I just typed a huge message about it and its lost due to a fail bug when clicking "post", I'm so angry, I can't type it again, I'll type a shorter one -.-
SY is not the best BB5, and will never be because of its 45deg guns.
Shorter hang-time = higher probability to hit. The hang-time give you a range advantage when running, but it is just too high with 45deg guns, and no competent player will keep rushing you, negating your "advantage". And you cannot rush efficiently. Every BB is best when using speed and range, play it defensive-aggressive like I like to define it, even range lacking ships will pwn with this tactic.
to all who say SY is the best bb5, explain why I survived alone with 2 cvs in my brand new h39 (3rd game with it) against 2 SY + 1 dunkerque and 2 cvs too, during 5 minutes, till the time is over, doing 230k on them, taking 70k. 1 single L2 could just push during blind time and out-damage me so hard with its 6 front barrels. the SY couldn't hit me, always a few mm missing due to 45deg guns.
The L2 has usable advantages against an equal skilled player, the SY not really, just hope a bad mistake, a lag, a failed rush.
Thats why I went KM after selling my L2 crew and getting a CV crew instead, shorter hangtime, better range (massive advantage till BB5), longer overheat, just what I needed for my playstyle.
L2 is imo the best all round BB5, capable in every situation, never disavantaged. But the other BB5 have the opportunity to exploit their own advantages, SY has some, H44 has some too, like every single BB5. find your nation.
