first the math.
take you damage vs number of cannons, and do damage / reload time = your dps.
Just a few TIER IX ships for show how nerfed bb and ca is now..
Note: I used USA CL, cause IJN (my lane) is based on torps only and dont have cannons like other nations and its the just one big nerfed (torp damage -30%).
NAGATO (BB)
49.576 every 14,39 sec (my time)
49576/14,39
dps is nagato = 3445
MYOKO (CA)
21.440 every 9,35 sec
21440/9,35
dps is myoko = 2295
KAGERO (DD)
5.436 every 4,31 sec
5436/4,31
dps kagero = 1261
BROOKLYN (CL US)
19.245 every 4,55 sec
19245/4,55
dps brooklyn = 4229
EDIT:
ALL DAMAGES AND RELOAD TIME ITS WITH LAST WEAPON UPGRADE
PS: DPS = DAMAGE PER SECOND.
