By the time they started turning you would have the time for about two AP salvos on the broadside until they completed the turn and made their angling unfavorable for AP.
Most people when they see these gunboats turn tail, they can't keep up in a slugfest. In general, the way this works, or at least worked with Akizuki and now with Kitazake, was that since you would spot most of the time each other at the same time, you would fire the first salvo with HE. However, IJN DDs in general get the most overpenetrations even from DD calibers. I can't say I know how these shells behave. The Udaloi was within 7km, giving broadside and almost not moving.Īs for the Kagero, its in a Daring battle. If he turned broadside at 5-6km would be a different case.
The Chung Mu angled well most of the time, not giving the opportunity to use AP. HE was the safer option to damage modules, get maybe another fire that would increase the Shimas detection range. The Shimakaze was a bit too far to have consistent volleys with AP.
