I would agree and I will leave it at that... otherwise I will rant and rave about UK lol.

Something else consistent about UK is the damage output of its BBs. It would fall
under the category of "great", except for the vanguard.

Im pretty sure H44 maxxes at 39

The sum of it's parts isn't a representation of a ship's whole, however.

Alsace 42
Super Yamato 42
Montana 40
H44 39
L2 39
SS 37 (iirc)
L2 AW 35

I'd check your speeds on BB5s. SY does 42, Monty does 40, and I can't remember if H44 is
39 or 40.

L2 does 39, and iirc speed changes very little when AW 2 turret.

Should add UK to this. Best dmg, best speed, best armor, and great range.

The only advantage that is consistent is armor.

Should add UK to this. Best dmg, best speed, best armor, and great range.

If you want to have nice ships for GBs, go IJN, MN or UK.

If you want to have nice ships for FL and HA, go US, IJN or KM.

If you want to have overpowered ships, go SN.

UK....

Hard to say with is the best, there's no "the best BB who wins all the time" - it all
depends on the player

US and KM BB are different playstyles
