DescriptionStick with HE unless a cruiser gives broadside and within 10km. AP on UK CA is inconsistent at range. As for positioning, sit somewhere in between both caps (domination) or sit mid (standard) to get best results. Angle accordingly to BB crossfire and mitigate the amount of times you're full-stopping. No prop-mod on UK CA can be devastating if caught out of position.
