what's with the 8 gunners? all you need is 2 heavy gunner classed as acc/rld/acc.
I personally dont like the US AA,so i dont bother leveling reload gunners.its up to you though


BB support sailors,level them all now if possible. leveling again from lvl 0-100 for just 1 support crew is annoying..
-4engi/4 rep or 5Engi/3rep and 1 scout


and you might need to roll another BO so you can level those support sailors. 
because you want to have higher level support and gunner than ship level.
dont even bother leaving the port without supports.

Engineer Engineer Engineer! <- you need that! 

Keep the 46s and class to reload next.

The other 46s seem to be 12RLD so keep those for AA?

I think you have a 11/11pair there too which could  be sold.

Can't buy a BO, you will have to roll your own.

And as mentioned, find yourself several engineers.

Hopefully everything there is classed on time etc ~ otherwise start from scratch might be just as good.

The hell?!?!

Why for gods sake would you have 8(!) gunners, seeing as there are only 4 slots maximum on each ship where gunners are used? Sorry if I am upset right now, but I cant for the life of me see any reason whatsover....and that really bugs me. >_>

As others have said, ged rid of those excess gunners, keep the elite ones and class them reload from here.

Make another BO and use him for the ships that you didnt took with your 1st BO, so either somers/gearing depending on which you took first, then going the northampton line to the nevada.

Get ALL the supporters needed (5 engineers and a scout, you already have 3 repairers) ASAP(!!!!) and try to keep them at the lvl of your BO at least...you will have 2 BOs, that makes it much easier to lvl the supporters (and gunners) above your BOs.

Also keep the 2 lvl 46 reloads, they are about the same in ability...or level 2 US AA gunners. Most dont use them and use supports on the slots, but I quite like the US AA. The 3" dual is very fast firing, and the 5"/38 dual A really shines when it comes to mowing bombers out of the air.

And as a general advice, your spread will continue to suck for quite some levels, until around lvl 70-80 (depending on the base, veterans, experts and boosted/unboosted) the acc ability of gunners is just too low to to have good or even acceptable spread with BB guns...even if their classed as ACC/ACC/ACC...which really is not a good idea, as you will feel the lack of reload ability. Its not fun shooting only every 10 seconds.

Advice of a player with every USN ship: Including the All the Premium and All the event ships:

Keep 2 gunners with the Highers Acc (Matching Acc Stat/Rld)

Keep 2 Rld Gunners with the highest rld (Matching Rld stat)

5 or 6 Engineers +12s or elites, but +11s are okay

5 or 4 Reps +12 ors elites but +11s are okay.

1 scout +12 or +11 Aircraft stat

Level another BO to go the Nevada->Penny->Penny(Remod)->Norcal line to help grind your sailors at a more even level.

Your current BO should go Alaska->Guam(Remod)->Colorado->Sodak

Attempt to sell your remaining 4 gunners. @ 5 million each, if noone buys them (I'd be surprised if any did) after 2 tries in the HQ sales. Nuke em.

You should keep:

2x Lvl 46 Acc Heavy Gun. - 28 Acc. - 995, 19 Rld - 797 As main gunners

Lvl 46 RLD Heavy Gun. - 17 acc - 693, 27 Rld - 862

and

Lvl 46 Rld Heavy Gun. - 17 Acc - 693, 27 Rld - 862

As your AA Rld Gunners 

Keep your 3 +12 reps, Either roll or buy 2 more.

Roll or buy 5 or 6 +12 Engineers (6 if you want best performance by Monty/Nebraska)

A +12 aircraft (Or +11) for a Scout.

Yeah, 8 gunners is a bit excessive isn't it?


So let me get this straight.

I roll another BO
I get another 5+ engineers and another repair
I sell my lvl 50+ gunners
and on the next "classing", i turn my 46 ACCs into RLDs and my 46 RLDs into AAs?
 

I've already got a lvl 26 Rookie pilot and also a lvl 43 2nd planesman. 
Also, i have repair (or engineer, forgot) that's British. Can i mix nationalities on the support slots or is that ineffective? 


....just checked. I only have 1 46 RLD heavy gunner, not 2. I don't know how that happened.

Anyways, should i sell my 2nd planesman? (and for how much ;P)  

Edit: Just checked again, I can't sell 3 of the gunners since they are "basic" sailors. Only the lvl 52 

sigh 

Oye, another surprise

Went in the Japanese shipyard, turns out I have another 45 and 32 USA engies, +24 base, and a 32 japanese engie with a +22 base.

 

L55 Rld hvy 19/26  ->  11/11 Sell 3~4M (or keep and find a match)
L46 Rld hvy 17/27  ->  9/12 Sell 2~3M
L58 Acc hvy 26/19  ->  11/11 Sell ~3M
L52 Acc hvy 26/18  ->  11/10 Sell ~2M
L55 ACC hvy 24/17  ->  9/9 weak stats. Dismiss this one
2x L46 28/19 = Elite Accu. pretty good, class as reload huge and keep as main gunners

3x rep +25 -> +12
2x eng +24 -> +12
IJN eng +22 -> +11

Just use the trade tab in the shipyard. The server will determine the pricing. The prices I listed are for Nebraska server.  

You just need 2 identical gunners and 3 Engineers to complete your crew.

Your options are to either roll a pair of 10/12 gunners and use those with the second BO, fresh engies and to bring up the rest of your supports. Or roll one 11/11 gunner and use your main gunners to bring him and the other up to 55 like the other rld gunner and make sure he is classed rld > hvy rld. You are not that far off since your orginal crew is pretty decent.

You cannot mix nationalities (and have good results) and your planesman will not help unless you want an SS later on. I would sell everything that is not used on the US BB for now.
