Ryszardzie mam trochę inną listę trafień

9 - 203-229 mm
39 - 152 mm
Jest jeszcze sprawa pocisków , Japończycy używali pocisków burzących wypełnionych szymozą , całkiem przypadkowo. Co przyczyniło się do zagłady Rosjan. Nie uzywali pocisków przeciwpancernych.

I ciekawe fragmenty:
- ...Most eyewitness accounts mention great difference between the performance of Japanese shells in the two battles. 1 At the outbreak of war there were two types of shell available for the bigger Japanese guns. AP had a 5% bursting charge and HE a 10% charge, the filling in both cases being Shimose - picrid acid, very similar to British Lyddite. During 10 August 2 three out of sixteen Japanese 12in guns burst from premature explosion of the shell in the barrel and the fuse was redesigned before Tsushima. Pakenham`s 4 report on the less sensitive fuses has been read as impying that the later shells had improved AP capability but this is an incorrect view.
Before Tsushima Japanese introduced a powder-filled, high-capacity shell which was usually, if incorectly, referred to as `HE`.
(...)
At Tsushima, most Russian battleships were disabled as a result of serious fires long before they were in danger of sinking. Observers comment on the incediary effect of Japanese shells, Semonov 3, saying that there was a marked difference from 10 August. It is almost certain that this was due to the powder-filling of shells which was better firelighters than Shimose-filled shells.

Troszkę się toto różni od Dyskantowej wizji szymozy

Ma ktoś coś więcej? A może się jakiś chemik wypowie?
