Ok so maybe the USN EBB2 isn't the best at low lvls. But never fear it gets better with
high level heavy crews. Heres a comparison using the exact same crew on the ebb and its
bb2 counterpart.

It can almost work as good as a Colorado:
16" MK 3 Ds 2 binds (Colorado ran 18 extra buldge, 1080 less DP, 30 degrees narrower guns)



It can almost work as good as a Penny 43:
14" MK 7 Ls 4 binds (Penny ran 26 extra buldge, 1280 less DP, 10 degrees wider guns)



Thats with BVE 1 lvl 95 4 118 engies (you get the idea). Do also note that the USN EBB2
exactly fits the entire bb2 crew. Not to mention the mississippi's r space ensures you
wont place any wasteful AA with its fanstasic 40 space.

it would need a 7th support slot.

Then it would be a lot more worthy as it would have been a buffed colo that allowed
someone to totally skip sevas and enjoy a true USN ship.

As it is now, there is little point to it I'm afraid, if not making a fun 45-47 knot NY
gunned ship for a round or two, but has ramp4ge said, its not an efficient setup, altough
somewhat fun.

In the end, its merely colo with a slight dp buff.

"Having the ability to mount the NY guns is a plus even if you lack the 5th turret."

Not really. New York's guns are already pretty pathetic on the damage charts, and hit
way, way softer then the Mk9 and Mk10 guns on the Nevada, and feel softer then KM
11". Losing 20% of your firepower when compared to a New York just makes it even
less viable as a real setup.

I like this ship if your missing the NewYork or CO...prolly try to get it again TBH. If it
couldn't use the NY gunz, my view would in fact be slightly diff't. Good ship, fun to be had.

went km on 2nd pick...overall best choice for my needs.

I agree with storm...

Penn43 is manlier.

The one thing the Mississippi can do that the colorado and penn cannot is mount the 14"
mk12 EBB guns. Yes they're duals, yes they have bb1 range, yes they have light damage...
but the 15 degree angle makes them SO easy to use! I practically cannot miss, even
speeding FF.

Plus with the NY EBB duals loaded, the Missi hits 45 knots modestly armored. I'll
screenshot when I get home from work.

"IJN gets a mini-nagato with 7 supports"
Actually, the Haruna has 6 support slots.

Im still outrageously disappointed...we get a 5th bb2 that isnt as good as any of the 4 we
already have, yet KM gets a 50 knt ship with bismark guns and 7 supports, IJN gets a
mini-nagato with 7 supports, MN gets 4 turrets of bb3 awesomeness....how is this fair?

Fantastic. A boat that is almost as good as my Colorado, and almost as good as my Penn
'43, both of which I have. Le Havre it is. Shame, I made a good harbor sprite for it too.

So what you're saying is that if you load it with a BB3-4 level crew, it works about as
well as one of the regular BB2+ boats?

yay... can't wait to sell, uh, I mean 'get' one...
