4 enginners, 3 repairs, 2 scouts for me :)

3 rep/ 5 engie is the way to go :)

Reps ftw! if i had some credits to spend i would buy an engineer though (i only have 3
ROFL!) I'd go 4 reps hands down 3 engs for me is enough to get in and out of fist fights

thanks verfallen, so armour from the bulge are is a go-go for torp attack :)

I'll try and remember screenies next time I'm in game, but I didn't know they were
good spread guns, so maybe that's why they almost block?

"Sure I lose some overheat, but I do like almost blocking with the Bissy 14.96 Ls at
or
near level."

Screenshots of spread with and without seaman?

The reason I ask is that unless your gunners are 9/9 with no experts those guns
pretty much near-block no matter what level they are.

Right now I'm having fun with 2 repair, 2 engies and 2 chief seamen on my
Gniesenau EBB. I know, I know, it's not the KM way, but I could always go back to
YA/MO and play my normally sailored KM ships if I felt the need.

Play what's fun for you, that's all that really counts.

armor on KM is the equivalent of bringing a ball chained to your feet in a gunfight.

Totally uselessly slow you down, and wont stop much shot from hitting you full force.

0.2 belt and bulge to serve as anti-torp defense.

Slow the H44 below 39 knot and it lose its edge against all other bb5, as it wont get out
of the way in time to avoid the returning salvo they'll shot and take it all on the stern.

@ all so an add-up armor should also be used to gain strong displacement and durability
within the game?

Mesy said AA isn't recommended... what? Not running AA on the H44... lol
