  • Best setup for Hood 1939?

Hi everyone. I just got the Hood 1939 from the event and I'd like to know the best gun setup (and any extra info you can give me)...

-I initially put the x4 14"/45 Mark III (lvl 77) on the Hood, but it was far too heavy.

I had less than 500 tons of displacement left after loading my sailors (although I love the idea of having 16 14" shells firing at once!)

-Then I tried the x3 16"/45 Mark II L (lvl 81), but it didn't have the range of the 14"

-Next I used the x2 15"/42 cal Mark III (lvl 64). They have the same range as the x4 14", but they don't have nearly as much firepower (damage). Since they fire half as many projectiles.

I just want to know the best setup for this ship. I've seen its potential with the x4 14" and it could be an awesome ship despite it's bad hitbox and turning speed. If there's not a better setup than my current one (x2 15" mark III), then I would hope SDE patches it. The Hood 1939 does not stand up well against other EBBs (with my current configuration). Can anyone offer me some advice?

I don't think you're in position to whine, when people like you complain, and do nothing on the test server.

 

No comment L1 guns on vanny.

I think that I'm in perfect position to complain. 
I spend/wasted 5 weeks of time, including christmas to get new EBB, which is not a GIFT but a prize / profit (earning ), and I didn't even know if she's worth of that. (Yeah. Info about the prize after event's end) 


If I had spent any $ to receive more "New-EShips" I would kill someone. 

SDE can't even make really unique new ships, and balance team can't even make "painted over ships" worth of toil. Even if I had been there, nothing would be changed.


"Hey! They just spent 5 weeks and much $ to get new EBB! Let's we paint over some ships and add them complately ill improvements. They'll be happy!"

I am using the 16"/45 Mk II L with no probem on the EBB Hood, find it has not bad range.

I find that I have to stay back from line and scoot up to shoot, then turn back, it has worked good.

We already know $DE just copy pasta ship sprite and alter the color only but the test team aren't connected with the creation of ebbs...

and the test team aren't under $DE they are just volunteer...

I finally ground up a crew that can drive this after earning it last March. (Yes Yes, not 100% dedicated to this game.)

Anyway I had this thread bookmarked for how I would configure it. I found that the "model" was just too big and the range too short to really benefit from the speed and no armor builds, I was always taking at least one hit that would wreck me. I tried several of Ktosiek's suggestions. But his last line was correct:

"You have to make a choice. Still, unfortunately - too BIG ship with too SHORT range. Pretty, but hard to play."

I settled with dropping one turret and going with 3 trip 16" MKI guns and then stacking a ton of armor on it. .. It's not so bad, I can trade with Lion I's and win, the range is still a little short, but even armored up it's not slow. The 16" shells really pack a punch, the spread isn't too bad.
