... what Danita said (you can bank on him being a voice of reason...)

I always have a chuckle when I see people looking to buy crews and insisting on all elites. For those who know, those crews are the "sub par" ones. That's all right for me - makes me good money xD

No, Norm, elite engies are not worth it. As Danita explained, it's their repair +9 that is the handicap.

Wrong as 6 Elite Engineers and 3 Elite Reps Repair cap @ 120~ vets.


How on earth is that inferior to 11rep/12 engy stat sailors? They have higher engineer stat, thus longer OH time and still repair cap.

If you think people won't realisticly have 120 vets, Christmas event every year. There is players who haven't put a cent in this game that have 200 vets on half their sailors

What you don't realize, is that due to boosts, 20% of a sailors main stat of 13 vs 12, outweights 2 sailors +9 vs +11. With extra ability to top it off.

The true ability of Elites @ lvl 120, with setups of 6 engineers/4 reps, both sets 109 vets, boosted, max experts (No Rookies) and one set being all elites and the other 11 rep/12 engy base engineers and 12 base reps. assuming all are classed on time.

The true ability of elite group exceeds the true ability of the regular sailor group in both Repair and Engineer. The Restore true ability of the elites will be less than the regulars, but will still cap in the low 90s.



It amazes me how little research some of you people do.

Apparently, you do your research, norm, but you aren't good enough at (basic) maths...

 

For USN, 6 of your engy elites (boosted with 120 vets rest experts) at level 120 give me 9.3 million true ability of repair, 3 of your elite reps at level 120 yield 15 million true ability of repair. In total, 24.3 MTA.

For RN, that would make it 27.7 MTA.

Please do tell how this is anywhere near the rep cap.

The only way your setup comes near is for UK and 6 engies / 4 repair, making it 33.1 MTA.

I simply have enough vets to counter the difference.


I don't have elites, however I do have 32.1 million true repair ability along my entire crew.

 


I don't suck at math, I didn't have the time last night, nor do I atm, to put the correct vet values up as my crew doesn't contain elites to have the correct vet totals to post on here.

I didn't miss a single ACT or SAT question in any math categories. I'm pretty sure that means I don't suck at math.

You guys keep talking about +9 rep on an elite Engy, once it's boosted it +11.  Not too shabby since many people settle for that as their base for an Engy or Rep in the first place.

It's always good to think before shooting your mouth off.

Apparently, you had enough time for posting incorrect stuff. You would have even more time if you decide to not post when you are not sure.

Yes. I have +11s(boosted) on my Kaiser and using AA gunners. Still hit the speedcap with ease, have long OH time and a useable OH rate. If you have some skill, thats all you need. Only if you want to play WaW you see, that you have some small disadvantages, but still not a serious issue.

The only elites that are worth the money are engineers, fighters, or a seaman with one of those stats. We can't test for fighter ability caps, so might as well get the best. Ships have a speed cap, but engineers continue to add overheat time, with no cap. Everything else hits a cap at one point or another. So with elites, the only thing you're doing is reaching that cap faster. The only point in all elite crews is flogging WaW and high sale prices.
