cant afford pancake plane for aquilla (yet) Bf ap or something else?
Seahornet if you have it.
i have 4 YD
it's fine to run it at +10 for now
yeah
any amount of intercept is better than bf109
if you have a Tigercat you could use that as a temporary replacement
if you don't have any of the 2x1000lb bomb fighters, just use skypirate
this is with aquila flag, right? i rather prefer either musashi/vg flag, most other ppl have aquila off-flag in their defense fleets
you can run musashi flag with wnt and put feather on aquila instead of wnt then put beaver + hpfcr on vanguard
Reason why there's comments below that lol
Plus13 tiger or pancake?
and sea hornet, sea hornet was BiS until pancake
I mean, plus13 tiger at or plus10 pancake
oh
oh
not sure, I'd go for +13 tigercat personally
Don’t have the plates
+13 one
yeah, +13 tigercat until you could +13 the pancake
the manual mkix'?
yes
You dont need black torp 
Why is everyone saying black torp is needed to put pressure on the backline? It’s just helpful
Pure parallels with proper speed adjustment can hit backline semi-reliably even without teatorps, and even if you don’t resetting is okay especially for non hardbaggers
my teatorps very rarely hit the backline cuz attacker starts very far away and the enemy vanguard generally attracts the magnetised torps towards the sides
it all depends if u prefer consistency or volatility
@floral wave what's the gears u use in ur 3 BB comp?
hmm, VG 406mk4, Warkai 457, sushi 410kai?
sushi 356
why is wnt good?
damage reduction, HIT, and EVA
Can anyone suggest a good exercise fleet for beginners?
Yeah, gonna need a list of your ships and gear to even start making suggestions.
That isn't just 'copy meta'.
The PvP guide in pins has fleets, but nothing beats crafting an available PvP fleet with the ships you have on your dock rn
Do any ships reliably replace Shimakaze? I've been looking at a lot of the meta teams in this channel and the pins, and she's the only one I'm missing
Anything but Shima is pretty cope.
Harbin or Aya work if you're truly needing to cope.
harbin not as much cope
These are the ships that I have and my fleet on PvP, any suggestions or upgrade that I can make ?
started playing on Nov 2022, so I'm missing a lot of ships
Just do your daily exercises for merit
I wouldn't even think about competitive pvp this early into the game
ibuki good for pvp?
Not particularly.
hmm i see what are the tops CB rn then?
Anchorage >>> literally every other option by multiple miles.
shit i dun have her, whos second to best then
Even agir is pretty trash in pvp.
Tanks aren't that good in pvp. Anchorage is just busted.
oh so we dont use them then?
Your tank is made of paper in pvp thanks to preload torps and current meta ships.
So torp reduction and evasion boosting is way higher priority.
Without Anchorage everyone else is equally as squishy.

She's a staple you can't compromise on.
i see, imma just avoid anyone using anchorage then
That's basically everyone.
bruh
She gives a 35% evasion boost to your entire Frontline.
And she's insanely tanky, and she can use manju.
Everyone who cares even remotely about pvp uses Anchorage.
Yukikaze
Better than other competing options, lacking Shima's pressure but fits better with slower fleets
Using Harbin/Noshiro makes your vanguard too slow unless you stack speed on Anchorage, and Ayanami is a cheap, inconsistent option that swings heavily making her not ideal for hardbagging
when I pvp I my fleet power is always a little bit lower, what is being lost?
Don't worry about fleet power it mostly comes down to ships/gear, for example my main fleet is only 16k and I still beat people with 18k fairly easily
And if u want a better pvp fleet just post your dock and wait for someone to help you
Fleet tech
Fleet tech does not apply in pvp
whats fleet tech? like skills based on the composition of the fleet?
Oh he just wanted to know
Fleet Technology is a system that allows you to gather permanent stat bonuses for maximum limit break ships. Bonuses are earned by each shipgirl in two ways:
Direct stat bonuses.
Faction tech points. These are used to increase faction Tech Level, which also gives stat bonuses, cognitive chips and coin.
Collecting shipgirls and raising them to l...
of that fleet tech, thanks
in reality your fleet has 0 difference, its just that the displayed number is different

Yostar staff preparing an announcement to extend the maintenance by exactly 6 hours 
No 4 

So close yet so far.
Who won in Amagi?
Kotori 😭
unultra did
I'm glad I emptied all my tries
Yostar staff preparing an announcement to extend the maintenance by exactly 5 hours 

If they did I can get eos 
acting like there isnt an extension every maint
Hi, do you have any pvp attempts left? lel
lel

Hello, esteemed individuals of Azur Lane Official's Player-versus-Player channel. Could anyone please rate my Tier 0 Musashi Weeb fleet and its construction? Would love to hear some feedback from the great players here 
You could potentially get #1 eos with that but I get the feeling you have done so already

Feel like this is something else... but answer nonetheless.
Shinano: Fulmar to Suisei 12a
Hiryuu: Sea Hornet or Flapjack, whichever you prefer, though that VT-17 squadron plane is fine if you have a lack of either
Musashi: Either Plygun or Twin 137 over Nepgun secondary, whichever you prefer
I'll let someone else finish it, about to sleep

Off the top of my head other than that, sexy bofors or the new UR gun on your Vanguard would be a good upgrade.
I'd maybe give your Yukikaze the pearl and a tool box, give Juneau a boiler for speed.
DDs need hp more than evasion since they come with high evasion and low hp.
🍿
No advice Brah?

Do i still receive less points than usual if i fight the person on the left?
Yes. You will get a 9 for doing that.
Fuck
You need to be rank 6 to gain a +10.
Hm
So in order to be #1, you just don't use all of your attacks
Even late season
Except maybe at the very end?
To get #1 eos you sit at 5+/10 the entire season and sandbag for your life.
Rushing sees the top of the ladder more often but you won't end up high on the eos.
It's a food chain.
Which i tried
Thing is i sleep in 2 hours so i just empty my 10/10 everyday before we get 5/10 in 10 minutes
You ideally hold it till 30 seconds on the final day to truly get a good eos.
Fuck that
Seriously
That just means any error can wreck you lol
By error i mean like something happens in real life that takes time from you
Or you don't beat the opponent first try
Yep.
Overcapping too.
If you overcap you lose 10 points and can get fucked out of eos.
Can't overcap if you rush.

just go about your day like normal and do your tickets whenever convenient
dont make your whole life revolve around azure lane pvp
People do that?
MK does
you guys have life?
nah bro, we're all robots

What’s the current best meta fleet?
Haven’t done pvp in a while feel like im outdated
Something like Musashi/NJ/Shinano/Anchorage/Shimakaze/Juneau
also a 3 BB option with any of these three: Musashi, NJ, Vanguard, Warkai, UvH, Seydlitz to add to these 4 fleets I just linked
Thank you! Is who’s Flagship? Musa or NJ or Shin?
musashi barrage too op
Musashi usually
NJ doesnt need it for hers
and shinanos barrage is just those butterflies
which do nothing
does anyone know why sometimes my airstrike can do infinite crash damage and sometimes do almost no crash damage?
I use a meeb with equip like in the pin but I only have one tenrai and one wyvern
depends on your opponents setup
I don't remember but they're a top tier fleet
gear difference probably
I think some of them use Aquila
non revealed CVs do 10% more damage
That could be it
is vanguard any good in pvp?
yes
i'm starting to despise anchorage more than shima
Nah fuck shima 😮💨
shima is fucking annoying but at least she dies instantly
anchorage tanks EVERYTHING for shima then stays there the whole fight
Both annoying 
If only they would give her a skin 
I want an Anchorage skin.
Manju Anchorage stays alive even through acts of God.
I can count on one-hand how often she actually dies on me.

Would the VH armor plating be good on Plymouth since she has light armor?
She can't equip VH armour plating and heavy armour takes more dmg from torps and planes
Ohhh right
I read it isn’t even that good but it should work best for heavy armor ships right?
it's mostly for opsi mobbing and campaign stages when you're using a CB.
It uses to be good on Amagi way back when Warspite snipes were still prevalent, like 3 years ago.
+12 

nice
Another +12 lol
Slingshot.
If I'm running meeb with ancho/noshi/Juneau frontline, what gear should I equip all of them with
I also don't have any tenrais
But I do have wyverns
what gears do you have on the fleet atm
I haven't put hiryuu in cause I don't have tenrais
Lemme put what I have in fleetmaker to show
This is what I have rn for pvp
Idk what torps/aa I should use for noshi and Juneau when I swap them
And if I should move my auxes from shinano to hiryuu
put another sexbofors on jun
or if u have the rainbow aa put it on ancho and then give the sex to jun
swap the gun should be fine
not sure how teatorps blacktorp does on noshi tho
might be better to just use magtorps and build tank aux
2 BB Shinano changes:
Musashi: Plymouth's gun as the Auxillary gun. If unavailable, Twin 137 DD gun from the Gear Lab instead. If neither are available atm, that's fine as it is.
Vanguard: Same Auxillary gun suggestion with Musashi. Swap her Rudder with Anchorage's Beaver Badge.
Shinano: Angel's Feather is an alternative to Frontier Medal. Down to preference between survivability for herself (Angel's Feather), or a bit more dmg for CVs and a bit less dmg for BBs on both sides (FM).
Juneau: SaltyArrow's advice regarding AA guns. If she's oathed, use Gyro. Otherwise, replace her Gyro with a Boiler. Double Boilers are also an alternative option for more speed.
Ayanami: That's fine. Between 76mm and that main gun, the difference doesn't really matter for nearly all situations.
Anchorage: See Vanguard's changes and SaltyArrow. Another option to consider is Cosmic Kicks instead of Rudder for her. The rest are fine.
Meeb request:
Musashi: Twin 410 kai in Gear Lab, Plygun/Twin 137, STAAG, AFCR, Beaver Badge if you use her off-flag. If she is the flagship, WNT is preferred over Beaver Badge.
Hiryuu: Flapjack/Sea Hornet, Golddiver/Helldiver (doesn't have a Tenrai yet, if so, prioritize it on her), Wyvern/Breguet/Barracuda (in decreasing order), WNT, AvGas; if she is the flagship. If she is off-flag, use either Frontier Medal, or a Gold Catapult instead of WNT.
Shinano: Same gear. Angel's Feather is more preferred than Frontier Medal for survivability reasons, though. If Hiryuu's off-flag, have Shinano use Angel's Feather.
The Frontlines: see advice above.
If you only have two Wyverns available, give one Wyvern to Hiryuu and use Breguet/Barracuda, Golddiver/Helldiver (Tenrai can be used if you don't use a 2nd Wyvern on her), and Wyvern for Shinano. Same auxes/aux changes for both CVs. (adding this part just in case you do have this situation)
sorry for wall of text, but it covers what to use to make your fleets better.
Thank you so much!
Welcome.
I ain’t reading all that 💀

I ain't reading all that.
I'm happy for u tho.
Or sorry that happened
I think that if u find that the vanguard is a bit too slow
You can consider using DD over noshiro
so like yukikaze/suzu/any filler
I don't have any idea of whether a vg is too fast or slow
Is there an easy way to tell?
do they sink after first airstrike?
speed probably isn't a problem then
CdL buff
my exercise rank is stuck at captain and will not tell me how many points to rank up. is there any way to fix this?
yeah, check the screen again
i did 5 exercises and it does not say how many more points to rank up and the bar looks full (here is before i won 5 exercises and after i won them) do i just need more exp?
@sweet breach refer to this chart for the requirements. Rear Admiral Lower Half and the other higher ranks are ranking-dependent, regardless of how many points you have compared to the state of the season and the points of the players.
You are at rank 3541 atm
it says i have 1050 points
RALH requires rank 1000 and above
i see
youre not getting past captain this season
i can never get past captain lol
don't worry, next season 2 days later you can go above Captain rank 
well then maybe start doing pvp when season starts, not halfway through 
it resets bro
i do pvp, i usually never get up to 10 possible exercises
people will outrank you, so you move too
i usually always do them at 5
yes and i usually do them i may miss 5 of them some days but i always do at least 10
doesnt matter
do i need to do all of them to get past captain?
also do i have to be 1000 seasonal rank or total rank?
you need to hit it once in a season to get reward
current rank needs to be 1000
and theres no total and seasonal
1050 points + rank 1000
if not rank 1000 even with 2000 points, then captain forever
yeah i dont think that i can do that
You can, if you do all exercises
youre 100 points above me and i havent done a single pvp in 5-6 days
but i need to go from 3000 to 1000 right?
took me a month of playing to get it but I am playing on a friendly server for newbs
you cant anymore, wait for next season
Not possible at this state of the season atm
Only time you could do that is literally early season
so since i started playing in early 2021 i cannot get past captain?
just do your attempts and win it in the early season and you can get it
For this season, you can't.
For the next seasons, hell yeah you can.
next season is on monday
On a bi-weekly basis
season is 2 weeks long
but i am 3541 and i need to be 1000 right?
it resets on monday
like the 2 are saying, its impossible this season, but next season should be doable
you wont be 3541
so what place am i at in the start of the season?
same as everyone since its the new season
same as everyone 0 points
does it matter what fleets you fight in pvp?
if youre not at the point of beating every opponent, yes
if you lose its just as if you didnt do the fight
No
But because of the hard fleets you will be encountering later on, a strong fleet is recommended to beat nearly everyone
i cannot beat everyone i look for low power fleets and i was just wondering if high power fleets gave more score or something
bonus points are calculated based on points difference between you and the opponent
so if i beat them with my ships barely taking damage then i will move up more?
its the number beside "seasonal" on the pvp page
seasonal = points
The "Base Score" section is the points you will get at your rank, e.g. Captain
and it does matter
it matters a lot
for getting past captain you need to be rank 1k or higher AND at least 1050 points
what is the highest rank that you all have gotten?

highest possible ingame since its pretty easy once you understand the system
and have a decent fleet i guess
how many players of each rank can there be?
you can reach aotn in a season and get kicked out in less than a minute, but you still get the bonus merits
what if your fleet is just average?
then you need to improve it
~~
~~
maybe if youre playing in amagi its fine since you can get 1 to 2 meme fleets on your list even in top 100
ok then, what is the highest rank you can get with an average fleet
i play on lexington
hard to say
1
yukana 
Technically it's true even with a half-assed fleet
Just expect a lot of resets against ppl with hard defense fleets
some random guy with an ayanami could get rank 1, that is true
don't know who that guy is

you guys realize his definition of average isnt the same as yours
can post fleet to sort things out tbh
got the three musketeers here

i will post my fleet 1 minute i am doing a battle

i am working on independence right now her level will be 125 in a few weeks
show dock
youre better off posting dock
i only have a few other level 125 ships and they arent that good
you are getting nowhere
neither of these are
it's fine, we can see what ships are great to use in the long-run if you post your entire dock, sorted by SRs and URs
here are first 3 i can send more if you want
beth denying juneau and hiryuu again 
They're the exceptions, there's too much ships. Would count as image spam
theres no image spam here, this aint gph
All for just 2 ships 
you have musashi and shinano, you dont want to use them?
they are not level 125 and their gear is not the best
musashi/shinano/Hiryuu/anchorage/ayanami/juneau
gear can be swapped
i have hiryuu but she is not retro
No New Jersey and Vanguard?
beth, read his name
i want to be able to beat the story tho

its like what if i told you that even at their levels theyre still better than your current fleet
we do not talk about vanguard...
ok... understandable. Yeah, follow Yukana's suggestion
it's fine
gear can be swapped more than once per day
i have all of the main fleet ships here but hiryuu is level 90 no retro and i dont have any of the vanguard ships here
in the story?
yeah story u dont need to gear for
all the vanguards yukana listed are permanent content
Juneau, 5-2. Ayanami? Every stage from 2-1 onwards, together with the other 3 starter DDs after MLBing the other 3 starters. Anchorage? PR4, permanent content.
i keep dying on 10-4 hard mode
anchor is free; aya is reward for MLBing the 3 starters; and juneau drops 5-2
you can get ayanami by mlb'ing the starters
juneau also drops in 11-3, 12-2, and all of w13 so no need to farm non-oilcap
juneau is elite after retrofit but doesnt need it to be useful in pvp
what exactly does oil cap mean?
I also recommend clearing out Memento stuff for great gears, e.g. WNT, Beaver Badge, Pearl's Tears. Ergo, you gotta MLB relatively unimportant ships too
why juneau is good
wow
means if oil cap is 30 and your fleet costs 100 oil to battle it will use only 30 anyway
yeah i found the beaver thing a few days ago so i am mlb them now

on every cleared stage starting 9-1
means no matter how expensive my fleet; the oil cost wont surpass this
i see
it goes up a bit with each stage
why
then start lvling americans 
indep retrofit is my only semi high level eagle union ship
backline uss gives most tp
oh she gets exp from backline? that is good i can finally use essex
no she doesnt
exp is the least relevant part of pr grind
yukana meant backline gives tech points to unlock ancho
but its the longest part, for me at least 
i have enough tech points to start any ship
so youre saying grinding xp is going to take longer than obtaining prints?
ok now that is close and it depends frm ship to ship
but overall, yes
juneau is a good start
just use two american frontlines with a good tank and unicorn retro in any world past w9 that you can comfortably grind
just level any good uss frontline
i thought juneau only gained exp from vanguard?
stop
too much confusion
wait i am researching kitakaze right now
and i have to wait a few hours to develop something else
ok i need to sleep now
then throw some american frontline into dorm for now
since you cant start grinding ancho xp right away anyway
@untold crater please stop being toxic
Fair
Shouldn't have excluded you in hindsight
Guess it's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles



yes, except for shinano flagspot
Did they change the point system?
I'm getting way more off of sandbagging unless I'm schizoing
like something that shouldve been a +11 gave me +12
the chart isnt 100% accurate, but if its "way more" then youre most likely schizoing
nothing has changed recently
+13 sounds like overcap into someone moving twice 
+11 at 35 pts difference
+12 at 71 pts difference
+13 at 108 pts difference
nothing's changed
is refreshing always worse
No, it's rng.
When I'm rushing I reroll a lot when I get to the top of the ladder to avoid +9s.
Needing to pull someone rank 10 or better takes a few usually.
if it's in the middle of the set and no one in your list has moved for a long while, I would consider refreshing then to be bad
if you have just won an exercise against a mover and you think the chances aren't great that anyone in your new list are going to move for the rest of the set, or they're going to move very late, and you're not saving refreshes to avoid 9s, then refreshing isn't bad
I should add that this is advice for you only if you're bagging, if you're rushing, save your refreshes for avoiding demerits when you're expending your attempts

silent made a major grammatical mistake, it's "WE mods cannot stand her"
what's even to look at here?
a bit W obviously

Low-level pvp. 
Hi, do you have any pvp attempts left? lel
Yes
Low level pvp is where the cool shit happens
The cool shit happens when real pvp happens
Hi how do you get high score in pvp?
by beating opponents that will give you bonus points as indicated by "min diff" in this image #pvp message
I have no clue how that works
if its just aotn, just not losing/missing exercises is enough to get you to admiral of the navy rank every season
I would like to try out getting to top ranks
every time you win you get points, the higher the point (roughly determined by rank) difference between you and your opponent, the more bonus points you get
I'll try this one out, thanks!
roughly its always waiting for the opponents on your list to do their exercises so that the point difference between you and them increases that when you beat them they will give you bonus points
What is a good fleet for exercises?
check the pinned guide 
how 2 git gud?
read beth guides 
i haven't made any guides
well, except fleet suggestions 
Thanks
Time to eos
Btw @warm crow you bagging this season?
probably not, just ping if you need points 
Bro, just ping him in CdL server 
cant im banned there 
He was here so I ping here
ALO best server obv
how many pvp server are there
Wdym by pvp servers? As in discords?
None that are public, CdL is a guild discord and CC too, CC open though but p much everyone there in ALM


do yall prefer torp bulge or just more boilers
and double gyro or boilers on juneau
i remember some dont like hp
I'm not sure at this point.
After running cosmic kicks+ 2x boilers I'm seeing my Frontline die a lot more.
But they are also kinda zooming.
Anti torp Juneau+ washing machine Anchorage dies less often for sure.
But speed means they eat tons of extra torps, but also run away from NJ barrages a lot easier.
Although.
When my Anchorage actually dies. It's usually the enemies Anchorage solo vs 2-3 of my backline.
Yeah
I'm liking gyro+bulge on Juneau rn because she doesn't get instakilled by Shima preload while dying at the ~15s mark consistently
I understand that, with higher speed you also do just run into more torps.
If the enemy Anchorage survives she's either half hp or have dcp
And Kicks on Anchorage makes the fleet move fast enough to avoid NJ barrage
I might throw torp bulge back on Juneau.
Sometimes both vanguards ram each other right at the start and face torp each other
I slept for 8 hours and literally nobody climbed 
heh
7 movers so far 
the pvp guide shows mic as a niche option for hiryuu, what usage does it have? same with awakening pearl
hit stat for mic which is good and aa stat which is also good, but it lacks evasion and there are better options
eva + hit
yeah, so basically good stats
eva+hit is usually what you want the most on your backline
Mic was used when a lotta carriers were present in meta
Now it’s more of a niche pick
i'm still thinking of birmingham
it's probably such a bad idea to remove my only decent vanguard dmg but stall woudl be so nice for shima counters rn
aren't her fp and aa absolutely nonexistent tho
Only reason u would even consider birmi is if you’re using indep
using meeb
the worst part of pvp is the changing gears holy fk 
@brave ridge bro can you move? 
Mic is pretty good...
Never luck on pvp 
Stay Salty 
I m to weak for All
is weeb fleet still competitive vs aquila fleet
SaltyBelfast tech.
salty gang rise up
I can never win on one of this fleets 
Weeb vs Mafia?
yea
is that named in the pin guide
ah, alright
guess i just got gated by vanguard dif then
Who you missing?
guys, is fdg fs5 good in pvp
Not as good as Warkai.
@empty mesa U can move
btw. i rush this season
nj shima aquila all
but mainly i'd like shima to change my vanguard
cos im deving harbin atm
Just use Meeb then with Harbin ig, though not as good as Shima since 
hmm, my musa shina hiryuu is well equipped
But most times you can clear with ease anyways
i just got gated by vanguard dif a couple times
Not many people run proper def fleets
yeah, but it's sad when i have to give up a good sandbag

No 9 
#1000 
whoa is that the EN tourney winner at #2???

dudes smurfing again
p sure that's his main
ye its a compliment my dear bongo 

Guys, who won Amagi?
Unultra
Unultra
Beth Log won this reset, Unultra won by retiring
Notice
Fate 5 FDG’s barrage no longer hit concealed CVs cus it has been changed from fixed to aimed
I'm unsubscribing
Use Fate Sim 4 FDG or something idk
fate4 new meta??
hello, i have no azur lane knowledge and im here to ask whats better for Anchorage - roomba or ur weapon from the gear lab
when i was waiting for restock around 5 second and hours at 8:00 AM i suddenly got 10 attempts

Anyone able to track their pvp rewards? I have a feeling the bonuses have been messed with
nope
if you managed to get aotn reward you should get around 32k each season
this were my past records, ignore the first two those was when I was cringe in pvp, the last one I just stopped counting
Sorry for the ambiguity, I am talking about bonuses
+1, +2, etc.
A bit
I got a +19 when it felt like it should have been a +18 or a +17

It was a rank 1.5k ish vs a rank 300 fight
I was hitting people in the low 100s when I was 2k and only got +17, normally that's a +18
Hard to verify since not in top 100
Weird, now that’s the opposite
Yeah hard to verify
@trail temple also they said they are patching FDG
So ig we can’t give conclusion quite yet

Man, what a pain
I know they like to make KMS ships bad, but they did out do themselves this time
/s
fighting someone unironically running manjuu / pearl juneau and it makes me wanna kill myself
i need to stop afking pvp
Tried to #gitgud?
Losing to manjuneau?? 💀
no i won it was just annoying
i just have really bad luck 
taking 20 resets for a single fight is skill issue 
Yeah, you shouldn't go past 1 if your comp is good, 0 against Juneau manjuu 
i'm literally missing the 1 ship that matters lmfao
no shima
but i have everyone else maxed out except a few ur gear

how do u manage to be so inhumanly intolerable
is saying skill issue constantly ur only redeeming quality
Yeah
baah

@winged depot Hello, is shimakaze good?
I heard someone was able to consistently get EoS and AoTN without Shimakaze. Is this true?
Shimakaze is such a broken ship! How will I ever be able to live without her?



Hacking
hacking ayanami proc rate, surely
True, check him pc
Think Gorrillaz did it a couple of times before his Meeb fleet was ready
running meeb without shima is pain
its not
Its not
say that to my aya doing 0 dmg
Then why use Aya
use harbin
i don't have better
or noshiro
Skill issue
I used aya on this one my guy
Shinaryu, musashi with ayanami
then you got lucky
or just stop using meeb, run triple bb to guarantee vanguard fight win
Pvp isn’t about how strong your fleet is
You just need a strong enough one to get bonus
The rest is about how you play
You can have a strong fleet but still have skill issue when playing
i used noshiro before 
You do
Have enough speed

sure
send what gear you used
Maybe when u play without shima u will see
Give me a bit
You do know that’s not enough? Shima buffs her own speed + Harbin with 2x speed does nothing ingame
It is enough speed, you don’t need to be zooming around the map to be considered “enough speed”
maybe if you tried playing without shima, you would have more credibility
On the top of my head, since I don't use it anymore
oh magtorp that's why you won
Whut
magtorp juneau the gamechanger
my bad i forget you're all fucking braindead
prolly means the black one
black torp
oh black torp that's why you won
then just run yukikaze
im not even using teatorps currently 
how do your ayanamis even hit 
the secret is to not use ayanami
i don't think using another dd would fix the issue of a full set of torps hitting and doing literally 0 dmg to a vanguard
because anchorage unfair

that's literally my whole issue with ayanami
Hmm when I was still using her if lucky enough she kills the whole frontline or just delete one backline except musashi
No matter how much she tries she can't oneshot musashi
30 resets for a single mediocre frontline fight is pain
i guess i'm jsut too unlucky to play pvp
Tbh, at least you have a musashi rn I started with vanguard, perseus, warkai and it was anything but easy
my early days were nightmares
my first aotn was richie, uvh, chise 
My first was with long island enterprise 
u guys got ur firsts already?
Bub 
show ship and gear setup.

akaga hood for aotn 
Vanguard Warkai Percy iirc for mine. And a subpar frontline
still haven't got aotn eos 
Stop pvping on boats
missing a few ur gears and +13s on backline but it's not like it matters because main isn't the issue here
juneau sometimes switches to double boiler / double gyro, anchorage sometimes gets sex bofors
also forgot to change nano's db
it's usually comet
Bow and quad mag oxy Aya 
i wasn't here for black torp so
Just drop Aya
i don't have a replacement
Or cope with parallel no black torp
Bub on his away to becoming an aotn wizard
what are your expectations for fs5 fdg after theyll patch bugged barrage
new meta
FdG fs5 barrage is bugged?
Huh I didn't know the needles were that powerful


3 strike hiryuu strong
According to nuygen, they've fixed fdgs barrage. Not sure if we got the patch yet.

Still though. For a coinable fs5 she's not the worst for pvp now if you lack tons of meta backliners.
Some of her inconsistencies were fixed by her fs5, she's not quite as blind anymore either.
if it works, it works 
good skin 
Based agir enjoyers
The feet skin
still doesnt beat noshiro/indep
It's a KMS ship, ofc it doesn't
is skyraider better than helldiver in pvp?
Skyraider is better than a helldiver if you aren't running 2x wyvern with it otherwise it's too slow.
If you lack a tenrai then yeah go ahead and throw skyraider on Hiryuu.
Can someone explain to me why friedrich is doing so poorly its been going on since I've gotten her and it's driving me crazy
Yes.
Her gun is bad and so are both her auxes and her AA gun isn't good either.
Your fdg isn't dev 30 either.
So she's missing most of her power.
your gun isn't +10 and not dev30, it could be that the fight ended before she fired anything
She fired at least twice
She has -1 mgm which means she tickles even if she hits.
Mgm?
Main gun mount.
It means fdg is at least 30-50% weaker than she could be.
This is roughly how I'd build pvp fdg.
The bottom gun if you lack a 457.
The mgm problem is because of not being dev 30 then?
I plan too I know she can be busted it's just gonna take me a while

Better to use helldiver, rockets are quite unreliable in pvp and you should keep hiryuu/shinano launch times closer together
Ok then
Serenity trying to take less than 10 mins trying to beat Famine with unorthodox setups?

I was wondering since skyraider have higher hp than helldiver and maybe rocket could oneshot shimakaze 
Like I could cover my lack of NJ with musashi but nothing can replace shimakaze 
Not having shimakaze is the greatest deadweight in pvp
oh no, another one

Though he says people without top ships should quit but isn't following up on it, so made this https://chng.it/CjjJ22S9

Lel
💀

what do u guys think of fdgs5 over nj
Straight upgrade.


I think I'll try out FdG
which gun best for juneau in pvp?
Would be smth along lines of twin 114, in future can just check pin
Been a bit now, how is York2 stacking up against Shinano? Specifically with Musashi/Hiryuu
she doesnt
sushi - hiryuu - yk2n... yk2n doesn't benefit from 2 wyvern bcs of her loadout
plus, shinano would fit in more than yk2n there because of musashi, hiryuu that'll buff her dmg output, a bit of synergy for running these ships.
only usecase I'll see Yk2n viable in a PvP comp is Yk2n - Enterprise/Essex-class CV - Indep retro 3 CV variant. Or replace one of the CVs with New Jersey.
Point is, Yk2n's practically niche here.
Got it, thanks. Have Shinano at 125 but never MLB'd her, guess it's finally time
What's the thought process
Apparently if you get your score just below the promotion and you get bonus, you could get even more score than you would normally got if you promoted first
1049 tech
weve all been doing that already
It's like early season matters
Any gun works well on her but generally you go for AA minmax
So, stop me if I'm being stupid here.
But I'm thinking of dropping Hiryuu for fs4/5 Fdg and just shoving Musashi flag without wnt. Anyone worth caring about will already have wnt on their flagships anyways and they don't stack. Fdg seems like new copium if you lack NJ.
Been thinking the same.
Though I'll wait for me geting my own FdG to Fs5 before I say smth about it
If I wait till midnight mine Is already fs4.
Then again.
Flagship fdg sounds kinda dope.
Flagship with wnt, she gets her 20% damage reduction off her skill and she gets a bonus for being taken down to 30%.
But I think flag shipping her wouldn't be worth it at fs5. Since flag gives Musashi's barrage a much better position to hit the Vanguard.
True. As I've read, fs5 makes her viable to go off-flag, since her barrages now aren't position-reliant. Image related
I'll flag her with wnt till I get fs5.

She's also 2x the hp of Hiryuu so that has some value as a preload sponge.
@little bobcat Hi, do you have any pvp attempts left? lel
Can you use them? 
no

im doing opsi rn
I didn't mean right now, anytime before the reset
oh yea i probably will
hi Ari 

That is a pretty easy to kill fleet 


The disadvantage of which is also there
It being aimed now means that she can no longer target concealed CVs
Which pre Fate 5 FDG can do
With bonus of using burn to spot them
It being aimed also have the chance of targeting the frontline
And with how slow the shells fly, you know what’s in store for you
Not saying that Fate 5 isn’t worth it, just that some people look for that niche of fixed barrage that FDG has for some comp to work

There used to be a niche comp of Richelieu and FDG
Where their fixed barrage HE shell burns would auto spot CVs
So you can run triple BB
This comp isn’t as viable anymore but just a proof of concept worth noting out there
Seems a bit lacking for pvp, her DPS isn’t high enough to make up for lack of survivability. She also doesn’t bring anything too spectacular
What's the opinion on the new main fleet aa guns? The "long range" fan shape thing
Fair
Yeah it's pretty trash.
It could've been something cool, but it turned out to be dead on arrival.
best

whos that guy
@rustic bridge is that you
that guy sus

Very strong opponent, literally took me 10 minutes to beat him, and by the time I managed to beat him apparently his hiryuu live literally 1s longer than mine and I ended up losing
Also it seems he use multiple wyvern rendering my airstrike useless, will craft more wyvern if I met another crazy strong opponent again
Good thing his NJ doesn't use manjuu, it would be impossible to beat if she has manjuu
You lost to Donald Trump. In other words, you got walled.

If you run into my team let me know how that goes, I'm now curious.
His shimakaze is literally broken like in a few run my ayanami managed to oneshot his NJ and Shinano with preload, but for some reason his shimakaze already decimated my vanguard and killed one of my backline
Serenity is Avrora
wondering if its the same person
I hope the next UR can replace shimakaze, ayanami literally contributed as much as Juneau 
Triple torp preload??

Also let's be real.
Shima+ her usurper would still be in pvp.
You'd stack them to guaranteed nuke the Vanguard and backline.
Who needs Juneau when your entire Frontline kills the enemies immediately.
defender's vanguard starts closer to your main fleet, defence has an advantage when it comes to torps
Well more BB is better when shimakaze breach the backline
I'm still probably running manju Anchorage.
Keeping your Frontline alive so the enemy Vanguard isn't face hugging your backline is pretty important.
Every time I see someone's Anchorage blow up early I just laugh.
It makes little difference when I fought shimakaze
Cuz 50% of the time my fleet decimated their backline but shimakaze decimated my vanguard and it ended up with musashi having to kill whoever still alive with her secondary gun
Most of the time it's either anchorage, shimakaze, or duca abruzzi
The only time I saw it happen was when I was using kicks+ double boiler.
People look at fights?
Both vanguards were point blank torping eachother.

Kicks boiler and anti torp bulge has fixed Shima doing any kind of significant damage to my Frontline.
hello
Avrora 5/10 seasonal points check
curious if i have any chances for top 10 on final seasonal rank
What's your pace? 
would be #1 with 2 points more than current #1 if rushed 5 left
no luck for rushers last 2 days
only 1-2 ppl with bonus each reset
😵💫😵💫
I mean current score
1286
at 0/10?
that's 16 points below me and i'm on break 
:/
If going for eos you don't 0/10, but atm your pace isn't too good
Can make it up maybe
looking for that
In general continue bagging to familiarise yourself with people that move for next season
y once went for 0/10 and couldnt avoid 9pts
haha doing spreadsheet with potential rushers
