there's an extensive thread on this already from a few months ago...

stupid NF trashed the forum history -.-

Northampton and Brooklyn line BB's are pretty much the same. any advantages for the Northampton line doesn't come until lvl 70 with Tennessee 1945 or North Carolina at lvl 75. i've no idea where people came up with this idea of NH line BB's being better...


i'll do my analysis again when i feel like it..

Hmmm... Maybe brooks is cheap and better. LoL

Yeah the brook rocks, its a great dd/cl killer, but as stated before going cv route its the NH way.

Also i hear the Alaska is out of stock, which is the first bc u come across on the brook route

Me personally, I like tyhe brooklyn. It is an awsome ship. Of course I'm going both lines so I will also be able to expierence the NH as well. But for right now I'm happy with my brooklyn and kicking some dd/cl ass, and in some rare occasion some CA ass.

You can skip NH first if your gunners are not over lvl 50. Training your 1st BO to lvl46 to get NO, then taining your 2nd BO to go through Brook route.

get the brook..its an exp and money machine...

and probably the quickest route in the game.

NH also has lower repair cost.

from what ive seen in game nh bb line is not best, i havent seen many people actually in those bb's

nh is ONLY i repeat ONLY if u want to go cv otherwise u should go brook.

I went NH. I had some extra money and I decided I wanted the way that best fit my playing style.

3 turrets of 3 x 8" are pretty accurate and pack a wallop. I only have issues with the reload. Yea, don't have the shell load of the brooklyn and the only advantage I can think of is the fact that I make 20% more xp on my level 38s+

On top of that I have 4 nice stat rookie pilots that Im not sure about making into bombers/fighters. I initially thought I should go down the pilot route with this BO but after seeing an Alaska in action, Im not quite sure anymore and everyone keeps saying that the Northampton BB line is much better right?? Plus I don't know anyone else going down this BB line...do you? Something different for a change.

Brook, you do more damage because NH is a nerfed CA...brook is best/2nd best cl2.
