#Auto map 13 help
bright hill
this is my current fleet to play map 13 (I use HMS to build Drake in case you wonder)
lilac pike
moar cv
grave crow
- Only the frontline counts for Drake XP
- I would yeet UvH for another CV to comftorably deal with enemy planes better
- Yeet Perseus for another CV, she does nothing after she dumps her preloads
bright hill
1) Only the frontline counts for Drake XP
2) I would yeet UvH for another CV to ...
idk I' m afraid of CV cmder ship than enemy planes
lilac pike
well it doesn't seem to be working is it? there's too many planes because you're not killing the command ship
bright hill
that's why I put 2 BB in boss fleet to not get screwed but still lost 2-3 ships
note I let them use AP guns
grave crow
better to deal with both enemy planes and the command ship at the same time than getting murked because you dont have enough AA coverage
lilac pike
you're just making the problem worse
bright hill
wait I don't really have enough AA?
grave crow
yeah that boss fleet defo wont cut it for 13-4 in terms of AA
dull ingot
Triple CV for mob, 2 CV and a BB like Vanguard or NJ in boss, and an AA carry like Sandy or Cheshire in the boss fleet
dull ingot
And don't worry about PR XP while pushing; wait until you're on safe for that
shrewd breach
the main issue I see is Kronk is a bit underleveled
dull ingot
It may also be a gear issue. What AA guns are your vanguard and main fleet ships using?
bright hill
what's the acv?
superiority for some reasons
dull ingot
Are you having any issues with the mob fleet, or is it boss only?
shrewd breach
do you have the fleet formation set to circular?
dull ingot
Try replacing UvH with another CV
shrewd breach
NJ has good AA
dull ingot
mob fleet I lost Nep cause they don't get the ammo
Replace Perseus with an actual damage CV
shrewd breach
she's basically another AA carry
what gear are you using?
I'm betting your AA Guns are poor or the fleet just isn't killing Taiho fast enough
bright hill
grave crow
damn that is cursed
dull ingot
Give Kron a twin 90 or quad bofors, same for Helena. Sandy can use the twin 113, and get them all to 10
bright hill
do you have the fleet formation set to circular?
oh yes I do about this
shrewd breach
what's the rest of the boss fleet gear like?
lilac pike
13-4? my rec, don't do 13-4 with underlevelled ships and +9 weapons
shrewd breach
first off enhance that gear
also give NJ and AP Gun, preferably a Champaign gun
+10 gear is the minimum when you start W13
dull ingot
NJ should have a better secondary gun as well, there's no reason not to have a gold gun at this point. You can use a twin 128 or, even better, a twin 137
bright hill
ehm now think about it, I was too focus on mob but bossfleet is poor
bright hill
NJ should have a better secondary gun as well, there's no reason not to have a g...
ehm if you are talking about gear lab guns uhm... I was too lazy to do things in there so >.>
shrewd breach
that mob fleet is also poor
dull ingot
This would be my recommendation for NJ, if you don't have a 457
shrewd breach
and underleveled
also why do you SG radar on Helena and yet no Fire Control Radar on NJ....
bright hill
this?
dull ingot
Yeah, that's a good idea, since you aren't timing anything
shrewd breach
Helena.....
dull ingot
You can give the mk7 to UvH
bright hill
idk I never play AL with timing
dull ingot
Do you have Musashi or Bismarck leveled?
bright hill
since I know I will get desync from Helena for real so I just ignore that fact (yea my bad..)
dull ingot
I know, just looking for options
shrewd breach
but the ships are underleveled and poorly geared in some cases
dull ingot
Are all skills leveled to 10?
bright hill
Do you have Musashi or Bismarck leveled?
well I have Musashi, Bismarck or Zwei? if Zwei uhm upping atm
Musashi fully upped
dull ingot
You have both Shimakaze and Yuudachi, and you're using THAT for mobbing?
bright hill
dull ingot
Again, forget PR grinding while pushing levels, take your best ships
Replace Helena with either Shima or Yuudachi, give them the correct gear, and you should have no issues
bright hill
urgh if taking best ship I would enjoy to sip my cup of tea already
then cap at 12-4
dull ingot
I have no idea what you mean. This is for an auto fleet
shrewd breach
Mob: Musashi, Yk2, Unicorn Retro, Noshiro, Yuddachi Retro, Scylla
Boss: New Jersey, Vanguard, Shinano, Kronk, Helena, San Diego
that shouldn't struggle at all
let me gear it up real quick
dull ingot
Shinano at 104 is going to be enough?
dull ingot
What. The. F***
dull ingot
Ok, yeah, that setup should crush it
bright hill
so I decide to up her instead
shrewd breach
soemthing like this
if 'you have 2 x 1000 Ibs fighters use them over the hellcats
dull ingot
Why twin 113 on main fleet? I'd think STAAGs would be better
shrewd breach
New Jersey and Vanguard actually have good AA
they're almost AA Carries in their own rights
bright hill
if 'you have 2 x 1000 Ibs fighters use them over the hellcats
for exmaple?
dull ingot
Tigercats
dull ingot
I'd still take a Tigercat or Flapjack over a Hellcat
shrewd breach
you should
a lot of good gear and gold plates are locked behind it and the gear lab
dull ingot
Do you do your daily raids? YOu get quite a few materials there
bright hill
but I will try to catch up this req and see
bright hill
you should
Ik now I sahould do OpSi right now no matter what just ehh before they add the auto ehhh I was too lazy and busy to click and go
bright hill
Do you do your daily raids? YOu get quite a few materials there
always do for a lazy like me to get cube X)
bright hill
oh may I switch NJ's rec gun to the twin 357?
cause I only have one gun of that recommend one
dull ingot
You mean 457? That should be fine
I have to recommend getting at least one more champagne gun, though, as 2 of those and 1 triple 410 for Musashi is the best loadout for a BB fleet in OpSi/Meta fights
bright hill
oh about Musashi... I know people prefer her skill activative > her signature gun so ehm let me switch
dull ingot
Not really useless, but not the best option most of the time
bright hill
yea.. I get what you mean, but thank you for advices
