Hello! I've been weighing the placement for cannons in my Kongo-class Battlecruiser (Hiei) and I've generally come down to two setups I like. However, I don't have much experience with 24sec ships so I decided to get some other ideas/opinions. (Building for MWC fast-gun of course) Idea 1) 75rnd pointed directly aft out of 'Y' 50rnd haymaker in 'X' 50rnd chase/sidemount in 'B' Idea 2) 50rnd haymaker in 'Y' 50rnd haymaker in 'X' 75rnd bow gun, angle 10-12 degs off center in 'B' Thoughts? Opinions?
I'm with Bob on that one. Sidemount to the Y, dual sterns in X. Use that speed to stay ahead and don't expose your flank while you sidemount them!
Isn't Kongo long enought to get 3 sidemounts? If you are a sidemount expert, like someone we all know that has a 3 sidemounted Hurana, put the 75 in Y 50 in X and 50 in A all sidemounted. If you are really crazy make the A rotate. If you're not a sidemount expert go twin 50s (Straight or 15deg of center) in Y and 75 in X. A Kirisima we all know has done a lot of samage with this set up. The KEY here is to pick one, get lots of stick time and learn your guns.
3 Sidemounts are allowed, oh snap! I wouldn't call myself a sidemount expert but I do seem to be more effective with them than my stern guns on Fuso. Dang, now I have more options. Wait, that's a good thing! BANZAI!
Well I think I'm going to stick with a 50 stern gun, 75 haymaker, 50 bow sidemount. It's how Hindenburg was set up and how Fuso was until after nats2007 so I think I'll stay with what works.
