  • Recommended armor for OP2

I'm just getting use to it yet, switched from the AD recently.

Is there any build setup recommended? I know KM will never find a good balance
between armor and speed factor, but running wild withour any armor as i've seen
sugestions seems to be kinda suicidal.

Maybe for this ship is the right setup, I dont know, thats why I ask to the more
experienced players.

3 engys (1 E/100Vts) and 2 regulars.
2 reps (1 E/100Vts, the otherone 100 vets)
1 rest (sold actually, just draging him around for lvlup)
rookie.

I've tryed so far different settings but the speed reduction is noticeable, considering
the shorter range, it's almost a crippled cow in a slaughterhouse.

Any advice is welcome :)

No armour m8, only 0,4 belt, you will be faster enough to avoid torpedoes and fire from guns.

The armor works fine. It depends entirely on your opponent though. As a reliable grind I
would not recommend armoring but it's fun to switch it up once in a while.

If you catch a H39 off guard and get into range he's doomed for instance. Even though
he's in a higher tier of ships. Your biggest ally is that no one expects a KM ship to wear
armor. It seems as if some players remain in denial and refuse to switch to AP to kill
you.

what do you guys do with bulkhead?

being a brick in the water after a single hit sucks..

since you get even slower after getting hit i try running a couple of bulk points
(think it was about 5).

i sold my OP-II and moved along in the Gneis ebb (3x trips 14.95 with limited ammo)
that was the best decision on my KM BB line so far :)

Ya Im running 120 bulge and 0.3 armour. YOu are definitly going to want to run a fourth
engy because at h39 and higher its a must. Try and buy yourself one of get lvling one
up. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but its important to have 4 engys while playing km.
Or any bb nation matter of fact.

Hm. You're also on BisNYland. Poke me sometimes about some BB practice, maybe get a
BB123 room going?

So far 220 bulge without loosing a single knot.

Getting use to the hit and run tactic, the extra speed seems to be unnefective against
anything but probably i'm doing it wrong.

0.2 belt and bulge without losing speed is a common setup, but you can afford to lose 1
knot if you want to put 160 bulge on it.

Well, will try tonight to get ridd of all the addon armor, put a damn load of bulge and
see what happens.

About the engy, usually i would run 4engi/2reps but i'm lvling a restorer for someone
thats paying good creds for it, so can't say no to that :P

Will tell ya later how it went.

Thanks for the advices.
