ok
blazing solar
this is what i had tried before fleet 1 being mob i was raising soyuz before cant remember who i was gonna replace though it was per someone elses advice
let me know what gear you need to see but i think this was about the best i had last time someone helped out with the setups
grim turtle
there's quite a few improvements to be made obviosuly
honestley it's not terrible though
though there's a few obvious improvements to be made
first things first, Sandy and Cheshire
do you not have better options than them?
because they don't really do much in W14, Cheshire especially
planes are not the main threat in W14
blazing solar
uhh let me see who would be some replacements i can see what i got or ii can just show the whole box if if you want
grim turtle
just post your dock of URs and SRs
grim turtle
is your Shimakaze 6 stars?
blazing solar
ya
grim turtle
Mob: FDG, Unicorn, Saratoga, Laffey 2, Shimakaze, San Diego
Boss: UvH, Soyuz/Owari, Enterprise, Anchorage, Unzen, Guam
that should improve the fleet situation a bit
by the way, Volga will be better than Saratoga for this if you level her up for this
also just to clarify, your research focus is currently on PR4 yes?
blazing solar
kk i can start working on volga as well and i was trying to finish hindenburg off but i can just swap to pr4 if agir is a bigger prio
grim turtle
how close are you right now to a Dev 30 Hindenburg?
because unless you're super close
Dev 30 Agir, Fs5 Haku, and a 2nd Tenrai absolutely take priority
blazing solar
ya kinda far i fucked up dumping too much finishing kersage instead of splitting them evenly shes dev 24 atm
grim turtle
yeah absolutely switch back to PR4
blazing solar
alright
grim turtle
as for gear, so you basically have nothing and right now can't craft anything from the gear lab yes?
blazing solar
uh i can check but ya i doubt it i have done a tiny bit of opsi but i dont even think i finished the tutorial yet tbh think im on ch2 of it or some shit
blazing solar
this tenrai?
grim turtle
yes
blazing solar
does it not refresh since i hadnt fully bought it out 
grim turtle
UR gear prints never refresh from there
blazing solar
ah ok
grim turtle
okay so bottom line is, you need at least 2 of these for your BBs
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_155mm_(3rd_Year_Type)_Kai
they're needed to intercept the ramming ships with a ton of HP
blazing solar
thats from gear lab?
blazing solar
what should my priority be for that stuff? kinda stopped buying anything after the 3 bb guns and the plane
blazing solar
kk
i might be able to selector one of the mats idr i think i have some stuff in the depot let me look
also that was shima gear idk if i need a diff aa maybe
grim turtle
gimme a sec, working on a gear recc right now
blazing solar
kk
ya i can get a few but not enough ill need to farm a bit for that was there a way to target farm these gold mats or i just gotta run opsi in general
grim turtle
mainly run OpSi in general
you get a few selector designs like that from the shop each month
but the rest is RNG drops
here's the recc
a few minor changes overall to make things a bit better and the 155 kais
here's what Volga's gear would look like
her torpedo bomber is also from the gear lab
oh I actually forget you had a Hindenburg gun
Unzen gets it while Anchorage gets Unzen's gun
blazing solar
thats hinden gun?
grim turtle
she'd probably replace UvH
oh and by the way, getting your sub fleet leveled up would also help quite a bit for W14
blazing solar
grim turtle
if you're willing you can grind U-37 from the Inverted Orthant WAs and with her U-96, and U-81 you have one of the best sub fleets in the game
blazing solar
ya i was using this idk if thats best or what but im sure my gear is wack
grim turtle
gear could absolutely be better
but the main issue is that your torps are not enhanced and your subs are only level 100
blazing solar
if you're willing you can grind U-37 from the Inverted Orthant WAs and with her ...
this was one of the events you can do whenever?
grim turtle
kinda
you do need War Archive keys to be able to clear stages in it after all
but yes
it is in the War Archives
blazing solar
kk ya i think im capped on them
it still uses oil though ya i can start working on it after event
grim turtle
yeah
not necessary but your main fleets are a bit lacking a good sub fleet can come in clutch
blazing solar
kk ill probably try some without and start working on that on the side could you should a gear setup for the subs too?
grim turtle
the main thing would be to get some more Snorkels and Oxy Hulls to be able to equip all 3 subs
but I doubt you'd be able to improve much on your torps currently so just sticking with what you have for now fine, just +10 them
and the aux guns can really just be whatever
blazing solar
kk i have to get snorkels from core data shop right?
blazing solar
was pressure hull in core data too? i dont see it unless its called something else
blazing solar
ah i had already bought one this month
blazing solar
ya i can maybe snag another snorkel at least before it resets
grim turtle
if you don't have enough to equip your subs when you try again just use Gold Oxy Torps in their place
blazing solar
kk were those the best out of those options?
grim turtle
Pretty much
blazing solar
alright well ill give that setup a try thanks for the help
i got to like 14 3 with the shitty setup so hopefully this will get me there would i be able to use these teams for ch15 too or its completely different
grim turtle
W15 is a very different affair
You would need a different set up and much much better gear
blazing solar
where were these from didnt see in gear lab
grim turtle
They aren't
If you don't have them
Just use whatever good DD guns you have on hand
blazing solar
blazing solar
kk
blazing solar
oh idk how much it matters but i should use double line formation for this?
