This way better

severe swan
#

I didn’t know I could make a thread with the initial post— I appreciate it

shrewd silo
#

No worries. MLB portland first of all

#

Also retro uni asap

severe swan
#

Oh yeah, okay!

shrewd silo
#

Erebus meta is garbage. You should be using pennsylvania/nelson/hood

severe swan
#

Oh really! I didn’t know!

shrewd silo
#

Who u have in medal shop? Have you got this month’s already?

severe swan
shrewd silo
#

What hull type is it?

severe swan
#

Light cruiser

#

At least that’s what it says SSR light cruiser

shrewd silo
#

Hmmm…. Not ideal. Wanted a BB

severe swan
#

Only three more days until the reset though

#

So I could get it in a few days

shrewd silo
#

Oh well u dont have many options so u can keep erebus meta for now I guess or get penny from guild shop and level her. Are u close to finishing the rookie missions?

severe swan
#

I am about to finish the rookies missions

#

The last one I have is to upgrade gear but im not sure which one to pour resources into

shrewd silo
#

Any gear that you use you should upgrade to 6 at least. Anything decent +10

severe swan
#

These are the ones I have currently

torp is an easy pick that is generally obvious

severe swan
inner patio
#

turn on equipped

severe swan
#

Sorry!

shrewd silo
#

When medal shops resets next month get enterprise in CV or Hood in BB if that is an option. Get the other one from rookie missions once u finish them.

severe swan
#

I really appreciate all the help, it means a lot— I will make sure to do that

shrewd silo
#

The triple 406 mk6 is an easy choice to upgrade. U will be using that gun a lot

severe swan
#

Do I have any other that are also of note?

#

Weapons are quite intimidating tbh

inner patio
#

catapult and gold dd gun are safe choices

#

purple barracuda is safe to +6

shrewd silo
inner patio
#

naval camo is safe

severe swan
#

So if a weapon is okay +6 is fine and not a waste of resources and +10 if I use them a ton?

inner patio
#

i would probably cope with purple triple mag

#

that should be enough for 20 enhances

severe swan
inner patio
#

yes +6. i doubt you have more than 30 or 40 purple parts anyway

severe swan
#

Yeah that’s true I don’t have much, I will be doing that then!

shrewd silo
#

I dont remember what the rookie mission wants. But +6 is okay for most gear right now. U can take stuff to +10 once u know u will use them a lot mid game. Like the ones @inner patio recommended

severe swan
#

The rookie missions is only to upgrade 20 times— so I will be pouring it into those suggestions somewhat! Thank you for your time and everything guys— makes it a lot easier to understand!

shrewd silo
#

I wouldnt change the fleet u are using tbh. Just change erebus as soon as u get a decent BB. Penny is available now if u want to switch today. If not nelson and hood u will get soon.

#

Rest of the fleet is okay. Make sure portland is in tank position

severe swan
#

Also what is BB?

shrewd silo
#

Battleship

severe swan
#

Got it!

#

Tank position is front left correct

#

Like when looking at it it’s the left

shrewd silo
#

When u get to chapter 9 u can start working on a second fleet. Good choices u have or will have soon are hood enterprise nelson saratoga

But u can just make another thread at that point.

severe swan
#

Alright I will keep all of this in mind! Thank you for your time, it means a lot

shrewd silo
#

Read sam’s guide on research. I dont wanna explain it all xD but if u are confused about it just ask.

TLDR focus PR4. Dont research 1-3

severe swan
#

Got it! You’re a goat

Also you have the twin 410BB gun. That's good on all the on-fire barrage BBs. So the 406 on Penny and the 410 on Nelson retrofit.

#

Other ships you have that are worth retrofitting IMO are in order for me.. Unicorn, Portland, (your starter ship), Nelson, Saratoga, San Diego, Shropshire, Helena, maybe Warspite after all those. LOL.

You will need a tank for your Mob fleet eventually since you'll want Portland on your boss fleet. Phoenix can do the job until you get someone better.

I second the advice on Hood and Enterprise. Enterprise is awesome through the whole game and you'll need a BC for hard mode and Hood is the most accessible. Sam's guides are great too.

Also, I didn't do this and wish I had, but start 3 star clearing every hard mode map right after you finish the chapter on normal mode. It's not really "hard". You'll want the retro prints and core data it awards.

#

Don't stop to farm ships or gear. Try to get to chapter 9 ASAP. Good luck!

shrewd silo
#

I only disagree on the warspite. Not worth the gold,bulin and 2k spec core cost of the retrofit

#

Same thing with san diego tbh even tho sandy is still relevant in later chapters especially if u dont have guam and laffey ii. But for now just leave em be. U can do it later for collection if u want.

# shrewd silo I only disagree on the warspite. Not worth the gold,bulin and 2k spec core cost ...

I can't disagree when you take cost into account regarding Warspite. That's why she's last. I only mentioned her because he already has her. Sometimes it's hard to get a decent off-flag sheller. (In a couple months when he gets into OpSi he'll want four of them. Not to mention PvP). So after he gets far enough along he can reevaluate. After he's at level 9 and has two decent fleets Sandi is probably worth it for guns, AA, and her ASW. Since he doesn't have Laffy 2 or Guam, Sandi can be great in 13-15.

But I tend to think and plan ahead. If you guys just prefer to flag the obvious chap 1-9 ships, I understand.

I see the warspite thing is quite complicated— it will take a while to build the others anyways :) appreciate it all thank you both!
