globally a PBB is much more useful, specially the sevastopol that is also relatively difficult to hit, the PBB will also hit much more often with its 12 shells.

which beggars the question :

..... can we get an idea of the benchmark gun performance ? .. for avg 11+ at-lvl gunners non-BVE . ? ..
....... ( ahem - can we please NOT snicker at the idea of 11+ non-BVE at-lvl gunners using auto ?? ) . . .
altho i now begin to wonder if borodino's size means semi-blocks in auto without crossing since close together
which, again, beggars the question :
... ? .. How do the Borodino and Seva do with Auto-FCS ... ?? ...
ie: how bad is the spread penalty ? ... for avg 11+ at-lvl gunners non-BVE ...
help the nubo-coin-rich decide which ship would be better use .. or .. more fun ... or .. whats what whatever ..
how do they match up ?? : ....SN SEVA -vs- BORODINO ....
.. ( assume >> .. at-lvl non-BVE avg 11+ gunners..) ..
or as the OP said it : ...

I'm thinking a PBB would be more useful, but haven't really seen the Borodino in action.
From the ship info, it looks like the Borodino's guns have pretty high shell damage,
but there are only two main turrets.
I'll probably get the Sevastopol since a PBB will be much more useful for leveling as well as more competitive.
... anyone ? ... bueller ?? ..
