Was there a reason to be posting stuff that is already publicly avalible, I don't know, through the Game Info portal were most people would look before they even tried the forum?

okay,

so instead of being a simple list that everyone can access, why dont we turn this into a list of recommended set ups and play styles for each EBB/CV and PBB/CV.
for example:
EBB(77) Maryland: Use SoDak guns with light ammo, and play it like a short range montana, with slingshotting and hit and run tactics.
or
EBB(60) New York: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFIIIIICTORY RUSH!

you catch my drift.

i say this because there are so many posts about each EBB, so why not put all the info on one post.
we can post our strategy ideas and OP can make the necessary edits.

so how am i meant to be playing the mississippi? ive searched but i only hear how bad it was :(

Do i use the EBB NY Laser guns :O or the 16 Duals?? 

Omaha: Decent fast ship, can be armored in blitz, can sorta AA with the 3" 70s. Use 6" or 7" singles if using for HE only. However if your playing your first time through USN, use the DDX.

Texas: Like every PCL in this game, completely inaccurate historical ship with Tier 3 CA Guns thrown in its general direction. Most of the player base got the original 4 nation ECLs for free a few years ago in an event, essentially useless nowadays. 

Pensacola: Weak due to only having 2 Alaska Trips. Range is poor, best used for AA on the T slots, recommend 3" 70s or the 3" 38 Cal Mark 38 Ds. Fast.

Sevastopol: Russian Dreadnaught, the forward turrets being 1 and 3 and the rear being 2 and 4 make this things spread completely stupid. Does hit decently hard for 12" guns and is a great alternative to the Alaska line, as well as having BB4 support slots in the 60s.

New York: Unique ship, use the 14" duals that come with it, T slots are useless. This ship hits like pillows, but you can really piss off an AWed QV with this thing, especially if they can't aim below angle 25 worth shit. Ship is too slow at 37 knots and lacks displacement for fitting 120 crews properally on it.

Mississippi: Esentially a New Mexico that plays like a Colorado. If it worked on the Colorado, it'll work on the Mississippi.

Maryland: Play like the Mini-Monty setup that Colorado had, except with Mark 3 Ls instead of Ds.

Indiana: Piece of Crap, essentially a slower Sodak. Avoid unless your getting it just to collect it. Seriously, avoid. Did I say avoid? I meant stay away if you want to keep your sanity.

Washington: Essentially a North Carolina hull with Iowa guns and an extra support slot. Great leveling ship. Replaced the Missouri as the EBB4

Missouri: What can I say, 2 knot slower Iowa with Montana guns. Hits harder, more range, 7 same support slots. Same hitbox quirks as the Iowa had. Great firing arc. All around, decent ship.

California: What can I say? This thing is a beast with duals in the right hands. For those who can't aim and use the Trips (and miss just as bad), I feel sorry for you. If you have the medals for it and already have the Shinano and the Proletariat, this is the ship to get.

Belleauwood: Essentially the Yorktown in the Independance hull, 5 level early. Much better off power grinding your BO to 65.

Enterprise: Essentially an Essex at Yorktown level. Great alternative as you can an extra plane launch and pilot. Definitely recommend if level a USN CV from scratch, suggest power leveling to 65 and skipping the lower tier CVs however.

Ticonderoga: Like all the PCVs, a step up from CV5s but just below CV6s.

All the PCVs are great for leveling that last 15 or so levels and I again, recommend if leveling a higher level USN CV.
