well im not that far into km bb line{o-pro2/7lvls to h39}
but i run 6 engy's n 2 reps
it dosnt make any more speed but the oh last a lot longer for me.
{i find that speed is life in km line}
as to the aa well im not that good at aa but try anyways.{lvl 89bved kmaa}
i use the reps for 900sd n have an emden for aa duty as escort.
my personal opinion is that more engy's in km is all ways better :}

sincerly the hangman

and the person concerned completely missed the joke =D

well, then for UK go for 5/5 = bad choice
UK can cap repair easy with 4repair only
a few also can cap with 3repair 7 engines setting

so link is better this one

epic win at aing's link!

i loled aingeal

I use 5 engys and 3 reps...

Makes it easier to run away from AW ships or if you are chased by a sub

sooo you gave up the best AA of the game, for dp sec?

I have another suggestion for running that setup. read about it there:

Why would you give up on AA?

Being untouchable and playing well are two different things...

or u can run 5eng 5rep
oh time in my kaiser is 6+ mins repair rate is 260dp/sec
consider KM play style is should be untouchable from any other bbs

tbh, its a matter of preference. A faster rep, mean you can get back in the fight faster
after taking a beating, not that you can take a greater beating.

Longer OH time allow you to move around faster, as you can be in OH more often than the
previous setup, and also be maybe a bit less careful with your OH. You also hit OH cap
faster theorically, but the fact you normally gotta rotate your support will make it that
you wont have all 5 engies together at once that often.

Personnaly, I prefer the 5/3 setup, but as I said its my own preference.
