probably gearing issue

ruby wyvern
#

f1 mobs f2 cv f3 ap f4 he

chrome spade
#

this is like peak meta besides 4th fleet
what's up with the gearing then NagaThonk

formal prism
#

which boss

ruby wyvern
ruby wyvern
formal prism
#

no

#

which hull

soft coral
#

did you miss yorktown2 implacable?

formal prism
#

you can nuke out a self-healing BB enforcer in one fight

ruby wyvern
#

is there a way to have all gears with all ships on one screen or do i have to screenshot each of them separately?

ruby wyvern
formal prism
#

which boss

ruby wyvern
#

i honestly have all ships

soft coral
#

can use azur lane fleet tool

elder musk
#

its definitely gearing if youre struggling on abyssals

soft coral
ruby wyvern
elder musk
#

these fleets should easily take out harbiter

soft coral
#

is it possible for a boss to have both shield and heal mods

ruby wyvern
chrome spade
#

the heal tag can apply to like any of them, what's their hull PortDoll

formal prism
#

did this month's arb have heal?

soft coral
#

no

#

hit shield and crit shield

formal prism
#

because heal is just a random tag on any abyssal

elder musk
#

harbys cant have heal

formal prism
#

and you can oneshot any abyssal with those fleets, even with heal

#

also this is cursed

ruby wyvern
#

i'm working on cats atm so that's why they are not equiped

fervent coyote
#

it's called not giving an F about cats

ruby wyvern
#

ap fleet

formal prism
#

it doesn't matter just give them like any cat for token stats if you don't have anything ready

elder musk
#

your guns dont make sense for the fleet

formal prism
#

cursed

elder musk
#

you want all 3 champyguns

formal prism
#

457 also doesn't sync

elder musk
#

agir wants a fast torp

formal prism
#

doesn't fit shelling timings for slow

ruby wyvern
#

i have to move rn be back in 30 mins probably

fervent coyote
#

this makes absolutely no sense

formal prism
#

it doesn't, so it was a gearing issue

fervent coyote
#

also elephant in the room

#

where's Musashi

formal prism
#

maybe he missed it, maybe he didn't raise her WarShrug

fervent coyote
#

they said they have pretty much everyone

formal prism
#

but those fleets should still have 0 issue with any C6 abyssal

ruby wyvern
#

Also i was using comunity tier list for gearing ships and always picked the gear that was said best for specific role that's why now i don't understand why is it bad but i like to learn

fervent coyote
#

uhh

formal prism
#

ectl recs is dogshit for OS comps

#

it's a "generic" guide that doesn't work well for endgame

elder musk
#

it works fine if you read

formal prism
#

that's part of it yes, but I don't think ectl recommended rainbow quints on agir or 460 on NJ either

fervent coyote
#

this is typical OpSi BB fleet set up

#

but yeah the reason that setup sucks is everyone is out sync

#

your fleet comp is set up to stack buffs but because of the gearing you basically end up stacking nothing

formal prism
#

at a glance none of the BBs will shoot when radar proc, that's super cursed PortDoll

fervent coyote
#

I don't want to know what the CV set up looks like

formal prism
#

I don't either

ruby wyvern
#

took me a little longer but now i'm here

ruby wyvern
#

and that is based on comunity tier list second best AP gun in that tier list that is why i picked it

#

after twin 457 mkA

fervent coyote
#

not really

#

the 460 is functionally useless for syncing

#

and I don't recommend it for most content due to how slow it is

ruby wyvern
#

this is how it is on nj

fervent coyote
#

top to bottom doesn't mean best to worst

#

you need to look at each individual gun and determine which is best for the situation you find yourself in

ruby wyvern
#

text says best great good

fervent coyote
#

again that means jack

ruby wyvern
#

an i guess great is better then good

#

well guessed at least

fervent coyote
#

again gearing changes depending on the content your tackling

formal prism
#

guide doesn't list based on use with other ships or for specific content

#

your BBs had 0 sync and none of them would fire when Helena procs

ruby wyvern
#

my whole life was a lie UniHurt

fervent coyote
#

no you didn't read the guidelines and took everything at face value

formal prism
ruby wyvern
#

it's too hard for me to figure how this syncing works even after 4 years when this is all i used for gearing UniHurt

fervent coyote
#

you want your BBs to fire when Helena procs her radar scan to take advantage of her debuff

#

you also want Vanguard to fire first and Musashi and FDG to follow in quick succession for similar reasons

formal prism
#

also ideally when using VG she should go first because her barrage is another damage buff

ruby wyvern
#

is there a way to learn this gearing power?

formal prism
#

bottomline you want to just look at the reload times on the ship's equipment screen

#

you want BB guns to fire ~20s

#

460 is going to be in the 25+ range

#

twins are going to be 16-18

ruby wyvern
#

would anyone of you be up for a call and whole explanation + me sharing my stuff with you to learn how to do it properly?

formal prism
#

which is why in most cases we just use champagne gun or mk6/mk7

#

just start by giving FdG NJ and VG champagne guns first

fervent coyote
#

BBs are pretty easy to sync

#

CVs are a bit more involved

formal prism
#

CV is a far bigger mess because launch time is based on individual plane reload and slot plane count

ruby wyvern
#

at this point i'm afraid to send other fleet gears

formal prism
#

practically speaking you only need to know how to gear these 2 fleets

ruby wyvern
#

and here i though i was doing it right

formal prism
#

if you have Implacable swap her in where Ark Royal is, I assume you're still leveling her if you do

ruby wyvern
formal prism
#

we can deal with CVs later

#

you can literally solve the sync problem by just giving them all champagne guns

formal prism
#

(there are other fine tunes but that is the bottom line)

fervent coyote
#

here's a list a of a bunch of set up for Implac plus Nano/Haku and Yk2/Enty

ruby wyvern
#

My painful fleet aka how to learn that for your 4 years of playing you did everything wrong

formal prism
#

just put ectl aside first
each piece of weapon has its own base reload time
of that, the triple 406s and 410s have the best base reload time to sync up the current top end BBs with Helena proc

#

it's not that complicated they all just end up with similar enough reload time to go with the buff(s)

fervent coyote
soft coral
#

ehh

#

ye

fervent coyote
#

play around with these to figure out what works and what doesn't

ruby wyvern
soft coral
#

they look like mobbing cvs

fervent coyote
#

eh

soft coral
#

u just dunno opsi

fervent coyote
#

exactly what I exepcted TBH

ruby wyvern
soft coral
#

click it and read it

ruby wyvern
fervent coyote
#

pick a ship

#

pick a gun

soft coral
ruby wyvern
soft coral
#

posted at bottom

formal prism
ruby wyvern
#

i don't even know how to enter relevant bonuses i tried for example njs skill that give 10% reload buff if she have EU ships

fervent coyote
#

that falls under reload percentage buff

soft coral
#

like

#

bombzen site is a little barebones

#

but it has labels and instructions

formal prism
#

Increases this ship's FP by 5% (15%) and RLD by 1% (10%)
NJ just straight gets a 10% reload buff

ruby wyvern
#

i get where to put them i don't get when they work

fervent coyote
ruby wyvern
#

for example as i mentioned with nj skill idk if it works only if she have full fleet of EU ships or just one other EU ship for example

fervent coyote
#

it's just one other lmao

formal prism
#

Increases this ship's FP by 5% (15%) and RLD by 1% (10%). If this ship is sortied with another Eagle Union ship:

#

she gets her RLD buff regardless, if you send with USS ship(s) ++

ruby wyvern
#

yeah i'm dumb with those things that's why i want help with it

fervent coyote
#

if she needed more than one it would have specified

formal prism
#

reading comprehension PortDoll

ruby wyvern
soft coral
#

hmm, if second language, then ok

formal prism
#

like I said don't think too much about BBs

#

just give them champagne gun you'll have roughly the right timings

ruby wyvern
fervent coyote
#

Musashi uses the Tripple 410mm but that's a minor difference

#

Champaign gives gives you nigh on perfect timing lmao for BBs

formal prism
#

there's no perfect timing because the ships will have minor desyncs, they don't all have the exact same reload, and when you get to Musashi she wants a different gun

#

and the game isn't hard enough to need to set them all in perfect order PortDoll

high onyx
#

@ruby wyvern Let's not be using slurs in here, least of all while trying to bypass the filter friend

ruby wyvern
#

this is also partialy confusing when it said still worth using UniHurt

ruby wyvern
high onyx
#

That was not part of the instruction

soft coral
#

that's rated last of the three choices
ectl vaguely lists things from top best to bottom most budget

ruby wyvern
#

i'm not using slurs on others UniHurt

formal prism
#

it's not an OS fleet guide

ruby wyvern
#

why isn't 457 rainbow that good and why do i have three useless versions now UniHurt

soft coral
#

mmm, read the descriptions in full before complaining here

formal prism
#

it's not a bad gun, it's just not good at everything

soft coral
#

so incomplete ShiSleep

ruby wyvern
#

extremly high shelling dmg and decently low reload

formal prism
#

ECTL gear descs are not helpful for OS fleetbuilding

#

for the last time just stop looking at the tier list gear recs

ruby wyvern
#

ye i get that much now

#

i'm just refering to my past usage of it

fervent coyote
#

the 457 can't sync with Helena

#

and you usually can't more shots off to justify using it over the Champaign gun even when not trying to sync with Helena

#

it's a glorified mobbing/ barrage gun

#

it's a good gun but not a universal weapon by any means

ruby wyvern
#

why is 533 quad better then quint rainbow on shima?

formal prism
#

it's kind of sidegrade

ruby wyvern
#

and why does she have staag and no rainbow AA gun UniHurt

formal prism
#

the quint fires 1 more torp but you get the same damage/torp, the spread also means the extra torp usually flies off into the horizon especially if for boss

#

so it doesn't actually do more damage besides the 20 higher TRP, and you end up taking longer to reload

#

needless to say it's also more expensive to enhance

ruby wyvern
#

my whole game experience was worthless till now AmagiHeh

#

it actually really hurt seeing how all of my investment up until now was useless

formal prism
#

it's not necessarily worse, Shimakaze also gets double preload so she can squeeze more out of the quints than average torp boats

ruby wyvern
formal prism
#

just swap like that first you probably see a pretty visible difference

#

if you need to fine tune more then maybe ask again

ruby wyvern
#

and also let's say i would put implacable into my cv fleet what is the difference between using beacon and not using beacon because rn i'm looking at the first two fleets in here and i well except for using beacon and 4 planes they are almost same

ruby wyvern
#

and about cv fleet is everything else on vanguard ok?

formal prism
#

beacon is just 4% off your reload time for airstrikes
normally you won't use it on Implacable for OS because she'll be the fastest of the 3 with proper plane loadout

#

I mean you could give them augments but the gear is mostly ok

ruby wyvern
#

when we are talking about augments is augment made for specific ship for example Eugens or Bels one best in slot always or sometimes are better the ones avalible for all ships

formal prism
#

usually but most of those aren't ships you'll be really using PortDoll

#

the top meta ones probably aren't going to get gold augments any time soon

ruby wyvern
#

is scepter best for cvs?

formal prism
#

generally yes

ruby wyvern
#

so if i put on all three of mine it would be ok or does someone want bow?

#

and why the heck do they need to have some medieval shits of equipment and not something more modern AmagiHeh

formal prism
#

evasion tends to be more useful where the difficulty matters
bow skill will struggle to proc in most places that are not ch12 or 13
not that sceptre is much better but still

#

anyway that BB fleet should be enough to babysit you for a bit, maybe take some time to look at how the shots line up and buff timings, before you try to think any harder for CVs

#

CV syncing with Ark Royal is going to be easier than Implacable because her slow lasts pretty long, just swap planes around and see how the timings look like before you move on to Implacable

ruby wyvern
#

well atm this is my dmg on soaryuu meta

#

just for reference on this fleet

formal prism
#

with modern gearing should be able to oneshot or at least get significantly higher... can't test that though

ruby wyvern
#

also should stop slacking on my musashi despite her being my most favorite ship of the game i haven't lvled her up till now that much

formal prism
#

anyway I need to hit the hay, play around with the BB fleet first, even for META, maybe start a new thread if you need more help with CV

ruby wyvern
#

same goes for implacable
