Skyraider is really shit against Taihou
Help ldplayer stuck loading on 94%
If Enty Fires first before YT2 would her planes still get buffed or nah?
she'll get thrown off timing by Yorktown II's skill
Also is Skyraider Gud For Campaign?
no
Is this a good timing for both?
You don't care about timing for enterprise, as long as she is slower you are good
And there is no point of timing if you don't have ships like Ark Royal
Does anyone here have a full fleet for W15 clear? I wanna look what ships yall usin to use as references
there is if he's using Helena and Yorktown pushes Enterprise ahead of buff window
not like he can fix it lol
My Uni is like 2 seconds ahead of The Both of em
Wat dat?
when you request support from your friend guild and the world
Oh
Use the w15 command in bot spam
this is what i used and its a little dicey at times but kinda works sometimes
get Indomie another Breguet or Wyvern if you can
Fortunately I have everyone... Unfortunately I didn't have eldridge's retro item 
I like how in that specific event I had a final test in uni lmaoo
breguet doesn't do anything on Indomitable there
wyvern is purely an AVI buff
it cannot intercept?
ah yea without eld retro itll be harder but people got through with less 
only fighters launch intercept from support fleet
note that i dont have guam or laff2 here
Guam and Laffey II isn't needed for ch15 so yeh
Just use Guam Sandy Laffey if you have them 
either one of those can probably replace eld and do fine if not better

they're great for the chapter but they're not needed
GPH in a nutshell. Anyway, thanks everyone, I now know roughly on who imma use for W15 
Both can be true ?
You don't need them but they are one of the best options
Overkill is always fine here, as long there resources 
if you have them go for it
What are you using for that? (The loadout thingy)
if you don't then just know we cleared 15 before they existed
But im just curious, why is it not needed? does it mean like they're not necessary?
Thanks
not needed to clear, as seen from my fleet
yes, not crucial/essential/etc
Noted.
my fleet works just that i dont like how it works only 70% of the time 
W15 was released before some of the newer BBs and GuamxLaffey. You can pull off a lot of bullshit still
Like Yatsen Sandy Harbin was my clear fleet 
Oh yeah.... I forgot how long has it been since the release of W15 lmaoo. My lazy ass always forgot to do it 
Sandy also didn't have her augment back then
Shimanto also didn't yet have FS
Does hidden CV backline does moar dmg to enemies compared to detected CV backline?
watch italy UR become the new staple for w15
A lot more
so trivializing something that's already trivial
How much moar?
Depends™️
i wouldn't consider w15 as "trivial"
i wouldnt mind italian sandy 
they pierce 10% of the reduction the enemy would get from its AA stat so it somewhat depends
depends on their aa
for example against taihou meta its something like 30%ish more dmg vs revealed
15 was already trivialized with addition of Guam, Laffey II, Sandy augment and Shimanto FS at least, if not anything else in the past year or so, sure the new UR can make it even easier, but it's not really difficult at this point
Isn't that depends on the enemies state instead of our backline?
it depends on the enemy aa as umi said
yes it depends on the enemy aa
Most of endgame bosses have decent aa , so it's always very noticeable when you don't have conceal
w15 is easy if you have everything best for w15, who wouldve thought 
Deym 30% moar dmg
not really difficult
choice of viable ships are not more than 10 of their respective role
easy to say it's nothing difficult if you have everything in the game
not to mention the +13 gear and shit you need
It's a fuck ton harder when it's released , it's not that bad anymore
Once I Finish Roon's Xp Gathering Using Z23 and Z1 I shud replace em right?
you can get em to 120 for fp tech and tech for fdg
what's the oldest phone specs now that can run AL without shitting bricks 
my iphone 12 went toaster mode every time i farmed w12 and eventually broke probably because of all the farming 
yea mine overheats aswell
long auto opsi or plane hell is a no go 
guess the answer is no then
this is why i only have AL on my pc now and run bluestacks w15 at 5-10 fps 
idk my iphone 13 didn't go toaster mode when I farm w13
I dug out my 10-year old surface so I don't need to be stuck with only my phone screen when traveling but I guess it's not going to run AL 
windows alone already takes up like 40% of the tab's 64GB storage and 2GB RAM 
surfaces do struggle a lot
but I guess it means I can use it do light surfing while playing on my phone then
Bruh just use battery saving mode
does it even save anything
it just throttles your CPU like crazy
maybe one day we'll get old water
Who have priority for the twin 100mm
My older XR runs AL just fine
well my phone only has like 8 times the RAM and double the cores so yes I'll just figure out something else for it 
Androids 
How does the using storage space as expanded RAM works?
I mean how is it a thing that come with newer phones
thats not really a gph question but it does basically exactly what it says on the tin, it uses the physical storage space of your phone as a set of virtual memory which is only really used if you were to otherwise exceed the RAM you already have - because virtual memory is slower
your dd/cl that have good gun damage, like sandy or ddg etc
I think about putting it on Laffey2
laffey2 does not exactly have good gun damage
not the worst but not the priority user
will doing the sign in with the yostar email where you put in the email, get a code, and input a code. is that all I need to do for if the game gets uninstalled, I can reinstall and get my account back
that will work with any of the other bindings
better to bind your account to some of the others too
for quests of this kind, its the best to run whole team of Iron Blood ships on low rank stages or there is some other way?
backlines all iron blood + in w12-4 or w12-1
So Yuudachi
The British gear lab gun
your sandiego gear choice is certainly something
aside from the aa rudder and aug the rest is a little bit 
main gun should be an fp gun because i heard her bug is still there
the torp should be a quad mag since it is tech box one and tung is a 5y old player so it should be easily obtainable and the last aux the radar isn't used in a place where u need sandy i think
the bug is not as bad as people make it out to be (or at least twin 100 doesn't seem to suffer from it as much as we initially thought)
i used sandy a lot in opsi mobbing and didn't notice her missing barrage stars with it all that often
Wut bug?
sandy's barrage seems to be getting cut off when using a main gun that fires too fast (think 76mm blue and the british 113)
no i have not done testing
What's wrong with the radar?
overkill mainly
I put Sandy on 13-4 hard daily auto
ok
Okay so I will put the twin 100mm on and use the quad magnetic torp
Which blueprints should i get here? I'm a newbie so idk the good ships here 😅
Just ignore that for now if you haven't gotten to W9-12 yet
well i mean exchanging it now has zero difference anyway
You’re always going to want to use them on some of the leftmost ships. But at this point I’d just sit on it.
but primarily only these two, usually the green hair cat
Use PR7 prints on PR7
Shud I get more Anchorage Prints? (Or other gold shipyard ships)
Use PR7 prints on PR7
Then which of the pr7 ships should I get with the gold GBP?
No one wait until you can d30 something to eliminate
You are like 6 months too early to actually think about shipyard ships
Also, It's worth to spend 5 cubes on Roon Right?
i mean you're probably gonna spend them sooner or later, it depends on how many cubes you got rn
as long as you have 400+ you're safe for any new UR, if below that number be frugal with them
127
keep them
why do you have so little cubes
surely you'e been playing more than a month by now...
Oh wait, I can buy more with the commisions-
That is still RNG
I forgor to buy em
BUY?
yes the commission exchange thing
there's a commission event shop...
Oh that event
bruh
I cleared the shop so I forgot about it
Mi got to 197 neow
You are still not safe, but the rate in AL is fair
But last time I need to hit pity for Amagi CV
Which is 400 cubes
Mi quite lucky anyways, If I remember correctly I got two Yt2 before 100 pulls (last event)
^ watch this statement bite you in the ass
Nah I believe

And I literally joined last month too-
good luck 👍🏼
Would take it
The foreshadowing
I mean, if it would take 100 pulls, I'm close to 200, so I can pull it off 
Wdym?

Gotta knock on wood and pray to RNGesus
-# I mean, I did kill Hornet over and over again as a ritual to get Yt2 on da Port

I'm lucky in AL but in other games my luck is ass-
In AL you don't live pull to pull like in other gacha
Tru, In other games I pull whenever, But In AL, I save up.. Which I really should do in other games
AL will just practically shove you will pulls as long as you manage it, you only play for like one month
Didn't new players get like 200 cubes at the start?
I was dum before joining the discord server, and spent it on Specials/Heavy/light other than the event banner, now I'm saving
I feel like coins are a much more important currency than cube
You only need to do 1 pull on Light banner daily
Because you are not a new player
I'm doing that already, before I spent it on anything..
Just do 12-4
early game ya, late game you can't get rid of the shit
12-4 is my life now
When there is event you pull on event, when there isn't event you pull on Light, there is nothing else to pull when there aren't event anyway
It’s still not enough
Then you aren’t grinding hard enough
I would have grinded more had they gave more oil

Just need to cut down on expenses a bit if needed. Hold off on that awakening. Maybe postpone that retrofit a bit. Maybe drop down to just the freebies for coining research. Prioritize Q research and avoid G/D researches.
grind of 9-1 asap then, or d maps on archives or something
was that gear skin box that important? why yes, yes it was
Hey, where I can find a guide for world 15? I'm struggling to beat 15-2 and I can't even imagine how harder 15-3 and 15-4 are going to be.
i was pitying all ur banners from alsace to yk2 beside musasi
i was literally getting 12h researches
imo that is the only way u can cry in no
situation other than that play normally and u should be fine
/w15
This is a guide for world 15
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15
15-2 boss is a little bit weird
put a rudder on the flagship
Ohhh okay
Ohhhhh
Thanks, I'll take a look to this guide
For PR1 should I develop izumo or ibuki first?
Is ulrich von hutten good compared to other BBs?
yeah
it depends on what you mean, she'll be better than other SSR BB, but UR BB are a different story 
Are there any aux that have "deal more damage to siren" skill?
Well technically every single one does when you +13
Hmm
Damn ok
what’s being added to gear lab
rainbow aa

a gold ASW plane and gold Iron Blood Fighter
along with PR gear and the Italians
This is the other purple ASW plane right
that's in Core, right?
yes
mildly curious what the G-3 will do 
Is next event ur
more than likely
not this MT though, but next MT
after this MT its just a prelude event
we have a stream in like 3 days check the stream waiting room for your local time 
https://www.youtube.com/live/5z-BOBkxBiU
Of course it's 3AM for me.
At least on the east coast it starts at a semi-reasonable time.
i mean...you could just sleep and watch it in the morning
That's what I normally do
week end for me its ... complicated, i need money and week end i work 72h straight
so i cannot watch probally
sad
is azuma gun PR2 prints only
yuh

well its also in gear lab too
are u aiming to get tech for haku
?
What is the best way to spend coins thats not cats? Already done the rerolls+bought all 15 boxes for today
CB guns are BB caliber right
?
BC/BB
cuz CB are a gray line between CAs and BCs
What are you supposed to put on the support carrier fleet btw
Fighters
it's a bad localization. supposed to be large aka arcing
best fighter slot number
Figheters/TB for AVI Stat padding/Steam catapult/steam catapult
I don't remember, but Wyverns also intercept when in support right?
well that's for depot filters, for lab I don't think they thought ahead for adding old research gear and it's labelled by hull lol
Nope
only fighters
but yeh I'm gearing my not-FS5 Azuma while leveling 
So basically anything as long as the numbers are large?
You want large amounts of fighters with a high efficiency
well the best u can have now is 2 slots
8 fighters > 6/5 > 4
fritz lusty indomi indep i think 
fritz is giga cracked that she can carry half the mob fleet aa alone i think
Isn't that only 6 fighter though
This is what I used but I think Hwah Jah is better then Indom
But I didn't have her levelled
Pretty sure 6 fighters is the highest amount any CV can have
esp considering that most CVs have 8 and some UR CVs have 9 planes total
Yeah I ain't doing this anytime soon then, only indo and fritz now that fit this
Fritz literally has 8 fighters lol
oh waith yeah Fritz has 8 lol
Just use Illustrious then if you dont have Implacable
lusty muse can be used too i think 
nvm remembered it wrong
Fritz booted Illustrious since Indomitable has higher eff than Illustrious
i used langley 
Wait, doesn't Yt2 also carry a bunch of fighters
she can only have 5 fighters
2 at 120% eff and 3 at 135% eff
compared to Illustrious having 135% eff on all 6 of her fighters
If you want something that's better then these URs, like I said just use Hwah Jah she has 6 fighters at 150% eff and a stupidly high 160 RLD or something
Wait, what about.....
Nevermind she has 197 RLD lol I was a bit off
level her for the rld
for me i had to have giga cracked aa to be able to shoot down planes because of the fps issues
i used her though and in the giga cv nodes i didn't shoot down any plane 
Damn I should have picked hwah jah back then then
Though jk aside I might go with indo-fritz-illustrous later on and see how it goes
Only 15-1 it shouldn't be that bad rite?
I mean I did world 15 the other week for the first time and with this fleet I was able to 3 star lethal every single map, 'fleet 5' can literally kill every single mob+boss node and only have to have 2nd fleet do 1 or 2 fights depending on the world
tbh 'fleet 4' can be all crossfleet at this point lol
will the new tenrai cost prints or ordinance?
You need a healer for boss?
Dat crazy
True, but the only issue I had was that on 15-4 I had fleet 4 only do 1 boss fight, so because fleet 5 did every other node possible when I did the last boss fight it sadly did it with less then 1m left
No one knows yet
Not necessarily
Percy also has a healing xfleet
Find out in 12-15 hours
very high chance itll be ords given its a prototype gear and its research, tho
I’m so exited, I can’t wait for the AA gun to be ass
Message unclear, make it the mosted busted thing to be added since oil caps
percy is very good in 15-4 mob boss mob but other than that she is meh
better to use an actual cv for the bossing team or most of the time it isn't relevant
it sets oil cost to 0?
I guess I will have to go for zuihou uni for mob then
Zuihou is good if you have 3 dd mob
Do you not have Aquila?
No
3 destroyers, like... z52 eld laffey2 etc
it happens that the tanky DDs are also good at AA
but u just need to have them
laff eld z52
Well technically I have felix
thats not recommended for w15
It is funny how busted Z52 is, great AA, great dmg, not too bad tanky wise and great supports with +5% dmg for whole fleet basically

flagship cover and shredding with her barrage and aoa
great asw too
Not even Jervis and mogardo?
Why would they be good in w15
mogadoro will melt instantly i think dunno about jervis
By now I'm just listing any remotely tanky dd I could think of
jervis sure, shes pretty decent in w15, but i think i specifically said felix not good XD
she is?
its not the tanky dd, its the tanky dd that do damage + aa + asw
theres a tierlist linked in /w15 that rates ships performance in w15
Does anyone know when 556 meta will rerun?
Reruns with Bismarck zwei event
yeah jervis should work though, nice small heals, good asw, half ass aa though, ofc decent is not good, or great...
not good or great is passable imo
decent should be above good
...I gotta wait a year? Fuck
oh i thought decent is less than good tbh, above average is what i call decent
She may or may not be this year 
As a native englisher, I would agree
I am not here for Schröndinger's waifu
she's the next rerun after implac, so it would be this year
BRB gonna rage
why rage for a rerun that will happen in the next 6 months 
Is VV worth Awakening pass 120?
no
What is rumey usage? Outside of being in w15 support fleet with her double fighter loadout
Med+light bosses
also good as surface cv in w15 overall not only support
I have a question, Does Enty Want Slow But Beeg Dmg Or Something in the middle like Fast and deals a lot of Dmg?
she wants uh good gear
Cuz I'm probably gonna put a Skyraider On Her, Cuz Of her Skill
helldiver might be better
put skyraider on her when its good
her skill doesnt magically turn bad gear into good gear
her skill just scales good gear even harder
Is Skyraider bad??
not good for campaign
More like moderately niche
against heavy its worse than a purple hell diver
gear is situational
But if it's not heavy, it's better?
yes, much
non heavy bossing
not campaign
Yeh, I'm Using it for bossing, I'm at 11-4 rn tryna 100% but I literally have no Oil Left, No mail no nothing
well early bossing light/med campaigns its fine
When does the boss of campaign have Heavy armor?
Check wiki
And bombs have more aoe
13-4 and iirc a few of the stages in W14-15
So it's still safe to use Skyraider for bosses on 13-3? If 13-4 switch?
13-4, and then theres high prio targets that need to be taken down besides bosses in stages above
at that point I'd prob switch off to a different DB since Skyraider is pretty slow
If I get a better DB, Or something
skyraider is slow and lacks some aoe
Unless this changes dramatically, I might be stuck using Skyraider until 13-4 (I forgot to change the helldiver on yt2 cuz of Taihou META)
igonoring Helldiver cuz purple
Have you started PR gear research yet?
I have, pr4
Helldiver still the 2nd best +10 DB for AoE
and 3rd best for ST
Yeah, PR4, And cuz I haven't gotten enough prints yet
Ohh I see, in a month or two I estimate from experience about 1 or 2 rudders. You should experience a good bump in your equipment from there on
Not even talking about rainbow gear cause that takes about a month per DR whatever
I don't really have a lot of thingys from OpSI to even start thinking of doing Gear Lab Currently
u can move to PR7 gears and do ur PR4 ships normally, but keep doing PR4 isnt much a thing
Fair enough tbh, but it also doesn't hurt to try op si just for the books and resources too. Even if you can get the bare minimum from it
cuz PR4 is entirelly coinable
I'll probably switch to PR7 when the Gear lab update is here..
hi im relatively new and im confused why i cant get this retrofit node for laffey? am i being stupid
click the + at the bottom
Look at bottom , you need to use a bulin
Oh okay thank you
Put Skyraider on ship with preload like Perseus and do Exercise and watch she snipe Laff2, Z52 and any popular light armor pick
That still is 2 +10 Helldiver above you
, could have waited 1 more year to oath
what
that laffey skin is the oath skin, and the only one with retro is the laffey 1
not relevant to their question and oathing for stats is a dangerous game
Yeah that's my point, we have no business telling people who to oath
Gamer is implying that guy should had wait for Laff2
Oath'ing for stats is a mess especially for main fleet ships, it basically turns into, "you can't oath just 1"

Ah yes put a DB on Perseus
i think hes talking abt perseus 2 
Sorry I mean the F6 with HVAR
f6 hvar isnt sniping anything in pvp
It did
Already happened
Try it against a meta composition and watch it do jack shit
take me back to the days of Corgi sniping
corgi sniping enty 
CV pvp in the big 25 is crazy
as you can clearly see, percy with hvar didnt do anything
im confused why hvars when every backline is med/heavy
they say it can snipe meta frontlines
Because light armor like laff2 and z52 exist
how do you snipe laff2 and eld with prowler
and you know that pvp front line is stupidly fast right
yeah might as well just go with alsace soy tbh... preload cv is history now
My original point is HVAR is not bad
But I messed up between the Skyraider and F6F
All backline is fucking triple BB now
we're talking abt campaign
which you almost always wont use rocket fighters
Okay
does foxfleet in pvp even use hvars
I don't know I don't even use foxes
could anyone help me gear prinz eugen, hindenburg, z52 and deutchland for 12-4 farming?
standard loadouts
unimproved quad mags
says standard and proceeds to toss on 6 diffrant UR gear piece's 😭
i do not have any of the UR gears mentioned
ight
Use gold quad 40mm
nor the yellow bird thing
It is just 12-4, you don't need the rainbow.yet
almost like outright recommending event limited gear isn't a good thing 
im sure youll live
If don't have British 113mm, use the blue 76mm
this is the only kind of UR gear i have
is that hindy with an aa gun 
Show us your current gear on ships
idk about this Desu ...
if u gona use AP on her, just 283
wdym the ones i mentioned?
i mean.... its 12-4 , i forgot if you needed good aa
You don't need the best gear to farm chapter 12
u dont even need gear to farm 12-1
Yeah on the ship that you mentioned
just auxes on vanguard and a main fleet geared
What is the enemy level on w12 again
this is the only one that has gear xD
maybe throw in a rudder + tk
This picture filled me with rage
am sorry i dont have enough gear to keep ships geard at all times 😭
She is also at level cap
am broke-
don't have gear and have D30 hindy doesn't compute
d30?
Development LV 30
oh yeah-
in simple words i wiped my pc and lost all presets-
i mean you can just open some boxes... grind some opsi to make some gear in gear lab... do q researches
Washing machine should be easy to get
i do opsi often trying to get as much as i can out of it i need to later update my fleet cuz of some PR ships i finished
its W12 farm, just go without guns in VG and if u main are geared, u gona do fine
yes, great start, keep going and i trust you will be fully geared in no time xd
just gear with auxes on VGs and will work fine
I mean, that is a d30 Hindenburg, this guy definitely can put some gear on her
only two of those ships should even be permanently equipped and hindy is even questionable so you're just going to have to work through some temp gear setups.
i mean this is just to get the 2 vanguard UR's leveld as well as roon battle data
yeah thin kit works, put z52 in the front and deutch in the middle and i think 12-4 is easy enough
u definetly dosnt need gear in VG to this work
Some toolkits and rudders would go a long, long way tho.
You can put Deutschland away and put Nimi in that slot
It is just w12
(even tho i sould lvl sum more ships ima just make the bosses death clean and fast)
main is so boosted that will work even without gear in VG
I don't use Amagi CV, does she need flag?
nimi?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
i have her there since my egal union battle data for vanguard farm
z23

i mean i just wanna lvl deutchland to lvl 100 and z23 is already 100 and retored
You are farming exp for Roon yes?
yes and ship exp for mob fleet
Meh whatever, you will probably be fine
We should see results in like 10 minutes
If you start auto now
Desu = FP tech, so gud tech to farm
same applies to Z23
Let fuck around and find out
Yep I was wrong about the HVAR
It does jackshit against actual comp
uh where do i get these? (totaly not missing 3)
uh do i comit this for 3 torps?
100+3 and 0+3 will have different feedback
for 12-4 i would say cope with what you have. especially if agir isn't geared for meta and just has random stuff
said ägir:
well too bad she's fine. i guess you can make another triple mag for anchorage 
Whats the meta for ägir then-?
I got more quintuple magnetic than Quad magnetic from box
you've got the resources to spare probably
i said it was fine. if you had a quad mag on her you would strip her and raise a triple mag but you already did so too bad. nothing you can do about the aa gun and auxes from boxes...
Your Agir is perfectly fine
(Totaly not favoritism towards one ship)
i mean beaver isn't great on her? if you really love her where's the rudder.
So you want Roon to replace someone in the fleet or just collection(like the ship, fleet tech)
Why I can't go rank up?
Gotta fulfill 2 requirements post-captain: points and rank. Need to be top 1000 with enough points.
Do you want to talk about that over cap amount of coin?
Or just go grind it
And oil
Collection trying to finish the last 2 ships from pr 1 to move to finishing other prs as well
kill em all
With the oil and coin cap you're probably somewhere around lv90
Damn I don't have the channel in here
Maybe roles
san diego really good?
yes
mob/boss fleet for sandy
She can be use anywhere
ok
Hey chat, about Sandy aug gear
What is this about using a gun that shoot too fast will make her barrage bug?
sometimes it won't shoot one of the barrage bullets
it's not like she's a turd because of it
the standard dd gun fine?
She isn't but the gun is so the solution is just use another gun
What gun is a turd?
I not gonna fix my mistake
Is there an official or like most preferred tier list wesite i always used Slaimuda cause i thought that was the only one but i've seen others used different websites
/tierlist

rudder though

MEOWFFICER QUICK GUIDE
What are Meowfficers?
They are companions that you can add up to 2 per fleet (including sub fleets). They buff your fleets with their "skills" and "talents". There are 27 different types of them.
How do I get them?
You get them by opening Cat Boxes in the Cattery. The Cattery can be found under HQ > Cat Lodge. The first Cat Box you buy everyday is free. You can buy up to 14 more per day, with each costing 1500 Gold. It is strongly recommended you do NOT binge on them!
How do I level them?
Just like ships, they gain experience when sortied. They do not cost oil, however their exp gain is dependent on the oil spent by the fleet. They max out at level 30. You can also level them by feeding other meowfficers to them, at about 30% exp loss (20% bonus if identical). Additionally they can gain levels passively through Comf-Forts.
What are talents?
Talents buff a specific ship type or faction. They get 1-3 permanent talents, depending on rarity.. Every 5 levels they gain, they get a Cat Paw which can be used to roll new talents or raise the level of some talents. You can reroll any new talents once every 24h with gold (increases with number of talents).
What are skills?
Skills are unique to each type of Meowfficer. They usually give some stat buff or some perk to the fleet. They get 1 skill initially, and they can get up to 3 skills, each obtained by feeding duplicates (1 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd). The potency of the skills is dependent on their stats which increase through levels.
Do note that the skill stat buffs are mostly inferior to talent stat buffs.
Visit the AL Wiki Page on Meowfficers for more details.
Cat Guide by Riceist#3504 for detailed explanation of skills and talents.
jiro and eagle is all that i know 

nyah
So the 152mm AP is general use because it have AP shell?
And the 155mm Kai is great at killing suicide boat?
is this for secondary gun on a bb
?
Yes
as far as i know the neptune gun is faster but the damage per shot is weaker
usually u just put the 155 non kai on them as a standard gearing for most of everything
155kai is better in w14, iirc 155 is better in w15
im told little text boxes exist if you click on them once
if you double click you can get the wiki page of the gear
the wiki page hardly tells you anything other than the stats
For OpS, once you clear all 72 zones monthly and out of coordinates, should I just go around near the middle (Corrosion level 6) and spam there?
Do daily missions, reserve a few hundred AP in boxes for future coordinates, and farm corrosion 3 or 5
Whats the secret to newcastle challenge? Is her jug a different armor type?
3 or 5 because of reward per AP efficiency?
I really want to get a lot more gold T4 parts for upgrades. I try to be stingy but after upgrade an item or two they're all gone again 
They give the same cat nodes as 4 or 6 respectively while being cheaper. Gold plates have a small chance of dropping from cat nodes
It seems that the guide does not say the Jug has light armor. But you can infer that by the sentence about HE vanguard guns
I did it in about 7:30 with kear yorkie and biz. Break the jug with bb and vanguard. Send in the HVAR immediately after jug destruction.
Oh I didn't know that, thank you. I'll stop doing 6 and spam 5 then if they'll give me same T4 parts anyway!
If it possible to get 2 of the same meta ship
baased on my UR's should i be focusing on agir or fdg?
U can just coin them anyway 
game is very strict in how this works if you don't have the Meta MLB it converts subsequent copies into Crystals, after the Meta is MLB or you have enough Crystals for MLB then anything past that gets turned into Frags.
2free daily for both pr and dr
well yea but i dont have any PR's to coin, the ones i got are fate simmed, just wondering if i should be prioritzing fdg or agir first..
FdG would be my rec as well
agir doesnt need dev30 to work, FdG does
I would also save UR bulins for new UR (probably next event) and not NJ
Oh ya NJ not mlb....next time don't lb if U can't mlb...unless it's from dupe
FdG is still one of the strongest easily attainable, and easy to raise BBs you can get, hard to beat that...
is agir usable at dev25 or something?
she has all of her bulk at D25 and since her main value is her tankiness, she's technically useable at that point
tho of course D30 asap still strongly reccomended since you get more tech points and she can benefit from any Cruiser Fleet tech you have
ty
Are those class books one time use
the skill books you use to upgrade skills? Yes
Why else would you be able to get multiple of them
Damn
Half my dock is filled with commons, but I cant seem to feed them to any ships nor retire them, and they're not locked, any suggestions?
are they over lvl 1
What's it supposed to do
akashi node sells you stuff
I done everything and it's the same
sells good stuff...sometimes
that message itself is misleading. her shop doesnt actually change based on what you clear.
ok and enhance screen?
did you configure quick retire settings?
on any ship?
that has an enhance screen
wait I think it got fixed
And i assume FdG needs to be maxed out to be useable
well Dev 30, but ya
?
Isnt there something after dev30 that you need to max out aswell
F5 ya, but Fred is completely viable at Dev 30, and F5 isn't that large an upgrade
granted it's still a good upgrade for Fred
she needs d30 to do good
In terms of Dmg, Would Yt2 Be Better than An Enty Buffed By Her?
enty might be able to do more if she procs owarida, yk2 is better in terms of consistent damage
Slot efficiency matters in support fleet?
I don't feel like there's any ship in the game that would outdamage Enterprise if you get consistent Lucky E proc's
broke ass skill
I'm pretty sure all top comps will out do Enterprise even with 100% proc on her skill
"comps" but not one to one?
well in the sense that Enterprise can't recieve buffs from like Shinano or Amagi for instance

What are the most useful Meta ships in anyone's opinion?
practical use? probably something like M Jintsuu, M Helena, or M Wichita, outside of that it breaks down to what useful tech can they give 
i'm trying to burn coin. These slow weeks it's piling up
starred up M Helena. That burnt 15k or so
here's the relevant Metas based on tech 
kirov meta has 15% damage buff so
one time damage buff
but thats kinda it
what's a UE?
Unique Equipment
oh, yeah, i was looking into that too. I did ibuki's aug
I'm at a point where I just throw a dart 
i'm kinda that way with purple limit breakers. I could check how hard it is to find copies.... but I get enough LBs not to worry much about it
if im at 9300 for Tahoiu meta do i have time to get 4 other copies for MLB before she ends
just so u know dont lb unless u can mlb, unless dupe
when does it end?
8 days to unlock 21 days to MLB 
oh wait research right mb xD
25k for 4 copies. you need 15700. Don't think you can do that in 8 days
Did i get that right?
22 days...
oh, we get lots of time. I had the 25k a couple weeks ago i think
There's about 25 of them. I have to get them to 120 right
i'll just somatic them with the extra coin. level them another day
I keep forgetting whats the purpose of META ships
lore
more free ships with no complaining
same purpose as every other ship in game
what bulins purpose?
food
what
i thought it was clearer in all caps
caps lock is my sprint key 

me too, me too
What are the keys that alllow me to get new ships?
cubes?
"Nein"-Nimi.
war archive keys?
Z23?

Yes! That's the one. I am currently working on Dreamwalker aiming for floofy Shinano (do I have that right?)
you get 4 a day
Thanks you!
You can't get shinano that way
oh :/ where would I get floofy?
It's been a long time since I've played, only recently picked it up again by curiosity.
play the game by getting ships from new events and eventually you will get her for free
Only way to get her is perma pity
By building during events and once daily outside of events or so im told
What is Perma pity, Amagi-Chan?
A permanent pity system for URs added to it. Takes 400 cubes to reach it.
Someone get a screenshot of perma pity
it's not pity. it's sparking. try 200 times to get a ship from new events and you get shinano.
I have 543 cubes and according to the little side that saids UR: 112/400?
it’s in the build menu on the right or so im told
That’s it, 112/400
Great! SPAMMING CUBES HAHAHA
yes spend 288 more cubes trying to get ships from new events and boom. tap the ? i
Kidding. I wont be that rash since floofy is permament.
no way, a person with enough self control to not dump cubes into permanent pools
Also, I am stage 9-2 starting
was the part about not knowing how to get keys also kidding
probably you don't get 543 by doing that 
No, that was real question
I had 543 cubes before perma spark was a thing 
Just chill guys next week we got UR event
Thanks, friends for helping

is alsace skin gonna be in black friday
if it doesn't rerun before May most likely
Support fleet only use fighter slots yea?
it does, and the other slots are just AVI padding
Is this worth it?
I need another Torpedo Bomber and I am desperate for anything
Good thing that's not a torpedo bomber
oh FUCK
ok what about now
which one is better
i need something to give to Shinano
U can get Ryuusei from box
you best torpedo bomber works
my best torpedo bomber is Barracuda
well good thing barracuda is better than both of those
wtf
ok thanks
is it ok to give to Shinano for the meantime that i don't have a Wyvern
ok thanks
Are there any easy ships to get to farm Brest EXP i only got Dunkerque
Woops yea sorry I'm pepega can't get Ryuusei from buox
Helldiver is better
suisei is NOT better than tenrai. Use a purple helldiver instead
aight thanks
jb and gasu are in bb medal
I have DD CV this month
there's also Bearn
how do i get her
merit
merit shop or Skybound Oratorio WAs
Impossible
but, but kimocheese said
But faster is better

Chien in gph 
nagami 
looks like im Gambling on merit shop
But why?
Well 1 ship EXP grind is going to take a long time so i need to gamable
Is kimocheese reliable lol
What does he do thats bad lol i dont know enough nor been here for a while
As reliable as a noob spouting nonsense for clicks.
Would this be worth crafting if I got enough prints for it?
IIRC one of his takes was that, on release, New Jersey wasn't worth using.
Would I put it on sandy?
I think he said that with Yorktown II at release but im not sure
put on BB
Assuming you don't have STAAGs, that's second-best for most back-line ships if you don't need AA, and not bad even if you do
Mob or Boss?
either one
Typically your best gear goes on your boss fleet
wont make any big difference at your stage, don't worry about it
Aight
Wonder what kimo did even more lol
But its strange that almost all Azur lane vids on yt are just bad, this is like one of the few games where you should avoid youtube info or guides
today or tommorow update?
is this worth?
Wondering about this too
should be tomorrow at 00:00 or 12:00 AM
Except it's not*. Youtube is very full of misinformation for games. Especially ones that update often.
got it thanks
-worth
it’s probably low prio imo, idk if it’s in /plus13
well it doesnt really add oxy so imo its a very low prio
These two is both CA gun right?
scuba diver
I mean which one will be better

And i def need a better ship than Hood now when im pushing campaign lol
I take it the call to arms is an indicator of a new UR event happening. So saving coins is a good idea?
Cuz im at chapter 10 atm and while i am clearing, its always my hood on life support cuz of suicide bombers lol
Even tho she lvl 117
Suicide bombers damage a random ship in your main fleet
85 Heavy mod vs 95 Heavy mod
But it is AP
save coins save oil
Or its fire i am really not sure myself but hood takes so much dmg
Even with fire suppressors
what secondary gun are you using
If hood is consistently lowest HP, then she is being hit by enemy BBs or BCs
She is consistently lowest HP
Twin 128mm SK c41 dual
al yt is uniquely bad
maybe not quite uniquely but just notably bad
Wait is it because i dont have Dames medal of grace on her?
Her special augment
I really hope this dosent become worse at Ch 11 lol
the what cheeky, France 
It does
Farming Ch 11-1 will not be easy then oof
Do I really need to sortie french ships with Alsace to make more use of her debuff? Do I losing out not bringing french ships?
No, no
Yea i am cooked
guys what is cheeky planning now
Once i get my 4th Bullin which URs between Shinano, NJ, Fritz and Z52 would be the best to MLB 🤔 or might aswell just save for next UR event
might as well wait for the new event to see
Only UR i got mlb is Yorktown II atm
Step 1: be German
Step 2: head for Sedan
Are you using a Fire Extinguisher on her
I am
Then I don't think she go into life support because of fire damage
Thats the thing, she does
I don't even bring fire extinguisher to w11-12-13-14
Maybe my fleet just sucks idk
Post your fleet
or as a wise man once said ''Just delete your acc bro''
He is a stupid man
Eh? Your having trouble with fire damage?
Play AL is going for a long haul, you might not get stuffs done now, but you will get it later
And yea i am clearing Ch 10 fine so far but its just that my Hood becomes really worrying towards end
And yea my fleet is kinda meh lol
Xeno with VV and Aquila: Fire damage wut
In the end? Is your fleet out of ammo or what?
Like last few ships left or so, after my ammo runs out
I think it might have something to do with your fleet level
It's really only the two Z's I'm worried that'll die, Cuz they're squishy and under leveled
you can try put up a bad fleet to fight 2 weakest mob at the start
You really should invest in a 2nd fleet
Are you single-fleeting, or have you made a second now?
I prob should 😅
Howe is pretty stacked
This is a factory set fleet, no second no nothing
At chapter 10 is when the second fleet starts becoming really helpful.
Best advice ever
I mean when I was having the same problems, I just made a 2nd fleet, and it fixed it, cuz my main team keeps running out of ammo
Aren't you playing for the 6th year by now ?
I played in mid 2020-2021 NJ but i was the dumbest player of all time and i had no idea what i am doing and since then i just kept loggin in once a year and now i am consistent since Fritz Z52 event and finally understanding things
There is a mob fleet and a boss fleet
Your fleet
Thing is idek if my 2nd fleet will handle
Yeh, But before w10 I was only using Yt2, Uni, and Either VV/Enty and Laffey Portland and Helena for everything
Make a second, weaker fleet
Fight with your weaker fleet first, taking out the easy 1 triangle enemies until 2 battles
Fight the boss fleet with Ammo with your stronger fleet
i barely have the gear let alone the ships
Open boxes
How is it that you played for more years than me, But don't even have enough for a 2nd fleet-
Those years previous do not count at all
idt they've played actively for years
125 ships are way too late to consider second fleet.
Back then i never for some reason farmed a single Event map and i stacked up so much oil so i always had like 30K and spent them on dorm snacks lol
Okay now make thread and let people help you build your real fleet
Well even so, I only played for a month and 2 weeks or smth, Surely he would've gotten more stuff than me, And he has better ships imo, I literally only have 12 ships built
5 years ago we are not this spoiled
There are no Exp pack for ships
no auto 
no repeat for stages, no HELP 
Make a thread @glossy granite
For a second fleet ye?
-# and me out here, even with those my fleet still is sucky-
I will post in a moment
classic
what are max adapts for harby again
yo
36 ELECTRONICS
oh electronics pain
- 45 ELECTRONIC FROM THE 76MM
203 203 156
Chat, Is it bad that I'm living off the canteen for oil.. Cause I only have 36 left-
only thing you can do is get your comm game up or start swiping
Can you guys help this guy with fleet building
that is criminally expensive la 
well lets see the stats of this then
time to pray its dogshit
I think I missed the electronic warfare gear event, it doesn't rerun yet right?
Buying oil with gems is NOT a good idea isn't it?
i mean if you're a whale it can be, but if you have <700 dock space don't even think abt it
Whales do it. Leaderboard probably does
Very bad idea unless you make 6 figures a month
Guh.. I'm only at 300 dock space-
it's not that expensive to whale
Well you should buy trade license first but...
81 Electronics, 30 Superconductive Material, and 36 Ultra High-Purity Material for one 76 Mk37 
is jp in maint rn
CN is
Actually oil with f2p gems is a terrible idea.
mind blowing
using a pseudo-limited resource for a renewable one is bad 
Welp, Looks like I'll be living off Canteen for the time being
Well it wasn't clear on first reading which gems they meant
Did you collect oil from mail@nimble knoll
I swipe for oil, and will never recommend it because what I'm doing is just massive tech grinding 
I used all 13k I had stored..
if you swipe for oil do you buy the cog chips before
no, I have 100k cog chips lol
my WTP for oil is 200 oil per day from trade license
Farm smarter not harder
Ayo 15 hit AA
oh god
careful, mail oil hard takes time to replenish
Maybe I should start investing on good and cheap ships for oil savings..
How does that help?
I assume you already used AP in opsiren?
If yes then either go play other game in the meantime or put your phone down and touch grass
It could help before the 100% clear
Fuuuuck
Just use less ships if clearing is so easy
maybe its worse than staag 
Fudge it, Ima 1:1 this bitc-
what does 5 hit gives
it's at least as good as twin 57 at AA too, probably better
do you have the stats
time to craft at least 3
More range please? It would be really sick if range 36 and not only every bb but every van wants it.
The stats are in my head
What is the full name of the new rainbow AA
I want a refund then if that's the case
Radio fuse?
Rapid Fire I presume
Ssh. Vt. No electronics in the shell. Couldn't be.
pompeo gun needs 54 gunpowders, kinda expensive
We also have what is likely the best support fighter
significantly better than existing options or?
Like flapjack with 30% more aa dps and 48 instead of 42 speed
I left this fleet on auto mob in 14-4, Alsace died(everyone else still full health) when the fleet is out of ammo so I presume it was BB hit
I guess the problem is her level?
Gannet has a skill that drops a torpedo every 10s for 5 times per battle or something, maybe I'll mine it later
Datamine for Gear Lab out yet?
Higher speed is bad though, no?
Smh nobody pinged me on predl
The call to arms girl is confirmed to be ||doria meta||
achoo
yay, more BB FP
Do I replace Volga with a BB?
Do you pick up ammo?
Interesting. I'd rather pick up more BB RLD, but I'll take FP instead.
I just picked up when the auto failed
autoing with a non maxed BB in w14 is 
Bring more ammo or empty ammo reduction then
Gunpowder is hardly ever used IMO, so I'm happy to see that
Like Bisz or Gloucester or a tempesta
Ah right today's gear lab update, hope the new stuff is good 
Kay
Mk37 aa gun with 142 dmg, 32 range, 15 hit
I would switch to circle 
And replace Volga with aquila if you have
staag powercrept
by something that's ridiculously expensive
worth
What's the RLD time?
81 Electronics go brrrr
1.00 fr
Fr fr ong
Exactly 1?
Sexy no more
Bofors deez
Yeah, that's almost straight-up better than sexy, but it's slightly lower damage.
Refund when yostar
The extra 5 hit will go crazy
I crafted 3 of that gun, it served me well
Slightly slower, slightly lower damage, but 15 hit and 4 more range should make up for that.
crafted 3 of this
Gimme all dem froge guns
Refund the sextuples and staags too
Is that it? Those are rookie numbers, you need to pump those numbers up
What about the focke plane
wait update today right?
No datamine spreadsheet yet right?
nope
no one pinged nagami
Wip
Bomb load, launch rate, intercept rate? I don't see those when I search your name 
Well I kinda saw the better support fighter coming but will see real performance first
no i didnt. didnt know i was supposed to. sorry
None, 9.7s, 9.7s
The focker should be a heavy bomb-dropping fighter instead of an air support
Tfw ground support plane has no ground support 
Not my problem
I thought they were talking about the Fairey earlier, not the German plane
Carrier-base prototype 
Carrier-cringe prototype more like
Is there list of faction that get the new equip and what type
patch notes
we have a detailed list for the Italians
Even the EN notes should have them
I think they also mentioned some exiting purple gear being added besides that but didn't say what
but there's like 6 that we actually care about
Oh...so like 80 iss electronic?
wait its going to be strictly better?
Oh so its an actual new aa gun
I thought it was 76mm like as in.. the dd gun
142 dmg, 15 HIT, 32 range, 1.00s rld....yeah it pretty much shit on every other AA gun
welp shouldn't have made twin
Refund doko
5 twin 57
This is the gear you guys called Prowler?
Damn
Meh
So not only does it serve as a good hit stat gun it also serves as an aa powerhouse... seems reasonable
the Twin 135 is nice

oh i forgot yk2 was last month
not sure if I'm right tho
