i loled hard when i read this forum. 29 knot andrea doria with modified guns! haha
mine goes 36 now with lvl84 engies. got 237k attack yesterday in bb room in my ad.
since its got short range you just have to rush in a few seconds longer to get your guns in range, not a big deal, pop smoke if you wanna live longer.
i average 90k attacks every battle. and trust me im not the best of bb players, but i dont see what everyone is complaining about 

Lol i feel bad for u guys, got a b65 and it is a beast especially when u get to have 900 SD and 44knts(lvl 92-96 engies, all boosted 80+ vets and 600+ experts) just got the AD with a at lvl crew goes 33 knts I believe. I put a at lvl crew on it but they already have lots of vets and experts.

Well, i played with AD with +10 lvl crew. running at 34knts. I liked it, normal/mediocre spead, hard hitting, slow, small and overall a good pbb, but not an excelent one. If you leveling in the conti line and have a good crew, at least 10lvls higher tham BO, you should buy it, because you wont like playing with Regina Elena. 

nice, i take AD yesterday and i use that mode:

RM CV III Engine Heavy (+knts, +overheat time)
12"/46 Model 1909 (3xLv.68 guns) in 4 slots
Crew EBVE lvl 60-77 (100-139 vets) and take 37 knts
Good Spread, acceptable reload, good dodge, can put a lot of ammo if you want, and can take a same slots of BB4 to lvling supports.

Guns 
5 Engs
3 Reps
Scout 


AD is good ship only need know how use it.
