  • Ability caps

I have a quick question regarding Elite, Boosted and/or super-vet crew.

Can any crew reach the ability cap eventually? For example, at what lvl would 11/11 gunners with 100 vets 400 experts hit acc or reload caps?

Is BVE simply a way to hit the cap quicker and does the cap mean all sailors will catch up? Or is it impossible to cap unless you boost?

Thanks

EDIT: On a side note, is ability cap indicated by the length of the white bar next to the skill? When the bar reaches the edge of the screen, are you capped?

For gunners they are fairly easy to cap.
Yes, BVE is a shortcut, but you can reach the cap without boosting.

For supports, debateable..

yes, i think any base can reach cap but not on the same level, number of vets and expert, with your example 11/11 gunners with 100 vets 400 experts, i think it will reach cap at 90-100 (for KM/MN) or (for more accurate try looking adelbert's guides on ability in old data of tips and tactics)...

you could reach cap without boosting but you need high number of vets and reach cap late than than that of boosted one

With the exception of RN gunners and RN, IJN and US AA gunners which are NOT easy to cap in both Acc and Reload.

RN 12/10 Acc gunners, 120 vets and boosted at level 120 still have not hit the reload cap (just) and classed on time AA for these nations will never hit either cap.

So if you intend to cap RN Acc gunners, make sure thay are 11/13 and well over vetted if you don't intend boosting.

And no, the bar has no refernce to ability caps, as you need to look up Adelbert's guide to True Ability to see where caps are.

Going UK accuracy is like asking " I don't want to reach the cap" right from starting.
Or shooting a bullet at your feet and trying to race against runner.

Nowadays, we try our best to tell the newbie to avoid accuracy gunners. Unless, they didn't want to hear our tips.

Else, than that, I didn't think he would be talking about delay aa. Frankly, BBs with aa nowadays is in extinction over my server.

Hi and thanks for all the replies.

I would like to think I play quite casually so I am not that concerned about actually reaching the cap. If I can be at about 90% to 95% of cap I will be happy and the way things are going with event drops it seems that's where I will be.

I play IJN and SN at the moment so with SN there are no issues at all with classing gunners, no acc vs. reload and no AA class to worry about. I did class my IJN second pair as AA though so it sounds like that was a mistake, but with my crappy T slots I don't need AA yet anyway.

Overall I am just glad to hear that the "pay to win" culture isn't as overwhelming as I expected (from experience in other "free" MMOs) and that it makes a smaller difference at higher level.

There has been a decline of AA on BBs but wouldn't call it an extinction. Really just more AA boats that BBs don't have to AA as much.

aiaa
where can we find the cap ability value of the sailors?
such as, how much true ability for a KM AA gunner's reload is cap?
