Get a Mandel and level in it till your crew is 8-10 levels higher than Lyon/Paris.

why would i use a mandel?

if you have high lvl gunners go with lyon other then that paris

Paris - Has higher OH Speed but has lower gun damage than a Lyon, (For me) it has the higher hit box.

Lyon - Lower OH Speed, but awesome gun damage, (I've Lyon on the grind to Alsace, playing the BB3/4 a few times, but mostly its almost all Lyon grind)


If you can suffer being in a lower speed ship but has got awesome damage go for Lyon (Lyon has 35knots OH, but if you want to have a higher speed but average damage go Paris (for got the OH Speed of Paris).

i find both good

in spread lyon is forgiving even with a shotgun spread, at least 7-10 out of 16 shells have possibility to on the enemy ship

while paris its hard to hit in term of its size as long as you know how to dodge, if you got good bve'd engies and its 12" its easy to rush a blind or a lone bb
