hi im going to do a cv and  bb ijn line and i want to know:

how and at what lvl should i class ijn aa or dp gunners? they are both lvl 24 armenant sailors

and at what lvl should i class the main gunners (for bb line)

and should i get 3 repair, 3 engines ? i already know im going to lvl up a scout

 

and for cv line hmm im going to lvl up 3 pilots for divebombing and 3 fighter pilots i already have 2 ijn fighter pilots both in the lvl 40 and 1 torp bomber lvl 42

and is a seaman with +11 in fighter. AAW handy to have?

You can class them at lvl 62 however since no BB at this level range besides the PBB has a good AA battery i'd wait till Yamato.

The Main gunners should be classed on time.

You need 8 supports for the BB6 so get 4 repeirers and 4 engies.

If i were you i'd use a seaman with High Restore/Repair/Fighter.
I'm not sure but some say "Potential" also has some impact on seaman performance.

AAW does NOT work.

Get at least 6 pilots of any kind for the CV (preferably Fighters o DBs)
5 fighters 3 DBs should work too.

Just keep them as armamanet till 89; this way you can use them as HH gunners till unlocking something with a great AA battery (or even then continue with HHs...)

 

I classed mine at 75ish, now BVE they are pretty good. Depends on the person, some class way past.

 

Honestly, there is no reason to class before 89/yamato, unless you get the PBB.

 

For CV:

Remember, you are limited to 8 pilots. I run my cv 4fp/4db and it works pretty good. I also have 4 low level dbs if i ever want to just mess around...

It depends on what you want to do. 5/3 good for fighter cover, people do use 8/0 for fighter whore. I use 4/4 because i can just do both when the need arises.

I use 4/4 + elite fighter seaman + IJN AA on my CV.

Try getting a +12 ftr for your seaman, if he has +12 ftr and some ++ restore or repair, even better, because it is very hard hitting 900 SD with CV. My cv crew is all lvl~100 and i dont have 900.

You can class them directly to Cheaf DP gunner at lvl 62 and they should do fine with BVE.
However since early IJN BBs have VERY bad AA slots untill Yamato (lvl 89) it's suggested to wait with classing them till you get it.

However if you want to AA before you get to Yamato then you can feel free to class them at lvl 62 since the added crew gain compensates for the ability growth loss.
They will be a bit heavier in the end but it's not a huge gamebreaking ammount that will ruin the entire crew.

Also you might want a seaman with high Repair/Engine/Fighter so you could use it on both CV and BB6

No, they gain much more ability if you leave them as arm sailors, and the crew difference will not make up for it.

by 89 for +11 no boost:

Cheif DP classed at 62 will have 1187 acc and rld

Arm sailor classed to Cheif at 92 will have 1532 acc and rld

 

Point is, the longer you leave them arm gunners, the better it will be later. Its like wine.

Go for the DBs if you're feeling lazy. They're extremely fun in Blitz as almost no one has AA. The auto-DB function will let you have a low risk high reward gameplay for your duration in blitz.

Yeah take DBs and know that you shouldn't auto DB ships while flying from South west since it will most certainly miss.

Also TBs in their current state are nearly useless compared to DBs.

I don't know much about direction, but I know that generally one should DB along the length of the ship.

I've ever missed ships that are completely stationery. I have no idea how that happens.

just a quick update

i now have a lvl 49 bo that can use cv hosho but that one sucks bad so ill grind to cv2

my pilots are lvl 47 all 5 of them currently

 

my second bo is lvl 54 so im 5 lvls away from bb kongo

i currently have 2 1st repair and 2 engine sailors plus a recon pilot lvl 50

gunners are lvl 54 and armenant sailors are lvl 53

 

when i get to the fuso bb i will lvl up a third bo to lvl new repair and engine sailors aswell as some DB pilots

and i find divebombing alot of fun but the exp i get for winning is so small that i get more exp for using guns, credits wise i get alot even when i lose :P
