I know there are tons of topics on the forum about them. And i've read alot of them.
But alot are old, and say the same thing. More damage = tenn, more speed= penn.

But what I've been told is that when you have high lvl engineers the Tenn actually
outspeeds the Penn. It also has more damage because of the 16", and holds more
displacement.

I'll have lvl 90 gunners and 4 lvl 82 engineers by the time i reach the level. So would
my crew be too heavy for the penn and it'd be better to put on the Tenn with more
displacement?

Another thing I was thinking about would be to go Penn, and since id have so much
extra Engine over the speed cap for the ship, i could burn experts to get my vets on
my engys past 100 to maybe 120ish. But then, i wouldn't be able to play my SoDak
and i'd have to use my AA ship alot to regain all the experts, but i'd have improved
engys.

The Penn also has 10? t-slots with 71 space, and that's pretty good AA. 10 barrel
broadside of the 5"/38's. but that's going to decrease some of the speed advantage
of the Penn, and all the AA with my higher level crew will be pretty heavy.

So for a lvl 80ish crew with lvl 90 gunners, what ship would you pick and why?

And at what level of the engies does the Tenn become faster than the Penn, my
engies will be about 82, base 11, BVE?
