AD is a better all round ship, period.

you can SW your O2 at 120 all you like but at lvl i know what id be lvling my crew on.


if you run round in O2 at 120... well.

ill try the o1 like u said. i hope that my crew dont be so big. but are u sure that is
with 10" of deck?

MATE.. I JUST CAN SAY U THAT:

bb3 is better them PBB, EBB3 would be better them BB3.. so..

I tried with bb5 sailors (5engys 107+, 3reps 103, gunners 106, scout), .2" belt 39 bulge
to keep 27/45, 2 front 3*14.96 L with light HE and AP.

I agree the trips 15 hit very hard, I 2shotted a bismarck, crippled a SY with 3 shots, but
still I feel O2 does not offer the same durability as AD when rushing... AD suits me
better than SW O2.

Have you tried O1 AW ? it works very well, 2 front dual 14.96", very good spread = 16k per
salvo not hard to get (4/4 shells), 10" deck... when you rush, BB4/5 always miss the 1st
salvo (the dangerous one for you), and when you are in range you bounce every bb4/5
shells. You can use N or D guns to save weight... your range does not matter a lot with
this setup, and the closer you are the more you will bounce (between 36-25 angle its fine,
deck hits and bounce)

meuhbat, just put 15"x3, .2 of belt and bulge until 1 knot less. dont use deck because km
armor is very bad. with this configuration i go at 45 knots. i have crew 120 lvl and
sometimes sends blockshot

Yeah...

Obviously, I didn't go into enough detail, especially when anyone would think a Z99
can do anywhere close to what an OP2 can do. And as for taking a BB spot, perhaps
you'd like all the other BB1/2/3s to stay out of the rooms also? They also can't do
near what an OP2 can. Even an AH OP2.

Raven. What a total waste of a BB spot. Your team is always playing with 9 BB's when you
do that.

I could do that with a Z99. But better, as I'd spot the subs while you wouldn't.

I used to have a hoot with my OP2,,

I'd put on maximum bulge, 255, and 8+" belt. Fill the T slots with HH and head for
the nearest sub. There is no sub that can scratch you with this setup. And the main
gun range is still great, and with decent gunners, the spread is not bad.

You won't be gunning higher level BBs at range, or speeding around, but you'll
usually win the games. Subs can be the deciding factor, so eliminating them ups
your odd of success greatly.

As well, you just blast any smaller ships that get in range with one volley usually.

EBB O2 will probably have 1 more support slot, and more DPs.

@guicifer : i'm going to buy a O2 back and try a 2 guns speedwhore setup to compare its
ability with a doria, but from what I remember, Doria or O1 armorwhore are better.
