rip

zenith tundra
#

amagi rerun soon

proper thistle
#

Rip indeed

meager dawn
#

but when tho

proper thistle
#

I hope so. I really like nagato though so am sad I missed her

sage thistle
#

for the longest time i used Hood, Enterprise, illustrious, eldridge, belfast, and another ship i forgot

buoyant parrot
#

Don't bother with it. Will have PR2 soon

sage thistle
#

but its not very meta now

buoyant parrot
#

Just get FDG that will solve most of your problems

sage thistle
#

Nagato, Amagi, FDG

#

๐Ÿ‘€

proper thistle
#

That's 3 things I don't have lol

shell heron
#

Need IB ships to grind exp

sage thistle
#

just use Sandy

meager dawn
#

also KMS backline

sage thistle
#

:^)

proper thistle
#

Gonna be interesting to see if I can even work on fdg

zenith tundra
#

pr2 makes 0 impact in pvp forever since only dr ships are pvp viable and those take forever to even dev 20

sage thistle
#

regular sandy

#

without the retro

shell heron
#

Remember most IB mainfleet ships are event

#

But I see Bismarck

sage thistle
#

you can just use enterprise, and the fox sisters

meager dawn
#

are there even perma KMS backlines

sage thistle
#

thats still decent

proper thistle
#

Don't think there is much I can do with ib

#

Especially for pvp

meager dawn
#

yeah, they really aren't that good

blazing scroll
#

Imagine waiting for FDG when it will take another 6 months to be able to use her

meager dawn
#

6 months
1 year for me

shell heron
#

Not even kidding. Decisive bps UniSip

blazing scroll
#

That's why Georgia is the real thing

shell heron
#

But my first grind is azuma. I miss having fast amagi barrage

blazing scroll
#

Azuma is in the same boat as FDG

#

Altho she's useable a bit faster

proper thistle
#

Was JB pve only? Don't think I saw her in any comps

blazing scroll
#

Yea

#

Unless you like gambling

zenith tundra
#

by dev 25 azuma is when she really starts becoming good for pvp since she becomes a wall

proper thistle
jovial mural
#

I've heard that gascogne would be fine at low dev, is that true?

zenith tundra
#

dunno about pvp but considering that she has mgm from skill and her barrage is pretty good u can use her whenever u want it just takes a bit before her mg shoots actually hurt

jovial mural
#

Do u think at some point gasco will be played in meta pvp teams?

zenith tundra
#

i don't think she is pvp material

#

her barrage is more meant for screen clearing not burst dmg. her special aim doesn't really work in pvp. she has no synergy with any other ship

elder crane
#

And ofc without multiple fights, she doesn't get too much out of her heal+evasion skill

midnight heron
meager dawn
#

probably

zenith tundra
#

it's a small dps optimize that mostly affects sandy kita and seattle

elder crane
#

It's the hand animation thing
basically 0 effect in pvp

#

Well, not really
kita is affected since 100mm is BiS, but Sandy probably only sees a small effect

meager dawn
#

t0+
you mean t-1

elder crane
#

Seattle should be able to run her own gun now in double-gun config without losing DpS AkagiLUL

#

If they do the fix properly ofc

zenith tundra
#

which wont happen

coral wren
#

Hm, does formi need a beacon to sync better with cent?

elder crane
#

Not really

coral wren
#

jsut fuel tank with rudder?

elder crane
#

you can run beacon on either Cent or Formi and still adjust it to work

coral wren
#

Hm, actually, with cudas i guess there is no need in it. But with ryu it would be quite handy

elder crane
#

Jet fuel is almost a necessity on Cent, yeah

coral wren
#

aighty, thx

elder crane
#

I wouldn't bother with drop tanks on FC
Their whole point is that they delete vanguards
fuel tank doesn't help with deleting vanguards, and for main fleet, after first strike, vanguard is already dead so AA is not an issue

modest elbow
#

who's the flagship with this FC comp

elder crane
#

Formi does pretty well
fairly tanky and is the most disposable after you kill vanguard
If you run a BB with it, that's fine too
KGV and monarch perform better in flag slot too

frail orbit
#

Preferred KGV tbh.
Just bkoz Monarch is with QE and WaKai keks

ashen lion
plain carbon
#

the passive boosts seem small at first but do add up I guess

elder crane
#

7673 for me
mostly just a nice bonus, yeah, not really impactful
Also completely irrelevant for PvP since it doesn't apply in PvP

plain carbon
#

doesnt apply to pvp

#

aight imma head out

#

I only started to level it because I tohught it does ๐Ÿ˜„

blazing scroll
#

Wasn't it bugged out in a way that you got a bonus in pvp?

elder crane
#

that was patched days after release
and it was that your opponent got your fleet tech bonus, aka more fleet tech is bad

blazing scroll
#

But the bug was there

south ore
#

well it applies to pr2 which applies to pvp

ionic magnet
#
Their whole point is that they delete vanguards```
im p sure FC strength is on their backline pressure
and now with warkai its easier than ever
keeping enemy VGs alive actually helps your own VG to be safe from BB aux and nagato barrage 
warkai shelling and normal CV bombs + formi slow/stop can take care of VGs anyways
#

also fleet tech does affect your fleet power when you attack
your def fleet doesn't get it tho

hot creek
#

Yeah I prefer it if they don't pop Juneau before sinking a backliner.

elder crane
#

It affects fleet power but that's a bug; it doesn't actually have any in-combat effects

ionic magnet
#

yea i never tested if it actually applies in fights

#

just funny seeing different fleet powers in attack and def

elder crane
#

If you want main fleet pressure, you don't run Formi
the whole point of Formi is to kill vanguard, which means that 2nd strike doesn't get slapped by AA, and maybe even unloads munitions on main fleet
Which leads the the second point, with FC aurora, drop tank is only useful for first strike; by second, their AA ships are all dead

hoary pasture
#

is there anything that can beat a dev30 fdg?

elder crane
#

Namagi 457 warkai is generally considered the other T0 comp for offense

#

Nagato-amagi-hiryuu also still does okayish

hoary pasture
#

she hurts

elder crane
#

Really hard to kill
does lots of damage

#

more of the former though

#

damage-wise, she's not the absolute top

#

well, ofc surviving longer = more damage too

hoary pasture
#

fdg isnt top dmg at dev30?

elder crane
#

Yeah, she's mostly shelling reliant
her barrage is meh, it's decent pressure on vanguard still apparently
Warkai and Georgia have her beat on damage output for same time, but ofc FdG sticks around longer

hoary pasture
#

this is based off of calculations mostly right? or do some ppl already somehow have her at dev30?

elder crane
#

Testing

#

pre-dev30 she's not good enough to displace other ships usually

#

dev30 both DRs within 4 months ๐Ÿณ

hoary pasture
#

it's possible to get the DRs in 4 months by whaling? im assuming on the coin research?

elder crane
#

cubes is where it's at

#

this is CN though
they took like 2.5 years to do our 1 year of content, so might not have been ๐Ÿณ at all technically

hoary pasture
#

damn so people already have dev30 DRs lol.... wtf

#

so FDG is just hits pretty hard and mostly doesnt die?

elder crane
#

Yep
DpS isn't very top, but ofc living longer = more damage
and ofc she soaks damage well

ionic magnet
#
the whole point of Formi is to kill vanguard, which means that 2nd strike doesn't get slapped by AA, and maybe even unloads munitions on main fleet```
well thats not formi's whole point
its to have heavy backline pressure while still doing work on VG
going all in on VG pressure can get tricky especially with aurora
stall + cudas is just more consistent and no real weakness
hoary pasture
#

georgia and warkai outperform her in dmg u said.... i thought georgia's dmg output is pretty bad outside of manual play?

ionic magnet
#

i've put wfc at t0 with stall + cudas in mind
other variants are just inconsistent at times

elder crane
#

Why would you even run Formi over other options then WarShrug

ionic magnet
#

like what options?

elder crane
#

Say, KGV, Amagi, Monarch, or even Enty etc.

zenith tundra
#

from what i saw geoegia is heavy reliant on barrage hitting to do anything which works really well in pvp since opponents don't actually move

ionic magnet
#

none of them does backline pressure while still slowing/stopping VGs so warspite+cent can just delete them almost 100% of the time

elder crane
#

Hence

  1. the whole point being you wreck vanguard with her (compared to other options)
  2. you don't need to worry about AA much since you murder vanguard
ionic magnet
#

again, she helps in murdering backline more than VGs cos VGs will die at some point anyway

elder crane
#

Still, I don't see why you'd bother with drop tank/avgas on Formi

ionic magnet
#

and you dont want to kill VGs fast anyways if you dont want nagato to just equalize your advantage

elder crane
#

And ofc it's compared to other options
If formi didn't have her stop, I doubt we'd use her at all

ionic magnet
#

why not its free crash dmg

#

sure her slow is busted when syncing with BBs tbh

zenith tundra
#

if u use tank for "free" crash dmg u might as well use something that makes her survive longer and shoot more airstrikes instead

ionic magnet
#

im using rudder + avgas

#

for reference

#

beacon does nothing as there is still an internal cd and you want to sync her with warkai anyways

#

and gold cata is a meme

elder crane
#

either Rudder+beacon or Rudder+Kizbox for me
or even Rudder+Badge

ionic magnet
#

nah badge is for cent

#

and rudder is more than enough for her to tank warkai+amagi focus

elder crane
#

idk why syncing wsret with Formi matters
You're focusing main fleet with wsret anyways

ionic magnet
#

she still dies like 1/3 of the time but its enough to get wins consistently

#

er you still want to kill enemy VGs no?

elder crane
#

WSret shoots at main fleet though

ionic magnet
#

first shot sure

#

2nd and 3rd shots are random

elder crane
#

2nd/3rd don't even match up with formi stop

ionic magnet
#

it is

elder crane
#

plus, does mk6 on her even reliably snipe her focus target?

ionic magnet
#

im using triple 381

elder crane
#

I couldn't get that to happen without 410AP

zenith tundra
#

georgia gun might be best option once u get that

elder crane
#

ah, I suppose HFCR 381 does match up with Formi stop on 2/3 salvos

#

457 is basically slightly more dmg and much faster 410AP, so for sure

ionic magnet
#

yeah she snipes her target (hiryuu) just fine

elder crane
#

Wait, Hiryuu focus over Amagi?

ionic magnet
#

yep

zenith tundra
#

killing hiryuu 1st when vg is around is better

#

wairing for her to snipe everything once vg is dead is a suicide

elder crane
#

Killing amagi first though just ups your output a lot and greatly reduces theirs in my experience
I had more success focusing that way WarShrug

#

I suppose it's a off/def difference too
having enemy warkai focus Hiryuu is an easy win for offense

ionic magnet
#

matches aren't that long for amagi focus to make a difference imo
so i just pick the one where i can get faster matches
from my testing so far im getting just the same winrate whether i focus hiryuu or amagi

zenith tundra
#

problem is if u cannot force final counter before ur vg dies it gets much harder to win

elder crane
#

Well, Amagi dead and Nagato soon to follow tends to mean enemy output drops enough that it doesn't really matter anymore in my experience

#

But I can see the argument for the other way around

zenith tundra
#

if u can just delete amagi sure. if opponent amagi just decides to dodge everything then u might as well kill hiryuu 1st

elder crane
#

I mean, Hiryuu can do that too

#

and if she does when you focus her, you're screwed

zenith tundra
#

cv dmg is bad if they drop everything on vg most of the time

ionic magnet
#

yeah but at the same time amagi is tankier than hiryuu
meaning higher chances of just wasting your first barrage/salvos

elder crane
#

It's more "letting Namagi have free reign as you struggle to finish Hiryuu"
at least that's how it is for Hiryuu on offense, I suppose def is different

#

Or it might be a FC warkai thing, since FC doesn't work on defense at all

#

I actually don't run HSFCR
with 410AP, it puts you right at the correct timing to get cucked by rudder

#

literally hits shots right at :40, so it's better to have the gun shoot that 3s slower CleveXD

#

Can't wait til 457 so that's not an issue

zenith tundra
#

u'll wait quite a bit for it

ionic magnet
#

yeah probably a niche for wfc
triple 381 lands exactly at 20s mark lol
just thinking about rudder procs makes me sad
but so far its no big deal

elder crane
#

wait, shouldn't HSFCR 381 hit before 20s, at least first salvo?

#

cause 410AP hits literally right at 20s, and triple 381 should be faster

ionic magnet
#

i dont have hsfcr
dont make me say it

zenith tundra
ionic magnet
#

whats top100 score?

zenith tundra
elder crane
#

Hmm, probably not?
Might still give you a +1 though since it's super early season

ionic magnet
#

yea prolly a +1 or +2

elder crane
#

1414 vs your 2014 looks like just 1 match done over you

zenith tundra
#

+1 it was but i only went up to 1789 rank

elder crane
#

Early-season rank jumps are just all over the place WarShrug
I misjudged this one I suppose

ionic magnet
#

must be nice having movements on list

empty grove
zenith tundra
#

it actually is but it was like 2 people moved in like 30 min after daily reset

#

it gets much worse if u have high score in the +10 part of the season. the season when i reached 2607 i got days of +1 per reset...

#

people move at the same time so u land on people that already rushed

ionic magnet
#

2607

#

thats a normal season?

zenith tundra
#

don't worry it wasn't a good score

#

2604* sorry

ionic magnet
#

wow jp masterrace

empty grove
#

That server must have a ton of activity

ionic magnet
shy hazel
#

็ฌ‘

empty grove
vague token
#

so wait

#

are we getting the vg gun speed fixes

#

cause i see the patch notes and it "says" they're fixing the reload thing

zenith tundra
#

i think en will get it just like the plane thing

empty grove
#

We get fixes?

zenith tundra
#

u mean fixes for ships that aren't even in en

vague token
#

sandy is in en

#

=(

#

i mean 100mm is a meme

#

but still

empty grove
#

Can they fix the grammar error on belfast's oath skin?

#

No?

#

Ok

#

Been like it for 15 months now

zenith tundra
#

jp has missing side scroll bar in mission page for at least 2 months now and no fix yet

empty grove
ionic magnet
#

whats the tldr for the hand animation fix btw

#

sandy will get better?

zenith tundra
#

no one knows the actual fix yet

ionic magnet
#

oh YorkBruh

vague token
#

i mean it SAYS they're fixing it

#

but you know

#

"fixing"

#

xD

ionic magnet
#

AL fixing UniStare

empty grove
#

I'm ready

hot creek
vague token
#

what's wrong with it

hot creek
#

pretty sure its been in chinese longer than it has in english at this point.

vague token
#

oh

#

xD

#

moon runes fun time

zenith tundra
#

is there a bug report for it?

vague token
#

is that really even a bug?

#

or just lazy design

#

xD

zenith tundra
#

they put wrong asset in game. that imo is a bug

split socket
#

used to be in english

vague token
#

oh

#

ok

empty grove
#

It'll just be shoved into trello

#

The "We listen but don't actually" place

elder crane
#

Right now, the absCD used in all reload calculations is related to the hand animation thingy

#

depending on how they fix it, our absCD numbers might change
this will have effects mostly on DD gun relative DpS, but potentially can also touch some edge-cases on CL/CA guns

#

Probably nothing particularly relevant for pvP though

zenith tundra
#

i wish they would just remove hand animation all together tbh

#

and let stuff happen how it's supposed to

vague token
#

i was reading the article

#

and it hits kitakaze/sandy/seattle the most

#

aka ships with high reload, fast guns, and MGM+1

#

(although seattle has MGM+1, aux, and a fake aux)

#

(for 4 total guns lol)

zenith tundra
#

didn't count asw depth charge

elder crane
#

Yeah, 100mm Kita can't fire depth charges AkagiLUL

#

well, unless nothing to shoot at

zenith tundra
#

poor kita can't even fire her weapon properly. with autoloader and oxy u get 0.7 mg reload

#

even with absolute cds that is 1.06 and she is forced to fire at 1.2

vague token
#

=(

#

oh right seattle gets 5 guns

#

cause depth charge

#

xD

#

i cant hold all these guns

vague token
#

lol triple barrage (ws/monarch/dork)

proper thistle
zenith tundra
#

u get 5 each day after daily reset

proper thistle
#

Oof. Well I guess I can hope that I get lucky tomorrow

zenith tundra
#

wait how can't u beat a 4k main fleet comp?

vague token
#

it's probably like a high level solo

proper thistle
#

It's all lvl 120 stuff

#

And my highest is bisq who I don't use for PvP for obvious reasons

ionic magnet
coral wren
#

Nooooo my 2 attempts despite having such a start!

ionic magnet
#

i ate a -1 cos of this test kek

coral wren
#

I'm actually fuming right now. Should i stop sleeping forever and ever

ionic magnet
#

still fine if you wont go for eos ranks

coral wren
#

Uhh, tripple 383 on ws?

#

Doesn't she hit rudder proc?

ionic magnet
#

yea

#

i'll try 406 for a while but rudder is not really an issue so far

elder crane
#

For defense, tanking with Hiryuu is noticeably better imo
Often can't even get past Hiryuu before you win
Not sure how well that carries into offense though

zenith tundra
#

is that 13.9k vg legit? seems way too high

ionic magnet
#

prolly 1 oxy or smth

#

yea seems like his vg is dying faster than usual

#

@dusky venture

#

whats your gears on VG? BuckySmug

#

hmm actually might be legit cos my sheff/jun/ykkz has 13.7k

#

power of gold boilers EntyLUL

zenith tundra
#

i guess it's rainbow torp. the only i have is on kita and i reach 13.3k

elder crane
#

Sanrui does really poorly vs FC anyways

#

1.1 for aviation torps on med vs 0.8 on light

#

similar situation with bombs

vague token
#

sanrui does poorly vs anything anyway xD

#

sanrui 360 angle when

ionic magnet
#

at this point idk anymore who to test with namaryuu

vague token
#

why test that when you can try other more fun things

#

it's basically mathematically proven

#

xD

ionic magnet
#

oh i meant wfc vs namaryuus

zenith tundra
#

any reason for using the sea fury?

vague token
#

does sea fury have a skill? owo

ionic magnet
#

dont have pirate

#

gomen

vague token
#

rip

ionic magnet
elder crane
#

Basically slightly faster-loading modified F6F

vague token
#

t0 cannons lol

elder crane
#

better PvP stats than Seafang

ionic magnet
#

i just use w/e plane for timing but if i have pirate then thats better ig

elder crane
#

(more crash, more HP)

vague token
#

wiki still doesnt list those on the big table

#

reee

elder crane
#

PvP
AkagiLUL

  • Wiki people, probably
ionic magnet
vague token
#

so i guess t0 20mm cannons are like 1% stronger than t3?

elder crane
#

They're actually quite a bit stronger

vague token
#

oh, then this wiki table is wrong

elder crane
#

puts AA roughly on par with F6F

vague token
#

it has 4x t3 20mm cannon

elder crane
#

Well, depends on what "quite a bit" means

vague token
#

as .02 higher dps

#

oh wait that's bombs

elder crane
#

iirc it can get off two shots during intercept though, when T3 version can't

vague token
#

oh 3.42 to 3.67

#

7% in burst

#

13% in dps

#

so basically the difference only reaaaally matters on intercept

#

in pve

#

i doubt 7% aa burst is even a factor in pvp

ionic magnet
#

anyways ill now put wfc at t0 in tierlist
anyone who disagrees?

#

tho namaryuu is still way better in def

vague token
#

just split list to Offense/Defense

#

;)

ionic magnet
#

too much work UniSip

vague token
#

i mean defense is just 1 t0

#

offense is many t0

#

xD

#

easy

ionic magnet
#

yea lol

zenith tundra
#

is there any other def fleet that matters other then namaryuu?

elder crane
#

how well does HMS warkai do on defense anyways when not facing Hiryuu?

vague token
#

bad still, at least to me

ionic magnet
#

not sure havent found one

elder crane
#

From using various FC, it actually does pretty well from what I can tell

vague token
#

i had a monarch/ws/qe one i think all 120

coral wren
#

FC does poorly, almost non existent

elder crane
#

Like, LFC at least gets completely demolished

vague token
#

but i was using ws/amagi/formi on that fight

#

and i basically wall their damage

#

using amagi buff and formi buff

#

and they all focus fire their guns on amagi

#

who has rudder/armor

#

aka get trolled

elder crane
#

Yeah, but then how well does that team do elsewhere

vague token
elder crane
#

cause if you include tech, Hiryuu = lol at that team

vague token
#

im pretty sure id be fine with kgv/ws/amagi too

#

amagi stat difference is just too large

#

to run triple hms

#

and because warspite focuses their shots on her target

#

you just ruin their ability to damage others

#

besides rng

#

and monarch 0 luck is a well known problem

#

xD

#

maybe a fleet without monarch

#

would be better

#

i dont think qe helps either since she cant pressure her lane opponent cause of the target command from ws

#

honestly kgv being desynced from ws first barrage is probably best bet

elder crane
#

Probably, I'd take KGV over monarch tbh for full HMS main fleet

vague token
#

because this helps crush the vanguard faster

elder crane
#

idk, KGV with just normal gun imo

vague token
#

and makes it so you can spread damage with her barrage

elder crane
#

like, idk if you even care about vanguard with 3BB HMS

#

just kill their main fleet

ionic magnet
#

hmm are there any other new t0 attack comps

elder crane
#

Basically anything Warkai BuckySmug

vague token
#

i mean, counter still hurts

#

assuming you get nagato barraged and clipped by a shell

#

you will lose vg first

elder crane
#

well, winning VG fights doesn't exactly save your VG

#

if anything, secondaries means it's worse

vague token
#

no, but winning vg means FC triggers while they're alive

ionic magnet
#

i wont rate just anything with warkai as t0 tbh

elder crane
#

plus, if their VG is alive, there's no time accel

ionic magnet
#

not like i tested anthing other than fc kek

elder crane
#

which time accel is a major plus for Hiryuu

#

NamagiWS seems also very WS and also very Namagi

vague token
#

i dunno if triple hms can soak FC + strike with no vg shield

#

assuming you've been nagato barraged once

#

but dunno

ionic magnet
#

ah yea namagiWS should be another one

elder crane
#

Ehh, that's just one team

#

can't do it all with defense

vague token
#

especially if they run torp memes xD

elder crane
#

I think I have all the pieces to test WSFoxes too

#

what VG do you run with that anyways?

vague token
ionic magnet
zenith tundra
#

aurora i would guess

vague token
#

i mean aurora is a given

ionic magnet
#

ibuki aurora ykkz/jun?

zenith tundra
#

the other 2 are always yuki juneau

vague token
#

i think yuki should stay for the final counter personally but i dunno

elder crane
#

Is that team supposed to work kinda like FCwarkai, or what

vague token
#

except FAST

#

xD

#

gotta go fast

ionic magnet
#

yea prolly jun aurora ykkz then

zenith tundra
#

but less reliable because no broken centaur barrage for slow

vague token
#

just run 818 on akagi

zenith tundra
#

818 can miss all together

vague token
#

too bad dork cant fit in with triple hms

ionic magnet
#

you can if you really want

coral wren
#

Hm, i think she might fit in. Dork middle, monarch top and ws bottom

elder crane
#

She should be fine
NUKE HARDER

coral wren
#

Should be better than kgv at focusing target down

vague token
#

i mean maybe if you rig dork guns to always go first

#

kgv isnt about focus

#

it's about slapping everyone

#

and everything

#

xD

elder crane
#

Well, 50% firstload boost should be enough for slapping imo

coral wren
#

can't slap everything and everyone if your shells miss you know

#

Barrage isn't enough

vague token
#

quads have the highest chance of hitting vg

#

because they cover the most area

#

best we'll ever get

#

xD

elder crane
#

Like, idk why y'all are so focused on hitting vanguard with a 3BB HMS Warkai team

coral wren
#

Me neither

elder crane
#

there's no reason why you have to care about VG

#

in fact, you want them alive

vague token
#

i like not eating double air strike to the face

ionic magnet
#

are there quint guns irl

elder crane

Killing their VG doesn't help yours stay alive ffs

#

If anything, it's worse

vague token
#

it isnt about keeping them alive, it's about when you proc counter

elder crane
#

so?
How does killing their vanguard help absorb final counter

#

if anything, it's worse
with theirs alive, even if yours dies, you won't have time accel

vague token
#

dont dive bombs derp out when you push up?

elder crane
#

no?

vague token
#

at least they seem to on their positioning

#

for me

#

the density always seems off

#

or maybe the ghost planes dont target close or w/e

ionic magnet
#

been so long since i played 3BB
CVs are just more consistent in general so i never looked back

elder crane
#

like, part of the super annoying thing with Hiryuu counter is time accel
15 s effectively becomes 30 s
If your vanguard dies, letting their vanguard live is a positive for that

#

not like vanguard is a threat with their main fleet dead if you run 3 BB

vague token
#

i guess it's different for triple hms since the gun focus isnt derped out

#

or they arent running torp

elder crane
#

Yeah, with CVs it makes sense cause then your CV pushes damage through to main fleet

vague token
#

xD

#

i just find matches easier when i push through the enemy vg with my own

elder crane
#

But with warkai 3BB you're wasting damage on their vanguard... so you waste less damage on vanguard later? NagatoStare
Cart before the horse here

coral wren
#

I dunno, so far kgv was quite a let down for me with 3 hms bbs setup.

vague token
#

i mean, letting torp live even a bit longer irritates me

#

xD

#

shooting them sooner, means less damage both vg and main takes

#

;)

elder crane
#

Killing enemy main fleet ship also reduces damage taken :)

vague token
#

well yeah, but it depends on armor amagi or not

#

and because i assume people are drawn to memes like me

#

i assume rudder/armor amagi

#

so i must counter myself

#

;)

#

just kill everyone instead

#

then no need to worry

#

man lists mega dead

elder crane
#

Yeah, I think I got 3 people pushing total today MogamiSigh

ionic magnet
#

i already ate +0 last reset PortDoll

coral wren
#

Hm, i guess 406 is the only option for dork. Gonna test her out, too bad that with her focusing top slot is the only choice to capitalize on having her

elder crane
#

Same

#

Well, 410 might also be an option

vague token
#

triple 381 maybe for timing?

#

or 410

zenith tundra
#

hsfcr

ionic magnet
#

i liked 410 before

#

until she aims VG

vague token
#

that is solved by ws

coral wren
#

hsfcr is on monarch, but switching might be

vague token
#

monarch shouldnt bother with hsfcr imo

#

oh hey maxed sora's skills

coral wren
#

Well, it lets her 381 to avoid rudder cucking

elder crane
#

Yeah, WS mostly solves Dork's inconsistency issues
If she doesn't work, I'm pretty sure it's cause the team doesn't need the extra damage Dork brings, and prefers more survivability or something

vague token
#

my DoT team is coming together

#

like if dork had a 20% evade boost like kgv

elder crane
#

20%

vague token
#

she'd be fine for tank slot or w/e

#

as utility bot

#

kinda like formidable utility bot

ionic magnet
#

dork with ws focus actually sounds interesting
i know what to test next BuckySmug

vague token
#

i might try that out but with amagi as third

#

cause DorkHeart

#

everyone aim up

#

xD

elder crane
#

She makes sense if damage output is the issue
but most Warkai teams really don't have output issues, she already snipes+focuses pretty hard

coral wren
#

Ye, i'm gonna do it right now

ionic magnet
#

amagi or maybe qe as third ig

vague token
#

qe AkagiNo
amagi AkagiYes

#

too bad i have no bonuses so im stuck with nothing to try it on

#

wait, i do have something

Meh, no rudders it seems or armor

can anyone outlive all that focus lol

vague token
#

azuma when

more like late fall

#

there's no dev 30 azuma in late spring

#

lol

#

0 chances

#

i think even the whaliest whale wouldnt be able to do that

zenith tundra
#

if someone just has like 2k cubes why not

vague token
#

oh is it possible if you had infinite cubes?

#

xD

zenith tundra
#

4 months seems to be the whale time for dev 30

vague token
#

ah ok

ionic magnet
#

someone here has 1k+ iirc
wouldnt be surprised if he got 2k now

zenith tundra
#

i'm sitting on 450 for 2 weeks now because i started doing more cube researches

vague token
#

maybe i should swap to juneau/sheffield/ykk with this team

#

i think that would be more amusing

coral wren
#

meh, very little dmg from crescendo. First salvo is okay but quite random

elder crane
#

nice and comfy 560 for me
Probably ~600 with mail cubes too

coral wren
#

doy's first skill does something similar to old ws or even lesser

vague token
#

it uses a normal ammo quad

#

that slows

#

so

#

much lesser

zenith tundra
#

i still feel bad for wasting cubes on research but it only took 80 cubes for current event and pr3 is not that far away

#

just thinking about more dr to max in different seasons seems impossible

noble gyro
#

Tbtsk or proto triple 152mm for bisko's aux gun?

zenith tundra
#

i would say nepgun

#

2x2 doesn't really help bismark hit stuff at that range

#

it just feels like tbtsk is much worse

coral wren
#

cya what's your score rn?

#

number of attempts?

#

cause i'm sitting with 8/10 with around that number

shy hazel
#

pr3 should be feb or march

nothing left considering i need around 140 bps for azuma and around 200 for fdg

i highly doubt any pr will be a flag

there is no reason for a ship that never exited in the 1st place to have flagship skill

unless they just stop caring

from what i can tell, the mg fixes seems to be good. i tested with my kita and the barrage points seems to change when equipped with autoloaders. it goes from 2:12->2:16 4 sec faster barrage with 2 autoloaders

#

i read that but at least kita is no longer capped it seems

vague token

so how about seattle though xD

zenith tundra

around 5sec difference after 3 barrages with double autoloader

vague token

owo

zenith tundra

did they change seattle gun too?

zenith tundra

are there any breadgun changes? poor sandy seems unchanged

double autoloader or not her 2nd gun barrage happens at the same exact time...

actually sandy with mle seems to be kind of fucked lol.
double autoloader

i wonder why people don't use actual fleets on defense at all levels

can any cv without double fighter slot even get below 20s Thinkpitz

I think 20-21 seconds just to counter Warspite retrofit

blazing scroll
#

If you don't count the foxes then I don't think so

midnight heron

then u hav to use subpar planes probably

#

messerchmitt BuckySmug

yea u definitely hav to use messer with beacon to even reach 20-21s

coral wren

Skyrocket GWchadMEGATHINK

midnight heron

tho if u hav 200 aff enty then u might be able to get a 21s just with beacon alone with bis planes

stoic skiff

@midnight heron Just 100 affinity

midnight heron
#

then theres no way other than using some trash planes

stoic skiff
#

I could use a Skyrocket, it is the best compromise

midnight heron

for my calculations i used vf17, helldiver, barracuda

well it wud work

vf17 is the fighter from fallen wings?

proper thistle
#

Am a bit confused. So I'm around 700 but my matchups are 1400 right now isn't it bad to attack someone lower than you

#

Also yikes

charred sable
#

@proper thistle your left most target should be higher rank than you. If not, use a refresh

proper thistle
#

It wasn't
Thanks for the tip

charred sable
#

Did you previously use up all your attacks before reset?

#

Usually that's how you end up higher rank than your left most target

proper thistle
#

Yea I did

#

Am I not supposed to

charred sable
#

Yup, that explains it

#

Usually people save a few attacks to avoid scenarios like this

proper thistle
#

Ah

charred sable
#

But that's only if you really care and are trying to achieve Admiral of the Fleet at the end of the season

proper thistle
#

I don't think I can seriously compete yet anyway so it's more or less irrelevant to me

#

Still working on a viable comp

charred sable
#

Attacking someone lower than you will only really make you lose 1-2 points anyway

#

If you are not trying to be competitive, I would argue peace of mind is worth more than 1-2 points

proper thistle
#

When people use Jun I assume that's with pearls tears

#

Right?

charred sable
#

Usually yes

#

She is the sacrificial lamb lol

proper thistle
#

Poor lass

elder crane
#

No, Pearl is elsewhere if someone else can afford a slot for it
Makes for much smoother healing

#

stacking both Pearl+Juneau will mean your heal will often go off too late or too early (in different matches with the same team too)

proper thistle
#

That makes sense too

shell heron
#

If your fill ship can use pearl better than boiler, i use it

#

But Im using juneau/nep/ykk so junie is the best ship to use it on

proper thistle
#

I think my Frontline will be Jun/Bel/Yuki in whatever order is correct

#

Or maybe using Aurora in there

shell heron
#

When I was using bel, she had the pearl. Her job isn't to survive

#

Aurora gets the pearl for sure

proper thistle
#

It's all tentative rn since they are below lvl 90 so not even usuable by a stretch

#

But working in getting them up. Just got Yuki recently so she's gonna take a minute

#

I don't have centaur yet so I think I'm gonna keep spamming special build whenever I can

#

Waiting for event reruns for the op sr s

#

That I don't own

#

For now I'm relying on Akagi and hood which is a weird comp I guess

shell heron
#

Its old meta

#

Really old meta before good event ships came out

proper thistle
#

Well good to hear it's not completely off base

#

Just outdated

#

This is what was suggested to me some time earlier

ionic magnet
#

dont waste too much cubes
waiting for wishing well is better imo
rolling for something with no rate up is PortDoll

proper thistle
#

Yea I think I'll just try daily and hope

#

Which is an oof

#

Basically never really did much for PvP

#

Aside from fox spam

ionic magnet
#

yea it takes time

#

just focus on maxing 1 comp first

shell heron
#

Nothing wrong with fox spam. It works against most casual comps

proper thistle
#

Yea it's been surprisingly ok

#

Of the above two suggestions which would you say sounds more viable

#

Since it will take me a while

#

Aurora Bel I have both at lvl 90 mlb

#

Yuki is smol at like lvl 30-40 or so

#

Jun is like lvl 70s

ionic magnet
#

depends on your backline

#

which one are you aiming for again

proper thistle
#

Hood enty kgv
Or Hood enty hiryuu

#

I guess

#

Were the two suggested

ionic magnet
#

no i mean thats just the comp you could use rn

#

you want cent right?

proper thistle
#

I wouldn't mind yea

#

Quick look at what I have that I think is tiered

#

Tiered being used loosely

#

Roon and monarch both dev 20 or lower

ionic magnet
#

wait pls tell me you have warspite sword

proper thistle
#

No I came back day after event

#

I was away for 4 months

ionic magnet
proper thistle
#

Perfect timing I know

#

I want to commit toaster

ionic magnet
#

kgv monarch cent should work best then

proper thistle
#

Monarch at like 13 though

#

Is she even worth

#

Gonna take me time to get those bps

#

Like 200+ to get her to 25

#

Which is a few months

#

I think

ionic magnet
#

for now you can use foxes with hood

#

yea focus on monarch bps

proper thistle
#

Oks I'll do that

ionic magnet
#

shes p much a better hood

proper thistle
#

My current team

#

Bit uh

#

Yea

ionic magnet
#

also just level jun+ykkz
as for 3rd vg, belfast should be a safer pick than aurora especially when you're underlevelled/undergeared
you want them both anyways if you want to try out different comps

proper thistle
#

I see

#

Tbh idk what Bel even does. Don't think I ever sortied with her

ionic magnet
#

:MutsukiStare-1:

proper thistle
#

Is there a better vg I could piece together currently from what I have

ionic magnet
#

mostly for smokescreen

proper thistle
#

Or just the level disparity is too high

ionic magnet
#

and decent stats

proper thistle
#

Basically my idea was put some hp between my main fleet and their dps

#

And my only option is my pve ships

ionic magnet
#

well if you dont mind taking losses
you can still use underlevelled botes for free exp

proper thistle
#

I suppose that's true

#

So Jun Yuki and Bel theoretically

#

And I'd give Bel tears ?

ionic magnet
#

yep

proper thistle
#

Which I'm still like one star away from. Waiting on 18k exp bounty to finish for Arizona to lvl up

#

Would anyone care to share their gear for Jun/Yuki/Bel?

ionic magnet
#

yea that too

proper thistle
#

What order btw for that Frontline I mentioned

#

B/j/y?

ionic magnet
#

jun uses boiler/toolbox + bulge
bel uses boiler/bulge + pearl
ykkz uses boiler + fire ex

#

jun bel ykkz if they are all maxed

#

if jun is underlevelled just hide her behind bel first

finite valve
#

if you are relatively new i wouldn't care too much about pvp tbh

#

since meta atm are too strong for newbie to even move past 1k

#

your best bet is to get ships to 120

proper thistle
finite valve
#

after that comes gearing them up

proper thistle
#

I guess idk how rushing or whatever works or the concept behind it

finite valve
#

is early ss

proper thistle
#

But I'm sitting at like 500

finite valve
#

late ss is where the fun at

proper thistle
#

Ah

#

Also is defense fleet a meme or not
Because idk anymore

#

Can someone enlighten me

finite valve
#

early ss ppl just let you have ez win to get those bonus point

#

late ss is where they put up their meta

proper thistle
#

So defense is meme early season

finite valve
proper thistle
#

Makes sense I guess

ionic magnet
#

defense fleets dont affect your score
most it can do is to stall/annoy ppl and well i guess it can wall newbies

proper thistle
#

Thanks for the help peeps

#

And yes it walls me ngl

#

The lvl 120 ships dunk on me

finite valve
#

hence why you need to get ships to 120 first

#

after that is gears

#

then pvp

proper thistle
#

My pve fleet isn't 120 let alone PvP

#

So gonna take a sec

#

But yea stuff to work on I guess

ionic magnet
proper thistle
#

Appreciate everyone taking the time

finite valve
#

also tbh i would just say fuck it with anything that is not PR 2 meta tbh

proper thistle
#

Have some stuff to work towards now

finite valve
#

PR 2 is in like what 2 weeks max

proper thistle
#

What is that meta then?
And won't it take months to get those ships viable

finite valve
#

just use your res on getting azuma and fdg

proper thistle
#

Which factions were those two

finite valve
#

fdg ws nagato amagi
azuma ykk jun

ionic magnet
#

thats not exactly newbie friendly imo

#

pr ships cost higher oils

finite valve
proper thistle
#

Don't own nagato amagi anyway

ionic magnet
#

and they are just inferior to normal meta botes on half baked dev levels

proper thistle
#

Or I'd love to use them

#

Hoping for rerun while im actually playing the game

finite valve
#

something tell me you don't even have ws kai

ionic magnet
proper thistle
#

Scrolling up would confirm yes

#

I just got back day after event

So missed it

Is there a list of good ships in pvp?

I am leveling some low level ships and I figure I could also level some ships if they are good for pvp specifically

proper thistle

There is a pinned list here

For comps, I found it helpful

neon trench
#

Ty, I always forget to look at pins

#

xd

proper thistle
elder crane
#

Might just be a bit out of date on some stuff

proper thistle

Jun, Yuki, Bel, Aurora, Hiryuu are some common ones though

elder crane

Basically newest development is just about anything decent paired with Warspite retrofit is amazing

proper thistle
#

Rerun for sword when taigaCry

neon trench
#

Damm, I don't see my fav ship, Roon anywhere on the list

proper thistle
#

She's not good for pvp

#

Pve is her niche

#

From what I hear, iron blood in general dont fare very well in PvP

neon trench
#

Interseting that yukikaze is everywhere on the list

proper thistle
#

Yuki let's you live longer so id assume that's why she's popular

#

Helps your VG stall while your main fleet pumps out dps

ionic magnet
#

her and juneau yea

#

thats why typical VG setup is almost always Jun+ykkz+ anyone decent

proper thistle
#

They are pretty frail
So grinding is iffy

still minnow
#

@neon trench pvp in this game is about just using whatever ship is most broken

#

yukikaze is extremely broken

#

therefore yukikaze is everywhere

neon trench
#

lol

ionic magnet
#

just farm for gear BPs and plates in lower maps
p sure even lv 50s can handle w6

neon trench
#

so the idea in pvp is to make your vanguard peel for your main ships

#

and the main ships will carry then..?

ionic magnet
#

yes

#

except for azuma cos shes backliner pretending to be a VG

neon trench
#

getting yukikaze is going to be such a pain

ionic magnet
#

but yea VGs are there for support and tanking

at least she is in perma build

also by tank we mean dodge

Well, Yukikaze is the only one that with a FE mounted survives long enough for FE fire reduction to matter
For the rest, before you get to the point where FE's reduction matters, they've sunk

vague token
#

well it does reduce chance of fire i think

#

but it isnt worth dropping a boiler

proper thistle
#

Forgot they were used for pvp

upper sparrow
#

why yukikaze in pvp use twin 100gold not 76mm or 120mm? the blue one got better RoF for her barrage right?

still minnow
