I have pretty much the same theory as lozarus.

I also found there are different "hard cap" for different guns.

I found H39 had one at 96, where I totally saw a day/night difference in my average
spread. Seemed the bismarck also get better spread regularity at that level, but I cannot
be 100% sure.

I also seemed to notice a tightening in O2 guns around 93.

For H44, I,ve noticed a day/night difference at 113, altough I must say the 44 spread
never was that awful.


As far as other nation goes, my experience is quite limited, as I only noticed that
possible "hard cap" for the first time in a yammy, with gunners that leveled to 96 also.

A friend spoke to me about the L1, which 96 would seem to be the magical level for its gun
too.

My hypothesis is that the guns recognize a "true ability" and works a bit like stairs.
Between x and y true ability, the spread will stay about the same, then once you climb a
step, you see a first big difference.

I didnt do any pushed research on that tough, its merely the observation of a player in
the course of its grinding on the server.

Hero that magic level where everything suddenly goes "ding" for spread i call the "hard
level".

A theory of mine and a former fleetmate was the lvl 117-118 for gunners of UK acc, IJN &
KM all suddenly developed the "day & night" difference in spread.

I found this to be tru of my KM UK acc & IJN gunners along with my associates also.
Our bases were different and we had significantly different amounts of vets.

I will only apply 130 vets to mine max, he would over-vet his to 200.

Anyway, 5 engineers... the fifth engineer will develop some repair ability also.

So where is the difference between 4 and 5 engies for you, if you really need to run all
the time, then ur off map before OH runs out with 4 engies, with 5 engies your off map and
got more OH left.

Id rather take another rep so i can take some damage. (ur right with 2 reps you cant take
damage, its much better with 3 or 4 of em though :P )

first seaman ability does stack


with KM if you can't run away your dead. the point to KM is to not get hit. once you
start taking damage your dead. i run 5/2 on the h44 and it works fine

oh boy... I'm only running 3 engies lol... Does this mean I will never speedcap
bb6? I'm probably doom, aren't I?

You should hit the speedcap if your engies are not BAAAAAADDD, but a fouth one is a very
good investment ;)

O.o Sorry man, you're hosed.

Does anyone know if you can trade BB6?

I am 40 million credits (I have heard they cost 50 million credits) and one lvl 115 sailor
short of playing the Kaiser. All my other sailors are 120, two scouts at 115. And since I
have never traded or had a paid account I couldn't be bothered leveling a couple of
sailors up to 115 or earning 40 million. And for your amusement: my sailors are 2 main
gunners 10/10, aa-gunners, 3 engies, 2 repairer and one restorer with 590 SD.

The reason for that is I would have never thought that I would ever leave my beloved z99.
But then SDE nerfed the z99 to death by taking away the 6.75D guns. By then I was lvl 73,
have skipped all ships between z99 and O-pro and had less than 200 SD. That's why I have a
restorer! And I am sure he does something or he might be useful one day.

So if anyone would like to lend a couple of useful KM 115+ men and a Kaiser to me that
would be absolutely awesome. I promise that I will look after them as if they were my own.
I can't offer a lot of creds because due to the high repair cost there wont be much left
when got owned over and over again.

oh boy... I'm only running 3 engies lol... Does this mean I will never speedcap
bb6? I'm probably doom, aren't I?
