My Noshi still 110 I said
So no time
So now
Nagato stole all the dmg obviously
my vg just died right when reached backlines
Looks like a steamroll to me
Scuttlegun not Belgun mk2 eh
it wasn't actually

it was 1 min fight
Huh, that's surprising

probably naga failed 1st
Siriusly
Usually Nagato only does that well on steamrolls
0 1 1 naga
hiryuu died 1st so my vg just died faster
Or like, it's probably other way around
When Naga procs that hard, you usually steamroll
i saw hiryuu tanking like 3-4 mg shoots in invulnerability and nagato ended the fight with a barrage
Ahh, so other mains being pepega then
noshiro is op i try with lv 109 she can survive from namaryu with nanoda 
fdg on hiryuu usually final counters her faster then amagi but it ends up with shooting her more for some reason too
so more shoots end up in invulnerability
If surviving is the point then yes, am putting her too for test
But my point is to dmg, my dogma being XX slot do all the shit against fellow VGs alongside other utilities @keen sparrow
Also since it's noshirol we're talking about
imagine using a CA for vanguard dps
Am not having so much faith other than her torps

her barrage does actual dmg tho
Just stick to my reliable buki anyway
Or siri for actual double cv shit since I ran wakai formie cent

Not to say am not having her CNY skin tho just bkoz I got her anniv skin which is better for me

mind you, jp/kr also had rerun version only
@sharp wing now dont remind me of fooken RAIL mofo
only CN had OG run
WC was yostar big fuccup tho
@sharp wing edited by Manjuu to even be decent
i rarely even use hsfcr. mostly on mk6 bb for mob clearing when leveling up
But well this is #off-topic rather lel
i'll test more with belfast for belgun vs seattle gun on vg. i want to know if settle gun pattern and less fp actually makes it worse then belgun. also no torp just to be safe
WiS 
I think it's time to downtier some comps in our tierlist
Namabaka should defs go down at least to T1
As long as WFC still t0 or at least .5 it's fine
Also how is Nakaga still T1 too
ehh, whatever, I'll leave it for now I suppose
since if we downtier that, then the stuff below needs to move too
too lazy
u can say the changes i'll make them
At least til FDG advent
As for Nakaga, dunno. Haven't even used em for ages ever since Namahoe is there, and u know lah Namahoe superseded by Namaryu
WFC new Nakaga anyway

Also, idk about putting Namagi Suruga at T0.5 with those HMS teams
At least on offense, it's doing just as well as T0 stuff
i didn't want to uptier it too much and imo not as strong as wfc and namaryuu in certain situations
I think the FC teams might need to be dropped down
might wait to see how they play out with Azuma coming in though
i think wfc becomes stronger the more the meta shifts towards bb only backlines
FC is reliable torps tho so 
Yeah, vs Hiryuu teams, Namagi Suruga isn't particularly good, but isn't bad either
she's really good vs WS teams though, since she can tank focus for a good 45 s or so vs HMS WS reliably, and 1 min + vs Namagi WS, at least without 457 around
Iykwim about slowtorpmeme, it's da wae anyway
i tested suruga against ws 457 fdg focus and she could last around 40s+ consistently
Perhaps
Better make it a conditional tierlist perhaps
I'm more thinking FC will do better the more Azuma is around
Should deal with that transition better than other teams, since FC will have less issues killing azuma compared to current vanguard compared to other teams
I suppose I'll leave FC as-is for now
add in Hiryuu FC for T0.5 though, I think
Just watch #gameplay-help plebs being so fuzzy on tierlist anyway 
Hiryuu FC just opens you up to being trolled by a surviving enemy yukikaze whilst your VG is dead and you've not a single Aux to counter it.
That's why you make sure you kill their vanguard
aurora?
nod?
Vanguard-busting setup on Centaur+Hiryuu chiming in means you kill their vanguard with 1st strike like 80% of the time, usually at most leaving a crippled yukikaze
Yeah, Aurora puts it at more like 90%, I prefer Sirius though since she's less likely to evaporate
Headnod @zenith tundra
Hi blue. When will you move?
Sandyret is a troll though it's not a CV meta why are you doing this
ok wdym by on magtorp? u want to use mag on every ship if possible
@elder crane w13? Keks
Torpmemes is also an issue for Aurora teams, not one for sirius though
nep+nanoda if u would have to choose
Anyways, the worst matchup for HFC is actually imo Warkai Amagi Enty with Jun/Sandyret/Ykkz
you actually do really well vs the meta stuff
ws enty even in jp is used quite a bit
The issue is warkai+enty, that overloads your Hiryuu
or actually, maybe Warkai Enty Hiryuu, never saw that in particular though
Cause Enty is amazing vs CVs
hiryuu akaga?
I've seen enemy ykkz completely avoid airstrikes whilst getting unlucky with my own VG dying early one too many times, sometimes even one BB aux is not enough to finish her off. 3CV will always be a meme to me.
Wabbits being souhi wakai
Also sandyret just cucks your vanguard kill
you can lose then if your vanguard dies and theirs doesn't, or if that means your main gets outtraded
Wakaga wakai akaga 
Jun/Sandyret/Ykkz can sometimes even survive the 2nd strike wave, which is pepega
Heard the wr being sad
everything else though just evaporates
2nd strike then kills their main fleet
and Hiryuu holds the line if enemy hiryuu or Enty trolls you
She also has to hold the line vs WS though, which is where the issue comes in that I mentioned earlier
formi can't tank till 2nd airstrike ws?
not reliably
If ws doesn't miss...
are the 2 other 0.5 hms gonna stay there?
I don't know enough about traditional HMS to downtier it
I'd rather wait on someone who's tested that in current environment
It's probably safe to down tier those ones, seeing how FC is so much better.
feels like it should probably be T1
I used to use those comps, well the QE variant. They had similar win rates of around 70% vs the meta.
And not long ago we laughed about HMS CVs 
Now non cv hms is not top hms
How tables can turn


Just wait til FDG anyway
Where is my Shinano in Al tho 
i moved the 2 hms comps to t1
oh, just google docs bugging out for me, nvm
i repositioned them
gave me a huge white chunk, lol
@zenith tundra which one zack?
the traditional HMS comps
kmc and kqc
no1 bothered 
no one made one it seems
Also where tf is Wakai Mon Cent?
that's what I mean
None tested it?
no one bothered cause it's "known" to be good but not super duper amazing
hence idk if it should be T0 or T0.5
I tested on on first day I had wsk. Not as good as FC. It has some consistency issues.
Same
you guys should add it in
sure
I think I did WarKai Monarch Cent
Prefer KGV over Cent tho
Not using Cent mostly because I don't have Vf or a 2nd Reppuu
running double reppu no even optimal
Alas, perhaps replacing Cent with Formie? Even then not really optimal if u think about it
expose bombers
I could test Warkai Monarch Cent
no KGV or QE leveled though, lol
or Formi in there somewhere
I do have formi leveled, lol, whoops, that was pretty misleading
KGV/QE/WS Might be worth testing again. Idk if I tested that one thoroughly but QE/Monarch/WS was the one I tested the most.
Monarch is just not that great
warkai + HMS BB + Formi is a bit lolwut
what's Formi doing for that team anyways, lol
doing angry moves
You can sync with 406
I used QE/WS/Formi for awhlle too
except warkai means you can't really sync that well
mark will force most 1st salvos in each volley go for backline anyway

"potentially" is a bit pepega imo
you're not going to reliably have any volleys aimed at their vanguard
Cent long lasting slow should be more reliable for that
mk6 warkai in WFC at least does not reliably contribute any main gun shots at vanguard
yeah, cent is ok since she boosts main for whatever is shot at
though tbh her slow is too slow, since it's on-hit
at least for first reload
Yeah well that goes to say for any volley not autoaimed from ws yellow skill too so 
Back when I used QFC, QE would often nuke VG with Formi freeze
that's why I decided that Formi doesn't work well with BBs in PvP, at least for the vanguard-stop part
it's wayy too unreliable
do you guys also feel that first salvo out of a BB normally is aimed at vanguard at least much more often than not?
I guess technically its 50/50 but I always saw her sync up and aim at VG so maybe just bias
but i dunno
amagi seems to like doing that a lot
idk, feels like either Amagi or cent is just better for that than formi is
i wouldnt use that ws+hms+formi

they are
enty whyy 
like MAYBE
kgv
maybe
it's still weird
just for 4 hms
i wouldnt use it though
Besides
Anyways, I stopped using QE/WS/Formi cause get cucked by Enty REEE 
The point of Formi is just to support the stop + fokin flood
70% proc is shit 
na, formi is a flexible ship


she doesnt have to be there for za warudo
Centaur is the guardian against Enty.
you can just use the brute force
QE+Warkai+Monarch supposedly 1-salvos focus target super reliably
Eh her ZA WARUDOOO da wae for vanguard kill anyway
lumber you way across the field and crash a billion planes into the backline

it's still boosted ws barrage plus 3 bb focus
in any case, it's also a super annoying def team if you don't have a way to survive boosted WS barrage+3BB
super ez if you do though
QFC was legit before WFC came in. Although some would say KFC was better 
KFC used to be better
Since it's KFC
just like in AL
Nu KFC is da wae
McD sucks anyway
ikr

does ws monarch cent want to focus target with monarch ws or split on 2?
Ah ok
Gonna head into new season with new fleet then
monarch mid maybe?
I hear American fast food chains are legit in foreign countries. But here in America, the fast food chains all went down in quality.
dunno on that one
Monarch Spite Cent Noshi Juneau Ykkz
@hot creek am not even Murican anyway, being from Indog there
Worst chain being McD for me

Also Monarch on mid for focusing her barrage perhaps?
Just like boomer Hood times

Ye using Monarch mid so shit doesn't get overkilled
3 try 2 lose 1 win 
id rather use kgv mid over monarch
but that's just me
monarch is like sanrui for me, big bait

monarch kill ws kai 
So far doing fine
Using Juneau lead with Bulge but stuff usually gets sniped off before Juneau heal
And Pearl
Monarch indeed overrated, but probably not to the degree Sanrui was lol.
@hot creek u tested ws monarch cent. was it better to focus 1 target down or split?
Now that's derp . . .
Perhaps bottom?
my elixer not ready yet under lvl 
what can i say, my MGM+1 bias baited me to the sanrui rush
xD
but in 3 months ill have the ultimate MGM+1 gunboat so it's fine
I don't think I tested that comp much. I can't really say for sure.
tank gunboat u mean
i mean, even as tank she'll still out dps all other CAs
cause she doesnt die as fast
xD
Trying to "focus" anything with Monarch is just frustrating.

I've got her max sim'd, pretty sure it doesnt help that much either lol
Ight prolly sticking to this fleet undefinitely
Doing solid
Gonna work on Noshi and Centaur affinity
that hololive aux not bad hit + eva 
would this be a good test for ws monarch cent?
It can be
Probably, if their Juneau doesn't die too fast.
Namawakai with Sanrui
Seems fine
Since Sanrui just do nothing anyway 
i'll use belfast as 3rd
you think that's big brain, true big brain is using zflag
gotta pad that fleet power

double zflag 
does it even match with cent with hsfcr?
nope
I remember at one point I could sync Monarch and Centaur with 381 but that may have only been possible with QE's reload buff
and, like it was barely synced lol. Like barrage was already midair and Centaur launch right before they landed
qe retro pls
I'm not even trying to sync Monarch with Cent
Since her RLD skill could fuck shit up
@hot creek and for whatever reason mon cent sync anyway?
Seems that it was for killing vanguards but . . .
I prefer Monarch mid
Just to get FP buff during barrage/volley
So shit doesn't get sniped too fast and Monarch gets a little irrelevant
i just noticed nagato top in that comp lol
suddenly the urge to whale centaur
lul seems we all missed it.

rofl

i swear i see it at least 3 times every season
too bad there aren't any Centaur doujins feelsbadman
where is wishing well
but im sure you can find a look a like elf
Nagatop seriously tho
wasted 5 refreshes. i'll try this and hope for something better after
I start playing this game on wishing well last day lmao
u ass
still no d30 tho
Ye
it's a good comp just no oaths

I just realized, but Noshiro aux can be like many pairs of:
Boiler
Rudder
Box
Fire Ext
Bulge
Badge
Oxytorp
Pearl
....lol
I fought a 120 4 star, gun equipped zoomer yesterday, it was kind of scary.
you can argue for most of the pairs there, lol
had to reset first match cause my VG just sat there and ate BB shells.
Second match she almost survived second airstrike I think lol.
or when your vanguard decides to eat all torps
and their vanguard baits homing of all your torps but nobody gets hit
well, i havent had as many problems with torps
cause noshiro laughs
and then triple nep gun just runs down squishy torp users
though with Noshiro, I actually find eating torps with vanguard is better than letting them hit main, lol
yeah
plus they dont damage you after the fact
a torp might crit you once for 2k-3k
i just realized I don't have a 4th Boiler
but that's it
3 nagato barrages...
yeah, Noshiro 
I don't think I've lost my lead jun to opening torps yet, ever since I started running Noshiro
it's great
same
and of course running triple bb against hiryuu, losing vg to shelling is the worst trade
xD
i might swap to sheff u
to boost sheff's durability a little more
since she shields herself too
im not sure on math though
no space
juneau =/
if pearl healed 35 but couldnt stack with juneau we'd have more flexible vg comps
or 25
how do you make it not stack 
just slap it on a different ship 
it adds a ui element
sheff
Oh wait lmao

why not
Nod best maid anyway
belfast 
sheffield 
nepnod isnt a maid?
You're the maid
She's a headnod

either rng or hiryuu snipe is better somehow
i thought she was a waitress or something
hiryuu snipe is good depending on your backline
xD
triple low aa bbs? snipe hiryuu
lel


why is enemy nagato trigger 4 times in a row im lazy af to restart
Gitgud



i dont need to restart even if enemy triggered 3 times
they wont trigger 4th time cos they dead by then

Wth is that fleet
this comp seems ok

lul

1 enterprise stand as usual

NANODA 
Kill her with fire...oh wait she has fire suppressor 
Rusher gang smh 

I guess I'll go with lucky number, 13

after 3 tests with belfast only mg dmg for both belgun and seattle gun it's like this
seattlegun 29977dmg 130s 230dps
namaryuu 13813dmg 55s 251dps (juneau azuma yuki)
namaryuu 5450dmg 30s 181dps (ibuki aurora noshiro)
nakaga 10714dmg 45s 238dps (yuki takao jintsuu)
belgun 25274dmg 152s 166dps
namaryuu 8440dmg 37s 228dps (juneau ibuki jintsuu)
namaryuu 7851dmg 65s 121dps (azuma juneau yuki)
hms 8983dmg 50s 179dps (belfast javelin aurora)
they aren't much for tests but it still seems that seattle gun should be superior
@elder crane are you moving anytime soon? 
i mean it has those busted armor ratios
dps? more like whiff
nou

Might as well just slip a torpedo onto her
I will slip a tor-pedo into you


All Kincora ships sans Malin being lood anyway

Also as to note
All Kincora CVs got double torp slot and a fighter keks


Exu no floof
wat



should nakaga be downtiered? i can barely win this
when i just don't straight lose to it
Using nakaga in 2020 
Ah I see the problem
It seems you are using ships labeled as โcarriersโ and not โbattleshipsโ
The tiering just made bad, t2 comps should be made t3 and half t1 comps made t2
akaga being t1 after summer is pepega
i would down tier both amakaga and nakaga. they both kind of suck against ws defense
no one to tank
many of those things don't belong to same tier
then again, ppl only care about t0
so no point bothering with t1 and below
just call it not t0

rip my test target... he unequipped his comp
some ppl never heard she was nerfed 
no doubt
her buff is for flag which doesn't help against ws
she's still one of the better cleveland class though xD
and it's only burning
not having anti air is nice
for how useful clevelands are in pvp that doesn't say much
she is just there for eva tank role
there actually nice balance now in Cleves
3 bae cleves
and 3... gae tomboy cleves
Biloxi is Cleve
biloxi's skin is gud though, plus she has the same blood colored drink dork has

im a sucker for cool types

got my aotn =D
Welcome to the club 

had to wait
season is pretty dead, even with 6 or more missed tickets I got gensui just with 1 ticket on 1st reset today
xD


I waited this long for a +1 

great. I rerolled one list of sandbaggers into another
first it's stella
and now it's you

time to check if I claimed all my cubes today
good I did 
at 88
that's really low
i always end up at 88 at slow seasons
93 at fast
thats the limit of not waking up to one reset

i rmber when i had a weeklong mountain hike
i got 98 ending score cos i was awake at all resets
lol
wasn't that the one season you ended r3?
Dabbing in 2020 


@shell heron
Rip, I missed 5 matches this reset, so I was already off to sleep, despite the low score.... 


my server end season
Does this apply to all ships in the fleet or only one
Aight
dont even play to use that in pvp
I read once per battle but couldnโt find anything about limiting it to one ship

even when i was working my sleeping schedule was all over the place because of shifts.
it works the same as vestal
She doesnโt seem to bad her other skill with +15% fire power and the ability to mount Seattle gun + French DD gun seems decent
now is way worse. when i want to do pvp i have to force myself to wake up at 5am...
Waking up at 5 am unwillingly sounds painful
i just fuck my sleeping schedule till i go to bed at like 10pm
well i have long reset time in between 5pm and 5am
Same
thats why i only end up top 2 at most
if i actually try might as well give it all
The 8pm reset I do my 5x rush and zzz till morning to begin sandbagging
my best score was still 9 pts behind 1st... so far away even tho that season i fucked like 2 resets after aotn because i wasted refreshes
+32 +31 +29 in 25m

i shouldn't have done the last one tbh. it's like a 139 without other bonuses
Why isn't Siri/Aurora/Yuki listed as a VG option for KFC or WFC?
cause siri+aurora way overkill u just make yr vg too paper and no juneau in cv comp makes it much less durable
jb is not barrage bote
Aurora alone is enough for FC to delete their vanguard
The issue is how you win after that, given your vanguard will sometimes be deleted soon too
Also if they RNG torpteam your Aurora, gg
restart
aurora ๐ฎ 
So i've seen that bel, juneau and ykkz are best for stalling in some page, but what about black prince instead of bel? She also has smoke screen, and better red skill with juneau's help. Can equip DD guns and has better AA.
So is black prince better than bel or am i missing something?
(Ik it's for stalling, but for the sake of being better)
They have the same smokescreen ability
blackrpince last 5s
belfast last 10s
isn't it
belfast release 10s delay the same time enemy akagi releasing plane
blackprince doesn't do anything
also blackprince boob is slightly smaller than belfast
how about using all ship depend on enemy lineup like me
nvm using enterprise helena all the way
bp has much less hp and less damage
I see..bel's smoke help reduce air dmg, but prince's boobs don't look any smaller than bel's. Even slightly
and bp usual smoke
dunno why you would use bp over belfast
unless you need anti torpedo smoke
but then you might as well run noshiro
meh
you need to know how to calculate girl's 3 size with glance
and have 0 rng
bel is one of best all arounders
Well we talked about the why just recently

her crit skill with only 1 MGM is not better than belfast's HE boost
much less the 20% fp
the 20% fp from eagle ships just puts her at the same FP baseline as belfast
meanwhile belfast has a torpedo stat, and her HE skill is amazing
and she has 300 more hp
360
Not without another CL gun. That's why i mentioned the DD gun
guess what that rainbow dildo used for?
that's accounting for dd gun

bp doesnt have the MGM+1 to out dps belfast
if the dido line had MGM+1
hoo boi
good stuff

mgm+1 is traded for torps with a few exceptions tho
meanwhile sandy laughs at that trade
huge barrage, huge gun deeps
although her torps are just for fun
xD
And yes, it's obviously accounting for a dd gun
gun damage is pretty irrelevant in pvp compared to torps
im still waiting for enty proc helena proc and sandy barrage
dd gun damage is the only one that is relevant cause it can actually aim
too bad all the good dd gun users get slaughtered by BIG SEVEN

And there we have it.
Tho it's neither about the damage that answered the question
the feeling of battling enemy nagato
What was even the question?

is any muse ship useful for pvp?
I dont wanna spend cube and save for nagato or something
even for pve
isn't azuma the best pvp vanguard? With that massive hp
she is
na in pve cn moved balti and minne up

put azuma on corp
enemy ibuki - my prey

more like, azuma just soaks the torps anyways
ibuki will not do it
azuma has over 17k hp with pvp mults
4-5k crits 

Why we dun have clear dorm button
have to replace ships manually
mostly for second floor
ehh, Sirius and BP still use the 130 mm, or 138 if you can't spare that
Dido herself though wants twin 100 mm, her barrage is almost as good as Nep's
Lol BP or Dido in PvP though
does dido not have the dido class barrage?
She has a speshul enhanced barrage
Sirius also doesn't have the dido-class barrage, it's also special enhanced
does BP even want the 130 then? 
it days all out assault dido
I just assumed hers was the same as Sirius
on both bp and dido
but bp looks more like sirius
and not dido
but sirius is all out assault sirius
the hell manjuu
looooool, gg translators, as usual
Dido has own barrage
it's almost as good as Nep's
better than Noshiro's, I think? not sure on that since torps aren't super obvious to eval
anyways, Dido gets like a million shots iirc
oh, remembered wrong, it's 3 arrow patterns
in any case, it should be very much worth using the 100 mm on her
siri has 3 reverse arrows, bp/dido 2
bp doesnt share a barrage with dido
and it means nothing
lol
yet still the same barrage name
anyway, she is totally 100mm user
xD
They indeed have diff anme
any shots on center line are actually 2 shots for mirrored barrages
Bp says Dido Class and has generic icon
Dido says just Dido and has special icon
yeah
but Dido is super specul
pattern is diff for sirius...
dido-class is linear straight
sirius barrage converges to a laser
it is still really close though
like design wise it makes sense as a fancy dido class barrage
ye
ye
didos barrage doesnt resemble it at all
I don't see the laser part there
xD
well, not really a laser, but it's fairly tight
they just converge
if you control it well, you can actually land all of the shots on one target
that needs good distance
yep, when I manualed Sirius, I just tried to land one half close in, lol
it's too hard to line up that far
yeah
and if target is moving
it takes like 1 sec
when she starts casting till it converges at one point
and it deals a lot of damage to light
Noshiro HE also cannot burn
But hardest hitting barrage after nep
still
is it really HE if it doesnt burn xD
it also doesnt go straight forward xD
but it's actually electric balls that zap you and go through...
jav and z23 pierce
there only 13 vg Ap barrages
also not all full ap, like Dido
oh, roon pierces too
I also would implement for Seattle equipped with double cl guns same volleys count rule as for Yat Sen and make both guns count 
also it would be really tough

Shit. Do I eat a +9 or use a precious refresh 
I can wait a little but longer. 1 match left
