Vauxhall Hull Configuration


Modifiers

    Missile Programming Channels: +2

Mounts

Vauxhall Mounts
Vauxhall Mounts

Mounts 1 2 3 4 and 6

These C3 mounts are the main offensive mounts of the Vauxhall; they should consist of either Mk64 Cannons or VLS-2/VLS-3 launchers, depending on the build. Either choice makes the Vauxhall play distinctly differently, don't try to mix and match between them on the same ship.

Mount 5

This C3 mount is the "backpack" mount of the Vauxhall. On gun Vauxhalls, this is where you can safely mount your missile launchers without interfering with the gun battery, or equip various softkill equipment like E70 'Interruption' Jammer, VLS-2 or VLS-1-46. Having a VLS-1 back here on at least one of the light cruisers in your fleet is important because it is the easiest position to illuminate chaff with a E55 'Floodlight' Illuminator from mounts 7 or 8 from.

It does not provide a forward arc for the RF101 'Bullseye' Radar to see through the hull.

Mounts 7 8 9 10

These C1 mounts are used to carry the various utility items and point defense your cruiser formation needs, which should have a RF101 'Bullseye' Radar, several E71 'Blanket' Jammers, a VLS-1-23 Launcher, and a mix of Mk20 'Defender' PDTs or even one or two Mk90 'Aurora' PDTs between them all.

Mounts 7 and 8 are the best mounts for a E55 'Floodlight' Illuminator on a ship that has a VLS-1-46 in mount 5, as it can easily point backwards at it.

Compartments

The Nose Stack

Vauxhall Nose Stack
Vauxhall Nose Stack

Unlike most large ships, the nose of the Vauxhall is significantly safer than the Center stack due to a lower than usual surface area (most shells don't actually hit the nose) and an internal density that fuzes most 450mm HE shells in the center stack. Common compartments for the nose of a Vauxhall include your choice of Reinforced DC Locker, Damage Control Central, Reinforced CIC, or Reinforced Magazine.[1]

The Center Stack

Vauxhall Center Stack
Vauxhall Center Stack

Unlike most large ships, the Center stack of the Vauxhall is significantly more vulnerable than the Nose stack due to the nose's lower than usual surface area (most shells don't actually hit the nose) and an internal density that fuzes most 450mm HE shells in the center stack. As such, it is best to fill it with various disposable or quickly expended compartments such as Rapid DC Lockers or a Small DC Locker.[2]

The Safe Stack

Vauxhall Safe Stack
Vauxhall Safe Stack

Being so far back in the ship, these two compartments are extremely safe from enemy gunfire, requiring 450mm AP shells to reach from bow-on. Unfortunately, there are only two compartments, meaning you cannot run the entire ship from this position, unlike the Axford. This means you will always have at least one critical compartment outside of the safe stack and vulnerable to damage; usually this will be placed in the nose in the form of a reinforced module. Common choices for these compartments include a Large DC Locker, Reinforced Magazine, and Basic CIC.

Modules

The Vauxhall has 

   1 Large Drive Module
   1 Small Drive Module
   3 3x3 Modules
   4 2x2 Modules

For gun Vauxhalls, many of the 3x3 Modules will typically be FR3300 Micro Reactors to power the ship. On missile cruisers, they may be Missile Programming Bus Arrays to increase missile salvo size.

Your choice of radar will end up in one of the front 2x2 modules behind the Nose-stack, either modules 5 or 7, where it will help split damage with its high HP pool and damage threshold.

For gun cruisers, your Vauxhall will need an appropriate amount of Ammunition Elevators, between 3-4. All or all but one of these will be in the 2x2 modules.

Drive Setup

There are really only two ways to set up a Vauxhall's drive for the best results.
Raider Drives provide the best lateral thrust (LT), allowing you to quickly accelerate in any direction; this is best for dodging.
Whiplash Drives provide the best top speed, allowing you to reposition across the map quickly.
Dragonfly Drives are unnecessary as the ship already has enough base AT.
Prowler Drives are a trap option here, as if you would like to play from stealth you should take a ship with a smaller radar cross section like a Raines or Sprinter.
FR4800 Reactors fit into the small drive slots, allowing you to reclaim 3x3 modules for other uses if needed, instead of those modules containing FR3300 Micro Reactors. However, the small drive slot is very important for survivability under fire, so this is only very rarely done.

As such, the two best drive setups for Vauxhalls are Raider-whip for CLs that want to survive under fire and skirmish, or Raider-raider for CLs that want to be even better at dodging at the cost of being less able to range-control or retreat from disadvantageous fights.
