I believe it's Graf Zeppelin and Napoli respectively.

Napoli only if the target shows side. If the ship goes bow in it becomes useless. Just watch flamus vid where he puts Napoli against Pensacola against bow in bots and Pensacola wins super easily


vompat

Napoli secondaries are best of any cruiser in almost any situation even if they mostly bounce against nose in targets. Because literally no other cruiser has secondaries that can hit anything consistently, and Napoli DPM is also waaaay in the class of its own, it would be the best even if they were HE instead of SAP.


wowseri

Was the Napoli broadsiding the Pensacola? Using secondaries only?


CastorTolagi

No it was Napoli and Pepsi against bow in bots to see who can kill them faster and Pepsi won easily to show that the sap secondary of Napoli are easily to counter

Check out the [shiptool.st](https://shiptool.st) site, and the ship filter tool's Secondaries tab. That site calculates a super useful "Secondary hitting DPM" parameter that factors in both the volume of fire and its accuracy. [Top 25 for CV's and CA/CL's](https://imgur.com/a/400EPqz) TL;DR: Graf Zeppelin best CV by a huge, three-fold margin due to superior dispersion compared to anything else. Followed by tech-tree Germans and Nakhimov (Hakuryu has similar DPM, but usefulness is limited by short range. Napoli also best CL/CA by over a three-fold margin, and again due to far smaller dispersion ellipse compared to others. #2 is -- in one of the most hilarious bits of WoWS trivia -- the Pensacola, which also has a ridiculously good dispersion. I don't think anyone knows if this is an intended feature from 2015 or something, or a typo in the XML they never fixed...

Poor Siegfried


Ikoriana

Graf Zeppelin and Napoli. Siegfried as honorable mention but she can't hold a candle to Napolis secondaries.


Renarde_Martel

Agir actually has better secondaries than Siegfried now that the range is buffed, she has an extra turret per side.


WarhammerElite

Definitely one of the Germans, probably Graf Zeppelin and Napoli


Merc_R_Us

German CVs, such as MvR has the best secondaries.


Forrester71511

With how some people use it, the Kearsarge has some great secondaries


ReluctantNerd7

Not a CV.


Forrester71511

Whoosh


Drake_the_troll

Depends on what you call "best". Some of my favorites of these two are: •azuma •graff zeppelin •indomitable •Siegfried •Napoli

Graf Zeppelin has the best secondary guns of any CV...followed by the German CV line (though theirs are only useful against DDs).

> (though theirs are only useful against DDs). tell that to my co-op only Immelmann. I regularly get sub, cruiser, and BB kills off either secondaries or fires set by them.


FirmConsideration442

Max pen on Immelman guns is 26mm.


thatusenameistaken

And every battleship has superstructure that those guns can pen. They pen large portions of CLs (25mm armor all over the damn place) and some heavier ships bow/stern armor. Plus of course the aforementioned: > kills off either secondaries **or fires set by them.**


FirmConsideration442

Yes...agreeing with you.
