Hello NF,


I'M about to buy a whole E/B/V/E/ subcrew.

But i've got a few questions:


1. What nation should i choose? I'd like a sub with a well reload, but also a nice
speed (not the slow subs, AND NO KM PLEASE)
2. Since I buy a SS starter pack, boost etc, i've heard its a waste to make an elite BO,
so should i roll a BO with engine stats and potential??
3. B/V/E when i buy, or wait a while?
4. Imideatly class my sailors if they can class (like the sonarman) or wait, i've heard
waiting gives more ability?
5. What means cappig ability, i've heard people about capping, is it getting down
your ability, or what?


Thanks!

lol@ no KM

roll a 15 pot for bo
use a seaman and /or engie not a repairer(rep given in sub pack...who knows why)

km will own anything out there and sometimes take 3 or 4 subs by itself

they are all slow until they get to 40 knots lol
it comes down to the engineers to maintain that 40 knots thats important and KM
has the engies for that so @ no km = life will be tougher

my bo and after torps are skeleton

In ultradogs post, disregard anything about BOs. Ive played 4 different sub nations
and none of them have showed any difference in any form of dive times. Assume he
was high, drunk, and sleep-typing when he wrote that.

@yogi maybe its lag for whoever said its 4. If they lag, the crash dive is server side
so it would take longer after the button press than something like a gunshot which
starts clientside. I find my crash dive times in any sub to be quick enough for my
purposes.

Now wait just a minute, I have seen subs CD a lot faster than 4 seconds, and they were
not even over 100 level yet. How can that be?

BO does not affect anything on a sub that has to do with diving/ crash diving. End of
story. I have had a full BVE BO with 110 vets (ya i know a waste of money) and it is still
4.125 seconds to crash dive. No need to spread lies. (yes i did time/test it)

Those who advocate for "skeleton" BOs are wrong.

Advanced BO allows for a lot quicker crash dive and recovery. More vets and experts
will reduce the time to crash dive and result in a lot more victories versus DCs, HHs,
or SS duels.

I run fully loaded sailors for my KM SS4, except the gunners and rear torpedo man.
Everyone else is maxed all the time.

Do not underrate the value of the BO in the sub.

An uplevel Sonarman makes a big difference in picking up enemy subs and torpedoes
further out. You are at risk if you have a weak sonarman.

An uplevel Planesman means a quicky reload to keep air when necessary. You are at
risk of the ultimate SS death sentence: running out of air.

Uplevel torpedomen will reload quicker and defeat your enemy. You are at risk of
getting killed or losing your BB if he runs away while waiting for a reload.

Gunners are low priority. Rear torp is mid priority. Many times I have dropped a
smoking BB as I turn away to find another target, and send him a farewell message
dropping him cold.

Keep an eye on your target's DP level. Don't waste too many torps that can be used
later. Running out of torps is the same as running out of air.

Ok thanks.
So i powerlevel BO, and just class torper, and use it on a ship? because if i powerlevel
my BO, torper also needs the same/higher lvl to operate the torps.

I do not recomend power lvling anything but BO, because you'll loose ability... so
class torpers on time.

@ Dom im not from America, im from Holland.

And, with my BO, you sayd, you can make it level 12, Class it to a nation (US for
example) and level it till (lvl 40 for example) and then class it as BO, you can
"powerlevel" it.
Will this also work for torpers, give them a nation, put them on your ship, powerlevel
them and then class.


Will this work?
If yes, should i B/V/E them?
