So if you put 11" on an Opro it would be equal range...

The pricw you pay for being untouchable.

bissy is quite good with the trip 11"L.... well against other BB3. what fun it was way back when....

I don't know how Bismarck stacks up against the IM, but back in the day before the commies came out, and after Vanguard was made a BB4, it was hands down the best BB3. You could see why whenever there was a BB3 event or BB room, the player with the most attack 9 times out of 10 would be in a Bismarck.

Although I have never played an at lv bizzy [started with O line] With decent [not amasing] crew its fun...with BB 5 crew its almos invincleble [sorta] perfict spread means I hit every time I aim [wich happens less than I am willing to admit.] I am confadent going up agenst most at lv bb 4s in it. I also Rush BB 5s with some sucess. [dosn't work with bb 6 unless you have back up]. as far as the range goes. Biz has more range in GB setup. [O II is still my fav ship]

This bissy/opro thing is just like the L1/vanny relationship. While the L1 has a larger gun space, and CAN mount the vanny guns, it has one less turret. Bissy with 8 shells has the same range as the opro with 6 shells. The bissy out ranges the opro when using the trips, but the opro has 9 shells to the bissy's 8. I'm not sure what part of that is so hard to wrap your head around.
