So, with all the spare time I have on campus doing nothing (not to mention the frustration
of rarely ever fighting a worthy opponent in-game whenever I even bother to play), I
thought that I'd spend some of that spare time writing a USN BB guide.

First and foremost, the reason that I'm writing this isn't because Ar2's guide sucks, but
rather that it's horribly outdated, plus it has no information at all on the Northampton line
of BBs (well, I guess that could count under certain definitions of "suck"). The objective of
this guide is to remedy that problem and provide players with an up-to-date source for
using a USN BB. Not necessarily better information, since Ar2 has far more experience
playing than I do, but at least more coverage and updated.

And since I've provided and updated information for more than a single sticky *cough*,
you get to have the privilege of scrolling down to the next post to read what I have to
say.

curious Kelvin... what is your opinion on NorCal's new gunset? I have at least 120 vets
at all times on my boosted gunners and get a decent spread...well better than pre-patch.

I dunno, maybe it's just because I still haven't reached 900SD with my crew yet. I'm
somewhere in the 800 range right now, but I've noticed that even though I don't get
crippled by partial salvos anymore, I still lose a good chunk of my SD, more than what I
would lose in my SoDak.

I don't really think the NC has a glass jaw anymore..It's actually quite tough..

I ate a near-full Montana salvo right on the ass a few nights ago and not only did I
survive, I wasn't even crippled..I was barely yellow..I had more then enough DP left
to run away and rep.

I ate a full salvo from a post-patch 1st set 16" Nelson and it took half my SD...

I've been driving around in an NC purposely taking hits of any caliber I can think of
and I haven't been one-shotted post-patch by anything at all. Both NC and Sodak
take damage like PBBs now..It's a thing of beauty.

nicrazor:
You're joking, yes? Anyway, torpedo loading is a bit buggy for ships with 0 armament
space (they should be able to hold 1 salvo, but sometimes can't carry any). That said,
you should not be using torpedoes on those ships.

Kapusta:
Probably semi-doable with good engineers (and the low weight might help with speed), but
the lack of range (which US ships are already short) on can't help.

If you want some unusual silliness about firepower, note that the dual 16 Ds fit on the
late model standards with 2 binds. (Yes, this lets a BB1 have almost as much firepower as
a BB3. Effectively using it is an exercise left up to the reader.) Or if you would
rather lose speed instead of range, there are the triple 12s.

What about the use of dual 16" Ns on the NM45 and other US BB2s? I don't know the range
difference between the 14" L and the 16" Ns, but the 16s have more damage, ebtter armor
penetration, and better spread. Well, they do for me anyways.

I don't know why i cannot load torpedos on my ship.I'm using a Northampton, BO
level43, on my torp slot,sailors of level 43 and 45 Special Forces. Its a 3 barrel
torp.The big issue is this,i have been using this for a month and there is no problem.

Until today,when i log on, all my torp cannot be loaded. I tried on my Brooklyn,same
problem occur. My displacement is only 9827,and fulll dp is around 10851. Can you
pls provide advise,thank you.

Actually,I follow this guide to play my US ship.
It is really helpful for me even some players have different idea with LK.

Thank you, LK.
