That’s a little something that would be helpful. At what point does over penetration become a possibility? If I fire AP from a 14” gun at a Tier III Cruiser do I risk it? What about 8” guns at DDs? When exactly does it kick in?
And why is gunfire so dang random in terms of damage done? I never seem to get the listed damage from any shell on any target.

"Over-penetration is when a shell penetrates the ship through-and-through, before it has a chance to detonate inside the ship. Theoretically HE will never over-penetrate due to its low detonator threshold and shorter fuze."

Is there a resource available that lists the armor of the ships and the penetration of the guns?
@kawaiibot posted an excellent definition of penetration but we don’t seem to have any information on the values used in the game. And without that data how are we to know with any certainty which shells from which guns are best against any given target?
Right now we are playing WoTB without penetration numbers or hit skins. Sure, I could fire AP from my IS-2 at the front of a Tiger ( P ). But with the pen and armor data I know I better use APCR and aim carefully. We don’t have that information at all right now.

From what i see the data are the developers who possess on it however i will see what i can do but for now you can rely on World of Warships PC data first.
