and about time for you to replace Akagi. i know it's your waifu, but use good ships, like the Enterprise you neglected 😭
use Shinano too, mlb but lv77
hi lmao this is so stupid but i just started and does anyone know how i can level my ships up
my fleet 2 is so severely underlevelled im struggling to clear lol im so sorry its a dimb quetion
Dorm and lower stages
use them 
oops so not that much like the other gachas with exp books
also exp books for ships you need urgently
alr thanks im just gonna sortie over and over again
if you've just started, you don't need 2nd fleet
probably dumb question but what sort of dd is z52? gunboat? torp? or just some sort of buffer
oh alr thanks i'll try with just one
so yukikaze ig
Gold burn/oxy orp is solid on her
Ying Swei, and Chao Ho are getting augments on Jan 2nd btw 
who
z52 is tank, aa carry, barrage spammer, damage buffer, trash mob eraser, healer altho not much
her damage will be mainly FP based from her barrages
Gunboat, pretty high AA, and tanky
high enough aa to use sex bofors?
no her AAGM isn't that great as her skill is a big source of her AA damage
ah ic
combined she is like the gatekeeper for AA carry, anything with AA lower than her aren't qualified as AA carry
roughly around 65%-70% sandy's AA, for the fleet
in that case does she want a regular accelerator or something like the 134 high angle
Accelerators (that aren't UR AA) on vanguard ships isn't really worth it 99% of the time
Out of the few who would benefit from them, it'd be STAAG/Haze for the HIT stat
Is gascogne good?
someone here told me z52 wasnt an aa carry
Not terrible but easily replaceable

oh wtf the meta's moved on a lot from where i left lol
didn't realise we're putting staags on everyone now
wait i read that wrong did i
You did
just give her a roomba for AA content and 134 when AA isn't needed
Where’s a good place to farm equipment cause I don’t have a lot
You don't farm campaign for gear
Tech boxes is where it's at
eh, you mean roomba? yeah you can usually give all vanguards roomba and backline bb/cvl using staag
Okay thanks
What ships should be top priority to research?
FdG > All of PR4 except Marco > At least Plymouth and Brest from PR5 > Everyone else
Okay
Maybe Cheshire too if you need more AA Carry material
usually a bb using staag is enough for the accelerator role
if you want to min-max AA, accelerator always goes to the ship with worst overall AA capability in the fleet so it varies
do the ap rocket thingies hit their target always?
The most acceleratory accelerator I use is staag, stuff like blast shield are traps
i meant the fighters from pr4
They can miss moving bosses
if they dont always hit, doesnt it mean that converging torps are better even vs light? assuming every gorps hit
I mean, assuming every torp hits, every rocket would hit
Torps are far more likely to miss moving enemies than rockets are
ahh, so if the boss doesnt move, then they launch it dirsctly to the boss?
no, hit rate drops if the target is moving
according to CN researches, it drops to around 60% when target speed is 30
how about if i use a stopper, will they always hit?
and conv torps are like 40% for 30 speed?
Rockets have 100% chance to hit nonmoving bosses with the typical hitbox size
yes, they will always hit if target doesn't move
we have ships that can stop enemies moving completely now?
We've had that for quite a while now
AvP came out like 3 years ago
What ur should I go for New Jersey or ulrich
And Implacable was like last year
Shinano > UvH == New Jersey > Shimakaze
Okay
never checked avp's skillset tbh lol haven't developed her yet
I need recommendation fleet
In this world with 2 triangle enemy cv have more than 60+ planes 💀
i'll move on to her once i'm done with fdg ig
Post your dock in a thread
a little less than 60%, but for the default movement pattern, not 30 speed constantly moving target
Not directly onto the boss. They are like converging torps but travel faster and therefore hit before the enemy has had as much time to move
btw bombs are the least affected thing by enemy speed, but they don't have very high hit rate to begin with

thanks
lastly, why do people not like UvH? is she that weak compared to other URs? If i wanna one run helena met, will she be any good?
Bottom 4 rainbow BB, yes but depends on your scale, yes but not worth using UR bulins on
who else is in the bot 4 other than warkai
NJ fdg warspite uvh
balls
even weaker than warspite? or nah
What a coincidence they're the oldest 4
okay thanks
between vanguard and uvh who should get the rainbow table
ws is around above average gold bb level, all other rainbow bbs are better than best gold bb
UvH assuming equal investment on everything else
you could say that
She has Warspite-level damage but buffs your whole fleet damage by over 10%
vanny the new warspite 
i think vg's own damage is still a lot stronger than ws but you get the point
idk about that, since my Thurin reachs near her in Heavy ...
and we are talking about Purple, old Dreadnought BB ...
Who's better Laffey II or Eldridge retro?
I think it's the latter
Which ship could I put the new gear skin "Echo of the Eternal Stars" on? It keep saying not match skin
you can use it on any ships auxiliary slot but the slot has to have an aux equip actually equipped (and it cannot be something like a depth charge etc)
is it safe to assume that any gold equips not listed on the picture guide are safe to scrap?
I see
Laffii does more damage and AA, while Eldridge does a lot more vanguard defense and slow for offense buff
laff also very tanky
It is not at all safe to do so, because the guide may be outdated or gear may be one-time limited and useful in very niche situations
is an octuple pom pom safe to scrap
yes
Only if you have a lot of other gold AA guns
they have a lot of roombas and 3 90mms
And why not keep all gold gear on ships you don't use, maybe in 10 years you'd want to get on the fleet power leader board
w8, octo pompom isnt much a thing cuz really low range ...
Do people actually care about that lol?
does gear at diff enhance levels also count for fleet pwr?
Really
so why do you have so many q152s at 0 enhance 
How do I play the game
I'm also new, don't mind the close beta thing next to my name
fleet building help
@sweet delta you have a YouTube ?
who doesn't
this is probably a bit of a deep cut or far reach, but in Girls Frontline, levelling characters gives no stats, and enhancing them adds stats.
does levelling give no stats here, or some stats.
I really haven't noticed
I don't
what aa does uni want to have
Staag
levelling does give stats
does hit do anything for cvs or just as an accelerator
What's your YouTube ?
his youtube is suchiguma iirc
hit increases chances of hitting plane bombs and torps and stuff
hit does something for every ship
Suchiguma without the iirc
miss the days when it was zstigma and i was the only guy commenting
Nice
hit stat on a ship decreases the odds of your enemy evading an attack they recieve
Now I get weird comments
Does the collect all button just collect the one for eagle union?
First time I've seen that button 
idk i maxed tech before the button existed
ive never seen that button so idk
cooperskyler 
It did, in fact, only give me the rewards for eagle union level 7
yeah uhh
Whazzat
that was the only collectible
I was just confused why there's a collect all button for a maximum of four things in fixed locations, it's not like dorm which is infinite and can be hidden behind furniture
cuz lazy ppl exist
anyone know how to get to the D stages of the current event?
but in part 2
click on any B stage then hard
part2, select a stage and click hard
ah thanks, is this a new event UI? it used to be different awhile ago
oh the priority is in the datamine doc
Is the new UR good? Should I invest in her?
The new URs are both good, but investment priority depends on your things
i would say depend on wut u have ... Cuz Rumy is quite niched
if its about Z52, them probally gud thing to do, depending only if u lack MLB in Musa or other similar like Zwei
Ah right, there's 2 URs, I forgot. I mean the gacha one

so its Rumy... she is niched, if u already got other URs that are more general ready, including Z52, its a thing invest on her
most universal UR CV in main story
Rumy ? universal ?
yeah, she can clear trash mobs with that ghost CA gun, has top fighter AA, and fighter+anything slots are good enough for main story
isn't work time very good to discuss game stuffs?
i would agree if i dont need to move 7.5km to reach there
PS: i go with Bike, so i cant type through there
Well, thanks for the help you guys! I'll see if I can put her on any fleet, if not then I have a new pretty secretary.
so nice, i had to drive 60 km to work
Anyway, time to go

Ur spearfish worth making?
not really
It's good, but too expensive to be worth it
with the addition of the tenrai in gear lab soon, not rly
wait to see
Sidegrade to tenrai?

No, he meant tenrai has higher priority
Tenrai and Spearfish arent even in the same plane category 💀
Yeah sry had to check again
we don't know what will tenrai cost so better just wait and see
what spearfish excels at ?
light armor
bossing mostly ?
good at mobbing
wyvern without intercept
slightgrade(up or down depends on content) to wyvern as parallel
better than saiun against light ST at same enh lvl on non amagi comp
like its not bad, but the cost really isnt it

light ST?
for now, the only place i know where spearfish being irreplaceable is opsi speed farming fleet, where it outright beat wyvern by 3-4 seconds, and you need 3 of them
in other contents, wyvern does the job fine
light armor single target
i shouldntve made the drake gun from ords
neither are worth it if u arent rich yes
i happpened to be broke
now im even more broke
we have LST, MST, HST, LMT, MMT, HMT, GMT
dont forget pst
Is august von parseval worth building
what are these
sushisenpai what are those
lst = light single target
lmt = light multi target
you can figure the rest
greenwich mean time
A bit of brainpower was required, but what's GMT? and PST?
oh for fuck sake
General Multi Target
You're reading minds now
wait wrong reply
and here I thought all of that are different time
timer wave?
pacific time
btw are u done from w14 
did 14-3 3 star
i just realized it typoed lmt as mst which probably didnt help
Just farming some of my ships for now before going again
Man, why are they gatekeeping my progress with comander levels 😦
I just reached 41 and next stage requires 50
farm event
you could buy a instant lv 75 bundle but i cannot recommend doing that xD
farm event
i thought it was lvl 70 
why not 
maybe i am wrong
I do but B2+ too hard 😭
75 +-5 then and now its correct either way
stop slaccing
b3 should be doable
They kill my Port in one mob fight on manual
many here can help you with all kinds of information
show fleet
can vanguards shoot at targets behind them
depends but yes
thanks
if they use penetrating bullets
depends on their wep angles

like most dd guns have 360
I must be blind or something but I don't see any hard mode button to do C1-C3 and D1-D3 for the event so how do I unlock them ?
Brest has her butt gun
Tyvm

show the formation
k looks like ranger is on life support there
Definitely
Say what
but anyway
get the levels for port and uni
it should go well even with 2 backliners
~~ pull the plug let nature take its course ~~
How many UR Vouchers per day from daily SP and Missions only ? Trying to buy just enough
u are missing 1 level for port and 2 for uni
get them done and mlb them it should go well
Such big diff in survivability?
well level wise no but the increase in stats can be very helpful
and as for uni she will have more damage
this is because of 2 major factors
the fight is taking long and low stats on the tank especially eva
player can already have bought the first UR ship without exchange from event coins to UR vouchers. as said its pinned and a list is even ingame in the event tab
Yeah okay but how is 1 lvl gonna solve that
ships get their final limit break at lvl 70
also if u are forced to manual u can do that for couple of times
since the game has a threat mechanic each time u clear the stage it becomes easier
u can auto it when the threat level is close to 0
Oh so for LB yeah true
Oooooh okay I never read that anywhere, cool info!
im returning to AL after a 6 month break, are these opsi fleets still solid? And where could I put morgador after I 125 her?
Also do I have to kill the orange skull mobs on event zones?
First 3 is solid, idk what's the fourth one for except filler
the BB fleet looks good but maybe if u have alsace put her instead of vanguard
cv fleet maybe remove helena for sirius
mob fleet 2 bb is kinda slow remove nj for indep i think
mob fleet i'd do musashi indep uni
uvh is a lot faster imo but i didn't test it
i mean ideal would be alsace or a third cv with fast launch/preload like aquila, akagi muse, luna etc
also unzen good for mob iirc, torp preloads
bis2 flag for fleet 3
hinden should go in mob
do you have mogador and alsace?
he has 125 mogador
Yeah, but they’re still leveling
what about alsus
I got both
does your fleet 3 have any specific armor usage?
like anti light
i was thinking putting aurora there for fleet 3
Wasn’t anti light kind of a meme? I was thinking just using hvar/skyraider on the cv comp
if you have them then sure
the only light for which i don't recommend using a cv comp for it is c6 medusa aka equilibrium
why is that, the weakness?
bc weaknesses dont even work
it has a strong aa both offense and defense
just do more damage
if you have the correct fleet it wont matter
CVs probably still smash through her
well i tried with avp it didn't work i did maybe 50% hp
also i don't have hvar but still so bad
i mean obviously it depends on a lot of things 
So both alsace/mogador go in BB fleet when they’re ready? Then hinden goes mob with unzen to replace kron/chang
anyways fleet 2 looks good as it is
fleet 3 can use
bis2,alsace,vanguard,plymouth,aurora/mogador,unzen
hinden in mob fleet
independance in mob replaces new jeresy
Does anyone know why buying oil cancel button is switched to the right instead of the left when you are in combat instead of when you buy it on the homepage, because I was confused why my gems were getting taken away when I presumably clicked cancel but really it was on the right all along.
devs just made it like that probably
i dont think anyone will have a real answer to that one
to be safe, just don't tap the buttons
and think tap outside the box to close these kinds of windows
Yeah, I'II try to do that next time because I'm trying to save for a L2D skin which costs 1200 gems rn
if ure f2p and playing for the long game you should follow the recc from /gems, the QoLs will go a long way
do you guys use houshou in youre fleets to level ships faster
no
i was thinking abt using her to level nakh faster
Only when I am grinding ijn backline exp for pr ships
idk if its a good idea cuz i stil need to get other tech up
just use the slot for another ship that needs xp
ull get more xp longterm that way anyway
unless houshou herself needs the xp she eats more exp than she provides
You have your answer already, tech is more important
And I only do that cuz I don't have backlines that need exp
Ayyyy B3 clear. Why is the next chapter in event locked tho?
wdym
have to clear D3
oh
Wdym D3
smh renhex
b3 literally doesn't unlock anything
wait, it probably unlocks something in story mode
Tap on B3, bottom left, toggle to hard
hard mode of B3 is D3
and u need to clear D3 to unlock SP
stay and farm b3 for a bit
if u just cleared it chances are u cant clear C1 yet
OH NOOOO
you can finish story mode and get 5 free cubes
Yeah but it takes ages to read
just a few minutes of clicking
I wanna read it tho, its mildly cool
you can skip it now and read it any time later
Is fdg,unicorn and shinano good for main fleet?
for what content
Story mode
which main campaign chapters exactly
i just downloaded this game and i have no idea what server to choose
Lexington has the best medal shop this month but this month is soon over so you won't be able to take advantage of that
what are guilds? whats the na server?
I’m stuck on 10 so I’m trying to get together the best fleet for it
I ran out of oil at 29k event currency, not much can be done aside from waiting for oil right?
that is overkill for chapter 10 if they are mlb with decent lvls and good poverty gear
all the servers are for global i.e. anywhere thats not China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan
as for guilds uh don't worry too much about that for now
if you pick the right server, you can join my guild
ohhh ok
sushi gm?
whats like- america server?
so like north america?
world wide
theyre all the same
yea global servers
there’s global, JP, CN, and TW servers
flavor
just different names for different servers
just for aesthetics
not much more to it than that
amagi best
it's just servers 1 through 6
global client shows only global servers
JP, KR, CN are locked behind their own clients
what should i join

.
why are there so many assets-
700+ ships
whys it good?
because CV hulls and BB hulls are the best hull rotation in medal shops when starting out
my brother knows everything about ships- so he told me to play this lolll surprised titanic and other stuff isnt on here
just go whichever has the best medal shop next month, unless we dont know
and these rotate monthly
what are the medal shops for next month?
if u grind enough u could prolly pick up some decent ships in shop
idk what that is
thats what id have to ask you
pick the same server as your friends, if you have none playing then pick any server
just pick any server
oh ok
Where do I go to see these points I’ve accumulated to exchange for frames?
This game is mainly about warships, you aren't gonna see civilian vessels and such in here for the most part.
in event tab
Call to Arms: ???
ohhh alr, so like the ships in the top gun movies??
yeah, my personal yacht isn't in this game
i mean the andrea doria is in the game-
not the liner Andrea Doria, the battleship
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_battleship_Andrea_Doria
and no, the ships in the game are mainly from the period of the First World War to the end of the 2nd World War
or from paper
we have a few ships from before that period but nothing laid down beyond the early 1950s is in the game

ok why has al been downloading resources for 2 hours now
ohhh
Could be slow internet
Tech question because I struggle to understand. I am close to get the CV Hit tech from Ryuuhou and Hiryuu, will I get the stats since I have Sakura faction at level 9 ? Each tech is tied to its faction or distributed on any four "Faction tech" ?
Level 120 tech and faction tech are independent of each other
obtain and 120 tech is distributed to each respective hull
bonuses from faction teching leveling are also distributed to each respective hull they just need faction points to lvl up
And all tech stats apply to all MLB ships
Okay, I get it now, thank
what
you're still in the tutorial
Which one should I choose?
check the pins
why would you use your actual name....
its ur commander name that will show up on leaderboards/guilds and such other public places
use the name you want and add random numbers
hmmm this doesn’t look that complicated
Blogging goes to #al-general , this channel is for help
is this the gacha?
oh so do i not talk here-?
yes
only pull on event banner
and outside event banners only 1 light pull/day
you might wanna give that a read
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
but this event banner is rly good so spend all ur cubes there till u get fritz
but try to save some coin so u can progress aswell
unless you're explicitly asking for help or advice, yes
Ask game questions here
yeah i don’t get it-
what
Same as any other gacha game gacha
Do I need to have these ships in my main fleer which kills the boss?
yes they can also die tho
Huh. It says they cannot
yea..
???
the description is wrong
Ok so I swap then in for my weakest ship one by one and run the stage
I put all of them in one fleet, bc crossfleet can kill the boss
And some carries within the fleet
okay so what do i do gameplay wise now?
• what do i gacha for?
• what is the main story chapter?
• what are good starter ships?
have you given that a read
i skimmed
fully read it, it should tell you most of what you need to know
read at w/e pace you like, no need to rush it
yeah i don’t veg it
I have 2 (two) rings, should they go to z52 + nhakimov or z52 + rumey?
if you're just doing it for the stats main fleet > vanguard
and if u want the meta but not enough for all 3 answer then the backlines
but z52 is like buzzing
the stat boost from oathing isn't as meaningful on vanguards as it is main fleet ships, also it can create conflicting issues with other main fleet ships leading to needing to rework how you build ships, on top of that you won't be able to easily copy past builds due to odd oathing



okk, I think I'm going with z52 and Rumey regardless, thx

any fleet that needs a slow
could use soyuz with her
Soyuz, Nya, Rumey, and what vanguard?
depends on the enemy
maybe Soyuz, Nya and Zwei?
What can Zwei do
an example for next month's challenge mode
helena awk
What’s next months gimmick?
not like they'll be able to copy that 
bullet sponge shield
Cool
aside from 1 La, I can copy that
not if you have only Fritz oath'd
Z52 instead of Scylla ? :]
just go on calc and make w/e cv ur using match that time
any scylla replacements?
hell will freeze before I resort to using Helena
cool no one asked 
Very Impressive
:JustKiddingIllustriousEmote:
Newbies don’t get to pick and choose 
Question: is Amagi (CV) a more boss-focused or mob-focused CV? Also, what kind of builds should I go with her?
both, and depends on who you're using and what you're fighting
For a more mob-focused fleet, then
My current mob fleet is Perseus, Unicorn-Retro, Yat Sen, An Shan and Chang Chun
Indomitable is my flagship, but I know she's more boss-focused, so I wanna replace her
for what content exactly
SirenOps
Guys do I take this research? It costs basically all my gold, but I just did all my MLB for carry fleet
well if you don't need to improve your boss fleets more Amagi will do fine, replace Perseus too while your at it, Akagi Muse would be a good choice
I can post pics of all my fleets, if you want to have a look at them
If you are doing pr5 then stick with it, take one of the grants or a rigging
I wouldn't you have better things to spend gold on than research at the moment probably
Yeah... So skip research alltogether?
not exactly, just don't commit any resources to it that you can't afford to spare
Take a grant donation or rigging, grind more coins 
None of them are that good either
second, that's Implacable in the mob fleet not Indomitable
Yeah sorry, mixed up the names
start a thread and post your dock at this point
I almost called Perseus "Hermes"
What would be the best 3rd backline instead of Alsace for TaihouM? I've tried both her+Sushi but both are around about this low dmg compared to the 2?
bis2 alsace sushi
All ships, or just SSR above?
just SRs and URs
Drop that Guam, run a Helena
also isnt guam pretty overkill?
the fight doesnt seem to have a lot vanguard pressure 
why use guam
just run helena or mog
Alsace and Sushi never get above 300k for me
are you forcing battleships or something
Also Guam is there for consistent AB
Unzen with 0 surival aux can main tank without bigger problems
considering that the boss is heavy armor and your BBs should be doing AB for themselves already...
Helena > AB
Plus 160k dmg, she ain't lacking in that department either
and helana could help more
her numbers are being inflated by AA damage among other things
Also that Plymouth damage is depressing
METAs too?
no
Idk, this is the loadout im running for her, can't see her getting much more dmg
They cost bunch of the plates, that fine?
130k is normal for ply
at your stage of the game no, don't take them
those plates are far more valuable for upgrading gear
Also I got a ticket for selection ship, which would be best boost?
check the pins
just farm more, those researches are very worthwhile
have you seen his plate numbers...
yes
Theres a grant, just take it 
AA guns cost like *15 gray plates each, 80 plates is far more than needed
So since I have Graf I take Richeliu as they are both not from permanent sources?
well I don't know what you're working with exactly
Or Formidble that one also doesnt have star
if you can't decide best thing is just to hold onto it
TheLandMaster45 - Fleet Building
none of them are that good though
Richi is you're still early game and lacking good BBs I guess but the rest are mainly just tech
I have the basic setup with "free" ships
There, thread made
Well I decided to try Helena+Kear, Kear did real bad even with an LA9, and Helena only got her 1 guaranteed proc (I also forgot to put guns on her)
Did the thing
why kear 
Buff the other 2, Alsace+Sushi didnt buff and were always underpfermoing so wanted to try her
For the new IB carrier what's best loadout?
Alsace should buff though? Just use Flandre gun
Two fighter bombers then like a multirole gun?
situationally dependent as always
When are the SP and EX maps releasing?
Ok, you think equiping the VH armor on her is worth?
absolutely not
they've been unlocked since the event started
Aight so catapult and like, beacon maybe?
yes, 2 catapults unless you're doing timing stuff
Why are they locked on my end?
Coo
have you cleared D3
Yes
well if you don't have access to SP and EX you haven't
B3 is not D3
Sorry it was b3
does helena have better AA than ply

So this time I got 2 procs, and it's the same dmg as having Guam, would it be better to stick with Guam for the consistent 1300k or try and highroll for 3+ scans on Helena?
why not use CVs
is the Twin 100mm Type 98 AA Gun Mount good?
I cba to change gear all the time from different CVs, then also for PvP too
did you forget to gear the helena
just use the battleships for PvP and CVs for Taiho but anyway
Why can't I go past b3?
Yes, I forgot the guns, but shes not gonna do 20% to the boss
hard mode maps are now just a toggle from their easy mode counterparts
Oh sorry, just returned from AL
But defense fleet is CVs, and knowing me Ill forget to re-equip
Thanks
it's a relatively new feature, so it's fine 
trust me when I say your defense fleet does not matter
you really don't need to try in PvP unless you care about rank, and rank itself is more of a flex just like defense fleets
Well that's kinda what I'm trying, to see how far I can get for EoS
well a good defense fleet won't even help you until the end of the season
.
and it's easy to counter the stall fleet you have anyway
just drop Alsace for Aquila and it folds pretty easily
what do i need to open SP?
transitional AA gun
it's ok, but why do you have it?
clear D3
transitional PR1 only 
toggle the switch on B3 to get to it
100% D3
how do i switch tabs to it?
sushi aqua is a solo or does she have a proper fleet?
3, 2, 1...
solo, flag, very short battle only
oh? like in normal story? since when it's like this and not one big tab on bottom left/right?
and iirc there's no aux that turns a ship into hololive faction
yes, this is the new format for event maps
new map feature
i see
you sure? that gamers mark something?
Stupid question while I'm here btw, are the TaihouM spawns Med or heavy armour?
oh it does work, but Aqua requires three hololive in total. So a surface ship is still needed
thanks
@soft dagger what gear did you run on your 3bb clear for taihom
Izumo champy champy
How many zones in total in op siren
should be 72
72
Btw for Fritz in single target is the staag hit more worth over the CL guns?
yes
Doesn't that just make her a CVL at that point pretending to be a CV?
well I don't see what difference it makes
it will if u cleared OpSi chapter 4 and have reset unlocked
otherwise it wont
it should show a timer on the left side of the opsi main screen
More planes+different choices for loadout?
not really
Kinda ruins her 'gimmick' ig
her being classified as a CV or a CVL makes no difference to her performance
hidden (obscured) zones
they give rewards but u cant exit them to heal
they are not super difficult tho as long as your adaptive tuning is okay
More important then the free damage and damage amp from CA gun?
Also what CVL has 8 planes
indep moment
Yeah I was gonna sya quite a few, I thought part of the reason for UR cv was 9 planes instead of 8 (apart from amagi)
from what I've scene and read so far yes
Are there no Samvaluations for the new ships?
sam is busy remaking his site
UR doesn't really imply anything other than maybe an above average level of performance compared to SRs
CVL have higher base RLD than CV and lower AVI (mostly)
and also hulls dont rly matter tbh
cvl have also higher tech 
better to not dwell on what a ship could have or should have been and focus on their actual performance in game
Also if anything Amagi showed you shouldn't just look at plane count
that as well
sometimes its just quality or quantity
True, it seems loadout is biggest decider imho
Hwah Jah already showed me that
Wonder how well Haku's 9 planes are doing
plane slot count does matter tbh cause it means less flexibility in loadouts
but that doesnt mean fritz is a bad CV
i dont think anyone has said she was bad
that omni fleet idea of yours is more tempting now with z52
according to Quyet yet again, she is
who
Fritz has a universal 2nd slot, shes more then flexible enough 
how good is kirov M in taohou meta fight
Yeah more it just feels bad that she has gimmick and skills you don't really fully utilise because they were implemented badly, kinda reminds me of release Mog (but nowehre near as bad)
youtuber
the youtuber who said Bristol > Ply
this guy
he's also now saying Fritz's damage is shit because shockingly her damage against heavy armor is nothing to write home about
never heard about him
good
I respect that
, I want 4 ply guns
💀 only kimo pops up in my reccs
now you know to actively avoid said individual
truly an interesting fellow
did he say she is bad cuz bad vs heavy
or just that she is bad vs heavy? 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTQvhnS-m7Y&t=2s
just watch what he says and read his responses in the comments
Idk I see ALM alot, and recently and he said that Stehpen Potter is the same as Kazagumo, on the same power level and he uses her a lot over Kaza which just doesn't seem correct to me
i dont feel like giving him viewership tbh
her skills arent even maxed 

yeah, there's a reason why we don't reccomend anyone watch AL youtube guides/reviews for learning/information
whats the tldr? i dont want to burn my last brain cell watching his 2 min video
i js dont watch al youtubers 

dont worry sushi
said her damage is bugged because she did shit on heavy armor compared to Alsace and Bismarck Zwei and said the devs needed to fix her damage output and when people pointed out her strength is not heavy armor well this was his response was "That’s beside the point. The point is to play-test her. Every bosses at the moment are heavy armor, be it challenge mode, Arbiter or meta"
"The point is to play-test her"
which is just, astonishing
oh wait u said that in ur paragraph
well according to the thumbnail something is not right. apparently his head
im still confused about this part, if u have her on a cl main gun does she still gain the special ca main gun or it doesnt matter if u have an aa gun or cl main gun
ty, and lol. so a survey with 1 response is also usable knowledge. good to know /s
the bg music at least is cool
you still gain a ca gun regardless of cl gun there or aa gun there
ok
are quyets guides reliable at all
the CL and CA guns are completely independent of each other except that they use the same weapon queue and the CL gun provides FP stat
should i use it?
if you have no better AA guns sure
yea ok so wouldnt u still wanna use a cl main gun for her skill to proc?
what skill
the only relevant skill increases the CL gun's range
if you don't use a CL gun, then there's no range to increase 
hows the Twin 381mm Advanced Main Gun Mount?
that's like a skill that's only useful when you have CL gun
thats why
Please, if you're doing PR1 focus research, do not do that. If you're a super old player, then those PR1 gears are mostly not useful at all
i have spares not upgraded yet just wondering
does anyone have a medium armor break oriented boss fleet
medium armor break?
against medium armor bosses
Literally just use like Agir or Guam depending on if it's BB or CV
oh does it matter if they're bb or cv?
Guam helps maintain CV concealment
what's the diff between a cv and bb boss
for next month's CM
Will current event still be available after today new update?
yes
the upcoming update is just part 2 of the outfits, and so on
otherwise you have till Jan 1st
I see. Means still have time. Haha.. thanks!
Only reruns last a week
Is sandy a good replacement for scylla
https://suchiguma.github.io/challengemode/january/ sandy is ok but then you may want to remove helena or ply for harbin
does someone know what is the c3 zone with more area?
Is the double torp for Scylla supposed to be situational ?
It doesn't deal any real damage
It's for timing
To trigger more barrages
Not like her actual torps deal any real damage anyways...
Maybe since CM is way longer it's better, but last time I was told to just put quad mag on her in my w15 comp
What’s the stage for xp farming?
Me no understand
12-1/4 outside event
Within event, D3
Thank you
How high does the pr vouchers go that you can buy?
4 and only for the PRs
Damn
in a long fight like cm
on average would helena's scans get my fleet more dmg compared to using ply for dmg and buff
what the autoloader 
Autoloaders no longer a meme 
i mean they never were, they always had a niche for timing 
was autoloader relevant pre-cov?
i m pretty sure that i had to use an autoloader for a certain meta showdown 

i use double autoloader uvh
i use autoloader for vanny when doing my 457 comp
me getting soyuz to fire 4 instead of 3
Musashi uses a lot of autoloader
also should I level CA rld tech?
eventually yes
how important is it in relative to other tech? after eva, hit, and fp?
cause I wanted to sync my agir but I couldn't
Defensive tech isn't thaaat important
but they say ca/cl eva >
whys everyone tryna get syncs with agir these days
There is literally only 4 or 5 CA/CB eva
It isn't hard to max that
i cant tell if theres a different meaning to this
Newbies 
"synced" is "oath" pretty sure
I wanted to let you know that, thanks to dfg, I've been able to get a hold of CN eHP. I've translated it.
1: Their process is similar to eHP2. (taking arithmetic average of uptime)
2: They put hitshields at ~10 to ~20% DmgRed (their calculation doesn't include average damage of enemy bullets, I think)
3: They account for slashes (not sure how they do it yet)
4: Their considerations are for max tech
cucked blocked by paywall
wat
my words exactly
mebot is ehp only a little bit higher for a ship with max tech vs no tech
...do I really need to tell regulars that that sorta innuendo isn't allowed.
Which SR pr7 ship has highest print priority?
Bayard
nice thanks
Thanks
how many portlands is max tech portland vs no tech portland is probably what im interested in more
sorry ]:
OH SHIT I NEED TO NORMALIZE THIS
what did you do, was it the sync thingy

realistically not a lot
like for reference for CAs the difference is 4 EVA and 128 HP
Oh thankfully that's not a lot.
That 4 Eva probably makes more difference than anything else
I'll do that right now actually, because it's in my best interest.
for BC it's 18 EVA nvm it's just vanguards
is high tech kinda required to one shot this meta
the high-end cv example have soy at 17 BB RLD
well even the best comps don't have much in damage leeway for this one
but the issue is more down to keeping concealment
even when i keep conceal down, i cant seem to get enough dmaage
You also need high AA
if using CV yes
It seems nothing short of 3x 57 is enough to keep the CVs concealed with the typical frontline
not even a typical frontline
is the CM unlocked already or smth?
Is this 100% true facts?
Eva is correct
you pretty much have to have an AA Carry in the vanguard to maintain conceal consistently if you don't have any intercepting aircraft
HP idk cos lol
I pulled it from Lars' tech calc
what are some options
if anything is wrong blame him
Z52 would pretty much be the best choice

apparently like this is enough
Up till z52 came out
We were floating the idea of Shimanto lel
Dafaq
Damn
2lb z52 
what? mog 2 +13 HPAAR?
behold
that looks cursed
+10 is enough but I'm using 1 radar + fargo drone now
i don't think even cheeky would +13 air radar
Holy crap it's Z52
French Z52
who knows
anyways i forgot to cancel the run so testing tmo
I still have it set to a slow comp pretty much though
fast comps I just find don't work that well unless you're going for 4 strikes
just asking did you barely one shot it
does mean though Mogador dying can cost you a one shot

I've one shot like maybe 3/4 times out of 18 or something so far
Is it possible to somewhat sync Mogador's stab with her torpedo launch?
the comp can do it, just not consistently
so what im hearing is to just go for 2 shot
you could but Unzen is the better recipient of that
Tf u guys need so many AA for
that or Helena
to hide girls from maihou
Yeah I meant just change Mogador's torpedo that's all
repair ships
i only one shot with 3 proc helena
now you just gave me a good idea
well trying to sync Mogador as well could cost Unzen her own torp damage which is not preferable is what I'm saying
I can tell this is gonna end well.....
Just use a normal figther on implacable
I tried that, not quite enough damage to one shot with a Flapjack
pretty sure that's what Jimmy used
Still haven't gotten revealed 
once again, I am too poor to go for 4 airstrikes
a normal fighter with a rainbow aa on moggy and kazegumo should be fine
I'm not saying it isn't enough to keep conceal, it is
Portland EVATech: 101.59
Portland HPTech: 102.12
Portland MaxTech: 103.75
I'm saying that the loss in damage from going from La-9 to Flapjack is costing me too much damage to one shot
, truly a non oath problem
And people say this game is f2p
I was oneshotting decently consistently with Jimmy
what is that purple plane?
Fulmar
like, I could believe it was I was only about 5 bars off from my runs using his set ups
fulmar tech ok ok
Most consistent is Helena then
How ironic lol
and what was the fighter on implac again?
You can get at least a 60-70%
I'm gonna wait to see how Z-52 goes before throwing in the towel
They also use Eugen as 100.14%
Well it's still better than RodM I assume
That one was basically impossible to 1 shot without Unzen no?
Moggy and z52 aren't that much off , at least when they tested it

interesting use case of bearcat
i too love point reacting myself
and then removing it to pretend like it never happened
the .14 deeply upsets my brain

I have no idea why it's that way.
is it maybe bc non tech is 100% idk how these things work
how's this working out for you
80% give or take

CA tech ~2%, so not 0.14% :mutsuki:
The hard part is syncing unzen torp with mogador
that's not really an issue with quints I think but 80% isn't really better than 3 strike
IT ENDS AT CA TECH
So what happened to 95% win rate
suchispotted
It dropped as I did more runs 


what else should i be buying from the event shop?
Check the pins
are there any Maintenance later ?
8h maintenance starts in 5 hours
8h?
8 hours, yes
8h for new skins is crazy
that is what the announcement says in #game-news
plus 3d noshiro
It is possible (or even likely) that they're doing other things during the 8-hour downtime. Database backups, for example, might be easier if done when you know nobody is logged in, so you do them when you're taking the servers down for an update anyway.
well according to the JP patch notes they're probably adding some stuff for the next patch this patch because of the new year
like the augments for Ying Zwei and Chao Ho as well the Commission event
How do i get more gem commissions?
farm 2-1/c1 opsi
There's no way to guarantee more
luck
You want more gems, you push campaign
is that not the way anymore
Gem commissions are a random thing that has a very small appearance anytime you run a map. We have no information on drop rates, so no way of knowing whether there are any specific maps that are better for it. So, play the game a lot is the best advice we can give.
You already pushed campaign all the way? You whale
c1 opSi is strictly for endless levelling
Manjuu appreciates your financial support. They are the Chinese Bernie Sanders.
commissions are a bonus from c1
it's worth acknowledging but doing c1 for them alone isnt worth it
farm C1 but the trade offer is your sanity
C1 is better than 2-1 back in the day
not a trade off if you didn't have any to begin with 
at least you can let it repeat itself
@slow fox 超巡 is CB, 重巡 is CA tho
And 阿芙乐尔 is avrora not aurora
also if you insist on doing low oil campaign for gem comm chances you might as well do it when farming something else - 3-4 if you need akaga for collection, 6-4 for yuudachi, 6-x for low cost purple plates
don't just stick to 2-1 like a dummy 
actually if you're at a point where you go to 2-1 everything else is practically useless
I'd rather fish for grey plates in 2-1 than try for purples higher
2-x can be considered once ur an actual endgame player, until then it's better to at least dual-farm something when fishing for comms like c1 or 6-x
that said I'm not even sure if CN botters do ch2 anymore
idk
i do think it's still worth doing if you want more cube/gem chances to the exclusion of everything else, but the tradeoffs need to be acknowledged and understood
Thank you
Riceist put it best, you would be better off working minimum wage at an actual job and using your pay check to buy gems than farm 2-1 for it
the returns are just that poor
which is why I just buy my gems 
you doing something with CN stuff?
Thanks to dfg, I've obtained CN eHP. I've translated their eHP document, and I'm comparing their findings with mine.
ah
1: Their process is similar to eHP2. (taking arithmetic average of uptime)
2: They put hitshields at ~10 to ~20% DmgRed (their calculation doesn't include average damage of enemy bullets, I think)
3: They account for slashes (not sure how they do it yet)
4: Their considerations are for max tech
5: They use Eugen as 100.14
is it the one they have on wiki
It is NOT.
The one they have on the wiki is made by someone who refuses to share his methods.
mind sharing or is it going to be on eHP chart
I'd be grateful for a translation of these columns in context of the sheet. teehee
In 'compute' page
what guns are good on agir
305 from PR4 
first 3
no including burns, ramming, fixed HP (probably like Laffey II)
not including vs FP / TRP / AVI
what's a suggested formation for queen elizabeth META?
next 3 is including fixed HP
pretty much every CB gun except brest's gun
guam gun > kronshtadt gun > aegir gun for AP
azuma gun is their only option for HE lol. for now
What's the pre-req for unlock the event' SP stage?
complete D3
the last 3 is probably something related to actual eHP but I can't tell from the table because the data is completely broken in opencalc 
3 CV OR 3 BB with any META on the frontline nowadays
back then, Renown, Souryuu, Helena METAs were the go to choices. Nowadays, Jintsuu and Wichita METAs are also available for you to do Queen Elizabeth META with
I must be derping. I only see B3.
there's a toggle on the bottom left
you can swap the difficulty from Normal to Hard on the bottom left
Hard is D3
There's the derp. Thank you.
it's a new thing, so it's just growing pains 
You know what, I shd just pin that here since it's pinned in al-gen
Q. How do I switch to Hard Mode?
jintsuu meta? did i perhaps miss that time. i dont see it on the meta ships
she's the META that succeeded Algerie META's run. She'll be there once the Dossier is updated next time, probably after Taihou META's run. Though it is possible for her rerun to be delayed because of devs and gaem balans 
got ya, its just odd bc a year ago i was still playing. it was only earlier this year that i stopped for a bit, because i do see algerie meta on my account
Jin meta was December 2023 iirc
even if i wasnt playing at that time they should still show, right?
dossier shows the METAs up to Algerie META atm
Okay thank you, cause yeah this is all I get for mine
😳
me when 4 radar, i got my ceiling
wife
that feels kind of...disappointing 
121k seems low for Ply for some reason, especially with 4 procs. Does she have a +13 gun?
i could improve this with more +13s but i think itll just be a 1.3 at max
+10 plygun, crescent aux
i dont have enough gun plates for +13 
plenty of time to improve
What gun does Musashi have?
well actually i have the blanks i havent used since the beginning
time to work on your Hit Tech, and RLD Tech
i can prob make some changes
mainly swapping in less survivability
before you ask no i dont have a daisen gun yet
there isn't a lot of pressure on vanguards so ya
you have Amagi CV and Shinano yeah?
amagi isnt 125 yet
take the UR CV pill
Lv 120?
even if not 125 should would still do better than this
120 yes
good enough
maintank plymouth and run sth with dmg imo
CVs are bound to be better since the TBs focus on Taihou herself. BBs wouls just aim 2 of their shots onto the trash mobs Taihou summons throughout the fight.
not to mention they just do less damage against heavy armor to begin with
I think it will be hard without proper stopper
AvP is rly bad vs heavy 
Ark Royal plus Eldridge will be good enough
plus Eldridge can take care of most of the AA needs
Another issue is u need CV rld to sync to helena
i can cook something hold on
well there BBs aren't syncing that well to begin with...
you've also got Musashi using HE which is her absolute weakest
unironically, one big damage boost to the fleet would be moving Musashi off flag in that set up
seems like it
@sweet delta Do you think I should steal CN damage distributions?
14-4 Boss 45/45/10, FP/TRP/AVI
FP 0.36/0.62/1, H/M/L
TRP 0.6/0.8/0.1
AVI 0.65/0.82/0.98
14-4 Mob 40/30/30
FP 0.5/0.75/1
TRP 1.2/0.9/0.7
AVI 1.3/1/0.8
15-4 Boss 25/15/60
FP 0.36/0.62/1
TRP 1.22/1/0.88
AVI 0.65/0.82/0.98
(CN testing apparently)
feel like Musashi would fair better with any AP Gun at this point too
