New Mexico Upgrades ?? Thoughts / suggestions?

[anonym_muEJEDJoF5Zk]

Good evenin all..

I am hoping to get some opinions on the New Mexico upgrades as offered to me.

I am considering taking the following.  Please feel free to offer differing opinions as I have only been playing for a few weeks now.

1) Magazine Modification 1 -  -70% to Magazine Detonation

2) Artillery Plotting Room - Range increases and less dispersion on secondary

3) Damage Control Mod 1 - -% to flood and Fire.. and less damage taken from Torpedo protection hits

4) Steering Gears Modification 2 - -20% rudder shift time

 

Again, being new, I am open to all opinions (I prefer with explanations so I can learn)

 

Thanks for your time and knowledge!

1)MAM1 for the first slot. Mag Mod is something I would only think about for DDs and even then... probably not gonna use it. Detonations are not a big deal for BBs

2) APR seems good if just for the range,

3)DCS 1 s really the only choice

4) DCS 2 is what I would pick, putting out fires faster is more important for a BB than the rudder shift IMO. Fire management is important for BBs.

Solid Tanker Build..... Manage your Damage Party and Repairs wisely and Fires are not a big issue.... the Rudder Shift Upgrade makes her a bit nimble and capable of turning within opposition reloads (BB's) times.

This build has carried my 'Mexico to a 60% win rate... ( Random )

 

Upgrades:

MAM1

APRM1

DCSM1

DCS 2  - was changed from Rudder shift after reading the comments by LWM via Umikami and some co-op testing

thank you, both of you.

An alternative for a second T2 skill might be Adrenaline Rush, getting a 27-28 second main battery reload at lower heath totals seems inviting as well.

and @LittleWhiteMouse agrees with him. She and I had a Forum discussion on just that topic:

read on and you see where she explains why DCS2 is preferable to SGM2
