574 Bex_o7 Member 745 posts 19,634 battles Report post #4 Posted September 30, 2019 Use AP on your tier VI but the rest do better with HE, for the most part. I’d recommend taking Expert Loader as you will get opportunities to take good AP shots because people just assume you’re locked into using HE. It probably goes without saying, but angling is still important, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
206 [LGND] Gesterbein Member 542 posts 12,984 battles Report post #5 Posted September 30, 2019 T 6 : use your AP and HE depends situation.... vs cruiser use AP T7 : your HE more superior than your AP, but still use AP when facing cruiser unless you facing high tier USN CA or German CA T8: same like T6 but now you need careful when positioning yourself... T9 and T10 : use HE more often and as always careful your positioning... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,817 [151ST] S4pp3R Member 2,949 posts 11,039 battles Report post #7 Posted September 30, 2019 RN BBs simply aren't as tanky as other lines but angling is still key, the issue is that your rear turret angles as you go up the tiers are poor, so only use your rear gun inbetween enemy salvos. You will eat pens even when angled. I would suggest CE before FP for your 10 points as most have pretty good concealment and you can use that to escape, keep an eye on your positioning though as a DD spotting you will cause you to be focused. Otherwise read the shell type suggestions above, they are on point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
