Propulsions DO improve power to weight ratio , which facilitate faster acceleration , better turning and better speed during a turn as well as reducing speed bleed impact during a hard turn. It is more than just boosting your maximum top speed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides you need that one to turn the ship into Elite. But even then what value is there in it? Get to the KGV and either sell the QE or leave it sitting in port. The NM, Bayern or Fuso are better ships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

193 [ANZAC] j0e90 Member 531 posts 20,194 battles Report post #8 Posted January 21, 2018 the improved rudder shift, which is a big thing. I think the rudder shift is a 30% improvement. 5k exp is only 2/3 decent games over a weekend. Over the course of the grind to kgv you will notice the speed and improved rudder shift Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found the guns a bit odd also. Definitely different feel to the Warspite guns. The Queen Liz is a bit of a nerfed Warspite in some ways and seeing as I already had the better Warspite prem ship anyway, I passed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

94 [911] Moldavia Member 367 posts 10,364 battles Report post #17 Posted January 21, 2018 Having got the NM and QE in the New Year campaign, I've been grinding the stock ships in the Killer Whale scenario (alternating each ship while the other is in cooldown) to do their basic upgrades. I hate slow bbs, so the first upgrades were to the engines - they're still not too quick, but the QE is a couple of knots faster than NM which makes quite a difference to what you can do in this scenario. The stock guns are fairly short ranged too, so 2nd upgrade was to fix that - again, I much prefer the QE as its guns seem much more accurate (even against the stationary forts - the NM often misses completely even with 12 rifles) and they hit harder and reload more than 4sec faster. I haven't tried them in random yet, but this alternating upgarde process is a good way to compare them and, for me, the QE seems a much more pleasant ship than the NM.

As others pointed out, you need to research all modules to make her Elite. Is that really only 5k XP? As most operations are T6, you could just play a game or two in operations and earn the XP to upgrade the engine. I guess you could have done the entire T6 grind in operations?

I pretty much said this earlier. The speed is not the biggest , it's the rudder shift time. Stock rudder shift 20 sec. With engine upgrade I think it is 14 sec. Even if the engine gave only a 0.1knot boost, that rudder shift buff would be reason enough to upgrade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
