W14 fleet

[dapper patrol]

bismark zwei is 10/10/10 and can mlb if needed, unzen is only 8/1/1
PR4 are all f5/d30 for DR4
Drake is only dev24 but i can ticker for dev25 i think

[versed pivot]

ply d25?

[dapper patrol]

21, i have 46 exchange bp tho

skills are maxed

[versed pivot]

are those s6 bps?

[dapper patrol]

26 of them yes

20 s5

[versed pivot]

either way i dont think its enough

[dapper patrol]

for dev 25 i believe not

i'd need at least double that amount for dev25

[versed pivot]

its fine not using her then

gimme a sec

[dapper patrol]

sure

i got some mats if i need gear lab stuff, but i dont have enough prints for a single rainbow ply gun

i can get as many tenrai/rainbow bb gun as needed tho, and exp ticket arent an issue either

[dapper patrol]

let's see what i can do, thanks

hope i got enough gold for the gears

[versed pivot]

drake gun on ancho is a luxury just give her smth else like chesh gun or blucher gun if u dont have it
if you lack tenrais swap yorkiis with skyraider

[dapper patrol]

sanf is the gear lab one?

[versed pivot]

kronk 2nd gun can be anything 155kai-ish sidegrade if u dont have the french one

sanf is tashgun, give her harbin gun if u dont have it or even 128 skc

if u dont have aegir's icebomb giv her torp bulge

[dapper patrol]

are sea hornet the same as f7f?

or hellcat hvar

[versed pivot]

yes, hornet works even better on haku instead of tigercat here due to timing

[dapper patrol]

otherwise i'll craft them

alr

[versed pivot]

hvar is a rocket plane kinda diff

[dapper patrol]

tbm3 core data?

[versed pivot]

no u can craft it in gearlab

[dapper patrol]

first time crafting a 457

always didnt like it since i use helena w/ bbs on opsi

[versed pivot]

its mostly used in mobbing and/or campaign because later worlds like 14/15 boss fights are more akin to mob fights

[dapper patrol]

ye it's fair

just too fast usually to sync

yorki fighter is also gear lab i suppose?

returning in this game is strange, i never saw that

[versed pivot]

which is a good thing here because u dont want every1 launching at the same time

yorkiis fighter is in gearlab yes but u can use tigercat instead

[dapper patrol]

i got only 2 tenrais

so i suppose i give thsoe in the boss fleet?

ok ye u told me that already

what's musashi main?

[versed pivot]

twin 410 kai

[dapper patrol]

is it worse than the triple 410?

[versed pivot]

no, it depends on content

[dapper patrol]

i'll craft the twin kai then

[versed pivot]

its dirt cheap anyway coz only purple mats

[dapper patrol]

mats arent the issue xD

gold is right now, i'll farm 12-4 a bit so that i can bring equip up

i suppose i can use ju instead of ryusei

for shinano

[versed pivot]

kinda works but u want haku staggered from nano

[dapper patrol]

ryusei will be

[dapper patrol]

what's harbin gun?

[versed pivot]

twin 130

from pr5

[dapper patrol]

and as for main gun?

any other choice?

or is that craftable

actually it's a proto, so i suppose it's pr6 gun?

[versed pivot]

sanfrans ?

ah fk missclicked

use unzen gun

[dapper patrol]

uhm i dont have that

i think i only logged in to pull unzen in that event

would twin 234 work? idk

[versed pivot]

ye

[dapper patrol]

is 115 on yuudachi enough or should i use tickets to 120?

[versed pivot]

i mean u could but its kinda wastefull to use xp books on good ships that are alr high lvl

you could just lvl her normally

but yea baseline is at least lv120 when tackling hard content

[dapper patrol]

alright got some gold now

si the drake gun on anchorage a must?

i have the triple 203 sk right now

[versed pivot]

[dapper patrol]

brain lag

lol

I hope auto is doable

[versed pivot]

ofc

the fleets are made with auto in mind

if u manual u dont care about timing much and theres other stuff u can mitigate

[dapper patrol]

true that

focus cl?

i died after 4 bbs with the fdg fleet, and it's only 14-3

[versed pivot]

what died

[dapper patrol]

yuudachi lol

[versed pivot]

not sure couldve been eating botes or couldve been smth else you could try aql instead of yorkii ig

ure not taking flare right

[dapper patrol]

nop

should I?

[versed pivot]

nope

[dapper patrol]

same york equip to aquil?

[versed pivot]

double fighter + wyvern

and 2x cata

fighters being 2x1000lb ofc

wait u lvled yuudachi to 120 at least right?

[dapper patrol]

ye obv

[versed pivot]

aight

[dapper patrol]

didnt even try before leveling

[dapper patrol]

nope aquila dies now

[versed pivot]

to what

bb node

?

[dapper patrol]

yep

do i have to reroll full cl?

[versed pivot]

cl = clear?

[dapper patrol]

she dies before the last mob fight

against cl i didnt' have much hp drop / fight

or is it ca, i cant tell them apart

[versed pivot]

wdym

[dapper patrol]

the node

[versed pivot]

we call em recon and bb

[dapper patrol]

oh ok

recon then

sorry for the misunderstandiing

[versed pivot]

ok so recon was doing good?

[dapper patrol]

ye

[versed pivot]

that means bb nodes were shooting

so u were lacking dmg

[dapper patrol]

but i only got like 3 recon nodes

[versed pivot]

to clear the wave in time

[dapper patrol]

i suppose so

[versed pivot]

take triple triange bb nodes when ure on ammo

and leave recon nodes for 0 ammo

[dapper patrol]

i'll try

xD just as i say that i get a 4 recon node map

[versed pivot]

its fine

[proud python]

leave large main fleets for 3 star

[versed pivot]

i thought it can full clear ( with subs ) but it cant even clear

[dapper patrol]

after a single bb node

everyone else is fine but affinity now is also bad

[proud python]

[proud python]

I call them Large Reconnaissance Fleet, Large Main Fleet, and Large Air Formation

[versed pivot]

uhhh

i might try sushi on mob

[proud python]

You gave the gear but didn't check if it was implemented 🏃‍♂️

Musashi Aquila has to be the safest

[dapper patrol]

yeah no i doubt

[versed pivot]

swap fdg and sushi

[dapper patrol]

want to see if i can somehow clear once before

[proud python]

Did you forget hedgehog

And just ignore all Main/BB enemy fleets

[dapper patrol]

nop i double checked equip

[proud python]

what I just said 20 minutes ago frfr 🏃‍♂️

[dapper patrol]

but i'd have to somehow beat 6 mobs

unless i get 6 recon mobs i'm screwed

will have to wait because my ships are tired of dying

would i avoid bb node even if 1 trangle?

[proud python]

Kill it

I think, idk

Small Cargo Fleets are usually very hard. IDK about Small Main Fleets

I don't like Kazagumo there but not much else 120. There's only one out of ammo battle and she doesn't have great "Recurring damage"

[dapper patrol]

i thought kaza was there for cv buff+asw

[proud python]

for CV buff

any other DD can also do asw

[proud python]

Just put Musashi mob with a fire extinguisher I guess

[dapper patrol]

yeah that's what im trying right now

vanguard dies at boss with that fleet

sanf -> agir -> anchorage

in this order

[proud python]

Wrong order but still how does that die

[dapper patrol]

nono

i mean that sanf dies first, then agir and lastly anchorage

[proud python]

Oh they die in that order

[dapper patrol]

yea

i think the dmg just isnt there

[proud python]

Gtg 🏃‍♂️

[versed pivot]

Wth

[proud python]

Did my 120 lindom even die

[versed pivot]

No, halp

[dapper patrol]

needless to say no ammo mob fleet won't beat the boss in any circumstance xd

it's strange

[versed pivot]

Close

[dapper patrol]

i managed to clear once with the very first fleet you told me to use

but

1 try out of 5

the other 4 mob just died with york 2

[proud python]

Glhf 🌊

[versed pivot]

Its prob a lack of +13s, lvls and stuff

Do u have cats ?

[dapper patrol]

is that that big of an issue

im not using any

[versed pivot]

Well

[dapper patrol]

i buy them and have like 80 sr cat boxes

[versed pivot]

Individually its not a big issue

[dapper patrol]

but rerolling for them is so boring

and grindy

[versed pivot]

But then u add each % and u get these big gaps in experience

Even random cats is free stats

[dapper patrol]

i suppose i can level up equip to 13

and ships to 125

[versed pivot]

Well im not saying u should +13 all gear there in the fleet tool

[dapper patrol]

right now + 13 are
the tenrais
shinano's cata
musashi table + shell

thats it

i've always been told that +13 was a scam

what other should I focus for 125/+13?

plates can be an issue, especially for planes

[proud python]

imagine having more plates than me

theres some Chinese guy with 4k of one type of plate though

[dapper patrol]

wut

i thought most people had almost endless of those plates

[versed pivot]

Consult /plus13 but for w14 the prios would be slightly diff altho not by much

[dapper patrol]

since it requires like 130? plate for a +13

[versed pivot]

Wth

Well u can also consider raising and using a subfleet and turning it ez modo

[dapper patrol]

i have a sub fleet already

if you actually mean submarines

[versed pivot]

Yea

[dapper patrol]

isn't this what everyone does?

might need a gear upgrade

[versed pivot]

well mby, its in top sub fleets

[proud python]

What's with strangers everywhere

[dapper patrol]

strangers?

[versed pivot]

No love for subs 😔

Anyway u can give em all what u81 uses at least for w14

But make it +10

[dapper patrol]

i just noticed

[versed pivot]

Call em in so they surface right before battle ends

[dapper patrol]

shouldnt i use mark?

the bidder

or w.e its called

[versed pivot]

.

[dapper patrol]

i think i was using g7e just temporary

[dapper patrol]

1 and 1?

[versed pivot]

Yea

[dapper patrol]

alright

[versed pivot]

Well ez clear now

[dapper patrol]

well i'll farm 12-4 for another couple hours i suppose

[dapper patrol]

@versed pivot sorry for the ping, would I still be leveling Aquila to 125 or york 2?

actually nvm york 2 is already 125

[versed pivot]

aql good investment for w15 aswell and URs are URs

[dapper patrol]

i mean im struggling with w14

i wonder if w15 is even doable

xD

but ye i got what you mean

[versed pivot]

prob -1 and -2 , mby idk
im just saying shes a future investment as well as helping you right now

[dapper patrol]

-1 -2?

[versed pivot]

15-1 and 15-2

[dapper patrol]

ohh

well the repeat sortie blocked tonight because of affinity, so i'll have a couple run, level gear and ships and retry today

[dapper patrol]

very lucky after the 6th fight

clear but it feels soooo lucky

[versed pivot]

oh yea for 15-3 ur fdg shouldve ran the mk7

its fine

[dapper patrol]

15-3?

you mean 14-3?

i'll change it now anyway

since i already got the mk7 +13

[versed pivot]

yea 14-3*, typo

[dapper patrol]

just to be sure, musashi in mob stays with that main gun?

and no ur aa?

not sure if planes are an issue

i got a decent amount of ur design tho

[versed pivot]

i mean if u have em use em

replace twin 90

[dapper patrol]

i dont have but i can craft lol

will do ig

[dapper patrol]

manged to make it work for a run

got destroyed at the boss in the second run

whole vg dies

do i just retry until i get it cleared?

or should i change something else?

did i maybe miss something gear wise?

Ah the augment maybe

Idk how big of a difference those do

[versed pivot]

small differences here and there make big differences

also are u calling in ur subs?

[dapper patrol]

yeah the fight I died was with subs

and I did change the gears

I thought it'd be easier to clear tbf

[versed pivot]

also ure using wrong torps on ancho

and eugen gun kinda poverty at ur stage

[dapper patrol]

oh you're right about ancho

eugen gun is?

ancho main?

[versed pivot]

the one on sanfran

[dapper patrol]

oh

what should I use instead?

I didn't have the ur gun

[versed pivot]

chesh gun or blucher gun

else algerie or roon gun ig

[dapper patrol]

chesh gun was this one right?

[versed pivot]

are u using double line on boss?

and surely ur fdg fs5 right she isnt

i test this as proof of concept and it clears subless on lethal
this with bad stagger between fdg indep coz im bad and cant be bothered to restart the run
worse alternative to sanfran and shinano
mk6 instead of mk7
no + 13 besides tenrai and fdg aux
so rly it might be tech diff (idk) and cat diff, fs diff but they should be compensated by using subs in battle
if ur vanguard gets dropped might have been flare rng or smth idk but then reset the boss fight

[versed pivot]

and dont call ur subs 2 early

[dapper patrol]

yes

[versed pivot]

if all else fails, manual im outta ideas

[dapper patrol]

iìm actually clearing 14-3

last run needed

i think the gear were the issue

uhh not gear, augment

[versed pivot]

for 14-4 switch fdg to 457

[dapper patrol]

alrighty

i think i'll reroll cats before that

i only have 2 decent cats

those 2

at least i think should be good since +fp

idk if i'd be better with AVI

[versed pivot]

lime is decent, oscar less .. neither worth rerolling

but free stats are free stats

[dapper patrol]

should I seek something in particular?

Is there a command?

[versed pivot]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide

ideally u only reroll cats that have the potential to be a 9 point or 10 point cat

initial phase is fishing for good starters which means opening boxes

[dapper patrol]

man that looks so time consumign

anyway i take up ammo but no flare on 14-4?

[versed pivot]

yea

[dapper patrol]

may i ask why no flare?

in the tutorial screen just states that u can see enemy ships

[versed pivot]

messes with detection in a bad way

[dapper patrol]

o ok then

[dapper patrol]

@versed pivot thanks

14-4 was easier than 14-3 lol

is there any chance i can also ch15?

i can level up bismark 2

and unzen but i doubt she's any useful

[versed pivot]

both good but even so

[dapper patrol]

yikes

what would i need before attempting?

so that i know what my priorities can be

[versed pivot]

125, grind aff to love no more booking strangers, +13s, work on ur tech and cats

[dapper patrol]

uhhh all of them (beside yuudachi) are 125+love

+13s on most of the gear in the chart if not all

i think that's why 14-4 felt easier

will fleet be the same? that was mostly my question

[versed pivot]

yea

no

[dapper patrol]

or if there's some draft i have to get ready

[versed pivot]

work on sandy brest ply harbin

[dapper patrol]

alr nice

[dapper patrol]

done
