Skillful player go PS.
New player go Admiral Hipper.
PS need a precise micro to control the 11".
New player should better go Admiral Hipper,
although 8" are scattered and not easily to handle,
compare with 11" which is much better.

Now Pepek the only thing i question on your experiance is, if you quit before you hit the
ship lanes bread winner O project can you truely make a determination about that ship lane?

after all placing your opinion on one of many ships in the tree is like picking a bad
apple off the ground and using it to explain all the apples in the tree must be bad too.

more or less correct,

yes, with the dland you start to learn handling long reload times and bb ranged weapons at
ca stage , while the hipp and the pe allow you to keep the play style of cl/ca like ships
for longer.

never the less you will have to keep in mind how the line continues and ask yourself what
ships you want to play after the cas.
I went dland ppro and had then to buy a linereset to go scharn as i didnt like the pproII.
So, if you have the bucks to change the line then the dland is a good trainer in my
opinion, but considering that you also can buy a moltke to train the playstyle sparing 15
bucks compared the treereset it may be better to go hippe if you want to play the bissy line.

So in all actuality the primary difference is that you keep a slightly faster firing ship
longer, making it more Blitz friendly if you take the Hipper lane.

And if you Take the Deutschland lane you have a more suitable training platform for
your future in the battleship styled conflicts from the guns and the range, so in a
sense, someone who wants to try a steep battleship learning curve should go for
the Pocket Battleship route I.E. Deutschland?

/signed for the most part

my problem with this evaluation is the point of view you take dear obst.

you evaluate the ships in a way usefull in the old days, the good old earn you expy rooms
where range made a difference even at cl stage.
mpro was a might and the PE a killer then.
they are gone now and will never come back and therfore youll need to take a different
angle for this.

my opinion about the lines is:
you want to play gb go dland, you get range and aa that can make a difference there.
planning to stay longer in blitz, get hipper then PE as you get more possible setups with
better guns, faster reload/ closer spread at comperable lvl, for the battle styles there.

i like flavor , therfore i hated the ppro ships of the later stages, thou dland was great
fun as i went the line with the second bo and higher lvl gunners, the rest are ugly like
a floating brick and i swaped my bb bo back to the bissy line after my first went cv.

yes there is always a moltke or the doria to buy and get the edge in both game types over
the non prem ships , but not all ppl buy them and honestly said id bet on a pe in a 1on1
with a moltke as its faster, ship and gun vise, and a smaller target.

regards

Nice job!

I finaly decided to go for the hipper, because my gunners are lvl 44 and my BO is lvl
46...

Dont ask me 0_0

admiral ofcourse!

Thanks I am just about to get rid of my m project this helped my decision a lot

how about getting a nice bb? what should I prefer?
