Why the Lyon is better than BB3 and BB4

ghostrider2	French is the only nation where the bb3 and BB4 cannot do 200k attack but the Lyon can? Why you ask, the Straw and Retreatalou do not hold enough ammo. While other nations hold 4 binds of ammo for three or four turrets (with two or three barrels per turret) the french only has two turrets with quads, so it goes through ammo quickly, around 150k at 25% hit rate. Summation, because of the lack of ammo the French have the worst BB3 and BB4 in the Game.

Daniel4802	After playing the Stras Bourg and Richelieu I went back to the Lyon. With the Lyon, I can sink BB45 if I get in range in a 1 on 1 battle. The Rich, at level, is pretty much food for other BB45 due to poor spread and overall shell damage. Regarding the binds for BB34, you'll be fine in small BB rooms, but will often run out of ammo in larger rooms. You can try them out, but I'll likely stay in the Lyon/Paris till I get the Alsace.

Elisiss	===Iceranger Re : Why the Lyon is better than BB3 and BB4 03 3 2010 7:50AM @masc, 3 binds ammo for a triple turret gives more salvos than 3 binds for a quad turret. Do the math ============ well, the math is about the number of "shells" rather than the number of salvos I guess. anyway, 3 turrets which can store 3 blinds each = 9~ and for MN...ummm...

Emma9	To be honest, StressBug is not too bad. But the extra slot on Lorraine is a big plus factor.

CaptSucker	also i just want to point out, that since there is one less slot on the ship you actually lose a sailor slot going from the remodeled BB1 to the BB3. Why am i losing a sailor slot for purchasing a higher level ship? Also i want to point out that you do not get the better quads at level either.

heatrr	While I might concede that 3 binds is not enough, I do find it somewhat hilarious that player skill has not been brutely brought forth as being another factor in why one is not scoring what s/he thinks they should be doing. Also, it actually reminds me of someone who is greedy in that s/he are not satisfied with 150K....nope, they want 200K.

Strata89	Iceranger: If richard's math is correct, it still have 5 salvos more than pre-patch Yamato (It had 3 binds with 30 shels, so 30 salvos). If u will use your rear R slots to kill small ship, u wont be short on ammo.

Stormvanger	I have to concur. 50 salvos worth of ammo is considered an average ammo supply to go the distance in GB style games. A ship that carries 35 or less at game's start has to worry about conserving ammo, and many MN CA's and BB's fall into this category when equipped with the best guns they can hold.
