One MN BB in particular, stands out. Well, to me at least.

The Normandie is a great little, underrated thing that many people don't pay notice
of, and once in range, can do quite a lot of damage. Due to its small size, many
opponents will struggle to hit you.

I've taken down countless BB5s and even some BB6s with a well timed rush, and
often survived with just minor damage.

After landing a few salvos on one particular victim, he finally figured out what was
hitting him and remarked, "Oh sh*t I thought that you were a CL !"

who ever said MN fighters are better than Uk is a fool. MN fighters sucks big time, as
most locals seem to have more fuel than the MN t3. All the other stats dont really matter
as only 2% of todays cv players know how to use a cv in the first place. Thats why you
want long fuel time above everything else, so you can shut down parts of the map more with
less plane loss.

As for BBs KM and IJN need most multitasking, thats why they are hardest to master, but
then SY is very rewarding if soemone masters it. H44 aint bad either, but not as good as
sy if you ask me.

But then it doesnt really matter, as long as you manage to press F ur better than 50% of
todays NF players.


never played a SN BB so cant tell you anything about them.

MN BBs suck for the most part, i wouldnt bother using them. Lorraine is nice, but thats
really all there is to say about em. US and UK are perfect for GB... FFFFFFFFFFF,
Spacebar, Spacebar, Spacebar.

hardest bb6 to play is obviously p24 rgith now.

Fugly as it is, the Fuso is one great BB killer in a GB environment with those dual 16s.

It was about the only ship I used in my entire IJN BB grind, which was rather easier
than I expected. Never bothered with the Nagato or Yammy, as I could just use this
BB2 and gain better exp bonus when slaying BB4s and BB5s.

I had the most fun with IJN BB's. Though the guns are somewhat difficult. I guess the
challenge is what makes it cool.

Hardest:
BB1--> SN
BB2--> Can't say really :S(KM at lower levels)
BB3--> UK(hood), KM(bismarck)
BB4--> MN
BB5--> KM
BB6--> IJN

Since you will use BB5 for most of the time, I would say KM. IJN is hard if your not
used to it, but once you get used to 45 degrees gameplay it becomes easier.(no
need for much AP use)

SS:
Generaly hard-> US/SN
SS hunter--> IJN/US
BB hunter--> SN/US

CV:
Generaly hard-> UK(obligated to use TB's which is harder(takes more work/attention)
then using DB's for causing effective damage.)
Fighter: UK/IJN
DBing: UK/US
TBing: KM/IJN

MN and US are probably the most balanced nations.

@Sindher: LOL...

UK is the hardest for BBs

US is the hardest for CVs.

KM/IJN/MN are the hardest for subs.

>UK is below average
>MN is average

>MN has higher stats on its planes

I SEE NO PROBLEM HERE

UK are shafted the worst.
IJN at least has the speed to run from USN fighters and hopefully kite them to death.
KM has the +fighter bonus and good enough aircraft to fight USN on more or less equall
footing.
UK has nothing.

Seriously compare MN to RN and what do we see?

MN fighters are supposed to be average across the board and the effect is... well... thay
somehow ended up better than UK fighters in just about everything.

DP AP HE Speed Fuel Sight Attack Loadtime
169 23 1 650 109 820 190 13 <- RN T4 fighter
168 23 1 655 114 823 193 13 <- MN T4 fighter

So... RN fighters have 1 more DP while MN get more speed attack fuel and even f@#$ sight
range and the trend continues with fighter tiers (lower tiers having less offence and
speed but more resilience and fuel).

On top of thet MN pilots along with USN get an extra +3 to their fighter growth (2 from
nation and +1 from special force promotion)

Good job SDE.

Sometimes i wish players could create their own custom fighters by alllocating statpoints
in DP SPEED ETC...

Sigh...
