most of my back line died quickly and we're still at a similar situation
if you have recording better do this, record your bombing raid and sum up the damage
I'm not trying to give proof
I'm trying to explain so you can understand what I mean
I get what you mean what I'm saying I dont see any change in damage output as what you are stating
if i find a good amakaga without jintsuu i'll try myself
as far as my PvP experience its been mostly RNG when I'm in par with same Fleet Power sometimes I had to reset match coz there are times RNG of the opposing side is too good. Sometimes their Amakaga Raid bomb me so hard coz Anti-Air did not trigger same ol same ol ๐
Do you run jintsuu?
I run jintsu yes
I can run the same line up as what you have I have them all in min-max
i can try
Well if her existence in the match is what's causing it then I think you wouldn't see it
Well, finding enemies without her is hard too
And then there's RNG involved and what not
It could also be that I'm just imagining things
its hard to tell, RNG plays a big factor
I have to say my Enterprise in my WASD fleet seems to deal much MUCH less damage now
and then try with jintsuu comps
Awesome!
she used to hit vanguards pretty hard but now she barely scratches them
gonna wait for new season because out of attempts
Pretty sure the reason is that some players has already got their pair gold cuda
where as if I run a foxes comp they cause vanguards to evaporate
is the enemy vanguard not running any LC with Anti-Air?
people are starting to gear up 
Also I'd like to ask about jintsuu + ayaya - what setup do people run on them equipment-wise?
Aya + Jin + Tago \
Anti-Air skills when triggered somewhat lessen the damage of Air Raids
makes no sense why enty does not harm them as much
Because I ran into a guy today that had the most brutal opening torps I have ever seen
power wise i never saw a real change plus most of the time is not even maxed out comps
heck she seems to deal more damage against a smoked belfast
Means their eq is at 10 now
Mostly you see them post with +7-9 steam cata a month ago
I did a few runs against him and at one point he outright deleted my enterprise with opening torps
So I do think a lot of people had already gotten their bis equipment
And sometimes my Eldridge would go down in like 3 or 4 torps
That's normal
I'm just wondering what is he running?
I test around ppl like trump
I usually can take out 1 Vanguard at the 1st second when my Ayanami+Fubuki+Jintsu Torpedo hit a certain Vanguard
if I'm running Jintsuu Aya meme, it'll be this https://puu.sh/CNVPC/52a0aa6f5c.png
It Normally happens
Yup Gurren is right it happens. I often trigger that
Ohh, the rainbow torp is already on EN?
with my Ayanami+Fubuki+Jintsu
only when im too lazy to switch from my defense, cause i run them on defense
Okay maybe he's someone with that
when you get to the top 100 in PvP Ranking you'll be in match with the PvP Active and mostly min-maxed ship. You'll start to understand how stupid the RNG is.
I'm wondering if he's not running some kind of hit rate shenanigans that make his torps so much Drake
rainbow dildo has been on EN since september , visitors dyed in red event
^
Well I've been in top 100 and fought people like that, but they've never had opening torps that deadly
so it would seem that the torpedo stacking is tarting
I always does >__<
Ah, I didn't play the game back then
let me show you my Ayanami's Torp Damage
Oh right
ETH, but when you're attacking you get the damage boost too
Ether you have oxy on jintsuu when you're using wasdA right
I was attacking him
Ye gonna try it
since she's the only Ship in my Vanguard that has High Torp Damage
Oxy will be on Ayanami if She's in the line up with Jintsu
So should I oath amagi for future-proofing?
So i should also slot quint rainbow
But I think she could launch another set with quad
Ayanami + Fubuki + Jintsu 50% chance to take out 1 Vanuard at the 1st second of the match
Cause when nagato comes
don't use Fubuki on def though she sucks lol
It's too bad jintsuu skill doesn't work with BB torps
I saw someone do amagi + akaga, but kaga was a bb
Ooh jints has 73 more torp than belfast
imagine if you have 2 Oxy Torp
Belfast is ridiculously tanky though
im not even sure if that stacks
too bad she dies so fast vs foxes tho
they do stack since it's stat boost not passives
The goal is to have opening torps that win the match on their own
yup
I mean they kill all the ships!
that's the goal when you Go Fubuki+ayaya+Jintsu
ALL OF THEM
gambling on rngs....
when you fight someone at 13k+BP their are at min max set up. At that point its all about RNG now... Stupid...
tbh considering how much akaga does i wouldn't even go with torp vg but something else. the problem is that ijn buff amagi needs
I wonder when Nagato comes out will there be a new Meta line up 
wish there would be some other choices for ijn vgs
one end is nakaga other namaga with something that can deal with nakaga
it could work if u can outlast nakaga
sounds like you need WASD if you speak of "Outlast"
with hiryuu kai and taihou not in the game would be either kaga bb or hyuuga kai
wasd is a natural counter to nakaga but why run the same comp forever
wasd essex should work great against nakaga but will it work against namaga?
essex too squishy 
she's the best counter in the game for foxes
I'll try to min max her once she comes out
We need another essex
making another cv to counter cv
seems counterproductive
you need one that would work better against the other bs ijn has

or maybe even ws kai now
but i doubt that anything would really fix that short of something extremely specific
Idk. Even sandy can't stop akaga first airstrike right?
the problem is ws kai herself now lol
is the snipe really that cancerous?
it literally deletes a unit
from what some jp player said nakaga might be a counter to ws kai lol
Since most ppl post things like ws + Nagato + wildcard
prepare for some Belli dura despicio! 
ws kai makes the battle 6vs5 10 seconds in
that's stupid... how do you even prevent that from happening
I guess eldridge and pray for RNG
Operation Rainbow
no counter to that tbh. u can check that dmg on offense with hiryuu kai but any def is dead

maybe they should put subs in pvp too
QE kai - resurrects 1 ship per battle 
๐
make it happen
40% chance that enterprise cuts next air strike cooldown by 70%
Why can't I hold all these owari das
LOL
damn, thats it for all that waiting? color me dissapointed
what was the point difference and what was your current score?
So after dropping four games and losing one, I am still within two games off of top 3. The point algorithm seems really fishy also considering the above, where even 400 point differences aren't much at all

imo the worst part about pvp in this game is the fact that you can restart fights
what they should do is give manual control in pvp, but the moment you go into a match you're in it
I thought 40% proccing more than 70
if you lose, you lose
also anything above 70% proc rate should be 100%
or maybe even more than 60%
Let's just hope they do make some changes during UI patch
Every time someone says that they should punish restarts, I think back on the evenings when I did like 20 tests per fleet against the same guy, then changed fleets to test more and wonder, what actually motivates you?
real time pvp where both players manual and glowworm is meta and everyone rushes to the back with x3 DD and x3 boilers to break barrier and facetorp the backliners 
well, it's never going to happen becaus eit's a mobile game and meant to be casual
Do you want this shit to be even more of a side activity than it is? Do you want people to just do whatever because 10 charges is really tiny amount and you can just lose to rng ?
but you don't do only 10 fights in the pvp "season"
you do a lot more, and rng averages out over that time
the strong players will naturally rise above it
I am really unsure what are the supposed benefits of killing any fun anyone can have with this mode just to make it "competitive" in a worst possible way
because right now the only thing that really happens in pvp
is how much you can stagger your fights out to get maximum points
I just want more merit rewards 
What's wrong with this system? You can try things, experiment, run memes, laugh at "meta" fleets being toppled by Monitors, establish winrates, adjust equipment and fleet composition. You will take it all away because you don't like staggering your games?
the system right now is perfectly fine. and your solution to introduce even more RNG isn't going to make things more fun or competitive whatsover.
Ye it's very casual
well, right now it seems to me like the overwhelming majority bnarely pvp at all
Also doesn't force people who literally hates pvp to do pvp
Is why pvp channel was made

maybe the reason they hate pvp is because of the way pvp works?
No, from what i got months ago, they just hate it
when i first learned of being able to reset pvp fights in this game
i was on the verge of just deleting the app and never touching it again
because of how stupid of an idea this type of a system is
easy solution, remove reset, add friend/guild battles
well no, it's not easy
i mean design wise
why do you want me to lose battles that can give me more
because then people would complain about how they constantly get ruined by bad RNG
purins
Hope they add more stuff tho
pogchamp
I think that people would hate pvp a lot more if they had 0 control over it, and had to run only the fully oathed meta memes to circumvent rng to even have a chance to win
Than just removing reset
i mean, then they should balance ships lol, but since pvp is a casual farm
that isnt going to happen
30 ships vs 30 ships
"Guild"
would be a waste
skill wouldnt stack
you'd want as many different skill ships as possible
real time manual pvp is the dream 
thatll be memey
well need an auto match system
just manual vs manual
then theres the lag problem
I agree that the current 20 character friend chat and 300 gems chatroom are rather poor social features and they could easily do something there, but killing pvp for it is probably not the best idea
just have a dupe limit for guild fights so no x15 fox shenanigans
This game doesn't have a netcode. It communicates with the server at the speed of emails, lawl

Manual vs manual is a pipe dream
manual vs auto maybe
Very convenient
but manual vs manual
For H+ below data
Lol auto ship skills would ve useless
what is this

Like Belfast smoke can be easily avoided
why the fk did he tele
Since it is auto
lol
Fast ships would be meta if it's manual pvp
ive hit the point
where i'm so dominant in pvp
i should start making meme comps
that try to keep junny
alive at all costs

Keep her in dock to keep her alive
everytime i hard win and only 1 backliner left
pls
i have become cancer the destroyer of balance
Morgami instead of sanrui?
he needs mogami for 4 ijn
since he's running ws
everytime i fight hiryuu she's stuck there alone
with 1 HP
vs 5 (or 6) members

turns out a solo CV without any significant stat boost or pairing isn't actually that useful

i love the people who just blind equip her with ryuusei
"oh no you've selected my flagship"
"oh no you did 1k per torp"


If famine won't get hit by mines, he's probably 2607+
sometims I see 818 hiryuu and I regain faith
He was 2507 earlier
818 hiryuu is the way to go

what was the highest score ever
or any solo CV really
2607
2608 I think

There's a 2608?
so esteh wins this season
Kamita last season did 2607
ur graf zep soon pogchamp
Can't sait for UR subs
gib VIctorious UR retro plz
Retrofit Akaga as our CV URS 
srsly what a scum(sand)baggrr
enterprise historically should get at retro

Enterprise kai so that doode on Twitter can stfu
she was just a meh ship with godtier luck
but she did get
quite a broken retro
towards the end of the war
Kaga is already a retrofit
but uss and hms alrdy has ur
fuck the rools
KMS retro will be Bismarc release 
Just make Victorious skill do 300% against BB and we gucci
Nah
@odd schooner yah I think it was Kamita.. probably 2607
Last season
o.O
He's currently 110
2607 dios mio
I thought that my 2605 one season was the best anyone can do 
what level is the algota hiyate guy or however you spell his name
i mean, if he only plays al, all the power to the guy
Agito?
xD
something like that 
https://puu.sh/CNYgh/a12de81cda.png wew. 3 people snuck passed me. I slept on Sandy this season, shouldn't have blown my pvps so fast the past two resets 
famine in top 2?

Also Kamita

last 10 mins really
tfw sandy top 3 has lower top 3 than my cn server that I thought was ded
proof that every en server except avrora was dead from the start
I think barbarossa server had a season once where 2520 was the highest after one of the pvp season 
xD
I won't argue with Sandy being dead
Sandy a shit. I can't even break 2600 if I wanted to cause scores are so low on average, I just end up eating +9s even at 6/10 charges
If I can be in top 50 in collection rating, anyone can
2606 monkagiga


my server be like: "we don't give a shit about gensui rush but we care about finishing at the top at the end of season"
at gensui rush there's always one person who's like 50 points ahead of everyone else 

I always take gensui rush cause there's no way I will get it in last minute.
wait... which maintenance was today? xD

Pricing maintenance
scumbaggers
30 minutes
someday I'll remember to do all my pvp tries and not lose a single one
the one time I did complete all my pvp tries I lost once before I got gensui and lost one after I got it because I trusted yukikaze too much
surprising when you get ykkz vs akaga alone airstrikes barely do any damage to you
ah
so I decided to take the gamble since ykkz normally comes out on top and it just didn't work out that time
Is Yuudachi any good? I don't see ppl using her often.
poi>belfap or belfap>poi
Belfap + Ayanami Kai + Z23 Kai, is my current set up. any recommendation to replaces Z23
do u have aurora
Sadly no
try to 100 amagi if wanna pvp
amagi foxes + yuudachi if u wanna play her
then put ayanami and belfast
until u get aurora and jintsu

id say just remove poi and put juneau
but preferences comes first
depends on u
is juneau any good
how much rank difference do you all recommended to start fight
i just start as soon as i get a 1-1.5k gap
that's old meta
just use foxes
foxes + amagi
i mean
what fallen wing
vanguard ships?
Washington + South Dakota
fallen win refers to washington sd noca mostly
in pvp
id say
just use the current ijn meta
assuming u have foxes at max skill
yea
its not as great without aurora and jintsu
but its workable
do you have cubes right now
we'll probably have a boobship named sirius in winter crown event
roll her and max skill her asap
she'll be a good ship for foxes
a cheaper kind of aurora
aurora comes when?
aurora jintsuu sirius
more like to get quick win
i mean i can still win vs an aurora lel
just need good RNG and a bit of reset
been the case since day 1 of amagi
was using wasd enty back then
my mvp switch around all the time
sometimes is foxes / amagi / jintsuu
i used wash ama ent just 2 seasons ago and got gensui
pvp isnt that hard
just reset pog
well yeh like i said reset and good rng lol
probably torp slap
since everyone and their mother use jintsuu in pvp
anything with a good torp stat = good
lel
thats like
so hard to use in pvp lol
you literally need to torpslap
i just use rainbow, quad gold and quint mag
should have farm d1 of chess and sp3 of spee lel
although id prefer another quad mag
cos its more powerful
let me tell u a funny thing
i did all my spee runs
i didnt get a single
piece
pogchamp
of the damn bp
my guild mate just told me he alrdy built one
i was like what
it drop in spee event
i didnt even know

i farmed d4 yeah
i missed both spee and deutschland...and now i wanna kms
i got all ships early and wanted dupes so lol
dk if i should be grateful for 400 cubes 1 graf and 7 z46
since that is what help me to do d1 lel

at least your 400 got you 1 right 
never really a fan of 100%
especially with china twin
22 gold bp to be good
nty

i am going to kai them last
but not wil wc so near
200 cubes no hatsushimo
Meanwhile in manjew hq
Ha! Got em!
pogchamp
no gold or bp to waste on them
rich moma boi i see
I spent around 50 just to be sure hatsushime is a pure bait
i spent more on german event
going to whale for slots
i spent 300 i think
lol
just
buy slot per event
about 30 slots
cos its annoying to keep dupes
its like u want to get 1 graf
just whale all the slot now and stop thinking about it lol
about 1k is good
this cny event is cancer too
pog
tons of cubes before mullany
now pink bitch wont appear
still bitter
zzz
save your cubes, 3 days before the next major event
yeah thats why i wont bother for pink smug bitch loli anymore
im just getting really triggered
thank goodness they aren't baiting for cubes with good ships
Eldridge is still very powerful whenever I'm put up against it
What about her invincibility for the frontline for 8 seconds
Eldridge is powerful because of the invincibility, right?
how does Amagi counter invincibility proccing?
her skill has 20s cooldown that trigger at start
akaga has fastest first attack
That's assuming Akaga nukes frontline under 20 seconds
eldridge was also used to block enty airstrike
25% attk buff, torp frontline, akaga backline
eldridge dies before 20s
Enty is kinda eh rn. That's the funny thing.
Like even on Wasd comps I still think Amagi or Hood would be the better choice.
Enty just dies to Amakaga and any rando torps from your typical torp frontline
and even if her airstrike does go off so long as you have a Pearl Tear and/or Juneanu you're all good.
that is why you use juneau with enty
Wait, where is that guide with the PvP lineups
im using enty and i got no problem against any amakagas
Have fun
Thanks
if my WASD + E frontline can tank their 1st 20s attack
Amakaga just melts after that
I mean, I've beat lineups with Enty WashDakota
Amagi is just broken. Just wait until Nagato and Yuki get released for EN 
Japanese superiority.
bottomline is that any decent lineup can work
problem is currently frontline not tanky enough need yukikaze sama 
amakaga just wins faster on average
Port kai isn't awful but she could be much better.
So the BB Kaga isn't used at all?
BB Kaga in PvP is kinda just a meme
I mean her squishiness aside her barrage proc chance is too low to make her a reliable damage source, and then you factor in her torp skill which is only really useful for PvE anyways.
Okay o~o
You can still use her, she's just not great.
I've tried on my Amakaga comp but there's literally no reason not to just run CV Kaga instead
and if you want a solo barrage BB/BC just run Washy or Hood.
Okay, thanks 
100mm or 127mm for Z46? 
I would use 100mm on the z series, except for z1 that has trash barrage and is probably better off with 120 or twin 127
Actually, it's new season and it's time for fresh memes so I will try z1 and z46 with Jintsuu and Zeppelin for the hell of it
It can't possibly be bad, it has Jintsuu and high torps
Also, Baga with Amagi and Akagi is competent, just tad more rng than running a carrier because barrage is low chance and bb guns tend to have accuracy issues. You can probably run it and get away with it as long as you accept that running into more than one cv, which is not uncommon, probably will make you reset a bunch due to IJN signature terrible AA
just use a comp where u don't need her
Use Sandy instead, they're basically the same boats
Also, lvl 100 with maxed skills at Stranger is incomprehensible to me. How much time did it take to rise this boat you still have no interest in using?
using jesus in pve is a waste of oil tho
Shes great in w10. Why run ar ship just to keep your backline healed if you can clear couple of nodes with Juneau, sink her and finish the clear without her with a discount
for 9 oil i can use laffey and make my clear faster and need less heal
Because playing on manual is for people with time that I don't have and sustaining backline pressure on auto before danger level was pretty damn hard so you needed either AR or a huge heal and out of the two, Juneau is not only more useful, it's also cheaper, especially after she sank
Obviously shes easier to apply in pvp and sinking your ships in pve is for nerds, but turns out I am a nerd
Danger level kind of makes things boring cuz creative shit like this can just be replaced by running a full fleet until the game lets you play 2:1 again
I find it hard to find boats to give blue skill books to, so I'm not in the least bit surprised about a boat at stranger with two blue skills maxed
I don't get it mostly because academy is the true progression barrier and using a slot for a blue book just because you have them seems rather inefficient, especially for a boat you aren't using
Nep is already out there
why would you put WS in mid?
its ws kai
This comp actually
So much better than nagaka

Lul just killed a ykkz with wsk skill

i'm setting up my amakaga frontline (finally dropped akagi)
is it still preferable a turtle frontline (like belfap, eldridge + juenau)
or torp meme can be better? (jintsuu kai, ayanami, aurora)
or a mix of those?
torp is when you want to RNG nuking front
EN has no good turtle options yet might as well torp meme for the time being
understand that turtling becomes superior eventually
but for now it's a case of "nothing better to use"
like you could try Portkai Befast and Junny
i think some people said it works okay
Hmmm makes sense. I thought eldridge was like godlike for tutle squad. But from what i've read, amakaga and aurora breaks her. Maybe RNG nuking front can yield good results indeed. But i definitely could try that turtle comp you said. But i feel like topr meme can be at least faster to clear
is it better to wait until 10 pvp uses and stay at 5 or use 5 now 
sandy server isnt that great so im thinking it might be easier to stay at the back ish
the amount of people near the top isnt that much sadly 
id never drop below like rank 500 even going up to 10 pvp attempts
Sandy is not a real server because its ALMOST easier to farm points when you are a game down
not enough people play

avrora jealous i could top 10 every season without fail 
only 2 or 3 people from sandy manage to get 2200 on the rush reset
its that bad
people just dont go for it
im only doing it to get it on my profile once then ill go back to afk doing it
players that farm dont have to because they will get it later by just playing down to 5/10 before reset, everyone else just maybe doesnt care?
sandy probably needs a server merger
I dont think it's that bad, we still have easily like 20k players or so, not enough care about pvp tho. I probably wouldnt either if I was just a casual boat collector because top ranks are just all sweaty nerds with akagas. It's probably not much fun unless you have ships put together specifically to deal with this trash
well yeah i use amakagi as well 
gotta beat them at their own game
i am a collector which is why im trying to get the pvp top 10 badge too as a collection
I'm special
tfw you picked Sandy server cause "lul Sandy numba wan" memes
I ended up on Sandy because I had no clue what I was doing. As far as I knew, this was indeed a phone game and it had Kaga in it
yeah i just clicked play
people told me server didnt matter
so i just went to sandy
wait do you lose battles if you attack during reset lol
i only have 4 battles and i have only attacked once lol
restart the game
ah thnx
because the game just sets your attempts to 5/10 on reset, no matter what, and it syncs with the server on restart
rate my trash pvp fleet thank
Should look to replace Sara, since her launch is slow, arty fire misses a lot and frontline buff has no impact, and Laffey, since DD gun damage will never be as relevant in pvp as it is in pve. Otherwise it's okay, shouldnt be too hard to farm merits with this
yeah i should replace sara but somehow everytime she hits enty right after lucky e (underleveled equip ftw)
what should i replace Laffey with (i'm hq lvl 56 so i have barely anything leveled)
You can go full meme, get Helena and just RNG your way to win. Cleve is a stable choice that will not hamper your pve ability
Portland Kai s the same story, strong pve, fits this team a lil bit
Cleveland
is at lvl 1 rn
rip
man how long will it take EN to realise that belfast is actually a terrible ship in pve

who uses belfast in pve
do have lvl 70 Helena with lvl 9 skill is she worth using in pvp rn
I am pretty sure its just her huge tits
cursed
o.o
lvl 70 is dice-y She will take a lot more damage due to lvl differences and her stats are low
I mean she is okay not like you need to min-max on pve
Yeah good efficiency and higher than normal cl torp stats
people use her because they like her
last time I used belfast was in my hms boss fleet for 10-4 because I was stacking smokes for easy auto, but I mostly just use Leaner/Edinburgh because both of those are cheaper and better at different things
well since they didn't fail us yet on making SR kai useable in their respective filed
just hope belfap got the same treatment
shes not getting a kai
it won't be anytime soon
dk if they going to gear her toward pvp or pve tho
Even if she does
why would belfast get a kai before any other ssr that needs help
there are worse SRs that needs kai than her
She is alright
While you can't say same for some others
like pudding?
honestly id rather we get another ship that has her smoke
so we could have some variety against foxes
give prinz belfast smoke and damage stats? xD
Eugen is not getting a kai either, shes used and has a niche. only UR kais we got were for actual meme ships
eventually frontliner tanks become so good at their job that
belfast smoke is not needed
she's a dead ship
since when did WS a meme?
even in pvp
also with the death of akaga belfast usage even less useful
yeah
akaga + warspite is a really funny comp
and is way better than nagaka

when 1 loli ousts another
flat civil war
if you really want a snip comp use her with hms
battle of grandmas that look underage
i like seeing hms gang bang foxes
hms u dont play snipe
snipe strat is pretty awful since u waste a lot of dps
always put monarch and warspite on different targets
ah monarch
the only time you play snipe is if the enemy leaves their warspite topside
ain't DOY better for a snip comp?
since her shot increase damage taken
Monarch and Warspite already want to shoot early
and doy always wants 406 to maximize her skill
DoY not good in pvp
i don't see no problem with it?
well snip comp is for 3 v 2
so you still winning
unless your front get rekt
warspite alone pretty much ensures a 3v2
so you want to leave monarch in another lane
really?
you dont need to stack warspite and monarch
it's a waste of dps
if you leave monarch in a 2nd lane you ensure 3v1 basically

remember that most of us here play EN only
the only time u play snipe is amagi nagato warspite
Its just the thing that Divine Marksman hits so hard and then half of the Warspite/Monarch shots will go to the target to finish them off
because
it's enforced
you need nagato in midlane
but amagi isnt really a sniper
she's just global pressure
so it's still fine
okay that's a rigged screenshot
you will never do that vs a 120 enty
this enty is below 120
you will leave her with 10% hp granted
but u wont get a full deletion 
also
warspite functionally operates
well 10% + incoming gang bang = gg already
simiarly to monarch and hood
because her hit rate
on the barrage
is low enough
that it's like a 60 or 70% that both hite

Warspite has so much luck and she still cant hit shit
even with FCR it's low enough that it's like w/e
but even with 1/2 hit it's a lot of dominance in firepower
namagi and hms have issues clearning up
Akaga strike kills w/e u hit
thru suicide plane damage

still need to test EssexE and FW
but I'm not holding my breath
Why do people in pvp swap tbtsk on Aurora for a belgun?
HE is a better ammo type, Bracket fire is less of a hindrance when everything moves around constantly, fire damage is really stupid strong
tfw you have enough belgun to filed 4 fleet with spares
Juneau should use a belgun too?
Every FRONT LINE ship that can use DD guns should use DD guns
Oh right, forgot about that
granted that link is for JP but hey just use what you got
I wonder if they gave up on updating this because pvp is a clusterfuck after amagi and ws kai back to back
wow that spreadsheet is awesome!
tbh what is there to update really?
front remain unchange
back is just use whatever t0 for pvp
nowhere in this sheet there is a definition of what "t0 for pvp" would be
assuming people would come there with pirior knowledge of the meta is foolish
Mmh why do they recommend the 113mm ufo on everyone but the two CA ๐ค
Will we keep using Aurora after Sendai is obtainable?
which is why I am wondering if they are working on an update or letting things settle down
well they can just ask can they?
i mean most already know
if they don't they can just ask
i see no problem
@coral wren you use her + aurora
i cant remember, is the atlanta class the only CL class that can use DD guns?
or were there other ones
Sirius
also is air panda not in this server?
can just ask him about updating if you see no progress
unless he quit already

I have a question...... is it worth losing to high lvl players on purpose just to get the exp? Cause i earn more losing than winning against equal lvl players
only ship levels matter for exp so if you dont care about farming merits, you ought to seek out full lvl 100 fleets to beat/lose to to maximize exp gains
I dont know if I'd recommend playing this way 
lol ok i just started like 5 days ago and my ships are all weak...... trying to get stuff to max lvl b4 i limit break them
i guess il focus on the actual merits later......
its just that losing a lot is bound to leave you down in the dumps of the ladder where you will not be able to find many opponents with higher level fleets to fight for exp
so that kind of tactic burns out a little bit as the season progresses
i only figured it out today idk why all the lvl 70s are down with the lvl 30s.....
idk i found like 3 lvl 100 amagi fleets in a row...
In early game I recommend using PvP as a "free" EXP farmground since you don't have powerful enough fleet and gears to compete
season re-started today so a lot of people will be down at the bottom ranks camping for points
i c then
for a fleet would u recommend unicorn - arizona - enterprise back?
thats what im using rn
Those are all solid choices for PvE, so I'd level them, yeah
For competing in PvP, Enterprise is a notable one in that group, so you probably want to invest into her Lucky E skill a bit
yeah i have it lvl 5 rn.... the whole PvP for me is basically who can spam air fleets the fastest
Weaker fleets tend to have more carriers than battleships/battlecruisers because these are easier to obtain early on (if you don't spam heavy construction)
You'll see more BB/BC later when you rank up high enough
ok then.... i guess i have to lvl up laffey or smth like her cause javelin is completely useless in PvP sigh
Dont talk about my wife like that
sorry~~ but shes good in PvE haha
i thought we werent allowed to talk bout that in this server
i was gonna ask how to beat SP2
Javelin just requires a very specific setup that also requires a little bit of luck to pull off, because her barrage buff is really good, but also reallllly short
The boundaries are a bit blurry when it comes to discussing something applicable to both PvE and PvP, idk
You will end up getting all the starters to mlb to get Ayanami from collection, so you are already ahead
I'd rather go for highest worlds you can beat to farm EXP fast, but YMMV
currently im doing 3-3 until auto battle succeeds in killing everything easily
i guess thats my hint for moving on
In the beginning I tried to manual everything because AI was too dumb
This way I can beat higher worlds than auto
auto really is bad.... they let planes and torepedo boats get by
Yeah, I only use auto when I'm sure my fleet is strong enough to shrug those things off as a small nuisance
It wasn't until my 3rd fleet that I got serious in PvP too, until then my ships were not meta enough and my gear was trash, especially on BBs
I got my first aotn with Rodney Enterprise Unicorn with Indie Port Phoenix front, no equipment at 10 #Sandy 
I imagine it is impossible now on all servers but Wash maybe, too late for memes
much weaker flex, but Admiral with QE/Rodney/Enty/Belfast/Javelin/Leander Kai on Washy with 6 missed attempts and 4-5 losses, mostly against AkagaE or WaSD E
I still think Warspite barrage is good in pve, it just requires you to run her against specific nodes so it times correctly, or specific bosses, its effort hopes and planning
Shit like w7 for example is just hell for Warspite, everything is destroyers or light cruisers, nothing to kill even if she hits
Yorktown's retaliation skill works well for spamming more planes, actually, it's just she needs to get hit to trigger the skill
I wanted to once, but I barely have time to play on Sandy and I made my attack number a competition against Phoenix so fuck
I played when Yorktowns retaliation sent planes only when she was rescued, good times
by which I mean, that was some dumb shit
6k attacking a 1.7k and only got 30 pts. is it normal?
depends. what division were you in previously
i had 60pts
seems kinda low to me but still within possibility
this early in season the difference in points between something like r1.5k to r100 could be massive while difference between r1.5k vs r6k might not be much
and now with 90 pts instead of 60 still 6k lol
if u ask me
as long as your opponent is top 50 and u only on rank 3k
u still get 38 points
on private rank
leftmost rankings matters too
28 base + 10 bonus, not bad
that means 350 points diff
it can mean either a bonus point cap, or each next bonus point requires more point difference than the previous one
35 * 14 = 490, so if there is a hard cap, it is 500 difference, I guess
as a reasonable round number close to 490
Should I use gold quint magnetic torps or gold quad magnetic torps in pvp?
Mmh, makes sense indeed, so faster reload over little dmg boost
im actually a fan of quints now
they are more consistent in dealing dmg during initial torps
and thats all i need to win most of the time
still depends on your fleet but thats it for me
Isn't the difference 50ยฐ vs 60ยฐ spread
I feel like if the quads are gonna miss, 10% isn't gonna make a huge difference tho
I am slowly convincing myself that running rainbow quints, quints and quads is the optimal choice because the launches become staggered enough that second wave of quad torps will most likely finish off whatever is left of the frontline, then you have rainbow quints coming to do that job if the quads didnt, or they launch halfway on the way to the backline, hitting all of them, and then you have gold quints that either burst whatevrr backline ship your front is humping atm or launch on the way to the backline if you needed rainbow torps to finish the job. It SEEMS to work in practice, the launch staggering thing, I am just not QUITE sure if this is the best you can do with the torp setup
Jintsuu is a stupid ship tho and EN could really use some boats that can even contest how powerful she really is
and this setup sort of requires your slowest launch boat to not be up front because then shes just gonna eat BB fire and sink before doing anything, but that's a minor inconvenience
I was initially using same setup but i want to bully wasdE fleets so i went double quad
The problem is that one of them is Juneau, so she needs to survive long enough to the 2nd wave, but die right after to heal the backline 
Problem with quint is that when you're far top or bottom, 2/5 will surely hit nothing but quad can do torpedo drift and will hit top/bottom main fleet
Let's make it 2/5
Torpedo drift lmao
quints have best opening tho
^
my problem with quads is that i already saw too many vanguards just pass in-between the torps
quints makes it a little better with the price of longer cd but idrc about second wave when the fights are p much decided in 15 secs or so
quad only real adantage is fast 2nd wave and that is more useful against 2/3 bbs on opponent fleet
at least with amakaga
I actually saw a torp bend so much because of enemy vanguard wiggling, it went backwards
o.o
i dont think u can be hit by ur own torp
wouldnt make sense since the vanguard can have you in a line
you'd just shoot your friendly in front
lol
yeeah
just thought it would be hilarious to see your backline get rekt by your own torps with right RNG 
about timing id say 3 different timing have less chance of being scrwed up by rng or shooting on already dead ship
77 after two matches 
feels oddly common
