guns are reasonably accurate, although at long ranges the dispersion will start to show itself.
