the stars are aligning
bruh
457 gaming?
but nah
dont try it at home kids

sorry for scuffed screenshot 😭 but im hoarding sr's i dont use and idk if any of them are worth keeping now im clearing out my dock
its that time !?
so for the vanguard, Plymouth, Mogador, Hindenburg is what I'm thinking
⏲️ 
sandy and sirius and kazagumo and theres alot of good tech there
3 +13 457
Do you have a leveled Sandy yet?
that's level 14 though
o no wonder
same score wtf
Cheeky has 3 +13 457?
bruh i was so confused lol
lv14 is like whatever
cheeky has a lot of stuff
Bruh wtf u need 3 for
no just those two
gaming
cheeky is a gamer
I only have 2 +13
Then level one to 10 and limit break her
It's not exactly a secret....
ionly have 1 +13 457
Personally I wouldnt throw away any SRs
I think this setup can't kill 15lvl
Have you considered giving ply buff to Soyuz?
it is, time to 
Why does Kazagumo have a UR AA gun
why not
Bc it has 15 hit
HIT stats to crit
for shooting planes
Because it's the best gun in the game
Holy, that's alot of UR weapon
And this man is rich
I don't have that much....
i need to start grinding
im surprised you have the 3rd +13 mk7
I can +13 a mk7 at the cost of two 457s , a Guam gun and a plygun
My mob fleet
😭
What I can improve it?
drop every1 except unicorn and jav
limit breaking them is a start
ok, that's scuffed AF. Drop Vestal, put literally ANYONE else there.
and read this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
oh right I completely forgot about that 
Isn't Talinn a better tank than Port?
I moved her because of firing order for z52 and forgot plymouth buff
sure but she costs gold bulins
Do you have Enterprise?
Tal also doesn’t do your newb missions for you
And I would know
Fair
who should i speedrun to lv120 for tech point
In boss fleet
whoever's closest
You only need 1 fleet.
you haven't got any Purple Bullins?
sandy is good but Kearsarge will be useless to you
wat, so who do i want to play kearsarge
ok this is slightly more encouraging
well you want to get 513 blueprints to be able to dev 30 her
the problem is you don't even have a single print for kearsarge, you'll just have a useless 0LB ship when you unlock her
Having 2 fleets at the point you are actually makes the game harder
and right now you have literally none
Which weapons are 12?
soyuz+nahk is what kear wanted to be
1 of my 3 la-9s and raff gun
Great then I have less tech but everything 13
i guess i will wait for UR rerun and pull for them 
Except the AA guns
How much of those UR +13 thingues do you have
BB rld is irrelevant, not sure how much FP/AVI you may be missing
I don't even know if I'll get my 3rd La-9 in time for tomorrow
my 4th is 19 prints away
0 
Nakhimov is working with a +13 Skyraider
cheeky actually behind on la9?
Hormet and Doria are the 9nky missing main fleet tech, I have literally all other main, including AA and ASW
I haven't leveled Doria M either but that's like 1FP
Bf-109G is better than Skyraider against medium btw
Cheeky spreading misinformation for half a year
So you mean this is enough?
shad up
Limit break your ships man. You're missing SO much power
but yeh getting the gun plates would be a start, finishing arb this month should give me enough to finish raff gun
well the ships need more limit breaks asap
If you have the bulins to MLB Raff, though, that's way more than I used to get to chapter 10 on my alt
What causes whirpools in opsi to sometimes stunlock you?
rng
Unfortunately, I haven't had rainbow bulin....yet
Then don't use URs
But I have a bunch of yellow and purple one
but yeh I think it's a fairly good chance to oneshot with your comp, the problem is getting 4 La-9s and +13ing them 
What other battleships do you have?
According. To my research, 3 la9 with unzen is only like 85%90%
19 prints is going to be like 3 weeks out
So it may be better to use Helena for 90%
at that point I'm just waiting for barrage
Sooooo
Is this a ez meta
As you can see here
I'll let you know after I +13 raff gun
if you sensibly gear-focused for PR7 from the start 🙃
If it’s a hard one
Ima have to recommission the 4 shot fleet
the other i was recommending using 0lb raff because of her giga cracked skills overall
new players should get 2 bulins asap from the pass and the new player event
are whirlpools supposed to rng stunlock you? As in is that intended? Idk
2 la9 and a dream
9 more bp for third
Is the best gun for rafaelo the new in game gun in her event shop ?
Best for med
best gun depends on where you're using the ship
What plane should I put in TB slot for Nahkimov in Hornet META fight?
Hmm, why is Fritz used btw over the other carriers
🚀 ✈️
Ahhh
Rich I am
Oh wait Unzen should be off tank
not sure about Unzen's aux but that's more of a margin of error
4 la9 moment wtf
But 4 la 9's is a bit crazy
If you only have two rainbow rocket planes, who gets prio between the two?
Super rich or super lucky stig
probably in 6 days
Is Admiralty Fire Control Table bad? Why not use it over black shell?
Timing
you need to shoot just before nahk
Yeah I actually want Fumo over black torp now. I first posted that picture 4 days ago
7????
fritz but it depends on ur timing
I have 6 Wyverns
fritz makes better use of the planes but if timing is wrong then you need to split the planes up
Uh...
Uh?
if you want to ask about using data packs the answer is no
I gave one to each
La-9 is slow so if you throw 2 on Fritz whatever plane setup on Nakhimov might end up being a wee bit too fast
this works however
well yes you can slow Nakhimov down with slower TB but you're also widening the gap between Nakhimov and Soyuz
That seems like a really big gap between Fritz and Nakh
MMMmm.... bacon
is 21.25 on soyuz 0 tech no oath
well no oath it shows but yes it 0 tech
oath 0 tech is still a wee bit fast 
One-shot 14, but I don't know if it'll work tomorrow. We'll find out.
all I can say is I'm lacking the +13 AA guns to maintain conceal at this stage
you can feel the damage loss
what website do u guys use to build fleets?
I had over 1k gold AA plates, so I'm good there.
You're seeing enemy planes survive with between 0. And 100% HP?
AA guns only, Not counting plane interception
not between 
I wouldn't say 100% HP but some of them have been making it through with high HP
and this with 4 strike Nahkimov which uses Breguet
Planes should be getting oneshotted even if you have full +10 AA
also, the game was lagging really badly towards the end
Too many sprites effects
4 strike has higher AA requirements for keeping conceal too
yeah I figured as much
Hmmm, so who needs to fire first again?
guys in 15 mob boss mob would u prefer FdG or vanguard in boss fleet?
vanguard
Any order, but prefer nakhi before fritz
nice, z52 helena plymouth able to survive lv15
z52 can but helena not ideal for ch15
the fights are too long and u dont want to sync around her buff
oh I thought u said ch15 
89.58 sec for last cv wave - is it too close to map timing?
What are some good ships for mob fleet in ch14? Im stuck on 14-3
is this arbiter fight?
tank asw damage
boss meta 90 sec
there is a lot but easier if u just post your dock in a thread
In a thread?
Where do I make it?
yeah not sure if u meant 79.58 but like lars said meta fights are 80 second
u have to take into account jamming and ordnance travel time as well
CH14 Fleet Help
CVs are catching up to 80 seconds 
it's a collectors item at best, otherwise you'd only use it for some obscure sync timer
Super niche, just treat it as worse than purple helldiver
wouldn't 4-strike also be disadvantaged by higher EVA later
Hmm, are the D3 drops decent?
Until someone gives you homeworks to copy that include it
Are there any good carriers (not light carriers) other than Enterprise that I can buy from a shop or farm W1 - 7?
Independence but must be retrofitted because she's really bad without
Saratoga is 4-1 drop
Saratoga is decent without retrofit but peaks lower than independence later when you max both, and Saratoga is more expensive to max
I guess the ship doesn't need to be amazing. I just need someone to fill out my roster for Hard mode, but I think I can manage with my main fleet.
But something that's also somewhat future proof would be good.
Sounds like I should go with Indepenence. Maybe by the time I need her, I'll be able to farm retro materials better.
was this the new best asw plane? https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Fairey_Gannet
isn't independence cvl?
She is a light carrier
What chapter hard mode and what's your fleet
Saratoga fine. She has good stats and aircraft efficiency but after retro. before as all elites
Saratoga is great
I don't know if this is helpful. No one's fully Retrofitted.
even before retrofit she has a good loadout for early to mid campaign
You don't need another CV for chapter 4 hard. Only for 5
Oh, I might have been thinking of W5, then.
imo she best because she has 2 DB slots with 140% and high avi stats ofc it's almost incredible at her cost
Oh cool, I should be able to farm her from 6-4, too.
if you can move further don't focus on her farm. you goal 9-1. just saying don't spend a lot oil if she not droping for long
Okay, yeah, I guess I'm worrying about farming hard mode, but I should still be focusing on getting to 9-1
Saratoga drops from C2 of the event starting tomorrow
maximum retro near 85-90 level...idr
again, doesn't matter, her base loadout is good regardless
Maybe I get lucky and pull Implacable. Is she good? Seems like people are excited for her.
UR good but not that great for your current level
But waiting 2 years for rerun is awful too
any of these items worth crafting at any point?
ryuusei is good
Otherwise other ssr in banner is not best. Whatever Kimmo said about Scylla 
Looking at those images, which one are you referring to?
reppuu and seafang are hellcat side grades
Aichi B7A
3rd image
left 2nd in line
3ed

waow it's cooper, big fan
wow, it's ChieN


wdym by side grades?
equal
I do not see a Hellcat in that list @grizzled tulip only Seafang
/wiki f6f hellcat
first link T3 version
That I think is the BTD-1 Destroyer
why do you think so
Hellcat is a good cheap fighter for beginner. One from the low top tier. So reppuu and seafang good as hellcat
what thought process led you to think a hellcat is a BTD-1 Destroyer
Because if I’m looking at the one you’re referencing correctly, that’s what it says
this is just trash
the other Cooper in here mentioned Hellcat but I do not see a single Hellcat in that list of images I posted
yea because there isn't
Because Hellcat was a comparison point. Hellcat is a good plane, these planes (Seafang and the other one) you do have are similarly good.
what other cooper
The only ones I see are Type 0 Fighter Model 52, Suisei, Messerschmitt Me-155A, and Prototype Su-2.
yeah crafted Seafang already
If I scroll down a little bit, these are the only hellcats I’m seeing
look 6 Helldivers

so how good Helldiver?

for the Tenrai poor, Helldiver is the best thing you can get for a DB
But there is no Tenrai... ok. ok. just joking. it's fine
I currently have 3 of those elite rarity Helldivers on three characters and I still have 4 unequipped at level 10.
plus 10 that are not even leveled up yet. So I do not really think I need any crafted right now.
Hornet meta showdown fleets v2.0
- For the richest with high tech and oaths and gear. Max CV + 0 BB. Really needs the tech/gear/oaths damage to be better than Helena. 4 La9 is required, if you have 3, then go ⬇️
- For the richest without high tech and oaths and gear. Max CV + 0 BB. Lower CV is possible, give nakhi a faster TB. Or do 4 la9 with Helena.
- 2 la9, Max CV + 0 BB. Again, lower CV is possible, give nakhi a faster TB.
- 4 strike 0 la9, Soyuz needs oath + max rld, otherwise just go AFCT instead of autoloader and give up the fourth ice barrage. CVs needs near max rld/oath to finish 4 strikes
- 4 salvo 0 la9, require max or near max BB rld and oaths to do as much of the fourth salvo as possible
For the strongest accounts, 1 > 2 > 3/4/5, where 3/4/5 probably have similar win rates.
For near strongest accounts, probably 2 >= 1 > 3/4/5.
For weak accounts, you can modify Fleet 2, the 3 strike CVs, with helena and fewer la9s
For accounts without nakhi/soyuz, you can glhf
just keep them in bag. don't spend too much plates on them or just don't spend plates for now on them. you will regret leveling them. craft and upgrade them as you need
So 2 for max tech and oath is fine ?
yeah have only spent plates in the last several months getting necessary gear to 10. If you see anything in my inventory that is above 10 that was a long time about and thought I was reading what people posted in here for stuff to get to 13 correctly. Have not done so in a long time. However, also running out of gear space if anyone has any advice on gear I can dismantle for space. I can show that in a thread if need be
guys is hinden gun better than drake for mob? cuz pierce?
pierce doesn't really help much
just depends on how much damage you do to kill with 1/3 scan. The fleet has potential to go up to 90-92% wins with max tech, oaths, and +13 main weapons
/plus13 nothing except these
@inland shoal pin
did I ping two people
I have everything maxed out, just no 4th LA-9 , got fucked so hard this year 
0 LA9 gaming
Do you have the link otherwise I will have to check to see if I have it said. I cannot save that image for some reason
- Triple BB - lmao
Ger to trash
No Skyraiders on Hornet2M is it realy bad?
created a thread showing equipped and unequipped gear if anyone has any thoughts since running out of space. I stopped at common because that should be obvious
I guess I'll be going with option 3 since I only have 2 LA-9
You have to account for timing
just gonna be lazy, and not change teams for meta 
What does the 4 strike vs 4 salvo mean?
I know I make something like but with Skyraider at sec. Fritz slot and Homing Beacon and got better dmg. Btw 22.02 sec on Fritz. not sure how it's bad
what would be the next best aa from the rainbow aa?
not entirely keen on spending 41 UR selectors
you probably didnt set hit rate to have skyraider outperform bfg
Any thoughts on my thread though of what gear I can trash to make some space?
How does one possess a Fairey Gannet
gearlab
Do you have to manually reduce Soyuz reload from tech to have her fire after Nahkimov?
strike is (airstrike) when cv launch
salvo is when bb launch
but in this case it means the same thing because both teams launch 4 times
/equip safe to scrap

depends on loadout but with 2la9 and saiun even 0tech bb and max tech nahki doesnt fire after cat but it doesnt matter they just need to be close
Are these worth doi mg?
no
Its better to use the oil in combat
Kk ty
, i have been spamming that forever
then looks like you dont grind as often as you think
my alt account does that because i only log in like... 1 time in 3 days
im starting to grind alot rn, start doing world 13 right now
is there a way to defend the backline from damage i lose everytiime because of them
Is there any way to get to that energy matrix or am i just locked out of getting that?
if its has purple part, do i run this in the future or only run the one with cube
only cube if u are active
mkayy
they look at the exploding boats they just go through everytime
No run no cube. It will never change unless you dew it
It does not.
It stays until you do the mission
if u are going to overcap on oil and u cant play to not overcap then run it
that is the only time it is worth it
Use better guns or maybe bb that can use better guns
@keen sable problem im just lv 34
Yes and the determination to put a gun tends to lead to bad choices.
If you want a one liner, use AP. But start with who is your bb.
It's unreachable, the random generation sometimes screws the objectives like that
@keen sable the bb is a front ship ?

guys how do slows stack?
Like what is soyuz + fritz slow combined?
Remember to limit break your ships too. Level 30 is enough to do so twice, which on most BBs unlocks +2 secondary gun mounts, a great explody ship killer.
BB is battleship btw.
The ship that when you lock at its stats says bb. (Or bc rarely)
i do it when i have the materials
Don't worry too much, you can do so many OS maps that one missing objective doesn't change anything. In endgame, if spending all AP, you end with overflow of vouchers for the monthly shop and able to clear all the ports for useful materials
i guess i have no bb
Pennsylvania
Yea, i was just wondering, if there is a way to somehow get in there
is in my team
Limit break her again, that will triple her secondary guns, giving her far greater chance to blow up suicide boats
can i do something better?
Swap Penn and Uni.
Always limit break your ships as soon as you can. You can do that with purple bulins, and put Penny in the middle
Also probably swap out Belfast for Portland, and stick Portland on the left where Z23 is.
Where did Portland go
in training
like as in getting her skills leveled up?
That shouldnt stop you from slotting her in
not like you really should raise her skills tbh, esp her red one
yeah when portland has more levels switch her position with z23
Should I even try pulling for implacable if I only have 170 wisdom cubes?
yeah
definetly
Yeah, great slow/stop + you’ll get some free pulls since it’s a rerun
but u should use ur free pulls first
yeah, you get like 88 cubes worth of tickets as well
save enough coins so that you dont wait to spend free tickets first and then find out you ran out of coins
Do you guys run out of quick finishers
For some reason my qf count is always lower than my cube count
my cube count started to come close aswell but it was much lower before so thats why i play it safe
No, it's really hard to run out of them if you play regularly because so many commissions give them out. I've got almost 5000 of them now.
can I skip the dark mode in META?
wdym
screen just turns dark
hornet blinding thingy ? no unskippable
maybe skippable if u kill her before she gets 3 stacks actually
I remember in opsi? there are some bullets if they hit me it goes dark
Scylla isn't bad as I thought according to her barrages. Is it better use 550 twin torp instead of triple?
What scale her barrage: fp or trp? Fp I guess
u can check them here
Scylla is practically a 14 + 15 staple 
My Boss fleet can’t auto 15-4, any suggestions to change ships?
Mob Fleet is [Unicorn, Musashi, Aquila][Laffey 2, Jeanne, Guam]
My current Boss fleet is [FdG, Perseus, NJ], [Helena, Anchorage]
I have almost everyone in the game by URs except Alsace/Mogador/Scylla (boo me no likey designs). Pls ping if you have advice
I check it on wiki. seems it's mostly fp. so twin torp should be fine
change boss fleet to something like soyuz fritz/nahkimov volga - napoli sandy z52
That's a sign you aren't going enough commissions

jin meta help
FdG and NJ seems sort of underwhelming there. Consider using Bismarck zwei and Implaccable. Perseus is fine. Who's the last vanguard for boss fleet ?
Hindenburg should be fine
NoAAburg 
tfw no AA is better than bad AA
dude really started listing off ships without knowing what the individual has, that's funny 
just have every ship in the game, it's easy
also doesn't Hinden have a Ghost AA Gun? 
Is this gun good
bwuh why are the lewdest ships the best
she good?
very niche, not worthwhile
It's not
So i should not get it?
I guess k just need to semi-auto for Cleve 2
wasn't it used for jintuu meta fight on kear
?
Is there like a tier list for the best ones for 15-4
if it is that's a very specific niche 
I don't know
Thx I have those two
should I be leveling this in super early game if I don't have the ship?
bwuh
Bwoah
very hard to use
i think better to look for someone else
oh
It has hit and it has FP 
For Bismarck 2, how do I keep her alive?
a combination of having enough defense and offense
what gear are you using exactly
Ok so now that a bb is at least in the correct place, what gun did you give her?
How can I unblock it?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit?gid=0#gid=0 this tierlist has a w15 section
What's the best way to get this thing
opsi
Or is it just rarer then other thing
What's opsi
Sairen operation
I know i am having double the amount of other material
It's just used more
income is the same =/ spendings are the same
I'm thinking about making a Dragon Empire fleet, but there is no main fleet ship
I don't think i have use it

Uh ok?
Retrofit the DDGs, and hwah jah is, in fact, a main fleet ship
Thank u!
Oh come on don't doubt me
DDGs? Anshan and Fu Shun right?
yeah
I have tracked my opsi materials
they are main fleet ship?
And the income of electronics is not lower than the others
they are technically both
they can be after you retro them
hmmmm
Which one
right is much better and u shouldnt use left
right should be better
Is the left trash
its a bit slow
pretty much
also these things still miss a lot in auto
Which one should i use then
it's a good thing you can't physically +13 SSR Quint Mags
the gold ones here
the white ones till u get quad mags
and dont enhance random gear above +10
gimme 3 ships that has MLB prio rn
should i stop cubing pr7 if I only have napoli left? Im spending hella cubes and just getting dupe prints
u can mlb 3 UR rn ?
alsace 4sure no? isnt she the best BB right now?
and how does current meta BB and CV comp look like rn? im stil using Biskotwo Vanny and Sovetsky...
so those arent even all URs 
yeah i think i can MLB like 3 rn... i have like quite a lot of UR bulins i can buy from the shop
can you show every UR
So you have 44k Specialized Cores
got fritz but didn't manage to get z52?
idk what happened but i just logged in and pull stuffs, didnt have time to play tht much lmao
Dang big sad
amagi and fritz and then alsace
noice tyty
i forgot did sp events ever give rainbow equipment?
Like for OpSi? Bisco, Soyuz, Alsace, Agir, Helena, Ply
ive been using Bisko2 Vanny Sovet & Nano Haku Imp for like over a year
oh ok so vanny got replaced by alsace
top 5 for bossing are bz soyuz alsace vanny musashi
top 2 for mobbing are raffaelo and musashi
top for cv are amagi nakhimov fritz shinano yk2 and implac for bossing but like showdowns have been hybrid for a while and they each work better on diff armor and depends on gimmicks aswell
Those are both fine. I think Alsace has a slight advantage over Vanguard due to her personal DPS, but the difference is pretty small AFAIK
for opsi hybrid better aswell unless like heavy but even then hybrid is still a thing for fastest
Shinano/Amagi/Imp edges out Haku as well. Or you can do Shinano/Amagi/Haku if you have Eldridge for a slow.
btw whats meant by hybrid?
ahhh aright, thanks guys love yall
Is there a reason for keeping the 60k oil in my mail storage or feel free to use it as needed?
im not saving it but u may feel like saving it if ure the type to grind event exclusive gear that happens to be good in higher amounts than normal
Will probs just use it then
so for jin meta you want the least amount of different faction right?
Hey guys, Just got to chapter 14 and stuck here, my mob squad dies pretty much on the 2nd battle...thoughts on any improvements? I know my vanguard lineup is really weak 😦 Boss: Raffaelo Yorkii Fritz z52 Hindenburg Sandy
Mob: Enterprise Unicorn Aquila(fighters) Agir Duisburg Roon........Currently trying to research/obtain Plymouth as I feel like I don't have too many strong vanguards...thanks!
that's it?
Why u gotta do him like that
what
anyway, time to go back to the drawing board for a bit
by which I mean wait until you've got some more options leveled

getting and Dev30ing FDG would be the main one to start with
Anchorage would also help
why is raffello in boss
that's not her strong suit
Your mob fleet also has basically zero suicide boat interception, which is doubly even more cringe when W14 has bulkier ramming boats
sorry I just started a month ago-ish, she's in boss because I don't have any other UR bb's, ill try swapping her over to mob, ill look into suicide boat interception too thanks for the pointers 
Honestly feels more like you need to just grind W12 and slowly build up more ships
Cuz that dock doesnt really look that suitable for W14+ when there's better options that you would ideally be using by that point
got it will do! Thanks so much, i figured my pool is really small atm T_T
Does do hard mode 5 times count?
?

was that for Z Flag when it first came out?
It's even easier than it seems because back then you had to do hard 6 times a day.
tbh you're really close to being able to clear w14, you just need
- A BB in your mob fleet to intercept suicide boats (you can wait for another UR, if willing)
- Kick out non dev-30 hindenburg, and an overall slightly better vangaurd
- l120+ every ship
4.* some new opsi gear
w14 is a huge step from w13, and there's no real reason to rush it though
and also I assume you dont have opsi gear
noob question, for hindenburg I cant prio research her anymore as I believe ive obtained the alloted points I could get from having her as prio, from here on out, my only way is RNG getting her and/or event exchanges for the universal tickets thingies for her right (if that makes sense)? and got it, i do have a bit of opsi gear, fritz and raff are pretty much opsi +10'd with a +13 and the other UR's are close behind, but yes my gear still has catching up to do
that's catchup not research
but yes your main way of getting prints for her will be from PR6 research focus
I'd also be a lot more cautious about what you +13 because often people don't +13 campaign-focused gear
though PR6 is dead last of the seasons you'd want to focus anyway
Yeah I just figured out how the system worked kinda, I had it on pr7 this whole time...for better or for worse
Did you exclude PR1 from the want list 
Looks like 3 months not 1 btw
has it been that long 😭 I joined I think on the last 2 days of fritz haha
I think a little bit of common sense trumps academic here...
When is hornet lvl 15 for en
tomorrow
Bruh
Effectively 24 hours after JP
effectively 10 hours 15 minutes
Sup guys any specific gear for Raffaello or just standard? Just gonna use her in 12-4 for now
Standard mob gear
Copy, shes a mob BB?
mob focused but still a rainbow
Yeah, her single-target damage is pretty low, but has really good mob damage
What's with the X
Ahh got it, right on. Hows the new sub also? Worth leveling with the other gold Italian sub together?
What's with the X
In 10h15m we have maintenance
good, but doesnt change the established sub comps
ah
I see, thanks guys

We do not run a FULL day behind JP
so it would be 18h15m
when people refer to farming 12-4 with shitters, dose that entail flagging with the cross-fleet fleet? because my mob doesn't even chew through 15 bars combined before sinking on boss
We're 16 h behind and have a 8h maintenance
You almost never want to use one fleet for both mobs and boss
i just have 2 fleets to level for 12-4
It's not efficient in the long term because you need stronger ships and then you'll only have weak ships left after a few years
it's a lot harder to get one fleet that can kill both mob & boss even with xfleets than just 2 fleets
i use 2 fleets for 12-1 
thank god, i was sat here scratching my head thinking i was missing something. ty for the confirmation
(12-1 is significantly easier than 12-4)
You don't lose a whole lot by having a strong fleet kill the boss
if by strong you mean max level isn't it basically losing out on ~10%+ of the exp
you get capped by cognitive chips either ways as long as you farm regularly
you can bank exp
yeah but why
and then move on to 15-1/14-1 if you're truly done
how much easier
significantly
Fritz, Z52, or the new UR BB, who to max next? How good is the new UR BB? Replacing anyone?
wao
fritz probably
The SAP gun any good?
it is

well you don't really play the game anymore anyways

fwiw it is better than champy gun vs medium armour
is there a recommended guide for new players?
It's really weird to insist on using max level ships for boss but then refusing to use anything over 100 on mob. (Not you the one fleeters) also using a real boss fleet increases sorties per hour by at least 1.6 and up to 3.2 or so. This is the problem with 12-1 also. Sure the oil efficiency sounds dreamy but the time and morale efficiency is terrible.
So where to farm?
12+ it's your choice
It's pretty clear that 12-1 costs the most morale per xp though
Time can get a little tricky as 14-4 and stuff is really slow with long fights
might as well wait to farm for events anyways, get those completions points for the store items
12-4 & 12-1 are best in general
13-1/14-1/15-1 for cogs if cog gated (needs carries, so less xp/oil)
13-4 good as well, but much harder than 12-4
and you can usually get away with using some very low level ships supported by some heavies
if there's an event just do d3
there's an event (rerun) tomorrow, get your farmer overalls on
no need really
missions and first of the day clear bonus on the normal maps nets you almost 40k event points alone
which is more than enough to get all of the important stuff for very minimal cost
oh for pure points efficiency, yeah absolutely
I just usually grind D3 anyways for XP for my lower ships, plus if the gear drop is good
If you don't need the event points D3 isn't great
usually has the better gear print drop, depending on the event
d3 for gear drops is brainrot
I play AL, my brain is rotted
unless it's unique like hvar
I never bother with D3, 12-1 is easier anyway
brain smooth, shipgirl tiddy big
ok...
but yeah this event it's just the donut AA gun at D3, so not gonna grind that
grinding any map drops for gear is horrid, except for very limited cases
even for hvars going all out was a horrific experience
yeah that did suck lol
ok but now imagine instead of hvars its mediocre gear that you get passively through gear boxes and lab
truly worth the oil
yeah in that case, not grinding it
i only grind event if they have low oil cap
else id 1:1 b1/2/3 and be done with it
Could you run 13-1 with 3 lvl 100 dds as mob fleet?
you certainly could 
yes
Lv100 laffii guam sandy ez
what
laffii, eld, z52
Oh wait dd
Probably depends on which dds and what equipment you put on them and what tech bonuses they have.
But really, the answer to questions like that is "try it and find out". One experimental run doesn't cost that much oil -- if it works that's great, but if it fails you've lost the oil for one farming run. You were going to do a lot of farming runs, so it's not that bad to lose the oil from one.
guam and sandy is infact not dd
but yes you can run a farm fleet with 3 l100 dds in 13-1, it will require more carries in backline
can fletcher team do it tho
I like this one
vanguard hull type doesnt really matter nearly as much as their skills and stats
I mean Indep, and Unicorn are enough AA wise
3 DDs is a useless metric
maybe if backline something like raff aquila unicorn maxed then even 3 bulldogs can (?)
it matters slightly in like w14 where DDs having evasion making the larger part of their eHP makes them relatively tankier than other hull types (that were otherwise the same eHP), usually, but that's literally the only thing I can think of.
Maybe that one meta fight where you stack DDs for speed on auto to not get caught in clouds
again this is why I said, "you certainly could", but it heavily based on context, cause there's many factors that lead into this, 13-1 is by all means not that much harder than 12-4, but with the level difference you are gonna run into a wall 
I would be running lvl 125 backline, and like random purple/blue dds
then 12-1 is going to be pound for pound better for your oil 
13-1 I can understand for chip farming, but for xp it just ups your oil cost 
well as long as you understand that much though 
Was more of a thought experiment, havnt done 13/14/15 in a while without using maxed fleets
you can drag a few underleveled ships in 15-1 
Full frontline tho?
not sure of the details because I don't care for it, but I imagine it may be doable 
I think you may for 14-1
probably depending on level advantage maybe, you just need the frontmost to survive
I still don't see the advantages of sacking XP just for cogs tbh
Kinda need all 3 to survive for farming
nor do I
also the clear times just become more, and more abysmal 
If you're done with main fleet is it even sacking xp
But none of you suggest 11-1? 
no cogs
11-1 = 0 cogs = 0 value
it may have made more sense back in the day, but these days reruns are more frequent so there's more situations where you get an influx of cogs
and 11-1 is harder than 12-1 anyway, not joking with that one
The harder part is fair
Why not 10-1
because i do not like him
when implac rerun
Maint for it starts in 9 hours

reruns are said to be 2years after the actual event
(usually just a little more)
quick question, can i get perseus from the event banner?
or is she ONLY accessible from the special banner
Raff want a cl or dd secondary?
CL
I think the event banner? there's other CV/Ls in there
no
perseus is in the special pool, that means that she'll also be in the pool for events that use the special pool as a base
implac was special based no?
Either Special banner or a event banner that has majority Special pool hulltypes
tho honestly she's not really worth specifically going for when Unicornr retro is a thing
ouh i read it as this banner

2 CV/1BB/1 CL moment
wait we dont even have a banner rn 
pretty sure 10-1 is less exp/oil than 11-1, but i dont remember the chart
i'd be pretty impressed if you were able to pull on an event banner right now
tomorrow's event banner
speaking of which, will the implac banner be updated with the current special pool
aql pulling party ig

i need my 41 rld
i need my aquila in general
i predict you will have to wait until the CN Anni at least
bet

I need moar new CVs..
on everyones soul but mine, ill get aql during implac rerun, just wait....
i will wait forever but i will never knew if you did get her or not :o
I went for broke when both Joffre and Albion were added to perma pools
is name change ingame possible?
yup, it's a paid item in the shop
special pool?
implac rerun will be special pool?
More than likely
amagi-chan less
Just pls save cubes until tomorrow ok
the event pool, but the event pool is the event-limited ships plus the ships from a couple other pools
so that's what folks were asking before - what other ships are available in the event pool starting tomorrow
Is there a 1 shot fleet for hornet meta?
4 la9 gaming
for most people it's probably 3 salvo BB + helena

FAQ
Oil Cap?
Oil Cap is on All D Stages , and is 35 mob, 47 boss, 16 sub. Do /oilcap in #bot-spam for more information.
Farming Strategy?
Run D3 > D1 with full fleets repeatedly. If unable to do D1, use a 1:1 fleet on C2 > B3 > highest stage possible. Doing the daily x5 or x3 clears is also viable.
Where to find Build Tickets?
Daily Login, Daily Missions, Event Shop, Point Milestone. There are 44 acquirable build tickets.
Virtual Tower War Archives?
There is nothing of note. The event ships got added to the permanent pool like normal. Ignore the archive stages and move on.
more information coming soon tm
<@&472236072743600148> pin plz thank 
you can also clean up some of the older pins too
wouldn't this be better in #event-faq ?
nobody goes there
will mods do an event faq for a week long event
i discovered i cant one shot lvl 14 hornet, time to bring the 4 shot fleet
Yoo samheart
its easier to tell ppl to check pinz in this channel when they ask
I really appreciate your work on those community guides, without you i would be running a South Dakota, North carolina with Alabama main
Seriously tho tysm

mods doing event faq is a once in a lifetime event
once chatgpt gets good enough and its not expensive to api call it, we can then automate it to make it easy for everyone involved 
anyways i did it early cause i might be busy later tonight and that should be everything anyways 
just get someone with a spare 3090 to run deepseek locally or something

I only have 2 LA9, no idea how lucky you gotta be to get 4 by now.
Average luck if you know how to research and did do research
Above average luck
I have 0 LA9
I can lend you my LA9
How to do it?
how to get more points to unlock?
By getting 10 more Sakura empire/Japanese ships to your collection but pls ignore it for now
Reading the requirements explains the requirements
What's my Library?
Oh, so I misunderstood
Yea but dont think too much about research, you shouldnt prioritize that at your lvl
Are meta ships good for opsi?
is there a site that let's me quickly figure out which gun should go on which ship? I got my first gold BB gun, but the tier list doesn't list it for pennsylvania who is my only BB right now so I wanna look up if the gun is any good on another character?
Okay, I would like to know though
Any ships work for general opsi grinding tbh
pulling 1st time ships mlb them to 120 will give you points
If it's not on ectl for Penn it's probably garbage.
Are meta ships good in general?because a friend of mine is saying that they are mid
You need 20 unique Japanese vanguard (front line) ships
I don't have to use it in fleet?
The elites are all bad. The SR ones are anywhere from ehh to good.
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research#fleet_technology also you should do ''Research projects''
Is the hornet one worth grinding for?
No one has her yet.
she gives hit so by default, yes
so if its not in any of these you say, or what you mean with ectl
If the gold gun you got was any of these three it's garbo. Especially the last one.

Just read this to find if gear is good. https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment

Also where are my northern parliament enjoyers, are y'all extinct
that is what I have open on my second screen, but i don't wanna have to look for the image of a gun in a massive imgur, I just wanna type in the name and get an answer 😦
oops mb
I guess the spreadsheet kind of does that job
So if its not listed on the spreadsheet its garbo?
Pretty much, yeah. The imgur is also separated into categories; if you want to know if a battleship gun is good, look at the BB/BC section
These are pretty much the only ones you need to worry about, for example
I know, it's still a massive as picture xD
I'll just use the spreadsheet so I can at least seach for the name 🙂
isn't that outdated
my main problem with that is that it's hard to figure out which ones I should use until I get anything that is listed there, that's why I asked for a more in depth ranking
If the gear you have isn't on there you aren't far enough where it really matters.
different content requires diff guns. General mobing you can get away with general use, if you dont want to sweat the details then go by general use for pickign weapons
aight, sounds good. If I get garbage, do I dissassemble or is there a point in saving it for a system that unlocks later? I'm level 35 if that matters
Disassembling is fine
don't disassemble UR weapons not in there
heck don't scrap even gold gear before you ask in here if it's good or bad
well it was one of the 3 "definitely garbo" weapons linked above, so I scrapped it 😄
Triple 406mm (BL 16" Mk I)
oneshot 14 not possible for me, any comp ideas for oneshot if no nakhi, 1x la9
Try replacing Amagi with Yorkie?
doesnt stigma have a proor people comp

alright no oneshot for me this time, back to eepy
I've been noticing a lot of game stopping with LDPlayer and Win 11, especially if the emulator isn't the active window, anyone know if this is because of LDPlayer or Windows?
ldplayer user, don't think it's the former
God I hate Win11
Are there any emulators NOT owned by extremely anti-consumer companies? Mumu being owned by NetEase doesn't fill me with any more confidence than LDPlayer does.
does sirius or kaza do more against med
kaza

confused on if i should finish retrofitting portland or spend them on saint loius? is she even good?
Can you develop roon?
i mean i hate this option, but uh now.gg browser is a thing
Imo, Roon would be better
would she be on my team?
probably not
so i know the ships in later series are pretty good do i even need to finish constructing the earlier ones?
roon ibuki and saint will very likely be used
Imo, Just keep retrofitting Portland, You would need to spend a lot of coins to make saint Louis dev30 anyways, and you can get the retrofit materials later for her
lvl 14 hornet still my bitch , lets go
okok will do
soon tho i'ma need a 2nd fleet so thats why i was thinking about finishing saint louis but
What chapter are you in?
are you at W9 yet?
If not, dont bother too much on a 2nd fleet, much less putting more focus on research ships
Just do 9-1
Try to overlevel your ships at 9-1
oh ok, i think it was sushigummy that said the war archives maps are a lot more oil efficient is the xp better 9-1?
WA is better if you CAN'T get to chapter 9]
mmm okay, i think i'll start grinding that after event is over
Would a lvl 100 kaza be gud to replace my lvl 120 Laffey, To fight against A lvl 14 Meta Horni
It really depends on the rest of the fleet, but I assume she'd just die
Guh
Da others
Why are you tanking with Sandy?
People said she's better than portland, With her aug
whos the people
At damage yes, not as a tank.
in this context I'd say yeah
because that fleet would literally explode w/o an actual tank
would it? Hornet META's vanguard pressure isn't that high from what I've scene
lets test and see
Fritzy 
I forgor
also, praise our glorious leader mebot
sandy is quite tanky if there are planes to shoot
Also +5 levels
san diego retrofit out tank san fran front, my goat san fran washed
is this lvl 15?
was portland not 125 in your sheet mebot 
isn't San Fran ideally middle of off-tank anyways, for her skills?
lvl15 doesnt exist yet
oh
you place her depending on what your vanguard needs
How is kearsarge?
overkilled the fuck out of it, so should be fine
yeah but she's not a tank, so out-tanking her isn't even a question
very good, but hard to use
shes good at tanking shes good at dps and she heals
you just decide what you need at the moment and she fulfills that
what
sanfran is a tank
Wdym hard to use 👁️
being >= 100% on mebot sheet means they are a tank 
The fleet posted above had San DIego 125 and Helena Laffey 120
I guess, but she's like... ideally positioned for mid or off-tank, with a dedicated tank
there are waaaay better dedicated tanks
she was one of the best tanks for her time
2021
shes still a tank lmao, having better tanks doesnt invalidate that
yes
and also placing her anywhere beside front makes her lose her tanking capabilities
thats her gimmick
i have a fantastic augmentt idea now :)
I kinda like San Franhealsco
only kinda like and not love, bad tank confirmed
I might get cooked for this but I honestly prefer just saving the materials to retrofit helena for sandy instead
that's a perfectly normal take, retro'ing Helena does fuck all early, and even later on you don't need what her retro offers past some tankiness
sandy who
improved radar scan plus EVA boost to the off-tank, that's her entire kit improved
if anything, you retro Helena so she can use SG Radar in conjuction with HSFCR
San diego
San Diego
Eagle Union CL
equally Sandy's UE is already a solid power boost to her that you could also delay her retro 
Just don't use hsfcr early
should i try pulling her in requisition?
I'd like to know how an early to mid game player got their hands on an HSFCR 
whats hsfcr?
an end game BB tool 
Fdg + musashi + raff or nj + musashi + raff
for what?
Boss
again for what boss
You will generally perform better with raff instead of FdG
Campaign
W14
neither of those fleets are working in 15
Triple BB is asking to get murdered
Where are your CVs
you're gonna need a solid CV to drop some damage
It's not the damage that's the problem anyway
Amagi fs5 hak yk2 and fritz
screen clear is gone
Just use Fritz and Amagi , now I wonder what tf you are running for mob
got Chkalov?
No
she's a good option for 14
But he has** UR CVs **
yes, he does
what ships give bb/bc acc at 120
How's agir? Is she good
Fleet tech tracker for Azur Lane
one of the best tanks you can get 
whats consider low AA for a ship
AA sheet mentioned
well that brings up the question of what do we even consider average AA
P-Portland?
I was thinking something like Cleveland or Helena
or the new kitty AA
yeah but that is for later 
has anyone called it the cAAt yet? lol
not everyone can be rich and have 6
also I just prefer not to, just call it the Twin 76mm Mk37 or something along those lines
oh just had suggested it because it'd be on that guide
I just call it new UR AA
which one
im 2 prints from my first stag
not the old one 😛
yeah but what I was getting at is that not everyone will be intimate with which one is which
because very few of us bother to remember dates and such....
if someone's at the level where they're considering UR equipment, it's likely they'd know tbh
not particularly
hsfcr does more than that lol, it gives hit and fp and good for BBs in campaign
because when a piece of gear was added isn't terribly relevant for anything
eagle ur aa in that case, vs iris ur aa
I will mark down the date they put down URudder
the hit is the main thing, timing stagger also helps in campaign but not the main reason to use it
also hsfcr prints drop from research, i got like 3 of them by the time i hit 14
does not change what I said lol
proto store wont hav estag prints huh, going to have to luck draw on my researches?
pretty much
hmm. oh i have enough to make my first hazemeyer
it is an endgame BB tool but its also more than that
sorry if i caused a fuss 
calling its use for endgame is just wrong when its stats are very useful for campaign and you pick the lowest use for it to tell a new player what it does
last part of campaign is part of 'endgame'
end game consistent of 14 + 15, ops loops, meta, CM...what else, no ya end game tool
anyway if he's still around the hsfcr is good to use on BBs for campaign because it gives hit and fp
no one's arguing not to use it in campaign
a more appropriate response would be that its usable in alot of things and can just stay on your BBs constantly
even then an early to mid game player is not going to have an HSFCR 
certainly not enough to even fill a fleet's worth of BBs
How much crit chance does hit and luck give?
Do high efficiency double XP too or just items?
if their research goes at a normal pace they should get hsfcr around the time they get their staags
Per 1 LCK is 0.02% additional chance of crit
staags are also endgame building blocks
there's no dedicated source for HSFCR, so it's very RNG to get 1 print, the only thing going there is that it's in every Research pool
staag is also rng, and comes in every research pool, so staag and hsfcr are acquired about the same time
I don't care about STAAG, I didn't bring that into this
and hit stat?
these things are called 'endgame' because they can be critical to endgame (including end-campaign) fleetbuilding. up until w14, you can get away with lots of subpar options
Per 1 HIT is roughly 1/2250 ~ 0.04% additional chance of crit
Yes also XP or yes just items?
I wouldn't lump W14 in there
of course you can use them as soon as you get them, but they're important in endgame
nore even W13 really
ty very much
13 can be a big turning point too, yeah
the difference between newbie and endgame is quite wide
not really...
its just time spent on the game tbh
What is considered endgame?
time spent, but also how far you've got in that time
depends on your own definition really
I think 13 onward at this point 
i consider endgame to be w15 and only that
I wouldn't dare I say even call W15 end game
120 tech farming 
15 is definitely endgame
end game definitely is just
- 13+
- Ops Loops
- Meta
- CM
- Tech Grinding
like I said, everyone's definition differs
13 and 14, they're at least a ramp up in challenge/planning if not considered endgame
I would define end game as being done with all relevant content in the game and just grinding tech
that's post-game XD
oneshot meta, onestrike harbiter are concepts made up for longtime players to show off and thus i dont consider them endgame
Endgame is more than 60 Rudders
so only w15 is endgame to me
but I have more than that
Welcome to the endgame
I'm just running out of ships to skill level, and grind to 120
oh yeah mebot, just a random popcorn thought, did you ever look into how vanguard positions(main tank, middle, off tank) affect eHP?
what level is a lvl 15 meta boss ?
I haven't LOOKED at it. I only have the 3/6 1/6 2/6 assumption.
126 or 128 irrc
Do you want me to run some tests
