Benson Upgrades/Modules???

[pmgaudio]

 

What UPGRADE modules do you use>?

Gun mod 1 is a good start. but do you choose gun acc? Or Torp mod 2?

Dmg cntrl mod 1? Steering gears mod 1?

steering

gears mod 2?

obviously Concealment..

What to use, what to use.....  running low on credits now that I bought it... the new ptch makes me want it more than the Amagi, so the Amagi will have to wait another 10 Mil cred....

I got steering gears 2, it really helps. The Benson turns pretty slowly, and it's sometimes hard to dodge torps.

Definitely get the gun accuracy. It really helps you not land shots on either side of those narrow DDs. And the rudder shift mod, for sure. But get concealment before all else.

does anyone know the detection range increase when firing??

concealment module give 6.6 km det range...Mk8 mod 2 give 11.6 KM firing range... ATF adds 20% to that...around 13 KM...(still 2 skill points needed for that yet)
So invisi-firing might be an option as well as stealthy torps....

Not sure of the new change, but it used to be 3.5km added to detection on firing, but with the new change to firing detection I am not sure anymore.

You can invisifire without AFT, just AFT gives you a wider window. Firing adds 3.8km to your detection rating IIRC, So with the stealth module, you will have about 1km window to fire at with MK8 Mod 2, 10.4km dection and 11.6km range.

I prefer the Propulsion Mod 2 because I believe getting to speed is more important, especially when you combine it with Sierra Mike, but its preference at that point.

 

My mods are :

Main Battery Modification 1 -  Really only choice.

AA Guns Modification 2 -  Helpful when facing CVs, Benson is pretty accurate as is.

Propulsion Modification 1 - Being able to keep moving is more important than being able to turn with a dead engine lol

Propulsion Modification 2 - Speed is important

Concealment System Modification 1 - kind of a given.
