my fleet is kinda just what i had

[stuck copper]

my idea was to level ships that might actually be useful, instead of wasting my oil on a bunch of crap that will just rot in my dock

[toxic scroll]

thank goodness aurora was at least decently leveled

[flat palm]

my fleet is cheap

[verbal obsidian]

lewd lewd lewd

[toxic scroll]

belfast, aurora, sirius lmao

YEAH DEUTSCHLAND IS UGLY

ESPECIALLY THAT BIKINI SKIN

Spee is waifu af

[stuck copper]

the l2d is bad

[warm bluff]

i like how lewd it is

[stuck copper]

It is but she would stomp on me so idc

[flat palm]

[stuck copper]

Her default art is fine

[cosmic pier]

no she wouldnt stomp on you

[stuck copper]

default is fine, princess is fine

[cosmic pier]

cuz she isnt real

[stuck copper]

[desert harness]

She'd stab you

[flat palm]

@verbal obsidian did i hear lewds

[desert harness]

Not stomp on you

[stuck copper]

That's fine

[cosmic pier]

[toxic scroll]

whatever kills me faster

i'll take whatever i can get

Ajax > deutschland

[stuck copper]

Highly debatable

[toxic scroll]

literal trash > ajax

[stuck copper]

But they both do the same thing

So why not both?

deutsch has more edge

[verbal obsidian]

Zui > your waifus

[stuck copper]

Deutschland also has a gun

[flat palm]

Ajax has a cute anniversary skin

[desert harness]

Ajax is infinitely better than deutsch

[toxic scroll]

I honestly don't care for KMS ships that much

other than tirp really

[stuck copper]

Yeah but can Ajax shoot out my kneecaps

(probably)

[flat palm]

probably

[desert harness]

Yes

[cosmic pier]

[ornate mantle]

I love the designs of KMS ships.

[cosmic pier]

medal

[warm bluff]

i like zeppy

[ornate mantle]

Those mecha-dragon shrimps they got going on is top tier.

[stuck copper]

KMS ships have great design but some are lacking

[toxic scroll]

i can't get into them

idk why

[desert harness]

Zeppy cute

[stuck copper]

I want a little Ironblood shrimp

[ornate mantle]

They do have that though.

[desert harness]

[flat palm]

leipzig is cute and shy, and then you have deutschland who looks like she could be a guy in a metal rock band

[toxic scroll]

maybe it's my USS ship bias

[flat palm]

[toxic scroll]

[stuck copper]

USS has the best moms

early KMS doesnt feel very KMS to me

[toxic scroll]

USS has Helena, every other nation is irrelevant

[stuck copper]

That's a weird way to spell Washington but sure

[toxic scroll]

washington boring

[stuck copper]

[toxic scroll]

lexington has a more interesting personality

and lex has the personality of a rock

[ornate mantle]

You can say that for about every "Ice Queen" in the game.

[flat palm]

USS has sandy

[toxic scroll]

it's not even that lex is an ice queen

she's just

so monotone and boring

[stuck copper]

You can say that about every other ship in the game

[flat palm]

except for yukikaze

[stuck copper]

Except bulins

[flat palm]

my tsundere queen

[ornate mantle]

Well, Monotone is like the defining personality trait concerning tons of character types.

[toxic scroll]

HA

I PREPARED FOR IT THIS TIME

[ornate mantle]

From Ice Queen to Kuudere.

[ornate mantle]

So I don't see Monotone as a valid criticism, lmao.

[flat palm]

lol

nagato oath skin chibi is cute

[toxic scroll]

it is when they have absolutely nothing else going for them

ikr

[ornate mantle]

But they do.

[toxic scroll]

i love nagato's oath skin

[ornate mantle]

They're the "Mommy" archetype.

[toxic scroll]

i'm not into moms

sorry

[wintry sonnet]

someone said moms?

[ornate mantle]

Yeah, that's preference for sure.

[toxic scroll]

every ship is a preference

[stuck copper]

and there are nearly 300 of them

[toxic scroll]

and aquan that was fast

[wintry sonnet]

my spider senses were tingling

My H senses are always tingling.

Fucking Slay me.

i want them to sandwich me

[wintry sonnet]

I mean those are nice thighs but

[stuck copper]

I want literally any ship to smother me with them

[wintry sonnet]

german engineering tho

[stuck copper]

they make for nice pillows

I'm in class pls

What does Friedrich refer to you as

[wintry sonnet]

[warm bluff]

i like nicholas' line, she understands me perfectly

[flat palm]

[stuck copper]

She calls me child???

[flat palm]

Ya

but then she refers to you as her lover later on

[stuck copper]

Interesting

[flat palm]

[wintry sonnet]

yeah, on her acquisition she starts with "Welcome back, my child, what do you wish that I bestow you with? Wealth, Glory, or youth? "

[stuck copper]

Oh my God

I need her so bad

[flat palm]

i want all 3

My Ibuki comm comes back in 3 hours.

[carmine coyote]

Claims rewards from the research tech, gets nothing but projects that want money and cubes

[flat palm]

i hecking did it

monarch 2m done

now.. we wait

and somehow collect 30k coins

[wintry sonnet]

I've been getting bamboozled by projects recently

so many no procs

[flat palm]

oof

[wintry sonnet]

on the plus side I'm getting my last run of SP3 in

after that I can go spam exp on 11-2

[desert harness]

SP3?

[stuck copper]

Monarch 2m would be nice

[wintry sonnet]

running lb0s for lower oil costs

[desert harness]

70% done with ibuki

Ah understandable

[wintry sonnet]

also affection farming

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

SP3's a great place for that

since it's piss easy at dr0

and you still get purple plates

unlike most SP maps

[desert harness]

SP4 has a lot of belgun bp

[wintry sonnet]

I'm good on belgun so that's not a priority for me

[stuck copper]

SP4 got a lot of good items: tbtsk, belgun, 120 twin

[cosmic pier]

needing extra belguns in 2k19

[desert harness]

Tbtsk too

[cosmic pier]

[wintry sonnet]

SP3 has a ? node

meaning extra coins

[flat palm]

not bad

[desert harness]

O shit true

hmm..

[desert harness]

Idk if I even got it to safe

[stuck copper]

Nepgun?

[flat palm]

got a roon medium, do i send it out before bed or reroll

[desert harness]

Do you need roon?

[flat palm]

well shes my first pr bote

[desert harness]

If yes, doit

Dewit

[stuck copper]

Yes

[wintry sonnet]

I only reroll if I have nothing but cubes/big coin sinks

[flat palm]

i kinda wanted a large but yea i guess

too risky

[desert harness]

If you reroll you'll get 5 smalls

[flat palm]

ok sent owo

decent

ty game

[desert harness]

Have good sleeps

[flat palm]

Thanks

[wintry sonnet]

anyone gotten close to finishing any pr equipment so far?

[flat palm]

let me see

[desert harness]

Finishing pr equipment?

Give it another week

[wintry sonnet]

hm, closest I'm at is 10 for the 40mm bofors

[flat palm]

8/25 nepgun, 11/25 roon gun and 8/25 saint louis gun

[wintry sonnet]

followed by 9 on the 203mm

[flat palm]

my 3 closest

[wintry sonnet]

ah, my 3rd one would be the washing machine at 8

[flat palm]

i need to start doing free projects for 2 days after i get this roon one back

preferably

need 30k coins for monarch..

zz

[wintry sonnet]

I need to stock up too, 3 ships at 100 affection that I can retrofit

shit's gotten so bad I fell below 95% collection

[flat palm]

[stuck copper]

Sad

[wintry sonnet]

no money to retrofit anything

and I still need 20k on the pr payment

[desert harness]

Im at 10 for the air radar, 8 for the triple 203, and 7 for the triple 381

[stuck copper]

[flat palm]

i spent some coins to mlb elegant kizuna ai

and like 15k on projects today

so only got 15k left

30k coins for monarch is so expensive

[wintry sonnet]

most of my coins got eaten from gear skin boxes

[ornate mantle]

I too must do free commissions for a while now.

[wintry sonnet]

cause it took me up till today to get the last goddamn shell skin I was missing

[flat palm]

you know, it costs 60k coins to finish the friedrich project

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

but new PR dont require specific ships to farm no?

[flat palm]

same faction but can be anything ya

[stuck copper]

60k coins seems too little for such a perfect goddess of a ship

[flat palm]

class wise

[wintry sonnet]

so it should be a piece of cake

[flat palm]

the last friedrich missions cost 60k coins and 10 cubes i think

well its 3.6m xp

[wintry sonnet]

put up full fleet of specific nation and just farm away

[flat palm]

but ya

[stuck copper]

3.6m exp

[flat palm]

u can use zeppy

[stuck copper]

Oh lordy

[flat palm]

and graf zepp

for friedrich

[stuck copper]

So I can just use 6 KMS ships and farm hella fast?

[flat palm]

well

[wintry sonnet]

ayup

[desert harness]

Only 3

But 3 main fleet kms

[wintry sonnet]

no he means for PR2

[flat palm]

its 1.2m xp on backline and 2.4m on vanguard

[stuck copper]

we might be as well wait for another year before FDG

[flat palm]

i forgot which one was which

[desert harness]

Oh

[wintry sonnet]

wait, what?

[desert harness]

Yea

[wintry sonnet]

but you can farm them at once no?

[flat palm]

nop

[wintry sonnet]

nani the fuck

[desert harness]

No

[wintry sonnet]

[desert harness]

Lmao

[wintry sonnet]

that's even dumber than before then

[desert harness]

Still gotta do them one at a time

Why would that change

[stuck copper]

Bruh

[wintry sonnet]

Oh, I see

Earn 1.2M Expicon.png from sorties with Ironblood Main Fleet
Complete 8 Research Projects
Prepare 3
BattleshipT3BP.png
(will be consumed)
Earn 2.4M Expicon.png from sorties with Ironblood Main Fleet

so the only difference is you dont need specific ship class

[flat palm]

ya

[wintry sonnet]

just specific fleet row

[ornate mantle]

Yep.

[desert harness]

Hope u were playing during the kms event

[wintry sonnet]

ok, that's... eh

[desert harness]

[dense wing]

umm

[wintry sonnet]

I mean it's not as bad I guess?

not sure lol

[ornate mantle]

If you didn't play during the KMS event I think it's impossible.

[flat palm]

yeah

[wintry sonnet]

it is

[ornate mantle]

Unless you get Zeppy.

[flat palm]

zeppy is also abit important

[wintry sonnet]

you can have enough KMS ships to unlock roon without the KMS event

[ornate mantle]

But then when she's gone you're kinda fucked.

[wintry sonnet]

so I'd imagine the same applies for frieda

[flat palm]

welll

[stuck copper]

Is Spee in permanent pool

[flat palm]

we'd have bismarck too for it

[ornate mantle]

Oh true.

[desert harness]

Farming 2.4m xp with one ship would be actual hell

[ornate mantle]

Bisko.

[wintry sonnet]

actually...

is there even a KMS backliner

that's not limited?

[flat palm]

hm

[stuck copper]

I think no

[desert harness]

Nop

[stuck copper]

so far, no

[wintry sonnet]

well shit

[flat palm]

just the kms sisters who arent rly gacha/drop related

[stuck copper]

so anyone that hasn't got even Zeppy would be pissed

[flat palm]

yee

[wintry sonnet]

well, I imagine if JP doesnt have the event in archives already

they soon will

meaning you can get them any time

[stuck copper]

archive won't help you to get ship from construction

[wintry sonnet]

isn't that why they gate the events to replay them in there?

[stuck copper]

you can only get the ship from drop at best

[dense wing]

children boats do not count towards fleet tech

[sudden fiber]

it only lets you do the event map

its not a complete re-run

[wintry sonnet]

wait, I'm confused then

[dense wing]

so even if you did get zeppy, it wouldn’t matter

[wintry sonnet]

how do you get the draw box/shop rewards?

[stuck copper]

you can use Zeppy to farm

tech point isn't a big matter right now

[wintry sonnet]

if you can only replay the maps and assumingly they add construction ships permanently, how do you get ships that dont come from either

like, if Nagato event gets archived, how do you get mutsu

she's only a point reward

[stuck copper]

can you even get Nagato from map drop?

[wintry sonnet]

you can't, she's construction only

kawakaze was the drop

mutsu was point exchange only

Haruna was shop purchase only

[stuck copper]

yes

the archive won't help much

[wintry sonnet]

[stuck copper]

you can get Zuikaku from D4

but if you missed Shoukaku, it seems that you are messed up

[wintry sonnet]

hmmm

@oblique mantle ebil pls

guess he's busy

[stuck copper]

soon or later they would add all the ships into pools, as well as removing some

the question is: when?

[wintry sonnet]

honestly it's long overdue that they updated medal exchange

[stuck copper]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Bismarck is medal exchange for 999 idk

[verbal obsidian]

time for my ever so lovely commute home

[stuck copper]

the f? :v

[verbal obsidian]

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

if she was permanently available for 999 medals I'd be cool with that

gives you a reason to stockpile medals

[clear gate]

I finally got Atago lmfao

[stuck copper]

I got her like yesterday lol

[wintry sonnet]

Seems legit

[stuck copper]

inb4 how to get Bismarck: you do construct to get 4 of her fragments, 5 of her fragments can be done with map farming, and the remaining one is via EX mode?

[clear gate]

I've been playing since almost the beginning of the EN server, mind you

[stuck copper]

I would've been happy a long time ago but

I read Friedrich's lines

Atago is weak

[clear gate]

Requiring EX mode would be gross

[wintry sonnet]

I mean, an Akashi-style quest would be neat

we haven't had these in forever

[frank ingot]

bismarck hidden quest

have to do a series of things that aren't mentioned to unlock

[stuck copper]

One requirement is to retire a copy of every ship that participated in her sinking

[frank ingot]

[stuck copper]

inb4 you need to do world 12 100 times

[frank ingot]

sure just release w12 first

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

you could have a questline where Bismarck demands you to prove your skill before she joins

cause she doesnt follow plebs

[stuck copper]

What kind of skill

so, Dorsetshire, Rodney, KGV (not yet in-game)

[wintry sonnet]

joke's on you

we'll propably do chapter 12 100+ times

just farming for new ships

Junyou, Hiyou, Maya

[clear gate]

Choukai

[wintry sonnet]

er, Choukai

same shit

[stuck copper]

I finally got Monarch

[wintry sonnet]

[clear gate]

Maya lol

[wintry sonnet]

they're sisters, it's ok to mistake them

[clear gate]

They're like the least similar of the sisters

[wintry sonnet]

details

[frank ingot]

hiyou is

dem abs

[stuck copper]

why not translated it?

[frank ingot]

will they release 12 before 120

[stuck copper]

I don't read moonrunes

[frank ingot]

120 comes at w13 right

[wintry sonnet]

Try reading the part above

that says priority

[ornate mantle]

It says Priority up top.

[wintry sonnet]

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

man, sucks that UI got delayed tho

I was looking forward to 60 fps

[stuck copper]

Makes no difference tbh

it is not "priority"

[clear gate]

60 FPS means less battery life

[wintry sonnet]

makes no difference

Begone you console peasant

[stuck copper]

I literally play on PC

[clear gate]

For a desktop game, I welcome 60 FPS, but not for a mobile game

[stuck copper]

It's a mobile game and not an FPS type game

[ornate mantle]

Not carrying a charger whereever you go.

[stuck copper]

It really doesn't matter as long as it's not like 10 fps

well, who should I focus on next (sans Roon)?

[warm bluff]

i mostly play on emulator now because battery life

[stuck copper]

Sans

[wintry sonnet]

Sans Roon

[stuck copper]

excluding Roon

Ik

Hey Sans

[clear gate]

I dunno, who's the most waifu of them

to you

[stuck copper]

*get

[wintry sonnet]

Sans Ginosad Roon

[ornate mantle]

I plan on Mobile since I like being able to move around and play rather than being stuck in one place.

[stuck copper]

among all PR ships, I don't feel too fond of anyone, and I don't like Roon, so I wouldn't be using her

I like roon

[warm bluff]

go with the meta pick like me then

[ornate mantle]

@stuck copper : Who do you have left to pick.

[clear gate]

My laptop has the right specs and the right operating system to run AL natively without needing to rely on an emulator, so if I want to play on the go I can use that and not tank battery life

[stuck copper]

Saint-Louis, Ibuki, Neptune and Izumo

[clear gate]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stuck copper]

Get Nep

[ornate mantle]

Literally, if you don't like any of the girls, the only thing to go for is Meta... If you don't care about Meta, it doesn't matter who you choose

[stuck copper]

Nep nep

[wintry sonnet]

I only play on phone when I'm away from my pc. No reason not to use a superior machine

[stuck copper]

I use my PC to find AL material

Heh

[wintry sonnet]

that's like making a hotdog in a microwave when you got a proper oven

[ornate mantle]

I just find it more convenient to not have to switch between the two.

[clear gate]

I have multiple monitors, so it's actually easier for me to play on desktop

[ornate mantle]

I'd rather just keep the game localized on my phone at all times.

[clear gate]

if I'm at my desktop

[dense wing]

it being in “moonrunes” is a bug

[stuck copper]

Multiple monitors smh

Can you send me one

[warm bluff]

multiple monitors is amazing

[clear gate]

I have a spare I think

[dense wing]

I wonder how many people see bugs a day and dont report it because its “not important”

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

dual monitor is a huge help

[clear gate]

Mind you, they are all old, cheap monitors

[wintry sonnet]

AL fullscreen on one, watch animoo on another

[stuck copper]

Aww

[ornate mantle]

I just have my phone set up right next to my laptop.

[clear gate]

So I have this triple monitor setup where the primary one is a 25" 1920x1200, and the secondaries are on each side

the secondaries are 1280x1024, rotated 90 degrees

[stuck copper]

What are the refresh rates tho

[clear gate]

Just 60Hz, I don't gun for high refresh rates

[warm bluff]

i guess i technically have triple monitors too, 1 main, 1 side, and my drawing tablet lol

[stuck copper]

Mine is only 75hz so I'm a little bummed

[clear gate]

I think the right one might be 75Hz but IDC

[stuck copper]

Can't make use of the fps I could be getting

[clear gate]

I don't have the specs to go for high FPS, nor do I want to

I'd go for higher resolution and quality instead

[stuck copper]

okay, I will go for Saint-Louis next

since I am not too fond of anyone, I'd take whoever is easier to get

[clear gate]

If I ever get a high end GPU, I won't be using it for 100+ FPS

I'll be using it for 1440p or 4K with full color coverage and nice image quality

[frank ingot]

i'll be using it for watching funny cat videos

[clear gate]

People like to talk about FPS, but image quality's often overlooked

[frank ingot]

💻🐱

[stuck copper]

I mean

[warm bluff]

i dont ever use my high end gaming computer for 100+ fps because i dont play games anymore

[stuck copper]

1080p 100+ fps > 1440p like 60 fps

[clear gate]

It doesn't matter to me, I can barely see a difference between 30 and 60 anyway

[stuck copper]

Frame rate is almost always more important than image quality since 1080p and 1440p gaming doesn't have much difference tbh

[clear gate]

My eyes aren't that fast

[stuck copper]

Or this might be because I dealt with shitty hardware for most of my life so I just love my frames

20 fps CSGO was hell

[wintry sonnet]

I'm in the framerate camp too. I'll take an uglier looking game that feels smooth and responsive over an eye candy slideshow

[clear gate]

My PC spec reflects the "I don't care about getting high FPS" mentality

[stuck copper]

I'm currently running smooth and responsive eye candy slideshow

[clear gate]

It's not really a gaming PC, it's a multitasking PC that happens to be able to game

and that's how I like it 🦊

[wintry sonnet]

oof

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

I haven't done danger level on 11-2 yet

[clear gate]

Oh

[stuck copper]

Highway to the

[clear gate]

Sounds like you need to fix that

[stuck copper]

danger zone

[wintry sonnet]

not sure if I should just go yolo with my vanguard exp farmers or first drop it down

would Takao Atago and Isuzu work?

[clear gate]

Now I have to know your spec @stuck copper

You can't just talk about your PC and then not give specs

[stuck copper]

Lemme see if I remember off the top of my head

Processor: i5-8400
Card: GTX 1070ti
Ram: Patriot Signature 8GB (will upgrade eventually)
Mobo: MSI H370 gaming plus
Case: Phanteks p400

Uhh

Oh right

My drives are some generic hard drive and a Samsung Evo 860 (?)

And then Corsair smth psu

[wintry sonnet]

8gb ram is so very oof

[clear gate]

Mine's

let's see

[wintry sonnet]

so many games nowadays eat up RAM like an asshole

[clear gate]

• CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
• GPU: MSI Radeon RX 460 2 GB
• Board: ASRock AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac
• RAM: 16 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX
• Storage: 490 GB worth of cheap SSDs
• Case: Cooler Master Elite 110
• PSU: Silverstone Strider Gold 450W SFX
• OS: Fedora 29

[stuck copper]

8GB is fine

[clear gate]

See, mine's not at all similar

[wintry sonnet]

I had constant memory issues before I upgraded to 16gb

but then again I like playing with a buncha mods

[clear gate]

You can tell what I prioritized

[stuck copper]

Yeah that's a you issue

[clear gate]

Cheap GPU, hammy CPU, more RAM

[stuck copper]

Ryzen 5 1600 h

There's a sale for Ryzen 5 2600 on Newegg

[clear gate]

I built this before the 2600 came out

[wintry sonnet]

I have just one question

Fedora OS?

[stuck copper]

what are thoseeeeee

[clear gate]

Linux

[wintry sonnet]

Could they not have gone for any more hipster name

[stuck copper]

M'lady OS

[clear gate]

They named it that looong before the fedora memes took off

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Kinda too late to change the name

[wintry sonnet]

poor linux

[stuck copper]

Lmfao

[clear gate]

It got that name because it's a spinoff of Red Hat Linux

[stuck copper]

M'lady

[wintry sonnet]

yeah, that... isn't any better

and Red Hat came out in like 1994

Well before we knew of "memes"

[wintry sonnet]

especially now Red Hat is a very unfortunate name

[stuck copper]

I'm pretty sure memes were a concept way back when

[clear gate]

But not as we know them today :3

[stuck copper]

Just not "meme" memes

Foreskin jokes probably weren't funny back then

[wintry sonnet]

[clear gate]

Anyway that's how it is

[stuck copper]

That's how mafia works

[clear gate]

so now we have Fedora Linux

[stuck copper]

Neckbeard Linus

*Linux

[clear gate]

I also built this PC before the i5-8400 came out, but I don't regret that at all

[stuck copper]

[clear gate]

I think this is a better CPU for my use case

[stuck copper]

Honestly the i5-8400 is aight but I'd take a Ryzen 5 2600

Only slightly worse iirc but cheaper

But eats RAM like a motherfucker

So idk

[clear gate]

Depends on what you mean by "worse," i5-8400 and R5 2600 are like within 1-2% in gaming

Plenty of people have tested

I'd take the R5 any day, I like my CPU threads

[wintry sonnet]

this should be fine for the time being

[clear gate]

Isuzu is adorable

[stuck copper]

Then again

[desert harness]

Ur adorable

[wintry sonnet]

Whenever she does the hand waving and open mouth I pretend she's making Yoshi sounds

[stuck copper]

Productivity is not my forte

[wintry sonnet]

[clear gate]

As for the GPU, I could've gotten a GTX 1050 instead of the RX 460 and that would've been faster, but... Nvidia drivers on Linux 🤢

[stuck copper]

If anything I'd go with Intel since mounting coolers aren't as much a pain in the ass

But yeah

You could get an rx580

[clear gate]

Really? I prefer the AMD lever-style coolers

[stuck copper]

If you want to upgrade

[clear gate]

I hate Intel's stock coolers

[wintry sonnet]

uh, shit... I forgot my boss comp

[clear gate]

I'm waiting for Navi before I decide if I want to upgrade

since I'd prefer a 75W GPU

[stuck copper]

Lol using stock coolers

Cryorig H7 gang rise up

[clear gate]

Lol using a non-stock cooler on a CPU that can't even overclock

P:

[stuck copper]

[clear gate]

Cryorig makes some nice coolers I hear, I haven't actually used one myself though

[stuck copper]

I like to see those numbers low idk

[dense wing]

another #technology discussion?

[stuck copper]

I got my H7 for like $30 so it was a steal

$30 for a quieter, cooler experience is worth even if I can't overclock (yet)

[wintry sonnet]

fuck it, baylife

[stuck copper]

[clear gate]

Honestly if doing 3:3, you can use pretty much whatever for bossing in w11, as long as everyone's at level 105+ and the composition isn't awful

[dense wing]

[wintry sonnet]

sucks that Ibuki doesnt count with DDs

ambush is gonna be a bitch to deal with

[cosmic pier]

just dont get ambushed

[dense wing]

goodluck

[clear gate]

Just hope that your SG radar does its job

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stuck copper]

Good luck

[wintry sonnet]

it's the 2 heavy cruisers I gotta tow with me that I worry about

not the lack of SG radars

[clear gate]

I go into sorties with horrendous recon value all the time, it'll be fiiiiine

[cosmic pier]

its fine I dodged 5 ambushes in a row in 11-4 with desu spee leip

[wintry sonnet]

hmmm, unless...

[stuck copper]

Can't relate

[wintry sonnet]

I replace one of them with Jintsuu

extra dmg reduction wouldn't hurt

but it feels wrong not to have Atago and Takao together

[stuck copper]

It's fine

I used Takao solo for the entire time I used her

[toxic scroll]

wait, that's illegal

[stuck copper]

Just imagine that Atago is doing her job properly and being with you

[wintry sonnet]

actually

I just remembered

it's chapter 11

I can roll submarines for 11-2

Pizzicato can gambatte

[clear gate]

I think I burned up all of my bulins

welp

Guess Gamer Kizuna's not getting MLB'ed today

[toxic scroll]

oof

i think i have them all being used in comms

[clear gate]

Your bulins in comms?

[toxic scroll]

no

kizuna ships

[clear gate]

o

I was like "wtf"

[toxic scroll]

yes, my bulins are comm slaves

[stuck copper]

Hot

[toxic scroll]

gotta make them work for their dock space

[clear gate]

I actually have a purple and gold bulin locked for the collection

Not gonna use them but still

Gamer Kizuna is actually pretty effective so far, just hasn't gotten the chance to really shine yet since underleveled

Her barrage is funny

[wintry sonnet]

hm

-8.4% off enemy hp

I'm gonna need better torps

[toxic scroll]

better than what i got lmao

[stuck copper]

Rip

[wintry sonnet]

maybe it's time to mlb dace and i-58

didnt wanna do it cause I'm still missing I-26 and they share the timer

[ornate mantle]

fair enough.

That Uboat will come to me someday.

[clear gate]

Fwiw @stuck copper the stock coolers on AMD CPUs are actually very quiet 🦊

:3333

[stuck copper]

[clear gate]

Especially the R7 2700X cooler, that thing has actual heatpipes

Ok

back to topic I guess 🦊

[stuck copper]

Righto

Uhh

[clear gate]

U-boats

Also I finally finished Ibuki

[ornate mantle]

Woohooo.

Congrats!

[stuck copper]

Yay

[cosmic pier]

yey now get all the bps

[clear gate]

I had 20

[oblique mantle]

@wintry sonnet what?

[wintry sonnet]

hai domo

[ornate mantle]

So.

[oblique mantle]

Yo

[wintry sonnet]

ebil, did you try the archived events before

[ornate mantle]

Is the Affection gain in 1:1 the same as every other map?

[clear gate]

HAI DOMO!

[oblique mantle]

Not really since I always get what I need

[desert harness]

KIZUNA AI DESU

[solar fjord]

[desert harness]

[oblique mantle]

Sup lonk

[clear gate]

BAACHURU GEEMAA KIZUNA AI DESU

[wintry sonnet]

Can you check if there's anything for obtaining the non-construction, non drop ships?

[solar fjord]

sup

[desert harness]

Nani

[wintry sonnet]

Like, for example if a ship is points or shop only

how do you get it then

[oblique mantle]

I’m pretty sure the answer is you don’t

[wintry sonnet]

[oblique mantle]

But I’ll go fuck with it just for you

[wintry sonnet]

my hero ❤

[oblique mantle]

Lets go back in time

[wintry sonnet]

ah, good

Mikuma should be points-only on that one

[oblique mantle]

Here we are

[wintry sonnet]

lotta stuff I dont recognise

[oblique mantle]

This?

[wintry sonnet]

the thing in top right and the button in bottom left

[oblique mantle]

Bottom left is the time rewind for event

Top right is how much I can be in that timeline so to speak

[verbal obsidian]

Pepega 360 no scope

[ornate mantle]

Woah what is this.

The CN event thing?

[oblique mantle]

Its jps powers

[wintry sonnet]

so, 30 sorties?

[oblique mantle]

Yes

So you cant go to a shop and grab shit basically

[wintry sonnet]

oof

[oblique mantle]

Your fucked if you don’t get it when it actually happens

[wintry sonnet]

so if anyone on JP doesnt have mikuma by now

they're boned

[oblique mantle]

Unless its a drop from these maps

[ornate mantle]

I mean, they'd probably make it available another time.

[oblique mantle]

[wintry sonnet]

well they should

there's alot of point/shop only ships in the events

that you can't get by alternate means

[ornate mantle]

North Carlinia.

[crisp palm]

i am more concern about YKK mogami then mugami

at least they are useable

[wintry sonnet]

norcal was farmable allegedly

never got a dupe in the event so I'm not sure

[crisp palm]

i think a mod here didn't get YKK on her rerun

[ornate mantle]

I don't believe it, lol.

[stuck copper]

h

[oblique mantle]

Meh

[stuck copper]

Oh this is my lucky day

Large project with 0 cost

[wintry sonnet]

I mean ykk and mogami shouldn't be an issue since they were constructable

[oblique mantle]

I don’t care much sinceI just smash every event

But maybe

[wintry sonnet]

it's the ones that were neither drops nor construction that are gonna be a problem

[ornate mantle]

OH.

Apparently NC was a drop.

interesting.

[wintry sonnet]

allegedly

[clear gate]

NC was droppable and also obtainable via points

[ornate mantle]

Wiki says she was...

[wintry sonnet]

never seen her in my hundreds of runs

so I'm not convinced

[cosmic pier]

you're too small a sample

[clear gate]

I don't remember if I saw her via drop

[cosmic pier]

I got 2 in 10 runs

[stuck copper]

Oopw I was fighting the boss fleet without auto on so it was just standing in place

[clear gate]

oops

[solar fjord]

NC never dropped for me

[wintry sonnet]

I remember seeing a few of, what's her face...

Wasp

and that's about it

[stuck copper]

Ironically enough I took less damage than usual since it wasn't ramming into every ship

[ornate mantle]

NC never dropped for me either.

[wintry sonnet]

1 west virginia and no norcal drops

[clear gate]

In the end I got everyone from that event except Washington

[stuck copper]

Oh rip

[ornate mantle]

Ouch.

I got everyone except Maryland.

In 40 cubes.

[clear gate]

Washington's not really my type anyway, but it was still frustrating going into PvP and seeing Wash+Sodak like all the time

and I'm like "oh come on"

[ornate mantle]

Washington isn't my type either.

Short Hair Mommy not my thing.

[clear gate]

Hair length doesn't really matter to me

[solar fjord]

She was my first ship with enough EXP for Lvl120

[clear gate]

It's personality 🦊

[ornate mantle]

I love long hair... not a fan of short hair.

[solar fjord]

bewb mole is the winner

[ornate mantle]

I think my favorite is probably Drill hair.

Like Chaser, lol.

[wintry sonnet]

Freud would be proud on that

[clear gate]

lol

[oblique mantle]

Nc was from gacha for me

Now she runs around with her sis and anothet

[wintry sonnet]

the box gacha you mean

[ornate mantle]

Yeah.

[oblique mantle]

Mhm

[ornate mantle]

The Bacha

[wintry sonnet]

come to think of it

[oblique mantle]

Othertimes I run Dakoto and Big mama

[wintry sonnet]

we technically "had" a rerun of FW

[oblique mantle]

Just so good

[wintry sonnet]

since they added new ships compared to CN's first run

[stuck copper]

I want South Dakota to smother me

[wintry sonnet]

does that mean our rerun wont add new ships?

[ornate mantle]

I should level up my Colorado.

[oblique mantle]

Idk

[ornate mantle]

We got rerun.

So i doubt we'd get it again.

[solar fjord]

Maryland was my fav

[wintry sonnet]

so when we get the rerun, we get 2-3 weeks of no cube spending

[ornate mantle]

That'd be glorious.

IF we got rerun.

[wintry sonnet]

ok, that was pretty funny

I got ambushed on 11-2

and submarines instantly ran into them and damaged them

good girl Pizzicato knows how to support

[ornate mantle]

Ambushception.

[wintry sonnet]

as for the 3 Colorado sisters uh

never really considered which is my fav

it'd a pretty close race between Colorado and West Virginia

[ornate mantle]

Colorado is definitely my favorite.

[clear gate]

Colorado for me, but def not the biggest fan of any of them

[ornate mantle]

Have some lewds of her that are MMMMMM MMMM Good.

[stuck copper]

Mine is West Virginia followed by a hair by Colorado

[ornate mantle]

I like using the Big 7 ships.

They come in handy too often.

[stuck copper]

Rodney

[cosmic pier]

I like maryland's original more than the new one

[clear gate]

Same lol

[oblique mantle]

I just want South Carolina now

[wintry sonnet]

Rodney used to be slightly above for me

but Nelson's Witch outfit is just too 👌

[clear gate]

Though, have you heard of the reason we got new art for the Colorado sisters, @cosmic pier? Because it's kind of a... dumb story

[stuck copper]

Nelson is aight and all but like

[cosmic pier]

I know

[stuck copper]

Why

[cosmic pier]

@oblique mantle norcal's bunnygirl suit first

[ornate mantle]

Rodney is my favorite of the Big Seven.

Then Colorado.

nelson.

Not sure if I should count Nagato and Mutsu.

Since they are Big Seven.

[clear gate]

@stuck copper basically the original artist went on a big rant about how AL is a shitty game and Warship Maidens is better

[oblique mantle]

Not before I get hornet 2

[ornate mantle]

but are specifically Sakura Big Seven.

[stuck copper]

AL
Shitty game

[ornate mantle]

[wintry sonnet]

honestly, if Sakura gets their own big 7 barrage

others should too

[ornate mantle]

I think so as well.

[stuck copper]

IJN bias

[oblique mantle]

Biiiiaaas

[ornate mantle]

I'd like retrofits.

Eagle Barrage - Big Seven

[clear gate]

So anyway yeah, the response from AL team was to just drop the guy and commission new art

[ornate mantle]

i mean.

[stuck copper]

I mean

[ornate mantle]

They did a service to the three ships tbh.

[wintry sonnet]

I mean

[ornate mantle]

Much better art.

[wintry sonnet]

Some of the old art was ok

[clear gate]

I preferred old Maryland but not the other two

[stuck copper]

Ig

[wintry sonnet]

I still kinda feel betrayed they dropped the glasses

[ornate mantle]

Maryland is the only one who didn't change design was but was basically redrawn.

[clear gate]

so I think overall it's a net gain

[stuck copper]

The new art is a little edgy but it's much more unique than the before stuff ig

[ornate mantle]

The other two got much needed makeovers imo.

I have too many lewds to add to my collection.

I'm getting overrun.

[cosmic pier]

originals were brought over from cancollection or sth

new ones were brought over from kms

[stuck copper]

Tbh

[wintry sonnet]

We didnt need that info azu

[cosmic pier]

[stuck copper]

My collection is hitting 3000 soon

[cosmic pier]

they didnt really fit in USS before, they still dont

[clear gate]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ornate mantle]

@wintry sonnet : I'm the supplier.

I keep my customers in the know.

[wintry sonnet]

if that's true where's your artist tag

[stuck copper]

[ornate mantle]

I'm not good enough to give it out.

Since I just draw Chibis.

[wintry sonnet]

chibis are something

[ornate mantle]

i've been meaning to make a Chibi Ibuki and I-13... but IRl keeps getting in the way.

[stuck copper]

Oh boy Yukikaze clutched since the AI sat her in front of a suicide boat at like 0 HP but it did 1 damage

[ornate mantle]

then maybe give some free commissions away here

[oblique mantle]

Blegh

[clear gate]

0 - 1 HP is still death, Lila 🤔

[oblique mantle]

Yukikaze

[stuck copper]

YUKIKAZE SAMA NANODA

[clear gate]

Yukikaze is one of the few ships in AL that I think is legitimately funny

[wintry sonnet]

KC Yukikaze > AL Yukikaze anyway

[stuck copper]

I like her chibi

[wintry sonnet]

flame shield on

[ornate mantle]

Ew.

[oblique mantle]

Yukikaze is fun to bully

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

she's a brat who thinks too highly of herself

there's no room for bratty kids in my backyard

[stuck copper]

It's your job to put her in her rightful place

[clear gate]

Yukikaze is god-complex-dere, she talks shit because she's actually insecure

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

not to mention she gets preferential treatment

skin right off the bat, oath skin before any of the original VDIR ships

how much can one ship get REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[oblique mantle]

Yeah

Wasn’t a fan of that

[ornate mantle]

I'm not a huge fan of YKK's personality.

[wintry sonnet]

I mean fuck me she evne has a secretary questline

[stuck copper]

She's cute so that's all that matters

[clear gate]

Cygnet and the millions of skins 🤔

[ornate mantle]

Next you know she'll replace enty as the poster girl.

[oblique mantle]

Waaaa before zuzu ever did

[stuck copper]

Yukikaze Alter but she's an actual God

[oblique mantle]

Doubtful

She probably ain’t gonna be chosen

[wintry sonnet]

I mean I get that saru's basically locked in Yostar's dungeon to keep drawing

but c'mon can we get some other artists too

[ornate mantle]

I like Saru. He drew vestal which is enough for me to worship him as a god.

[clear gate]

One of the things I've liked about this game is that there aren't alt versions of characters

[wintry sonnet]

one Vestal doesnt make it right

[stuck copper]

Tf is this shit

[clear gate]

except for collab ships, but I don't count that

[stuck copper]

Really?

I play Heroes and people bitch endlessly about alts

[clear gate]

Yah, I like that there aren't alts in AL

[stuck copper]

Yeah

Deadass some character in Heroes have 7 alts per person

[clear gate]

Most gachas I've played have them and I'm like "come on man"

[oblique mantle]

Heroes?

[stuck copper]

SEVEN

[oblique mantle]

Feh?

[stuck copper]

Yeah

Just a casual 7 Corrins and 7 Tikis

[oblique mantle]

I quit that game after minerva lost to camilla

[stuck copper]

6 Camilla, like 6 Azura

Uhh 4 Ryomas?

Fire Emblem is boring and Heroes is nosediving

[oblique mantle]

A character with a personality lost to ara ara thot
