Did you transit from Pow or Nelson to Vanguard by anychance?

Food Hood. But i got both Nelson and hood now played. Not PoW line yet. I just feel that im worse in firepower speed and Turning compared to others. Only thing i got is my Lazor fast guns. Thou they arent great afterall.

Ah then I can't really help you.
Vanguard start to become good, once your crew becomes good.

And when I say it becomes good, expect in the 100+ us lucky else 110+.

The vanguard the way it is now seems to play best like a KM ship , very defensively. Kiting the enemy and such. That's the best advice I can give for the thing, other then that good luck.

In short, you cannot really succeed in the Vanguard. L1 > Vanguard

As others have said, the Vanguard plays like a KM ship, which means it has minimal margin for error and needs both a good crew and skilled driver to run effectively. Your best bet is to let the enemy come to you, then fire and run, hoping they chase. If they don't, move back just out of their range and try to entice them to rush again. Otherwise, only move in when you know ALL nearby opponents are either blind or distracted - you don't have the firepower or accuracy to chase them down effectively. Most importantly, never get into a slugging match if you can avoid one.

But again, most of this comes from skill and experience: knowing when to do attack, when to run, knowing your angles, and husbanding your overheat for when its really needed. This is very different from the "F" -> "space" style of most other UK ships.

Vanny could use a bit more dmg I think, but by no means its a weak ship. Just use its agility, wiggle and kill ;)

vanny's 15" and a little of km game style would be fine :)

How many engineers do you have?
Is your Sd 900?
Are you more skillfull with rushing and hitting? or do you like to play secure?

If you rush into three or two bb's while there is enemy plane on you, you can't make it.
You must have sufficent engineers to let you rush in and run away.

why sd should be 900?
if you are badly hit you need to recover soon? So you need sd and good repairman to take you back to action.

Check the enemy bb's speed before rushing in. if it'S going around 39-40-42 it'S more possible for them to run back when you rush to them. You can never catch them. if they have 35knts, 37knts .. you have more chanse to make some xp.

Normaly vanny guns are lvl91 15 inch, sometimes i use triple 4x16's that way you can kill any ship of your class with one shot or two shots while you suffer alittle with lack of range.
