Pushing through w14 at the moment while no event on and the fleets are struggling. So I'm looking for what I should do to proceed (pics incoming)

#

Boss Fleet

#

Mob fleet

#

Problem is Shima dies around the fourth or fifth match even while in the middle, and the rest of the 0ammo fights take much longer (had to wait till safe to get 3* on 14-1)

#

#

Options as follows

#

Is it just a matter of getting shima to 120/125? Or should I look to redesign the whole fleet?

jolly birch Jan 20, 2024, 11:34 PM

#

bad gear but some of the ship choices don't help either

#

shim has 3 out of 6 correct gear, and 5 levels from 120 means 10% worse survival and using oxytorp is another 14%

#

illustrious seems terrible when you have a level 125 aquila available

#

same with javelin vs felix

#

Shimanto is very good at making your main fleet not burn to death

blazing dagger Jan 20, 2024, 11:36 PM

#

~~If Shima's looking like that I'm kinda curious about other's ships gear~~

#

Maybe there's some room for improvement in there too

Mista Euphor are you alive? UniSip

mild rose Jan 20, 2024, 11:45 PM

#

Sorry, it didn't give me a notification.

#

Lusty was to keep the whole fleet alive, I didn't think aquila would compare to having the three ship shield, but I can try (assuming aquila heal mode)
And you're right, shima is least well equipped of the fleet as she is relatively new.

blazing dagger Jan 20, 2024, 11:48 PM

#

Give shima the 76mm Gun

mild rose Jan 20, 2024, 11:48 PM

#

Both main fleets rarely get low, it's the vanguard that get decimated (on auto)

blazing dagger Jan 20, 2024, 11:48 PM

#

Also a Quad Mags if you are not gonna be doing manual torping

random tips

never pick up flares
get lighthouse quickly
stagger all main fleet damage, they should not be attacking at the same time
14-3 and 14-4 have enemy submarines in reconnaissance nodes

#

i never liked triple DD

#

they're too fast and ram into enemies, losing a lot of hp

blazing dagger Jan 20, 2024, 11:49 PM

#

jolly birch random tips 1. never pick up flares 2. get lighthouse quickly 3. stagger all mai...

~~Imma save this for myself too~~

jolly birch Jan 20, 2024, 11:50 PM

#

~~you haven't passed 14 yet?~~

blazing dagger Jan 20, 2024, 11:50 PM

#

~~Been busy with some stuff~~

mild rose Jan 20, 2024, 11:50 PM

#

Nope, every time I go to do it an event pops up or I don't have time

blazing dagger Jan 20, 2024, 11:51 PM

#

Anyways I think Stig got you covered for now

#

Any other questions? UniSip

mild rose Jan 20, 2024, 11:52 PM

#

#

Been getting gear pics, but phone lagging, just restarting

#

So swap in Felix and aquila, then give shima the fast gun

blazing dagger Jan 20, 2024, 11:54 PM

#

Wait did you say your vanguard dies too fast?

#

Double Torp Unzen kinda explains it

jolly birch Jan 20, 2024, 11:55 PM

#

Fdg Aquila uni Felix shimanto plus someone high level, Otto I guess

#

Boss ships can stay but the gear is not ideal

jolly birch Jan 20, 2024, 11:56 PM

#

jolly birch Fdg Aquila uni Felix shimanto plus someone high level, Otto I guess

Otto now or you can get Shimakaze to level 120+

blazing dagger Jan 20, 2024, 11:56 PM

#

I feel like Hinden and Unzen are gonna be too squishy, correct me if I'm wrong

jolly birch Jan 20, 2024, 11:56 PM

#

Correct you

#

Unzen is Portland tankiness, won't have problem off tank

#

*If not oxytorp

#

But that requires boss to die in a reasonable time, which the gear does not do

mild rose Jan 20, 2024, 11:58 PM

#

jolly birch Jan 20, 2024, 11:59 PM

#

How many wyverns and 457mms do you have

mild rose Jan 20, 2024, 11:59 PM

#

Hindenburg dies before unzen, even while in mid

mild rose Jan 21, 2024, 12:01 AM

#

jolly birch How many wyverns and 457mms do you have

#

#

One of each

#

So what's Shimanto supposed to do in w14 I didn't think planes were a threat?

#

blazing dagger Jan 21, 2024, 12:05 AM

#

I'm guessing it's for the fleet wide Burn Cleanse/ Extinguish

jolly birch Jan 21, 2024, 12:05 AM

#

🚒

#

I'll make something for you to copy

#

@mild rose ignore the enhancement levels And ship affinity, if you don't have enough flapjacks the replace with tigercat=seahornet>hellcat. If not enough roombas replace with twin 90 or sextuple

mild rose Jan 21, 2024, 12:37 AM

#

I'll give it a go in about an hour or so, thanks

mild rose Jan 21, 2024, 1:38 AM

#

So Aquila and NJ as flag? Or is it FdG and Implac as flag?

jolly birch Jan 21, 2024, 1:39 AM

#

number 1 is flag, so fdg and implac

#

number 1 in vanguard is main tank

mild rose Jan 21, 2024, 1:41 AM

#

Huh? Felix can tank? Never tried that

jolly birch Jan 21, 2024, 1:43 AM

#

better than otto

mild rose Jan 21, 2024, 1:49 AM

#

For implac...

#

134 aa gun for fire-power or STAAG for +hit? I notice you got all +hit so I'm assuming it's better

jolly birch Jan 21, 2024, 2:12 AM

#

10 hit is almost always better than 15 fp for BBs

#

implacable almost never uses a dive bomber, but she's the only CV and campaign wants some splash damage so tenrai is best

mild rose Jan 21, 2024, 2:25 AM

#

Cool, also, is converging tops just bad in w14? They seem to go in random directions (as with HVAR) is common torps better?

#

W h o o p s

So I cleaned out the fleets when I went to take pics of the box and uhhh... forgot to redo the sub fleet.

Should I use IX's or standard subs here?

mild rose Jan 21, 2024, 2:47 AM

#

So far so good, autos on 14-1 fine, barely a scratch and 14-2 full map with 75% hp remaining on both fleets.
Thankyoy

jolly birch Jan 21, 2024, 3:03 AM

#

14-3 is where things get hard because you have to bring asw, decreasing vanguard survival, and the enemy nodes are also built different

jolly birch Jan 21, 2024, 3:04 AM

#

mild rose Cool, also, is converging tops just bad in w14? They seem to go in random direct...

i myself just run parallel, but you don't have wyverns. Implacable can freeze enemies for herself and hit all torps once enemy concealment wears off

#

IXs explode in chapter 14+ and arbiters

#

but level 125 royal fortune works in chapter 14, at least better than level 110 subs

mild rose Jan 21, 2024, 3:13 AM

#

I git two skypirates (or whatever the one with 4 tops are) would they be decent here?

jolly birch Jan 21, 2024, 3:14 AM

#

jolly birch <@416836435425886209> ignore the enhancement levels And ship affinity, if you do...

not really, just keep this

#

because changing unicorn's barracuda to skypirate might make her too close to aquila in time
