I'm sorry but the old Vanguard needs to be returned along with the new post patch
range then it would be classed as a BB4 not a 3.5.

Needing 3/4+ engins to reach its original speed cap is stupid and the crap turning
force now in place.

The ship was originally classed as a BB3.5 and the only adjustment needed was the
range increase that it has now. Obst and team glazed over the Vanny with technical
info that this ship would come out the other side much much better and be equal to
BB4's when infact it wasn't.

They made the level higher, the ship slower at level, made the turning force much
slower.

They increased the range by a little amount which is not really worth the slow
reload, bad spread and low damage.

Having played on AZ for best part of about 3 years and about 6/7 months on NY I
haven't seen many new Vanny ships about compared to prepatch which is a shame I
usually tend to find myself the only vanny in games 70% of the time

The Ship should turn at least a bit faster, that slow motion turning does not match
with its shade.
Just got it new, really like it, very good to defend position.

The Vanguard is a good BB4 if you have good gunners.

But normally when you get it you do not have those... For me Vanguard became enjoyable
when my gunners reached lvl 105. And that is kind of late... Iowa and H39 were enjoyable
right out of the box.

With that low shelldmg, you really need good spread.

Above:
I usually do score in top 3 battleships even if I play at level BB3. I definately don't
need Vanguard to reach "achievement" of ending with attack behind BB6,5 and some 4's. It's
no big deal. Speaking for MO, of course.

After i hit lvl 120 with lion 2, i leveled my backup BO.
My lvl 120 BO did the nelson&lion 1-line.
Now i have vanguard since two weeks. It's a great ship. I always score top 3 of all bb's
in a game, doing between 100 and 150 K dammage every time.
Speed is 40 knts.
Pretty fast turning.
Good range.
Tight spread. (nearly blocking with lvl 120 acc-gunners)
This is my setup :
3 x 2 15 inch guns
4 engi's
2 rep
1 seaman
1 scout
2 AA gunners
1.2 deck
1.2 belt
60 bulge

Strange, guess its just preference. I've seen my Vanny get hit hard by bb3's but i find
the Hood to be the same. It could also be the size of the hood. Just one of those things
NF which we will never know

erm.................16" mk1s for my vanguard
15" mk3 Ls for my hood

armour is just anti torp stuff, .4" belt for vanguard, .2" belt for hood

for crew, 4 engies, 1 rep and a scout for support for the hood
vanguard has 4 engies, 3 reps and a scout

it just feels like my SD just drops rapidly with the vanguard eventhough both have 900SD,
like i can loose half of it in 2 hits from a BB3, but my hood can get just barely a quater
of it's sd lost, but it's alot bigger and gets hit more lol

@above

What setup were u running for both ships? Ive always found that the Vanny can take a way
more of a beating then the Hood.

you know somthings wrong when it feels like a hood can take more hits then your
vanguard.............

range is fine, but the damage+reload+spread does not make up for it, especially since the
16" mk1Ls have nearly the same range
