being a good 10 lvls into my AD she is really staring to come alive for me and the type of
crew i run.

Ive got the 12.6 dialed in for med range HE to feed on small ships all day long. Once ive
chewed them all up, I take my poor place on the line... perhaps to shoot some planes down
and make the occasional rush toward the end of the round.

Point is it will stick and move really well, and has the extra support slot which is the
deal sealer for me.

AD becomes ridiculously powerfull with high lvl crew and one player who keep dodging.

Don't expect Gnei to do the same with its huge hitbox and "slow enough" turning force.

AD. Don't get me wrong I dust off bismark for BB123 battles, but that's about it. AD
is smaller, far more maneuverable, it has some firepower for a KM ship, good AA
capability, and an experience bonus. (edit) And an extra support slot, which in itself
would have made the decision clear for me. As a leveling platform, it's better. In
GB/GB2 it's far superior. In BB123 I'll go with Bis or O-pro.

Psh Ill take any normal KM bb23 over AD any day.

The differences between Old Gnu and Gnu '43 are:

1) 3000 DP
2) 1X extra support slot
3) New paint

There is nothing else anywhere that says anything about diff. engines, guns, or anything
else. Gunspace=same. T slots=same. Aircraft space=same.

I suppose that they could allow mounting the AD guns but is that really an advantage? Swap
14.96" out for 12.6"? The 14.96" are arguably KM's best guns (all things considered)...

Unless there are some goodies that they are intentionally keeping from us, these event
BB's are in no way comparable to PBB.

AD>Gnu 43'>Gnu

And your explenation whould be?

Ad>>>>>>>>>geni

Don't forget they will *stop making event frequently* because they still want to sell
their product :3

Oh wait. Speculation FTW

well... the 5 lv difference won't really matter *much*

the other qualities on the other hand....

if the gnei gets good speed and either improved 11" or access to the 14.96... well it
could possibly outperform doria, though, i won't assume anything.

still, i'd be reasonable to assume SDE planned keep at it with PBB's...
