Tryna avoiding those unnecessary solo match
And double snipers means more poking at backline
I think 50% is too much. I'd say closer to 30%. If you HP drops below 1/3 then you would've died without the advantage.
1/3 prolly for big walls
maybe
Where it starts curving on the circle.
But it's a bit misleading because if your health dropped below that point before Juneau healed went off then they would've already been dead
If your opponent had a 20% attack bonus too
My hood is a degenerate that can't match up to my enty
But I don't feel it's a fair match because her gear is utter trash compared
hood should have plenty of damage unless you lucky e on top of radar
then it's basically impossible to match that spike
xD
my hoods gear is just really bad
there is a difference in love shown
washi generally does a bit better
oh, yeah, no +10 gun hurts
lol autoloaders in pvp
without accuracy boosting stuff, Hood's accuracy is really bad. Especially if the opponent is using double sg radar
actually hard mode 6-1 is soon
purple plates, t3 destroyer blueprints, and gold radar
glorious
washi is hogging all my good shit
Hood with Gold FCR + Purple Autoloader syncs with Warspite to delete a single backline (usually Enty/Fox) before they can do anything.
Not the best? Maybe. But it does work and I’m keeping it until it doesn’t work anymore.


So they land on the poor backline exactly at the same time
Oathed Enty gone
And about the Double SG Radar thing
If they put SG Radar on Enty, I’d point and laugh
xD
usually if i see hms defense
i just put E middle
and then move sodak to take the gun focus
Or just across warspite
yeah either or
it's kinda sad how warspite has such high fp, but doesnt really do DPS against her main fleet opponent
xD

You guys still move backline fleets eh 
of course lol
i swap vanguard based on main fleet and move wash/e around based on their positioning
xD
Imo moving the backline is one of the best PvP tactics there is
What kind of Admiral/Commander doesn’t care about fleet positioning?

Doesn’t make sense, even irl.
I don't like having to change my lineup per fight personally. I could. But I don't like it
The fewer buttons I have to press the better
i mean, that's fair
it just hurts your odds is all
like if you do standard wash/e, top enterprise usually gets shot by bottom warspite if you see hms
With hms absolutely, but I play sodak/wash/hood
I play sodak wash hood specifically because there's no question of positioning
xD
also because enterprise duels give me the shits
i havent had an enterprise duel in a long time
mostly because im running helena, or they're running helena
me neither, cause I don't run enterprise anymore ahahah
so no one makes it that far
otherwise wash can easily shoot enterprise down by the second air strike with helena boost
even with no owari da
so ill just sacrifice my enterprise
for theirs
xD
said it before but eldridge frontline feels basically mandatory in this meta
i just swap her, if it's akaga use belfast
if it's e, use eldridge
if it's triple battleship, i use ayanami for easy backline picks
helena boosted demon dance will instantly cripple any backliner
at the 20
not even counting lucky e damage
or wash barrage
xD
so then i effectively trade one destroyer's worth of hit points
for a main fleet kill
always worth
I'm excited to see aya potential with magtorps coming
yeah, then she'll have even more backline pressure
at that point we'll be sinking wash before vanguard dies
xD
Got my 40 ironblood gold boxes waiting patiently
cause rainbow dodges all cvs that arent akaga lol
I was specifically going to see if frontloaded torpedo damage can pull wins for akaga even against wasd builds
honestly it's kinda a meta problem that rainbow does that xD
it should
but if they run 410 purple it might not
because they'll run a few shots before aya can demon dance
aya with oxy torp cant survive 2 BB gun shots
so you'll need a little luck
but if you make it to the 20, you'll probably delete washington
Can't wait to see everything go to shit after I open 50 gold and 2 rainbow kms boxes
At least hms has decent enough torp stat to put up a fight before I drop them for akaga just to wipe front faster
Which might end up not mattering but I will wait and see
xD
I was recommended to join here for help for my pvp lineup.
not sure if that's for better or worse
@fair valley yea post it and we'll help
what do you want? to make the best possible PVP fleet?
something to just help me along with getting more merits. best possible ATM would be nice too.
sure
I was suggested to put Wash, E, and Hood in the back (and get south ASAP)
and put helena and juneau in
and get eldridge asap
Eldridge is probably more important. Also levels. No matter what you use, you take something like 2% more and deal 2% less damage per level difference
my best recommendation at the moment is to use hood, enterprise and washington
particualrly because you really have no other options...
Don't know the exact values
ideally i would use akagi, kaga, or south dakota but you're missing that
akahi, kaga, or sd instead of who
and as for vanguard, i'd recommend helena, cleveland from what i see in the picture
Make your vanguard stronger first
if you can, try to find juneau or fortune, they're good options
I can scroll down more lol, but I don't want to spam with pics
I have both juneau, and fortune
Thoughts on this setup? My main concern rn is vanguard since juneau and eldridge are not ready
akagi kaga hood and washy sd enty are good choices
Akashi yea
and i don't have enough equipment to replace enty with hood either
yeah mb
enterprise is fine
wasd + ent is still the best PVP team in my tierlist so far
i'm not convinced yet hood has overtaken ent
I'm making a picture with all the boats lol. give me a minute
i think u need the extra vanguard dmg of enty over dmg to main from hood
Seeing hms vanguard wirh uss is strange
@quiet adder your backline looks fine, vanguard i'd say is good but seems vulnerable to BBs
try to add some speed with boilers or add in an eldridge
edinburgh is OK
big HP pool so very tanky
hood doesnt have enough spike
ofc better in HMS
is all
Vanguard ATM
fortune would't be bad instead of edinburgh
sometimes a spike in damage helps you push past a stall
I'll show my list of vanguard atm
especially since multiplying the attacker advantage gives you a big edge
when lucky e procs
instead of just 2x, it's 2.4
@fair valley yea raise fortune and juneau
can't go wrong with juneau because she's forever relevant
and fortune... well she's outclassed later but still viable in HMS fleets
and top tier atm,
something something yukikaze
just realized how little main fleet I have lol
i find fortune really good against bb since her dmg reduction skill and high speed. and since everything is wasd now she's useful
uhhhhhhh
xD
yea some people really like fortune
i personally had terrible results with her
up to you 
You'd recommend getting eldrige over SD ans swap fortune for her?
with eldrdge she's like 2/3 invincible tho
but, i will say that her dmg reduction is not very effective against BB shells
because half of BB shells don't even hit backline

so BB dmg reduction shouldn't be the main reason you run fortune
you run fortune for CV defense
hood and washy hit main tho
does hood even deal any other dmg tho
compared to CVs which fire 9 planes which touchdown on ur backline
hood should hit for like 800-900 on front
or 8
the problem i have with fortune is 1. low HP pool and 2. wasted flank defense against BB comps
i mean that's all destroyers
they top out at like 2.3k hp
on a retro
aka 2 hits
or 1 focused assault sodak gun
= dead
the reason i haven't docked her to tier 1 is because currently the meta has CVs mixed in it
either foxes or ent are common sights
and fortune is very effective against those ships
but fortune evasion skill + eldridge makes her outlast anything
or you could just use any other ship with eldridge
and have more effect on the outcome
well
think about it this way
even without eldridge
fortune outlast anything with a 30% chance
because of extreme evasion
on a much lower uptime
if you run eldridge, you risk the chance of extreme evasion overlapping with rainbow
or 30% chance of instant death from sodak xD
essentially wasting a skill
so it's not really that much value
i use fortune to make sure my akaga doesn't die to some focused shoot from sd or hood/washy barrages not much beyond that
if you think it from a value perspective
đź‘€
partial overlap or not it's still a risk of overlap
2 DDs in a fleet is dangerous imo
Hell i don't even have eldridge bought yet lmao
Insta gib by bb shell
i run 3dds lol
You guys switch fleets? 
CL has that meaty 4k hp
Don’t be a one trick pony...?
you can soak like 3 bb shots
I don't
xD
Never be a one trick pony
uhh
Gib plates
🍽
Ye that too
like pearl reppuu and dildo
I run as according to my opponents.
and too lazy to switch in general
i'm way too fucking lazy to move shit around
Hood/Akaga for attack, WasdEnt for def
Dildo 

usually you dont have to swap your entire comp though
tho i just really wish i farmed a 2nd reppuu
i see it the other way. a dd comp is most likely to dodge a bb shot and a cl will tank more of the cv dmg

I just made a fleet that can withstand anything
DD Comp against Bb backline can work

But CLs work better, doesn’t mean DD’s can not work
the suicide damage
Against mixed backlines, well, mixed vanguard ofc
Is that so
i want a 2nd reppu for my kaga
Reppu hp too low
All of my primary DDs (Fortune, Eldridge, Cygnet) have double +10 Toolboxes
Maybe that’s why
triple dds is just going to get nuked by 406mm
One Bb shell and 
reppuu HP is 479
They can actually tank SoDak’s focused assault
and they dont have THAT much anti air
yeah with no chip from belfast
They do, put Roomba on them
it's not a huge difference but it's definitely noticeable
Doesn’t have to be gold Roomba
what makes reppu far better is her 162 touchdown
VF17 only has like 110 touchdown
My fortune has... 2.3K HP at base
running 2 reppuus means you don't pre-proc AA circle
so generally for the purpose of spacing your planes
you want 1 reppuu only
Excluding the bonus from PvP mode
i just want 2 reppuus so i don't have to swap
xD
Fortune in HMS makes you consistently win in a shelling fight with WASDHood tho.
In my personal experience
Iirc every ship in pvp has 2x hp and deals 0.5x damage before other modifiers
Yep
ah, i dont see a lot of wasd hood
xD
but even if they ran fortune, helena basically makes it moot rip
xD
I'm a wasd hood evangelist
Fortune (and Eldridge) are actually better at facing Helena than CLs.
The Radar Scan is useless against OP Rainbow and Extreme evasion
If I see Helena on the opposing team, I run 2/3 DDs.
By big walls. 200 affection +10 fleets
And they work.
do a trial fight with me if you see me on your lists this week Harcourt, interested to see whether it gets dicey or if it's a roll for you
We can’t, right?
Unless, somehow, in that slim chance
I run into you
Among thousands of players
🤣
Attacker Boost makes it moot anyway. Even if I win.
I'm friends with a few people and we run into each other a couple times a week
Okay, if it happens, it happens then. 
I usually take out Washy first in WASD Hood comp
Lol
Lex
Oh lol
Idol-onee-sama server
If SoDak doesn’t get to 30% before Washy dies, that blue skill gets nullified
But it’s a challenge, a good one.
wait what, if im running helena, it's to kill the backline
and ignore the vanguard
fortune 15% is completely shut out by 40% amp
especially on top of barracuda aoe from enterprise
just skip the vanguard
just wait til u try fighting someone with 6 UFOs
It's very rare for planes to miss the vanguard and hit the backline
instant plane pop
1.2 *1.4 * .85 is 42% damage

I'm not sure what you're describing
been casual farming 7-2 and I have like 2 blueprint

AA is the slot I have the fewest golds in
ufo farming, now thats next lvl lol
Torpedo is the slot I have the most, second repair cranes
i'm not sure if 6x UFO is the best mix
still at least you get purp plates in 72
Don't you love it when ayaya crashes into backline and fires torpedos
big dmg and range but you'll have a 1.36RoF or something
u only get one shot in pvp anyway
I plan half bofors half ufo
i put gold bofors on my juneau
if the enemy is good and they space their fighters
xD
according to ppl in community server
they'll force your AA circle to pretick before the cudas come in
basically
as long as noobs people stop using VF17
they'll realize reppuu is master race

alternatively don't run planes 
ye ufos are legit
you should have them on all USS BBs and juneau
but if you're gonna slap a UFO on belfast
i have
Am I the only one that calls it roomba
I have so many quint torps
Cranes are not the worst thing you can get. At least they give aux plates.

how many quints u got
https://puu.sh/C9vhs/5b38d89796.png this is the worst
i blame recluse
Holy shit, 12
12 quints
Jesus
you have more quints than me
dear god
idek how much i have
that's a lot
lemme check
i have precisely 4
yeah
lol
Yay, popped up to rank 6 after reset

yeah i stopped upgrading those quints after about 5 as well. need to save the plates for mag torps soon™

yea pre much
i use quads in pvp

quads have more dmg and hit the backline
Avrora people, feel free to whack me, i've used up my pvp attempts 
and better spacing according to some ppl
mr. rank 6
i gotta swap my belfast out of dorm first, just hit 100
fuck man
i am salty af
about getting another banana
really wanted another ufo
at least u didn't get a crane
same. sakura boxes are all fucking garbage for me. I have like 5 useless A6M5, not a single 100mm or quad torp from them
crane quint and catapult
then i farmed my 3rd one

how many t3 plates u need for rainbow magnet torp?
still have no ufo, and only 1 quad
Too fukken many
i'm at 400
In other words
then u gud
At least i got anothet gold catapult out of boxes
i've been saving up purple plate stoo
i hate getting gold catas
i'm ready 
i only use like 4 at the most
oh mb
use 288 aux plates to +10 your z-flag 
Worth
if you atually do that you can go ahead and donate me all your purple plates instead
LMAO

+10 gold btd for more touchdown, speed, AA, and launch 
+10 gold btd for flex 
alright time to go to #gameplay-help to recruit some people to this channel
I dunno if people need to be actively recruited
👏
I dropped down to 30 now
i'm trying to create the ultimate community here ok 

I think it's better if it's mostly people who actively want to be part of it and seek it out to make a good community but that's a philosophical thing I guess
o
F
spent 2 hours right before reset in a meeting with my boss
xd
oof, warspite ate a 2k demon dance
im gonna start memes with HMS
xD
Which gun for Eldridge?
Imagine Warspite equipping two UFOs on her chest lol
I used to use the Aya Gun but I recently switched to Twin 100mm Gold cause Eld has 115% main gun efficiency
i like 76mm on both aya and eldridge for barrage spam
Yea, but with 76mm she does nothing but barrage and skill
With Gold Twin 100mm, her normal shots actually do something on top of barrage
Try it, enhanced of course
If not enhanced, Aya Gun is still superior
If you don't have a gold twin handy it's fine to use aya gun
Frontline damage is while not statistically irrelevant still minimal compared to backline
i have 0 100mm golds so guess aya gun it is


vanguard needs chip to guarantee BB kills
is all
or kill confirm them
after burn damage
i'd say my aya keep up with main every battle
KILL STEAL jk
Kill Confirm. I love that phrase
if not mvp

nothing like watching a 1 hp destroyer zoom off
at the speed of light
xD
cause fire doesnt kill
I may train Glowworm just for the memes
they should make it so that fire extinguisher prevents fire death
and make fire kill
=D
xD
unlucky e
i dont understand
helena with hood/kaga
like
what
none of those are going to sync
WHYYYYYY
makes no sense
Maybe they are hoping for the 2nd airstrike proc
It syncs from second radar onwards but
:kappa
tbf it does sync with hood
No hood fires at like 17 sec
if you do FCR hood there's no way
well ofc, but with only 410 it does sync
u lose like 1 barrage x fight tho
all can sync
I think it hits just at the right time, 410 with no reload eq. for first barrage at least
If it does it doesn't keep it up from second on lol
Unenhanced 410 maybe
But why? XD Just use enhanced 406
and u get debuf when it air
At +10 hood fires at like 17-18
did u ever get helena aint proc more than 1 mins
Yep
release at 19 but arrived at 20 or so
its hard rng
Helena doesn't have a high chance isn't it only like 60
i saw like 4 lucky e in a row and had to reset...
then everything can work 
60 is high
60% is big
remember, most doubling skills are 30
Nah, Eldridge can’t work against Akaga, Maisora
YAHALLO EVERYONE
sure in comparison to other ships but I mean in a general sense
eldridge have a 20s hidden cooldown

Slightly better than a coin toss
Not hidden so much as shitty translation
you need to wait 20s before her rainbow can procc
Just add “Stats on cooldown”
my recruiting failed but i'll try next time 
Problem solved
It does say that doesn't it
kano who 
uhh just people who ask pvp questions
get dunk in here
i'm trying to create a better #gameplay-help here
hes like the only guru that does pvp
Oh it doesn't
lol
i lost 
actually if i knew who this character is that'd be sick
It's already better than #gameplay-help because you don't have the smuglords going "pvp is broken and if you enjoy playing it for some reason you're stupid"
because i use this emote all the time --> 
damn nox lag i cant quit REEEE
@real notch this is not #gameplay-help. There is no better #gameplay-help. There is just #gameplay-help and #pvp. Any attempt to encourage channel elitism, as seen by me, will result in your ejection from this channel (and probably help too). Am I clear?


pvp is fun imo i just don't like the ranking system because anyone can reset to win
apparently
all isaid was
i want to make this a good community
and now i'm some evil entity promoting elitism and trying to disrupt the peace of the server
@zenith tundra while that is partly true, you won’t beat some strong composition just by going whatever
yeah, just make the attempt for PVP used up the moment you press go at the fight
SeemsLegit
that will make PVP less munchkin-ny
@stable panther That’s unfair because disconnection can happen.
Necessary evil but yea
Better than the alternative
There's a lot of ways pvp could be improved
then be like HI3, they boot you back to the fight you disconected to
I think the main issue is the current "goal" is waiting for other people to play their games to maximise your score
a lot of game calculate pvp result the moment you enter battle, can be solution to dc
I’d prefer real time Manual PvP maybe? Hmmmmmmm....
oh well, doesn't matter, no one cares to improve or change PVP anyway
On that note, what I said applies to every single one of you here
@stable panther That’s a hyperbolic generalization, there are people who care
This is a pvp discussion and advice channel. It's not meant to replace #gameplay-help, but to share the question load to take pressure off that channel.
Just there are people who care about CA’s late game issue
@slow totem i forgot to add "at least, none of the dev seems to care"
But we aren’t YoStar staff so... eh
True, same issue with CA’s late game performance
I do not want to see people here going in and egging #gameplay-help or picking a fight there, as @real notch had just done.
chat is better dead -mod 
well, a dead chat is better than a misused chat tbh

syanda
why are you typing this in #pvp
when nobody has ever picked a fight in #gameplay-help
here
uhh
ufo is super decent
and basically what happened was
i thought the wiki had a problem because the RoF on my gun wasn't the same as on wiki
also ow, 12.7k wasd/e hurts
which is a big thonk
xD
someday ill try the fight

or maybe just oath wash and save myself some trouble
wasd power aint matter tbh 
looks like enterprise duels regardless
maxed wasd hood is 13.6k
btw recluse
wasd ent is 13.2k
i feel like those 410s miss vanguard al lthe time
i'm still on wasd ent so ent usually cleans up the vanguard
yea that's true
they are actually a bit meh for actual damaging purpose
i really like that about 3x BB/BC backline
ye
just the 127s shredding
yea lol it's amazing
150 on hood rip
yep
uhh
other than not having 200 affection
pretty much
i guess
im farming with qe and ws to bring them to 200 tho
pirate?
f4u pirate
uhh
use QE with other nations boat 
VF-17, he means
disclaimer that all top tier gold fighters are like very very similar performance
but if you like to minmax
i would say don't use VF17
not even 200 affection yet
the reasons are VF17 has low touchdown dmg and pools a lot of stats into AA
in a mainly wasd meta
i would focus on fighters that have more plane-to-ship dmg
5% aa probably wont save you from lucky e nor akaga anyways
like reppuu and hellcat
oh, but i guess when sandy kai shows up
idk
suzuteo lied to me? 
im using double gold radars
you can buff her aa more lol
i'm running dual +10 hellcat now
on WS and QE
oh
gold fcr and sg radar
hm
on hood
hmm
well i'm not an HMS expert but
yea i think max for HMS is gon be 13k
i think suzuteo probably thought 12.7k given 2 purple FCRs
prob
Pretty much
Because people typically run the FCRs instead of SGR
they might be able to with nagato maybe
different ships have different power lvls
dont you also run double catapult with nagato
idk
the aviation multiplier just becomes crazy
ask patchy
he uses nakaga
no you still use fuel tanks
yeah cause you get 200 times 20%
@idle python
and let aviation boost plane hp or something?
someone has a question for u
nope

u need 1 tank for cv
yeah
hello
plane HP boosted for touchdown dmg
hey patchy
oh, i thought the hp from the aviation was relevant enough
that's the only reason you run fueltank
xD
do u use 2x catas on nakaga
no
1x cata 1x fuel tank



what
i mean you'd just basically check the damage difference on torp/bombs
compared to the lost hp on end of screen
straight math check
yeah
i have it but i can't find it
but if my theory is correct i think it's dmg x (plane hp + hp boost)
so for example
using the reppuu for instance
the touchdown dmg is 162
so it's a flat amount
whered u get that chart?
based on flat HP at 479
25% dmg boost pretty much
touchdown dmg should be like some function of that extra HP boost
i'm too lazy to find the formula
@delicate shore
secret sources
jk i'll send it
uh, touchdown is current hp%
just post it here
That's from that blog, yeah
is less percent
Was about to link it
nice
i spent 2 days in hyperbolic time chamber this blog learning stuff that it seems was unknown knowledge
