#

Should I start by posting my Carriers?

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 2:46 AM

#

Well

#

Frankly I think the first question we'd need to ask is, do you have HVAR hellcats

#

Cos otherwise carriers may no longer the the best option

#

Well anyways I'd say post your backline options anyways

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 2:48 AM

#

nyet

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 2:48 AM

#

Yeah then carriers may not be the best

#

Let's see what you have anyways
For backline options

#

Maybe we can push it down to a consistent 3HKO
Or even 2HKO

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 2:49 AM

#

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 2:51 AM

#

Hmm

#

Yeah you're better off with BBs

#

Definitely better off with a BB comp

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 2:51 AM

#

NJ, Ulrich and Friedrich?

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 2:51 AM

#

NJ UvH FdG yes

#

As for frontline

#

Yeah I think just swapping Unzen out would be the best step for the time being

#

Possibly for Plymouth

#

Or Harbin

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 2:53 AM

#

plymouth isn't maxed out as of yet, but she is lvl 120

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 2:54 AM

#

Dev level?

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 2:55 AM

#

20

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 2:55 AM

#

Hmm

#

Maybe

woeful salmon Jul 31, 2024, 2:56 AM

#

ehhhhhh

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 2:56 AM

#

Could we see your vanguard opions
There should be something better

woeful salmon Jul 31, 2024, 2:56 AM

#

would say at least 25 before she's used purely for utility since she'd have all of her bulk by then

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 2:56 AM

#

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 2:57 AM

#

Might it be better to just go ancho, blaster?

#

So Ancho, Helena, Laff2

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 2:58 AM

#

what guns should I slap on Ancho, or doesn't it matter?

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:00 AM

#

Well it does matter to an extent (just give her good HE CA guns)

#

The bigger issue is the backline gearing

#

Could you gear your 3 BBs for light armour?

#

So HE main guns

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:02 AM

#

all with the Mk6

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:02 AM

#

Aight lets see them

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:04 AM

#

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:05 AM

#

@woeful salmon does that sync? NagaThonk I got a feeling UvH's faster reloads might mess up the fcr

woeful salmon Jul 31, 2024, 3:08 AM

#

her off flag gimmick works fine with the HSFCR as long as everyone else has simillar gear, just the usual part where her gimmick lets her squeeze another shot in between sync salvos

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:09 AM

#

Yeah I think you'll have comfortable consistent 3HKO

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:10 AM

#

as in 3 sorties?

#

alright 521k damage first sortie

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:11 AM

#

If anything, I suppose we can tweak frontline gear

#

If it's still missing 3

#

Does the battle end early?

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:12 AM

#

uhhhh I didn't notice? I can't remember if time ran out or if my front died

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:12 AM

#

Oh

#

Oh no...

#

Yeah that's

#

Definitely not helping

#

Anchorage in particular

woeful salmon Jul 31, 2024, 3:12 AM

#

Yeesh those Aux choices on Laffey II and Ancho

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:12 AM

#

Actually no Laff is just as egregious

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:13 AM

#

Have I committed a cardinal sin?

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:13 AM

#

Well

#

Generally CAs want rudders, DDs want toolboxes

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:13 AM

#

thats news to me

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:13 AM

#

In short, we usually compensate for the stat they lack

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:13 AM

#

this is unchanged from the previous Meta

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:13 AM

#

CAs lack evasion, so they want evasion gear more

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:13 AM

#

and I was told that evasion was important

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:14 AM

#

So you'll want to have the rudder on Anchorage

#

As opposed to Laffey 2

#

As for the other auxiliary well

#

That could be debatable for this current meta

#

Hmm

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:15 AM

#

I slapped the Eagle Union Damage Control on laffey

woeful salmon Jul 31, 2024, 3:15 AM

#

minor plover and I was told that evasion was important

For CLs, CAs, and CBs yes
DDs have high enough EVA stat that EVA Gear has much more diminished returns on them compared to other vanguards

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:15 AM

#

I'd say
Laffey2 wants toolbox + pearl's tears
Helena can stick with her current load out
Anchorage gets rudder + damage control

Anchorage should die last cos of her armour type

woeful salmon Jul 31, 2024, 3:15 AM

#

^

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:16 AM

#

I'd go as far to say as

#

Slot Laffey2 as main tank, Anchorage as off tank, Helena sandwiched

#

At least to maximise Helena's retro skill

#

That boosts evasion for last ship if it's US

#

The only other thing of note is Laffey2's main gun

#

I'm positive you have something better

#

Twin 127 is only best against heavy after all...

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:17 AM

#

alright lemme check

#

the Twin 127mm is HE?

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:20 AM

#

It is, but it's not a particularly good gun for other armour types

#

Even as a poverty options

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:21 AM

#

my HE dd guns kinda suck

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:21 AM

#

Don't have to be HE

#

Normal works too

#

Actually

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:21 AM

#

Also got the single 127mm

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:21 AM

#

Hell, ammo type doesn't even matter that much for DD guns anyways

#

I'm assuming you don't have any gear lab options

#

Or event guns?

#

If so, your best option is the twin 120 lying there

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:23 AM

#

I mean I've got mats to craft gear lab guns

#

I haven't gotten to the point of the game where I have to make sure everything is the best

#

I can make twin 137mms

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:23 AM

#

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/DD_Guns.jpeg

#

I'm assuming you missed the Alsace event

#

So no twin 138.6

#

Mk7 is more important than the 100kai

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:25 AM

#

aight I'll make the 114mm when I can

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:25 AM

#

Gold Twin 128 if you had to craft any for Laff2

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:25 AM

#

no I have alsace event

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:25 AM

#

Oh

#

Then use that

#

DunktsukiStare

#

Actually if you were around for Alsace event, where is Alsace

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:26 AM

#

alsace event had the rainbow gun yeah?

#

womp womp

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:26 AM

#

Oof

#

She probably should be the priority for your rainbow bulins

#

Unless you have other non MLB URs

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:27 AM

#

minor plover alsace event had the rainbow gun yeah?

Yep

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:27 AM

#

Is this the gun?

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:29 AM

#

spring path Unless you have other non MLB URs

I have quite a few....

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:30 AM

#

minor plover Is this the gun?

Yes

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

minor plover I have quite a few....

Well it isn't quite the issue we were discussing, but would you like some inputs anyways?

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

alright 590k in that sortie

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

At least, who to prioritise

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

spring path Well it isn't quite the issue we were discussing, but would you like some inputs...

always

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

Let's see em

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

I'm really mad I;m missing 1 Algerie Meta crystal...

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:32 AM

#

PortDoll

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:32 AM

#

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:32 AM

#

Uwu

#

I wanted to see the last row the most though

#

EssexAAAAAAAAA

#

Cos I need to see the stars lmao

#

Really it's either Alsace or Soyuz

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:33 AM

#

Alsace and Mog are 3.

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:33 AM

#

Soyuz is 4?

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:33 AM

#

Soyuz is... 4 at least

#

5, she's 5

#

so only Alsace and Mog are my 3 star URs.

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:34 AM

#

Yeah then the priority would be Soyuz

Are you able to get any other rainbow bulins in the spec core shop at the moment?

#

If yes, then I think you should proceed to MLB Soyuz

Otherwise might be best to hold off in case we get some busted UR with JP Anniversary

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:35 AM

#

I have tonnes or cores for that yeah

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:35 AM

#

Oh damn

#

Then yeah Soyuz MLB

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:35 AM

#

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:35 AM

#

Then you could replace FdG with Soyuz

#

MutsukiHyperStare

#

Good lord

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:36 AM

#

I have yet to find a use for them other than Bullins

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:36 AM

#

I mean

#

That is their main purpose

#

Considering you don't have all your URs mlb

#

But well

#

31k is almost 8 rainbow bulins, and there's 3 there

#

Soyuz uses 2

#

Alsace and Mog would need 4 each

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:37 AM

#

I already have 3 bullins already

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:37 AM

#

Soyuz MLB for now should be your immediate project

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:37 AM

#

Is she THAT good?

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:38 AM

#

Soyuz and Alsace outclass all the UR BBs you're using by a non negligible amount

#

WarZoom

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:38 AM

#

NJ my beloved BelCry

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:38 AM

#

NJ kinda got dunked on ye

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:38 AM

#

so THATS why she's free for every 400 summons

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:39 AM

#

I mean

#

Shinano is free every 400 summons and she's currently still meta

#

It's more of UR BB powercreep is insane

#

A bit oof that you missed Vanguard from last week though

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:40 AM

#

who was that?

#

I might have em

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:41 AM

#

Her

#

She just reran

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:42 AM

#

I might have her?

#

I don't keep up with the meta so she might just be lavishing at lvl 1

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:43 AM

#

minor plover

If this is all your URs then no

#

You don't got her

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:43 AM

#

Oh she's UR?

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:43 AM

#

Yep

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:44 AM

#

yeah RIP

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:44 AM

#

Well it's a shame

#

But oh well

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:44 AM

#

Is she that good?

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:45 AM

#

Her damage is higher than NJ and co

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:45 AM

#

oof

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:45 AM

#

But not as high as Soyuz and Alsace

#

Instead she has higher support capabilities

#

Think of her as the Helena of BBs
Without the rng

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:45 AM

#

can't believe they did NJ dirty

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:45 AM

#

Nonetheless

#

We play with the cards we are dealt with

#

For now I would suggest MLB-ing Soyuz and then Alsace once Soyuz is maxed out

#

They should make noticeable improvements to your BB teams

#

So you'll end up with something like

#

Soyuz Alsace NJ for your BB boss fleets

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:46 AM

#

her skills are maxed already if that makes a difference

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:46 AM

#

Both of them?

#

I mean ultimately they're still missing levels

#

So you won't use them for Wichita immediately

#

But when you do well

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:48 AM

#

Alsace isn't maxed out on skills

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:48 AM

#

I expect your Wichita damage to cross 700k for solo battles (with the improved supporting fire lol)

#

So that brings you into 2HKO range

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:49 AM

#

cheers, that set up was for the previous META... which I think was Jintsuu?

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:49 AM

#

Rodney

#

Before that was Kirov

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:49 AM

#

ah

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:49 AM

#

I don't have the best comp myself (using Alsace Soyuz Vanguard with MK6s)
And I'm hitting 700k consistently without supporting fire
So definitely possible for you to hit 2HKO range

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:50 AM

#

huzzah

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:50 AM

#

Give it 1-2 weeks I suppose

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:50 AM

#

I might I nearly have all of the crystals I need

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:50 AM

#

Alsace and Soyuz are also incredibly good for operation siren too

#

Putting aside the fact you have a new BB fleet

#

Allowing you to shift FdG and even UvH to mob

#

Alsace and Soyuz also have the best cross fleet barrages in the game

#

So they'll rain hell even when not on field

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:52 AM

#

oh you use only 1 fleet for OpSir?

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:52 AM

#

Well you can use 4

#

But the point was moreso it definitely helps even when they're not actively in battle

#

Whether you are mobbing or using your carrier fleet

#

Speaking of which

#

May want to consider grabbing August van Parseval from PR4

#

Would definitely help your carrier fleet

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:54 AM

#

I'm currently researching agir... I think

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:55 AM

#

PR4 is peak after all

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:55 AM

#

how do you quickly fulfill the exp requirements for researching PR ships?

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:56 AM

#

Honestly the exp is the easy part NotLikeAtago

#

Anwyays, camp in w12

#

Whether 12-1 or 12-4

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:57 AM

#

this has taken me a while

#

Should I only have 1 backline or?

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:57 AM

#

Nah

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 3:57 AM

#

like how do I expedite this process?

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 3:58 AM

#

I mean

#

Run 12-4 with full fleet
In this case, full German frontline, backline doesn't matter

#

Profit

#

That's how you expedite

#

But if you feel stressed out by it well

#

Maybe just do it on the side

#

It's not like you can dev 30 them immediately

#

Or d25 for Agir's case

minor plover Jul 31, 2024, 4:01 AM

#

alright, cheers

spring path Jul 31, 2024, 4:02 AM

#

German frontliners do kinda suck mostly

#

So

#

LeanderEhh

#

It do be like that
