essexe centaur is a legit comp
but ull never see dogshit CN players pick up on that

wtf i encounter'd a opponent named "lolicon150cm"
golden age of pvp was killed off anyway

maybe they'll just wait for a while on ws kai
nakaga is dead
I don't get why the cn pvp tier writers never tried out centaur
even with CN pvp being coded differnetly
u would think that at least centaur slow is the same
idk
maybe with the loss in damage from cv it's just not worth
cn pvp got exposed when FW released in JP

iirc they had essexE Sara on the PvP tier list for a short moment
imagine running saratog
But never put in centaur 
omegalul
tho
a couple of higher tier pvp players in cn
on discord say they use centaur
a lot
so probably just guide publishers are baddies
i saw some vids of essexe w/ centaur
idk why people would run sara when centaur exists

essexe centaur can oneshot
Junny belfast frontlines
with no debuffs
on ur side
it's gross
Yeah "en cn" compared to "bilibili cn players" tend to have pretty different opinions from what I see
i looked at a few vids of essex comps
w/ sara it was pre pathetic tbh
but centaur made it so fuckin good
centaur buff + centaur slow

i should play that comp
for a nother day
before warspite kai takes over entirely
every day
another one pops up

are we getting fa on avrora later
fa?
i still don't have top 100 yet
i won't even try to get any of the bonuses till end season
before warspite kai takes over entirely
Isnโt it still a meme in def?
I donโt quite understand all the fuss around it
she's not a meme on def outside of hms fleets imo
is amagi + akaga/ ayajintsuu + 1 still one of th ebest comps for pvp?
in en yes and aurora is a must for akaga tbh
even after cny... u must be really unlucky lol
use belfast till u get aurora then
yeah i'll probably do that
u can use sirius but she doesn't really fit with torp vanguard
how much pts does top rankers have at end of season usually?
2600+
unless you're on Sandy. Then its 2580~
hmm prolly cant make it this season
told u hooloo u can,genrush
think ill end up around 2580 yea
but not top 10 on last reset
lol
those ppl wake up in middle of the night just to get points


I ended at #1 on Sandy with one match lost last season 
i got lazy camping this 2nd half of the season 
You can only sandbag to a certain point at Sandy because late season you literally cannot get any bonus points since everyone else is so behind. You start getting into top 10 with 5/10 attemps.
wtf is this trash

looks normal to me 
i haven't seen a royal box in the shop because all we get is trash
i'm sitting on 78k gold and nothing to use it on the whole day
im at 98k with natural regen capped and wasting.
nothing to spend on anyways
so im stockpiling for WC
get some gear skins ๐
sure levels grows on tree and all my ships are ready for refit
i've been running 24/7 since graf spee event ended the 4.5k gold comission
because literally nothing to do other then waste some oil on maya
is not like i actually care about collection rbh
aiming for 100%
fuck 100% without avrora
The shitty japanese gold bomber iirc
At least it should give purple plates


2 golden barracudas, finally
rng in this kusoge is fucking me right in the ass
17 royal boxes opened, and 2 barracudas is all i've got
I am sandy and this is me hitting 250 with 5/10 while 5 games down this season
This server is something special
can you reach 1770+ score this reset?
We have been through a lot, it's only fair
too many waifus to choose from. why must they let us choose only one for V day 
valentine thing is after this reset?
Nah. On the 14th after maintenance
you'll get a unique letter from whoever was your secretary ship.
valentine without Monarch
daga kotowaru
you only need akagi 
thank you for your service ๐ https://puu.sh/CLuxG/0eedfc7c01.png
unfairly bullied divebomber
comet plane

you mean as a dive bomber? xD
yeah
I used suisei to efficiently farm vdir 

low hp ships in pvp are really bad plus bad armor
They just have no defense against anything faster than their timing
Plus, I don't think their barrage hits hard enough to matter much
also rip me i have to lose a match ffs
monitor barrage directly hits in front tho
It needs to hit hard enough to kill to matter, since there's almost no way they live to 2nd barrage
the only thing light armor stops is ws kai and most likely monitors still die to her barrage
But the main issue is still that they're too slow and squishy, and so can't make it to their barrage
poor monitors
good season 
@zenith tundra what did you do 
eh just farmed w10 a bit to try 410 vs 406 and unequipped aux on amagi + beaver on jintsuu and got wreckt in mirror
i don't get it if it's amagi barrage bug or what but mirror is starting to get hard
maybe should just use belfast instead of aya as everyone else
plus still no gold barra so i go after opponent akaga
Ayanami is a meme on offense. Torps are twice as threatening on defense
I never understood what does you guys mean by "meme ship" an good ship or a bad ship? 
the problem is that i find mirror really hard tbh.
plus aya really only shines against bbs
meme worthiness is orthogonal to the gameplay quality, imo
for example, Amakaga/Jintsuu/Naka/Sendai is a fox meme fleet
even though 5/6 of the ships there are top-tier
I usually mean "meme" as narrow application. It's good in circumstances that aren't present or are hard to set up. Ayanami is really good on defense because her torps have good chance to hit either front or back. Offense is much harder to pull off because of the distances
aurora avrora jintsu memes for me

the 35% more vanguard dmg is dank
but she dies as fast as she kills
shell make your vg alot slower too
so lol
the problem with aya def is that u cannot use 4 ships. aya needs jintsu and u need belfast aurora to be relevant
If it's for amkaga, Juneau>Belfast imo, the health pump and much higher AA damage helps more than just smoke
But yeah, it's hard to slot in Aya. I'd say just go full offense in that case, with Jint/Aya/Aurora and try to win by killing everything, or just drop Aurora.
im thinking more like belfast jintsuu aurora with this setup
belfast bulge badge
jintsuu bulge oxy
aurora bulge tear
what i noticed in these mirrors is that my vanguard dies really fast and either is a draw like both vanguards die at the same time or enemy vanguard lives because of belfast. and then its amakaga va amakaga and i lose because the lack of gold barra. i need my vanguard to get in front of enemy main fleet
why not just go full offense bel/aya/jin or bel/aur/jin?
or well not full offense smh since bel but it's tanky enough and dish out enough dps without having to worry about any other def comps
I bored using fox sisters...
Crane sisters best change ma mind...
I don't really like Aurora for foxes because believe it or not, Belfast smoke is rather effective at reducing the impact so you end up just using her for torps and torps are bad on offense
She feels quite overhyped in general, but maybe it's just foxes missing power to slam it down with her help
belfast has a 35% dmg reduction against airstrikes. aurora only partially mitigates the smoke effect
i wouldnt rely on torp to save my life
Well that works
they are more random then rng
ill try whitout aurora for a change and see for myself
I just go back and forth with ships tbh
yeah i should change like that too. i know that aya is better against bb but belfast smoke is so good against foxes
I just prepared them
That's why i farmed an extra mag on spee
If i need aya just switch
If not then Belfast
If I'm in deeps juneau
If i just want enemy Enterprise to be a plaything i just slap Eldridge remove one fox


also the thing that i dont really get is why im having trouble only recently because i never really lost mirror in so long and not consistent struggle like this last day. maybe amagi barrage bug is at fault here
Means you encountered the unlucky streak
literaly all mirrors is my vanguard dead by akaga airstrike
Ye that will happen a lot of times
You should've made more than 25 samples
It changes midway
Juneau come to save~
id rather use belfast the juneau. juneau is good in a def comp where u want ur main fleet to outlast opponent. i want to just outlast vanguards so my vanguard can eaily kill enemy amakaga
I use bel cause she has my quint rainbow and she's on both offensive and defensive so ye

Welp my vg focused on defensive..
ill use quint on jintsuu with oxy too
I let main f*** em all..
I just need to stall at least more than usual
i cannot win mirror amakaga only because of lack of gold barracuda

Gets worse if they get aviation fuel too tbh
takeoff reduction
i was sitting in 88k gold when i woke up and shop still useless

is it faster or slower then gold barra?
well not like i have options right now tbh. all my royal boxes are memes for me
even considering going for 100k farm lol
in wc for t5s
Helldriver, Aichi, Pirate n Bara still at da best..
searchal Blackburn_Firebrand
Cuda change ma mind
Time to modify planes like using fulmar

German plane
Just to be on par with speed
Just go back Washington for now
Watch everything die in shells


hope doy will work tbh
if not just gonna reset a lot
but belfast should be enough to make sure i win vanguard fight
Welp my loli is calling...
Cya~
also now that i thibk about it all those 13k amakaga memes are not good to try stuff out maybe im just finding now good amakaga bis comps
HMS is fine now if you have equipment and shells should put it up to good again. Still wondering how good doy will be
ill definitely jump the hms train if it works. im just worried about amagi and her broken buff/debuffs
Amagi only really messes with HMS when ran with wasd, cuz then your trades are weird and you can just lose to rng. Shouldn't be as much of a problem with shells cuz you should be straight outdamaging them then, but we will see
that miss chance is a thing and im worried u might not be able to contain amakaga + torp dmg. vanguard might die vay to easily
I ran Juneau Belfast Leander, works really well. Good mix of tank and damage. Often ends up torping foxes in the face after disposing of vg
Also let's you run oxy on Belfast if you feel like it. It's alright
Can probably also get away with silly stuff like Belfast Aurora Jintsuu on HMS. Not sure how good it is vs Amagi, but before the event it was rather effective.
i think that jesus is mandatory for it to work tbh
As long as one ship in vg survives till second strike, you kind of win unless you can't hit any of bb shots
So I wouldn't say she's mandatory, just rather useful at accomplishing this goal
i tried yesterday and my qe was 10% hp after akaga 1st airstrike
Sounds like Ryuusei, and she survived so she will shoot, so it's probably not a big deal since all the sakura torps will target her again
if u dont win vg fight tho
amakaga without aurora
all my vanguard alive
3 out of 3 times all my vanguard alive and opponent dead. no way it can do anything without aurora
Someone should try flank amagi instead of flagship because you should be able to snipe a fox this way and win a mirror instantly, instead of just betting on your vanguard doing a better job at being alive after first strike.
If someone already tried then they should tell me how it went cuz I could do it myself, but optimizing foxes bores me
I do wonder why is Amagi always flagship. I guess humans enjoy symmetry
isn't it to soften the front line?

If you can kill a fox with barrage+planes then there's no point
amagi flagship so her barrage is not useless
only work if they don't have a belfap
How is flank barrage useless
it doesnt shred vgs
Fine I will test it myself, geez
if you really want to test your theory should test vs with and w/o belfap
I thought it's a simple concept
Belfast is a non factor if you are not trying to hit vg. The explicit purpose of running flank is to sink a fox in a mirror through ignoring the frontline. If you can do it between strikes, you end up winning by default cuz you have 2 foxes with 35% higher aviation vs 1 without a buff
A wild Canuck appeared!....Again.....(only this time with an actual defense fleet)
The Nep ships are gone, his gloves are already off.
just asking but does foxes buff disappear after one of them die?
i thought they get the buff regardless?
Its not worth since enemy akaga will go off twice before barrage sinks 1
same case with QE
I tried with HMS before
amagi buff is real
QE stays, Foxes lose theirs afaik
then they should add "while alive"
Sssh indie game devs, that's too difficult
They should not have prefixed Jintsuu skill with torpedo command, cuz it's not. EN tooltips have way more severe issues than foxes being vague
^
never said that only foxes have issue
tbh that did confuse me for awhile until you explained that to us Dax
in general there are so many hidden shit that could be fixed with a simple line
in which they don't have
i tried with an hakaga in my list an u can snipe a fox with airstrike but only if amagi doesnt target flagship insted
full BB back line?
against amakaga u cannot snipe a fox easily u need 2 barrages
Maybe Hood is just better in the mirror then 
foxes dont die that easily because of amagi
Hood barrage hurts more and faster second strike might also be a factor. It's probably only for mirror tho
meh just use WS kai and watch as she snip the enemy CV into oblivion
everything but monitors is medium or heavy in backline
noted
she couldnt protect anyone 
@finite valve i was using amakaga and trying to snipe a fox in mirror. it takes 2 amagi barrages to kill one but couldn't really try against a comp with belfast aurora to see how it impacts vg victory
well amagi barrage was design to snip VG instead of back line anyway
at least i hope?
like her barrage is still fucking buged after like 3 patches already
so i have 0 idea on what her barrage is suppose to do
amagi barrage was designed to work from not flagship position in pvp hence ht targeting system in it and to clear waves of enemies in pve with the ap bullets
Amagi can easily fire twice before 2nd strike, right? So this should be an easy win condition in a mirror
i would say yes but if u lose vg is not guranteed tbh
with amagi off spot torp can implode foxes
well since we dk how her "real" barrage suppose to work / look like
just guess work atm
and if you still need 2 barrage to even snip a fox
just put her in mid
need a good comp with strong vg to full try it
im even more worried that belfast will last forever tbh
on defense
you on CN JP right?
especially of bad torp rng
so just use WS kai lel
en lol
oh
the name is a meme... it's yukikaze line when she activates her skill: yukikaze sama nanoda!
@finite valve Again, I thought this would be a simple concept, but I guess this needs an in depth explanation. Shelling VG in a mirror doesnt do anything because you are just trading blows, since EVERYONE is running her flagship for some reason. The idea is to abuse this fact and alter your position so the barrage sinks a backline ship instead of doing an even VG trade, since your VG will protect your now sort of exposed fox flagship from Amagi barrage. IT'S STRATEGISING AND TACTICS
since the mirror is what you will most likely face, having a pocket strategy that is as complicated as just MOVING A SHIP before pressing Start Exercise is an IMMENSE advantage
for that strat u would use juneau then
if u plan on winning with akaga alone then u would use juneau aurora belfast
and I love tiny shit like this to death, which is why I play HMS mostly
by putting amagi on the side, you realize you'll have to put 1 fox as flagship right? not sure if i would want to stick to that
It's just a concept, largely untested, but VG should eat the Amagi barrage and with Amagi defensive buffs they should not have issues tanking just enough to sink a fox in a mirror and win this way
ths only thing would be that 406 is better but dunno if fast enough for sniping as non flagship
flagship still has the highest risk of sinking so 
and this tiny tech lets you use tankier VGs because smashing opponents VG is no longer your main win condition
I once played against suicide wasdA where the Amagi on flank managed to snipe one of my foxes. GG, had to reset.
ill try that to see if it makes mirror easier. hope i get some decent comps in my list
Doesn't work though unless you run 3 bbs if you run Amakaga Amagi best at center
No point doing that if Amagi is going to take 3> barrage to take down 1 fox
amagi is good in the middle because her barrage is a mini airstrike that makes winning vg battle easy and since amakaga has almost no def against vgs its easy win
Sniping works if you can take down fast but even with 3 bbs its gonna be rng
if u cannot win by vg u need to kill a fox
We just established she takes only 2 barrages to kill a fox, making this strategy absolutely viable to go for
akaga touchdow dmg helps a lot tbh
Consistent 2 barrage or lucky salv from Amagi?
i need to try better but i need a comp almost maxed out which i dont have in my list
i tried 3 times and a fox like 20-40% hp after touchdown dmg but by that time vg already won because of opponent vg not being optimal
my phone is almost dead too. gonna save battery for attempts later
If my memories serve correctly, it takes like 2 barrage from Hood and 2/3 from Warspite to kill a fox
without salvos
yes but plane suicide is a lot of damage
Tried a few times barrage does like 20%-30% the rest of damage comes from salvos/stray torps/plane torps
a few times their middle Amagi died before Kaga
I cant test it because every amakaga fleet in my lobby would die even if I didnt use Amagi and had only Akaga in the back
#sandy
amagi barrage not for snipes like hood or monarch
amagi barrage for field wide pressure
since it can aim at everything
my carriers seem to always get massively outdamaged by opponent carriers, how do i boost their damage most effectively?
im using long island and ranger retrofit
become more lucky
or accept that light carriers that arent centaur will always struggle with damage
no i stepped on a black cat in front of a mirror
what carriers should i get then? enterprise? akaga?
ther's a reather limited pool of carriers that can do well in pvp for one reason or another, most of them will either deal close to double damage compared to normal carrier for one reason on another (akaga sister ship buff and other IJN nonsense, Enterprise skill) or just amplify your other ships by a lot (Centaur, Ark)
about anything else is too niche, unreliable or just straight bad
alright, i guess ill just keep slowly grinding up amagi and akaga, are the pve bombers also the best in pvp? and are there any obvious pieces of gear that are shit in pve that are good in pvp that i should be aware of?
This is carriers, Fighters might change, but this is basically the loudout you want unless you need something super specialised
are the purple versions of hellcat and barracuda comparable?
They are decent stand-ins but feel really bad to get to +10
ye, i'd leave them at +6, i dont have anything +10 yet really
i also have many corsairs so that's nice
I think f4u is better intercept power, yea, dont know about bomb loudout
it's still 2 500lb bombs
so its good enough
idk if i did the math wrong or what
alright, next event gap i'll go farm another couple of catapults and helldivers
but when i actually did the math on aa from fighters
corsair was the best

gold corsair wasnt even close
but purp was still better than every other fighter

purple f4u is really good and it is on par with hellcat when it comes to intercept power, but the extra aviation and higher tier bombs is what makes hellcat THE intercept fighter
it has the same tier bombs
from what i can tell
hellcat only seems better for 20 aviation
difference between gold and purple bombs actually exists
and the lower cd on its guns
there's no difference in bombs
they're both t3
gold corsair is a t0 hero unit or w/e it's called
are they both t3 bombs?
yeah
according to anything ive seen about them
even cn wiki had it listed as t3 on purp corsair iirc
isn't tier based on base rarity? like gold quint homing is only t2 because there is no blue quint homing
@modern tree can u give me ur hms setup with ships and aux u use on them?
yes
also what mg u use on bbs
give me a moment
u can just pic if its easier
is there a consensus on homing vs normal torpedoes for bombers in pvp? im using nakajima b6n right now, if barracuda is better why is that?
barra best feature is lauch speed. homing is ok to use but only on kaga imo and it's usually better against non amakaga mirror because it's slow
homing torp can be used if u want to snipe ships like enty on def that usually amagi cannot damage because 2nd barrage hits her cloak
also because cudas have over 2.5x the kamikaze damage of ryuusei
that plus speed
means using ryuusei feels bad

how much is difference from purple cuda to ryuusei?
^ i was about to ask that
ryuusei or the purp sakura bomber?
gold ryuusei
purple barracuda vs purple nakajima for my question
ok was wondering because i have no gold barra yet after 6 months
cool at least i deal some dmg on my akagi
cuda is 480 kamikaze damage
guess ill swap nakajimas to cudas on my pvp botes and test it out
if this game could give me some gold cudas now i would be really happy
no only triple 406s for you
on the other side of the coin i think that hitting all 9 ryuusei torp on backline does a lot more then just hitting some from barra + touchdown dmg
well ryuusei are good for single target deleting a backliner
but they slow down your strike significantly
and can just whiff on shit like vg sometimes

i hate that so much i know
tbh it's more how slow they make it
cuz i would lose amakaga mirrors
to them getting 2nd strike faster

i lose 2 mirrors because of my slow launch speed from ryuusei and no gold barra
how is strike speed calculated exactly? barra is only 1s faster than ryuusei
if i ever get 2 gold cuda i'll try around till then im stuck
The formula used to compute the anti-ship DPS values of the torpedo bombers below is as follows:
it's averaged among all your planes
actual plane counts btw not just slots
then multiplied by 2.18
and add .3

lol
Warspite [406mm / twin 127mm / 105mm SKC* / 2x gold SG Radars]
Queen Elizabeth [406mm / twin 127mm / 105mm SKC* / Beaver Badge and SG Radar]
Hood [410mm / twin 127mm / 105mm SKC* / HFCR and Reloader, yes, Reloader]
Juneau twin [127mm / Quad Mag / 113mm Roomba* / Torp Bulge and Boiler(or Toolbox)]
Belfast [Belgun / Rainbow Mag / Bofors* / Torp Bulge and Boiler(or Toolbox)]
Leander [Belgun / Quad Mag / Bofors* / Torp Bulge and Pearl]
Craft AA to your personal needs, this is the setup that I found to work.
*Reloader is specifically to drop Hoods reload for double barrage to be faster than 2nd Akaga strike, giving you pretty good shot at just winning the matchup this way. There is no other reason to use this and you should use gold SG instead of you find this tech too commital or not reaching the reload speed necesary (I have hood at 200 and I am not sure if it works without that cuz I have no way to check)
(fighterx3 + bombx2 + torpx3)/8*2.18+0.3 for akaga?
change type of plane with reload for each plane. is that right?
oh ok
i'll try with hood not 200 and see... my hood is like 160
is order from top down? @modern tree
you rearrange hood and warspite depending on what you want to snipe
Juneau goes up front because shes tanky af and healing your VG gives you better shot at winning vs akaga than healing your back late
ok
Belfast is mid because shes tanking after juneau sinks, Leander is there just to smoke the torps and cheer
more or less
is that reloader +10?
ye, I am a proud owner of a SINGULAR maxed reloader
base reload is 16.88
mind that QE buff will drop that even lower and also HFCR things
I have 5 maxed SGs
gold?
all gold
wtf
I play the game
5k more then me lol
pretty sure my power is lower then yours still missing some +10
SGs are the only good pvp BB aux sides to hfcr and badge maybe and I play 3 BBs a lot
what do you even do after playing the game for that long? surely you must have cleared all the content and got all the drops
farm tbh
al is a grind game where u just wait for more ships to come so u can farm more
and playing pvp
i suppose that makes sense
gonna try hms against this
I am also addicted to maxing ships for no particular reason, I have like 50 lvl 100 ships with max affection
dunno, I like the game
max oathed affection?
I have only 15 oaths, but they are all maxed, yes
bruh
yes?
better get started on the other 35, rings aint cheap 
is it a win?
How did QE survive of all ships
it's kinda risky because QE AA is shit, but Leander has pearl
so you probably win unless leander survives bombs and then rams herself to death after QE sinks
this is even worse lol
how is your front getting rolled so hard, I am wondering
it should help, I think the only times I got rolled so hard up front is when Amagi barrage targets the front with the BB volley part
wow
you are missing so litte damage, hmm
can one of you explain why sg radar is preferable over autoloader for example or just a toolkit?
on backline
sg has hit rating and evasion which u both want on a bb
hp is mostly useless because it gives less ehp then evasion
SG is way more effective health than 500, Reloader is a meme aux used only for reload tuning
is the hit rating appreciable enough that it can hit the frontlines which are shooting around at a million mph like laffey kai and such?
hit rate unfortunately doesnt make bracket fire more accurate
even mirror is not easy
nothing makes it more accurate to dd flying around really fast
besides slows or when your vg is dead and it's closer to your backline
i see, on the note of movement speed, if im going to use portkai and wichita, is it worth giving them boilers to up my movespeed or just stick with evasion aux?

may i say that quit looks amazing for pvp....
this was the most consistent so far with 3 quint homing
u use 1 rainbow and 2 gold magquints?
i only use 1 rainbow 1 gold quint then 1 quad mag

idk without jintsuu u cannot snipe
should be
this say otherwise
I guess the gear is like 100% making it
those wall for the def are actually insane
this is best result so far with quint on aya jintsu aurora
enemy vanguard dead before akaga airstrike
quint homing is definitely better imo
like too many extra hits compared to quad
all attempts so far i won by vanguard
I am pretty sure this fleet is decent, but finding good fleets on Sandy is so hard.
can u post the power?
13k is gold gear for nothing
max bis should be around 12.8k
i think the one i have in my list at 12848 is bis maxed out
i think it's the oath that makes a lot of difference too
my ws is without and the other 2 are not max
my gear is like 500 points higher than yours on the main fleet
is the difference in between a +6 purple sg and a +6 reloader to a +10 gold sg and +10 reloader 500 points?
because that's all i had different tbh
no way thats 500 pts
that's why i'm saying it's oaths
dunno, I am winning every game against this fleet, yeah it has catapults
HMS is the money fleet
actual p2w
i'm gonna be there with doy
have all the time to finish qe belfast and hood oaths
before wc
ima mak imgr album I guess
last time i used her she always dies or close to dying after first strike
ill max ws skills first then try that comp
doy is like 3 weeks away so its fine
i'm wondering why i maxed out ws skill... i don't even remember when and why or for what purpose
dang howd you farm all those t3 gen parts 
u buy them in shop
over time
now i'm waiting even more vdir rerun... gotta have that double rainbow asap
double raindow d-- torps
im buying them but im not farming enough i guess 
I guess I should have added my profile scren just to give perspective on how much I actually play
eh i can't play as much al as i want since i like to play other games too
I play games as a job
thats nearly twice my attacks 
@modern tree where did u post?
I put it in the album, like I said
ok im just retarded and can't seem to find it
oh
the album he posted
its in the imgurl

you guys


from when u started playing?
16 August, the very start
i didn't quite play much in august tbh
trust me, if only I didnt have a full time job...
also usually when im farming im playing al/gfl while shitposting in discord
so i forget to start battles

1823 9/10
yep welcome to the club of 1 less attempt
Maybe i should really start sleeping early lmao
1827 10/10
1828 8/10 lost 2 fights 
oof
that sounds like me last season
I really just fell asleep when playing my pvps on reset times because I was sick, it was great
i fell asleep while playing al too this week and not even sick
I don't even think I can get a +11 this reset since all the people in my lobby are probably at 5/10 and can afford to do nothing.
I'm too casual for grinding 
how's that casual... u farmed a lot more then me
these peeps with 20k attacks 
i didn't really care about pvp for a long time
@modern tree ppl run Amagi on flagship for a reason. She isn't warspite, theres no need to try to "strategize" when her barrage is clearly best used in middle
and I rly don't get what ppl are going on about mirrors. Just upgrade ur gears if ur losing. U have 20% more dps, if u can't win in mirrors with that then smth is obviously wrong
amagi as was released in jp/cn in not a flagship because of nagato. everything about her barrage is meant to be used for pve and useful in pvp even as not flagship
Unlucky streak sure, but the complaints here make it sound like a regular issue. I haven't had to reset a single time this entire season
how unlucky do u have to be ofr that lol
i was using quads instead of quints that was my mistake lol
If I assumed people play the way they play for a reason I would be playing Eugen, Starter kai, Taco, Hood, Illustrious, Enterprise
Stagnation is death
Challenge the status quo
just trying around stuff is the most interesting part of pvp
ofc, go for it by all means. Meta don't pop up out of nowhere if no one ever experiments, but there are things that are quite obvious (such as amagi on flagship)
no reason to overcomplicate it
i repeat amagi is not a flagship in jp/cn
down to the smallest of details.
so she works as not flagship too?
You need to understand the difference between the meta on cn/jp and en
WasdA had her on top
Nagato needs to be flagship
But for standard fox
tlaking about Amakaga
It's better to lose amagi than the other 2
what i'm saying is amagi can be used as not flagship for some reasons
Oh that
Yes, but I'm referring to amakaga as I said
if i see that sniping a fox is a viable choice and i build around that is not a bad reason to have her as not flagship
isnt it the same
u snipe ppl amakaga
they snipe your foxes
cos u put foxes in middle
She doesn't snipe any better by putting her in a different position though. All you achieve is focusing fire on another ship while making ur barrage probably missing enemy vg
^
she's kinda of bad at that but at least it might have worked tbh
except its more likely to get your fox sniped cos torps 
I am playing hms that has Hood with a Reloader, telling me of all people to not test something for the hell of it is rather foolish. Also telling me "people do it for a reason, don't bother trying something else" is also rather foolish when I suggested a fucking position swap. What is even this debate, how much time anyone was going to waste doing that
cos
the only valid reason I can see on en meta is against amakaga vs wasd, if u want to sink washy first. But even then it isn't really that effective
amagi barrage tilts abit
I'm not telling u to not try things lol
@Daxam ppl run Amagi on flagship for a reason. She isn't warspite, theres no need to try to "strategize" when her barrage is clearly best used in middle
How else am I supposed to interpret no need to"strategize"
I'm clearly bad at explaining things lol
enty
why not
Oh right. E foxes were a thing

Before amagi
i still see a few rn 
to be clear, my response was to this specifically
"Again, I thought this would be a simple concept, but I guess this needs an in depth explanation. Shelling VG in a mirror doesnt do anything because you are just trading blows, since EVERYONE is running her flagship for some reason. The idea is to abuse this fact and alter your position so the barrage sinks a backline ship instead of doing an even VG trade, since your VG will protect your now sort of exposed fox flagship from Amagi barrage. IT'S STRATEGISING AND TACTICS
since the mirror is what you will most likely face, having a pocket strategy that is as complicated as just MOVING A SHIP before pressing Start Exercise is an IMMENSE advantage"
There is barely any advantage if at all moving amagi on mirrors
try things sure, but overstrategizing isn't giving u anything. Just overcomplicate things and u end up losing focus on what's actually good or bad
lets just wrap this up
amakaga still the best with amagi in mid
but u can still try alot of memes

in the contest on what happened in the last day i said that i had problem with mirror because i have no gold cuda and always my foxes would go after opponent because of that. the purpose of trying and snipe a fox was because straight forward mirror amakaga i would've lost because of slow launch speed @split socket
bulin vanguard ๐
pls
35% dmg increase with jintsu is broken

youll like 95% die in first strike though
cos too slow too move youll die
dank memes
believe me avrora will be slow even if u put like beaver squad and
the other spd one
boiler
ye
no more ur pls i still have to use 1 but already tired of them tbh

i see the chance of avrora getting ur lower than 0.05% tho
first she is very limited and 2nd
al devs give no respecc
to mother russia
๐ซ
she's event too
where are my other vodka ships
we'll all get her in august in en
Daxam is making a wall
ima flex her before everyone gets her


Oh right so the dd aux for amagi
o.o
I think that this idea in particular has a rather binary outcome, it's either possible to sink a fox before second strike, giving you a win condition beyond just outpowering the opponent, or it is not possible and you don't use it. I don't think pvp is complex enough atm to be concerned with losing focus. You have a handful ways to win and you just pick one and play for it. It will work or it won't and journey is more important for me than destination
her aa is so bad u would use it on almost any comp tbh
lol no

slept through 5
i did that uh
couple days ago
i went to bed early before reset
then went to work without doing exercises first
so i missed 12pm and 12am
and i had 5 at 6pm

xD

Pretty sure it's possible since I've seen enemy amagi going down before 2nd strike (might be some stray torp though as I never rly pay attention), but as someone else said
im at 1817 with 4/10 atm
swapping positions on mirror to snipe foxes are kinda weird, cause u just put ur own fox against their amagi
mmm im not sure if u can still genrush
probably not, but it's fine
i don't want to rush it but dunno if i'll get it i don't
And the idea is that their Amagi will shoot your vg because that's why shes mid. Itwasworthashot

ive only lost the 5, rest are fine
if u farmed as much bonuses as zack last season
u can genrush
5 losses still got
unbelievable
on the same note u can have ur vanguard tank enemy amagi and get full dmg on 1 fox
i still don't have top 100 bonus yet lol
I always sandbag til gensui is available
sat?
dont sleep np
i'm gonna to sandbag till last reset
so what?
are u on sandy zack?
if i can end anywhere near top 10 i'm happy
dunno how top 10 endseason will go
avrora
i ended up top 100 with 5 less attempts last season
5 less not 1
how many bonus pts do you guys get per reset rn
cos im only getting 2 at most per reset
there should be at least top 10 ppl who got like no losses and sandbagged till the end
but we'll see
2 maybe 3 on a good day
0-2 ๐
so thats normal i see
it's hard to get points when other ppl are too far behind
losing 1 feels worse then losing 0 tbh
sandbag til last 24 hours and then blow all attempts during subsequent resets to flex and camp rank #1 all day cause Sandy is a triEasy server and nobody will be able to contest you

TriEasy 
like u miss the top train already and ur still dealing with people that are at 5/10 all the time
shame they don't have like end of season leaderboard announcement to show whos top :p
i would love that
maybe if they had less rng in the leaderboard lol
at least top 10 for evry server maybe even 100
top 10 I think
top 100 and u'll end up with a list bigger than banned cheaters on ex stage xD
kek
lol
they could even just post it in discord or something no need for twitter or other stuff
thats crazy
luck, patience and ruined sleep cycles ๐

who am I kidding, the commissions already ruining my sleep 
oof
i always send long ones before sleep if i can
I try to get the night comms :/ but they appear 5 am
ouch
ye lol
it cant ruin my sleep if its my normal routine already 
same morning till almost afternoon
