First thing already wrong MutsukiHyperStare

Change shimanto depth charge to torpedo bulge

#

Most important is purple twin 410 kai for musashi

Granted, this wasn't in 15-4. It was in 15-3 or earlier

Doubt it

Laffii with +13 hedgehog can solo subs with very few leaks when having ammo, yours is +10 but you have a plane

iron slate
#

Should I consider giving Aquila a plane aux too, so that Shimanto can take Bulge?

for the same reason bz should also run 457

#

Oh, right. CVL gear only

lofty leaf
#

Only CVLs and warspite can

My 53 oil fleet gets through 5 lethal reconnaissance nodes fine with only a +13 hedgehog though

As unicorn

#

Or idk

#

My deepest condolences for the +13 nepguns though. Maybe they'll be upgradeable to ply gun in 2 years to recover the gold plates

#

And besides, timing is only for buffs such as Vanguard's or Helena's anyway. No other reason to sync

#

Stagger = desync = good in campaign

#

For example, if an enemy DD launches torpedoes 8 seconds after she spawns, then stagger makes it more likely for that DD to be dead within 8 seconds

iron slate
#

Yeah, I get that. If your CV's kill an enemy after a BB has already aimed at them, then that shot is wasted. Otherwise the BB can aim at someone that's still alive and not under attack

#

I'll try Shimanto with Bulge, and Bis2 and Musashi with the aforementioned main gun changes. Hopefully Laffey 2 and Unikai can manage submarines on their own. Maybe part of why they couldn't is because of all the BB shots I was wasting for no real reason

#

More time fighting = more chances for you to take damage. Offense is the best defense

lofty leaf
#

You can try changing bisz to NJ

iron slate
#

Isn't NJ worse?

lofty leaf
#

They're about the same here, NJ has better AA

iron slate
#

Oh, but actually, she has a barrage that's independent from her main gun shots. She has more spread out damage

#

Which as established before is important in mobbing

can confirm nj yorkii painleve - brest jda sandy finish bosses consistently

lofty leaf
#

Yes, yes, wrong

iron slate
#

Like, there's a zone where backline AA guns will fire on planes in, but they'll cross over that much more quickly than they'd cross over a front line's AA guns

pastel sapphire
#

460AA+130%eff is big for a BB

lofty leaf
#

Main fleet standard AA guns are averaged with the vanguard's AA and also part of the vanguard AA circle

iron slate
#

Then maybe NJ could better protect Volga and York2

iron slate

#

its the opposite of completely separate

iron slate
#

Maybe I got that backline zone confused with where CV's will start having their spotted meter increase

#

I'll go ahead and try NJ over Bis2 then. She still wants 457, right?

lofty leaf
iron slate
#

What secondary gun does NJ want here?

burnt stirrup
#

137 mk1

iron slate
#

Seems like she can't equip Nep guns

#

So the same gun she'd equip for PvP. That's convenient

#

Well then, made some changes, cleared up some misconceptions, learned some stuff. I'll go try 15-4 again. What I won't do (yet at least) is swap out Volga for Klaudia, maybe the other changes can make that not necessary. Maybe NJ can save her, for instance. But thank you for the advice regardless

#

Actually, one last thing. Despite backline AA being at the same time as front line AA, does Unikai still want STAAG? Shouldn't she have a proper AA gun?

#

BB's like Musashi and NJ are more understandable in this regard, I think

burnt stirrup
#

yes all backlines want staag, the hit is valuable

lofty leaf
#

Staag is good since unicorn has damage thatll benefit from hit and has weak AA anyways
