your ships
Will you manual?
auto
dont have aurora
Replace with DDG or kazagumo for CVs, or Plymouth for BBs
These are the fastest-winning auto fleets that I know of and I made them
But the timings are very strict
For the carrier fleet, the carriers must be 20.0 to 20.3s (except enterprise can be much slower), with Yorkii and implacable being very very close to each other
For the BB fleet, Bisz should be 19.2 to 19.5s, I forgot. But more importantly, the DDG missiles must be very close to 20s
DDGs can take an autoloader or goldburn to reach 20s.
I'm not aware of a DDG missile reload calculator, so you could trial and error in battle or plug numbers into a gun reload formula ripped from the wiki (add a volley time of 0.3s for SY-1)
And for the BB fleet, you will do very little damage in the first 2 minutes because Helena procs Cannon protection. If you manual delay the BBs first salvo by 10 to 12 seconds, DPS will increase by a lot
The timing would be a lot more lenient on manual
if you need help with the auto timing, renhex can help 🏃♂️

imma try
i dont have any of these 
if i go with bb fleet i dont have that hair green haired ship
time to use an autoloader shimakaze
DPS will be tight without Aurora and missile though
i trust my shimakaze
Havee shims torps be 19.7 to 19.97s
For good dps, manual for the first 30 seconds then turn on auto so that the BBs are staggered immediately
no luck, barely do any damage even on normal
its alright i hope i get better luck next month
Is the missile and torpedo timed properly to activate torpedo protection once the BBs are staggered away?
how do i tell thats happening
The boss's skill popup
my bb's shoot after she activates the skill
I guess your BBs aren't faster than 20s by enough
Hold the BB salvos for the first 30 seconds to avoid that
Here the boss activates cannon protection for the first 2 minutes because the BBs are hitting it. After the BBs start to shoot early enough, the missiles force torpedo protection

I tried Biszwei NJ Vanguard Plymouth Aurora Changchun but the torpedo protection was inconsistent and NJ did less than half of biszwei and it took 8 minutes
Just in case, this picture means that Ulrich is flagship
oh
was using bismarck as flagship
just for insight, i dont have all the UR and event limited gear from the pics
so im using what im assuming is the next best thing

sorry for the intrusion but
the 1 number means flagship?

i haven't seen anything asides from cannon protection
and my aurora is still too low level wise
same with my DDG's
both at 120
can anything be done?
120 should be enough, you probably mistimed. Missiles must be 20 seconds
20.7s
haven't seen anything lower than that
aurora is a big problem tho
level 107
she's... kinda dead mid battle most of the time
can helena work instead of aurora?
yup, tried again and same problem
aurora doesn't survive
DDGs will need autoloader or goldburn, and give aurora rudder and toolkit. helena is a lot worse
the oxytorp
i think i did something wrong
added the loader but now they shoot at 19.8s
just when the main fleet starts blasting they already used the missiles

sounds like your main fleet are mistimed
BBs must be faster or slower than 20s
do you understand the point of the missiles?
how do you know it's 20.6 or 19.8
i go into gear before entering battle and that's what appears
gear screen doesn't show chang chun's 12% rld buff or the missile's 0.3s volley time
it should probably be around 20.1 or 20.2 on the gear screen
get the missiles right and manually delay the BB's first salvo by 10s and then maybe gg
oh the oxytorps had reload
that's why it went up over 20 again
huh
i can only hope now
24 times before this one

i did it
i could give you a kiss rn bro
thanks
