Since I used triple torp back then

#

I already had some equipment and enhancement prepared

#

So if the switch does happen, at least ik I would transition over quickly

neon bronze
whole salmon
#

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

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...

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

neon bronze
honest moon
#

In short: glass cannon comp

whole salmon
#

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

neon bronze
#

not even other triple torp?

whole salmon
#

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

steel coral
#

@flint python I'll just leave this here

honest moon
#

Triple quickshot plane triple torps MutsukiHyperStare

whole salmon
#

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

coral wren
#

why bong torps? because they go to the center because of the torp aux?

steel coral
whole salmon
steel coral
#

but yeah meant jintsuu meta

whole salmon
#

Noshiro works as well

#

In that comp

#

But since Jintsuu meta is newer, I'm more incline to test her out instead

whole salmon
flint python
#

man I miss the old water visual even more after watching those vids

#

hows unzen looking as a potential shima substitute

hidden robin
#

try and see which one has better odd of survival

gritty quiver
#

i dont have shima and nobody has an unzen ready how am i supposed to test it

hidden robin
#

well i intend to give Unzen 1 washing machine + 1 rainbow torp

#

i'll see if she's better than my double-torp Shimakaze

gritty quiver
#

its not going to be fair if you dont skill unzen

flint python
#

all out or nothing

brazen socket
#

Why washing machine just slap black torp

#

Unzen lives a bit better than shimakaze anyways

valid oxide
#

Oh and shima

#

I'm truly so disadvantaged TwT

whole salmon
#

If you commit to triple torp

#

Don't half ass it

#

There's no such thing as survivability when running triple torp

whole salmon
#

Unzen doesn't compete for that slot

valid oxide
#

What if you don't have shima

#

Does she compete then

#

Wait I'm dumb

#

Nvm

whole salmon
#

If you don't have Shima then her re run is like in a few weeks' time

valid oxide
#

Who is a better sandwich torp between harb and jintM

fickle echo
#

"If you don't have a Shima just build one"

hidden robin
#

what if they fail Shima gacha again

whole salmon
#

On the last slot

valid oxide
#

I'm gonna fail shima gacha because unzen is being a bitch

whole salmon
#

So many questions about substitutes when the based answer is just "get them all"

#

JIntsuu Meta needs to fire torp first

valid oxide
whole salmon
#

So a Jintsuu Meta and Unzen as copium substitute still works

valid oxide
#

I still need to pray for gacha rng KievPray

whole salmon
#

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

fickle echo
#

No one has Jintsuu or Unzen maxed yet so any discussion right now are about what works in theory

whole salmon
#

We have copium substitute for Yakuza and triple BB

#

That's called Mafia

fickle echo
#

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 DunktsukiStare

hidden robin
#

lol is that a copium way to evaluate non maxed ships??

whole salmon
#

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

fickle echo
#

Unless CN complains about her and she gets nerfed just like DDGs were

whole salmon
#

DDGs' survivability in pvp I think

fickle echo
whole salmon
#

Devs forgot that light armor + stupidly high evasion

#

Would lead to mbruh stuff

whole salmon
#

So yeah

valid oxide
#

Oh god

whole salmon
#

Light armor, damage reduction, evasion rate, high evasion stat

fickle echo
#

Now they even get their damage dealt reduced Ehhssex

whole salmon
#

Did they have concealment as well?

#

I forgot

fickle echo
#

Yes

whole salmon
#

Yeah

#

DDGs were just mbruh

hidden robin
#

pfft

whole salmon
#

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

hidden robin
#

with all of those buff + concealment....

whole salmon
#

Crash damage ignores evasion

valid oxide
#

Crash is consistent it seems

fickle echo
#

I don't care much about the high evasion but before the nerf they could nuke vanguards at the start

whole salmon
#

But yeah the BBs were mbruh against them

whole salmon
#

Yeah Missiles and their consistent targetting

fickle echo
#

I remember one shooting Duca from full hp

whole salmon
#

Basically at the time

fickle echo
whole salmon
#

DDGs were preload BBs with high af anti light consistent damage

#

with CV concealment mechanic

#

high af evasion and DD level pvp buffs

valid oxide
#

They would've had super high hit stat too right?

whole salmon
#

yeah high hit too

#

they had DD hit stats

hidden robin
#

based Hit of 206

#

very bruh

#

then An Shan's skills multiply that by 1.25x Ehhssex

fickle echo
#

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...

main torp options rn are:
Teatorps (gear lab) + Black Torp (Aurora Noctis WA D1)
USS Magtorps (gear lab) + oxytorp (core data shop)

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.

#

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

#

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

No lol. Too little damage from Warkai

seydlitz is goated

hollow walrus

Seyd should have an IB partner to proc buff and preload tho right

neon bronze
#

you can use her without another bratwurst but then seyd will be a bit weaker

hollow walrus

at that point wouldn't using Warkai be better then if she doesn't have IB to proc?

coral wren

damn i shouldnt retro warsprite no bunnies now 💀

or be chad and use Amagi or SoDak BuckyPride

Or try the PoW meme instead

thorny bridge
#

why isn't plymouth used over harbin in the top fleet? for players without shimakaze

ocean quest
#

harbin smoke

stable dawn
#

ply also has no preload

thorny bridge
#

how about why she uses goldburn?

brazen socket
#

goldburn gives an additional 35 rld for any vanguard ship used by it

#

plus 550 hp

whole salmon
#

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

whole salmon
#

Or some that were formerly usable and stopped being good anymore like Azuma

#

Even the effectiveness of Bismarck Zwei is questioned in pvp

thorny bridge
delicate mango
#

Or use Mafia fleet that is still pvp relevant

devout hearth
#

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?

stable dawn
#

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

devout hearth
#

Can you combine the black torps and oxy torps for a pure damage build?

stable dawn
#

yes but it's not recommended for obvious reasons

#

🪦

Just throw it up to a “it is what it is” situation

gusty cipher
#

where can i find it?

whole salmon
#

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

gusty cipher
#

should a defense and attack fleet be different?

whole salmon
#

Depends on you

#

Tbh it doesn’t really matter that much

gusty cipher
whole salmon
#

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

gusty cipher
#

i mean i can just join the discord just wondering how ot get the link

whole salmon
#

Backline gear is the typical one

#

He didn’t post but you likely already know what it is

whole salmon
# whole salmon

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

gusty cipher
#

but... what... about the disc? I'd like to join if there's a main lex discord

whole salmon
#

So the more you know

#

I need to ask permission from others

whole salmon
#

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

gusty cipher
#

need anything that can help in persuading them?

gusty cipher
# whole salmon

about the gun on shima i still don't know which is better the 76 mm aa or that one in the pic

whole salmon
#

It depends on who you ask

#

Realistically the difference is minimal

gusty cipher
#

and same with Ancho torps i have 550 mm twin

whole salmon
#

The 76 is faster but that blue gun has longer range

gusty cipher
#

also instead of the wheel i am using damage control thingy

whole salmon
#

So supposedly, according to testings done by other people, the long range leads to more reliable AOA proc

gusty cipher
#

is that worse than the eva wheel?

whole salmon
#

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

whole salmon
whole salmon
#

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

gusty cipher
#

i mean what is more popular the 550 is working for me rn

whole salmon
#

Kaoru uses Quad specifically to target MSN

#

And it seems effective

#

Also check DMs

gusty cipher
#

i guess that is why i lost against them

whole salmon
#

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

stable dawn
#

ofc winrate is good, any well-geared attack fleet will have that

#

MSN only has 68% wr on offense against triple torp

fickle echo
#

I can't play the video right now TorricelliSad

whole salmon
#

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

fickle echo
#

So the conclusion is: there's no conclusion Ehhssex

whole salmon
#

Someone in the comments asked if triple torp is good on offense or not and he said he will provide further

steel coral
#

they went for hiryuu, I was thinking seyd

whole salmon
#

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

fickle echo
#

Maybe Quyet is right and MSN is shit DunktsukiStare

whole salmon
#

Perhaps he is right

steel coral
#

this is what I was cookin

whole salmon
#

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

fickle echo
#

11 days for me because I forgot to grind 100 coordinates TorricelliSad

whole salmon
#

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

whole salmon
#

Which is quite something

#

A fleet that doesn't use Anchorage, Juneau or Musashi

steel coral

maybe used NJ over Musashi for manjuu

whole salmon
#

Whether it is Unzen or Harbin, the result doesn't matter

#

Jintsuu Meta Shimakaze Unzen

#

or

#

Jintsuu Meta Shimakaze Harbin

brazen socket
#

I guess harbin is just there for a tad bit safer results

whole salmon
#

They might test further with Ayanami, Noshiro, Naganami, Jintsuu kai

flint python
#

Unzen and harbin is interchangable from my testing

whole salmon
#

Return to IJN meta

flint python
#

unzen can dmg vanguard a bit better but harbin have cl pvp mods

whole salmon
#

When Mafia killed IJN for a few months

#

Now IJN has came back and returned the meta to what it was previously

brazen socket
whole salmon
brazen socket
#

by technicality

whole salmon
#

Well yes

brazen socket
#

How does torp launch order work in pvp?

whole salmon
#

Torp meme meta was the peak of IJN suprememcy when that fleet has full 6 IJN ships

brazen socket
#

left right middle?

fickle echo
whole salmon
#

Which is why Jintsuu Meta is placed at main tank

brazen socket
#

ah

whole salmon
#

So that her buffs could trigger for Shima and 3rd slot

flint python
#

the amount of torps getting shit out at the start is just too funny

brazen socket
#

is full torp full offense or one is at least carrying smth defensive or tears

whole salmon
#

Even if all of your frontline ships die before 20 seconds

#

You can guarantee 7 waves of torps

flint python
#

torp order is left mid right

whole salmon
#

3 from Jintsuu Meta, 2 from Shimakaze and Unzen/Harbin each

brazen socket
#

man I got to return to WA

whole salmon
#

Since Jintsuu Meta proc 2 waves of torps when she enters self invulnerability state

brazen socket
#

maybe someone could carry tears to make unzen last long enough to be able to fire off 2 more torps

whole salmon
#

I already had a gut feeling

#

To think it would happen

brazen socket
#

create ships and gears to counter torpedo meta
wait for 2 years
proceed to bring it back

whole salmon
#

Tho perhaps this might even be a bigger gate for new players

brazen socket
#

it is

whole salmon
#

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

flint python
#

I think yakuza is the go to backline for this

brazen socket
#

The only thing new players have going for them is that all 3 jintsuu shima and unzen are running at the same time soon

whole salmon
#

That's a lot of plate requirements

#

Instead of the backline investment being required, it is now placed on the frontline

brazen socket
#

but then the problem is that all 3 of them are running at the same time

whole salmon
#

It still requires proper enhancements

#

Which is a issue for newer players

brazen socket
#

that too

whole salmon
#

Those withotu black aux torps simply can't use this strategy at all

flint python
#

time to bully those who miss then EssexWheeze

whole salmon
#

Compared that to current meta where Pearl, Manjuu, Beaver, are all readily available

#

The rest you can pad out with Rudder and Boiler

brazen socket
#

and newer players aren't exactly pouring everything into pvp meta since they'd need to prioritize pve gear before everything

whole salmon
#

Yeah

#

Oxy torp and black aux torp is low on priority of things to enhance for a new players

brazen socket
#

and WA keys are limited to 60 stares

whole salmon
#

They would go for shells or HPFCR or CV aux instead

brazen socket
#

way to go devs you accidentally brought back the fucking meta you tried to kill Kek

#

this time its even worse

whole salmon
#

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

brazen socket
#

Hiryuu augment will be released, when she is alive torpedo damage recieved by backline is reduced by 25%

whole salmon
#

Bf109 testings might resume you know

flint python
#

we use mafia backline instead with vv using 460mm and torp meme front

whole salmon
#

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

flint python
#

nah still wyvern

brazen socket
#

a sick combination of mafia torpedo meta

#

the fucking comp that was brought to kill torpedo meta is the one working with it now

whole salmon
#

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

brazen socket
#

VV might be equipping 406 mk7 I assume?

whole salmon
#

Yeah, return to old meta

#

Tho Mafia back then was brought in to kill Noshiro Naganami Jintsuu

brazen socket
#

the meta starts now, as soon as we get jintsuu to mlb this is gonna be real shit

whole salmon
#

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

brazen socket
#

oh fuck

whole salmon
#

Triple torp currently is different from triple torp back then

brazen socket
#

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

flint python
#

limitbreak 2 jintsuu meta is already close to max performance

whole salmon
#

Tho whatever it is

#

Meta is definitely shifting

#

And that's exciting

#

At worst, we have a tier 1 substitute fleet

brazen socket
#

eat torp

whole salmon
#

At best, we might have a new torp tier fleet

flint python
#

I'm also leaning towards JintM Shima Harbin

whole salmon
#

There's still loads of stuff we could test

#

We could test Ayanami now that she has new augment

brazen socket
#

I'd say Harbin vs Unzen depends on team comp

flint python
#

tho harbin smoke might not come fast enough to block preload rockets

whole salmon
#

We could even test Noshiro, Naganami, Jintsuu again

#

Or even Ibuki

brazen socket
#

If no one is threatening frontline. unzen can go in

whole salmon
#

Also

#

Do DDGs have preload?

brazen socket
#

The only preload they get is backline mode iirc

flint python
#

still prob gonna use unzen anyway cuz shiny BuckyPrideZoom

whole salmon
#

That's sadge

brazen socket
#

still asking if for vanguard mode too

#

welp just asked only backline mode

whole salmon
#

Backline mode definitely did

flint python
#

lul ddg might be gud again

brazen socket
#

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

What's the best defense fleet I can do

wanton cove
#

Wow you have Meta fleet out right

#

You even have a good selection for stalling fleet

spiral owl
whole salmon
#

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

wanton cove
#

Shinano isn't idea for PvP last I saw

#

She's pretty slow

whole salmon
#

She is top pick for CV for the last 2 years

spiral owl
#

Shinano is still top tier but requires heavy investment in wyverns

#

so if you don't have the gold plates i wouldn't recommend

whole salmon
#

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

spiral owl
#

hiryuu/aquila are much more noob friendly

whole salmon
#

But newcomers should prioritize other fleets

valid oxide
#

How impactful/not is tenrai +13 on hiryuu?

whole salmon
# whole salmon She is top pick for CV for the last 2 years

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

stable dawn
#

Shinano is bad, use triple BB with HMS Vanguard

wanton cove
#

Funny thing I always target fleets that use Shinano in PvP... guess it's just me

serene epoch
#

She is so slow that you can win before he strike PortDoll

wanton cove
#

That's the reason she's to damn slow

whole salmon
#

What are you running her with? Tenrai?

wanton cove
#

What am I running against her you mean

whole salmon
#

I mean if you don’t use her, how would you know a properly geared one is actually slow

wanton cove
#

I don't use her in PvP period

spiral owl
#

wyvern tenrai gaming

whole salmon
#

Then do you know if the opponent’s is properly geared or not

#

If you have zero experience of using her yourself

wanton cove
#

Guess the 98% of those I take on don't properly gear her then

spiral owl
#

98% of people are just running pve gear anw

wanton cove
#

2 wyvern, 1 Tenrai, flight beacon, gold catapult

whole salmon
#

And that’s the issue

#

Such cringe gear is the reason

wanton cove
#

I don't equip those

whole salmon
#

But it is the reason why you won

wanton cove
#

Because I don't use her in PvP

whole salmon
#

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

wanton cove
#

Aquila could likely sport the wyvern and Tenrai because of preload

whole salmon
#

Shinano can’t use both

wanton cove
#

But Shinano can't

whole salmon
#

And in pvp, Wyvern is always priority

wanton cove
#

PvE would prefer Ryusei

whole salmon
#

And will remain the priority until the devs give us a divebomber that can intercept

wanton cove
#

Anyways ideally you want speed build

whole salmon
#

You don’t need that much speed

whole salmon
#

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

wanton cove
#

Interesting maybe I'll try running her with those gear

whole salmon
#

And simple as that, it is the same build used by Shinanos even back before Italian Meta

#

But people still doesn’t use either

wanton cove
#

I just don't run Shinano except in PvE, I'll try that out

whole salmon
#

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

hollow walrus
#

720 plane plates. Ouch that investment

wanton cove
#

It will take me time to get the gear to that level

whole salmon
#

To think some of us actually had 3 +13 Wyverns in early 2022

hollow walrus
#

das a lot of gold plates

#

1080 plates

#

how long did it take?

whole salmon
#

A lot

wanton cove
#

I only have 1 +12 and 1 +11

whole salmon
#

2 Wyverns for Shinano

#

1 Wyvern 1 Tenrai for Hiryuu

#

During the Weeb fleet era

#

Loads of plates went into that

spiral owl
#

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

whole salmon
#

It is indeed quite a big ask

#

Like take these 2 screenshots

hollow walrus
#

that's 1680 gold plane plates

whole salmon
#

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

spiral owl
#

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

valid oxide
#

Milf > hymen?

whole salmon
#

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

coral wren
#

is this gun better than the drake gun for pvp?

serene epoch
#

Both new ur guns better

whole salmon
#

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

brazen socket
whole salmon
#

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

neon bronze
stable dawn
#

jintsuu meta counters MSN totally

#

the real question is why does CN use MSN without WNT flag

neon bronze

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

JP has like 30 servers and all are casual except like 2 iirc

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 Ehhssex

Early Avrora saw 2600s. Was that due to most players in the NA area at the time?

just curious

stable dawn
#

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

so the secret was not overcapping all along

unreal leaf

is it really ok to go for Harbin variant?

if you dont get 3 IJN bonus for Shinano?

#

was using Noshiro for now

winged depot
#

it gets squishy if you don't use a 3rd ijn

#

can use yukikaze I guess

unreal leaf
#

yeah, doint know why its higher than other 3rd ijn ship

#

the Harbin thing I mean

stable dawn
#

it's because Ayanami is squishy

#

she triggers shinano buff but she will disappear after first torp launch lol

unreal leaf
#

and for Noshiro?

stable dawn
#

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

tbf that test is against an MSN without WNT flag

yakuza ftw OkayChamping

#

But the enemy def fleet didn’t have Musashi either

stable dawn
#

imo MSN without WNT flag is objectively worse than Juneau yakuza

whole salmon
stable dawn

just because Shinano just sits there and gets popped by Shima before she can launch about 1/3 of the time

unreal leaf

oh

#

time to change my Shina item then

¯_(ツ)_/¯

whole salmon

MSN was already on the decline in popularity

#

Due to the investment requirements for it

just like old meeb

whole salmon
#

It is still top pick currently and I do use it

unreal leaf
whole salmon
#

But it is kinda hard to justify its place

#

No

stable dawn
#

it's the safest fleet to climb if you have the funds

whole salmon
#

Not the planes

#

The enhancements

stable dawn
#

pretty much never have to reset

unreal leaf
#

this shit killed me for months

whole salmon
#

You can have the correct planes but still deal low damage without enhancements

stable dawn
#

downside is you are slowge

#

avg of 40-50s per exercise at best

unreal leaf
stable dawn
#

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

whole salmon
#

MSN is still reliable for the most part

stable dawn
whole salmon
#

But the rise of triple torp is inevitable at this point

stable dawn
#

the question is whether MSN itself will also evolve

whole salmon
#

Chances are it will

stable dawn
#

one could in theory drop shima for unzen

whole salmon
#

Just run triple torp with MSN backline

#

No longer need to stall for Shinano or rng lose frontline fight if the enemy is dead

stable dawn
#

if the enemy runs the same setup you still lose due to slowness

whole salmon
#

Triple torp was used with Shinano before

#

The infamous 6 IJN ship fleet of 2020

#

Nagato Shinano Hiryuu Noshiro Naganami Jintsuu

stable dawn
#

that's because there was pretty much nothing better for backline

whole salmon
#

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

stable dawn
#

triple BB gets kear though

whole salmon
#

Kear can spot it seems

#

According to Ari’s testings against Plasma

stable dawn
#

not if she dies before she launches

whole salmon
#

More of a reason to run triple torp

unreal leaf
#

ahh by 10 days u meant DL30 kear?

whole salmon
#

No

stable dawn
#

no, max LB jintsuu meta

whole salmon
#

Jintsuu Meta opens up more substitute options for Shima

stable dawn
#

Jintsuu Meta and Unsen

#

lots of good new options now

whole salmon
#

Since Anchorage Jintsuu Meta Harbin/Unzen cans still fit into Yakuza or triple BB comps

stable dawn
#

vg meta was mega stale before

#

ancho shima + juneau/harbin

#

and that was it

whole salmon
#

While Jintsuu Meta can also open the possibility of triple torp

#

So Jintsuu Meta seems quite important

unreal leaf
#

I just want second shinano to not deal with weapon swaps, for now im running standard double wyvern even for pve

stable dawn
#

I suspect most players will just run triple torp because aggro builds in every game trigger that fat dopamine response
haha torp go BOOM

whole salmon
#

I think Triple torp might be a similar Weeb situation

winged depot
#

the dark ages is upon us palpanod

whole salmon
#

People aren’t going to have those aux max enhanced

#

Due to high af plate requirements

stable dawn
#

Just use 6x rainbow torp aux

whole salmon
#

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

stable dawn
#

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
