Brit pre dreads are a good choice. The Lord Nelson can be given the 5.25s from the Dido class, making it especially lethal against smaller targets. And of course the HMS Dreadnought herself is awesome, well armed and armored, and capable of 20 knots even with an extra full load of armor.

Also, if possible, wait to get the Revenge class until you are level 35, then you can get the longer range guns, which are crucial for the class.

Anyways, my current line of advancement is:

A Revenge destined to become a Lion. (Defiant)

A County class destined for the Renown line, which I'll probably stop at the Admiral class if possible. (Reliant, probably gonna rename to HMS Anson for the Admiral or QE class)

A Florida class bound for the Montana class. (Arizona, Formerly Tuscon)

A Brooklyn class bound to be either another Montana or an Iowa. (San Diego, will be renamed California when I get to the Nevada)

A Dido that is either going to become a sub, or go down the other Brit cruiser line to become a second Lion class. I plan to keep her as a Dido for a while though, as the 5.25" guns in staggered fire is quite fun to use. (Intrepid, formerly Nomad)

An American destroyer that will go down the Atlanta line eventually, and on to, idk yet. Mainly around for when my other ships are all repairing. (Robt Hogan)

And finally, an Amazon class for essentially the same job, but for when I want a Brit armored DD. I may just keep this one as a destroyer, as Brit DDs are really fun. (Newkirk)
