Overview

Ashen Majesty is the Halloween event's Dutch Tier IV cruiser, built on the Celebes hull with her upgraded modules already fitted. Her eight guns reload in 8.0 s against an 8.5 s median and reach 13.7 km. Her 6.6 fires per minute rank 5th of 20 Tier IV cruisers. Her 180,000 AP damage per minute ranks 7th of 23. Her 10.39 km surface detectability is tied for 3rd of the 23, lower being better. The trade is mobility: 32.5 knots and a 7.7 s rudder shift, both below the cohort median.

Positioning

Open fire from 11 to 13 km, near the edge of her 13.7 km range, and let concealment decide when she is seen: at 10.39 km she can hold a lane quietly and choose the moment to light up a target. Her 580 m turning circle, 2nd-tightest of the 23, lets her reverse course behind an island, but the slow 7.7 s rudder shift means she should start every turn early. Set fires on battleships with HE and switch to AP against broadside cruisers.

Potato Avoidance

Pushing forward to chase kills

At 32.5 knots she is the 5th-slowest of 23 Tier IV cruisers, and her 26,600 HP is only the cohort median, so once she is spotted inside 10 km she cannot outrun the return fire. Fight from range, fall back before she is caught out, and let her fire output do the work instead of her hull.

Builds

Invest in fire setting and main battery reload, because her damage comes from steady HE and AP volume rather than single heavy salvos. Concealment comes next to protect her 10.39 km detection, then survivability. Rudder and speed improvements help most if you play her close to islands. Check current picks in the Build Tool before committing points.

Fire duration30 s

Fire damage

One unattended fire: 0.003 of max HP per second (0.3%) × 30 s = 0.09 of the pool; 0.09 × 26,600 HP = 2,394 HP on this ship. 4 fire points can burn at once.

Torp Reduction

1 − 0.28 hull torpedo-damage coefficient / 0.333 unprotected baseline = 16%. Reduces torpedo hit damage. It does not affect flooding: floods start as often and tick at the full rate.

Magazine HP

Per-turret powder-magazine HP, a separate pool from the ship's. Penetrating hits wear it down and the turret is likelier to be knocked out as it falls, so a larger pool keeps the guns firing through punishment that silences a peer's.

Bow section HP

Damage saturation pool for the bow: penetrations here deal their normal share until twice this much penetration damage has landed on the section (2 × 500 = 1,000), then further hits on it deal half damage. A penetration deals 0.33 × the shell's max damage; once the section is saturated it deals exactly half of that (0.5 × 0.33 = 0.165 × max damage), so a 3,000-damage shell's pen goes from 990 to 495. Overpens (0.1 × max damage) and citadels (1.0 ×) ignore saturation. Pens on the ship's other, unsaturated sections still deal the normal 0.33 ×. A larger pool keeps that part of the ship taking full damage for longer; a small one saturates fast and protects the ship's HP.

500

Auxiliary section HP

Damage saturation pool for the auxiliary room: penetrations here deal their normal share until twice this much penetration damage has landed on the section (2 × 5,400 = 10,800), then further hits on it deal half damage. A penetration deals 0.33 × the shell's max damage; once the section is saturated it deals exactly half of that (0.5 × 0.33 = 0.165 × max damage), so a 3,000-damage shell's pen goes from 990 to 495. Overpens (0.1 × max damage) and citadels (1.0 ×) ignore saturation. Pens on the ship's other, unsaturated sections still deal the normal 0.33 ×. A larger pool keeps that part of the ship taking full damage for longer; a small one saturates fast and protects the ship's HP.

Hull section HP

Damage saturation pool for the hull: penetrations here deal their normal share until twice this much penetration damage has landed on the section (2 × 20,000 = 40,000), then further hits on it deal half damage. A penetration deals 0.33 × the shell's max damage; once the section is saturated it deals exactly half of that (0.5 × 0.33 = 0.165 × max damage), so a 3,000-damage shell's pen goes from 990 to 495. Overpens (0.1 × max damage) and citadels (1.0 ×) ignore saturation. Pens on the ship's other, unsaturated sections still deal the normal 0.33 ×. A larger pool keeps that part of the ship taking full damage for longer; a small one saturates fast and protects the ship's HP.

20,000

Superstructure section HP

Damage saturation pool for the superstructure: penetrations here deal their normal share until twice this much penetration damage has landed on the section (2 × 1,800 = 3,600), then further hits on it deal half damage. A penetration deals 0.33 × the shell's max damage; once the section is saturated it deals exactly half of that (0.5 × 0.33 = 0.165 × max damage), so a 3,000-damage shell's pen goes from 990 to 495. Overpens (0.1 × max damage) and citadels (1.0 ×) ignore saturation. Pens on the ship's other, unsaturated sections still deal the normal 0.33 ×. The superstructure is not exempt: it saturates exactly like the bow and stern, so shells aimed at it stop dealing full damage once this pool is used up. A larger pool keeps that part of the ship taking full damage for longer; a small one saturates fast and protects the ship's HP.

1,800

Stern section HP

Damage saturation pool for the stern: penetrations here deal their normal share until twice this much penetration damage has landed on the section (2 × 200 = 400), then further hits on it deal half damage. A penetration deals 0.33 × the shell's max damage; once the section is saturated it deals exactly half of that (0.5 × 0.33 = 0.165 × max damage), so a 3,000-damage shell's pen goes from 990 to 495. Overpens (0.1 × max damage) and citadels (1.0 ×) ignore saturation. Pens on the ship's other, unsaturated sections still deal the normal 0.33 ×. A larger pool keeps that part of the ship taking full damage for longer; a small one saturates fast and protects the ship's HP.

Turret traverse arcs

How far each mount can train, in degrees to either side of the mount's own facing. A rear turret with ±150° leaves a 60° blind wedge over the bow; one-sided arcs are wing mounts that cover a single side. The data does not say which way each mount faces, so the arcs are listed per mount without bow/stern angles.

2x ±148°, 2x ±143°

Guns to bear

180° − 143° (the most restricted aft-facing mount's arc) = 37° off bow; 180° − 148° (the most restricted forward-facing mount's arc) = 32° off stern. How far off the bow (or stern) the ship must angle before every main turret can fire: the widest blind wedge among the rear-facing (or forward-facing) mounts, from each mount's trainable arc.

The standard cruiser dispersion curve.

Shell scatter width @ 5 km67.5 m

(166.7 × (8 − 1.1) / 1000 + 1.1) × 30 = 67.5 m. Horizontal scatter at a fixed 5 km, from the same dispersion model as the rows below - a knife-fight-range anchor comparable across ships.

Shell scatter width @ 10 km102 m

(333.3 × (8 − 1.1) / 1000 + 1.1) × 30 = 102 m. How wide your shells scatter at 10 km, from the same dispersion model as the max-range figure above. Picking a fixed range makes this number directly comparable from ship to ship: max-range dispersion makes a longer-range gun look worse even when it's tighter at any common range. The interactive Dispersion tab on the Charts card plots the full curve from 0 to max range.

Shell scatter height @ 5 km28.2 m

How tall the scatter ellipse is at a fixed 5 km, from the same model, comparable from ship to ship. The height/width ratio is a piecewise-linear curve through three points from the ship's own dispersion data:  $radiusOnZero = 0.2$  at 0 m,  $radiusOnDelim = 0.5$  at  $delim \cdot R_{m a x} = 0.5 \cdot 13733.5 = 6867$  m, and  $radiusOnMax = 0.6$  at 13733.5 m. Below the kink:  $k = 0.2 + (0.5 - 0.2) \cdot \frac{5000}{6867} = 0.4184$ , so  $σ_{V} = σ_{H} \cdot k = 67.5 \cdot 0.4184 = 28.2 m$ .

Shell scatter height @ 10 km55.7 m

How tall the same scatter ellipse is at 10 km. Comparable from ship to ship for the same reason as the width value above. The height/width ratio is a piecewise-linear curve through three points from the ship's own dispersion data:  $radiusOnZero = 0.2$  at 0 m,  $radiusOnDelim = 0.5$  at  $delim \cdot R_{m a x} = 0.5 \cdot 13733.5 = 6867$  m, and  $radiusOnMax = 0.6$  at 13733.5 m. Above the kink:  $k = 0.5 + (0.6 - 0.5) \cdot \frac{10000 - 6867}{13733.5 - 6867} = 0.5456$ , so  $σ_{V} = σ_{H} \cdot k = 102 \cdot 0.5456 = 55.7 m$ .

AP pen 5 km179 mm

AP penetration at a fixed 5 km, from the same ballistic curve as AP Pen Close/Far: the shell's impact velocity at that range fed through the AP formula  $P = 10^{- 7} \cdot K \cdot m^{0.69} \cdot d^{- 1.07} \cdot v^{1.38}$   $= 10^{- 7} \cdot 2200 \cdot {46.7}^{0.69} \cdot {0.15}^{- 1.07} \cdot {644.6}^{1.38} = 179 mm$ , where 644.6 m/s is the shell's speed when it arrives at 5 km (from 900 m/s at the muzzle). Fixed anchors make ships directly comparable at the same fighting distance; the Charts card plots the full curve.

AP pen 10 km116 mm

AP penetration at a fixed 10 km, from the same ballistic curve as AP Pen Close/Far: the shell's impact velocity at that range fed through the AP formula  $P = 10^{- 7} \cdot K \cdot m^{0.69} \cdot d^{- 1.07} \cdot v^{1.38}$   $= 10^{- 7} \cdot 2200 \cdot {46.7}^{0.69} \cdot {0.15}^{- 1.07} \cdot {469.5}^{1.38} = 116 mm$ , where 469.5 m/s is the shell's speed when it arrives at 10 km (from 900 m/s at the muzzle). Fixed anchors make ships directly comparable at the same fighting distance; the Charts card plots the full curve.

HE flight time @ 10 km5.7 s

How long an HE shell takes to reach a target at a fixed 10 km, from the same numerically integrated trajectory the Charts card plots. The shell slows under quadratic air drag,  $a_{drag} = k ρ v^{2}$ , where  $ρ$  is air density from a standard-atmosphere profile and  $k$  bundles the shell's drag coefficient, caliber and mass:  $k = \frac{π C_{d} d^{2}}{8 m} = \frac{π \cdot 0.2841 \cdot {0.15}^{2}}{8 \cdot 46} = 5.46 \times 10^{- 5}$ . That runs from a 900 m/s muzzle velocity in 0.02 s steps under gravity 9.8 m/s² until the shell lands, then divides by 2.77 because the game clock runs faster than real time. Lower is better, since a faster shell is harder to dodge and needs less lead.

AP flight time @ 10 km5.7 s

How long an AP shell takes to reach a target at a fixed 10 km, from the same numerically integrated trajectory the Charts card plots. The shell slows under quadratic air drag,  $a_{drag} = k ρ v^{2}$ , where  $ρ$  is air density from a standard-atmosphere profile and  $k$  bundles the shell's drag coefficient, caliber and mass:  $k = \frac{π C_{d} d^{2}}{8 m} = \frac{π \cdot 0.2884 \cdot {0.15}^{2}}{8 \cdot 46.7} = 5.46 \times 10^{- 5}$ . That runs from a 900 m/s muzzle velocity in 0.02 s steps under gravity 9.8 m/s² until the shell lands, then divides by 2.77 because the game clock runs faster than real time. Lower is better, since a faster shell is harder to dodge and needs less lead.

4 mounts × 2 barrels = 8; all 8 bear on the broadside.

Model inputs

Krupp (AP)2,200

Armor-penetration constant of the AP shell; penetration scales straight with it, so a 10% higher Krupp is 10% more penetration at every range.

AP shell mass46.7 kg

Enters penetration as mass^0.69 and slows the shell's drag deceleration, so a heavier shell keeps more velocity at range.

AP drag coefficient0.2884

Air drag on the AP shell in flight; lower keeps velocity, and with it penetration, at long range.

AP muzzle velocity900 m/s

Starting speed of the AP shell; penetration scales with velocity^1.38.

HE muzzle velocity900 m/s

Starting speed of the HE shell; sets its flight time and lead.

idealRadius8

Horizontal dispersion growth per idealDistance of range, in 30 m units; the slope of the scatter-width line.

minRadius1.1

Horizontal dispersion at zero range, in 30 m units; the intercept of the scatter-width line.

idealDistance1,000 m

Range step over which horizontal dispersion grows by idealRadius.

taperDist4,000 m

Inside this range the scatter width tapers toward minRadius instead of following the line.

radiusOnZero0.2

Vertical scatter as a share of horizontal at zero range.

radiusOnDelim0.5

Vertical scatter as a share of horizontal at the delim point.

radiusOnMax0.6

Vertical scatter as a share of horizontal at maximum range.

delim0.5

Where the vertical-scatter curve bends, as a share of maximum range.

AA defense

AA DPS at max range167

Only families that reach 3.5 km contribute at the outer edge of the AA bubble. In-game families: 40mm Bofors M36 8x2 -> 167 DPS @ 3.5 km; 25mm Bofors M32 2barrels 2x2 -> 18 DPS @ 2.5 km.

AA DPS layered by range167 DPS @ 3.5 km, 185 DPS @ 2.5 km

@ 3.5 km: 167 from one family; @ 2.5 km: 167 + 18 = 185. Cumulative AA DPS at each family range threshold. Inner ranges stack the outer families, so a target closing the distance hits stronger AA bubbles as it crosses each band.

AA DPS at point-blank185

167 + 18 = 185 DPS: the sum of every family's average DPS, achievable only inside the closest-range family (2.5 km).

AA threat index630

167 × 3.5 + 18 × 2.5 = 630. SUM over AA auras of (aura DPS x aura range km). A plane crossing the AA bubble is exposed to each aura for a time proportional to that aura's range, so long-reach DPS is worth more than the same DPS in a short bubble. Units: DPS*km; used to rank overall AA threat across the cohort.

Background

The third Java-class cruiser was laid down in Schiedam in June 1917, and she should have become the flagship of the Dutch Navy in the East Indies. It was planned to finalize her construction in 1920; however, due to the economic blockade by England and the lack of resources during wartime, the shipbuilding process slowed significantly, and the construction of Celebes was never actually finished.

Armor Beta

Hull HP 26,600, distributed across 5 hull zones, each with its own plate thicknesses, saturation cap, and pen thresholds. HP caps are estimates.

Bow & stern13 mm

Overmatched by 90+ AP guns across the bracket. Can’t reliably bow-tank; gets bow-citadelled and overpenned.

Farming13 mm

Superstructure and extremities take HE pens and AP overpens from nearly any gun: steady chip damage. Fire resistance 17%, fires burn 30s. Range-by-range in the Compare tool →

Section	Plates	HP cap	Threats	Tactic
Bow	13 mm primary (range 13–50 mm)	≈ 1,330 (~5% of HP)	Overmatched by 203mm+ AP (Desert Falcon, Baleares)Angle bounces 152mm13 mm: HE pens from 127mm+	Bow-tank fits behind this exterior plate. Saturation is FAST here; the cap is often only a few thousand HP.
Hull (midship)	13 mm	≈ 19,950 (~75% of HP)	Overmatched by 203mm+ AP (Desert Falcon, Baleares)Angle bounces 152mm13 mm: HE pens from 127mm+	Largest HP pool. Citadel sits behind these plates; thinner deck and side plating absorb the rest.
Stern	13 mm primary (range 13–50 mm)	≈ 1,330 (~5% of HP)	Overmatched by 203mm+ AP (Desert Falcon, Baleares)Angle bounces 152mm13 mm: HE pens from 127mm+	Mirror of bow. Same fast saturation.
Citadel	60 mm primary (range 10–60 mm)	no cap	Citadel pen: full damageOver-pen: ×0.10 damage	Effectively no cap; citadel pool sits at ~165k HP on every ship. An AP citadel penetration deals the shell's full damage, the biggest single hit available; only over-penetrations are damped, to ×0.10.
Superstructure	13 mm primary (range 13–75 mm)	no cap	Any HE ≥16 mm pens at full damage	Any HE ≥16 mm pens at full damage. HE-spam target, and the section saturates fast (often only a few thousand HP).

Saturation cap = HP a section can absorb before further damage to it is reduced (the "bow-tank" effect). Citadel pool is ~165k on every ship (effectively no cap); damage is gated by pen/over-pen multipliers instead. Superstructure saturates fast but HE always pens regardless of the plate thickness. Rudder (and other module HPs) are a separate pool from ship HP: damaging a module doesn't drain ship HP. Incapacitated modules like the rudder and engine are restored by DCP, but secondary and AA mounts destroyed at 0 HP stay out for the rest of the battle.
