Just wondering what is up to date current ranking of BB5's.

For me personally: US>UK>IJN>RM>MN>KM>SN

This is jsut based of what i experienced facing the BB6's in my nebby.

what do you think?

Nebraska is overpowered.

All 45 degree BBs have a hard time hitting things due to shells traveling for like... forever.

Kaiser has damage consistency and spread issues (something no BB6 should have... EVER).

The SN BB6 has a row of vodka powered paddlers instead of a engine (the space went for extra alkohol storage).

QV wrecks everything in GBs but i'd rather have a nebraska in HA.

Yeh i agree with you on SN.. My main concern is RM since i got a perfetc BB6 crew for it right now and my BO is 10 lvls away... I wanna know if its worth it, or just reset to UK or sumthin.

I only have the IJN, KM, and UK BB6's:

Amagi has horrible hangtime, but hits like a beast. I've seen them one shot AW QV's with HE at max angle. They aren't very useful in GB's, but are great at defending harbors.

Kaiser has most range, but can't even 2 shot a UP41. An extra 572 damage per shell wouldn't hurt. You should have other ships to back you up. (2 Nebraskas if in HA)

QV is a great ship. Not so much on range, but good with firepower. Even if you are going 40 knots, expect to be AP'ed. This ship is great in GB's and HA's.

I hope my viewpoint helps.

I would have to say nebby, QV for HAs but if you have a lot of kaisers they do make a difference

havent tried P24 yet im 4 lvls away, have mixed signals on it, ill find out soon, amagi is a great defense ship, its AA really helps on the back line while it can pick off heavy armored ships

the Char well.....hmmm its a desent gun and run ship, packs a punch, but has a glass jaw

I hear the RM BB6 is great, havent had the oppertunity to try it yet

but best all around BB6s have to be Nebby then QV

To be honest, all the BB6s are pretty even with some beeing a bit better in special rooms, but as good in other rooms.

Line fighter: Kaiser, P24
Rusher: QV, Charly
allrounder: Amagi, Nebby, Up41

Yeh i agree with you on that. Nebby is the best :).  Charla does have a glass jaw, but ive seen experienced players use that turning force to its max potential.. 

Kaiser hits like a girl.. looks amazing.. yet its so low on the ranks for BB6's its kind of sad since H44 is a really nice ship.  

I guess ill have to wait and see how the RM preforms.. nothing speaks better than your own experience.

i have amagi, QV, and UP41,
my brother has P24

P24 is a great ship in W@W, but not other rooms and HA this is what he said
amagi is a great defense ship
QV runs at 40 knt = beast
UP41 amazing ship, hits hard, 39 knt, slim

while i against other nations like kasier and noobraska,
kasier has a crazy range, so DONT COMPLAIN!!,
NOOBRASKA IS DEFINITELY OP, HITS HARD and 2nd longest range,

if u dont agree? have a look at HA, see what do most people use

I got in order, Kaiser, Nebraska, QV, and UP41.

1) Kaiser. In HAs, I prefer using the Kaiser due to the AA. It's got weak spread and is a bad target when smoke rushed and without help, which tends to happen to wards the end of the HA. Positives are you got great AA (if you know how to use it) and can hold off several ships when fighters/scouts become scarce. It is also good at finishing off weaker ships due to the range advantage. You really have to use the AA and then use leftover shells, help smoke. It has GREAT 120 scout. It's a pinata in GBs -- nuff said.  I've been able to improve the width of my spread, altering my gunners, however the +/- spread is still an issue, along with shell inconsistency. I don't know how many times I've nearly full salvoed an AW QV with HE and and had less than 7k pop up. When Blacksun took New York from Phoenix, I remember being south wondering why their 10 BB6s vs our 4 BB6s south werent annihilating us sooner (I might be wrong with the numbers, but it was definitely 2:1)... I believe the reason they didnt rush was because they were so blind! 

2) Nebraska I hate in GBs and almost as much in HAs. In my limited experience using it, it feels like everyone always runs and shoots. Maybe I need to readjust myguidelines, but I feel like i can never hit anything with it , while always being smacked back. I need to give it more time i suppose. 120 Scout is so-so.

3) QV - probably the best GB ship, esp when the BWs are out. Great spread, damage, rep and OH time. If you are out ranged, you have to play it smart and patiently. EVeryone has one, so most people know it's pro and cons. I mainly play it AWd. I'd argue its 120 scout is also the best in either GB/HA. As for HA capabilities, the QV in the hands of a good player usually will out attack most other BB6s and be up there with the NEbby. The range disadvantage in the HA is nullified with well-timed smoke rushes with teammates, especially from the north it seems.

4) UP41. Hmm. A QV clone, but it's not as OP.  Slight range advantage over QV, but doesn't take a hit as nicely. 1 kt slower than regular QV and the damage is slightly less, or at least seems that way because of the spread. The spread is inconsistent at times and will give you 2 rows -- sometimes I get 40+% accuracy a game and other times a horrible 9% when my gunners go out of whack and the guns decide to give me 2 rows of shells. It's a great rushing ship however and it's great at pushing BBs with its manueverability. Lastly, the scouts are very very very weak. 5 Garbage scouts and iffy spread makes it sometimes a challenge in GBs to use. Still overall decent and I prefer it over the Nebby. In HAs, I've had no troubles killing Amagis quite easily.

As for Amagi, I don't really care for it, I'm at a Super Yamato right now and love the AA.. I might try it for the triple 6" ability, but the Kaiser still has more versatility in my opinion.

Charlemagne seems at a huge disadvantage due to its shortest range, horrible hang time and horrible spread (trade offs of the shell damage) .. I've used one equipped with PHH with good success in tiles leading up to the harbor tile due to its ability to outrun most torpedoes.

I'm working on getting a P24, but probably won't like the hang time.

Selethe

1. US   Nebby is the most balanced BB6 in the game.  Great speed, turning force, range, shell damage, rips right through QV AWs at default angle, scouts okay, spread's okay.  Great in HAs, decent in GBs. 

 

2. UK   The QV, like Kr1eg said is the most fun GB ship.  I usually run mine speed in GBs and HAs because the 40 knots makes engaging BB6s with longer range a piece of cake with the basics of sling shotting.  The turning force is good, it hits like a mother.  It's an easy grind too, as the L2 is the best BB5 in my opinion. 

 

3. RM  QV wanna be, but it's still awesome.  With a little bit of crew modifcation and lack of armor, you can hit 40 knots, which ups the turning force.  (this being a few months back, idk if they changed the whole 40 knots thing).  It hits hard, turning force is kinda lame though.  Range is a bit longer than QV which is nice.  You gotta use it correctly otherwise it's worthless.

 

4. IJN  Amagi's the best defensive ship in the game.  If you play aggressive, if the enemy is in their right mind they're gonna pull back and by the time your shells land they are already out of the falling zone.  The AA is god, the engies are weak though.  Range is good, defensive slinging makes you near impossible to sink in defensive HAs.

 

5. KM  Kaisers are only good in HA, they are food for any ship in GB (for me at least).  The kaiser has horrible spread, very inconsistent spread, but the AA and range make up for this.  37 knots somehow works great on this (though 39 knots would be deadly).  What I did for my Kaiser was ran 6 engies and 4 reps (I wish I ran 7/3 though).  All my engies had like 220+ vets, so I overheated for days.  VERY good overheat.

 

6. SN  Slower and fatter than your mother in law, this fatty goes 35 knots max speed.  Although you can modify your crew, shell load, and armor you can hit 37, but it's just not worth it.  The spread is great though if your gunners are great.  Very easy to nearly block with it.  At 45 degree angles, it hits like a mother.  Once again, this ship is food in GB, but good in HA.  Defensive HA.  In attacks, you're going to get kited so bad.

 

7. MN  By far the worst BB6 in the game.  Low range, horrible spread, etc etc.  Sure, it's the most powerful BB6 in the game, but how often will you actually land a full salvo on a player?  I can only think of one time that I one shotted someone in my charlemagne with a full salvo (Was KarmaGM in their RM BB5 LOL).  I prefer my alsace over my Charle, so I just play my Alsace for fun, and I'll eventually get the BB6 just for the lolz. 

 

Hope this helps.  Pm me in game if you have any concerns homie :)
