193 [DOINK] dashtardly Members 926 posts 16,433 battles Report post #1 Posted August 15, 2017 So normally as I progress up the tech tree line I move the captain up from one tier to the next. If I really enjoy the ship I keep it (most are kept) and I back fill with a new captain. Now, with the mission for RN BBs with the blueprints it looks like we could end up with the Tier III, IV, and V in our port but with no captains trained. I have one "unassigned" RN captain (Jack Dunkirk) currently on my Belfast that I could put on the Iron Duke, but I was thinking of keeping him on the cruiser line. What are people doing in preparation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have him on my Edin with plans of moving him all the way up. I think of those three RN BBs Iron Duke is the one I will keep (maybe all of them after I give them a try... we will see) so I am planing on putting a 10pt captain from my reserve on the Duke and just recruiting some 1pointers for the other two. I have a Captain just on my Belfast that I might try out on the Nelson (If i get her) and a 16pt captain on the Warspite that I will use to run up the line past Duke... or maybe put him on the Duke... oh now I don't know either...

Nice - I never bought a Warspite (or a Hood) so I don't have a BB trained captain to move over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack dunkirk's skills seem more suited to RNCLs, so I am retraining my old RNCL commander for RNBBs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,299 [VCRUZ] Xlap Members 4,049 posts 9,180 battles Report post #5 Posted August 15, 2017 I do the same, i move the cpt as i progress into the line. So when i get to high tiers i already have a high tier cpt. If i like the ship i put a new cpt. I have 3 RN cpt, one on my Leander, Hood (14pts) and Jack Dunkirk(11pts). My Leander cpt will stay there. The other two ill use in the BB line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6,840 [RLGN] Estimated_Prophet Members 19,263 posts 35,703 battles Report post #6 Posted August 15, 2017 Doing in preparation? Nothing? Too busy grinding RU destroyers... What will I do? Who knows; doubt I'll move up my original Warspite captain. If I'm understanding what has been said, and we WON'T be given yet more useless zero point captains for the blueprint award ships, that's more important to me. I'll either assign one of the RN captains that have collected and are just lying around drinking Johnny Walker and let him climb the tree, or if I absolutely must, will just recuit someone.

5,206 [PVE] Sovereigndawg Members 12,079 posts 21,321 battles Report post #7 Posted August 15, 2017 In Little White Mouses review she says he can transition to the Nelson with just the smoke that is useless for it. He seems tailored for cl's and dd's mostly though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,562 [SYN] Kapitan_Wuff Members 8,292 posts 14,496 battles Report post #9 Posted August 15, 2017 Damn, @Eric_Von_Hess you already have Jack up at 19pts! You grind him out or have extra commander XP lying around? Mine is almost at 11pt (yes I know he started at 10 I just don't play RNCLs much). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
33 [TOTEN] Enforcer017 Beta Testers 252 posts 7,217 battles Report post #10 Posted August 15, 2017 Since I havent gone up the RN CL line past Caledon, I am going to put Jack in a BB with improved turret traverse and buffed consumable cooldown times. I haven't figured out which one yet though. Probably Bellerophon to have the ultimate seal club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
