  • Z99 with 6.75D, where is my range advantage??

Hi all,

Last night I got my gunners to magic level 36 for the 6.75D's on my Z99. Everybody
in the forums was talking about using these guns together with heavy HE ammo. I
tried it and found out that my range advantage was completely gone. Z99 doesn't
have the displacement for the heaps of armor you need for broadside battles
against DDs and CL1s.

I then dumped all my torps (2x5 launcher that can only hold 19 torps in total, wtf?)
and added some more armor (not too much because of the loss in speed). I would
like to know what config you ppl use when you have fat crews (size 100/150).

Do you keep on the torps or ditch them entirely. The problem with going into battle
without torps is that you lose a lot of killing power. Could you guys please help me
out with some hints and tips?

Thanks,

how about you drop all the guns and torps and do op convoy games at 56 75
knots :)

Lets put in perspective of how strong the Z99 is....I put the 6.75 Ds on, i do usually
more than 15k dmg unless if i get torped(1/5th of the time). Any CLs i engage at full
health are gone, unless if they are like 11" belt siriuses. Even i agree w/ a nerf to
some degree.

the z99 can be faster and brook slower, but the range is almost the same, and if
brook has good guns it can outrange z99, who was the one that said the z99 has
more fire power than m pro? thats bullshit, the m pro can fit those guns and even
the 11" singles, so m pro with same guns have same firepower and if using the L
version then the m pro will outrange z99 fast and because of the weigth of 6.75
then the z99 wouldnt be that fast, maybe still more fast than m pro but if m pro
knows how to move then it would be easier, specialy because dds cant see where
their shots land without scout and m pro has scout and more range., im not saying
that 6.75 in z99 suck but some CL2 would own him easily. CL1s are mostly noobs,
and they have 5.9" guns that means less than z99 so obiusly z99 would aotrange
noob cl1s with low guns. but cl2 with high guns will out range them, and beside, cl2
dont play against dds, they play CL CA BB games cause dds are fast and torp them
and prefer to hit same level ships. a good dd can sink big ships cause of their speed.

How many binds of ammo can the 6.75D hold on the z99? According to town its only
2 binds which i think isn't enough..... but can some with a z99 currently using 6.75
tell me how much they can fit?....

the 6.75 on a Z99 really shine in op convoy.

Superjugy... you forgot one thing tho. In a fight between a brook and a 6,75 z99 the z99
wins, i say, 90% of the times... z99 is fast and small, the brook is just a big slow target.

use 2 heavy shells and 1 ap in your magazine, then u have firepower and range,
use torps if u can fit them

6.75D with LHE will range Brook, Edien and Sirus if they are chasing you and using 6".

VERY, VERY FCKING annoying if you are the CL being pwnd.

-----

Just remember, you have BETTER firepower than a mpro, and is an much smaller target. With
that kind of absurd firepower, you can broadside DD and CL1, and most CL2 and UTTERLY PWN
THEM, if your gunners are decent. (aka same lv as your opponent, with same ability)

Aside from British, no DD and almost no CL can pack enough armor to stop 6", and nothing
aside from British CL can stop an 6.75" effectively. You might not have armor on your DD,
but your guns largely ignores CL armor anyways.....
