I already had some equipment and enhancement prepared
So if the switch does happen, at least ik I would transition over quickly
how's triple torp gears back in the day? wanna see it
Oxygen + Black Aux + MKIX Noshiro
Oxygen + Pearl + Quint Rainbow Naganami
Oxygen + Black Aux + MKIX JIntsuu
This was before Ancho's release
And before Manjuu's amd WNT's release
So your Azuma and your Juneau would basically get 1 shotted
MKIX can also be swapped out for Japanese Quad 610
先ほどのイベントにて黒魚雷こと533mm磁気魚雷(水上艦用)、皆さんは集められたでしょうか?
私はイベント分に加えて1本分だけ追加で収集しました。
今回はそれを使って、大陸で提案された編成を使っていきます。
黒魚雷の存在意義は一つです。
威力最強の610mm魚雷を磁気魚雷化すること、つまり短期決戦設備ですね。
基本的にはイベント海域のエリート粉砕用です。
この編成はそれを演習で採用します。
装備として雷装・命中を高めた神通・長波・能代の前衛3人が
さらにスキルで雷装・クリ率・クリダメといった全体バフを互いに掛け合い、
危険すぎる一撃を放ちます。
注意点としては伊吹の2連撃は片方が通常弾に戻ってしまい相性が悪い、
雷撃戦再突入スキルも同じくスキル雷撃が勿体無い事になる...
If you have any request, please let me know in the comment section.

There's some channels still have vids of it
The darkest days of AL pvp, there's no concept of survivability and every fight is just a DPS race

the old days where Tanikaze was regarded as a strong torp buffer

In short: glass cannon comp
When triple torp was at its peak, it wasn't glass canon
Simply because no other comp has enough survivability to out stall and counter attack. At that point, both sides have equal chance of getting one shotted

But currently, it is an entirely different meta
not even other triple torp?
It doesn't necessarily out stall
Since both side would die

There's no counter attack happening like with a stall comp, it is just equal massive dump
@flint python I'll just leave this here
Triple quickshot plane triple torps 
Scary comp

Also JIntsuu Meta
Since Jintsuu Kai can't buff CAs
That's also partially why Ibuki wasn't included in the torp meme comp back then
why bong torps? because they go to the center because of the torp aux?
same thing 

but yeah meant jintsuu meta
Noshiro works as well
In that comp
But since Jintsuu meta is newer, I'm more incline to test her out instead

backline snipes and tight pattern
man I miss the old water visual even more after watching those vids
hvar tech is crazy 
hows unzen looking as a potential shima substitute
try and see which one has better odd of survival
i dont have shima and nobody has an unzen ready how am i supposed to test it
well i intend to give Unzen 1 washing machine + 1 rainbow torp
i'll see if she's better than my double-torp Shimakaze
its not going to be fair if you dont skill unzen
why half ass it
all out or nothing
Why washing machine just slap black torp
Unzen lives a bit better than shimakaze anyways
I am missing unzen Percy and Aquila for this 
Oh and shima
I'm truly so disadvantaged TwT
If you commit to triple torp
Don't half ass it
There's no such thing as survivability when running triple torp

no
Unzen doesn't compete for that slot

If you don't have Shima then her re run is like in a few weeks' time
Who is a better sandwich torp between harb and jintM
"If you don't have a Shima just build one"
what if they fail Shima gacha again
Depends
On the last slot
I'm gonna fail shima gacha because unzen is being a bitch
So many questions about substitutes when the based answer is just "get them all"

JIntsuu Meta needs to fire torp first
My options are unzen(I hope) for aggro or Juneau for stall
So a Jintsuu Meta and Unzen as copium substitute still works
I still need to pray for gacha rng 
Or you could even swap the Unzen out for a Harbin
As copium substitute
And it would still work
If you have high enough copium then any substitute would work
No one has Jintsuu or Unzen maxed yet so any discussion right now are about what works in theory
PvP isn't a game mode where you can give all the other ships worse gear and compare then to the non maxed ship like some pretty good player would do 
lol is that a copium way to evaluate non maxed ships??
Tho what I will say is that I am a bit excited
The last time I was this excited was with Gridman meme comp
Before the devs nerfed it into obilivion that is
It is possibly the first meta...meta ship

It has been like 3 years since meta ships were introduced and finally we have one that has potential for pvp
Unless CN complains about her and she gets nerfed just like DDGs were
DDGs got nerfed?
DDGs' survivability in pvp I think
Back then backline mode would get the same debuffs as normal DDs
So yeah
Oh god
Light armor, damage reduction, evasion rate, high evasion stat
Now they even get their damage dealt reduced 
Yes
pfft
Devs forgot that stacking evasion on DDGs just means that enemy BBs can't hit anything
Since people were mostly running AP as well
CVs hurt them fine tho
with all of those buff + concealment....
Crash damage ignores evasion
Crash is consistent it seems
I don't care much about the high evasion but before the nerf they could nuke vanguards at the start
But yeah the BBs were mbruh against them
Was it pre-ancho
Yeah Missiles and their consistent targetting
I remember one shooting Duca from full hp
Basically at the time
Ancho still took some damage too probably because missiles were faster than airstrikes
DDGs were preload BBs with high af anti light consistent damage
with CV concealment mechanic
high af evasion and DD level pvp buffs

They would've had super high hit stat too right?
Nevermind, they weren't faster than Anchorage
But still 1 DDG was enough to nuke Duca
今回はミ駆単艦運用なので自己バフが強力な鞍山を使っていきます。
主力配置のミサイル駆逐艦による開幕攻撃は軽装甲に特攻を持っており
一瞬で敵前衛を削りきる破壊力があります。
気付いたら相手が1体消えてる事もザラで乾いた笑いが漏れるばかりです。
しかし速力が高いと回避される事も多く、島風等がいるとなかなか当たりません。
そのため今編成では先頭エーギルの高速魚雷による開幕減速でミサイルの命中率を高めました。
一見凶悪にみえるミ駆ですが弱点も多いです。
一つは先に述べた高速艦の物理回避、
また対主力艦に対して火力が伸びない、発見ゲージが空母より強固で他の味方主力の負担が増えるなどがあります。
そういった事で長期戦に弱く、海軍条約などにも厳しい戦いを強いられます。
一方で余儘戦などで軽装...
they barely damaged An Shan lol
New tech just dropped?
wdym?
Pompeo tech

neither
dd torper options are, shima, yukikaze, ayakai. in that order from best to worst comparable to other torp dds (might forgot some other)
they want black torp + pearls tears
One message removed from a suspended account.
teatorps
the quints in the RN gearlab
main torp options rn are:
Teatorps (gear lab) + Black Torp (Aurora Noctis WA D1)
USS Magtorps (gear lab) + oxytorp (core data shop)
Now that blacktorp is here. Teatorps are now accessible to all gamers
One message removed from a suspended account.
Yes, black torps makes the first torp magnetic. The other torps after that won't be magnetic though

the spread of mag torps suck
One message removed from a suspended account.
parallel torps, because of its pattern can hit the same ship. Basically killing a ship or two, and if not, cripple her
Meanwhile. Rainbow Quint mag. Yes it can hit a lot of ships, yet it rarely does kill or wound a ship the same way Parallel torps do.

There’s 3 ways to set it up
Depending on the type of DD and comp
1/ Survivability DD: Hybrid or Tank build. Usually Pearl is placed on DD with the other being a Boiler
2/ Torp DD in Standard comp: Hybrid build, usually 1 black aux torp and pearl or boiler
3/ Torp DD in triple torp comp: full damage, black aux and oxygen torpedo
One message removed from a suspended account.
Tea torps are necessary against comps with Anchorage
Since they ignore Anchorage entirely
And goes straight to the BBs in the backline
That’s the main selling point of them currently, they can potentially cripple or 1 shot a backliner
bruh 239 points away from next limitbreak
One message removed from a suspended account.
bruh ur question is same as white guy against black guy
as long as it has nj and musashi in it, you know where its going
is musashi , vanguard , persus. bad main lane?
persus
Yes it's like 1.5 ships instead of 3
💀then what im supossed to use
Musashi, NJ + whatever third you like/have: FdG, Shinano, Seydlitz, Aquilla, Enty (if you man of my culture)
what's your roster. Post dock
surely you have good ships to slot into a pvp fleet
Also Hiryuu. Forget about her
not good for pvp tho
preload only if she had fighter
Musashi, Enty, Seydlitz ig
what abt vanguard?
You gonna restart for Lucky E proc tho, but it may work fine
i mean tbh my front line dies kinda easily
or this ye
you prob wanna grab ancho asap
It's natural — you dont have Ancho
She is must have to survive
do your meta fights as well jintsuu meta gud
isnt warsprite retro better than seydliz tho?
No lol. Too little damage from Warkai
damn
Seyd should have an IB partner to proc buff and preload tho right
you can use her without another bratwurst but then seyd will be a bit weaker
at that point wouldn't using Warkai be better then if she doesn't have IB to proc?
damn i shouldnt retro warsprite no bunnies now 💀
or be chad and use Amagi or SoDak 
why isn't plymouth used over harbin in the top fleet? for players without shimakaze
harbin smoke
ply also has no preload
how about why she uses goldburn?
shes durable enough to be able to farm another salvo
goldburn gives an additional 35 rld for any vanguard ship used by it
plus 550 hp
I’m not really a Goldburn Harbin user
But from what people who do use it have said
The 35 extra reload may come in handy when trying to sync smoke
Ofc, the HP helps as well
And it isn’t just Plymouth, a lot of other Rainbows like Hakuryuu, Drake, Brest, Kronshtadt, Yorktown 2, or Implacable simply doesn’t work in pvp. Even copium Agir or Ulrich von Hutten aren’t as effective anymore
Or some that were formerly usable and stopped being good anymore like Azuma
Even the effectiveness of Bismarck Zwei is questioned in pvp
yeah i can seee why those aren't really pvp relevant
So to clarify….these quintuple British torps from the gear lab + the black torps farmable from the aurora noctis war archives are the best torps for PvP?
And are those also the best torps to use for cruisers like the Unzen?
And the alternative option would be the mk35 American torps + rainbow oxy torps from the core shop?
yeah p much
the teatorps need black torp aux to be good though
mk35 is magnetic but has similar fire pattern in return for 1 less torp
Can you combine the black torps and oxy torps for a pure damage build?
Thanks!
Can Unzen replace Duca?
Seydlitz is so good it’s worth bringing an IB vanguard instead of Jarbin/Juneau to proc the FP buff. Agir works fine but Felix is where it’s at.
bismark2 vs NJ who is better with sardegna set up?(vv, aquila, duca, shimakaze, anchorage)
NJ, Bis2 isn’t good. But you’ll struggle still, Italian fleet is very outdated
I got the eagle union elite damage control, should I put it on juneau
or wait no it goes on anchor nvm
…
what's the problem? should be 12?
120?
@thin summit
i mean i literally own 99% of the fleets
this is the only fleet i've lost to for the past 3 months
Man, this is Juneau.
what u mean Juneau is like giga meta
But they outdamage you by a slight margin
Are you not aware of the prowess of Juneau Christ?
Juneau is bad, use Hardbin instead
Juneau is 25% heal upon death iirc
no, juneau is meta
And also has good AA
are you trolling?


atleast on there

Then that means someone found new meta 
unless you're saying it's not valid anymore and not up to date
yeah sheet is old, use Kearsarge instead
i mean i don't have kear dev 30 yet
hvar kearsage 
Kearsarge instead of who though 
could use Musashi - NJ - Vanguard instead then
better to show your gearing
it's the proven #1 fleet on JP

according to world champion player Quyet Nguyen
but she isn't in the game yet
u probably just got rnged @gusty cipher
Rng beloved
looking at the screen op
yeah that or they might have like 13 on every equipment i have not married juneau
Kaoru has a very optimised fleet, yes
I've beaten +13 equiped fleets before
i have aswell
It's called reset before you lose 
actually you're lexi right?
Deathkt and his stupid 1 minute PvP Yakuza 

only doing it for merit trying to limitbreak all the ships in the game
about to be done with iron blood
I'm gonna get EoS some day 
is eos hard on amagi 🤔
very
what's eos?
End of season
and that means?
it's where dreams go to die
Also is amagi and lilE the only servers with real and not dead PvP scenes
Being in top of scoreboard at end of season.
lil e ? Competitive???


lil e is a joke rn, eos is 2560 at best
but well it's growing slowly but surely so there's that, but top 5 is the same people every season
Isn't. Lil E. Pvp just churchofshimal
. . + new players
yup
The one good thing about lil e is that 5/6 meta units are easily obtainable, only one that is gacha locked is nj
What's current lilE meta then?
Hiryuu/Nj/Fdg Ancho/harbin/juneau
is essex viable on lil e
you can replace hiryuu for tamaki

doubt it but well might be doable, like I said barely anyone is doing pvp properly so you'd only struggle again very few fleets
Only difference is I have no gacha URs on lilE and I have yk2 on lex
LilE tempts me for easier PvP but pve might be easier with yk2
pve is still a joke, 14-4 has been cleared like 3 months ago on lil e, only thing missing is harbiter one fleet
You can ask Kaoru himself
Juneau has been meta since day 1 of the game’s release
The only period where she wasn’t meta was during triple torp cancer Noshiro Naganami Jintsuu
the person is in this disc?
He’s in Lexington’s main discord
His fleet is very optimized
You just got unlucky
there's a lexington discord?
Just throw it up to a “it is what it is” situation
where can i find it?
There’s a few people with strong fleets left on defense on Lexington
Just look out for Aldarn, Kaoru, Plasma
Sometimes Ari as well if he isn’t using test fleets as def
should a defense and attack fleet be different?
where can i find the link for discord? or u meant the channeL?
Kaoru is from PH so he’s asleep
But I can get his gear for you
Well, the most recent I could find is August 28th
i mean i can just join the discord just wondering how ot get the link
Backline gear is the typical one
He didn’t post but you likely already know what it is
The main concern here is that he’s running 3x rainbow AA
And uses Quad Mag to specifically time the smoke and shield to counter Shinano
but... what... about the disc? I'd like to join if there's a main lex discord
CN also has similar results
Which is why I’m doing testing on it as well
Ari didn’t like it as much since Vanguard is a bit paper
Which is consistent with my testings
But the winrate still remains reliable
need anything that can help in persuading them?
about the gun on shima i still don't know which is better the 76 mm aa or that one in the pic
and same with Ancho torps i have 550 mm twin
The 76 is faster but that blue gun has longer range
also instead of the wheel i am using damage control thingy
So supposedly, according to testings done by other people, the long range leads to more reliable AOA proc
is that worse than the eva wheel?
Since the 76 has shorter range and may delay in fire
Leading to AOA proc being slower than expected
Supposedly, according to testings done by third party

He runs Quad Torp specifically to stop Shinano
That’s why I noted it here
Against triple BB comps, Quad Mag wouldn’t be as effective
Which is why it isn’t used as often due to the popularity of Shinano declining
i mean what is more popular the 550 is working for me rn
i guess that is why i lost against them
So I’m testing this for the time being while waiting for Unzen and Jintsuu Meta to finish
CN and JP both said it was reliable so ig I had to test it again
Vanguard is a bit paper as expected but win rate seems good
Also the gear used here was done by the dude that achieved 90% wr against MSN
ofc winrate is good, any well-geared attack fleet will have that
juneau hasnt procced yet
yet????
pretty funny run
i won
noshiro dmg carried
I have decided my second server for PvP shall me lilE
It is because Noshiro’s torp damage reduction may have made Juneau more tanky
(I got unzen on it
)
In cases like these, replace Boiler with Gyro
juneau's perma 2gyro
Both gives speed but Juneau won’t get extra hp
It’s an MSN counter fleet is why. Vanguard + NJ + Juneau is ungodly amounts of AA Shinano is doing near nothing against that

What's it's consistency like
what's that
Consistency on torpmeme 
The torp choice on Ancho really counters MSN? On Amagi, the BBs are the bigger threat, at least for me. Skill issue
Can't counter Shinano if her Manjuu procs because of a single BB 
speed for BBs, ancho for CVs
Harbin for CVs 
Does attacking someone with the same number of points give you base point gain or a -
base point gain
Thank you

just wait. Someone else will move
is this ok for shina
I think that's the standard gear
then why does she do no damage 
Aquila felt way better, I'm wondering how msn is in t0
You need to +13 her planes before you make that conclusion
also why bow?
I really doubt +13ing her planes or giving her scepter will change that much, but ig I'll try
MSN is bad, use Triple BB with NJ, Musashi, Vanguard
it's the #1 fleet comp now according to legendary JP pvper, Quyet Nguyen
But whenever I use triple bb I get fcked by the concealment thingy
trust quyet
I'm running her with musashi and ayanami, that's enough to activate the buff right?
I did actually try triple BB
it's solid but I still don't like it over nj/sashi/aquila
Yes the buff includes herself. Needs 3 IJN ships


3 BB should be able to win vanguard fight against CVs almost every time, if you’re losing it’s probably gear.
with a condition that your vanguard must survive until they spot the opponent's CV
You are so right, we should like set up a shrine for quyet
Q is also for Quadrillion times the best
okkyeah she gud lol
ZAMN
she good?
bricking account by limit breaking jintm 
account is already bricked by leveling ancho red skill
yakuza 
Man
My Unzen’s skill levels aren’t maxed yet

And still like 10-12 ish days until max limit break Jintsuu Meta
Still faster than getting a DR to dev 30 
There’s also Jintsuu Meta Shimakaze Harbin as well
@fickle echo results on CN are up
MSN only has 68% wr on offense against triple torp
I can't play the video right now 
Well that's....certainly something to be concerned about

He said that no conclusive statement can be made and this was only tested on defense, not yet on offense
And that he will make a further analysis whenever he gets them all geared up
But if that's the results from preliminary testing then oh boy
So the conclusion is: there's no conclusion 
Someone in the comments asked if triple torp is good on offense or not and he said he will provide further
they went for hiryuu, I was thinking seyd
For now, from the testings he has done, fully geared MSN only has 68% wr
Also from the attacker's def fleet, it seems like he is also planning to test out Musashi NJ Vanguard, Jintsuu Meta Shimakaze Harbin
So the change seems to primarily came from Jintsuu Meta and not Unzen
Maybe Quyet is right and MSN is shit 
this is what I was cookin
Also the Musashi of MSN got 1 shotted
We still have 10 days left before people get them maxed
So ig for now just start leveling or preparing for equips beforehand
11 days for me because I forgot to grind 100 coordinates 
The switch to Musashi wasn't that quick either
So a few days to a week of delay is still fine
And besides, perhaps testings might show otherwise
Since EN meta still prefers triple BB, perhaps the torp comp might not be as effective
He didn't use Musashi in this vid
Which is quite something
A fleet that doesn't use Anchorage, Juneau or Musashi
maybe used NJ over Musashi for manjuu
In the description or comment I forgot, he said MSN even had a streak of 5 match loss

so unzen great?
Whether it is Unzen or Harbin, the result doesn't matter
Jintsuu Meta Shimakaze Unzen
or
Jintsuu Meta Shimakaze Harbin
I guess harbin is just there for a tad bit safer results
They might test further with Ayanami, Noshiro, Naganami, Jintsuu kai
Unzen and harbin is interchangable from my testing
unzen can dmg vanguard a bit better but harbin have cl pvp mods
When Mafia killed IJN for a few months
Now IJN has came back and returned the meta to what it was previously

akshually return to torp meme meta since jintsuu meta isnt ijn! 🤓

by technicality
Well yes
How does torp launch order work in pvp?
Torp meme meta was the peak of IJN suprememcy when that fleet has full 6 IJN ships
left right middle?
Italian UR soon 
Seems like it
Which is why Jintsuu Meta is placed at main tank
ah
So that her buffs could trigger for Shima and 3rd slot
the amount of torps getting shit out at the start is just too funny
is full torp full offense or one is at least carrying smth defensive or tears
Even if all of your frontline ships die before 20 seconds
You can guarantee 7 waves of torps
torp order is left mid right
3 from Jintsuu Meta, 2 from Shimakaze and Unzen/Harbin each
man I got to return to WA
Since Jintsuu Meta proc 2 waves of torps when she enters self invulnerability state
maybe someone could carry tears to make unzen last long enough to be able to fire off 2 more torps
create ships and gears to counter torpedo meta
wait for 2 years
proceed to bring it back

Tho perhaps this might even be a bigger gate for new players
it is
Since not everyone is gonna have 3 black aux torp ready and max enhanced
Considering black aux is only recently added in to war archive
Not to mention you might need some enhanced oxygen torpedo
I think yakuza is the go to backline for this
The only thing new players have going for them is that all 3 jintsuu shima and unzen are running at the same time soon
That's a lot of plate requirements
Instead of the backline investment being required, it is now placed on the frontline
but then the problem is that all 3 of them are running at the same time
that too
Those withotu black aux torps simply can't use this strategy at all
time to bully those who miss then 
Compared that to current meta where Pearl, Manjuu, Beaver, are all readily available
The rest you can pad out with Rudder and Boiler
and newer players aren't exactly pouring everything into pvp meta since they'd need to prioritize pve gear before everything
Yeah
Oxy torp and black aux torp is low on priority of things to enhance for a new players
and WA keys are limited to 60 
They would go for shells or HPFCR or CV aux instead
way to go devs you accidentally brought back the fucking meta you tried to kill 
this time its even worse
Don't worry
We will get a ship that buffs backline torp damage reduction
Maximum copium

Ig we already have VV but like
Perhaps Mafia could make a come back
Hiryuu augment will be released, when she is alive torpedo damage recieved by backline is reduced by 25%

Bf109 testings might resume you know
we use mafia backline instead with vv using 460mm and torp meme front
Since triple torp have slow af speed
Bf109 and Yorktown 2 Rocket Divebomber might make a come back on Aquila
Swordfish Aquila

Return to old meta
nah still wyvern
a sick combination of mafia torpedo meta
the fucking comp that was brought to kill torpedo meta is the one working with it now
Mafia legit was the comp brought to kill torp meme
Torp damage reduction VV, preload Aquila to kill paper torp frontline
Then VV quickload to follow up on Aquila
Torp shield on Duca
Not to mention Ancho and Juneau
Then have Manjuu and WNT

VV might be equipping 406 mk7 I assume?
Yeah, return to old meta
Tho Mafia back then was brought in to kill Noshiro Naganami Jintsuu
the meta starts now, as soon as we get jintsuu to mlb this is gonna be real shit
It might not be enough to tank Shimakaze anymore...
Like if you run triple torp with Harbin instead of Unzen
VV quickload and Aquila preload might not be as effective
oh fuck
Triple torp currently is different from triple torp back then
the only way to cut out torp meta is if they add more new torp damage reduction for backline or someone to be able to somehow cut out smokes
limitbreak 2 jintsuu meta is already close to max performance
Tho whatever it is
Meta is definitely shifting
And that's exciting

At worst, we have a tier 1 substitute fleet
eat torp
At best, we might have a new torp tier fleet
I'm also leaning towards JintM Shima Harbin
There's still loads of stuff we could test
We could test Ayanami now that she has new augment
I'd say Harbin vs Unzen depends on team comp
tho harbin smoke might not come fast enough to block preload rockets
If no one is threatening frontline. unzen can go in
The only preload they get is backline mode iirc
still prob gonna use unzen anyway cuz shiny 
That's sadge
Backline mode definitely did
lul ddg might be gud again
I almost thought I cooked cause I thought ddg backline could be affected by jintsuus skill
but then it specifically mentions vanguard
ddg vs triple torp could probably work if you think about it, though the issue now becomes when enemy uses yakuza backline
Soo... JinMe must stay 0lb or nah?
mlb
b-but blacktorp bug 
Have only 1 blackdildo anyway 
time to farm up 
good evening what the fuck
does this mean that i have to do fucking META
no wifi at home, no time to farm otherwise. just checking who's who on pvp list
doomed
changing gears is fine but then there's not much time on another place
Don't go saying that too loudly, Aoste will hear you


maybe i can stop pvp for a while and read romance manga
it's about to be 2 am (1h before 12h set ends)
any suggestions
gn
What's the best defense fleet I can do
you can go yakuza with musashi/aquila/nj ancho/shima/juneau
No Shinano or Vanguard
But that’s not a major concern
Your frontline selection is enough
Tho for future investments, perhaps try raising Jintsuu Meta
She is top pick for CV for the last 2 years
Shinano is still top tier but requires heavy investment in wyverns
so if you don't have the gold plates i wouldn't recommend
The only drawbacks is the costs of enhancing all of those Wyverns
Most people who played double CV Shinano Hiryuu back then already had the necessary investment
hiryuu/aquila are much more noob friendly
But newcomers should prioritize other fleets
How impactful/not is tenrai +13 on hiryuu?
To track the history of Shinano
- Nagato Shinano Amagi, Juneau Azuma Yukikaze (IJN standard)
- Nagato Shinano Hiryuu/Enterprise, Noshiro Naganami Jintsuu (IJN Torp meme)
- New Jersey Shinano Hiryuu, Anchorage Shimakaze Juneau (Weeb)
- Musashi New Jersey Shinano, Anchorage Shimakaze Juneau (MSN)
Shinano remained in the meta since 2020 as the only few top picks for CVs
The only period where she wasn’t meta was early days Mafia
Since most people didn’t have high enough investment to make Weeb fleets worthwhile since OPSI only came out a few months prior
Funny thing I always target fleets that use Shinano in PvP... guess it's just me
She is so slow that you can win before he strike 
That's the reason she's to damn slow
What am I running against her you mean
I mean if you don’t use her, how would you know a properly geared one is actually slow

I don't use her in PvP period
wyvern tenrai gaming
Then do you know if the opponent’s is properly geared or not
If you have zero experience of using her yourself
Guess the 98% of those I take on don't properly gear her then
98% of people are just running pve gear anw
2 wyvern, 1 Tenrai, flight beacon, gold catapult
I don't equip those
But it is the reason why you won
Because I don't use her in PvP
This is not directed towards you
But towards the people that haven’t figured out how to gear Shinano properly even after 3 years

Even if her gear hasn’t changed once ever since OPSI cane out
Aquila could likely sport the wyvern and Tenrai because of preload
Shinano can’t use both
But Shinano can't
And in pvp, Wyvern is always priority
PvE would prefer Ryusei
And will remain the priority until the devs give us a divebomber that can intercept

Anyways ideally you want speed build
You don’t need that much speed
Fixing this is fairly simple
Ditch the Tenrai, run Suisei 12A
Ditch Beacon, run Oil
To increase crash damage
You can even ditch Catapult
Make sure every plane is +13 even if it costs a fortune
Interesting maybe I'll try running her with those gear
And simple as that, it is the same build used by Shinanos even back before Italian Meta
But people still doesn’t use either

I just don't run Shinano except in PvE, I'll try that out
You don’t need to
Just that it requires a lot of investment to run her properly
That’s why she’s unpopular in pvp
Plates are spent for pve gear mostly
No one has the time to enhance 2 Wyverns to +13
720 plane plates. Ouch that investment
It will take me time to get the gear to that level
To think some of us actually had 3 +13 Wyverns in early 2022
A lot
I only have 1 +12 and 1 +11
2 Wyverns for Shinano
1 Wyvern 1 Tenrai for Hiryuu
During the Weeb fleet era
Loads of plates went into that
the thing is most people play this game for pve, pvp is a very small niche of the game, asking people to spend plates on wyverns over tenrais or converging torpedoes is a big ask, so no wonder very few people run properly geared shinano's in pvp
the only people who have enough plates for it are either pvp gamers or ultra late game pve players
that's 1680 gold plane plates
The only pve gear you would use from this is the Tenrai and maybe the Suisei 12A
Everything else isn’t use in Pve at all
And I haven’t used my Hiryuu in ages
Luckily the Hiryuu gear set is standard for pvp, so it can switched to Aquila or Chise if necessary
But the Shinano gear set is hella specific
if you wanna farm for shinano set you're probably looking at like 4-5 months worth of plates
also one of the reason why milf is much preferred over msn, the gear is very easily accessible
Milf > hymen?
There is indeed such a big gap between pvp gear and pve gear for CVs
Which can’t exactly be said for BBs
457s are still good even in pve
HPFCR is also meta
Staag is definite yes
And you don’t even have to enhance the aux gun

Both new ur guns better
Tbh
It doesn’t really matter
I doubt you would notice that much of a change

It is the same with gun and torp choice on Juneau
Yes stuff may be marginally better but most of the time you might not notice the difference
Which then comes down to whether you would want to spend such a limited item on her or not
Is that Snadi server?
Literally in his profile
ye 

How's Unzen in PvP?
Quyet video has her
You lost me at Quyet
Oof, gonna wait then.
One is better than nothing but if that one is quyet that is still nothing
From the stuff I have gather, it seems like Jintsuu Meta is still the more stable pick
Unzen is still a good pick but her slot is contested by Harbin
And outside of torp fleet only, it is even harder to justify Unzen
oh goodbye then
jintsuu meta counters MSN totally
the real question is why does CN use MSN without WNT flag

why does JP use 3 BB with WNT on flag as well
Are you really asking about JP meta when they're the most unserious when it comes to meta

Honestly I don’t think many try on PvP or else I’d not be winning 99.9% of my matches with a busted meta team

I used to lose to a guy name Donald trump and avoided the mf but now I easily surpass the dude
Some known dude on avrora. some people made Reddit posts about most funny names they’ve seen their fleets called
First time I never wanted to fight someone again after I got dono walled
yet their guys have higher scores than EN does now
there ia something in their water
EN would have higher scores if everyone had the same timezone, the 1st reset was made 12h long so people could go to sleep when it starts and still wake up to do their exercises later
But instead there's a lot of people who go to sleep during the end of the 1st or 2nd reset so what you get is a lot of opponents who aren't gonna move to give your bonuses 
envy actually proved using a shitton of statistics that servers with stronger def fleets and players that move later have lower overall scores, with Avrora being one of the few exceptions
EN is literally too competitive for its own good
meanwhile TW players:
Finishes 3h into eos reset
2608
true...
Early Avrora saw 2600s. Was that due to most players in the NA area at the time?
just curious
actually I think it was due to fleets being worse and people not knowing how bagging works
EN has always had a mixed audience
lots of early SEA players, NA players, EU players, etc on the same servers
cuz tw chads actually do pvp
so much gensui food that +5 each set is average
is it really ok to go for Harbin variant?
if you dont get 3 IJN bonus for Shinano?
was using Noshiro for now
it's because Ayanami is squishy
she triggers shinano buff but she will disappear after first torp launch lol
and for Noshiro?
no double torp launch
also slower than aya
but realistically they're all much closer in power than shima
shima is just a whole level above everyone else
Tbh MSN might not be meta anymore in 10 days
yeah rerun we are supposed to get
So start preparing for other ships
wdym

tbf that test is against an MSN without WNT flag
yakuza ftw 
That is true
But the enemy def fleet didn’t have Musashi either
imo MSN without WNT flag is objectively worse than Juneau yakuza

just because Shinano just sits there and gets popped by Shima before she can launch about 1/3 of the time
MSN was already on the decline in popularity
Due to the investment requirements for it
It is still top pick currently and I do use it
went for 3 wyverns for meeb >_>
it's the safest fleet to climb if you have the funds
pretty much never have to reset
this shit killed me for months
You can have the correct planes but still deal low damage without enhancements
feeling like I get better no reset win ratio with MSN fleet
like if you've played card games, it's essentially just a control deck lol
high winrate, but you have to survive past turn 4
MSN is still reliable for the most part

But the rise of triple torp is inevitable at this point
the question is whether MSN itself will also evolve
Chances are it will
one could in theory drop shima for unzen
Just run triple torp with MSN backline
No longer need to stall for Shinano or rng lose frontline fight if the enemy is dead

if the enemy runs the same setup you still lose due to slowness
Triple torp was used with Shinano before
The infamous 6 IJN ship fleet of 2020
Nagato Shinano Hiryuu Noshiro Naganami Jintsuu
that's because there was pretty much nothing better for backline
I still think MSN would stay
Since Shinano’s concealment would make her less vulnerable to triple torp
If anything, triple BB might be hit more often
triple BB gets kear though
ahh by 10 days u meant DL30 kear?
No
no, max LB jintsuu meta
Jintsuu Meta opens up more substitute options for Shima
Since Anchorage Jintsuu Meta Harbin/Unzen cans still fit into Yakuza or triple BB comps
While Jintsuu Meta can also open the possibility of triple torp
So Jintsuu Meta seems quite important
I just want second shinano to not deal with weapon swaps, for now im running standard double wyvern even for pve
I suspect most players will just run triple torp because aggro builds in every game trigger that fat dopamine response
haha torp go BOOM
I think Triple torp might be a similar Weeb situation
the dark ages is upon us 
People aren’t going to have those aux max enhanced
Due to high af plate requirements
At the minimum
You are looking at 3 black aux torp at +13
And if you aren’t a veteran or missed Aurora Noctis, you don’t even have 3 black aux torps to enhance
And good luck farming War Archive

Not to mention the 2 oxygen torpedo at +13
Yikes plates
now the most interesting thing I suspect
is that MSN may in fact get buffed with the right setup
right now a lot of the time with WNT flag, Juneau has to go double gyro or gyro + boiler because otherwise she dies too late
with triple torp cancer everywhere, we can potentially run full tank build Juneau
wirbel luft + bulge

tank juneau
sayin that people will swap to triple torp right after it becomes a thing
bro most people still run yakuza and mafia
because they're fast
Even a month or 2 after Musashi’s release
and flashy
y there was yakuza everywhere
but don't have god winrates
People still don’t believe Musashi was strong
amagi has a shit ton of yakuza fleets
torpmemes is flashy af
If you were here in those days, you would realize how much copium there were
people will switch
Until Mafia fleets gets walled by MSN
like honestly, how many ppl give a fuck about pvp
Then they realize how busted Musashi was
around 70% of non-meme def washy fleets are some kind of yakuza lol
lots of them using Juneau version
kinda wild
Then sometimes, a switch happens even if that ship isn’t all that top
the toxic ones are not yakuza 
wasnt it Meeb first?

washy so toxic bro
and then Meeb getting walled by MSN?
Like why did people switch to Bismarck Zwei so quickyl
there's like 3 bisko fleets in total in top 100
2 of them are people I know who are meming their faces off
It was between Shinano and Hiryuu in the last slots
bisko fleets are fun, easy fleets to beat 
I remember vividly that day
bisko is viable I swear
The devs release the quick skill enhance thing

So Musashi can get her skills to level 10 in a few days
Fully geared and oathed MSN was already used 3 days after Musashi’s release
wait
I was the first few to actually say use Blue Gun Musashi
I meant Musashi, Hiryuu, Shinano fleet
yeah the debate between purple gun and blue gun was huge
I still have it here
The vid is here
21st of September
MSN was already used
People simply refused to believe Musashi was good for months

lightning strikes with crits are not strong
-some people
welp I always see her as an opportunity to get out of my reset mania era

And yeah Plasma was already testing Yakuza on the same day
Just goes to show that the meta still hasn't changed in a year

Mbruh
when running triple torp, do i expect resets?
