Thanks Blazer4show, I hadn't though of putting the 11" triples on my G43. I put on
just the 2 front guns, and it started out badly for a while, I was hitting an AW loin for
about 2k a salvo, and wondering what was I thinking. But at the end of that game I
had about 65k damage delt and got 26K experience.

Partly because the 11Ls have such a small spread and such good range, or I was
just lucky no one 1 shotted me.

Much of the fun of this game, for me, is playing different ways and not bothering to
listen to how some think I should play. For me it's a game, not a job.

Last set of Trip 11L's outrange 14.96". There is a reason why Bismark players used to use
the Trip 11s and not the 15s. The relatively recent buff to the 15s has still not put
them to the range of the 11ls (as it shouldn't). These are major factors in why we see so
many H39s with trips (beyond the obvious of easy xp).

Its hard to compare the two ships: AD is about dodging, Gneis is about speed. The choice depends
on you.

I think the Andrea Doria has more range than the Geneisenau 1943, as well as more
weapons charge

Not even close.

The G1943 can use the Bissy 15"L guns. Nothing out ranges them in this class.

No offense to AD users, but my best battle using the Gnei involved me fighting an AD
1vs1 in a GB II room. When I snuff out his scout using AA, and getting to land 3-4 shells
on the AD (the AD was half HP by then due to an earlier fight with a Monty I used to AA escort
before the monty got owned by another BB. I also got bombed by the tail) he was pretty
much a sitting duck. Also, even if
he could see me, his gun's range were nowhere near as mine.

Granted I had a sucky shotgun spread but given time he would've been mine in one hit if it
wasn't for some H44 taking the kill from me. :P

If you have chosen the OP line, get the Gnein, it will give you an overall look of what
you've lost by not picking the Bismarck line.

I fully regret of that line, so i used the AD since 65 till H39 and I'm having serious
doubts yet to keep using the AD.

And yes, the AD is the slowest PBB around, even tho it has the higher turning force of
all and a very decent range (on my BO lines, the AD shells go further than my H39 16x2
L weapons) but well, I'm trying to get along with the 39.

Why do all the blind sheep keep saying the Andrea Doria is fast? It's the slowest of the
PBBs...

The BB2s will do 49 knots with a 100+ crew. The EBB2 will do 51 knots with a Kaiser crew.
The BB3s will both do 42 knots with a Kaiser crew.

The Andrea Doria can do 40.

I prefer andrea doria. For this:
7 places x support sailors.
Use at lvl 65
Faster small

I think that Gneisenau 1943 only could be superior of andrea doria if use gun of llvl 80
but for lvl 80 we don't need use that because there is the bismarck. For this i prefer
andre doria to gains more exp and lvl

AD is nice
