  • US BB Seaman?

Ok guys, I have read the guides, searched for the topic and played this game for over a
year now. Despite the research and experience (and sort of because of the
experience) I am still not sure if a Seaman is a must on a US BB. I have heard many
people who swear yes it is and just as many that swear it is a waste of space that
could go to a rep or engy. The biggest case for a seaman that I have experienced was
a 120 Montana that had the tightest grouping I have ever seen from a US BB. He
landed all twelve rounds on the citadel of a Yamato. After the game I asked him how
he got such a tight spread and he told me that 120 gunners with 130+ vets and a 105
seaman. My question is this:

Is a US seaman worth the space he takes up, and if so how high of a level does it need
to be before you start to notice a difference?

"With your reply, no offense, but you really have no clue about what you're talking about.
Having a +9 pot seaman is possible. Having a +11 bo is possible."

You are right, i forgot about the yellow sailors (never had those) and the elite sailors.

From my test, my seaman has a boost of 9,87% precision to at hundreth unity.
That he is a lvl 119 with no boost.

EDIT: I meant repair rate.

I just hope they someday unlock AAW stat, i just can't wait to shoot down those pesky T3
fighters down (because if Seaman would affect AAW stat of other sailors , you can already
imagine the AAW hellzone a USN ships would become with a seaman^^)

As far a how useful an engineer is on a battleship... consider the stacking effect of
Engineers. (See Adalbert's Guide) Each engineer you add is worth less and less.
Eventually, you reach a point where a seaman is more useful than another engineer. And
for US +11 base engies with 120-150 vets each, that number is FOUR.

I get more overheat speed and time out of my seaman than I do out of a 5th engineer. And
his repair stat, while not as good as a repairer, is decent, plus he boosts the repairers
I have on board. Once I move up to Nebraska and add another Repairer, the seaman should
be a net gain over another Repairer.

with your screenshot, you proved you are wrong, or have you ever seen a sailor with less
then 10 potential?

My guess is you have never done mistakes with you starting crew. Back there when I have no
clue about english much, I classed the starter restore as my seaman, AA as my BO, scout as
gunner.

Instead of deleting them, I just kept them as souvenir.

"The real ability of a seaman will and be only displayed right when you level him.
As a sailor pop-up level screen appears, all unboost stat will be shown.

See example"
