They might shot at you, but with present day aiming they tend to miss targets doing 47 kts.

47 knots AWed?? yikes :P

Yep. Not levelling two BOs so that your gunners and supports are higher level than him.

I'm not name calling, it's a common problem on BB lines of all nations.

I was pretty frustrated when I made that post, but this still is a point of fustrstion for me. If leveling 2 BOs is required in order to run the guns at the same time you get the ship (which takes twice as long), why not just make it a little easier on the players and give you the guns the same time they give you the ship? In the time it takes to level 2BOs to 72, you could level 1 to 120 and be rolling a bb6. I just think that leveling another BO of the same nation should be an option, not a requirement.

Fail.

Levelling 2 BO's is also about keeping your support levels up near your BO's levels. Gunner level being above your BO level is a requirement though for anyone that wants to do more than gamble and/or leech, since gun spread with at level gunners is bad for almost all guns. So guns coming at the same level as a ship wouldn't help at all.
Also level 1-72 isn't past halfway to 120, it's not even 25% to 120. Xp wise about lvl 105 is the halfway mark to 120.

to me, i think its nice to have 2 BO's to those nations who have multiple lines on bbs, its not just for leveling supports, its for the diversity of player what ship to play if he got bored on the line he chooses
(e.g. a player plays POW for a couple game got bored of POW, getting a NELSON for the next couple game or vice versa)

for supports leveling, danita and the others is right, in order to keep your support easy to level and avoiding huge gap of level below your BOs

Right back atcha. For one, we're talking specifically about the KGV 14" guns (hence the reason this is in a thread called "KGV Setup") which can block at level with good gunners. I agree that the spread on most guns isn't all that great at level, but these guns are an exception to that rule. Why make you wait 3 levels when the guns work the same at level as they do when your gunners are higher level? i imagine you are right more right than i am about the halfway point to 120. Ive never actually leveled to 120. It was wrong of me to bring up something I wasnt 100% sure about, but I was assuming that the boost in xp per game for being in a bigger boat and doing more damage would cut into the actual time it takes to level. I know it would take forever to gain a level if everyone earned the same amount of xp in a bb as they did in a dd, but that definately isn't the case.
