At low levels and with low amount of experts/veterans you will curse your choice not to go
with elite BO. Especially with KM it takes forever until your BO can actually see your
shells land.

And at higher levels you'll curse your choice not to go with a repair-skill heavy BO to
begin with. Then the potential base will be useless because you have to trim down rookies
or even experts to have useable guidelines.

So yes, go for a +14 with really good repair base for maximum endgame performance. But
you'll hate it for many levels when you can't spot your shells landing.

Thanks fellas, much appreciated.

"I am interested to know what benefit high potential on a BO has."

It allows you to see where your shells land which is important at CA+ ships.

In short, Pot main ability, then repair secondary and restore third.

As much pot and repair growth when rolling one is suggested.
