  • Questions Regarding the L1

Ok, I'll soon hit the required level for L1, and my gunners will be about 94 or so when I
reach it. So there is no worry about not being able to use the guns, however I'm worried
my spread is going to be horrible.

My gunners were 11/10 Acc gunners, and have full experts with about 70 vets on each
(waiting for a vet conversion event...)

Now, my question is, I recently won a boost item in the event, and was questioning
boosting my main gunner and using the L1 with only its forward guns, until I can get a
boost for the second gunner. For now I run a POW with only the forward guns.

Is this viable? Would it make much of a difference in the accuracy, or am I better off
using the boost on another sailor, such as one of my engineers.

Obviously for L2 I will want both gunners to be equal, however I feel that it will take a
LONG time for me to reach L2. Of course there is also the issue of if a speed whore L1
with only forward guns is viable. Does this setup work? I see lots of people using it.

sorry if this seems fairly obvious, but I couldn't find any threads regarding the specific
issue, and don't feel like messing something up.

Thanks! Any thoughts?

You can play SW L1 with only front guns. Just keep both gunners on the ship. Have the
boosted gunner man the front guns and play it like a POW that way. You can also play 2
gun L2. However, with that, you'd want to AW it. 2 gun SW L2 is not a very successful
setup.

Just as a side note, you can AW 2 gun L1 as well. It isn't what it used to be, but it is
still a very useful setup.

Well, I looked into Aldaberts ability guide, and indeed I have hit the acc cap. So I guess
this is all a moot point, since it would be useless to only Boost one gunner. I think I'll
wait till I get the L1 to see if my BO can spot the shells landing, before I use the Boost
incase its needed for him, otherwise I'll boost up my best Engineer.

Acc isnt a problem, you have reached the levelbased acc-cap even without boosts, so only
increasing your level will help for better spread. The way bigger problem is your reload,
so you have to boost your acc-gunners to get better reload. I have lvl 116 10/11
acc-gunners, standard BVE and they will reach rel-cap at lvl 119/120. You will need boosts
and more than 100 vets to reach rel-cap at lvl 120 :)

Speed whore L1 is completely viable and with front guns only, you can go 45 or 47 knots I
believe, can someone confirm this?
