  • CA Ammo Question

I'm about to leave my M Pro behind, and embrace the way of CA pwnage. I'm not sure
whether I'll go for Deutchland or the Hipper, but I am wondering what kind of ammo I
should bring.

Currently, I bring a bunch of AP, and a few (emergency close range) HE shells on my m pro.
Should I keep that same strategy, or will HE become almost useless, against heavily
armored CA's?

Im a Heavy HE user as well, never used light or normal....have used AP but liked HHE
more!
Only wich differs (positivly) is the range of the others but HHE gives the killing power
(atleast for now....)
What extra's does AP and HE light offer compared to HHE when i go CA ( i got the
Z99 and M-pro now...lvl 45)?

Hey guys...wait one moment.

I have always used HE heavy-never anything else.Why is it that you guys use HE
light and AP???

I am using a dland-but still using auto on it.I am thinking about changing to manual
but i am still wondering about the changes.......

So what you say is that i should get the triples instead of the 11" doubles? cause
with my level 47 gunners it will be hard to use them, but they said the 11" doubles
were better than the first set of 11" triples. is this true obst?

The first level 11s don't outrange the RP12s. RP12s have slightly less range than
their second set 11 counterparts.

lol, i have level 47 gunners and went the dland route just because the new 11"
doubles, they say you dont need so high level gunners, and well i dont knkow since i
havent tried the 11" triples. Obst are the 11" duals better than the triples? is it true
they can outrange RP 12? cause now i am in the dland route and cant change to
hipper. and my gunners are stil 47so i need to know. do i stay with the new 11"
duals or should i go and train a little more my gunners to use the triples?

yeah please frustrate me its what i want...

I noticed lately that the light he is doing very well when you have the enemy at 32+
degrees with the 6.75sL. There dont only bounce of little 70s as below but it goes way up
to 200 or more. So if you have the range you wont need to switch to ap wich does less damage.

And one tip if you hit a sirius or dido with a lot of belt at close range use ap! Many
times i got crits with 1000s. Yes thousand per shell. But i prefer staying at range.

Obst: Since my gunners are just a few thousand exp ahead of my b.o., I'll probably go the
Hipper route. I'll try asking some Hipper/Eugen players what they use.

deCool: Hey! I've switched back to light he, and it seems to work well enough. Who
knows...I might switch back in a day or two. :b

...and don't rag on gustl. It's my job to frustrate him! :)

Hi PistolPete!

I always prefered AP over He-Light. Range is practically the same and i have good
ammo vs. AW. For Close Range Combat i switch to HE-Heavy or stay with AP if it is a
AW. So for any Situation i have an ample Answer. I heard gustl scream in anger
when he encountered AW'S and he didn't do much damage against them. Never
happens to me! :-)

Hm, back in CA stage I used pure Light HE. At max range the 11"'s armor
penetration is totally fine vs other CAs.....

However, about the 8"ers you should listen to those with Hipz/PEs :)

(btw: do not go Deutschland with Gunners below level 53, better above 55)
