As my experience, i skipped the K-berg.
I think k-berg is just a thin boat with more ammo space and better fcs.
It is much different from M pro.
I grind with Z99 until m-pro becoz the z99 is much more maneuverable than K-berg.
I use my z99 to be a cl-killer with 6.75".

For my m pro:
5.9"x3 D for low lv ( more shell, faster reload )
8"D 1st set for 46lv ( more damage , vs CA style )
6.75"L 2nd set for 5x lv true KM style ( learn the tactic "hit and run" )

In GB game:
my m pro is multi- functional.
R: 4.1"D HE+AA (the reload is fast when ur gunner is high lvled)
T: Hedgehog (with s .onarman => Anti-SS)

Ar... less ppl mention the use of the rear T slots on m pro. 3 T slots are
wide backward angle. they are quite useful comparing to other cl3.

Both ship can do run and gun.
Its not the point.

i choose the necro

but yea i sau k berg so u can learn how to play km u know run and gun

i choose koenigsberg....

During my years in NF I have found there were only 3 or 4 cruisers i genuinely enjoyed
playing with, and those would be the Atlanta (and its remodels) for HAWing, the Mogami for
being awesomeness in ship form, and the K-berg. For me its got the full package. Its sexy
looking, its damned quick, its got access to a decent FCS, can mount big guns and nobody
expects big things from it.

Either the 6.75s or the 8s when you can get them, ok so its a bit above the Kberg level,
but damn its good fun. Besides, the Mpro is ugly, its still got all the resistance of a
wet paper bag, its wider, its slower and did I mention its ugly?
Not that the M-pro is a bad ship, and it certainly has its place, but I would not skip the
K-berg, my favourite km ship i think :)

I stayed in the Emdem just AA-ing until the PE, then made the puddle jump into the Moltke,
but that's just me.

im skipping the Kberg going straight to the M pro and then the Hipper

if you think the 8" Ds reload is awful i wouldnt recommend Dland 3x11".

Tbh, Dland route gives you right away the feel of BBs. But if you dont have good gunners,
and even then, if you aren't familiar with BB play, you will hate the Dland.

For beginner, I'd suggest the AH route. For true KM feeling stick with the 8". Better get
used to slower reload, more range, better punch playstyle right away, as its what BBs are
about.

I also found the 8" D better for Mpro personnaly. They have a lot better punch than the
6,75 and makes you a bigger threat for many CAs. Watch out for Mogami and cleveland still
tough.

N1ghtmare, I'd still go with the hipper since u have a choice of cv or bb route, plus
the guns are almost the same so its not a big change. Also, d-land's high r mount
isn't really useful unless your gunners are 10 lvls above your bo.

I could have bought my hipper by now if i had the cash. i suppose i could sell something
but i like having a bunch of ships ;)

i tried to run the 8's on my m-pro. my rangeing sucks so 1 out of ever 3 vollies hit and
with a two and a half year reload i was useless to my team. I tried going back to the
tripple 5.9's with faster reload. figured i could just shot gun them if my rangeing
sucked so bad. Toss enough shells at them and SOMETHING has to hit. but range on those
is so short you have to be way to close to the fight for KM.

so its back to the 6.7's and try my best to get better at ranging so my shots actually hit
something.

So at this point im back to having to make a choice. Hipper or D-land ???
