The Haruna is now a decent ride from the moment you get it all the way up to Yamato. This
ship makes the grind MUCH easier, and you can change through quite a few gun sets to break
up the sameness of it all. WIN.

So after the patch I'm still not sure - which one now is better - Gneisi or Haruna?

Great thanks UmbralRaptor

Dark no they don't. Never had, propably never will. This is like assuming 3x11 have more
power as well, just because they have more barrels...

Km pbb guns have more damage, 9 barrels vs 6 (14.96"x2)

@Siralden None of the gunsets I mentioned will be eliminated, as they are not premium
guns. The only premium IJN gunset (The B65's 12.2" triples) could not fit on it, so it's
not like anything will be lost there.

The KM, MN, and perhaps UK EBB2s are the ones losing gunsets in this patch. But see
V2Cxbongripz's comments.

The funny thing about that message is that PBB guns on a gneisenau is not the most ideal
setup. 14.96" have better spread (shotgun with PBB guns and BC FCS), better range, and an
overall better damage potential.

"First of all, we are extremely sorry about the EBB mess.

We have checked and confirmed that few EBBs can have the PBB guns, and this is
the bug that we did not intend to make. New EBBs cannot have the PBB guns, so this
should be fixed. If only few EBBs can have the PBB guns, then it should be fixed
either to remove or to make all the EBBs have the PBB guns. We are concerning
about the entire battle balance, so we decided to remove all the PBB guns from the
new EBBs."

Quote from NF.

Does this mean that some of the options you just mentioned will be eliminated?

We don't know 100%. The Kongo (12.2"/ 50 Type 98 L and 14"/ 45 Type 43A N) and Mikasa
(12"/ 40 Type 41) guns will still be available. Presumably, so will the Fuso/Ise guns
(14"/ 45 Type 43A L and 16.1"/ 45 Type 3 D).

The biggest thing that I'm curious about is if the 20% T-slot size buff on some other
EBB2s will carry over here. Not that it matters if you already have AA gunners, but it
would be nice if someone is still leveling up armament sailors...
