I have been playing Nebby for over a year now and in my personal opinion this is the best setup: 2 main gunners +2 RLD for AA or HH 5eng 3 rep and a scout. The reason i use AA or HH is because th armor isnt the best and if faced against a good sub or a pack of dive bombers you are pooped... Its really based on your preference whether you wanna go AA or HH... I usually go HH because Nebby has an alright turning force to dodge dbs. I would suggest having Elite gunners because that will help you in the beginning and in WaW and level them all accuracy for the main slot. Id say for future reference... Have a all Elite crew... it will make it that much easier to sell and preform at earlier levels untill the cap.

hi there,

lets see for a bb6 u will need a total of 14 sailors. that should be your sailor number for all bb crews.

You have the choises of going 2 main guns(acc or rel up to you - i prefer reload though) 2 reload gunners (class same way as your main gunners - aa guns for us are not usefull and wouldnt advice you to make them) 3 reps and 5 engs or you can have 4 reps 6 engs  no second pair of gunners.

however the second pair of guns might come usefull when you are in lower bbs and can not line fight due to range at least u can be usefull (and make some exp from aa or hh- killing subs).

Both repair and engine cap. Repair i think you can manage with 3 reps bve +12/elite and over vetted (109+). For engine the speed of your ships caps but the overheat (how long you can run while being in red zone) does not. which means the more the engs (same lvl though) the longer you can run on overheat.

Although uk mn and sn engs can be used on us ships (i think basically allied nations) it is not advisable as they loose ability and would underperforme on other nations. It is better if you use same nation support.

for classing of main gunners chech the forum.

enjoy the game

All around good NF advice (essential reading) check out Obst's guides at
www.nf-guides.com 

Between them, you shouldn't have too many more questions, about ... anything. But if you do, we can help :)  

Best secondary gunners are soft supports.

Thank you for all of your advice. I read the guides and comments; they provided plenty of help. Now I just have to start putting my crew together and soon I'll have a US BB line again :D

you have 14 slot, not 12...

the best way to go (for me) is 4 rep and 4 engys. All the reps should be +12 rep +10 rest. all engys should be Elite or +12(eng)+10(rep)+10(rest).

if you go for 5 engys and 3 reps while doing your grind shure you will hit speed cap of every ship before, but your repair will suck, so you'll end up in a "faster" boat who can't repair quick enough to be back in busines when you go behind friendly BB line

just my point of view

well i think 3 rep 3 eng and 2 11/11 rep/eng class eng is good enough

6 engineers 4 reps.




Reps vet capped.


Engineers can be 150-200 vets, but vet capped its nicer.

You'll have great repair rate, plus 4ish minutes of continuous OH.




Or 5/5 if your not willing to blow that kind of money in this game.

I personally classed my gunners rld rld acc. I only did this since I had them @ 100 vets as soon as I could.


Acc rld Acc or Acc rld rld would be my current choices for.




for references. I repair cap with 5 reps, I get 257 dp/sec repair with 4 (my reps are not vet capped)
