UK will hit the acc cap early, no matter which class path is used. After that only 3

gunners,

my imaginary fleetmate is "cocacoke" and if i find the time i upload the video to
youtube soon and u will see his ghostship from my imagination...currently rebuilding
my house..

do we have a lower cap for ACC then reload? i know what stuff are in important but i
still got no answer why gunner spread is still different.
more tight spread can be improved by vets too...counts for reload too?!

so i guess 90% of all UK players classed the gunners wrong..they went ACC and
seems to be stupid then..mmhh...

Based on what ive seen and know i got elite reloads and classed them reload. I hate
waiting for my guns to reload.

I hate, hate, hate the spread of my guns when at lvl but they get really good at lvl 70+.
But i know i would hate getting sunk while waiting for my guns to reload.

I figure - reload cap is ahrder to hit so you just need more reload.

Others seem to prefer more acc.

danita...

explain why reload elite gunners at level 100 do not have pretty nice tight
spread..but acc elite is a lot better?!
i still see big differences between elite and normal base 11 gunners on same level.
and u want to tell me, that reload gunners do the same? how comes?

so in your words: go for reload and enjoy a nice spread on level 80, cause the cap is
reached and it wont be better!?
interessting...then we do not need ubebr vettings our gunners...its useless. cause
the spread or reload will not get better

to bad that i do not have the reload gunner set anymore...

edit:

a clanmate has 100% reload elite gunners with 140 vets. 11 47 in stats.
spread of my gunners are better. reload is identical. video is done.

Disregard the previous poster, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Before the caps were raised, reload gunners ( with 11-13 base acc) with standard
bve ( 100 vets, a lot of experts and a few 10's of recruits at the most) hit the Acc
caps well before lvl 80.
That is too say, from that moment on accuracy and reload gunners had the exact
same spread if they were of the same level.

We dont know what changed in the previously known accuracy formula since they
changed the caps, but a reasonably guess will probably put the new caps for reload
gunners around lvl 80.

since when does UK gunners hiting the reload caps when those gunenrs classed to
ACC?

i speak from normal, not overvetted, uk gunners.

like someone said, acc and class them to reload is one way. but the spread will be
very randomly and u will not hit the cap...spread will be fine in high levels,..like 110
but it wouldnt be same then acc classed gunners.
otherwise u overvetting the gunners with 170+ vets...same counts for the other
way..

i played both kinds of gunners and i played a vanny with acc elite gunners with 120
vets. level 100 and spread wasnt great. not really tight. it was a bit better on lion,
but not much.
same ship with reload elite gunners was just terrible...for me!

a friend of me bought elite reload gunners and classed them to ACC. on level 100 u
can feel and see the differents in reload time. u have a nice advantage against other
uk ships with normal ACC gunners. for me, it is the best way to go like these...buy
reload elite and class them to ACC. u hit the acc cap early and high precision
targeting/firing is possible.

its easier to handle a nice spread with longer spread, then a randomly spread with
fast reload...
it do not help if u can reload amazing fast but the shells land somewhere around ur
target or just some single shells help...

reload-elite=classed to acc + 150+ vets= perfect

@farazelleth

I'm 99% sure you hit BOTH caps SOONER with a Elite Acc gunners classed as RLD...

at lvl 87 BVEed gunners got both caps....FYI

buy elite reload gunners and class them all Acc.

U hit the acc cap regardless but also the reload cap much much faster.

"acc,acc,acc, you want to hit and kill ur target right"
---------------------------------------------------------------

Sure, but your target will get to shoot two to three times before you make your
second salvo.

well it was answered, so I woun't bother...BUT

I'll add this....USE SEARCH.
