you mean trip 16's? Kron can already hold trip 14's (previous ship Izmail's Guns). i thought about getting that EBB but its so close to the stalingrad that i thought it a slight waste personally but hey i went and got the Poltava soo :P

Played a few games with this EBB now, works great, glad I chose it, trip 14's now,lvl 91 can put trip 16's.

I thought it might be a waste also, but it has same DP as Stalingrad regular, so I would say its not a waste at all, you have to be lvl 86 to operate it, will make the grind up that much easier. And in a way saves you using credits for reg Kronshadt and Stalin . 

The Kronshtadt EBB is the only ship that has a gunset all it's own, the lvl 89 12" guns that the stalingrad had are what the EBB kron is supposed to use, it will not be able to mount any ammo with the 16" triples or at least it should not be able to.

It is a good improvement over the regular kron and out of the new EBB's it is the one i picked, it simply was not only wonderful looking but has great gun options that i simply wanted it.

Also the poltava can use the imp guns, it will be a bit slower than regular izmail but still it gets imp guns :P.  You will still need to buy the stalingrad sorry to say but if you just use your kron to bb5 thats fine too, great EBB.

Not quite right.

Poltava can carry the 3x14"; Izmail 1916 can carry the IM 3x12".

If you're using BB2 guns on a superior BB3 hull with space for special guns, please tell me why.

well, can not use the trip 16's ,will not be able to load ammo for them, but 14's will do the job

well, I have found after using this ship that mounting the 1948 12" trip are the best guns for this ship so far.

It is genuinely physically painful to read some of these posts.

The BB II Heavy is the correct engine.
