O Project II '42. Hands down.

The regular O Pro II is more than a match for the Andrea Doria and this EBB is better than the BB3 is every single way other than it uses the same guns.

It is faster, has more ammo, more displacement, more DP, more scout space, extra crew slot and can be driven by a BO of any line.

Agreed. The doria is a fun ship to play but the EBB3 is way better. Especially, as you lvl your crews you wont suffer as much exp loss as you would in the lvl 65 doria. The OP3 can run extremely fast with good engies and packs a ton of shell damage, in KM terms. Both are fun, but remember there arent many oppourtunities to get the EBB3 whereas it is easy to get the PBB anytime.

I have the AD. IMO the OPro II 42:

-Hits harder
-Moves faster
-Is more accurate (near block shots with th 14.96"o at higher levels)
-Has better AA
-And 7/10 survives longer.

The OPro II 42 DOES NOT have:
-The AD's submergence
-The AD's small hitbox
-Or the AD's haxor turning force

That being said if I had to choose I'd pick the OPro II 1942 any day over the Andrea Doria.
And the OPro II 42 still comes close to playing the KM style though you'll be much slower
once you hit H39.

All right. Thanks everybody for helping me out :). Looks like I'm getting the EBB3 :P.

Basically, if your crew is below level 80... the Andrea Doria is better to grind with. However, it's a Lv65 ship so your crew is going to be getting into the area where they get a heavy EXP penalty.

The O Pro II 42 is Lv78 so you can use it all the way to the H39 with 100% EXP and halfway to H44 with 93% EXP if you wanted.

Is AD a PBB in the coin system?
because i know now that EBB3 i op3
