IJN BB Guide

I am writing this guide, because I see a lot of random questions about the IJN BBs.
The Stickies we have are out-dated, and some of the new guides are a bit.... ugly to
say the least. So here is a simple guide of IJN BBs.

I also do not own a Ise, so I will not comment on that ship.


Order of Appearance
Crew
Kongo
12.2"L vs 14"N
Fuso
14"L vs 16"D
Nagato
Yamato
Super Yamato
Amagi

I don't own a B65.

And This is with my 120 crew. Only 4 sailors are at 118, my scout, seamen,restore, and 1
repair.

So all the things i based off that.

very good guide, simple and to the piont. only two things i want to mention. i can do 40
knts with my fuso with a lvl 100 full crew with 16Ds and three binds, if i add any bulge
it does drop. also no b65 review? i know its a pbb but it is a bb and i still see quite a
few running around. thanks!

@aingeal Yea, Nag is disappointing in a GB, but BB rooms, she will do good.

I will never take my own advice! I like rushing with SY.

No Idea about Kongo, don't remember a lot about it at level.

@CptSangkal I agree, but I'm saying the 16"D will NOT have a good spread, so the 14"L is
a better choice.

@Joker1974 Yea... I did Fuso -> 100 -> Nagato -> Super Yam. New York server for the win.

@Chisame I'll add the Support slots, No other Statistical stuff though.

You should add support slots and other useless statistical stuff. Good guide IMO though.

Good post, but I have one thing to comment on. Choosing between using the 14L
and the 16D for the Fuso should be based on personal style and skill level. The 14L
does have better range and spread, but I believe in the right hands the 16D can
pwn more in GBs with the greater firepower and rld.
Just my 2 cents.

"and the 45 angle means you should not be rushing."

You should listen to your own advice :P

Otherwise great guide. I'm not sure tough, but i think kongo has the worst range of all
BB1(safe alaska using 12" N maybe). I'd need to test with the Guam.

About kongo still, if i recall well, it hit the speed cap with no engies at all. maybe im
mistaken ill check next time i log in.

I found the fuso a better ship to use in GB than the nagato, until maybe my gunners hit
lvl 91. The fuso, altough it has less range sport a better spread, and is smaller, which i
found made it easier to dodge bb4/5 shots while i got in range. I played 2-3 games with
the nagato when i got it, and switched back to fuso after being frustrated by a salvo that
went on both side of a L2 in range. I finished grinding to yammy in my nagato, since I had
manageable spread when my gunners hit lvl 91 about. But I do agree that the naggy is with
a decent spread probably the second best BB3, tied with vanny, if you use that range and
speed well.

Thats a nice guide, and if someone could de-sticky the outdated one and put this one at
the place it would be nice.
