Alright, so right now I'm in the RN Queen Elizabeth BB 7. The next ship I'm in line for is the infamous Hood. I'm trying to understand what my best option is. Normally, I'd move right along to the next BB tier but I've heard that some people simply try to bypass Hood by mastering the QE and going straight to the Nelson. Without premium, does this option make sense or will it take a serisouly long time?

On paper, the Hood is stronger, better guns, armor, I beleive it is also faster but only slightly. AA doesn't seem to be quite as good. It is however a massive ship which concerns me and I'm not sure how good its turning radius is. Do you guys recomend playing past it or playing with it?

Also, has there been any new information on how the gunners should be classed. Right now I have all but 1 gunner into accuracy and 1 into reload.
