I have a Strasbourg right now, but this should apply to all BB players. So far I have really only been using AP shells against UK BB 4, 5 and 6 with some suprisingly good results, especially against the Lion II. My question is, are there other ships I should switch to AP for?

In a nutshell, the ships you mentioned, that's pretty much it. There might be the odd AW KGV as well.

But well, there might always be some noobs around that try to AW other nations - you notice that when there's a turret (or even two...) missing and the ship's speed is 22/37 or 23/39 (in the best cases). I have seen (rarely) OPro2s with deck armour (once even an H44 with only two OPro front triples lol).

look at the speed of a ship + settup of a ship and you get a general idea of what to ap 

things like a 2gun only L2 going 35 Knts or a 2 gun L1 going 37 knts (not all 2gun L1's some go 44-47 knt) 2 gun Kgv's going i believe 35 knt Qv's going 35 Knt the rare slow opro2-3 going less then 39 knt unless its crew is very bad etc 

dont ap all uk ships pay attention to their settups and what speed they go as how you explain what you have been aping is pretty much every uk bb4 +  

Note: some players might trick you into thinking their armored such as a regular non armored qv going 35 knt and making you switch to ap then they pretty much rush you while taking little damage from the ineffective ap shells

CVs, always AP CVs.

There are some odd (and RARE) AW setups among non AW nations.

For example KM cna AW the H44 assuming they change the main guns for Bismarck 15" letting H44 to instal about 10" of deck.

Note however that this setup is rare for a good reason.

Another ship would be a 2 gun Opro2.
If it goes 37 knts then AP it.

And then there is the usual RN King George and PoW (use usual stuff if it has only 2 guns then AP it).

I'm unsire if RM can still AW but i'm quite sure their BB4 could AW (at least back when it was tiny).
