This is based on my Expirience with both ships.



Prince of Wales.

Pros:
Speedwhore set up: 2 14inch Mark III (lvl 75) guns with no armor. From 29 to 47 knots speed.
Armorwhore set up: Same guns as above, as much armor as you can put on it. Dangerous yet vulnerable target.
Balanced set up: What beter suits you.

Cons:
Vulnerable ship with any set up upon any other ship of the same tier. 


EBB Hood 1939

Pros:
4 Gun set up, you can put either 14inch or 16inch guns on it. Great Broadside firepower.
Good turning force, not the best, but just good.
Good looking ship, i like the sprites.
Cons:
Ship Displacement does not allow you to armorwhore it with a full 13 sailor crew. 
Even with the most powerfull engine you can use on this ship it wont go faster than 38 knots with a 2 gun set up and no armor.
  Verry big ship, this is even bigger than a BB6 Kaiser or Queen Victoria. Whats up with that? NEEDS FIXING ASAP.
The gun set up is not clear for this ship, its a puzzle to make it work the most balanced way between firepower and range. (i will reach Queen Victoria before figuring the gun set up for Hood 1939)
The range is significantly short to call this ship and EBB 4. It should need to be called EBB3, and the lvl limit reduced between 75 and 80. IF you want to call it EBB4, fine, but fix the range and make a special gun for it.
More vulnerable ship than the Prince Of Wales. I got 2 shoted in the first 5 minutes of a battle in 6 battles out of 10 with 900 SD. 

For those are wanting a Hood 1939 dont go for it, its not worth it. Stik to the BB3 you have now and level from there, or choose the old EBB Valiant to do so, you will level faster with a ship you know, even if you know it from this forums.

In my expirience the EBB4 Hood 1939 is the WORST EBB THAT SDE HAS DESING IN THIS GAME. NOTHING TO DO, THE NORMAL HOOD SUCKS, BOTH SHIPS ARE TO BIG.

I expected more from the EBB 4 Hood 1939. I will try to figure out the best set up for this ship, find some more pros, and update this thread ASAP.
