The PVP professional expert master guy said NJ is T1, so she's definitely T1. 
Please ignore Aoste's NJ ranking.
She going places.
anchorage shooting at my backline is possibly the least threatening thing to see 
Drakegun says hi 
I guess the average Amagi player wouldn't have a Drakegun to b able to put on their Anchorage to begin with 
Drake gun won’t help a ship that does zero damage in the first place
BB secondaries will melt her way before she can do any damage with drek gun
Have u looked at her FP and maingun Eff? And she still has 2 gun mounts 
That do zero damage 
and compare to BB subgun))
drake gun damage would make sense if there was no HP multiplier in pvp
virgin 2 mgm drek gun vs chad 3 mgm dd gun
200% eff. 3 mount
I can't see your point
i dont see that "some damage" on a 23k hp NJ
Oh wait I forgot
manjuu makes that worse
Yea guys ancjorag gun damage good make sure u put her on all your defense fleets
Of course because rainbow = good
How so? Are you implying ppl Manjuu their NJ? Cuz in that scenario it means she's doing less dmg anyway, so u can survive her secs for longer longer 
anchorage can't kill NJ to save its life, can't even proc manjuu on NJs that use manjuu
if u wanna argue whether or not NJ manjuu is good or not, i won't bother since its situational
my point is anchorage can't kill NJ 1v1 manjuu or no manjuu
Its. ITS.
Well yeah, but if NJ is low enough, should still be able to kill confirm. Chances are, if your backline is dead, and the NJ is full HP, you were probably gonna reset anyway by that point
Grammar guru strikes again
If anchovy is in nj face her shots are guaranteed to go for backline
anchorage gets shredded vs backline secondaries anyway
can't believe i got grammar nazi'd in pvp channel 
||It's not the grammar I'm worried about, it's more like treating my waifu like an object||
oh wait my Anchovy in amagi server isn't dev 25/30 yet but she should still be good right? our lord and savior T0 ship
You might want to consult the tierlist lords about that because they tier based on dev30 fatesim10 level 130
dang it
my anchovy has drek gun, am I doing it right 
You're doing it left
you guys complaining about low dmg on anchorage, just use Fumo duh, problem solved
thank me later
+13 that drek gun too while u at it
Rainbow = good after all
Also rainbow torps on anchovy too because rainbow = good
You’re missing +13 oxytorps so she can do damage to new jerjey
Don’t worry at least you can put one on each of your jerjeys
This image makes me realize how much we need rainbow AA 
Would jeanne do better than seattle in my pvp attack and defense fleet?
What does jeanne do in that fleet
Make duca and shima tankier I guess?
I think the main point of Duca and Shima are their preloads. Seattle anchor is perfectly fine from what I can tell
Jeanne is just a worse anchovy
How bad is anchovy
U tell me tierlist boy
anchovy + shimakaze + duca is the only viable anchovy team i've fought
every other anchorage team is trash
and even anchovy shima duca would be easily countered by juneau shima duca 
doesn't work suprisingly
i thought of that as well
turns out shimakaze duca damage is just too op
I mean it did well i fought someone with that comp
might back line torp burge only work but...
Also i had ancho to take on those torps
dunno wat to tell you 
that someone might be not teatorp
either you didn't fought it enough times or that team is poorly geared
which is a usual thing that happens
I did fought them alot
Still doing fine i guess
Might not remove anchovy until it starts failing me lmao
why did you ask then?
anyway the answer for you guys is always "Might not remove anchovy until it starts failing me"
i blame the anchovy overhype for the amount of shit she gets right now
Does anyone have a calculator that works for pvp?

to find eHP and DPS and stuff
for example I want to find out if dido with 2 AA radars is more durable against rocket planes than VH armor azuma
and I have no way to do without a calculator

I saw that calculator at past so it might be still there
that doesn't help me at all, that just annoys me
so try google
where did you see that?
I've already tried google
if you want to hear the nice version of what yukana said:
either choice doesn't really matter
no I don't dude
dido would get smacked by HE shells
azuma would get smacked by airstrikes
I found this calculator
but it doesn't seem to work for what I want
there
now go
there's backline AVI ehp, vanguard ehp on HE and AP
and regular backline ehp
oh wait there's no regular backline ehp 
as always I feel game communities lack scientific method to research
what's the shadowbuff tab?
and more problem is people can't see that's big problem
thing I don't understand is why when I ask a very specific question
with a very specific answer
and then people just go off and talk about why I sohuldn't even be asking the question in the first place
shadowbuff is the EVA increase on destroyers and light cruisers
you need controll group and contrast group at least...
that was on the level 125 update but was never mentioned in patch notes
this was added with the update that gave the destroyers the weird abilities?
but so far only me try that stuff
added on level 125 update
did they improve the forumla to be less punishing when interacting with the high-accuracy bosses or is it just some extra evasion stat?

DD and CL got additional stats as I know
I don't think this chart is able to help me. Basically what I want to do is input the enemy ship's armor modifiers, damage, and stats
and then input my own ship's armor type, stats, and other skill-buff %s
and then have it give me a number
the problem with the spreadsheet that I currently have is the ammo type
it doesn't let me set what the modifiers are
I'm gonna freak it
On a topic that can actually be answered
it seems to me like the AP dd gun will do more damage to the enemy vanguard than tashgun because it can penetrate right?
I also notice the AP gun has 360 firing an tashgun doesn't
doesn't matter normally but pvp ships drive weirdly
so basically we don't use tashgun
I'm not using any BBs :)
I'm trying to shoot down aquila preload to keep my CVs stealthed
it also lack 10 stats
veneto gonna have a happy day fighting AA focused crap
yeah I know you want me to be meta
I get it
can we move on
does the damage reduction from VH plating apply still if it changes the armor type from medium?
or are they mutually exclusive?
no
okay so am I understanding this correctly:
because your hp in pvp gets more than doubled
then gaining a % hp is far superior to gaining a % damage reduction
because not only is damage reduction not additive, but it also doesn't get doubled by the pvp formula, making it far inferior
is this interpretation correct?
if it's so easy then explain it to me instead of being condescending
you get damage reduction for all doubled hp
how do you get increase %hp?
or x1.05% boost to damage reduction
anyway just to answer your question
%hp is always better than damage reduction
since damage reduction doesn't work on dots
like burn or flood
ah I didn't know that
so if I get hit by a gun that does 100 damage and it sets a burn and I have 20% damage reduction
do I get a 100 damage burn or an 80 damage burn?
100 damage burn
lol
that's fucked
so the 5% evarate that destroyers get is actually a really big deal
🎲
well I need to know how they diverge
if you take a CL hull and a DD hull with identical stats
then apply the buffs to each sample
I want to know how they scale
and return to first question
do oath buffs apply to HP?
suppose 50% damage reduction vs 2times hp
I thought they didn't but it seems like they do?
but then pvp gives base damage reduction, so you lose some of it
oath ofcourse hp increased
well importance is ratio not absolute value
think well
also some reductions are mutiply, some are added
and in real situation, usually damage reduction skill gives much more stats than hp
like 10% reduction vs 5% hp
yahyahyah
bleh this is too hard lmao
I need to create a custom ammo type for the rocket plane
but I can't figure out how to get into the datatable for ammo types in the spreadsheet
it's hidden somehow
I don't think it matters cause I'm just comparing the eHP of two ships
I'm trying to find out what influences it more, heavy armor or high AA
cause they both have a damage reduction effect but I'm not sure how the AA one work
I think I'll have to calculate it manually
150+AA
there must be mention there
Combat is a core gameplay element of Azur Lane that's required for completing a large number of objectives in the game. In combat, a fleet of the player's choosing is placed in an instanced, side-scrolling shooter and must eliminate all spawned ships (including kamikaze ships, but not planes or Submarines) in order to proceed. Loss of the player...
I can't find it
as I remember somekind of skill activation count
that's the only mention on the page
well okay so let's say I have 300 AA stat, how would you use that to get the damage reduction?
like can you write it out in simple math for me hahaha
there's so many 1 + xyzs in here that it shuts my brain off
1/(1+300/150)
= 0.33
so we take 33% damage?
brifely yes
so dido with 738 AA should be taking ~16% damage from CVs?
so dido has more ehp for sure only vs CV
so now I can see what is that clack bit
it's stealth or not
stealth=1
not=0
ah
azuma has 20,441 hp with 15% damage reduction and heavy armor, the heavy armor mult for rockets is 0.5.
So her eHP is (20441*1.15)*2
this is correct?
and then we add 100% - 34 = 66% extra hp to get the AA modifier
where 15% DR comes from?
pvp modifier for hull type
CA has no buff as I remember
so it seems like azuma has 78,043 eHP vs. rocket planes.
Same calc for dido this time leaves me with 19,478 eHP
so either I did this wrong or this is very embarrassing for dido
dido base hp is 9410
25% hulltype damage reduction
should be near 120k
1.1x damage mod from rockets
aha then near 60k
I did this: ((HP*damRed)*armorModifier)*AAresistance
AAresistance=should be near 6
I used 100 - 16 = 84% for AA resistance
which is 1.84
okay so clearly that is wrong
or is it?
I don't know I'm fucking shit at math
this is beyond my abilities lmao
well;;
just think normally
you mutiplied azuma by 3 since she get only 33% damage
and now you mutiplied dito with 1.84 while she get only 16% damage
don't you think you should muliply with near 6
I multiplied azuma by 1.66 actually
so I fucked up on her
xDDDD
azuma has 141,042 eHP
awith fixed calc
then that's right
oh right
I didn't do evasion at all
but tbh I don't think it would change much
when the gap is literally doubled
like if dido's skill gave her 15% evarate
then I would calc that
but tbh I can see that without caculation
the most importance is that armor type based damage gap
yeah, if you have the good armor type then nothing else matters
you can stack numbers all you want but if your armor is wrong then you die
rockets have 140% vs. medium so anchorage is probably going to be fodder when her immunity is on cooldown
yeah I factored the 750 HP from the VH armor into azuma's calc
so it got doubled by the pvp bonus
which is why her base HP is so crazy
and then the gap just grows even further withy the 0.5x heavy armor multiplier
but I think the real conclusion to make here is that anchorage is very vulnerable to rocket planes
cause her mult is even worse than dido
I diss agree
why do you disagree
in theory yes, anchorage is very vulnerable to rocket planes
lmao
keyphrase is "in theory"
basically at the start she has her shield up
preload carriers like aquila don't do damage to anchorage
casablanca launches with perfect timing for anchorage's smokescreen to dissipate
when enemy aquila pretty much killed you at the start
but also your vanguard should shoot down all aquila's planes
to keep your CVs stealthed
VG ISN'T FIXXED TARGET. THEY HAVE ENGIEN
that's my general strategy at least
can your vanguard survive torpedo memes from enemy vanguard?
or HE shells from vittorio veneto?
perseus yeets the enemy vanguard except anchorage, my vanguard keeps my CVs protected, casablanca launches from stealth to yeet anchorage, then my 3rd CV launches and yeets their backline
(in theory)
wrong
that's what I'm trying to solve, enough AA to keep my CVs stealthed but not too squishy that aquila rockets + vittorio kills my vanguard too quickly
that's basically the problem in the current pvp scene
no vanguard can survive heavy damage from veneto + aquila airstrike + shimakaze and duca torpedoes
don't underestimate dodge!
well VG suvival ok even for now
the most squshy VG(2 rainbow oxy aux) survive long enough as backline
they would dodge
oh my percy is launching 3x as many as aquila
that's pretty same idea as 818 or rusai can kill VG
ok nvm
man every time I read aquila skills it reminds me how bad devs are at balance lmao
well there's no such thing like balance in this game from the start
I can confidently say Anchorage is the best tank. I honestly don't see a substitute to her 
I would say we just don't need tanker
is there a guide for how to minmax getting the gold enhancement parts?
I don't know how to be efficient about it other than use all my AP to auto the highest corrosion zones
Teams without Anchorage just evaporate tho
Like, you 1-shot Juneau leads way too easily
They might as well be playing 2 VG ships lol
alright alright so what's your ancher compo?
Do you want 5 minute long pvp fights where main fleet gets blown out and you just got tanky vanguards having slapfests?

i was so busy laughing at this shit that i forgot to cancel the fight and ended up with +9
Didn't censor your name. Now I know who you are 

i just gave pearl tears to jintsuu. Would it be better to put her in the tank position or should i keep her in the middle?
Tank
Ok. Another thing im considering is just giving noshiro pearl tears, instead of jintsuu, and leaving noshi as tank. would that be preferred?
The best way to see would be to pay attention who tends to go down first and put Pearl on them lol
any comment about my video?

Need to be 4K
are there any problem? I can't see why there's no comment at all
i dont have a problem with it
Look at all those torp DMG reductions: VV/Duca/Noshiro (+ NJ's DR for USN on Juneau). Shima don't give a shit, she delete both Juneau/Noshiro and chunk VV hard too 
why are some people using juneau in pvp alongside with other top-tier ships
The Heal and AA used to be a strength, but it's no use if she dies too quick. Many ppl tend to put her lead, but that's just asking for deletion from AQL/Shima
Might as well put Manjuu on her to guarantee she lives for 8s if u wanna place in lead tbh
tbh, recently best death time for here near 10s
my jun has no problem as front lead 
mine still so many times die too late
same tbh
and more aquilas to be bale to effectively use them, im sure 
but tbf, it might be a case of defense doing 20% less dmg, so Juneau on attack taking less dmg as well
while on attack, it's easier to kill her off if on lead lol
shimakaze is goated in pvp
someone explain this 
i smell coping
dont need to cope got my tenrai few weeks ago 
im glad aquila isnt strong anymore 
meanwhile jp pvp def fleets
hood and akaga
What is this meme?
dont worry i use white shell because the pvp god told me to
still dont know what it does tho
The hell is "Kenny Mod"?
It’s a jojo reference
|| A foreign server reference ||
Yeah the jojo roleplay server
I give much appreciation to my cunny wife 
Hi, I suck at PVP, I am lvl 130 and lose to 92s. My best friend Forbs, said I should check this channel out for help.
Maybe you can give an example of what you've used so we can see if it's team building or equipment you need help with
I have access to all ships in game. I have about almost every type of gear. I just don't know anything about PVP. So i have no clue what to do.
What is a good fleet comp to run?
Best fleet comp is probably this. Equipment is pretty important too, but main advantage of this team is the absolute tankiness of Anchorage and the 2 BBs and then the quick damage output of VV and high damage of NJ with Aquila's reveal
I have been using pvp for leveling mainly, so I don't really know what ships to use at all. Sorry I am waifu player, just trying to learn how to pvp properly, to get AOTN
okay, I will try that out
okay, I will try tha tout!
thx!
No problem
should I run that as defense fleet to?
Defense really shouldn't matter too much
She's fine even at dev25. But best replacement without her is Juneau
Juneau will lose tankiness but give a team heal after dying
Do you know famine? U should make him your best friend too
Famine will troll you instead
when will CN ship become meta
China wall is pvl meta, just need to believe and your social credits will do the talking
Can I see your Shima bro?
mine at 125 dies too fast
Mine in full DPS usually lives for 2nd torp set lol
A good 80%+ of the time
I guess when I got a good, solid tanking VG with tanking equips, her survivability in middle is damn right solid.
Lmao Ive put rudders on mine but if shes gonna die anyway then i think u got the right take
full torps
But mine isn't so squishy is the thing, so i think ur supprt from the others might be lacking somewhat
And yeah, shit that's dead can't kill u, so high dps is not a bad thing as long as u got the support to keep her afloat
My Shima regularly destroys 2 of the vanguard ships on average
Even when they might be using damage reductions from Italians, Noshiro and NJ
shima gives zero shits about torp dmg reduction
If she dies before her reload, she'll at least give a pearl's tear heal off for the others
Her main job is to just blow any lead Juneau to bits before they can heal off NJ's first barrage
And if enemy uses Ancho/Jun Shima's not dying
Because I want to
114mm: (0.1 VT + 0.26 ACD + 0.75 FR ) x10 = AoA at 11.1s~
76mm: (0.0 VT + 0.26 ACD + 0.49 FR) x 10 = AoA at 7.5s~
The gap is about 3s. 114mm has good ballistics to be reliable at dealing damage, even if her MGM Eff and FP are mediocre. So I rather have a good damaging gun that reloads fast. I do the same for Yukikaze by the way.
The one ship I would make the exception is Ayanami, where the proc would actually be a very massive damage increase on the torp damage. Otherwise I like to go for the doctrine of balanced between good DPS gun and reload.
That, and 114mm has some AA, so helps with Avi eHp, and is gold so boosts Power which make the Fleet Power look nicer.
I use 114 cause I have 13 of it
that 76 vs 114 was old topic when 114 first came
and result was for most ships, 114
Well, like I said, Ayanami is the clear winner. Kazagumo also gets some mileage. Other ships is mostly a meme. I wanna try it out a bit on Z46 cuz I wanna see how much she gets to spam barrage with, but will probably put 128mm on her.
Yeah, her AoA gives way more damage than her gun. Also if your AoA procs at 22.2s you're running into Ancho smoke. Easier fight for the rest of us at least. People can judge for themselves what they prefer
Pretty hard to count full damage from any ship in pvp with vanguard moving across the whole screen in a half second
AoA will at least have a really decent chance to chunk a main fleet if it misses if nothing else
This all assumes the gun will always be firing as well, and seeing as the AA can take both VG's very wide, it isn't always set in stone anyway 
each of us can make decisions based on there own expected hitting
Whereas the gun will always lock on to deal dmg anyway, and better ballistics and dmg parameters will mean they will do their stated dmg . And Barrage can miss cuz it's not exactly aimed
Either way, I'm aware all of these things, and I already said why I would prefer 114mm. If u want to use 76mm, it's still a good call, but it would be more of a preference at that point, weighing various pros and cons, and not overall impactful anyway
for my self I would pick gun damage when brrage damage is lower than 200%of gun damage
so all you need is just show damage of barrage and gun when they hit 100%
Well, I'm no expert. I just go off of gun efficiency. Ships with 110% and more I go gun DPS and 100% or less I go barrage spam just as a rule of thumb because under 100% efficiency feels very weak in my experience
I wonder what you want to do
It's obvious that 114 guys would also say "in my experience"
are you want to make a change meta or just want to say I'm right?
ships have very different barrage much more than gun efficiency so we should care both for sure
I can't say which one is better for shima exactly since I didn't calculated both
So I just said 114 was better for most ships
So for this problem, you guys should show at least tons of test videos or theoretical full damage
what is meaning if we don't know barrage damage even in very roughly
i use 76 on shima for every other place i use her so dont wanna bother swapping off for pvp
alright I got the answer
shima has near 100 FP, 900 TORP when 2 rainbow oxy
so torp based damage do nearly 5times damage
when we compare +13 114 vs +7 blue gun, DPS gap is about 53/s
(considered gun effecient)
Torp aoa good
aoa?
anyway if we change that as torp stats based, it's only 10.6/s
and there barrage damage gap is 4%/s
so now we can compare
barrage damage is near 550 vs light armor
so 4%/s is 22/s
roughly 2times
so if you think gun reach target 2times than barrage, use 114.
or if you consider AA
otherewise 76
personally that calculation showing 76 better for shima except AA
torp has pretty good accuracy
did you get how I made answer?
Yes that’s why I said torp aoa good
Shima will do way more damage with aoa procs than her main gun
The barrage
All Out Assault
Every vanguard ship has an AoA barrage based on gun proc, which is the whole discussion about
so that is just barrage
Well yes, but barrages come in many forms, but there's only one kind of AoA (Vanguard only), so it's abbreviated as such for convenience
Either way, I already went over why I use 114mm. 76mm is a good pick too, for slightly faster procs. It won't mean you're gonna get any more procs overall (for you to get one additional, the battle would have to go over 1 minute), and most battles ends before that
ok
I don't think I can test this as really situation cause the gap is too tiny so much lower than RNG
for my self the aoa was way bigger than my expectation so I'm considering change gun
but that emotional huddle is pretty high( +13 gold vs +7 blue)
Only DD gun I've gotten to +13 is NJ's secondary
gun plates a bit scarce when you've got minimum 2 rainbow guns to get to 13
You should try to save that shit for BB guns
Here I'm struggling to get one more plate to +13 my Mk7 with, and yet I see peeps +13'ing DD/CL guns 

Why is his backline power so low?
probs running +10 like a pleb
look at this noob running rainbow shit to pad power. probably doesn't eve know how to play the game
Rainbow = good
see ID)
Didnt mean to spark this debate
but it is up to preference lmao
I would've said he was using shit guns if he used anything besides the 114 (and 76)
I don't really care either way, I wasn't even attempting to tell people what to do, but a random guy misconstrued my post, so I just went over the topic to show that I know full well about it and that I'm not ignorant on it lol

is amagi akagi kaga yuudachi retro good
and are portland and helena good to fill the gap?
that's pretty much going to struggle vs meta
well yeah
but thats like
the best one i have i think
compared to uni ranger amagi portland nimi helena
besides that, im confused is how monarch or richelieu will fit in my formation
since ive invested some on them
but i hadnt gotten much use outside of hard mode stuffs
Sounds like the best we can recommend is trying to get exp out of pvp and worry about ranking later
Akaga comps are terrible
It’s probably the best with what he’s working with 
I think Portland would be better, specially if u have NJ
If Akaga is "the best" he's got to work with, don't even bother trying to compromise, just get the exp and enjoy being in the sub 1000 range
Akaga with double Wyvern should be viable enough. If can't even double Wyvern, then yeh, it's bigger oof lol
By the time a new player gets up to double Wyvern Akaga, there's probably some new shiny UR that's very pvp viable again
Better triple wyvern it then
Nagato/Taiho/Hiryuu is probably better than Nakaga too
I have 5 457s on my Saratoga
My Essex is equipped with a lemon
What's the best PVP setup right now?
New Jersey
Aquila too
Anchorage as well

yamato is strong too
Yes, because rainbow = good
Shimakaze chads
which one is better? amagi monarch warspite or amagi akagi kaga
||Neither|| The first one, I guess...
Honestly, maybe Nagato/Shinano/Hiryuu is better lel
If u don't have Shinano, might as well use Taiho
dont have all
nvm i have hiryuu
just hiryuu though
Do u have New Jersey?
RIP
Yeah, then I dunno. Might as well go IJN lol
Fair enough
oh i have richelieu though
Then use the first option u gave, and try to get Nagato and Taiho...
Could try something scuffed, like Richy/WK/Hiryuu then
Warspite Kai (Retro)

i assume hiryuu is good because of Final Counter skill
For the most part
after she fires that airstrike she'll sink after the invulnerability ends right?
Juneau/Yukikaze + Some good cruiser. A cheap good one would be Leipzig (refit). And proceed with scuffed Richy/HiryuKai/WK. That comp, with some decent gear, would already be better than the other 60-70% of the population that bother with PvP at all lol
No
It leaves her at 1% HP, as long as doesn't take any dmg, still stays up. She can even get a Heal during the Invisibility period too
Manjuu kills after 8s of Invisibility, however (And can only activate for USN ships).
if u dont have any rainbow ships/event limited ones your best bet is ijn
nugget and hiryu are all perma
and u can just slap in warkai or another ijn as third backline
yukikabruh and juneau are also perma
Who's manjuu
Who's nugget? Nagato?
I only have warkai and yuukai
this is manjuu
you can get it from memento-> collection-> yorktown class (AKA. max star enterprise,yorktown,hornet)
if you dont have UR's like NJ, FDG, SHINANO etc (or italian ships). this would be your best bet imo. (keep in mind hiryuu needs retrofit). also you could go VG noshiro-ayanami-jintsuu if you want torp meme (sometimes its fun to see enemy VG go boom)
you could also go something like this if you got Richy
also azuma is hard to make and also takes lots of time to max dev level. before 25 lvl she aint good. so instead of azuma you could like. go a yuudachi retro or sandy retro. or something.

Who's top left
amagi on first pic (nagato). enterprise on second (richy)
I don't have enterprise
Isn't the only way to get her heavy build?
I'm only using cubes for events
enty is from special contruction. sometimes she also appears on the medal exchange shop for 80 medals.
you could go i guess ark royal (retro) or formidable
(since i dont think you will have perseus if you new) . unless you want triple bb. then maybe monarch.
I strongly recommend to pvp with pve ships
do you have that much resources?
what ever team you make, you can't win full defense team
they can ignore almost all attacker buff with just gear enchant except team
and oath also gives similar amount of gap as attacker buff
about ship level, 3 125 ships similar with 6 115ships
I only have one 115 ship
Amagi
She's flagship in my mob fleet and she always gets the MVP
Update: 116
Don't you just love the Enterprise staring contest?
Have a perseus/aquila with warkai and never have that problem again (unless they put her in flag)
Anchorage at Dev24. Only 1 more to go before she makes her pvp debut and early strike fleets become useless lol
i simply use new jersey
Sadly, could never get NJ. But now that my fleets above 115 shes no problem with Shima torps lol
But she would have made my planned composition monstrous
suffered one loss from not paying attention this season
still managed to get admiral of the navy

Manjuu Anchorage ftw
if u had manjuu NJ instead your anchorage wouldn't have even sank
Don't try me 
Ooo spooky anchovy attacking my backline whatever will I dooo
That makes no sense
It does to me
Had solo NJ against an opponent's NJ and Anchorage on that last reset. Thank goodness they had manjuu on Anchorage, I could have lost.
The scenarios in which Manjuu NJ eke out wins instead of needing to reset aren't common 
Yeah, please put your manjuu on Ancho instead of NJ guys. I need easier wins
I'm sure you do, seem to have a gear/comp issue by the looks of things, if you're losing to manjuu NJ's often 
make sure to equip your anchorages with manju and put her in your defense fleet guys
And make sure your Aquilas are properly equipped guys
Missing Tenrai is also a skill issue
Give your Aquilas double fighter
Double +13 Hornets
What? You're not doing double +13 Meschermitt?
? It's just fucking useless no matter what items you use
ofc its useless just by playing on korean server by default
why bother playing shitty server
anyone can understand him?
imagine born as a korean with one of the best genetic dna with high reflex for gaming just to waste all your bloodline and all your time playing shitty idle game that doesn't fully supported pvp
kekw
i am human
and ways smarter than you
nah why am i wasting time talking to neanderthal anyway
Is he gonna pong a mod now, for being called non-human, I wonder

boy I'm running into a LOT of people doing "ark royal and three destroyers" teams lately
I have found that Independence Kai is a pretty reliable counter to Enterprise due to her launch speed. Unfortunately she is very, very much a glass canon and will be lucky to survive the second wave of attacks.
Oh hey, DST happened.
Well. Glad I get AotN out of the way early. so technically got AotN this season with like 20 missed tickets
Yo, good evening paals. Should I put Shima in there?
I dunno, tough to say
Hm
Yeah, I could do that, my Jeanu since is 125 makes it kinda hard sometimes
Think I did wrong 125ing her lol
Shima powered by Noshi might balance out needing the Heal, cuz it would shorten the battle cuz of the DPS, meaning u take less dmg overall
What about against ancho? Shima still does great against her?
I myself use Ancho/Shima/Duca and it seels very damn good on Attack. Probably not as good on Defense but w/e
Yeha that's my way, but my ancho still smol
I think so, based from wut I've found out. Like, Anchorage won't take dmg from Shima's torps herself (She's more open to Duca's Slowpedos, however), but you can still delete the other two in the VG, if not at least chunk heavily the backline
That's a good point honestly, I'll try that. Since people start delving 30 ancho I'm geting few problems sometimes
She can be a very reliable tank, yes. Probably the most reliable tank for PvP atm
Her main nemesis atm are NJ's and Duca's.
That's pretty much the main "strategy" in dealing with Anchorage. Take out the 2 other ships and she'll slow down some so that you can start landing hits when she's not invincible
Anchorag can’t do much when the rest of the team is dead
Anchorage has good gun DPS 

Skills issue
should i replace portland with yuudachi?
(currently portland z23 kai helena)
z23 is currently my strongest ship
not ideal pvp fleet but its an upgrade
He's new so, most things would be an upgrade
Shimas dmg in pvp is just ridiculous... At 116 she'll swipe MVP from my 125 early Aquilla.
||I missed all of day 14 and part of day 13; the last 20 tickets after getting AotN||

Aquila is your MVP?
Usually yea. It's difficult for anyone else to do more dmg when she strikes twice before Enterprise.
Well, get ready for torpedo MVPs then.
Oh I am. Anchorage nearly Dev 25 and at 110
Granted it's live by the torpedo die by the torpedoes; if they all miss you're screwed.
It's not soo bad. Shima has double pre-load so she can send 10 opening salvo
It doesn't need to wipe the vanguard alone. The combo of early air strike, early BB salvo and early Torpedos will wipe the vangaurd.
My MVP regularly rotates between NJ, AQL and Shima 
If your MVP isn't a BB you're doing it wrong
Yeah, torpedoes are back, for better or for worse.
You guys pay attention to MVP?
Only thing I've noticed with it is NJ's pretty much guaranteed it against hard fleets
Because if she whiffs her barrage several times, you're probably having to reset
My shimakaze simply sinks enemy njs
My BBs never get MVP as I don't have NJ. Even with NJ she probably wouldn't get it. I use Ven/Whales and Warspite.
New Jersey mafia is fuckin scam!!!
I have full maxed ships and maxed pvp gear and i still losing!!
Fuck you veneto you useless whore!!!
fuck off all with that fleet
this is tier 5 not tier 0
pvp is over for me
Are you using white shell NJ?
No, clearly the Famie/Dalao Special is better 
3rd day of season and i lost 3rd match
that means that season is ended for me
even reaching top 50 is dream now
i mean, what did you lose from? unless is mirror and you alt-tabbed or something is rare to lose a fight with fully maxed mafia.
should be able to tag aotn even with 3 missed
You can miss 5 and still get aotn
i missed 3 like a few seasons ago
still tagged top 10
well
still in top 10 by the end
and what titan said
NJ mafia don't work on me at all
Screenshot your ship gears
Yeah, gear level and affection
I blame NJ Manjuu for this.
Anyone trying full early strike backline? Aquilla, Richi, Veneto?
guys is foch good for pvp???
Probably better than Aquila
Yeah Aquila is tier 5, Fock is tier 0
are there some ships or skills that stun other ships that make them cant move for a few second?
Yes, but they all die very easily
Strasser, Formidable and I think some vanguard ship that I can't remember
i encounter with that few times, is that type of ships good for pvp?
None of them are practical in pvp no
Swordfish Aquila is the most viable option to slow ships
Formi and peter is suck room also suck
Oh right, Helena META can also timestop vanguard, but it's entirely movement luck based
Would probably make for a funny gimmick defense team since she times her stop at about the same time as NJ's barrage and salvo
there are some stopping options but very hard to sync
and even in case you did so, some invincibles like Ancherage or manjuu would hurt you
btw with totally same gear and ships, shima duca team has only about 70% win rate
and something like magnet torp vs HMS torp also effect huge(It's just a single gear!)
now days I'm so sad with I just have only 1 black torp oxy and it seems it decrease win rate about 10%
Kek
@tacit fulcrum what’s your fleet and gear?

Not even dev30 WSkai smdh
Peter still has a chance to crash the game though.
is retro yuudachi good for pvp ?
Assuming you have shimakaze already, there's better support options like Jintsuu or Noshiro
Our Lord and Savior Shima.
So far all 3 UR releases have been meta-worthy for PvP. Looking forward to Christmas' UR release to possibly change meta yet again 
rainbow good
Rainbow fun
wait for FS V FDG
Fsv drake will surely being her to pvp 
finally my tierEX drek will be meta in pvp
is using shell not good in pvp?
white shell nj good but i dont know what it does
According to Dalaos and the Creed of Famine, You shall not White Shell your NJ, but giveth the Manjuu instead.
🙏
Higher ACC will win out over shells. And if for some reason your NJ is lacking power, keeping the manjuu and switching to champ gun over 457 will give it
Blessed be the Dalao 🙏
It is regardless of what the propagandists say
I’m still waiting for quyet to tell us what white shell does
White supremacist stuff I bet
this is really outdated 
On the topic of Shells. According to this, the barrage damage from NJ would scale with the added FP.
In that case, Black Shell would actually increase DMG a bit more cuz even more more FP, but the White one is also more useful overall for more shelling dmg as well anyway.
we gonna ignore the +hit
Exactly, we need hit. It's why gyros are best
Equip double gyros on all ships
a long long time ago
double gyro was "meta"
for damage
if you were a manual torp player

before we had enough rainbows dicks to go around
and all we had was the quad jap torp
I think the nail in the coffin to that setup was HMS black torp setups
Because doesn't matter how quick your VG is if your main fleet sinks in the first 20s
||You realize they were meme'ing, right?
||
||And I think I'm the one memeing by using a torpedo sponge VG||
dont worry takao with quad610 double gyro really very powerful to do everything alone haha
Same. Meta is so well ironed out, the only thing left to do is argue about manjuu NJ and memeing/joking
But where else is there to go
The only reason to stay in this server is to laugh at gameplayhelp and gamefeedback 

guys i try to use prinz eugen in pvp but she keep dying even tho she has 8k hp???
explain
skill issue
medium armor = bad
Just by armor type, you get 25% more damage from torps, 37.5% more damage from torp bombers, and dive bombers vary but are about the same and then you also have 10% less damage reduction because of how pvp "balances" ships
They're also slow af so easier chance of getting hit by BB shelling
Wut about Mainz tho
mainz t0 obv
Mainz at least makes up for that extra damage with 15% DR
But kind of sketchy without fate sim. Frontmost almost always taken up by Juneau if not Anchorage
hey guys, who are the meta line up this season?
new jersey
aquilla
white shell is my favorite aux to put on nj
Aquila with white shell is tier -1
don't forget, manjuu on anchorage & NJ
Don't we put manjuu on helena so we can proc radar and kekroll people?
Six torpedo fleet
New plan, manjuu on helena so we can not proc radar when doing last 5 minutes exercises so we can lose to not proccing radar
Nooo anchovy had manjuu i am going to lose this fight now because anchovy has manju
More because not using Aquilla 
cp? 


using Yuki 
Hey it works look at my backline health 
Time to use manjuu Yuki
Salty should be the face of triple BB meta
Give me two more 457s then I will
You only need 2, unless you don't even have your first...
The first time is the most important
who doesnt have 457 in 2021 
who doesnt have AQL in 2021 
u talkin to me? 
Yes
Sey
he doesnt know 
that he knows 
utterly clueless
utter cluelessly
It's 2021. Anyone see Naganami on torpedo meme defenses?
yes
A few, yes
But only for 5 seconds
Then I just see the rest of the fleet, without naganami
For another 5 seconds, I'm guessing?
8 because there is manju on their anchorag
torp meme defenses use ancho?
who else are they gonna put manju on? new jerjey?
Manjuu on Naganami so she's there for more than 5 seconds
guys is rikka good in pvp??
I see tier liests not updated...whats top dog fleet now?
New Jersey and five supporters.
Does it matter if i give my shimakaze an HP aux? like rainbow torp-celestial body, or she is so OP that double rainbow-torp is good enough? Also i just gave my VV a HPFCR (finally got a second one jesus christ 24/25 for 3 weeks -_-) or gold SG-Radar is better (her other aux is beaver-badge)?
If you can focus of offense, the best defense is more offense.
guys , is it better to use 2 rainbow torpedo for shimakaze or 1 rainbow torpedo and 1 black slow torpedo ?
we still lack of info about rikka so its still cant be answered for now
i think we have a lot of info on her already
she is ssr, she is vanguard ship, 5 auxil sots
is her skills also already showed ?
also i still looking for answer on this
skill she can use 5 aux items
Given that Shima has torpedo focus, you could give her +13 UR homing torpedoes and two +13 rainbow aux to maximize her torpedo damage. The black aux is only if you aren't using homing torpedoes (and are best suited for ship with aimed torpedoes).
If I can equip 5 aux then it means I can make a full
Setup with oxytorps
Which backline better - Aquila, NJ, Warspite or Aquila, VV, NJ ?
No italian vanguard btw
2nd
Warspite is best Waifu
kamita won
era of avrora over now
LMAO
when saber and fantie cant even beat agent S
what am i looking at
when saber and fantie having lower rank than a dude who work 12h a day and not having nj/spagetti ships on top of it
Avrora dead server confirmed


Beat by afk player 
That’s worse than the fleet I’m using lmao
