Best BB tier X and V only

[S_h_i_v_a]

T5 Kongo has the speed and range of a T7 Gneisenau - 29 - while all others have 20 speed.

It has 21 range, where the others have max 18.

And pretty good guns too let us not forget. Even if they can be frustratingly inconsistent at times.

The best BB T5 and probably the best in the whole game -Oklahoma

Thanks for awnser everyone 

T5:

 

1) Pyotr Veliki by a comfy margin probly

2) Guilio Cesare - although not available any more 

3) Kongo - great guns, fast, well enough protected - just inconsistent at times

4) I love König as well but the other 3 are clearly superior 

5) the others are rather meh  (Texas/New York, Bretagne, Iron Duck). And Oklahoma ist straight bad

At tier 5, Guilio Cesare, although it is not really available now. A highly effective armor scheme and capable armament allow it to excel in many areas and its parameters are more closely comparable to a tier 6.

The russian Pyotr Velikiy is also a very strong ship that has some of the best characteristics at its tier, combining a hull of mostly german design and influence with russian guns making it overall very capable.

 

At tier 10, ships are more diverse and it is harder to pinpoint a particularly outstanding BB.

• Thunderer and Ohio both have quite powerful main guns that provide 30mm overmatch and very high shell damage, Thunderer features excellent accuracy and concealment but its protection is poor, Ohio has workable secondaries and well rounded survivability and US secondary BBs maintain their main battery accuracy, but it has poor maneuverability and speed.
• GK and Kremlin both have excellent armor, HE shells with less than 50mm of penetration can struggle to cause raw damage to either and the turtleback armor scheme of GK and thickness of Kremlins belt protect the citadels of both ships quite well while both having best-in-class HP. Kremlin also features limited but fast reloading damage control for increased survivability and also has guns that are good in all respects except long range accuracy, but its range, concealment and mobility are poor. GK has very good secondaries and one of the highest salvo alphas in the game and access to hydroacoustic search, but its gun angles are restrictive, its range is short and its maneuverability is poor.
• Bourgogne has some of the best mobility of any tier 10 BB with a +15% speed engine boost and utilising a powerful combination of 12 guns with access to main battery reload booster, effective for using AP to punish broadsides or to stick fires on a target who just used damage control. However, the ship costs steel to obtain, has some of the worst protection of any t10 BB with the least health, and the guns are only 380mm calibre, preventing AP overmatching on 27mm and 30mm armor and limiting what is otherwise relatively good AP performance.

But all T10 BBs have their strengths, I didn't mention ships like Yamato or Shikishima who can overmatch 32mm plating common on most high tier BBs, or Slava who has most likely the best overall BB gun performance in the game, what usually defines which one is better are the other ships succeeding in the meta. In a meta full of ships with vulnerable broadsides, unovermatchable plating or 30mm plating then ships with powerful 457mm guns like Thunderer, Ohio and Kremlin are rated quite highly.

I would also say the player defines what is a good ship for them. Some people hate GK, because it's a brawler....and they like to sit in the back (or they lack the experience to brawl successfully to make it work). Others may hate the french battleships, because they can't take the punishment like some other bb's can, but don't realise it's potential as a flanking battleship with it's high speed and brilliant accuraccy. If you are a experienced player, you usually don't have a problem to use the ships strenghts....but for inexperienced players (first tier 10 battleship, or 2nd one), they tend to do their thing no matter what (and that's where the GK in the very back suddenly arrives with full health in the end of the match, when he is the last player alive on his team :P ).

Repu and JB have 2.0 sigma. Chapagne has improved accuracy parameters. Gascogne has 1.9 sigma.

 

Everything else ranges from 1.5 sigma (Normandie, Lyon) to 1.8 sigma (Bretagne, Richelieu, Bourgogne). On average, the French BBs even have 1.78 sigma, below the 1.8 average.

 

Also worst base dispersion. French BBs atm are on average the most inaccurate BBs in the game.
