Sirius easy got more gun spaces

Just to note, what ever you have heard, the Sirius is a great ship, and should be in every
British players Arsenal, Best after you get dual 6'.

You have enough armor to survive a shot or 2 from a BB at distance. You have the turning
radius, and size to be difficult to shoot (if you are moving around alot.) And after lvl
40 or so you will find the guns start to fire pretty darn quick as well.

I made a habbit of jumping into Cl CA BB rooms and harrassing the BB's for big EXP and
Credits! My sirius rocks, yours can too!

J-n

I thought the kind of disgrace that some poke arsed person calling himself sgtxxx
was the kind of thing moderators were supposed to look out for. Don't allow
someone to talk politics on a game forum. If he wants to do that he can come and
debate the issue with (real) senior military officers at my invite!

The Falklands was a true victory for a joint British campaign and the US did very little
to help. Where was the 'true' friend then?

sgtdeaux piss off. You sound like some 13 year old spoilt American child. Go read
some history books and w**k off over George Bush. It's people like you that give
Americans a bad name.

As to the topic, stick with the Dido if you plan to go Eding, because it is available one
level after the Sirius can be obtained. Take the sirius if you plan to go York, because
it's a long grind to level 43 :)

the sirius is better than the dido

if you fit dual 6"Ls you have enough room for 2binds of med HE on each gun, i find
this enough for each game

The UK did pretty good in the Falklands considering the state of the navy at the
time - the goverment were just about to sell off our last 2 carriers, the Argentinian
airforce way outnumbered our Harriers like 4:1 (our Harriers and GR3's still pwned
them), and the mostly outnumbered marines (who made their army look like a bunch
of fairys.) Aaannnd it was all a last minute thing. To be fair, we did also use the
hunter-killer submarine h4x.

One big failure of the Falklands was intelligence; the goverment didn't want to
believe that a country like Argentina would start a fight with a nuclear power, even
though they were blatantly saying to us "Sort it out or we'll take the islands by
force." Any warnings fell on deaf ears because the gov. at the time was all about
saving money by killing off our armed forces. Some people say that Argentina
misinterpreted our apparent lack of interest in the build-up as us saying 'it's ok, take
the islands - we won't fight.' By the time Argentina realised we were fighting and
they had used up their few exocet missles they didn't have a hope in hell.

Interestingly, the UK would have been happy to give the Falklands away but the
islanders were really stubborn about remaining British, even though Argentina
offered them some really sweet deals. Funnily enough some of the islanders said
they prefered the Argentinias while they occupied to the Marines, the latter were
said to be far more scary :)

We lost a few ships, 20-30 sorties a day does that, but compared to that certain
loss inflicted on that certain country's navy in one single day it's peanuts.

I'd love to hear from SgtDeaux how we got our asses kicked in the Falklands, when
we sent a task force thousands of miles away, conducted one of the longest
wartime bombing sorties ever, drove the Argentinians out of an island a couple of
hundred miles off their mainland, and won the war.

Stop trolling, you moron.

My opinion is - go for the Sirius, if you have enough money. The space for ammo is
not such a big problem.... I usually survive with my Sirius to the last fourth of every
battle and 3 sets of ammo (I guess 4 is maximum) is enough......

Dido vs. Sirius

Dido Pro's: You can get is at lvl 28.
You can carry more ammo.
You can carry heavyier Guns.
You have a slightly better AAW than the Sirius. (this is passive) ya know the guns that
automaticaly shoot when ever a airplane come's into view.
You run at a faster knot speed of 2 to 3 knots. (dependent on weight/bludge)

Sirius Pro's: You can get at lvl 34.
You can get (1) more gun placement, however the traid off is you can only carry slightly lighter
guns.
You get 400 extra Hit points, Dido=8300, Sirius=8700
You can a slightly bigger FCS space Dido=50, Sirius=55

These are some extra things you might want to think about before you make your dission.
hope it helps.

Tyson: sirius remodel loses gun space when it gets the extra turret. This is what
he's talking about. Goes from 81 per turret to 74 (at least I think those are the right
numbers). The extra space being needed if you want to have enough ammo to run
with the dual 6 Ls
