%, note, not absolute value
Same thing with PvE, right?
Yep
minimum touchdown is 30% afaik
Right, that too, 1HP-30%HP is all the same
How do you even find out about these things? Datamining?
Doublemint has done some somewhat extensive AA testing, iirc, and iirc he never mentioned anything about damage being different for more/less planes in circle
lurking discord a lot and having good memory
Right but who wrote the wiki then
Testers and dataminers
I don't know them, which is why I like to confirm info or tell you guys to be careful of the info
They rarely give references on the wiki to further evidence of the statements, as far as I can find
Most don't give methodology and/or data either if it's testing/further calculation from direct datamine results
Those that do, I usually assume are trustworthy, rest I try to find further evidence

I bet datamining is quite the time consuming task
Heh, I'm in experimental sciences, so this hypothesis-and-testing stuff is right up my valley
That's a different distinction
Applied science tries to get use out of things
Pure tries to discover/learn about things without regards to actual usefulness
Mostly
Formal sciences/experimental sciences is a distinction between, well
Easier with example, mathematics, computer science are mostly formal science
Stuff like physics/biology/etc are mostly experimental sciences
Datamining doesn't necessarily require much computer knowledge
Just tools knowledge
Also patience and time in decoding the datamined results
Especially if any obfuscation is present, and/or the stuff is not coded in a readable way
How to intercept network traffic, how to extract the decryption keys (if there are any), how to decrypt and unbundle/extract the resource files
Once you figure it out once, it's just a matter of repeating same process every time
Also, AL combat calcs are client-side

There's tons of online tutorials for how to do this kind of stuff, but yes, the learning part is time consuming
The doing part once you've figured it out just becomes routine
It's client-side with server-side logging and possible checking as well
that's why people can change data sent to servers
also the reason why I stopped EX. Reset for a day and then scripts just steal top ranks
So the datamined combat stats/formulae are direct from client
they do check game data sent to servers especially EX
point of EX is to catch these scientists
Server sided checks are expensive and costly. It's cheaper to just ban obvious abusers than to assume abuse
they at least manually check EX games if requested
If there were automated server sided checks, you would not even see cheaters on leaderboards
There's always the cost-benefit aspect of running up the server costs by being overprotective in verifying data, versus just hiring someone to manually check reports and ban people on a case by case basis
That's why most (non-competitive) games such as Azur Lane do all calculations client sided. Cause it's cheaper than doing it all server sided
What's up scumbaggers sandbaggers
day 6, no fakkyu shells yet
I am getting a lot of nothing at least my luck in Deep Dive is better
also got such a bad season start that I am probably out for good. one 33 and then nothing
I drop exercise day 1 of this season, need proper sleep
Haven't killed my sleep for this shit for months. On Sandy you just need a decent start and relogging once in a while. Competition is less than 10 people I think. You can dunk entire reset and still make top 15
Hard life in Avrora
i lose one last season
still top 9

avrora becoming less competitive
i think
shouldve been top 3/4
if din lose a chrge
its not about not being competitive its about how hard you sandbag
I have no lose and fairly sandbag my way still get thrown out of rank 10
Meanwhile on sandy just don't miss any attack and sandbag once or twice you still on top 10 ๐

Lost one by mistake just now. Oh well, seems like this will be one of those chill seasons lol
one is not that bad tho
Yeah, but have been losing my drive lately.
Maybe a chill season will help me recover lol
One where I just attack the left one 5 times in a row instead of sandbagging
mini, not anniversary and not super gamer
Trying to do test runs with nakaga vs namagiryuu is terrifying lmao
oh man, P2W PR bag
Gotta buy it everyday 
is that in jp/cn too? also that's 150$ per month every day 
Finally a good namaryuu comp to test Eldridge on
what kind of p2w is that then
Honestly the deal is pretty bad
It kinda worked. Using Namauuga with Juneau/ykk/eld and got 7W 3 L
it's random BPs, it wont even accelerate anything
Yup
buy them every day, p2w
might help saving a day or 2 over maxing all of them lol
Not worth the $50 imo
some people will buy them
yeah..
it's not even that much of a p2w and helps al getting money. i'm completely fine with it but not gonna bother
I rather spend money on skins
race to 1st maxed saint louis gonna be a thing LOL
I am ready for the race 
I'd have to do the math for other things you get, but if you are doing it only for BPs then its a waste of time and money
3k gold is 100 gems + 100 gems +6 cubes ~150 gems. so like 350 gems + pr bp and quick finishers
hey what main gun should i use on ayaya for pvp? still 76mm?
bruh she nukes em.
5$ gems is only 300
if i miss torps at beginning vs a hard team i simply just retry the fight lol. gotta get that nuke going
ayaya has a gun dependent proc and like 80% efficency, why would you ever consider anything other than 76
I am already at 5/10
Got a lot of people in my list that rushed
Got like +17 this reset
i tried going hard in pvp once and ended up placing 24th but now im just too lazy to hold until times almost up cause i just want to get it overwith
it's mostly based on time zone if u can sandbag easily or not
100 mm is also useful for the AA
But Aya really needs that skill proc chance to be maximally effective
You want the highest chance she gets skill activation before opening torpedos land
Ugh, no one on my list climbing today so far
I had a +18 and +16, that's it. Nobody wanted to move this reset
3350/5800 for kizuna beam 
i will debuff everything!
if only tennessee had literally anything else
besides a 30 second cd skill that is worse than sodak's
xD
where's my retro
Ayanami has first skill on CD at the beginning
Up to 51st, don't think I'll reach any higher with that one loss I had yesterday
oh well
Anyone used to QE buff will occasionally forget about it
Cause the obvious answer as to why Nagato is flag, if you forget, is barrage, not her buff
that nagato proc'd her barrage and it did a lot of damage to sara T_T
should i use belgun or tbtsk on aurora?
Belgun for PvP almost exclusively
Vanguards are pretty much only light armor, and you want that chance to refresh BB fires
And with the movement speed and ranges, belgun spread isn't a bad thing vs vanguards
Though tbh the difference won't be large
tbtsk has slightly higher theoretical dps but VG guns are not your real damage source anyways so the utility to refresh fires is good and also fleet power
use the tbtsk if you dont have gold belgun though
purple belgun is pretty bad right?
its not bad if you want to refresh fires
It doesn't impact fires that much to use the worse 155, but I'd say tbtsk then since you probably don't want to +10 a purple 155
aight thx
xD
yeah you can at least budget out a pve gun with tbtsk if you +10 one
pulls weight in both modes
woo juneau finally 110 lol
at long last
so like, when you transition to saint louis, who gets pearl?
should always be the one in front imo but depends on the rest of your VGs
i mean, i have a spare +10 belgun and +10 tbtsk
so it doesnt rlly matter
i mean
if you use juneau/louis/ykk
does louis take front
and thus takes pearl?

stack on juneau?
or just toss on ykk xD
prolly stack on jun 
yea thats what id do cos the other two are not much better on carrying pearl 
Loiuis has enough eva for 500 HP to matter a lot for her
theoretical louis goes beaver/pearl then until washing machine?
louis no bulge?
i mean, if you get hit by 1 torp or 2 who cares
you have a billion hp
then gun them down with your +35% he damage
plus no one can debuff her on torp opener
not sure about that. maybe pearl/bulge is better
she needs evade since it multiplies stats though
tho id still put it on jun
like at 100, +35% is only uh 14 evade
you really need evade gear for that +35% to put work in
it'd be like running houston without evade gear
what's the point in using that +100% without evade boosts from gear lol
she doesnt offer the same stuff as saint louis
especially without that bonus buff that makes her start with shield
xD
or was it barrage
i dont remember
crazy yandere vs good christian girl.
but hey if you're using zeppy why not try her xD
lmao ykkz here still alive after the entire backline died already
lol
happens everyday
this kerrBurglar and his full level 1 team lol
how many matches left xD
This season feels fucking weird
This a good team comp if you donโt have Belfast maxed? Or jintsuu
Nani?
Nagato amagi kaga fleets can go kiss ma ass
They get slapped by my babies
Ofc

Ah shit
They're all good enough to be usable
I just put numbing medicine on my younger cause I bit a large chunk out of a few days ago
Except for laffey
And I put too much and my whole mouth numb

One of these days I need to get my KagaBB up to 110 and properly outfit her and try Nagato/KagaBB/Akagi.
Akagi doesn't really fit in there role-wise
Better to just slot Amagi
That would be fantastic if I had Amagi.
Akagi's skill is activated by KagaBB though, so she'd work just as well as if I were running Nakaga as usual.
pfft, who needs synergy when we got all these gud ships coming up

just use the strongest numbers in each slot
Flex that fleet power

6 oxy vg 
wow
kiro is laughing at me

remember this
everytime i meet u i gank your saratoga
10 resets

982 5/10
curious how much behind i am
wait why would i laugh
i would never bully comps who are better than mine
which is most of us
xD
Avrora top is 1027. I've been rushing, no losses, 1018 at 0/10
ahead of rushers by only 15 pts 
983 5/10 for me


hybrid torp bombers when? i need to have both types on my hiryuu
this is better
dont challenge her to a children's card game
she got exodia

yeah but she looks cool now...
what do you guys think of the 'leaked' biscuit skills?
i didnt hear about that
sounds ridiculous af
finally a multi-faction buff
but screw the brits 
like, having 2 of those skills is busted
some of them individually are buff
but all together is like what
plus prinz EHP will be uh
stupid
she doesnt have to do anything when she has that much hp wasting gun shots and plane damage
xD
toss on double oxy
lmfao
who cares
since biscuit will die faster than prinz
the fleet buff
will proc
granting 100% speed and 10% all stats
lol
yeah just use double oxy prinz in that case
xD
there's no way this can be real though
lmao
that looks like garbage saved by double damage with 80% chance and crit
bismark + prinz = immortal?
3rd skill might be the worse imo
i mean it procs under 50%, boosting all ships speed by 100% lol
and triple self evasion
TRIPLE
speed is the opposite of good in pve
i was talking pvp xD
plus are those real crits on medium armor?
like does shell increase it?
shell multiplied by 1st skill
lots of multipliers
higher speed more chances ur vg collect all pojectiles on screen which is so bad in pve
i think her only use with that skillset is mg dmg. no guaranteed she will go to under 50% hp before other ship even die at least in en
basically most of the story bosses lol
if u can land her mg shoots she doesn't need a barrage
it's basically take sodak, remove team tank and buff up gun stats
use with a slow or something
shits fake anyways
ill be glad if she doesnt have a tirp skill because fuck that
what, torp barrage? torp barrage is dope yo
hood breathing huge sigh of relief from a distance
im pretty sure that skill set would melt medium armor
most story bosses are medium/light
lol
i wouldnt be surprise if that was her actual skill ste
I will not believe until officially announced
1st+2nd only heavy armor backlines from now on
idk i find 3rd skill to be meh even with the buff to everyone is still barelly a qe/nagato and only activates under certain situations and only for 20s
20s hp recover.... unless she has fdg hp its not game breaking
I don't know, whatever angle I look into it its just monarch in drugs.
whatever it's not like monarch is game breaking for her hp recovery...
most of the kms have huge hp though
thats so meme tbh
there's no way they'd say yeah hey only 6k base hp for a dreadnaught
that would be the ultimate troll
kms tops the HP charts in every ship tier
that heal is 20% more hp... and that's about it
u can have printz with 20k hp and 0 dmg and it doesnt matter

without dmg skill she would be 100% useless with 3rd skill alone
oh there's not many CLs for iron blood, so they arent top hp in that category
the only way to salvage this is to give us prinz retrofit 
50% redux
thats some ykkz level of bs lol
lvl 110 doesn't matter she would still be pretty useless
well some backlines just need a really good tank
and her dmg is still useless either way
i wont call that useless
i mean, like i said, just toss on two oxys
there damage fixed
;)))
oh wait CAs cant equip oxy
can they
=/
jun ykkz prinz 
they can
oh ok
more hp lmao
wonder if she'll be roon #2
probably not
she'll just hit FDG tier hp
xD
like the other two gold retros basically just made their strong points stronger
0 hms

i mean that team doesnt hurt hms in any way
still pretty much alive in jp
well see
im not convinced about buff all other factions except hms
monarch lol
it should be kms buff only
na we need a cross faction ship soon
i mean we need but not in the form of bisko
if skills are true
because stats are harder to fake 
at least she wont buff ws kai
no pls
flies out of the screen
i mean given the speed mechanics
it wouldnt be surprising for the vanguard with that much speed
to snap out of bounds
i mean, troll or not, all we can do is theorycraft anyway 
bisko can't be more OP than PR ships
technically
san diego is opier than the new pr2 ship
lol
enjoy your fgo rates gacha

1%
.7 isnt real
xD
or, only buildable in the 8 hour commission
fleet launch
xD
they'll fix it with the release
fair
apparently
lol
i wish it was known if its an event with more ships or just her
if u ask me its an event
if its a normal event then some dumb rates and gg
big event
they didnt extend belchn event
cos of her
i doubt they didnt extend it just for a mini event
or mini build
more kms ships
i should have kept oigen copies
idk i feel like having a big event after a collab event is dumb
either that or they fucked up the timing on them
prolly fked up
unless, it was part of their grand plan all along 
they dont have a say in ai event though
also all ur ships (outside of pr2) had their own event
omg... please... I'M GETTING TIRED OF EVENTS
cos it has a contract
I think we need rest
i think it's gonna be something like sandy/ws retros one
skip collabs ships ez
I skip Collab = QUIT GAME
no
with 4 skills?
wiki ur status is wiki inside joke
ofc she is ur
straight up retro kek
if she has fefault 4 skills its ur
pr2 are ur on release 
but bisko is not pr
thats not a retro tho
welp let's just wait and see 
imo al of sr ships i dead with pr2
juneau says hi 
from now more ur ships should appear
well our friend here said itll take a year to dev30 rainbow prs anyways
thats crazy if u ask me
doubt ill still be playing after that long 
imo she was delayed so long because ur rarity that would've been to much till pr2
now more ur ships are out so its fine to get her
en: oh boi our first UR will be san diego retrofit
biscuit: not so fast
en: o shit waddup
bismark with only cn/jp release should be 99% ur. en might be the only thing that brings that % down
lmfao
EN always experiencing weird shit untimely updates... Well not that I'm complaining.
ill laugh if we get ssr one while others get ur
isnt bismark rarity in the wiki data mined?
er no
its an inside joke in wiki
they stated it themselves
they removed the rainbow colors on Unreleased ships now actually
i hope shes ur tbh
tired of broken sr ships. at least u can expect an ur to be broken
what will be the construction rate?
technically
tiers mean nothing anyways either is fine
limit break material etc?
tbh i would love if they removed hms and uss from the buff
brits still have george v
Those skills look like fanfiction written by a teenager. AND THEN SHE BUFFS EVERYONE, AND ALSO MY WAIFU AND THEN
Seriously
who knows
starting UR isnt desirable. Azuma and FdG requires increased resources and EXPto level
its 4ch anyways
lmfao
lol
triggered by not buffing hms 
I couldn't care less about Bismarck
Just doing a reality check. Whoever wrote those skills is like 14 and if they are real I will laugh even harder
lets just assume it really becomes real

like we cant believe amagi is retarded when she didnt even have a real life battle
but she is anyways
well get to know when 15 comes

@modern tree did you mean the 'leaked' bismarck skills?
i hope those are her skill and she is ur
im still making mama monarch first
Because that was just the guy that regularly trolls everywhere
and those make sense outside of the everyone but hms buff ino

thats exactly what i meant
And it's clear he wrote that shit himself
He posted about it being from alg
apologies, i didnt know the true source ๐
Then only posted it on alg like, half an hour after he mentioned it on discord
And alg called bullshit on him
jebaited

Funny things are funny and I really liked "and then she buffs my waifu" aspect.
today I fought nakaga that managed to kill my VG in first strike because of Nagato barrage, and then it instantly died to Hiryuu double strike because their VG got shot up by my BB auxes. I dont know if I am happy or sad about it
prinz kai is inevitable at this point, just a question of how thicc she'll be 
just give her yukikaze's skills. she is considered a "lucky" ship too you know 
considering other kais i would assume she get tankier and that's it. at that point just run azuma instead at least she does some dmg
Why is it so hard to make crowd favourites good?
If you give her a luck ship skill, she will litearally murder you to death
Eufen being the OG SSR ship means she will just have shitload of HP for no reason and one semi unique skill, look at Hood and Enterprise
looking at Warspite, if she got retrofit she would have to be carried entirely by her new skills and I am not sure how feasible that is, considering they all adhere to a theme
and her theme is just taking punches
printz kai improved shield skill now she gets 9 shields
Unlimited Shield Worksโข
Vice defence/unsinkable lucky ship
Every damage instance is eithet 1 or procs vice defence
printz kai gonna be best ex vg for sure
just give prinz mgm+1 ez fix 
i would give printz mgm-1 tbh 
what are the chances that printz becomes azuma class on retro 
belgun or tbtsk on jintsuu?
i use tbtsk since i have belfast in my comp too
Gold belgun is better for the pvp, but if you have no spares then tbtsk is gonna feel less bad to upgrade because you can then use it in pve
It's a tossup between gold 100 and gold 127, minmaxing a gun on a ship that has no offensive stats and you want sunk is weird
100 at least boosts her strong suit
the 100 uses normal ammo btw
So I don't see why you wouldn't use the 127
Like mentioned, HE guns are king in pvp
i use all of them tbh. never 1 free to use

??? I got 4 prints across 2 servers
Keep getting that twin dd weapon
I might be farming a counterfeit sp4
what is your points alrdy
28k 17k

your rng is shit
its beyond servers
well
i just hope my rng is like this
in farming french dd gun
i need 5 at least
how many you aiming for?
Gasp how to check +1s on +12 above, i got like 13 14 15
as many as i can given the time i can play. ill whale oil if i have to
@odd schooner what are u asking?
The 35 point gap isn't followed on +12 above right
isn't it 30 gap for +1?
it takes like 25 pts or less rn iirc
i remeber a 75 giving +3
Feels like it's every 25 rn
Yeah
I was 76 away from another player, gave me 15
Mistyped

@half iron i have 1010 at 8/10 on avrora and pretty sure ppl should be way higher if they don't start with 113 1st 5 attempts

what is ur score?
I was rank 1 when I went to bed with 0/10 (I sleep long enough that I have to burn my charges)
hey its a perfect chance to test
ive been on a 3 bonuses per reset recently lolz
on how important starting rounds are
vs latter rounds points
I got 13 on my next two charges, so 999 8/10 now
well tbh im too busy in event anyways lol
idk about sandy but i never go under 5/10 on avrora
I sleep when the fast charges come in
I wake up when the last charge before it's 12h till new charges come in
i wake up and sandbag tbh. my resets are 10pm 4am and 10am
9pm, 3am, 9am 
i dont wake up at sandbag resets
either at work or sleeping
thats why im not rly hardcore in a sense

same time zone as me? i dont think u can get any worse then 4am tbh
Wrong way, i'm UK
2am 8am resets
Which i think is the reason i missed 5 battles this season already...
If you're not able to play after the 8pm reset like me some days it's really not good
3pm, 9pm, and 3am resets are pretty convenient

staying till 3am to sandbag 9pm reset and then staying past 3am to sandbag that is not very convenient with a full time job
GMT+2 sucks indeed
DoY is always good

my phx got like 
4m exp alrdy
i guess i go port
or minne
wonder if well ever get phoenix kai
I doubt it tho
no
Would be broken
too good for 9 oil
phx is alrdy broken 
just break it more

phx has never left my dorm 2nd floor
since day one
phx kai - gains hiryuu's ability
phoenix retrofit pls
lol

you can use BB/BC and obviously you would use Hood because she cheap
sounds wtf

hood chan when
I just don't like the 127 in mob fleet 
I am farming sp4 with Erebus, Hood is fine bruh
tbh u can even go with ranger at the back in sp4
what front do u have for tht
i'm also using erebus + 2 grills
and not struggle much
pretty fast clears
lol 2 girls
cuz i don't wanna wait 
You'd probably be able to get away with even Renown if you ran 2 ship VG
oh i was being a cheapskate and using only a 0LB erebus 
I have 4 monitors, 2 of them are 0lb and 2 of them are maxed

my erebus terror lv 100
dont see any reason to train em when i got plenty of bbs that need more exp lol
im trying to find info
I'd do that but I have to run sp4 like 100 more times
tfw my mob fleet costs more oil than my boss fleet 
dunno, if I was using 2 vgs and still wanted PR exp, then I'd probably run Renown Leander and some other HMS bote

thatll depend on the map
i think going for boss is better
cos chnce to drop x2
bp
plus points
for event
well ofc we gotta kill boss for them points, its just after we collect everything we need from points
good advice for using Monitors at sp4, unless you have 2 +10 AA radars on her, skip every Shokaku. She can handle everything else just fine
that the killnretreat choice becomes viable
Skk spams way too much fucking planes for a 3k health bote tho
yeah, Hood + anything tbh
what are some w13 meta CVs that we can level up right now 
i can only think of enty, unicorn, maybe lusty
Essex Centaur when you get them. two of the best
what about stoof only on en for now 
1st & 5th are pretty good
for EN its just Shoho and Enterprise
nothing else matters
unless you enjoy being a hipster
what about unicorn for her cute little fighters 
hipster 
She doesnt deal any damge, nor she bufs Enterprises cute little fucking death mashines

have to be careful with her
I mean, you can, its one less oil too, it's just nowhere near as good at 0 oil
there are these Worcester/Des Moines/Minotaur class AA ships
dive bombers get vaporised before even flying overhead
Shoho, Enterprise with a random barrage boat is something I have been subscribed to for good while now for clear fleets, it's sturdy powerful and cheap

Isuzu, highest AA damage under AA mode
dragons
oh isuzu, totally forgot about her
lvl them both
I couldn't shoot these titanium plated planes down and with Isuzu added, I can

dragons kai are super strong pve
akaga still good
Ch12 lv100 Unicorn is usable
if u already invested in them
Isuzu
enty/uni/hood/naggot+ryuus/sandy
thoughts on lusty's fighters? too little overall ground damage not worth or is her air combat decent enough to make up for it 
I dont know what game you are playing where you win fighs because you have a fighter over a dive bomber. If you dont sink enemies, you do not win. Using Uni over Shoho sounds like such a waste of time, especially if you are running another CV. You could make a case for it if you ran multiple VG ships, but will you? WILL YOU?
I tested 2 Me & 2 F4u on Illustrious many times on 12-4 boss
clear time barely differs between uni and shouhou
whichever plane you use has unnoticeable differences

i see
that is assuming your backline has two other decent damage output ships
my slutty still only 100
i may dorm her to 110 though
slutty is used mainly cos she has crazy air superiority stat

that's why i thought, out of the available stuff currently on EN, she'd be decent for w13
but besides her air superiority, guess her overall damage is still meh

you can swap Illustrious out in 12-4 at danger level 0. Illustrious was only useful in the first clears of Ch13
too easily go over time for 13-4 when using Illustrious over a damage CV
i think i'll use zeppy in w12
zeppy should be best overall solo backliner cv in the game rn
Her stats are mech but she can defen herself so it sort of balances out? They have to fix her barrage first tho
why is her barrage bugged?

Oh, finally found out the other two KizAI equip special effects
Headband turns equiped ship into a "KizAI" ship, for purposes of the CA/CV skill but not the AI chip/RWG.
RWG apparently changes main gun skin if applied to KizAI ship
According to my reading of google translated JP wiki
Oh nice, didn't notice

only the Headband is important long-term then I suppose, in terms of its special skill
and RWG being only active during event is... why?
im getting tired of all this Hai Domo shells...
I need 2 freaking Fakkyu shells for god sake
farm more
I have zero Hai Domo
a bunch of Guilty though
don't worry there is low chance u'll never get more before u finish farming event. if not blame rng

I hope I get 2 before I finish the entire exchange event
otherwise I'll be pissed off
i'm glad idc about skins because i have no planes skins
i'm at 31k and 1 mini plane out of all types
I got all caaption shells
im at 20120 right now
only need that dumb mini ai fighter
I focused 1st on Bel-chan
