since the Guam is first of all a bb1.5, and second it is a Battle cruiser, use the Dual 14" L version guns, this will give you range, better speed, and a better chance to survive battles :)
REMEMBER: ALWAYS USE LIGHT HE

PS: I went through this grind as well, it might be painful, but go for the Colorado, it is a great BB2, the New Mexico is ok, but not nearly as good as the Colorado.

Dual 14" mk9 L and triples mk10 weren't made for the guam. They are for neveda and pre-remod BB2s.

Simply, their damage per shell is lesser than the 12" mk8 L. So either have crap CL range with the 3x14" mk10 Ds, still less firepower or less firepower than the front guns of a correctly equipped Guam with the 2x14" mk9 Ls. And the exact same range.

Guam is hardly BB1.5... 1939 mods should be 1.5 if their 1940s are BB2. Guam is barely a BB1 with Alaska being BB0.5

If you compare range to the other nations and damage per salvo (If you can even land 3 shells lol)

Alaska=BB0.2
Guam=BB0.6
Nevada=BB0.8

You cant consider at level crews normpearii. Damage per salvo is excellent with usn 12" and if you have good gunners they nearly block. You are ranged by UK/KM at the BB1 stage but you still range ijn. Damage is better then IJN/KM and you are fastest in Guam. I'm really not sure about the new nations though since low tiered BB rooms are not something people play anymore so I havent really faced them in any BB1 v BB1 situations.

Alaska is no BB0.2

Alaska is a BC, so play it like a PCA with decent armor for pete's sake!
(Those PCAs can take only 1 salvo or even only 2 shells before your sitting on the bottom with a newspaper and a lawnchair)
(Atleast the BC can take a salvo or two before it starts to weaken)

Alaska = BC1
Guam = BC2
Nevada = BB1
NM = BB1

I love doing 1 on 1s with various ships and I can tell you that in a Nevada vs Guam(me) match I had to OH almost constantly and weave like nuts to even have a chance while I was nuking his scouts.

After 10 minutes I had only managed to get him down to 5k health before I was crippled and sunk.
I even had far better spread and the 12"s with LHE, but he outranged me easily
