Overview

Mirage is a Tier VII Italian SAP cruiser: her 203mm main battery fires semi-armor-piercing shells (54.9mm of fixed penetration) in place of HE once the gun upgrade is researched. SAP lands one big guaranteed hit instead of fishing for fires, and it pens reliably without the angle checks AP lives or dies on, so she punishes broadsides, soft cruisers, and superstructures hard. The catch is that SAP shatters on heavy belt armor, so the kit is picking targets it bites rather than trading into a bow-in battleship. Standout traits: best top speed in T7 CAs (37 kt) and best power per turn radius in T7 CAs (282.4 HP).

Positioning

Hold 12-15 km angles with islands close enough to break line of sight when focus comes; wait for soft cruisers and exposed superstructures where SAP lands full penetration rather than firing into the belt or bow armor it shatters on. The kit pays best when you choose your salvo target, not when you chase one. Shooting from the cloud gives you away at 6.3 km, and a destroyer here is spotted at about 7 km, so you see it coming with roughly 0.64 km to spare. Vision is mutual: past the 2 km guaranteed ring you cannot see out either, and nothing in her kit sees through it, so pop the smoke where someone is already lighting the enemy or you will sit in it with nothing to shoot. Enemy sonar (about 4.4 km) and radar (about 9.5 km) read straight in regardless. At 600 m the screen is wider than standard, so it can cover a teammate holding the same line as well as your own hull. Her handling reads as a contradiction and is not one: 11 s on the rudder means she starts turning late, while a 680 m circle means she comes around inside most of her cohort once she does. Decide a beat early and the turn itself will not let you down.

Potato Avoidance

Burning Torpedo Reload Booster on a hopeful salvo

With a single charge it is a finisher rather than an opener: spend it on a target that cannot turn away, a broadside battleship or a cruiser already committed to its own attack, where the extra torpedo salvo lands as damage instead of splashes. A booster pressed on a maybe is one you will not have when the certainty shows up.

Fire resistance

Does not reduce the damage a burning fire does per second: replay-measured burn ticks run at the full rate on every ship. By elimination it lowers how often hits set you on fire; ignition-rate replay data is consistent with that but too confounded by attacker mix to measure the reduction directly.

36.6%

Fire duration30 s

Fire damage

Each fire ticks 0.3% of max HP per second for the full 30 s, so one unattended fire burns 9% of the pool (3,852 HP on this ship). 4 fire points can burn at once. Verified against measured burn ticks in replay data.

0.3% of HP per second

Flood duration40 s

Flood damage

A flood ticks 0.25% of max HP per second for the 40 s duration, so one unattended flood costs 10% of the pool (4,280 HP on this ship). Verified against measured flood ticks in replay data.

0.25% of HP per second

Torp Reduction

Reduces torpedo hit damage. Replay data shows no effect on floods: flood ticks run at the full rate and flood frequency does not decline with protection.

19%

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.

21,400

Steering gear HP

Durability of the steering gears. As this pool drops, hits are likelier to jam the rudder; unlike most modules the steering can be knocked out and repaired but is never permanently destroyed.

12,800

Effective HP

Base 42,800 HP plus everything Repair Party can restore: 0.5%/s x 28 s = 5,992 HP per charge, x2 charges = 11,984 HP. Ceiling, not a prediction: a charge only restores damage actually taken, and only the regeneratable share of it. Across 1,826 players in our replay corpus the median ship realized about half of this, mostly because half the charges go unspent — when Repair Party IS pressed it returns ~97% of the per-charge figure above. Repair Party is one choice in its slot on this ship, so this applies only if you take it.

Turret traverse arcs

How far each mount can train, in degrees to either side of the mount's own facing, read from in-game data. 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.

Guns to bear

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. Mount facing is inferred from turret stations and verified against known layouts, including Izumo's aft-facing forward turret.

Range12 km

Maximum simulated damage

Estimate of WG's in-game value; matches the in-game port screen within ±5%. Saturation: most targets only intersect one hull section, so the sim transfers ~1/3 of the warhead alpha (2/3 when the warhead blast >= 5000 and the burst reaches a second section). For this ship:

D_{sim} = α \cdot c = 35, 000 \cdot 0.333 = 11, 667

≈ 11,667

Maximum damage (ammunition)

The ammunition card's 'Maximum Damage' stat, exact: warhead alpha / 3 plus the blast addend. This is the per-torpedo number most references quote; the 'Maximum simulated damage' row above is WG's separate geometry-sim stat from the launcher spec panel.

12,667

Torpedo detectability1 km

Reaction time

How long a target has to dodge after your torpedo is spotted at its detectability range (lower means less warning):

t_{react} = \frac{1 km}{62 kt \times 2.6855} = 6 s

. The 2.6855 m/s-per-knot game-speed factor is calibrated from in-game measurement; the community's traditional 2.6 reads about 3% slower. Base value; commander torpedo-concealment skills lower it further. Community torpedo-reaction calculator by u/LorenDovah and u/The_ColorOutofSpace.

6 s

Flooding chance

Read straight from the game's own data: this torpedo carries a flooding-chance value of 2.07 per hit, shown as

2.07 \times 100 = 207 %

. Torpedo flood values above 100% are normal: in battle the base chance is scaled down by the target's torpedo protection (the Torp Reduction stat on its Survivability card) and any flood-resistance modifiers, so a value above 100% keeps flooding likely even through partial protection. Not shown on the in-game port screen.

Bursts

Each ~2 s wave fires 2 quick salvos of 4 clouds ahead of the attacking squadron, plus 2 stray clouds farther out that appear off-beat between waves - up to 10 clouds per wave × 180 damage each. Planes that fly into a cloud take its damage; clouds dissipate before the next wave lands. Defensive AA Fire, where fitted, multiplies the salvo repeats within each wave.

Cloud damage

Cloud spawn chance

Each cloud in the pattern rolls this chance to spawn, so waves average fewer clouds than the maximum. Often called flak 'hit chance', but spawned clouds always damage planes that fly into them - the roll is on spawning.

Wave rate

A flak wave spawns roughly every 2 s - timed frame-by-frame from gameplay footage and consistent across ships.

Fired by

Flak keeps firing while at least one secondary battery mount is operational - even losing every other AA mount does not stop it.

Secondary battery

Flak zone

The activation band: flak fires while attacking planes are inside it. Clouds are placed ahead of the planes' path, so bursts can land short of 2.5 km or past 4 km - once planes get inside the band, new waves stop. AA range bonuses push the outer edge out; the 2.5 km inner edge does not move.

Seconds from top speed to a dead stop after ordering full reverse: reverse power winds in over the reverse spool-up while water drag does most of the braking. Same community-model simulation as the acceleration times, using the ship's own reverse-power ratio from in-game data. The full curve is on the acceleration chart.

Acceleration 0-90%

Time to reach 90% of top speed (33.3 kt of 37 kt), from our in-house acceleration model.

26.3 s

Acceleration 0-99%

Time to reach 99% of top speed (36.6 kt of 37 kt). 99% rather than 100% because true top speed is asymptotic (thrust meets drag), so the last fraction of a knot is never quite gained.

42.9 s

Traverse-to-turn ratio

How many degrees the turret can swing for each degree the hull turns. Turn rate

ω_{hull} = \frac{180}{π} \cdot \frac{V_{max} (m/s)}{R_{turn}} = \frac{180}{π} \cdot \frac{37.0 \cdot 0.5144}{680} = 1.60 ° / s

, so

ratio = \frac{ω_{turret}}{ω_{hull}} = \frac{7}{1.60} = 4.4 \times

Main battery formulas

Shell Grouping (σ)2

Max Horiz Disp133.7 m at 14.6 km

Horizontal dispersion ellipse width at max range, from the verified WoWS dispersion model:  $σ_{H} = (\frac{R}{30} \cdot \frac{idealRadius - minRadius}{idealDistance} + minRadius) \cdot 30$   $= (\frac{14599.2}{30} \cdot \frac{8 - 1.1}{1000} + 1.1) \cdot 30 = 133.7 m$

Shell scatter width @ 5 km67.5 m

Horizontal scatter at a fixed 5 km, from the same verified dispersion model as the rows below - a knife-fight-range anchor comparable across ships.

Shell scatter width @ 10 km102 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.

Max Vert Disp80.2 m at 14.6 km

Vertical dispersion ellipse height at max range: $σ_{V} = σ_{H} \cdot radiusOnMax$ $= 133.7 \cdot 0.6 = 80.2 m$

Shell scatter height @ 10 km54.8 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  $delim \cdot R_{m a x} = 0.5 \cdot 14599.2 = 7300$  m, and  $radiusOnMax = 0.6$  at 14599.2 m. Above the kink:  $k = 0.5 + (0.6 - 0.5) \cdot \frac{10000 - 7300}{14599.2 - 7300} = 0.537$ , so  $σ_{V} = σ_{H} \cdot k = 102 \cdot 0.537 = 54.8 m$ .

Med Horiz Disp40.1 m at 14.6 km

50%-hit horizontal radius: $σ_{H, 50} = σ_{H} \cdot \frac{0.6}{σ}$ $= 133.7 \cdot \frac{0.6}{2} = 40.1 m$

Med Vert Disp24.1 m at 14.6 km

50%-hit vertical radius: $σ_{V, 50} = σ_{V} \cdot \frac{0.6}{σ}$ $= 80.2 \cdot \frac{0.6}{2} = 24.1 m$

AP Pen Close467.7 mm point-blank

Canonical community AP formula (jcw780/wows_shell), evaluated at muzzle velocity:  $P = 10^{- 7} \cdot K \cdot m^{0.69} \cdot d^{- 1.07} \cdot v_{0}^{1.38}$   $= 10^{- 7} \cdot 2500 \cdot {125.3}^{0.69} \cdot {0.203}^{- 1.07} \cdot 910^{1.38} = 467.7 mm$ . Matches the in-game spec card.

AP Pen Far227.4 mm at 14.6 km

Same formula at the ship's max firing range (14.6 km), where the shell has slowed to 539.7 m/s:  $P = 10^{- 7} \cdot 2500 \cdot {125.3}^{0.69} \cdot {0.203}^{- 1.07} \cdot {539.7}^{1.38} = 227.4 mm$ .

AP pen 5 km361 mm

AP penetration at a fixed 5 km, read off the same PC-validated ballistic curve as AP Pen Close/Far: the shell's impact velocity at that range fed through the canonical community AP formula  $P = 10^{- 7} \cdot K \cdot m^{0.69} \cdot d^{- 1.07} \cdot v^{1.38}$ . Fixed anchors make ships directly comparable at the same fighting distance; the Charts card plots the full curve.

AP pen 10 km281 mm

AP penetration at a fixed 10 km, read off the same PC-validated ballistic curve as AP Pen Close/Far: the shell's impact velocity at that range fed through the canonical community AP formula  $P = 10^{- 7} \cdot K \cdot m^{0.69} \cdot d^{- 1.07} \cdot v^{1.38}$ . Fixed anchors make ships directly comparable at the same fighting distance; the Charts card plots the full curve.

AP flight time @ 10 km4.81 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:  $k = \frac{π C_{d} d^{2}}{8 m} = \frac{π \cdot 0.237 \cdot {0.203}^{2}}{8 \cdot 125.3} = 3.06 \times 10^{- 5}$ . That runs from a 910 m/s muzzle velocity in 0.02 s steps under gravity 9.8 m/s² until the shell lands, then divides by 2.77: the game clock runs faster than real time, and that factor was measured against stopwatch runs in the Training Room. Lower is better, since a faster shell is harder to dodge and needs less lead.

HE flight time @ 10 km5.63 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:  $k = \frac{π C_{d} d^{2}}{8 m} = \frac{π \cdot 0.337 \cdot {0.203}^{2}}{8 \cdot 123.82} = 4.4 \times 10^{- 5}$ . That runs from a 850 m/s muzzle velocity in 0.02 s steps under gravity 9.8 m/s² until the shell lands, then divides by 2.77: the game clock runs faster than real time, and that factor was measured against stopwatch runs in the Training Room. Lower is better, since a faster shell is harder to dodge and needs less lead.

HE penetration34 mm

34 mm ≈ 203 mm caliber / 6 (standard HE penetration ratio).

AP overmatch14 mm

floor(203 mm caliber / 14.3) = 14 mm (AP auto-penetrates plating this thick or less).

AP AOE Radius30

AP shell over-penetration splash radius; scales with shell mass. Wickes 102mm = 3, standard 152mm CL ~ 20, Iowa 406mm ~ 270, Yamato 460mm = 400, Incomparable 650mm = 550 (max). Larger value = bigger splash damage area when AP over-pens.

SAP Fragment Radius30 (top hull)

SAP shell fragment splash radius; the area over which a SAP hit scatters fragment damage. Scales with shell mass (90mm ~ 5, 203mm CA ~ 20-30, 320mm = 175, 406mm = 250, 457mm = 400, max) and is tuned per ship, so two ships with the same SAP caliber can differ (135mm ranges 5-24). Larger value = wider fragment spread per hit.

Broadside guns used for alpha9

All 9 barrels bear on the broadside.

Turret turn time25.7 s

180 degrees / 7 deg/s traverse speed = 25.7 s.

HE full-salvo alpha28,800

3,200 HE damage x 9 broadside guns = 28,800.

AP full-salvo alpha45,900

5,100 AP damage x 9 broadside guns = 45,900.

HE DPMInitial: 119,172 → 120,000

Zero upgrades: 28,800 HE full-salvo alpha x 60 / 14.5 s base reload = 119,172. All upgrades (top gun + Main Battery Mod. 3 = -10% reload): 28,800 HE full-salvo alpha x 60 / 14.4 s all-upgrades reload = 120,000.

AP DPMInitial: 189,931 → 191,250

Zero upgrades: 45,900 AP full-salvo alpha x 60 / 14.5 s base reload = 189,931. All upgrades (top gun + Main Battery Mod. 3 = -10% reload): 45,900 AP full-salvo alpha x 60 / 14.4 s all-upgrades reload = 191,250.

Shells/minInitial: 37.2 → 37.5

Zero upgrades: 9 broadside guns x 60 / 14.5 s base reload = 37.2. All upgrades (top gun + Main Battery Mod. 3 = -10% reload): 9 broadside guns x 60 / 14.4 s all-upgrades reload = 37.5.

Fires/minInitial: 6.33 → 6.38

Zero upgrades: 37.2 shells/min x 17% fire chance = 6.33. All upgrades (top gun + Main Battery Mod. 3 = -10% reload): 37.5 shells/min x 17% fire chance = 6.38.

Torpedoes

Torpedo detectability1 km

Estimated torpedo reaction time6 s

detectability / (speed kt x 2.6855 game-speed factor, m/s per knot, calibrated from in-game measurement; the community's traditional 2.6 reads about 3% slower).

Torpedo speed62 kt

Travel time to max range72.1 s

range / (speed kt x 2.6855 game-speed factor, m/s per knot, calibrated from in-game measurement).

Torpedo module damage1,000

Per-torpedo module/blast damage parameter from in-game data. Most torpedoes carry 500 to 2,000; ships announced by WG as dealing increased module damage carry 9,000 to 12,000, so their hits knock out engines, rudders, and turrets far more often. Comparative figure; the exact module-HP conversion is not published.

Tube count8

2 launchers x 4 tubes.

Per-side salvo4 torpedoes

tube count / 2 (symmetric port/starboard launcher layout; common on cruisers and battleships with deck torpedoes).

Full-salvo damage93,336

All tubes hitting one target: tubes x per-torpedo simulated damage = 8 x 11,667 = 93,336.

Per-side salvo damage46,668

One side firing, all torpedoes hitting: per-side tubes x per-torpedo simulated damage = 4 x 11,667 = 46,668.

AA defense

AA DPS at max range135

Only families that reach 4 km contribute at the outer edge of the AA bubble. In-game families: 65mm 64 Ansaldo 6x1 -> 88 DPS @ 3.7 km; 20mm70 Breda barrels 6 12x6 -> 143 DPS @ 2 km; 90mm50 barrels 1 M1939 12x1 -> 135 DPS @ 4 km.

Maximum AA range4 km

Longest-reaching family on the in-game AA card. Base AirDefense aura max range is 3.7 km; dual-purpose mount auras extend it.

AA DPS layered by range135 DPS @ 4 km, 223 DPS @ 3.7 km, 366 DPS @ 2 km

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-blank366

Sum of every family's average DPS, achievable only inside the closest-range family (2 km).

AA threat index1152

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.

Near aura range2 km

Secondary battery dispersion

Secondary dispersion typeStandard

Max dispersion = range (km) × 57 + 30. Each dispersion type sets its own slope; this is not a percentage applied to a standard baseline.

Max secondary dispersion @ 5 km315 m

5 km × 57 + 30 = 315 m.

Secondary battery firepower

Secondary DPM (per side)117,000

Sum across all secondary families of (per-side barrels × 60 / reload_s × alpha), where per-side barrels = mounts × barrels-per-mount / 2 (the guns that bear on one broadside target). Per-family: 12×1 90 mm (6/side) × 60/4 × 1300 = 117,000. Assumes every shell hits (real hit rate is lower; the Brawl matchup tool on the Compare page folds in dispersion + target armor).

Max HE alpha1300

Maximum HE damage per shell across secondary HE families. Best on this ship: 1300 from the 90 mm family.

Max HE fire chance5%

Maximum per-shell fire chance across secondary HE families (before target fire resistance is applied). Best on this ship: 5% from the 90 mm family.

Max HE pen15 mm

Maximum HE armor penetration across secondary HE families (caliber × 1/6 for most nations; 1/4 for German/UK BBs). Shells whose pen falls under a plate's armor thickness shatter for 0 hull damage though fire chance still applies. Best on this ship: 15 mm from the 90 mm family.
