My official response is just grind more
Idk, maybe I have wrong gear, but Impy dmg is comparable with Haku's and Shinano's can be like 1/2 ~ 2/3 of theirs
Sounds like massive gearing issues among other things
Also when I said superstition it's a gacha game players kind of superstition
got me doing the Jackie Chan wtf
haku is one of if not the strongest dmg cv in the game rn, how is your impy keeping up 
sounds like not dev30
also your nano bricked if shes doing 1/3 of their dmg
Double la9 implacable vs bf109g haku 
Makes no sense
AL is more than anything else about resource management, do that right and you can basically do whatever you want
bricked up indeed 
She has bf109, tenrai and saiun, haku has skyraider instead of tenrai
And impy has 2x bf and ryusei
Gacha superstition is a thing to some people. My UR luck sucked and I just broke that. Why would I offset my freshly reset luck - I've been gambling too much
ouh no š need to create new account
if you somehow managed to brick your AL account that'd be award worthy tbh
Truly joever for you smh my head
How is exchanging for something you're guaranteed to get considered lucky exactly
well according to soup it's bricked
Ask #al-general
Perm URs aren't even in Event Banners
just unbrick š§āš³
wtf my ply(?) died who told me uni + ply was enough for sp
skill issue la
I just used Musashi + Drake|BZ + Ply
Its superstition for a reason- btw for Implacable's 2nd plane slot what's recommended assuming I don't have a skyraider or the HVAR cat
Converging TB or BF-109g for single target bossing
Ryuusei or vit mode change
either use a converging torp or rocket, you almost never use a db on her omni slot
whats the armour type for this ex
But what if the boss is escorted by 2 others
Which boss exactly
Then implacable barrage or your other CV deals with them lol
15-4
I forgor but there's maps where the boss spawns with 2 other humanoid ships moving around
Those torps might just end up hitting one of the ones u didn't want to target first
I don't think it matters what you put on implacable for something as easy as that
how many +13 tenrai is enough
2
Future CV releases can change it
is ice bomb worth +13
the ryza aux that give eva
not over rudder
so its worth then, i can get to it after im done with afct and 2 more rudders
i take ice bomb over beaver most of the time
uh idk like id rather do the good 550 hp auxes before ice bomb
I'll rather +13 offensive auxes 
like gold burn and rpg aux
Is it advisable to put Shimakaze and Kawakaze into the same fleet armed with exactly the same +10 gun to unleash their barrages at the same time
sounds like you want to have no way to kill anything light armoured
i mean it works outside of any non challenging content
I gave them both the gold akizuki gun. Both are +10 just for that
except, their FP and main gun efficiencies are so bad, it doesn't matter what gun you give them
their gun damage is non existent
it will work outside anything actually difficult
but that goes for almost comp tbh
There's still torps that I manually choose when to fire at things
a blue single 76mm will be better than gold twin 100
for both *
so to answer your original question, no it is not advisable
also sorry - i forgot kawakaze ignored armour type
torpedo whiffing let's go
Magnetic torps. GOOOO
the bigger issue is how sporadic their damage is
he says he manuals
Magnetic Torp Mount isn't full proof, and can still miss
damage curve isn't smooth
It's not Recurring Damage?
this is why I haven't used Shimakaze in ages since Gun Boats have been on the rise
if the content isn't even hard, who cares
If you manual you wouldn't use magnetic torps anyway
but as i said again, not advisable
what Shimakaze is really good for is HM TRP stat padding 
she's been helping me for eva padding 
an shans just don't have the ridiculous amounts of eva she does
i only use shima for dd locked cross fleet 
I would build torps more suited for manual. Only that I used the gunpowder on a 100mm kai which will very soon be mounted on Sandy retro
I just need enough crap to build her augment
... and level her skills up to at least lv 8 where I feel more comfortable
So is 2x gem reset upcoming sometimes in August?
Extremely likely
most likely yeah
Need a gold bulin but out in shop and not enough exercise points. how else can i obtain one?
Is Kii any good or is she just tech point fodder? I just unlocked her.
decent but mostly tech point fodder
ok and which faction is she btw?
sakura
That is the Japanese faction correct?
yes
ok
3* events
Man forgot kawakaze torp mods are changed cause of her skill
scroll down
my bad
but yes both her torps and Aug barrage do same damage regardless of armor
doesnāt change the fact that he still forgot 
how long does it usually take for a blueprint ship to get it fate simulation?
6 months or less if you play reasonably
no I was talking about those that don't have fate yet
they get them when they get them if they ever get them
usually for gold ships it's a year or so, but rainbow ships is very rng
I have returned. How much has changed in the past 2 years? Are gears still more or less the same?
close enough, just ask more when in shops
Rodger that. Do they still do the META ships stuff or did that ever stop? I see URs are still going
ongoing, challenge mode is new
Has powercreep been an issue? Wonder if event hard mode grind will clobber me
events havent been getting harder
events never have gotten harder
Felt like they used to. Maybe i'm just senile
when did chapter 15 release?
October last year
power creep is a thing tho yes
Oh hey Ender is still alive. Not that we interacted much, but i remember you being a mod even years ago
if you want to experience chapter 13 and chapter 14 at the same time, chapter 15 was released 
Oh my. Is air superiority still the name of the game? I had hoped later chapters they'd let DDs shine again
DDs make a brief resurgence in w14 for ASW purposes
other than that, the queen of DDs is Laffey 2 since she can tank and anti air in w13-15
and asw
Is Laffey 2 in the general pool yet? Or was her event too recent?
she came out dec 2023
she's not gonna be perma for at least another 3 years
she was free last year from event shop
Oof. My luck
well she will rerun in little over 2 years ig
you dont need guam or laffii to beat w14 or w15 so dw too much about it
I'm surprised the lvl cap is still 125. Unless i'm missing something. Says 125 is still max on my ships
125 is still the cap
120 was the cap for about 4 years
so no surprise there
What is retrofit guys ?
essentially, a different way of upgrading ships
Also, so if i'm understanding right, i can finish my pr ships with gold now? The part after pr 30 i mean. That seems new
retrofit is something some ships have that provide more stats and gives a skill after its completed
series 1-3 and series 4 gold PR ships BPs can be bought with coins from dev0, with a cap of 15 a day
not all research ships have that yet, atm it just pr1 to pr4 excluding dr4
it's not really, been a thing since before 125 was a thing albeit not by much
just that, now newer series have it
I see. Good good
Is that a good team ? Do u think I can do the event with that formation ?
no
no
this guide tells you what ships to use no?
No for me ?
yeah no to you
yes for u
umi already told you what to use
Why no then ?
long island and repulse are basically complete shit
eugen isn't worth the resources
š¢
Isn't what I'm building ? xD I just bought the ship in the guild shop tho
no, that's not what you're building
pennsylvania and laffey are missing from the fleet you just showed us
rarity is a trap in this game
at least early-mid game
especially when ure new
what happend to her
It's from the guild shop right ?
no its from ur dock
I can only refresh eveery 38h
guys wut yall bring for napoli's gear?
who was your starter, laffey, z23 or javelin?
Youāre starter ship
Ho yes my bad š„² ty
Put that in the middle of front row
i dont have a spare quad 152 at the moment, mainly asking for the 2nd auxility tool
nothing, we don't use her because she's shit at this point without dev 25
if you insist on using her, standard CA gear
they say napoli dev 15 = agir dev 15
and no one uses agir at 15 either, at least not unironically
new people does
ok, i saw people speed for agir
people speed for agir cos waifu
LOL
people speed for anchorage because you can actually buy her BPs with coins
wuts standard ca
toolbox for the last slot if you're gonna haul her around in mob
if she isn't dying sure, but she's a tank - she's not gonna deal any notable DPS regardless
Give her a ca gun and 2 survivability aux
someone else might want the rainbow CA gun more but 
just don't expect her to tank anything remarkable without at least dev 25
already gave rainbow ca gun
no one would fr
i have 4 rainbow ca gun in total
kearsage, yorktown2, implacable
plymouth/harbin, sirius, helena
helena with or without radar
without, those carriers can't hit 16s
is it posted anywhere more detailed or no
not really
this?
doesn't tell you what gear to use
if you don't have york2 or impla or kears
you can ignore that fleet entirely imo
i do just uh
not mlb/d30
my imp is with jp rn, my yks and kear are all in 13-4h
why helena ain't used much in w14?
so with ap bombers
just... use presets and change the gears...????
yes mlb/d30
because half the boss battle is mobs and because syncing = bad
think thats def not the right gear
just change the gear 
then i have 2 change bac
dr7 prints or last 6 prints to d30 kear?
il figure another 13-4 fleet not using yk2 and kear
that's what presets are for though
Then donāt do it and lose the meta fight, simple as that
use your DR6 prints for kears
not dr7
when does the event end?
7 Aug 2359 server time
damn, hard clear?
is Azurlane the type of game that you change your fleet depending on the enemy? or will 1 meta fleet destroy most content?
the former
oh dang
you need a few meta fleets in other words
or rather, rearrange meta ships to form different meta fleets
what are the units i need?
All locked behind events n shit gonna have to wait a bit
the stuff you can get permanently are from research, which is timegated
is there a list?
a new player should not play the game that way
ALL OF THEM?????
well not all, i'd say 5/6
Almost all, with a few exceptions
who?
too many to list
but to continue, a new player should not play the game that way
they should focus on what's in front of them first
and worry about end game content later
Any gacha UR you can list, with the exception of uvh, kronk and whatnot
who?

iām so confused whoās Uvh and kronkā¦
all the more you should ignore them
why worry about ships you literally cannot get at the moment
iām just asking which Ur banners should i skip when they come around
every UR banner should be rolled
oh
the question instead is "which UR do i raise first"
Donāt worry tho, play the game and you would have more than enough cubes to pull, thatās why you donāt pull on normal gacha event banners
so as i said, not something worth thinking about so hard
should i upgrade Vanguard first? or wait till i have more options
do you have the 4 bulins to mlb her?
no
then ignore her
a non mlb UR will perform worse than MLB SRs or even elites
in any case
the content that requires full meta fleets is something a new player will take over a year, maybe 2 years to reach
simply because while they may have the ships, they may not have the gear, which is really, time dependent
ok
Also word of advice, ignore game metas , until you have ships to do so, your primary task is to progress thru earlier stages
huh. u can get Dunkerque from HT3. neat
there won't be any options. don't deny yourself a ship for 2 months just to then use that very ship finally.
is Dunkerque even any... good compared to her sister tho
No
compared to strasbourg? meh
50% barrage proc rate, elite stats
at least stras has situational 100% barrage proc...
then you remember hood exists and weep
i will say though, i personally feel that there might be an argument for her to top richy in some cases 
stras is better than hood with 1 or 2 vichya, probably still better than hood for new players with no other vichya
top riche in what
as a french faction buffer 

well she buffs frenchies better than alsace but we don't use alsace for that so
i wasn't being entirely serious
not being serious in gph smh my head red name 
so stras good 
i have to say, better than i imagined giving her credit for
amongst the best non PR BCs imo
tamaki is a bc
im ignoring her
~~still not better than a ur ~~
not like we have a UR BC
putting 5 bucks down thats now gonna be jp anni
yall tired of UR BBs? bam UR BC, cause thats totally different!
amagi 2, but not the CV
speculation in gph?
yes
AL kind of shot it's load early with prominent BCs, like Hood who you could make a UR, but you never know 
whats my priority for using core data on
/coredata
type 1 AP shell
roger, wasnt sure if its worth getting ddg equipment right now over more bb shells
you can settle on like 3 pairs of shells
till u got 3 pairs of shells dont buy anythign else
is vanguard higher or lower priority to mlb if i've got all the other ur bbs?
higher or lower than who
i dont recommend 3 black shells to new players
u recommend 1 ?
if you have all the other UR BB, depending on which of them are actually MLB, Vanguard priority would depend on who you have left to MLB
also I meant ALL the URs YOU have my bad 
they're all already mlb, but the other non-mlb urs i have are: laffey2, kron, mogador
i would take laffii
i recc laffey 2
how many UR Bulins do you have access to first of all
the cruise pass one and maybe 5-6 from the shop
sounds like you'd have enough to MLB a new UR by September, so go ahead and do Laffey for now, and comeback once the new UR releases

why is my bad summary pinned
your fault for having titles
cad spotted
who the fuck is YIIIK
Y2 implac kear?
yorktown 3 mark k
i think Sam got triggered
Mebot staple
typical mebot 3am post
I never asked for this meme
the teams are listed below the names 
can vanguard be a boss fleet flagship? mine is lvl 84 now
boss fleet, sure
flagship, theres probably someone who has higher priority for that slot
she can be boss or mob assuming proper lvls and mlb
so she is offflag?
techinically anycan, but that dosnt mean that is gud, Vang barrage isnt dependent on her position, opening space for others BBs with pos depending barrage and stronger preferable
Depend and depends if sheās even mlb
I mlbd my vanguard yes
I think in mob Vanguard is useless except for damage
Like, you can use her full potential in a boss fleet
Gear could need a bit of fixing, but seems fine
Really depends on what youāre doing
With other BBs
Who do I grind Bayard with? 
wouldn't say Vanny is useless in mob, wasted potential sure, but not useless 
is renown usable as flagship with vanguard off flag?
Louis, Brennus, Algerie
for leveling lmao
ty
why would u use renown
I mean in mob she acts like a normal off-flag shell BB with her barrage that proc once she reloads. But it's a waste
bad ship and bad tech
I dont have that many options to use in my leveling fleets bc they all go to 120 at the same time š
use the other fleet for mobbing and leave the bc fleet afk
for future reference, also ignore DD EVA no real way to fine tune the sort 
I cam MLB Terrible if that matters btw
Just vanguard in mob and Alsace boss reverse ? Doesn't really matter
alsace is already lvl 125
any1 who needs xp then
that's on you just take whoever has relevant tech, CDC farming isn't that high a bar you need to worry about whom you take
vanguard would be prio if shes not 125
Aight 
yeah I just need to raise a new ship so my fleets dont stop working
is strasbourg a good flagship?
use vanguard flag
thats the one u want to lvl the most from there, shes a great flag anyway
nice
for lvling purposes flag goes to whoever needs most xp anyway
this fleet should be alright for chapter12 I guess
maybe, lvls are low and indomi isnt mlb so idk with poverty gear
imdomi got my best gear, but I will mlb her once I get 10k coins haha
maybe 12-1 
Good gear ain't saving non mlb

eh...with those slot efficiencies should be enough for 12-1 leveling
why are you leveling random ships again?
I want 2 working fleets that arent made out of max level ships
so basically I want fleets of the best ships I didnt max yet
bearn meta is just random because she is the only main fleet ship that is above lvl 70 š
How tf do you still don't have ships like Saratoga and enty :/

mlb indom and sure
level fleet tech ships
that are for example?
I never leveled for fleet tech ig
every1 in this fleet is fine to lvl except maybe indomi which u can replace for enty or fdg or alsace since they arent 125 yet
are u ignoring the event ?
nah I dont ignore events usually
ew text
why u think that
then don't ignore this one too 
I am at 7.9k points
Just give the fleet tech tracker smh
true
keep burning oil in ht3 imo
don't worry about 12-1 for a while until u reach 60k
same
how many copies does agir need for dev30 again?
but 60k is also a massive amount 
/devbp
513
she is usable at dev 20
I got 290 copies
good enough
with fc and ancho in dock theres no rush to unlock her
fc is lvl 125 š
what ships are people using for napoli grind?
but yeah ancho will save me a bit
If I happen to miss strasbourg, is there a chance for her to get a rerun in the next year?
rn or np ships
Nah
what's the 120 tech on Audacious, and Dupleix?
dd is fp, ca is trp
I'll take it 
Man what a pain is rng
How do you guys get soo many cubes aside from dailies and weeklies
You are clearly reading that wrong
Very wrong
Where did you even get that assumption from? 
The name of the event followed by 3 ur ship names
I = that to they are in that event
So you confused a SR event and 3 UR events to be the same event 
But they are 3 different events 
A
Should I bother wasting gold on fate Sim monarch
Not a high prio
It """upgrades""" her near useless blue skill
he answered himself within the question 
Got it ill save the gold for fdg when I get the 3 mill exp I need l.
can someone give me a quick and dirty of the top 4 tank for opsi?
Anchorage + the CBs 
agir/brest/laffey 2/guam
Napoli agir someone someone
why is it different
Do you use 4 fleets?
I use the 4th fleet sometimes
but usually 3 is enough for harbiter
who is Napoli?
Rainbow from PR7
New PR7 DR CA
ah I thought you meant Indianapolis but it just cannot be
what is fleet tech for btw?
Gives ships extra stats
is it relevant late game?
very
at a certain point EVERY single ship with tech
Ideally yes but good luck
Well that's only for CVs
bearn meta is on that list nicee
just use this and follow the route you should take in the message below
Napoli Anchorage Agir Brest m m nmn mnmnn
"m m nmn mnmnn" 
IndiaNAPOLIs mentioned
Who has the lowest eHP in the game? 
Bulin and Bulin

And then URin
Finally, 
For reference, I think
is about uhh 35% , for Bulins at 20% . We are talking about ships that need to be tripled or quintupled to Portlandpost.
Can I get suggestions on if this gear should be better or not? (Minus the upgrading)
Sure 

Interesting gear layout. Instead of ā ā ā ā ā and ā ā ā ā ā , you should try IPH and Toolkit.
oh he made a thread. 
whats the most important tech fpr /ca/cb
If we are stuck in a stage ? The best way is to do the previous one to lvl up our ships ?
pre oilcap yes post oilcap certain stages are better than others
what is oilcap ?
/oilcap
then do highest u can
Are we gonna get a new stronghold in Opsi on Monday?
I'm surprised you are stuck at Chapter 2, what's your fleet?
And have you read this? https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
how much better does chapayev get after unique augment?
limit break is very crucial 
unlike other games where it only level uncaps
this adds new passives
If you oath a character, if you retire the ship, do you get the ring back? I only ask cause i read someone posting on reddit saying you could but that doesnāt sound right to me.
Why my auto sortie is broken, after one fight I have to auto search again
its a bug that happens under chapter 3 for some reason it happned to me not sure if there is a fix
I wouldn't recommend believing what reddit says
I dont have anyone i want to so i aint trying it lol
Well we already answered, you don't get your ring back
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a burlin? I'm new, level 46 and my Vanguard is 5 star. I've done the cruise thing and got the burlin from the 4k specores as well as the last event
Refer to this channel next time you got a question about the game 
Well, UR Bulins are heavily time gated and we recommend not using any of them till you have/can get 4 of them for that to not happen
Only need 1 more
And you need 2 more, not 1 from 5 to 6 stars
I have 1 for the final limit break
Thanks for the link mate. Good day to you
how high is the possibility for amagi-chan to be in the next wishing well? 
I would bet my entire cube stash she'll be on it
Well, my point still stands
#gameplay-help message
what was the cutoff like 2 months ?
25th may for last year
amagi-chan was perma-ed in 9th may so most likely ig
worst case u get cheekys cubes so its a win win
That's over 1.5k 

This is just pure fucking cap right?
Sounds like trolling
the gold CL gun that drops on HT3 can just be ignored right
yea
just tried it, itās fake
Who did you retire
the trust in gph
Trying to gain affinity on a ship quickly. Whats the best way to affinity farm?
Outside of raid events, repeatedly farming campaign/event maps
play the game
Hey , anyone else having problem with getting oil from mails ?
im at 17k oil, claimed one maintenance mail ( which included 3k oil ), and am still at 17k oil

oh o__o
I think you might wanna burn some oil first before collecting that oil though because I'm 95% certain you're already over the soft cap
usually i could claim oil until i hit 25k, but seeing that its getting stored now changed everything in a good way for me xD
theres no reason to ever hit 25k oil
why claim over soft cap ure just missing on canteen
retired my hopes and dreams 
youre just shitting your canteen oil down the drain
well im not as active as i was anymore
altered how exactly
then let oil in mail 
that's not a current/up to date ss is it
this but all lvl like 57 and higher
make an updated screenshot and come back
limit break your ships, level them more, gear them up the best you can, enhance your gear, etc
ok
what do i get from replaying old events?
access to the old event maps and droips from said maps
not much more of note
is it worth it to do it?
Pennsylvania to the Flagship position and more limit break on everyone
ok
what stars should i aim for
max star
SP5 of Passionate Polaris is a good place to farm when you're below W9 still
Divergent Chessboard is good for IB tech points but otherwise no
not much value in the War Archives
ok
are there any ships worth leveling up for the later worlds (besides URs)
these are js ones not in a fleet
depends on what you already have
Jeanne D'Arc, Jervis and Saratoga maybe but that's about it
the rest are just tech
oh cool you coincidentally have the same ur's that i have
Indomitable for W15 support fleet
Stephen Potter for OpSi Anti-light
You're definetly not in a position to be planning for W13 and above with that dock
does this EX have a gimmick or just lob rainbows
not there, js wondering if thereās any switches iāll have to do
dodging, use a tank + unicorn
and 4 other ships that do damage
according to suchi
there wll be alot of switches to do, just that alot of them you simply just dont have rn (mainly research ships)
alright bet
the gimmick is read the map
i started manualling for about 30 seconds until i realized that my vanguard wasn't really taking any damage so i just auto'd the rest
Hello, I have enough bulins to MLB 2, I think I will save some for the next UR event but if any of the URs that I have are good I can max it now
probably could've done it full auto, dunno if unicorn was actually necessary but hey it worked, ty guys
what URs do you have MLB right now
Only alsace
Vanguard > Guam = Laffey II > Mogador
Since you have 8, you can MLB Vanguard then save the rest until Sept
Vanguard and Guam next then
And vanguard would be for boss fleet right ?
possibly
Primarily in Opsi BB Boss fleet
Got it, thank you guys !
wait what hull type are Hai Tien and Hai Chi?
Can someone correct me if I'm wrong, but will all boss fleet cv set consist of: flapjack, tenrai, and ryuusei? It doesn't seem that hard to build.
their main damage comes from their secondary guns since they got mgm+1 dd guns 
Highly context dependent
feels like every Chinese ship is one retrofit and/or augment away from being busted
i heard mog outdamages ply is that real
could be possible, but ply has support 
can you give me an example where this wouldn't work? I assume that a tenrai and ryuusei are good because tenrai is a generically good dive bomber and ryuusei is best converging
ah i see
It works everywhere. It works well basically nowhere.
I'm kinda slow. does it mean it's just not specialized in anything.
it means its not optimized per content
is it normal to take like 3+ weeks to grind out the EXP part for FDG this is going to take another 6 at this rate?
no
not grinding enuf
im doing like 20+ a day using
anyways if youre doing 12-1 with full requirements met,
grind more
12-1
3 kms backline?
getting 3.6mil xp on a flag shouldnt take more than 2 weeks in w12
how long does it take to beat chapters 1 to 4 of opsi
and what's the recommended fleet levels to do so?
lvl 100 ships should do the trick, maybe a few days?

Alright, good information
Surely just 1 mob fleet and 1 boss fleet (for now) does everything before July ends
i GOT 2 casue 3 wont sruvive
But it takes for every casue they are level 81 and 90
not bc they are 81 and 90 because youre running 2 instead of 3
also put in dorm for the xp boost
I finished Daisen in 6 days using 2 IJN main fleet ships
the max morale thingy
are those 2 surviving the whole mob nodes
yes
did napoli get obtain animation
idk then 
Fleet tech bonuses are noted in AL event datamines here, right? Considering if I should just skip the hell out of this event's gacha pool
they are in #1265890768371974276
Considering that they should get at least 1k exp per battle, with 2 ships that's 2k per battle or 12k per sortie or 240k per day or 3.6 million per 15 days
can i combine 5 purple boxes to a gold one?
What I'm using the top 3 left
For Iron blood EXP
just use just level a third backline using š
tragic
i should of saved my Combat EXP if it was going to take this long
Eh people lived just fine before they were a thing, you'll be fine
and it was a time without repeat sortie, so you will be fine
youre probably just not doing 20 sorties per day
On my other account with Brest alsce got this done in like half the time id just figured im doing something wrong here
Idk Im check EXP after Sorties
1188 and 990 from the both of them huh im crazy then
I need help getting a replacement for Nelson in my OPSI mob sqwad. would really appreciate any input
Help me teambuild OPSI
what's shimakaze used for nowadays? or has she been powercrept out of her situations
anti heavy torp memes and of course
pvp
sort of powercrept when unzen exists and there isn't much content where you could run them both instead of someone bulkier or someone to do heavy damage alongisde unzen without exploding like hindenburg
shimakaze used to be able to blow up EX bosses without gimmicks but pretty sure devs have been adding more and more gimmicks so you can't just easily make them go kaboom
which has higher shop priority, the gold ship for mlb dupes or gold cats?
1 gold ship > whatever else you need
dupes then 
what units should i use for stage 12 my Vanguard barely taking any damage but my 2 Main Fleets are getting torn to shreds?
what who are said 2 main fleets
Mobs- New Jersey Alsace Unicorn Boss-August Von Parseval Freiderich De Grosse Alvitr
torn to shreds by what
my Vng are Mobs Bremerton Portland retro and Laffey and Boss is Prince Eugen Emden and Roon
+sound like gear issue
yea they arent helping you
faction fleet meta when
so should i remove Ney Jersey for Enterprise and Alvitr for illustrious?
your boss fleet have 0 AA combined whatsoever
mob AA is not good
who's good for AA?
what do you have
Laffey, Portland, Bremerton, Emden , Prinz Eugen, Roon , Belfast ,Atago , Takao , Javelin, sirius, Mogador, Yuudachi are the only ones at a viable level
sirius has the best AA out of all of those. though it's not top tier at all
I can make San Diego Viable once i 6* her and finish her Retro but shes lvl 90
so if i dont have unzen she has a purpose?
is she at Mlb? if yes then yes
if no then dont bother
i do use her for hard mode stat padding
assuming she is, what is she used for
she has a purpose mainly in world 14 or if you're a manual player or if you want to get good scores in event EX
im not asking if i should use her or not
Mlb? is that mob level?
max limit broken. 6 stars
ahh
sandy will also be good in w13 and up so shes good to raise and retro if you have the resources
Sandy is amazing in all late game 
also im 2% combat data off of unlocking Cheshire should i max her up asap and put her in considering her AA is S rank?
raank no matter , bad metric
If you have 356 Cheshire prints sure
if you need AA
i think thats what they need
not yet but my birthday is coming up so i could buy the 356 prints lol
off the top of my head, great AA frontline ships aside from sandy.. (in no particular order)
shimanto (pr6)
cheshire (pr3)
laffey2
guam
juneau
cheshire is good too but not needed specifically for w12, you will probably use her in w13 and AA heavy stuff
Sounds stupid , just use other ships
not worth the money
have none of them >.< lol
use said ship and run them thru campaign a lot
i knowā¦
as a person who bought all except pr4 (since i dont need it) - its just a timeskip for newer players, and yeah its not worth lol
the two fastest ways to get affinity for a ship is putting them on the first secretary slot (max of 90 via this method) or sortieing them. they get extra affinity if they get MVP
yeah im not exactly new but lost my account for 4 years so playing catch up and re learning the game since alot has changed
at this point you'd be better off posting your dock or so
next gear lab update isn't til january right
Based on precedence yes
okay so looking at Fleetbuilding guide AA Support Vng that i have but would need to work on is San Diego / Dido U / Bellona / Ingraham / Cheshire / Nurnburg
.< all ones i havent worked on lol
for w12 you also do not need all of those
any 1 per fleet + 2cv works
w13 however you'll need at least 2 per fleet
okay so i can do San Diego + August Von Parseval and Unicorn for Mobs And For Boss i can work on Cheshire Shinano and Enterprise
would swap avp and enterprise
okay thanks
https://i.imgur.com/DUd0NsE.png keep or reroll
Damn lol makes all of mine look feeble
these are base talents
new player here. Is New Jersey the best UR to get after exchanging 400 UR points?
depends
id choose shinano, but she wont be usable until max limit break
i would just keep it, given the base talents
if you have more UR BB get shinano
okay, let me rephrase the question: Before I got New Jersey, I have no other UR's. Should I get her... or Shinano is the better option?
I'd rather pick up shinano considering it's easy to grab her 2 partners within the same pr season
NJ can be booted more easily considering the amount of UR BBs that can do better than her in her one main role, which is dealing damage
2 partners?
actually no i think shinano is just the better option overall cause w12+ has more focus on cv and theres alot of gacha bbs out there
Hakuryuu and August Von Parseval
this cat is not worth investing into for rerolls
Hakuryuu is her IJN CV partner who also has impressive damage and they both help each other out
August von parseval is a slow support that helps them land their attacks easily
avp helps avoid this
so full Cv lineup
They make up one of the best cv fleets until their best slow support partner gets rerunned which would be Implacable
yes yes
is that good for 12+?
For campaign you aren't necessarily running them all together since over there the environment is different, but those 3 can show up
As for single target bosses like META Showdown and in operation siren, all 3 will be together and taking down bosses
Urghh 519/950 sakura empire
Expensive investment, but it will be all worth it in the end
i have AVP i can do Agir and Marco polo but not Haku and Anchorage lol
663/850 Eagle tech lol
and 519/950 sakura empire 

Lol
that's easily remedied
Chat should i lvl 125 hood and sara?
where are u at rn in campaisbg
14-2
you should be using other ships at this point
they are still quiet reliable for w14 though?
hood won't work well for world 14, sara can work
Same with indep and anchorage right
as far as budget options for W14 go, Nelson retrofit is much better than Hood
indep works pretty well. anchorage, well she is your archetypal boss tank so she obviously has uses

who should i research first in PR5 Plymouth Rupprecht or Brest? only ones i can do currently
ply
ply
Ply > Brest > The other PR5s
should i do Agir before PR5's or PR5's first?
Agir
okay thankyou!
ignoring the odd duck that is Marco, PR4 as a whole is super beneficial for the late game 
What do you guys think about portland and saratoga in chapter 14?
Portland sounds like griefing, Saratoga maybe(?)
portland offtank
You should have better options than both at that point
I know, just wanna have some thoughts
sara works well, portland you should be using better
I do think port can mob tank still, on boss she's definitely dead
portland boss offtank with jda and agir is what i plan to use on w14
the lack of skills, and her personal damage being mid af, and that by the time you're at 14 you should already have better options than Portland why bother considering her
Portland is useless as an offtank they're so many better picks for an offtank
it's very hard to justify a pure EHP stat stick tank in world 14 that has no support of any kind, even moreso when it's a heavy cruiser
you're not exactly hurting for resources either so if you're really desperate for a mob tank I'd rather raise something like an Augmented Takao to be used instead
could work
i used her and liked it
also Eugen w/ Augment would probably pan out better than Portland in 14+
Oh? Clean stagger?
she works, not first pick though
Is there a way to turn off the loading screens illustrations 
no
Nope 
set brightness to zero during loading

her constant stream of damage just helps out clear weakened enemies between main fleet downtime and put some damage on ram ships as well
Even with ooa?
every bit helps, i did use her for lethal
Saratoga used to be a staple back in the days, it's no wonder she's able to work in 14 
No, i mean is she fineclearing without ammo?
also her skill 2 is kind of underrated. not sure how it stacks with OOA though
gonna sound like a stupid question just before i go to bed but should i work on MLB shinano since i have MLB Alsace and im working on FDG or should i MLB Vanguard?
i used her to get third star on lethal, if that makes it clear
To the cave ren
but that's more on other ships in the fleet besides Saratoga
what other UR do you have?
probably work on Vanguard first
Mlb alsace ,4mogador, 3 New Jersey, 3*shinano, FDG, Retro Warspite
should be fine to work on Vanguard then 
Are Mlb Enterprise Mlb retro Unicorn Mlb Avp and Mlb Illustrious okay for Cv at the moment then?
Ehh sure
Unicorn, Enterprise, Shinano, and August are more than enough 
where to get the materials like metals for gear lab?
from siren ops
ohhhh alright
Operation Siren is the primary source
okay thanks guys i was concerned about upgrading Vanguard before Shinano because i wasnt sure if they were good enough for Cv late game
There are very strong non UR CVs that are easy to get
thanks for your advice tonight guys im off to bed now as its 3am lol
Please help ! Take my name into consideration , please ! Which do I get
Why the flying fuck would we do that
Take the blue nahkimov
Ur the best blaster
If you like Bayard that much -
Only pit
How many strongholds in single month?
2 + 1 every following monday
for mobbing which is better on Strasburger, twin 406 or NJ gun? (or too early to ask?)
MK7 would be better
what LDplayer settings should I do? Im getting 0-8 fps and I want stable 60 if possible
What armor type is the EX boss?
depends on your computer, emulators especially running AL could be heavy on a lot of computers
my pc should be alright, i have Ryzen 5 7600, RTX 4070TiSuper , 32 gb ram 6000mhz
idk tho if theres a settings that I can use to make the game stable
give 4 core 4gb ram and see if it works
yea thats overkill
im already at 6core and 8gbram
idk if LD have settings to switch between integrated and dedicated GPU. that might be the problem
or game is just not optimized for these emulators?
i use AL on LD fine
i use this with 240 fps
it's your settings or pc problem
https://www.ldplayer.net/blog/how-to-switch-from-integrated-graphics-to-discrete-graphics.html
try this
i mean its fine for most cases but I get 0-8 fps on w15
oh yea understandable, plane spam is real
i mean, thats gonna happen, regardless of emulator with how much stuff is on the screen
should've said that earlier
is it constant 0-8 fps?
when plane spam i get those 0 - 4 -8 -20 -2 .. random low fps
i never did w15 so idk if it's supposed to be that bad 
its not random, theres just a lot on the screen, which is why your frames tank
i guess that's the limitation of emulator
Do we have an updated guide for what to craft in Gear Lab?
/gearlab
so even with my specs thats bound to happen?
yuh
The plane spam is just that strong
yes
thank you nagami

What world/stage should I be farming for oil to gold ratio?
W12
12-1 and above, higher is better
Any particular stage or just 12-4
12-4 is a good balance of gold and XP while not being too difficult to drag low lvl shitters thru
Thanks
theres like a hundred different stuff going on screen
Which stage in chapter 12 is best to farm (I need coins)
12-4
12-4 best for coins
Alr thanks
is reload relevant for fighter plane like flapjack and tiger cat? Do I always pick FlapJack for more damage or only higher AA than tiger cat? Thanks
12-1 is easier, so pick what you want
Why not farm the event instead? U get event points too
for AA flapjack is better iirc
event is crap for coin though
hard to say why, probably combination of all the factor
only farming event since i want to buy PR/DR 7 prints
Thank you, I'll guess I'll choose flapjack even with lower reload
yes , get event bps first @hidden smelt
but they want coins, probably for pulling
that is true , ok do whatever u want @hidden smelt
not that hard to farm coins first then back to event. there's still 1 week+ left
would lowering resolution helps?
i'm starting to think it's the emulation limitation but you can try
I just remembered, I haven't pulled any of the ships yet
not really, just makes it look worse, for like a bit more frames
eeh 720p not that bad, i've playing with that for years
using mumu player, though the annoying thing is sometimes desync, but works well enough
how about Nox , have u tried it
nox? fuck them
nox? didnt like it
why 
that mf installed adware on my laptop
Whatās the sync between Yorktown 2 and enterprise?
WAIT REALLY 
havent run into any issues so far
retro AL
when i went to uninstall it have the usual checkbox that default to checked that says install some shit. i uncheck and it still installed it
fine, i'll uninstall it. then few months later i found out it's still on my laptop
it keeps resintalling itself and add "Protection" extension to all my browser
12 fps
looks normal
with lower res?
1600x900
dont know why youre surprised, there are 30 planes on your screen
add up the numbers on the right side of screen
no really, looks normal
try 720 
try 480
aight after this fight
i'm curious how much fps will that give
even not at w15, you won't ever get constant 60fps on Azur Lane on emulator
if what youre saying is correct, then im done for
even with a 4060?
perseus + uni looking kinda rough, ngl
even with a 4090
wut fr?
youre gated by the emulator
better pray thats last mob
there's just so much you can do with emulation
my fps dropped some fighting harbiter on an iphone 14 plus i'm cooked for w15 
no way
it didn't even use all of your GPU so it's not gpu limitation
also world of advice, dont like put every setting on emulator on max
spoken from experience
0fps kinda insane
i lowered to 720p lets see
wut map u doin???
15-4
ok
just turn off the frame rate display and play
no i won't turn it off :madge:
trust me it won't get any better, and you're better off just winning with low frame
as long as your emulator doesn't crash the game it's all gucci
wait it feels getting better when lowering resolution
is it because emulator is still different from windows x86? so that u cant use the full powwer of ur gpu
guys does having a level 125 ship in PR exp grind not provide any exp for the quest?
i mean mission
Does __ count for Shipyard Combat Data Collection EXP?
- Exp earned in PvE combat? Yes.
- Event Combat? Yes. Operation Siren? Yes.
- Ships level capped for any reason? Yes, if it otherwise would count. Even if you see +0.
- PvP/Exercises? No. Dorm? No. Exp packs? No. Commissions? No.
I got my first Wyvern, should I use it on Perseus or Unicorn, I use them both in my mob fleet 
start by removing one of them from your mob fleet
ideally just have unicorn on your mob fleet, let her have the wyvern
is Unicorn better than Perseus? š I use both to auto strongholds
in longer fight like in stronghold, yes
swap in something like Independence instead of Perseus and you'll observe better results
I used to do strongholds with Aquila or Independence but I can't fully auto the Stronghold 
I'll do some test with the Wyvern


what are the green checkboards in opsi and is there any way to do them automatically? or do i have to manually do them
daily missions

can I refight the hard opsi boss after healing up wuthout having to fight it at max hp again? it's not the exit button right?
No, HM resets if you heal
aw, thanks. so there's no point of me doing it if I can only chip down a quarter of it's hp right?
you can still get those rewards at 75%
Getting to 25% remaining HP is a good goal, though HM rewards as a whole aren't as good as Normal
Bruh is Ƥgir affinity hard to increase or smt like Iāve sortied with her like 50 times and her affinity is still at 51
..are you using her in operation siren?
do the best you can but it really basically doesn't matter, hard mode arbiter rewards very little rewards, essentially irrelevant compared to everything else
how many coins would i need to dump to get a good meowfficer from the kitteh home?
millions on average, or so i heard
