Due to the lack of discussion about MN's 2 BB lines and their speeds, I'm starting one.
MN has 2 ship lines, the Lyon line and the Normandy line.
Comparing ships of the same tier, these are the current stats:
Lyon More firepower (4 quads) Slower (35kn)
Normandy Less firepower (3 quads) Faster (39kn)
EBB2: Le Harve Decent speed (37kn) More firepower (4 turrets) 1 more support (7) 1 more bind of ammo (6 binds)
My question: Should the quad 13.5" guns get an accuracy buff? And by how much? If buffed, should there be a damage nerf? And again, by how much? Should the Le Harve get a better FCS? And which FCS? (Screenshots will be below.)
Lorraine More damage per gun (dual 13.4") More range Less broadside shells (4 guns) Slower reload 42kn without AA, 40 with AA
Paris Less damage per gun (dual 12") Less range More broadside shells (5 guns) Faster reload 42kn without AA, 40 with AA
My question: The Lorraine is better than the Paris right now. What should be done to the Paris to make it in par with the Lorraine without making them clone ships?
My first idea, reduce the reload of the 12"s significantly, so the 12"s out DPS the 13.4"s.
My other idea, increase the speed of the Paris by 1 kn, and swap the BB1/2s around ship tree wise so they fit. (eg, Lyon is the slow, more firepower line, Normandie is the lower firepower, faster line)
Once the BB1 remods are decided, it will be much easier to the BB1s. Submergence of these ships will be covered in the submergence thread.
