after that it comes out quite frequently from box
just like after the 20th radar i grinded from 6-1, it drop in every other run
i cant aim for end season top ten this season

the blueprint was on the lowest level hard mode map of crimson echoes, so I didn't want to farm it
so yeah, this is my very first gold twin 100
if u could farm gold cuda too... maybe i would have more then 1 from when i started in august
F
only by 2 k , piss me off
Jesus, you only have 1 gold cuda?
457~10/10
i only have 1 gold cuda too 
unclear
I guess everyone has that one piece of gear that they just get totally fucked on
been using the firebrand for one of the foxes
not now
i used the firebrand but went back to ryuusei now
sendai rush soon
I have 4 or 5 bananas.
overflowing oil
if we get vdir rerun
yeah
the only bad thing to farm in vdir
i don't like using ryuusei 


ryuusei is good
i even used purple cuda before firebrand came 
rerun doesn't have her lol
I love it. Sometimes the torps spawn in such a way that they skip the vanguard and totally destroy something in the backline
so if I had two Ryuuseis, it'd be even better
i didnt know it was good so didnt grind, kinda regret
i would use 2 ryuusei for random wasda
i'm not saying it's bad, i just don't want to use it 

i got ryuusei
but vf is nice for timing so i shove it on toot toot, it works out
i seldom use

wait is that not the right plane?
<- noob player didn't know ryuusei was good so i have 0/15 bps
oh, what was i thinking
kill back first cos juneau is cancer



or just oneshoot vg
that's fine as long as the backline was already at 100% hp when the VG died
Ohhh, lol
well same color
well reppu is a fighter and ryuusei is a torp
i remember street names better
What fighters do you guys run on Akaga?
reppu vf17
vf-17 reppu
no akaga 
Cool, so I've got the same ones then
i run cranes tho, vf and reppu
ah, it's vf, so basically the same for me too
open more box 
i grind for 2 hellcats back in September
after that, i got like 5 more from boxes

id prefer gold sg anytime
after im done with event and world 11
too many seafangs
pls
This is my AyaKai for pvp. You guys have any alternate suggestions?
it s k, i love em enuff i can have em
scatter as my power boosting equipment
when shells out

i use 100mm, thats the only diff from your setup
oh

i prefer gold quad mag torp on aya
does it have faster reload or something?
if anything, i would go for the regular quad torp, but it s just my thing
I have lots of those. I'm kind of addicted to the homing now though
with jintsuu aya can shoot 2nd torp wave before demon dance in pvp with quad
i never 10ed one
idk why i keep getting hellcats
@zenith tundra I see. I'll keep that in mind when I get Jintsuu
at least all of ur royal boxes aren't seafang memes
wow
Only need a few (if any, with the two event fighters) for PvP, Seafang is the better PvE plane anyways
but i have a few seafangs too 
i used to be known as the pom pom guy tho
cus i have like
9 pompoms
lovely bunch of bananas
oh, i have 0 pompom
Like many others, 13 105s
what's your most impressive collection
7 bofors, and only 3 113s
I've had to farm all my 113s
same as rendar
kinda bothers me for how long I have been playing up to now I only have 2 Gold Baracudas
i farmed 5 tho
Literally no 113s ever from boxes
3 of all anti airs
8 105, 6 bofors, 1 113, 0 pompom
13 105s though, as everyone else who played from before KMS event has
i have 0 t4 boxes i don't like to keep them
8 105, 5 bofor, 5 113
Since it was probs ~5% or so for a 105 every gold KMS box, before More KMS equip was added
I have 4 gold quad magtorps
3 miliions ๐ค

I open all gold boxes but I look forward to IJN the most for a chance at gold twin 100. Well, up until now until I need more than 1 at a time
There's not really anything to save up boxes for anymore
i open all my purple ones like once per month/2 months
i have 900 of each purple boxes by now
Only a subpar purple shell is added
And also eventually gold oxytorp, maybe
13 quintuple 533mm torp
Same, 13
gold oxy is cn only because of unknown reasons
You can get the shitty purple white shell versions from the jp boxes
Yep, CN is why I say maybe

I BET I'M BEATING YOU GUYS ON GOLD CRANES except I hulked out and rage deleted several of them when I got one from a rainbow box
๐
Same, I just scrap my extra cranes
how many cranes
I was at 17 until I got mad and deleted most of them
i have 2 gold cranes 1 on akashi and 1 on vestal
Tatsuya has more hellcats than me 
๐
The purple aux parts are more useful anyways
agreed, but the exchange rate is garbage
Than keeping gold cranes
when i see a crane i only see plates
a few more from scrapping gold cranes ain't gonna do me any good
+10 your auxs 
I +10 'em as I need 'em
hes saving to +10 the z flag
how much z flag costs
288 to +10 a rainbow aux
to +10
I keep one set of equips for each ship
i recent spent all my stocks to keep gold sub cap
So I end up spending more
I could blow them all by +10ing a bunch of toolboxes, but I don't mind switching gear around different girls
Exceptions to that are stuff like beaver pearl STAAG ofc
even 1k is barely 7 gold equips at +10

yeah, that's why I don't wanna just +10 a bunch of things at once
1k will last awhile if I only need to +10 stuff every once in awhile
wait
isnt z flag only for mikasa
ye
yes
whens mikasa
and mikasa is trash
i need

need more use for torps
wdf
Hahaha

I have more torp than anything else also, but not quite 4k
l
How good would
Hood, Warspite, Queen
Belfast, fortune, Sheffield be for pvp?
Dork for warspite?
yes
Anything else
for hms u should go qe doy hood jesus belfast sheff/leander
Because i'll need like 4 gold bulins to get my DoY pvp ready
Worth
I mean, even in pve she's literally one of the best BBs in the game
so definitely worth the bulins

doy is amazing in pve too no loss whatsoever
anyone playing Hiryuu on en? 
daxam does
Yep, it works very well
even streamed it
hiryuu is great
she gets an average of 3 air strikes in the time the rest of the cvs get 2
that's a big damage boost
I found someone copyingy setup for def, and I can pretty confidently say it doesn't work for def
So I did a little.... Experiment. Ir worked for me specifically in that context but I think it was interesting.
I picked an enemy that was a little bit stronger than I was, and tried different comps trying to beat him. He had amakaga and belfap Eldridge and something else I don't remember.
If I used wasd + enty myself I'd get absolutely rekt. In fact, I couldn't even kill his eldridge before my Frontline died, with any Frontline comp. Even with torp meme squad.
Then I tried amakaga and switching the Frontline. I tried even swapping in stuff like mine and ayanami.
Interestingly enough, the only comp that manage to beat the enemy was Juneau jintsuu and aurora. Without aurora I couldn't possibly get through his eldridge. I found jintsuu dealt more reliable damage than ayanami. And I don't fancy rerolling the battle.
Also, another weird thing, Juneau even with worse gear, would gave me that little extra health to kill his backline. She had pearl. Even though Belfast had a lot better gear. On second thought, I didn't try using Belfast with pearl. Might give it a go.
But anyway. Yeah. The Frontline that best worked for me was Juneau aurora and jintsuu, along with amakaga.
Sorry big text
That's my choice as well for amkaga frontline
you are having problem wth eldridge?
Well, you were using Ent against Eldridge

They're natural enemies
Also try converging torp Akaga if eld is an issue
I mean akaga and aurora wins. I just didn't think it was such a huge difference
Nah centaur kill gets cucked by eld
jesus is pretty good and most consistent choice for amkaga with jintsuu aurora
With aurora I never had any issues
Maybe with homing beacon or sub par planes it doesnt
There's an argument for Bel as well
oh ok
Jesus?
Hahaha
jintsuu aurora juneau is p much the most consistent vg setup yea
Oh
interesting seeing how Jesus works on attack, but not on defense ๐ค
i didnt need to reset even once last season w sandy
, and indeed, def always get rekt
@zenith tundra @ionic magnet I don't have Jintsuu. Do you guys think Juneau AyaKai Aurora would be better than Belfast AyaKai Aurora against Amakaga fleets?
Oh, if anyone finds my team, I'd like to confirm that it doesn't work vs amkaga on def, and some feedback on what happened would be appreciated
aya offense is never good
Nah don't use aya
the torps just dont make it to the back
Aya, no
Go with Sirius or belfap
no i dont think aya is better if no jintsuu
she gets rekt by plane
Wait nvm
aya is purely for defense memes
That isn't 4 ijn
^
Well you have like 20% increased power when attacking. And enemy is closer to your side. You can't possibly lose for a similar comp
For 4th IJN probs Aya still, or maybe just drop 4th IJN
she does good against planes tho
for an ijn ship for amagi is jintsuu for now if not aya pretty much forced choice. nanoda will be an alternative if we get her
with a lot of auroras out there, aya dies too quick and without jintsuu she does er not that great dps
Well you're getting Sendai soon
@serene knot I haven't been having problems winning. I'm essentially just min maxing at this point
Or Sendai will be an option
And yes, Sendai will be replacing Aya
But yeah jint would be the option if you have her
but again, I don't have problems winning. Just looking to optimize
it's forced aya till sendai/jintsuu/nanoda
farm jintsuu now you'll have no regrets 
if I don't have Jintsuu by the time Yukikaze happens I'll probably just cut myself
I AM farming Jintsuu now




vdir rerun happened this month 1 year ago for both cn and jp
jintsuu took me 9 nights w no sleep to farm
cool, so I guess ๐ช

took me a week or so also
/still doesnt have jintsuu
got jintsu 3rd day after 15 runs
always 2 digit oils 
clearly. I still don't know how you have less points than me when you've missed 0 and I've missed 3 
don't underestimate sandbagging power 
sandbagging is good

it's ok, as a pst player i can snipe top 10 anyways
just cause i can burst 10 games when no one else is around
kek
it's ok, as a pst player nocturnal cst player I can snipe top 10 anyways
casual server
I'm on avrora though 
im on avrora lol
VERY casual
have you seen those oath fleets
disgusting
also free exp
last season was total casual level
3 days before end top 31 with 10/10 after reset and a +5 bonus 1st day
xD
hmm, ive been leveling fiji for my debuffs, and i just noticed that even with 60% aa stat
she only hits like
376 aa
before the gear is in
not even sandy level with no buff lol
avrora so casual tho
i can usually make admiral first reset , like 3 hrs in
lul
jesus, the fleet power difference between using blue 76mm on AyaKai and the gold twin 100 I just got

that's because people sandbag more then they care for aotn
i just want my damm 2k5 merits
i mean, if you dont break 6k, does it even matter? xD

or w/e it was
no i meant rank points
i forgot what the top was already
eh, 2200 is admiral
2607 is highest so far i think
oh that's what it was
i just remembered a 6 xD
man, dork takes a lot of enhance exp


lood elf ship and decent boof

barrage is done in like 3 hours though
gotta slow down that backline bruh 


i wonder if i can reset enough times so that i can win while using my level 94 dork
oh
lol
i mean, there's no way she'll live
the damage loss is big though
specially since her skills arent maxed
not running my own juneau will take a bit of reset magic
xD
i could probably just toss hood in and then win but i want the exp =(
it IS fun to kill juneau before any damage goes to the backline though
yo i did it
took a few tries lol
hiryuu with the 1 hit point wonder
Hiryuu ๐ users ๐
time to put sodak hiryuu on def fleet
glad not many are using her (on
at least)
hiryuu is great
since i dont have a way to contest torps and akaga
i just gotta cheat my way
with invuln
;)
speaking of hiryuu there was this day I almost lost coz of her invul funny
best part is when she's halfway to another barrage then 1HP cheese procs
3 barrages pog
better than fighting boring 1k fleets 
i need the 6k-10k so they're level 100 but not optimal
free exp =D
ok done with the matches
get yo points
AYYYYYYYYYYYY
SOMEONE MOVED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 207
from like 3.2k
this is gonna be a lot of points
that was beautiful
it's so rare for me to have both vanguards just smash into each other directly at the start with no up/down movement
2 of theirs immediately died but only 1 of mine died
that was +6


I want to run Akaga/Enty and I was wondering what AUX to run?
1 gold pult 1 drop tank
What's a drop tank?
Oh thanks.
how many twin 381 do you need
1
or 2
each for a fleet
you should only use 1 barrage boat per fleet
anyway
so
I am going to buy the atagun
next month
because i actually use atago

https://puu.sh/CVQH9/40fdaec39a.png we have to go back, Kate.
Just need couple of levels on Sheff and I am going back
i need a 3rd set to do some 3 CV shenanigans 
I am going to run Sirius Aurora Juneau with Akaga E, but I don't feel like swapping equipment on the train so it will have to wait a bit
no good fleets to test against this early in the season 
thats exactly what im planning to run lol
no love for Hiryuu? 
im slowly levelling her through comms but gonna take a while
I am also thinking about Skk, but it's probably worse
does anyone have a good teir list for planes to use in PvP?
hiryuu is p tanky too tbh
The Ju-87c or BTD 1 destroyer?
Pin should be pretty accurate when it comes to equipment, I updated it recently
i cant kill her after first airstrike but maybe cos my foxes are not oathed? 
And Ju87 is better if you aren't using Helldivers
okay thx
hiryuu isnt tanky, putting her mid against amagi can almost get her one shot
she just cheezes
I think Jintsuu Aurora Juneau is the best defense, probably. Dunno how you changing your fleet would help me test on Sandy tho

same
@vague token idk but i cant somehow trigger her passive after first airstrike
Passive who
hiryuu
You gotta depend on rng torp + airstrike
i usually need amagi's 2nd salvo to trigger that
unicorn has too much HP to be covererd by sheffield 
30 seconds before reset alarm lol
dw my foxes can do this
got to 5/10 2 seconds before reset yep, can agree
oh god
Rare sighting of an oathed Hiryuu on EN 
So how do I get before this guy
Wait till reset and before anyone can do their run. Do ur run. And tada u are numba wan
Not recommended. But its a temporary solution.
So im not even there anymore dropped to 48 already but the guy dropped only to 3 rank wtf
I bet on reset ill be like rank 1k or what
Do u fight ur leftmost target?
Yes when I was around 39 rank and leftmost was 50 ive reset it for rank 2 for example
sandbagging is the answer
Oh boy lel
But still... guess its cos my def is not so terrifying
def fleet has nothing to do with your ranks
Are u using the best meta defense fleet? That should scare ppl away
it doesnt matter at all
What is sandbagging
you maximize bonus points basically
timing your attacks
not just using 5 straight
you wait for one of your opponents to use their rounds first then you attack them, this way you get more bonus points
aka waiting game
Well ive noticed that if I come late after reset its rip cos I end up somwhere really far behind never able to catch up
and relogging every hour or so to check ranks
Well If you relog you get new opponent which is with higher rank thus having less points and this just increases as time goes if I dont relog I see the guy who was last auggested by game to fight and most likely the lowest rank
yes you will fall behind everyone who sandbags
you dont get new opponents until you refresh them or fight them
Dunno maybe ive not noticed it right but when game crashed and I relloged there were completly different people
How did ur game crash? Is this a new discovery for free refresh exploit poggers
it changes order from time to time depending on their scores but they are the same people
When sometimes I loose net the loading is stuck so only thing to fix it is to quit the ap trough android and restart it
Nice
Well but still its bs... if you drop too fast you can never catch up also the guy just dropped 2 ranks while I did 40
And u get different ppl with high score?
Ye..
Thats bs damn.
And basicly by beating them u get less and less points
Should report that to bug fix tbh
A crash shouldnt change ur opponants to all new ppl
wins/losses are registered as soon as the battle results are displayed.
so it probably registered your loss and gave you new opponents
did your number of charges or rounds go down?
No it dont
well, I doubt you got new opponents anyways. someone in your list probably did their pvps and swapped orders and when you had to relog it updated/refreshed
But I dunno if I get it right... the lower ranked opponent you fight the more points u get... si basicly if you drop higher ranking than others which were around your rank then basicly you can never catch up and just keep dropping higher
Cos you fight people with higher ranks and less points
you fight highest ranked opponent not the lowest
By numbers its the lowest
by highest i meant lower numerical value yea
Rank 1 is highest btw
Ye but by numbers its the lowest
also, you can never catch up cos you dont sandbag properly i guess
When I fight right in reset I go up .. ehen I sleep and come 4h afte reset I just increse the gap I can never close
yes thats the reason
you dont use all your rounds at once if you want to get higher ranks
cuz no one fights immediately after reset so ofcourse ur rank's gonna jump 

Uh
delicious
juicy
So ull fight rank 2k and get less than possible... still ull fighr rank 4 and end up in 2k rating even if you do 10 you end up where like rank 1k at best dunno
i think you got a misconception on how to rank high in pvp. cos the true high rankers are never in top 100 early season
^
should go take a look at the exercise page in wiki
its confusing af for new players cos it doesnt really make any sense
Exercises, sometimes called Operations, Mock Battles or PvP Battles, are the portion of the game where the player's fleet is pitted against a fleet constructed by another player, with the goal to accumulate Merit and progress in Rank. Note that the attacking fleet will get a...
Still makes no sence how u come back from 2.5k rating
what matters is the end season ranking not early or mid
it took me a good 6 months to understand pvp, first aotn for me was feb 2 
understandable
so while ppl are flushing all their tries down at once you should be slowly accumulating bonus pts so that you rank high at end season
thats basically sandbagging
and you accumulate bonus points by fighting ppl with a large point difference ahead of you
The whole PvP is just one ranking system btw, sandbagging means you get more bonus points, which means you can get higher points than average people who don't sandbag, by the end of the day you'll go to top
Its fucking confusing as shit... not to mention based on pure luck the last sentence of that guide
this games has a bonus score system. when u attack an opponent that has a way higher score then u u get extra score. to maximize the gains u just never want to have high score so u always keep 5 attempts all the time and attack enemies that have higher score then u
But it mentions you need to be around 1k rating
yes it heavily relies on luck but you can somehow minimize that factor through dedication aka checking ranks every 30 mins or so 
but to reach higher ranks u need bonus points
Ugh
read the page a few times and you'll get it. its hard to understand at once
Anyway u still didnt even explain how the guy could drop so low while I dropped 10times more so dunno if being top is so out of question
its just point accumulation. get as many points as possible and your rank will gradually increase as long as you win all your matches and don't fight lower ranked opponents, do this everyday and don't miss your matches. you can further maximise your point accumulation by "sandbagging"
u can just do this and try for urself:
1 never use ur attempts early unless u cannot use them before next reset
2 always keep at least 5 attempts unless ur gonna miss 2 resets in a row
3 always attack leftmost enemy
Means there are people who passed you, while they can't pass the other guy.. Or probably he still have attempts left while you used yours already. @jovial sedge

cos a bunch of people has the same scores. so you prolly moved back by a lot cos more people got same score as him while still higher than you
Its most important to not miss a reset.
someone should make a sandbagging guide 
5 runs is alot of points xD
@ionic magnet i wanted to do that but i'm not sure i want more sandbaggers in avrora

Would say that at some point u cant loosr its just yoy need to reset
basically how pvp works is that when you refresh you are matched with opponent of the same rank i.e. around the same points
when someone does his pvp he gains points and ranks higher. if he attacked someone of a similar rank he will get a base point of lets say +10. if he attacked someone who has 35 points more than him, he will get an extra point i.e. +11
so what you want to do is to wait for opponent to climb as high as possible. meaning to say he got lots more points than you (>35) then you attack him to get that sweet +11 instead of normal +10
if you do this consistently you will rank high at the end of the season
need more sandbaggers in Sandy so I can increase my maximum score. Sandy average scores are so low, one time I got rank 1 with only 2582 points at season end.
The wholr pvp would be differebt story if one couldnt reset
i would prefer if they would remove attacker bonus and defense position bonus
So only difference in points gain is that win is 10 points and someone with 35 more points means +11?
no reset but pls remove sandbagging bs at the same time
everyone same exact score?
if that's gonna happen then hundreds of players are gonna be numbah wan 
thats an example. for lower tiers like private the base points is larger than 10
fastest fleet wins xd
and while we're at it, lets put 1k gems as reward cos why not
current ranking system is only bad because is farm based not skill/good fleet based
truer words never been spoken
I don't mind the current system. It's kind of janky but in the end, it still rewards dedicated players.
i would say it makes perfect sense since this whole game is farm based too so i don't really mind it
at least u get free purins so im not complaining as well
So but still I guess I dont get it or you dont get what I write.... cos if points distribution is different depending on enemy rank once you were for exp rank. 40 where opponents were +- 40 they gave . 10points so till u reset you drop to rank 1k. Your four opponents stayed and leftmost is rank 41 now, you fight him get 10 points but now you are stuck on rank 900 with 4 opponents of ranking 900 which give only 5 points. If you dont fight trying to rank higher you end up even more lower with even less points so I seriously dont get it
Or what ur saying is just do pvp every hour one fight : /
it depends on server mostly. in a high competitive one like avrora people always sandbag so u always have a chance that ur opponents are 5/10 like u are. if ur server has a lot of inactive people staying with top rankers is a better choice because u have active people in ur list that might do their attempts at once and u can gain extra points that way
basically if you do your pvp spreadout like every hour or few hours you will see significantly better rank end season then what you are doing now by blowing all your tries at once
dont even need to sandbag
That's basically what sandbagging is 
dont even need to sandbag too hard then
like stalking opponents
I think most people do like you described, really 
stalking opponents is too hardcore and time-consuming

It's more like antistalking than stalking
Avoiding known sandbaggers
If you want to even bother with that
I think I cam understand this periodical waiting cos when I fight I get higher opponents and wait tilk they do somth or dont but what I dont get how can u get from that deep shit when u almost wait 2reset cycles and ur somewhere super far behind
U dont wait 2 reset cycles. U will lose like 10 entries. Jesus christ
Always make sure u are at 5/10 before a reset
its simple, more people did sandbag better than you
you should always use all attempts in the season
the difference is, when to use them
I have a feeling he is just waiting and waiting and then reset comes and he missed out on couple runs.
you're in deep shit now cos you blew all your tries whenever you got them. so now you need to only keep 4 tries each reset so you get 9 in the next
4-5 tries remaining
u always use 5 attempts each reset and always keep at least 5 attempts all the time
is where you should be aiming per reset
you're granted 210 attempts per season, don't deliberately lose them just because your opponents don't move, you can't gain them back
i'm at 9/10. if i were to use all my attempts at once i would gain 135pts (u gain 15 minimum score x attempt right now) and i would end up with 682 pts which is 9 pts ahead of current 1st (btw not even hard sandbagging this season)
U are in luck if u are in washington tho. U can still come back into gensui for the 2500 merits even if u lost 10 entries from oversleeping
ehh, I lost 10 and couldn't get to top 100 anymore in the last 3 days
Lul rip u xD.

Always sandbag at start of season
if i'm rank 2k or 1 makes no difference at the beginning it only matters later on for the extra merit rewards when u'll need to be specific ranting to have higher ranks
If I even sandbag at start of season, then only for the first 2 resets
"dead" opponents that don't give you bonuses, yet again
U can gather a tons of points there.
You can use your refreshes and get different opponents to sandbag
this is why u should do an early attempt at the beginning to get active people in ur list
Yeah, I always try to keep myself at 1k-2k position in the first week
this way I get one rusher per hour more or less consistently
aand I did use refreshes 6 times already
only helped like 2 times
i don't use refreshers. just leave it to rng god to give me good stuff
bless the rushers down in africaaaaa
Are there actually any decent pvp or ranking guides out there?
i never bothered searching for one. the wiki page is usually enough for me
I mean the basics is all there on wiki. dont rush. dont lose entries. dont lose
what else do u need to know
I mean, this chat is a good enough guide already 
So
yeah I was thinking about making a guide, but pretty much all the info you need is on the wiki page.
but then again its the "basics"
the only benefit of a guide would be to help explain things in a perhaps more digestable manner
I'd say "fundamentals" as you can infer more complicated strats from that
spoonfeed more
yeah honestly
... I didnt overslept tries tho ive just used em all... but that was confusing.. so 15p minimum... and isnt it like that rank 2k gives just those 15p but if yoy fight ariund rank 100 its much more
yes wiki could use some better explanation
atleast the wiki dosnt say 1. git gud
and this channels pin have some good pointers too
the .10 .11 .12 are all great tips
the amount of score u get from wins is based on rank (lieutenant commander and ur rank is based on total score). the higher the rank the less score u gain
@zenith tundra so and now how u get from that ><
wiki chart has confusing names
just look at ur score and check how much is the last column number based on ur score
So those are the points u gain
some rank names are different
ToTu's and Switch's are the same, but different from the wiki
yeah since u rushed so much u lost tons of points xd
oh lol yea its the same mb
Huh
<@&472236072743600148> can we get a pin on the chart above?
ty โค
thanks
This but getting merit wins also : /


in order to get higher merit for win u need at least 1050 score and be top 1k
as of now no one can reach that score because it's too early in the season so no reason to be 1k for extra merits
tbh its quite automatic. once u get certain score u will start to get into the range cus other ppl just cant get higher score than u with same amounit of matches and will be locked out of 1k
before that point whatever u use ur attempts early or later makes no difference in how much merit u gain
Hmm last season all I did was jump between best 400 to 1400 rank so dunno how you get locked out
actually sandbagging helps getting higher ranks with less attempts which results in more merits gain
the amount of score u have will not gonna make u last inside the top 1000 and t100 and then top 50 and then t10.
because ppl with higher score than u will keep coming in and then u will be slowly pushed out
So basicly guy is 1k rank but at last second he jumps to rank 1
well then he used all his entries
abuse that. dab on him and get sweet sweet bonus points
not really high sandbagging will keep u for going lower then 200 even late season
I ment it as end of season
even with 5/10 all the time
But I need to sleep too
Where are u from?
just check ur opponents like every hour when ur awake
if u are in EU the timezone is kinda rip.
and make sure u don't lost attempts to resets
I have to stay up till 3am to finish my last reset before daily reset
This tactic means ... thst next reset for me is around 21:00 time other is at 2-3am of tommorrow and when I wake up I should do 5 runs to wait till 9am reset
that should be enough sandbagging
oh are u UTC +1 too
Well daily reset ingsme is 9am for me
timezones makes it harder especially for eu players
just dont sleep. ez

actually, if you want to keep your sleeping schedule intact, you can blow all 10 attempts before sleep
and let cheeky ppl get bonuis points? fk no
that way you won't lose attempts even after 9am
it p much cancels out in the end cos most people has one reset in the middle of the night
i'm gtm+2 one of the resets is 4am lol
Well I cam make it tho cos during work week im up before 7am so
except for the very few who finds a way to do their runs at 3am
what are you doing ๐
i have to wait for 6am for those lol
maximizing my ingame effeciency
lucky i'm evening shift and don't start working before 3pm this week
6am for me too, but I usually don't use long comms until 1pm when they expire
cause with how I grind urgents just keep coming
Hmm so if ive run out of runs atm, at 21:00 should I do nothing and at 6am next day do 6 runs and wai till 9am for reset and have 9 runs and than slowly do 4 runs for next reset and then just keep 5 runs still
all the servers in EN are in NA timezones right?
Dont know about those time zones at all
u should have 5 attempts before 21:00 and then use another 5 before u go to sleep and then another 5 before 9am
Ye but atm I got 0
just wait 1 reset out
daily reset is like 12mn at US west coast 
don't use any unless ur opponents have high ranks/scores
wow that 1
u just want to get to 5/10 all time before reset so just wait doing nothing
But at 21:00 I assume l be 600-1k
And next day even lower
don't care about ranks
don't care about rank position, care about rank score
I dont but I di care about points cos it gets easier to progress with much more bullins gold
at least until you get 10 base points per battle
I get 2 gold bulins from merits per season
although stopped buying gold bulins cus all the useful SRS are at mlb already
Better than zero
just start sandbagging and u will see a increase in ur seasonal score
Well I still progress my fleet ... also new ships comes so fast and I want to lvl em up
and then u will get more merits cus u will reach highe rranks
getting gensui is 2500 merits 
i always try and keep 8 purins all the time
I dont even got kaga rip but got baga tho
ranks dont mean anything early in the season
Ye... lot of light has been shed into this
the real top rankers are somewhere between rank 1k-3k rn actually
Think that number 1 guy tho will rank high
no he wont lul
cos the ones you see at the top rn has 0 charges
at rank 1. he will get 13-14 points if other ppl dont pass him
He wont be picked so if someone gets him mostly likely will reset
meanwhile sandbaggers sit just right behind them while still having 5 charges
if u attack people with lower score u get less score then base
being rank 1 is literally the worse

everyone is behind u so u can't even gain base amount
you get penalties if you attack lower-ranked ppl
also defense means 0 u don't lose anything if someone attacks u
Guess I'll started making a pvp/ranking guide tommorow. If anything, it will be for fun.
I dunno, maybe try to think of the whole point system in terms of potential rank score, not actual one that you can see in leaderboards
last season (before i slept on 3 attempts last reset
) i was always at least 15+ pts above current 1st as max points potential. ofc sandbaggers had higher scores but u never get to see those ahead
you can start seeing who the real sandbaggers at some point later season when they literally cannot afford to drop out of top 100 at reset intervals
That potential rank score takes into account the attempts you have until the end of the season and rank score difference between you and your opponents
i had almost top 10 score and on avrova was dropping to around 230s ranks
The amount of attempts part is the easy one, you can only spend them over time
top 1 maybe was like around 100 tho
dont poop and that should keep u awake for a while.
Just train yourself a reflex to wake up before reset (4am in my case)
set alarms
I haven't perfected the technique just yet, so I still oversleep
lmfao
but it saved my ass quite a lot of times already
waking up at 3:50am
just enough for Amakaga to speedrun 
I find that simply getting 2 bonus rounds per reset is good enough to get u into top 10 for that last rank up merits
Btw thx for info about those rankings... ill try different approach this season...will see how it ends then ill be more writting
nah my score without extra bonuses was only 2597 all top players had over 2.6k
i had alarm set up for 03:50am but decided to sleep another 5mins because i had only 3 attempts to use and ended up waking again at 4:02am lol
i shouldve use snooze instead of closing my alarm
2 weeks of waking up in the night ruined because i wanted to sleep 5 more min 
Will I need Avi tank for Enterprise in 2 BB comp too?
The less carriers you have, the better oil tank is
So yea, if you run her solo, she wants it
Oh I see
Thought that may be the best strategy only for foxes
But seems I was wrong
against heavy aa u lose planes even with oil tank
a god at wasting attempts 4 seasons in a row 
maybe the gods are telling you something?
guys, juneau aurora and jintsuu all use tbtsk on pvp?
belgun is prefered over tbtsk in pvp
oh, for everyone? o_O
everyone
is the current pvp meta amagi 5 ijn fleet with belfast?
using ayaya in pvp
what a pleb
meta atm is 4 jp not 5
ayaya was never meant for pvp
he+ (aka belgun) dmg is better against light and medium then anything else for cl guns
lel
4 including herself
so then its amagi/akaga, sendai belfast, and who?
also what comp is strong against that, or is that just god comp atm
never use sendai over aurora
unless you use them both
but then i say over kill with 2 debuff
generally jintsuu
no sendai yet for now best vgs are jesus/belfast aurora jintsuu
