Nothing wrong with the m-pro. it is far from fail.

TBH its your crew. BVE it and you will out range, out damage
via uber spread and reload.

in the mogami cl with a lvl 50 crew i regularly annihilate
60k worth of ships.

Add a pile of experience and the fact that 70% of blitz players
are noobs... and its free killing.

Dang... this is getting disheartening.

Suddenly all the mass torping in Blitz games makes more sense. Everyone is lvl 60
and below so the CLs, CAs, BBs and even better DDs have roughly the same
effective range.

With gunnery marginalized by vision limitations torps become a lot more important.

Vision for high-caliber shells is too low until Lv 70ish. That being said, a noobLaska
driving into DD range is fail in general, but so is the spread with Aiming.

Good advice, I dumped finder.

When I started with the Kriegsmarine I anticipated that the M-Pro would be a long
range killer. Nope. It turns out that was a myth. The M-Pro is for Bridge Operators
LVL 37 to 44. Sailors at that level have very short vision.

Because of it's low vision the M-Pro doesn't shoot any further than DDs and LCs with
smaller guns. On the downside it has almost no armor and low survivability in close
combat.

The next time I see an M-Pro in Blitz I'll know it's a fail ship.

The only thing that worries me is that when I upgrade to the Hipper with 8" guns I'll
have the same problem. I can't see far enough to use their range. However unlike
the M-Pro at least the Hipper is a tough ship that can take a beating before it goes
down.

I always wondered why so many Alaska BBs that packed 12" guns sailed into close
combat like a DD. Maybe it's because at low/medium levels nobody sees far enough
to shoot much further than a destroyer? Is that true?

Finder FCS is not for accuracy. It really doesn't serve much purpose now at all. Use
Aiming FCS to hit your targets.

You are right the M-Pros 6.75" guns have excellent range. But unfortunately players
can't use them to their advantage because BOs level 37 through 44 can't see very
far.

BOs 45 and up are in larger ships and are too heavy for the M-Pro.

I switched from...

CL FCS 1 Aiming
Accuracy Revision: +65
Marking Range: 1.2 Km

to

CL FCS 1 Finder
Accuracy Revision: +13
Marking Range: 1.56 KM

I can see my shells splash at their furthest range. This is awesome! But my spread
seems like it's significantly worse. My shells are falling BB ship lengths apart.

Am I seeing that right? Aiming is tighter than Finder?

M pro is a good ship for blitz, as long as you can hit other ships at max range, or close
to max range. If I remember correcectly, the M pro has the most range of all CLs with
non BB guns (cough KM 11" singles, UK 18"). So the only thing I'd be afraid of would be
CAs and BBs.

If you're spread isnt very good, then I'd suggest using the trip 6" actually, as it's
firepower is similar to the dual 6.75" and have better spread.

But as others have said, use the emden in GB, and do some AA. It'll give better credits,
and probably better XP.

Don't use Finder. For AA or for gunning.

Hi Lordsaxon

I just switched from aiming to finder to get longer marking but it's a lot less
accurate... I think. I'll give it a shot.
