  • Why does the County suck so bad?

Seriously. And before I get the standard load of replies, it's not me. I don't suck,
I'm not a noob, I know what I'm doing. First off (and least important), it looks like
garbage. Second, the spread on the 8" Ls is completely horrible. Even with lv 54
boosted elite gunners, my spread is so bad that I can hardly ever put a shell on
anything at max range. It's basically an Edin that you can put more armor on with
one less R slot, and crappier guns. And it's one of TWO RN CAs, excluding the
Furious, which from what I'm told is also pretty worthless. And to top it off, I have to
grind through eleven freaking levels with this pile. I'd have taken the York line,
except I don't like playing the same ship for a freaking month trying to level up to
the next one. Is there anything I can try or anything to at least make this grind
bearable?

"County doesn't suck -_-

Use trip 6" heavy shells. And stick as much belt on as possible. Wait a bit for all the
torps to get used and then just rush everyone AND wonder why the heck you get kited by KM
ship till you are sunk."

Never use 6" on county. It like using HHE on a BB.

If the retardation forced on you by SDE, called hobbit war doesnt suits you, use the
county in great retard fest 2.

Either as AA ship with rp10s in the R Slots, or as kill the odd BB not knowing what a
county can do.

Just aim for the biggest ship in gb (hitbox wise) and u will do more damage than 80% of
todays BB5.

one more thing, never ever use light shells on a uk ship that isnt a bb, they just go
everywhere stick withy heavies till you hit bb. you dont neen anything other than that in
a blitz anyway.

you could try trip,6 you get about the same firepower with a better rate if fire, but you
loose a little armour penetration.

ive played ca's for the uk all of them! including the furious across 5 crews and about 6
pairs of gunners, i would say the ships are pretty good and the spread isnt a problem.

the furious with good gunners around 57 is fantastic and will crush everything in a blitz
bar the revenge, even that said, the furious will crush the revenge if the venge is in the
hands of a noob.

uk ca's are not fantastic but they are are ok, i had no problems with spread. you have to
wait longer for your gunners to be good. county is level 45 if im not mistaken. when your
gunners are roughly 10 levels above the ship guns the uk guns start to get tighter
spread. in some cases its a little more.

i like uk ships, my only grievance is the lack of range.

look at the profile of the ship. add in the slower maneuvering rate, and the fact the
largest guns it can pack are dual 8" (only the York & Furius can pack 8" trips). and the
spacing of the R guns on the ship compared to other ships of a similar nature.

now if you've taken the York route, and you remodel into the Surrey CA, you'll have the
exact same issues.

I found, especially in blitz games, but overall, use trip 6" guns on the County instead of
8" duals. for the added time it takes to fire two shots on the 8"s, you can get 3 shots
in on the 6"s doing nearly as much damage, without the long pause in between.

I agreee with PittPossum. County is one of the best CAs you can possibly get.
Just use the triple 6'' guns as they nearly have a block shot and then just armor it
up to max and punish your enemy. You will need some practise with these accurate
guns but it will help for later KGV and POW action.

County does not suck, it's down to preference. But I can definitely say the County is
very limited nowadays due to Blitz maps being mostly the small "Hobbit War" map. It
favors rushing ships, and the County does not benefit at all in the "Hobbit War" map as
it doesn't give you much space to run. If you must, be a host of Blitz and choose any
other map than "Hobbit War". You should fare much better in that map. Otherwise, just
go to GB2s and AA your way up.

Im not just talking about 1 alaska im talking about 3 at a time, also i almost always pown
countys before they get in range so no worry their and even if they did get in range the
furious is premium and has a natural resistance to damage.

"I just have to say 1 thing about the Furious, with the right crew and player it can
absolutly dominate. I got lvl 55 eliet acc gunners with bost 160 vets each and the rest
experts and i will tell you that i have had packs thats right PACKS of alaskas running for
their lives when im using the trip 15s that were ment for it. "

Any decent CA has blitz alaska running like heck.

Darn, I'm getting them to clear the place with an atlanta.

Whats your point?


the trip 15" have the small drawback of being ranged by the PS lines, and you would be
surprise at the speed an HAWing county can nuke you. Your overly large deck means its easy
to land all shells on it for a wooping 8k+ (ive seen up to 10k) salvo of pain that ignores
whatever armor you have on.

Also not everyone has money to get 160 vets on their gunners.
