I leveled through the bb1 revenge and renown lines in renown and resolution and the Mark II spread is rediculouslly bad. even with better damage you land half the shells be patient and use the longer reload for range and waaaay better spread. test them yourself i used EBVE gunners and it was still bad. oh and when you get to Mark III N use them all the way to 16" Mark I L then Mark III L. Avoid the Mark II altoghether. Research the guns in forums this is a great spread shot also http://navyfield.com/Community/Forum/View.aspx?num=7676&searchtype=1&pagecount=0&searchvalue=richard&sort=5&category=A02&page1=1 Richardphat has done some great work on the forums
