hi, i'm considering to start a bb crew, and was wondering the different crew for monty, bb5, and the pros n cons.
I would like to seek experienced bb users' comments and opinions.
Monty (8 support slots)
1 bo
1scout- i asumme bb all need scout, but do correct me if im wrong
2 main gunners
2 rld/rld/rld gunners to function as aa gunners
3rep
4eng
and do i need restore? or can i max sd without restore?
is this a decent crew setup? I had asked around in game and was told that i should have 5 eng, but im worried my repair rate will be too low/slow with only 2 reps

anyways, your setup depends on how you play in game. no one can really tell you what you "should" do.
if you get hit a lot, then yes you should get more reps
if you dont, then get more eng,
if you can aa well while still being helpful in the front line, then yes keep the rld gunners
any setup with at least 4 eng is good enough

Re-read his original post. NO RESTORE! BB caps SD easily without it. While you are at it, level an extra engy or rep, and you can use the nebby when you get there. When people suggest 5 engy, they mean 5/3, thinking you are going till nebby. 4/4 and 5/3 are both decent support setup for AA-using players. One gives slightly less OH time and a slightly harder time to speedcap (not much mind you) but you do have a nice increase in rep rate going 4 rep rather than three. All BB do need scouts. Glad to see you understood that one. Exception to it is UK Nelson that doesnt have scout space.

With a BB your end goal should be 14 sailors for your BB6
1 BO
2 Main gunners
(2 AA gunners optional but i dont use them on my Nebraska)
1 Scout
Now without AA gunners that leaves you 10 support sailors (2 on ship and 8 on the dock)
I run 4 engineers and 6 repairers on my nebraska
I would recommend AT LEAST 4 engineers, if not 5
restorer is unnecessary because your repairers alone will get you to 900SD
So just play around and plan out how you want to set up your sailors, but remember you cant use engineers in the T slots, and you need 14 sailors to take the BB6 out

I reccommend for the Iowa/Monty
Bo
2 Gunners (Main)
5 Engys
3 Reps (Iowa)
4 Reps (Montana)
1 Scout
After you reach BB5 and you engys are in the 100s go back and level your AA gunners up. You'll need the extra 2 knots from not using AA in the Iowa. Monty doesn't lose speed putting AA on.
@ 120 you would need another Rep or Engy (Or just level your AA gunners)(I'd pick and engy since if you get 150 vets on 4 reps to get like 250-280 dp/s rep, the extra 30 seconds of OH is worth it) I suggest both, have a full BB6 crew without AA so you can switch as you please and get the maximum results.
Restores become usless around lvl 90. If you use AA gunners around lvl 98. You'll SD Cap @ 900 SD with just at level supports around those levels.
As soon as I get my Midway and Class my APA BO I'll have every US Ship, I currently have every US DD, non APA CLs, CAs, PCL, PCA, PBB, PCV, CV1-3, All 4 US BB lines, EBB1-3, SS1-4 (Its 9 levels short of SS5 level so I'll level that up some more later) If they'd stop adding ships I've have the entire US nation on 1 account.

4 reps? Bro 3 is enough. I'd prefer 1 scout 4 engys 3 reps nebby can be 1 scout 5 engy 3 rep OR 1 scout 4 engy 4 rep

Read his post again. His suggestion is for Nebby crew without AA. As you have to put something 115+ in the slots you'll want 2 reps for that.
