When you start to lose speed, that is when you start sinking. Adding bulkhead allows you to stay afloat for longer. Does not affect amount of damage taken. I once put something like 200 bulk in my Sirius and even at around one thousand DP, I was still rolling at full speed.

Thanks for the input guys, I'm around level 22 now I think...

Trying to rank up a Jap and German B.O. at the same time.

How about the Z31's upgrades, Z46 or Z51... Identical except for turret placement right? I assume one is for the player who's a [i]charger[/i] and one for who's a [i]runner[/i] ?

I used 5.9" dual with heavy ammo (I think) on the front gun, and 2 I think 3.46" duals with light ammo on the back. Range was the same, and it worked for me.

It isn't. Don't bother with the Z31 until around level 22/23 for Z42/Z52 or whatsuch. Z42/Z52 are both very capable remodels.

Not only your damage per second will be lower with Z31, it's actually harder to hit with what will add up to around 2 dual mounts (if attempting to use 5.9" guns).

I personally just used the Z1 > D38 > z99 Route. Feel free to actually skip the Z31 unless you're running out of Displacement.

Yeah, historically, Z31 had a dual gun in front, and singles in the back. I'm not sure of their range though, whether it matches up. Since I'm a high-angle addict, I stay with the Z1, for its 4.1".

:roll_eyes: I gotta stop my wife from clearing my cookies all the time... sorry

I'm plugging along in 3 ships right now and on my German Navy I have the Z1. I'm one BO lvl from getting a Z31 but the question is do I need or want it? The Z1 with 5 dual 4.1s is pretty fun when I do my part but what's with the weird gun spacing on the Z31? Front turret of [b]81 space[/b] and rear turrets (3x) at [b]51 space[/b] How can that be paired up and have all turrets group? I'm assuming they expect you to mount a larger gun on the front turret?

I'm not convinced that the Z31 is better but I'd like some input.

Thanks,
