Just went to the TA and selected a 5" twin. Whether I select AA or HE, when firing I watch the projectile launch from the gun barrel with a trail of smoke and depending on the arc and distance, land with a splash in the water. There no puffy burst to see or gauge distance by.
Assuming the AA rounds have proximity fuses, and no one flying about with me in the TA, I'm just watching undetonated shells fall into the sea; right?
In the MA, the CV acks are also producing puffs of smoke and given the ferocity of them, how do you determine YOUR round explosion vs the others (and also the other rounds being fired by members of your team)?
