1 Seaman is what you should have 2 is pointless. 1 Seaman gives you alot better fighter
ability and helps alot with rep and restore as well.

client side seems not to calculate seaman bonus in habour.

however, it shows visual effect on gun line when you play the game.

A seaman bonus seems to have visual cap easily, which may not be true in the server.
and the bonus from seaman is not a fixed percentage bonus in clinet visual, which may not
be true to server too, however.
multiple seaman work too, with poor performace, i mean in client side visual too.



however, did the topic start ask about the price of 115 Lv seaman?
what are we disscussing? :-)

@ Adamai

I would have to disagree with Adamai. Simply because its very difficult to accuratly test
the performance boost a single or multiple seaman grant.

That being said however, I tested my lvl120 ebve fps with 200+ vets with my 3 lvl120 bve
seamen with 150-200 vets. While its hard to prove if there is diminishing returns the fact
remains 3 are more effective than 2 when used against the same opposition.

Personally I run 1 on my Midway with a medic (i like my experts) in GB2's and in Harbour
Assaults I run with 2 seamen (I like 8 pilots & engi). So for my PCV I can run 3 because
one of them acts as a BO.

Another side effect of the seamen (because im only using it to boost my fp lethality) is,
with my engi Midway goes 25/40 as stated in harbour. But put a seaman on either Gun or
support slots and in-battle ship goes 41 knots.

Seaman only really work once they reach high lvls, e.g. 110+.

just wonder is it necessary to use elite FT seaman? i have FT 12 base seaman with 50 lvl.
it seems doing nothing with my FT

Well I am not going to bother getting a seaman. I will just fill the slot with my 120 engy.

I am using PCV at this time, but won't be long I will have Midway.

you only need one seaman, they give deminishing returns the more you use so if a seamn
only grants a 2.5% boost your not really achieving anything infact the slot it uses up is
probably better filled with an engy or rep. what you have to remember is a seamn boosts
all stats very slightly, where as a support sailot that has say a +11 in fighter would do
a much better job and also boost your sd significantly.

my pcv has this

6 x fp +12 bve
1 x seaman standard doesnt need to be bve ( is some times change this for a rep)
2 x tb +12 bve

crew levels are 107-114

but yes one seaman is the most pratical choice if you absolutely have to have one.

It would depend on what the cap would be set at though it would have to be reachable by
IJN/UK. That is also of course assuming T4 fighters are kept as they are now. With the
large gap in true ability between UK/IJN and KM/USN in the end it would make overvetting
KM/USN fighters obsolete.

I believe it only would make T4s better in comparison with T123.

It would seem a cap on defense could actually solve all the balance problems that this
most recent patch has caused.
