  • 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?

I used trip 6" Ds on the County and put as much belt armour on as i could. Its fun and
effective and the spread is nice. You don't need range in Hobbit War anyway.

HA county id pretty exciting in a non hobbit war environment in blitz. At lvl I hated mine
too that's why I dropped back to my second BO for lvl 50 > 60 in a york (almost block shot
at that point) then grinded 60>65 with the county in GB HA'ing battleships. It was much
more bearable.

An extra 30-40 vets would make a substantial difference, actually.

You're gunners suck period. That's a fact. They will still suck even if you have 100 vets on
them.

both gunners have 70 vets, 239/229 experts each, using the CA aiming FCS 1424
acc and 1294 rel ability. They're thoroughly badass for lv 54 IMO. I could put the full
100 vets on them, or 100 more experts apiece, but i dont want to spend the
money. I did forget about the Surrey, but it's not on my line so it doesn't count
anyway. :P I also realized that the grind to revenge is 13 levels, not 11, which I
think is insane. I decided to noobify my County for a little bit and put the trip 6s on,
loaded it with belt, and just bulldoged my way through a couple games, which was
kind of a fun change. I just wish there were more options...

1) How many vets do those gunners have/what FCS? (Everyone sticks on the wrong FCS at some
point...)
2) Avoid hobbit war. A "proper" County needs room to run around and pretend to be a KM ship.
3) Focus on larger ships (CA/BB especially). Leave the smaller ones (FF/DD/PCL) for other
for the most part.
4) The county and Edinburg have the same number of R-slots (4)
5) There's a third non-premium RN CA (The Surrey)
