Changing my original post, have a game in it and see how you feel the rudder shift is at the moment. Looking on google it appears to be split with people saying rudder shift and others saying damage control due to it bing set on fire all the time.

Well, seems it's a matter of personal playstyle and preference. On one hand Warspite has improved heal and faster reloading Damage Control Party while HP pool is not so big, so Damage Party might help you survive between Repair Parties.
But on another hand it got really tight turning radius for a battleship which allows it to dodge torpedoes and torpedo planes. And you can augment that with faster rudder. But turrets rotate slowly, so you can't dodge everything constantly while also firing in return.

I'd say Damage Control for newer players who are not too good with positioning yet and Rudder shift for others.

Also it has quite good and long secondary guns and main gun range is not too good for its tier, so if you're more into close combat and plan to augment secondary guns - Rudder Shift.

For fourth slot, Steering Gears Modification 2 is your best choice imo. This allows you to avoid damage and will also hasten bringing your guns to bear (main gun traverse isnt very good). You'll be using your rudder for dodging long range shells, aircraft attacks and torpedo salvos. Also makes her tiny turning circle even better :)

As Ryuu says, there is an argument for the DC but its already pretty tough armour wise.

thanks for the replys I might go rudder shift to improve on her strong points I had to ask cuz that upgrade is so costly

Good luck. My experience of playing vs it is that its pretty good in the right hands. See you out there maybe ;)

I prefer the rudder shift, and the slow turrets arent that bad since they buffed the traverse and if you get expert marksman as your first 2 point skill. If you need some help with her just ask, I have her as my most played T6 bb and love it. She is the Grandest Old Lady.

Accurate guns and maneuverability with hardly any speed drop

I can actually laugh sometimes at torps because i can dodge them so easy the NY and the Fuso was chasing me (don't judge me) I maneuvered around a small island and took out the NY as I was turning the Fuso ran into the island before I know it I was facing him broadside and got a citadel. The other is the VERY small dispersion of main guns.

Warspite sucks :(
~1200 damage every 30 seconds and gets melted faster than destroyers

You needed to necro an 18 month old post to say that?
