Are there any posts that make suggestions on how to utilize skill point training? I have all USA Battleships to Tier X and 1 USA Tier X Cruiser. I have 2 Fleet Admirals and despite using several configurations that seem sound I still cannot seem to get the damage output balanced with ship defense that I feel is available through my Iowa and Montana. Looking for some suggestions on how to best utilize those 19 skill points. Also, are there plans on increasing the ranks past 19? Have the game developers researched the usage of a Proficiency Skill line where you can choose to take your ship commander on a tangent line of training specializing on specific skill sets?
