227 devastator5000 Members 1,719 posts 4,106 battles Report post #1 Posted July 28, 2016 I'm nearing the 5 point skill for my USN BB captain I expect him to have it around Colorado if not on my NM. I currently have BFT, Expert Marksmen, Superintendent, and AFT, I plan on getting Manual Fire for Secondaries and then BoS for the 16th point. So my question is what should I have for my 5th skill? I'm thinking of Manual Fire Control for the secondaries especially since USN BBs get decent secondaries from T8 on, or should I go for Concealment Expert and get a reduction in spotting distance?

My Iowa has a 12.2km detection range. It's pretty useful. You can fire on guys who are like 14-15km away, score reliable hits, and in a few seconds, you get to be the magical disappearing battleship Iowa. It also lets you ambush other battleships. You can hold your shots, and wait for them to present broadsides, then nail them for 13,500 damage citadel hits. Much more usefull than manual secondaries. *EDIT* For the record, my Iowa is full concealment build, with Concealment Expert on captain, Concealment Module, and Concealment buffing paint.

729 X15 Alpha Tester 2,162 posts 6,770 battles Report post #5 Posted July 28, 2016 Concealment expert is, as stated, probably the best option. You can also get Manual AA and hunt for clear skies in the top 3 US BBs. All of which can reach over 100 AA rating. Also as stated, you could respec for a CV and get air supremacy just to be that guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should get Air Supremacy Already have a 5 point CV captain thx, Yeah I could go for Manual AA but would rather be the BB that disapears after taking half your health. (Maybe will train an atlanta captain in that and switch him out on the NC/Iowa from time to time) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went this route: 15 points: Rank 1: Basics of Survivability, Basic Fire Training Rank 2: Fire Prevention Rank 3: Vigilance Rank 4: Advanced Firing Training , Manual Fire Control for AA. Rank 5: N/A I'm thinking that when I get # 16 and 17, I will go with Expert Marksmen... or wait for 18th point and pick up superintendent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally for me, if you know how to stay aware of torps in Warships ,your third skill should first be Superintendent as it adds to the survivability of your BBs and vigilance can come in later after you made your first lap around in skill points, but that's just me. The rest for me is pretty much the same, so look at what he did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I enjoy Marksmen for the turret turn buff, BBs can take fire enough to survive, but FP can help in some circumstances Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
