because of the focused assault?
Washington's barrage is timed
So it doesn't matter as much
Rather use the 406 and deal more dmg
I use pearl on Bel
I rather have the vg last longer so no oxy for me
I am wondering if I should use the 155 or 127 on Amagi
I am considering the 127 because it seems like more value
do i use purple 533mm mag or gold 610mm on juneau, only got 2 533mm gold mag and they're taken
Maybe we could use it vs namagiryuu
If you look at dmg formulas the 25 AA seems to be of more value
Because a lot of dmg calculations depend on enemy AA
hfcr and sg radar has same fleet power right?
yeah

then maxed amakaga should be 13426
really funny
when u do that one round so u can refresh leftmost
then u meet leftmost again in leftmost


@balmy torrent
I don't see a huge problem with his vid?
What exactly would you want to disprove?
(Though "only 2 exta shots" when you only did 13 to begin with is not exactly insignificant
)

autoloaders are nerfed
comparing to the base version on CN
they are only good on frontlines now
- does not depend who you math it out on really, CAs get the largest bonus for vanguard since lower reload but %-wise not big diff
- He does not say Autoloader is good in PvP

Yes, and he clarifies he's referring to Nagato buff
And then goes on to say +Hit is better for aux equip
It's better to equip +Hit for offense focus
but I'm not sure about mathematically
what if u miss that volley

just control ur rng

I only ever considered autoloader to work on Hood, because the entire backline could profit from it
For vanguard CA sees the largest % effect, more reload to begin with would mean even smaller % effect
It's enough to illustrate the point on that anyways. The % effect is similarly small on all Vanguard ships
His point is correct, that Autoloaders are only ever useful for reload adjustment
Hey guys, what do you think is the best possible vanguard for Nagato+Akaga?
(considering current EN ships)
Regardless of what I have
just look at the tierlist 
Everything goes as long as it's on EN
nani
i think @real notch wants to put it out already
Otherwise, Yuki/Jintsuu/Aya
atleast the comp tierlist
I don't get why Sendai exists without complementing Aurora
She has 5% extra debuff and gets the IJN buff, but flares feel completely unreliable
You mean the torp buff part?
anyways ill add jint-aurora-juneau there
ive never used jun since forever

only on wasda
wasde era
she just works much better on bbs
id argue foxes needs that heal more than anyone else
than cvs
Why is it mandatory on 120?
Flares are reliable in 1 case:
When facing Belfast
Almost always near perfectly overlaps smoke, so effectively gain max benefit
Cause if they leave smoke, even better for you!
amakaga era i never bother with jun
bel works better for me
well ny jun is 110 anyways

Don't you stick pearls on someone else than Juneau in case of overheal?
not oathed though
I always found running Juneau with foxes rather strange cuz she rarely dies since you wipe the VG so fast
Another option is Sirius if you have her tanking
Similar situation, not terrible at tanking herself, mostly disposable after applying her skill
to wipe mirrors
Also less squishy and more AA
But lower damage potential
juneau is more of a safety net when torp rng is bad
i tried suicide VGs too but i sticked to jint aurora jun cos i found it the most consistent
even more if you're facing someone with a juneau himself
NamagiH also destroys, as offense, Nakaga and WaSDA
I still see ppl who dislike using junny cause SHip aBuSe
Won pretty consistently with Nakaga
Still, isn't it what matters?
People attacking your defense team will win almost all the time
Hmm, didn't someone earlier suggest Nakaga doesn't super consistently win vs maxed NamagiH?
Or was that Amkaga
is it the one in pins
Or is that the same one
yea same
It has Nakaga vs NamagiH
And it's about 2/3-3/4 win it seems
And ofc the opposite matchup of NamagiH off vs Nakaga def is an easy win
Lv 120 alone will make enough difference
Though interestingly, NamagiH off might do not much better than Nakaga off vs NamagiH right now, which is kinda hilarious
I'll need to test again after my tweaks to the team (drop 127 for 155, try out both TBs on Hiryuu), and ideally find both a Ryuusei Hiryuu and a Barra Hiryuu to test against
Ehh, hard to make any conclusions on exact winrate, low sample sizes and all
These sorts of binomial dists are notorious for taking huge sample sizes
10 matches gives a SD of estimated winrate of at least 10% for the values we think they will be at
And if we want to decrease SD by a factor of X we need X^2 times more matches
Enough for now to make a observation that Nakaga off is not consistent win ofc
Honestly I'm not even going to bother testing NamagiH offense vs any sort of Akaga def unless I ever have to reset when normal climbing
So far it's all been EZ roflstomps, even vs what I think are good teams (names I recognize)
True, I just want to point out that small observed differences between diff setups are mostly random noise
So conclusions on those, unless there's a huge difference, are reliant on subjective analysis
looong discussion
well I don't know about that... The only time you can shit talk stuff here is if you have proper data... Lots of people here makes experiment and not just by a few fights... Some people here even go to the extent of using the experimented line up for weeks
@balmy torrent I want that match... Good experimental specimen
Honestly Nakaga isn't as strong as people hyped it to be. I was expecting instant vanguard wipes all the time and that doesn't happen. It especially doesn't with Belfast around. If double foxes fail to kill the vanguard on the first strike then I don't see much merit in using them.
The sirius does it at most but problem starts when you meet backline
put on defense some weird top shit anything will do as long its full oathed
and Lv 110
Nagato + Amagi + whatever for third is way better than Nagato + Akagi + Kaga. Tried running both a bunch.
Should you encounter me on your LineUp I can always put any Meta request you want for testing... After all I have them all max Lv110 and fully oathed with 200 Affection

oh yeah that 5.7 EQ
People are slow at raising their Nagato's
I think nakaga will boom later when they have both skills at 10
Then namagiryuu when they meet enough ppl that's hardwalling them
its him again
Hiryuu is honestly no threat on defense.
He swapped back
LOL!!!
But bottom amagi this time
do u want me to test if any better?
That;s currently how my nagato is geared well except for the Aux Gun
I use beaver and sg on Nagato and sg + high fire on Amagi
I rather Amagi shoot first with her reliable barrage. She can immediately wipe out vanguards
I know. There's still a good chance she'll hit them. If not, the back across from her is going to lose a lot of HP
DonaldTrump wall is obsolete 
Wasd is no match against IJN now
well there are times that this lineup is really bonkers like BB Kaga and Nagato did not skill... its auto lose against any line up ๐

as long BB Kaga and Nagato skill is triggering its a win
Running Akagi, Nagato and Amagi. MVP is almost always either Amagi or Akagi. Both are always close in damage. Nagato only ever takes mvp if she procs sakura multiple times
just don't let the enemy Nagato proc its skill 2x or else it might become your defeat ๐
Gonna replace BB Kaga with Monarch for Maximum Barrage Montage 

i've been spamming namagi hyuuga. it fun to see the dmg amagi and nagato can do
hyuuga can actualy mvp if the others dont proc consistently
as per difference hard to say because haven't played hiryuu in a while
she doesnt die any faster then nagato or amagi and shes bot
her hp is not that much but at least heavy saves her from salvos
Hyuuga has pretty good AA and like 2 k health on Hiryuu
is your Hyuuga Oathed?
no
okay
using full ded vg

Manual control time?
yea
I am looking for it
why wont they accept me
:C
I requested like a month ago
Cause most locals doesn't visit discord/reddit and usually opens FB
nice
finally I can get some action in washington
14 more points till 200 aff on hiryuu
time to farm
I'm actually reading comments and panda really is pushing the Juneau mid lmao
I love reading Aripandas
guide
most of my ship choices are follopwing his guide
tho for some reason on his guide. he wants to put jun on top or bot
Heh
jesus can only be top since bot just mean her heal going to be useless vs nukes comp since she die right before planes hit back line
mid jesus = heal too late
top is the only option left
she is doing fine in mid tho
avoid dying too early
and then dies after 2nd wave of torps
or so
Mid actually works for this comp because Hiryuu is the squishiest but her "dying" is okay and everyone else is mountain of HP protected by Amagi
so your belfast eats shit and then Jesus tanks until she sinks
jesus can be placed in any position. you adjust her gears instead to correct the timings
funny thing is most hiryuu comp i fight against jesus manage to live till both nagato and amagi die
LMFAO
that was what happen when i fight against you lol
nagato die on 1 air strike
jesus live till both amagi and nagato die
win on 1 tries
i don't do data gathering so no 10 tries
maybe shes too tanky with oath 
sirius jesus ykk
Yeah, that won't really dent the vg so main fleet will eat more dmg
ipad fell on keyboard lul
sadly i am not stupid
just mostly jesus and ykk position
since 3 slot is just flex
You can't really hard wall ppl who cares in positioning tbh
since when does def ever matter in pvp lel?
See that post
maybe it matters when u have subpar gear or ships

shouldnt matter to someone with equal good gear
imo def is just a means to wall noob
kinda yea
Or stall the top 2
hardcore and vet pvper ain't going to care
if you want to be hardcore then wait till tech point + manual pvp
since tech point is going to be the deciding factor
manual pvp
spoiler, tech points are not working in pvp
oh rip then lel
the only thing that matters for pvp in PR2 is how swole the ships are
and equipment I suppose
truth be told manual pvp is just a joke if you done it on mirror sea pvp
just pull your VG back so the enemies eat BB shell
LMFAO
lets get both, make people freak out
jesus christ
I would just skip pr1
But roon
Roon skipping pr1 lel
hey fuck you mate she my waifu

waifu > pvp
Roon is waifu sure but she is not as useful as a ship
I am still getting Monarch and Nep because someone has to convince this chat that HMS is fucking busted
I want FDG
not until WS kai and bunnies kai come around
She is so pretty
I swear I am gonna rename all my ships to Friedrich der Grosse
Why are KMS ships all so pretty
<.<
cus they touch your inner weeb that's why
xD
if we get PR 2 before a rerun ppl going to riot
I was laughing so hard for the guys asking how to beat Namaryuu ๐
though at the same time I feel bad for him
just visit here
will help him/her
I want them to release bth pr waves at the same time
and realease ws kai
and also, why would they pull back the release date if they were not planning t do that? What the fuck can be unstable about pr 1 that was on the server for months
and sandy kai at same time
and w13
along with w12
and they go fk it lets put iris in too
just buy expand tools to increase hours per day to 48 np
1 week in between 
size don matter for software, homie
my pigeon can only carry 100mb at a time
just take a look at how much bug per update and you know
i am ain't going to put my hope up that they ain't going to fuck up a bigger patch
I mean if they gonna fk up per patch isnt it better to put everything in at once and have all the bugs at once
okay but them fucking it up doesnt mean they cant do it
holy shit.. can the engliosh community fb group accept me.
its been like 2 hour
did I write wrong somewhere
they are like 10 ppl
oh wait whats the time in asia
ahh its like 2am there
probly sleeping xD
they all have weeb pfp. so I auto assume they are from asia
:l

Just start your own FB community page, since people have difficulty beating your fleet ๐
๐
don't wanna affiliate my self to any group... this peasants I like discord 
goood good let them be... more food for us here 
cant wait for someone to suggest Illustrious as a counter

fkk I am missing out so much stuff on fb :c
I want shells
is black shell better?
ohh
white have
acc
whole 15
White shells please
@blazing scroll I found you, it's a frickin miracle in Sandy
no wonder that's a weak ass vanguard 
on offense? naisu
It's hard to test my own defense 
ngl my NamagiH is 5-0 against ur fleet so far tho, but that's probably just cuz my vanguard's geared
Yeah I am still lacking some lvls and aff
And I noticed I had bel in there without aux 
Tested against a near-max NamagiHyuuga with NamagiHiryuu a few days ago
Went 4/5, with 3 clear victories and 1 narrow defeat
Main fleet just lost trades
Hard to say, probably?
Hyuuga buff probably helped somewhat too
There ended up being just too large of a HP deficit for Hiryuu to make up for
I think Amagi doing very little dmg to opposite ship in barrage is when Vanguard intercepts the straight shots (half of the BB shots in barrage) and the arcing ones get poor RNG and miss
Not sure on if arcing shots sometimes target anything other than opposite ship if she's alive, will be watching that closely for a while
I think I might have vids on it, will check (for the earlier matchup)
from my experience tho, Amagi's arcing shot tends to target the opponents flagship
It at least sometimes targets opposite ship when Amagi isn't flag, I think
Never really looked that closely, never noticed anything weird either though
Aside from sometimes really low barrage damage on opposite ship
I did testing as soon as I had the barrage maxed, being off t the side sometimes targets VG with the plunging projectiles
mine being on the top slot, 75% of my games' mvp now goes to her due to her arc shots hitting either opp's flag or their vanguards
that are majority f Amagi's damage with the barrage
plunging are 2/5 or so, 2/5 more from straight, and 1/5 between the DD spray and Torps iirc
well, at least now we know that we are getting loli Zepp soon
Eyy finally a proper full KMS fleet
"proper" in that no non-KMS 
why tf do I not have access to my own video 
I wonder what her skills are
Ugh, Chome bug
It'd be sick if she also gave a faction wide buff 
FdG's line when sortieing with Tirpitz is kinda funny
still need a USS loli so that is possible
Ok, was facing "sky asunder"

Lol an amazingly low barrage game
Let me count
Of 8 potential activations of barrages for both Nagato and Amagi that game across both teams,
Amagi activated 4 times total, Nagato 0
I just got outtraded (poor positioning though, had Amagi opposite Hyuuga, should've had her opposite Amagi)
Yeah, Amagi targets flagship instead of opposite sometimes
Good to know
That explains why she sometimes does nothing to opposite ship
Arcing shots target flag, straight get eaten by Vanguard, and no hits on opposite
Oh, it's different from what I remembered
1 loss then 7 facerolls
loss with bad positioning too
Guy's running a torpVG though, and missing a few levels on Nagato and Hyuuga
Oh nice, Zeppy, I like it
Short and snappy
Might as well post results of the other vid from that day
def: Deadrel SoDak/Wash/Amagi/Jun/Ykkz/Bel (14140/13505)
off: Nagato/Hiryuu/Amagi/Bel/Jun/Ykkz (13256/12853)
(155 on Nag, 127 on Amagi, Ryuuseis)
(wait a sec, is that a oxytorp setup? O.o)
Win, solidly, just outtraded
Win, overwhelming, outtraded
Win, overwhelming, outtraded
Win, overwhelming, outtraded
Win, overwhelming, outtraded
Won vanguard fight every match
Don't forget to do your attacks 
Yo I have a Namagi E in my queue
And Nagato's not flag
What is this monstrosity 

Found a Namaryuu
Sadly it's underleveled
It's not yours xD
I must say that the melee artillery of hyuuga can do crazy dmg
I cant find a real fleet, I just blew all my refreshes

Yeah, it's what I do
If there's a good def when I don't want to yet do matches I test
I peep @analog hare in my list

@elder crane ah ive tested against deadrel before
And yea that looks like 2x oxytorp
No wonder I won Vanguard fight every time 
how can i coax the game to give me more gold SGs
ah i dont have enough general plates anyway
dang
but i'd still like some extra gold SGs i guess
SGs drop from any box, you can get BPs from farming Lulu so its neat
also, there is A CHANCE that we will get shells in a week
lulu?
cuz other servers got theirs with current event
Honolulu
wait
isn't 10-2 that super SUUUUUUUUUUUUPER annoying boss fight
with that line of ships
oh
I do 10 fight straight at 12:00 reset
wait a few hours if you found me in your list
I may move
10-4 was annoying
i needed lusty to be able to auto the boss fight
and still get S
who pves manually
jesus
aint nobody got time for that
w 110 and danger level now it's pretty easy
yeah, without danger it would require manual i guess
100 no danger level was inconsistent auto
you'd rather level illustrious than turn off auto for half a second so the aimed wave of torps doesnt hit you he he he
yes
because i didn't grind jintsuu for a second
i spent tens of thousands of oil on that node
Took me somewhere around 25
I manualed it, before danger level released
also yeah with level 110 w10 grind is easy
I grinded and got her before danger level, around 270 oil per run, all I had to do is keep en eye on the bossfight on my other screen so the 2 ship vg doesnt run into the torps
not sure if you even need lusty now
yeah but that means constant paying attention
how much do the shells cost
and does that mean i should save my core data?
800 each
you can get 1 each of the white and black per shop reset
you don't need to save, if you don't buy anything else from shop
proto 203 is not all that important anyways
PR is close, better to wait for those guns now imo
I got one of those really early on, so got some good use out of it 1st (plus PR wasn't scheduled then)
I like my proto but I am not sure if it does much of anything over Mounted
finally got Nagato and Juneau to 200
dont believe Zacks lies
Monarch dosnt realyl fit in with the IJN fleets right
So would SAint Louis be a better pick
or Neptune?
Whats
sanrui
oh ok
yeah I wanna get her too.
hmm whats neptune good at
why is she in CNs pvp meta
right now
oh
I thought of something
and without asking anyone, I have done it
so if you are curious, go to our little pvp tier list, click on the name for HMS fleet with Warspite and tell me how you like it
sorta wish I could tag all people that are working on it currently without reking this chat
Seems good to me?
Yeah, just thougt would make it a to-the-point loudout for lazy people
obviously for the more popular fleets you guys would need to agree what is best to recommend to people, but none of you know shit about HMS so I figured I would pitch the idea like that
Yo is sendai not in the shiplist?
....How was that missed 
Hey why is Sendai's background blue 
She retros to purple
ok thanks neko
ping me when you finish your fights @analog hare
hey req, pls voice your opinion, since you started with this
@solid phoenix @balmy torrent thanks for the reset data, i've updated the doc
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BuOeLLjXKP-OGhXlN8V5yT7_19tgmvzHKwSU7y2O_KM/edit
sure
what's the discussion about right now
Erm, help on Sendai synergy please
How to summarize better?
there's 3 types: Torps, Foxes, Fast-Firing BBs
Should I list 3, or maybe pick 1? Which one?
I have embeded a link into the nickname of one of the HMS comps, it leads to this https://i.imgur.com/FuMR8Wt.jpg cuz I thought that making a really to the point visual guide for comps could be cool for people that dont want to dig through the entire guide looking for shit
TLDR sendai synergizes very consistently (80-90% accuracy) with fox strike, consistently with Nagato (70-80%) provided she procs, and not consistently with Amagi (40-50%) provided you time her barrage
and i've done this test extensively, considering i maxed sendai in like 4 days from release
Hms neptune is in cn meta due to the eHP she can potentialy get
sendai is an exclusively nakaga VG
and yea i agree @modern tree
i can help with that
junueau/aurora/sendai was the only VG I had decent results with when using nakaga against namagi. everything else got rekt.
if people agree with my namaryuu i can link my build to the namaryuu list
It's just a pitch. I can take care of HMS because there is about ONE comp that works for that. I imagine more popular comps will require a debate to settle what is best to recommend straight up for those
but now that my nagato skills are max maybe ill try other stuff again.
yep exactly
so that's why it might be dicey to just link 1 screenshot
besides, we have gear recommendations in the Equipment tab
have you taken a look at the HMS gearing in that tab yet?
Yeah, I have been modyfying it and adding ships
are you gonna add Ark and Vicctorious
hmm
i just noticed
the AA option for all ships are twin 113mm 
wtf
you know what, on that let me give a recommendation
we should follow aristya's guide on this one,
and give people a variety of options for BiS AA gear
since AA is a team effort and not individual-based
@zenith tundra what do you think
It makes more sense to have AA as a separate page imo
And go into detail on how to set up fleet AA there
yeah, but then you are adding another tab to dig through and this shit is already starting to look intimidating as fuck
Cause some ships use different AA in different setups
tfw i am aristya fangirling
yea, i think in-depth AA discussion can go on for paragraphs
for the purpose of an effective guide, we should limit the detail
Well, for an easy rule of thumb, 2 sentences:
half/half bofors/113 and 113 on higher AA ships
For a general-purp setup, sure looks fine
I'd personally rec 100 mm on ykkz in general though
but yea as a general rule, twin 113mm on high AA ships
bofors on low AA ships
but then you take into consideration efficiency %, reload
Reload stat not actually a big deal for where you place AA guns of a particular setup
It's super minimal
and overall AA range, RoF
we have to explain that you need around 30 range
and 1.4-1.5 RoF
group AA
to shoot twice
More
im really bad at aa but wouldnt include for now gubs bot in the game
also that shooting twice is more important than having a high AA dmg denominator
since the dmg formula RNG rolls the dmg anyways
from what ? like 5% --> 100%?
huge variance in dmg anyways
is 127mm better than belgun?
But optimizing AA gun placement for best reload time has such a minimal effect that you're better off doing damage
for Backline?
cool. I will switch to 127mm then
highest RoF in the game and 130% AA efficiency
it's like 2% difference at best iirc, more like 1% usually
Yep, it's only ~5% but reload optimization gives even less than that
Laffey is the only exception but that's Laffey
here we go again
you have to optimize your AA for 3 ships alive
assuming VG is dead

it gets complicated
and yea i thought about it, having more twin 113mms on the backline probably makes a stronger alpha shot
since you can't be expected to fire twice
when the AA circle is halved for backline ships
And 113 gives best coverage
that makes the job easy for wasd fleets since they have such high AA
both in preventing planes flying around AA and flying past AA
but nagamon and amagi have like
abysmal AA
150-200
not sure if worth to slap twin 113mms on their peashooters
you know what
i am ok with an AA tab but
that's because i like discussing AA minmaxing
What are they doing on sandy, I am already at rank 75
Honestly, 2 sentences, then a link to the AA page, which we place at end
not sure if it will actually be useful or if others would give a shit lol
Normally I would be at 200~150
Yeah, this season more slippage than usual it feels like
It is University Exam season, I suppose?
I am having fun with Hyuuga 
isnt aa min-max a fleet thing? u would need a section for it because ships can be used in multiple setups
I missed my 4 matches somewhat due to that
I use bofor on belfast, nagato and amagi. 113 on yukikaze and aurora
Yeah, that's the problem
yup, we were talking about it early u can scroll up
I got exams too, that's why I missed 3 attacks
i think in our chat just now we kinda covered pretty much all AA basics
e.g. Jint/Sendai is often highest AA in Nakaga/Amkaga but lowest AA in WaSD
if someone can compile everything we said it could turn into the new AA page
or we can just leave it to blue

blue big AA smart
If we want a casual summary:
Half of your ships should run Bofors, half should run 113, tied slot run whatever.
If want to further optimize a bit, 113 on higher AA ships, Bofors on lower.
I'll first check what I remember about optimizing setup placement for reload (aka "effect so small not worth it")
yea agreed
tbh i'd like to help too but i can't imagine how to organize it into an easy to read format... AKA my contribution would just be a big wall of text
maybe i can just add that into FAQ
do you wanna do that instead? add AA summary into FAQ @elder crane
Yeah, for example, let us take following scenario
One ship has 150 reload stat, one has 250 reload stat, which is huge, for the range of reload amongst ships in a PvP team.
You run a 113 and a Bofors.
What's the % difference in reload time for the two possible combinations?
Turns out, it's 1.65%
Yeah.... minimal 
Sure, into FAQ section? I'll take a look.
I'll start with writing a short blurb about AA in FAQ, I need to go do other stuff afterwards for a while
ok
just some topics to go over for your convenience...
aa team effort not individual
half bofor / half twin 113mm, other AA guns are not optimal
high AA ships --> twin 113mm, low AA ships --> bofors
efficiency %, reload stat and the role they play
overall RoF, range (1.4-1.5, 30)
AA consideration for when VG is dead
and maybe recommend an AA calculator? i know dunk has one that is available
Feel free to work on answering it simultaneously
I gtg soon-ish, will come back in a H or two after leaving, probably
Okay, have an outline up
Gtg, feel free to fill in whatever pts you're comfortable with doing, or adding stuff
And also to move to separate page etc. if we think that's best
is this any good? seems very low
ok 
uhh that backline just looks not 200 aff
maxed namaryuu is 13401 with badge
that VG looks like 0 oxytorp VG
which is perfectly viable
right, okay, time to make HMS t0
shit
killed him on the second game
man
won both but I will never fucking see a fleet like this again
I was buffering the plane damage and I missed a barrage
oh well, at least I know that just shooting Amagi works
will probably lose every game where Nagato wipes my VG with barrage tho
nagato doesnt usually wipe vg because she misses quite a bit. even more without 2 hit aux
I mean, yeah, but I sort of need my VG to live or I just lose to Hiryuu
cuz HMS brand shit AA
and shooting Amagi means I will trigger Hiryuu late
WOHO
but I cant afford sinking Hood damage into the rabbit
I finally got approved into communist azur lane group
o.O
maybe I should just shoot Nagato
but this is also why Monarch Hood will probably break this lineup, I will be able to shit on Amagi with Monarch that will just get more powerful from taning her barrages, and Hood will be able to shoot whoever
why are ppl in FB comments saying amagi should use 406
in nagamryuu
I feel most of them are braindmged
oh boy full ijn vg
the comments are quite harsh. alot of name calling
yikes
wot
its in the
english community
group
on fb
I can ss some
bad comments about what?
it wont ever apply tbh
amagi barrage can hit everywhere
why even need to run shells when u can just use her barrage and stack evasion?
im gonna to use 1 white on amagi for extra fp
Stacking Shells gives more damage output, to the tune of more %dmg than SG radar gives %eHP, relative
And SG radar gives more %dmg than %eHP you lose with PR rudder
with 2 white shells i doubt it
Lost eHP% with shells is about even with %dmg gained on vanguard (possibly more eHP loss) but does pretty significantly more vs main
At least if I remember my calculations properly
dont worry im gonna stack evasion when everyone goes shells and see if thay can even hit
I did the calc yesterday and 1 white shell > 1 SG radar in expected damage if currently running 2SG or SG+HFCR, slightly vs van and very much so vs main if I did it correctly
Yeah, the trade-off gives diminishing returns, 2 shells on average loses damage vs Vanguard and about is even for damage on main with 1 shell and 1 +Hit
With the eHP loss, it's not worth
It's because Hit stat is more valuable the less you have of it, and the more Eva your target has
Also, formulae for the AA section in guide.
Thoughts on how to handle that?
i have bo clue tbh
Oh and for Actual gun range vs displayed, from Doublemint's and in turn from JP:
Relevant for BB/BC secondaries mainly
sounds about right
cos it always felt like belgun has longer range than 127
why are those displayed ranges ingame wrong in the first place
for fun i guess. so people can spend time figuring out the true range
managed to get 3 +1

season must be real slow if getting more than a single +1 is difficult
well either due to event or just more lurker
Almost missed 5 matches
Oh, and a disclaimer as well:
Those values are the targeting range
Guns also have a separate projectile range
Which is really fing silly
Also fought Oyashiro's WasdE
2 minutes wherein his mainfleet died in the first minute but got heavy stalled by his Eldridge

You can see it if you keep in corner of torpedo daily, some vanguard ships will keep shooting at the torpedo ships but never hit them, since the projectile fizzles out first
@coral wren oh you got in
Yeah i didn't mention most of the harsh comments
And the bad recommendations

yo dawg I heard you like hidden stats
so I put hidden stats on top of your hidden stats
so you can guess values as you guess values
sound like carrier planes to me lel
Even AA guns has internal cooldown on top of the reload speed
we don't talk about AA here

normal AA guns are much better than plane AA guns
plane AA guns are fully 
Nobody understands their formulas
loli enterprise or
loli mikasa
when? 
Loli Ark 
we're getting a mascotte for each faction
Maybe next year we'll have kid's day like GFL had

oh my fucking god. I almost lost a charge by three seconds
also i almost lost that fucking match too
if it wasn't for nagato reload buff barely making my planes go faster
what are u using?
nakaga
โฟ
is ur nagato maxed?
Wait seriously 
yes. maxed in every way possible
If it loses vs Amkaga that's a disgrace
๐ซ for nakaga
Time to adjust our tierings? 
what vg were u using?
junuea/aurora/sendai
Amagi 10% EVARATE buff can be like between 10%-20% more tankiness 
My Nagato isn't 110 yet so I can't test it. But that 70% barrage proc on Amagi is so nice compared to the 40%
It's more like ~15% at best
Larger buff on CV tankiness, %-wise (since higher base Eva), but CVs less tanky to begin with
that last match came down to my foxes at like 5% health each vs enemy foxes same health, nagato sunk
some people put evasion gear on their main fleet 
looks like a fox mirror already
so it can be 20%+
You mean total between both eva equip and amagi buff
.... that's not how it works
it looks weird yes
but it's because it's evasion rate, not evasion
it's additive to their existing evation
going from 30% eva rate to, say, 40% is only a 17% eHP buff
Not 20%
And you'd be hard pressed to get that much Eva rate on a BB vs other BBs
Do you mean vs CV bombs/torps (and not suicide, which bypasses Eva)?
Vanguard Hit is also too high to get that sort of Eva rate on a BB
And that's 16.6% more eHP with Rudder and Badge
Which is pretty much what I quoted
with no Rudder, it's 15.3%
the numbers get wilder the less hit/luck the enemy has
I wish HIT and LUCK were visible
1555 9/10 
Huh, doing AA analysis more carefully is correcting some of my misanalyses
Opinions on using Sirius with Akagato for PvP until Jintsuu can be acquired and trained?
She's also not a ship I have.
yes sirius is good with foxes just add aurora/sendai as 2nd ship and then ykkz/jun/bel as 3rd and youre good to go

only aurora is good with sirius
depends if he has an extra ijn
I was thinking Yuki and Aya since they'll work best with Jintsuu when I get her. Plus I don't have Aurora.
rip do you have sendai atleast ?
Sendai can't be acquired until after Jintsuu can.


Maybe Sirius Yuki Juneau?
Sirus Yuki Aya might just be your best option though and rely on that torpRNG
Oh, Nakaga, not Amkaga
@hazy rain which item is Imp Rudder?
PR equipment, not in EN yet
hmm, which to put beaver badge on - Hiryuu, Nagato or Amagi
I vote Hiryuu
Gets the best-% eHP for damage trade, shores up the lowest eHP ship
Or Nagato, cause her dmg is somewhat inconsistent and she takes the most heat as flag
mine's on nagato cuz coupled with her luck, she can dodge quite well with that extra evasion
what is the best aux for Nagato for pvp? autoloader or FCR or something else?
Rainbow torpedo.
autoloader very bad
I'd run SG/Beaver + HSFCR
autoloader bad for pvp or pvp and pve? i use autoloader a lot in pve
ok serious answer
pve mobs have no luck and very bad accuracy
autoloader can be good on low worlds
what's HSFCR?
the gold FCR
on PvP tho, ships have high luck and accuracy
oh i give that to hood
Additional Notes: Like the regular Fire Control Radar, the image is of an American Mark 8 Fire Control Radar, but this one additionally shows it mounted on a Mark 38 Director.
personally I try to stick as many gold SG radars on my BB/BC as possible
But, the math for auto loaders come out to be that you might not even get a 3rd shot out with autoloaders. Especially if it ends fast
wait so what are good aux for BB in higher world? i've been using autoloader on pretty much everyone
gold SG things
and?
because higher world mobs have bigger evasion so the math favours hit
purple fire control radar until we get the shell aux

the other thing that gives hit and firepower
yeah purple fire control radar
I heard of them being used to control timings for ships like Duke of York, but they're pretty bad in general
I mean, my farm consists mostly of event maps so I use autoloaders most of the time 
also I've read that autoloaders are not that bad on gun CAs, and that Roon actually makes good use of them if you want to go full-damage Roon
when it comes to defense fleet vanguards, how high are torp-specialist rated here? i mean, they have an advantage in that if their torpedoes miss my vanguard, my backline is so near anyway the torpedoes can just hit them instead. that's two layers of rng i have to overcome.
I like torp memes and imo they are the ones most likely to force a reset against the best-geared meta teams
(very hard to compete against 20% damage buff, but the RNG ceiling can sometimes shine imo)
once 120 hits they wont spike the big hp of saint louis and backlines
cause torp scales slower per level than hp/evade
i use torp memes because i love it when ayanami hits hard with double type 93
but it can force resets at 110
once 120 and dev 30 saint louis shows up
you can drop torp memes
my ayaya has 5k power which none of my ship has ever reach
Aya is fun but I don't use her in PvP. She's more of a big stat number to scare people
when you do pvp offense, you can just resetting until aya hits a jackpot
usually the higher the fleet power for vg the worse they perform especially over 13k
idk how people have over 13k in both side
13k main is oath based
for vg just slap some oxy in
for bb comps u can reach 14k
if you just want to full on commit to higher power to bluff, run gold 410 confetti gun or gold quad
my hyuuga is not oathed
WASDA was able to hit 14k
even with unoathed bb kaga
oh huh
12779 on that vanguard. What's the aux on that ykk and juneau?
that works right? putting the highest rarity gears (even when suboptimal) you can increases your total power?
If you want higher numbers yes
yukikaze using twin 100 and fe boiler. for juneau boiler bulge
actually u can have bb full gold bis
that's it. the twin 100mm
i put it for aa
I see. Still using the 76 because her efficiency and FP is just as bad as Aya's
76 is bis for her
last question for now. anybody have that chart about DD gun dps comparisons? i want to see how close the purple single 127mm to the gold twin 100mm
im testing with twin 100 for aa
the problem is that gun dmg is not good in pvp. for yukikaze all that matters is spam barrage for extra torp
if a ship has good barrage use twin 100 if not twin 127
there is a dps chart in the wiki page for dd guns
That dps chart shows that the single 127 out dps the twin 100m
i see. thanks. i just want to see between the single 127mm and the twin 100mm so i was wondering who has a chart. i'm not using either of the two in pvp.
i asked in #gameplay-help yesterday, nobody has one.
Honestly, I don't see the single 127 recommended often. It's max reload cd is about the same as the 100mm and shoots HE rounds
Is it the spread in the way it fires is undesirable?
it shoots over time
very bad against movement
3 in sequence
the 100 is both up front
much easier to hit
That's what I'm assuming. It's fire pattern is not very good
whats the order for ykkz bel juneau
i prefer juneau yukikaze belfast. some other ppl juneau belfast yukikaze
with my setup yukikaze tanks after juneau death but is safer from torp with the other belfast thanks after juneau but yukikaze can eat torp dmg
@lament lichen you're done with your attacks?
Also, big 7 clears bel junny ykkz front wtf
i still have 4 attacks
You're gonna use them on last 10 minutes?
yeah
I see
i have like 2 people on my list that could get me another +1 if they havent done their atks
naga big 7 is hella stronk 
when you relog to stalk down +1s but forget to press auto-battle again 
if Wichita wasn't there Laffey would prob have sunk xd
30 mins till reset, don't forget your attacks 
0 bonuses

imagine when i do sandbag guide and it spreads more
no one is sandbagging 
I has someone at rank 145 on my most left, refreshed, got somebody at rank 74 and attacked
Still got 10 points 
I want to believe they are super-hardcore sandbagging and that is why they haven't moved yet uwu
@odd schooner done
Aight
-40 from top score while holding my 5 charges, I think I'm good 

missed -10 but ohh well
how is this possible
what?
I do think some of the peeps who like staying at the top do save one or two charges tho
wat where
You asked for it

i love it
the
the more daunting it is to read, the less likely people will call us out on it
It's in the FAQ of the tier list
hmm, i think im gonna move beaver to sara
and then put sirius back in
to make up for the lost aviation
a bit
Heh, didn't even begin talking about AA baiting and what sort of plane distributions can be expected,
And how that affects AA effectiveness
Though I'm starting to think it is more important to optimize for reload on gun placement
I'll have to think about it and run some calcs
where do i find the faq? all i see are reset test comparisons
Wtf discord app being buggy
Search for links posted in PvP channel
I'd copy the link for you if app wasn't being buggy
Who ever made the Sirius Ship Analysis please put in your name there
against akaga fleets, is norcal outdone by amagi?
I am also fixing Border and adjusting text row under Ship Analysis
there is like, no reason to use Norcal ever. And especially not over Amagi






pls we are just barely getting PR1




wtf
