4th fleet can be whatever

[leaden kiln]

like that?

[agile pilot]

yes

[leaden kiln]

thx

[agile pilot]

and remember

normal arbiter you can leave, heal, and come back without losing progress

[leaden kiln]

how can i know if its normal or not

[agile pilot]

one it'll say normal

two, you don't unlock hard arbiter until after you beat normal

[leaden kiln]

oh ok thx

how long do i need to play to be as good as u

[agile pilot]

to match the state of my account

it's gonna be years

[leaden kiln]

how about ur understanding of the game

[agile pilot]

uhhh

give it a few months of just familiarizing yourself of what's good against what and a bit of the why

[leaden kiln]

but how can i know wht is good on wht

i dont think i even know 1% of the good things

[agile pilot]

like I said, after just being around and listening to what's said here and reading guides you start to understand

here's the quick and dirty for Battleships though

against light armor use HE main guns, Mk7 is preferable but if you don't have them use the Mk6

against medium and heavy armor you usually want the Champagne gun, Soyuz gun, or Flandre gun

on occasion the 457

for mobbing the 457 is the go to

not none what I just said applies to Musashi because wants IJN main guns

[leaden kiln]

mk6 is this one?

[agile pilot]

no

the purple one

for CVs
against single target choose the aircraft which does the most damage against that armor type

[leaden kiln]

this?

[agile pilot]

yes

[leaden kiln]

so techly theres only a few wep that is good in game rest are just uelses?

[agile pilot]

no

those are just the best of what's commonly available

[leaden kiln]

wt are champagne gun,soyuz gun , flandre gun

[agile pilot]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_406mm_(Mle_1938_Prototype)

[leaden kiln]

oh so the iris gun

[agile pilot]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_380mm_(Mle_1935_Prototype)

[leaden kiln]

this is a blue gun

i should craft 2 of them right since i have enough?

[agile pilot]

for CVs with flex slots, it's
Light: HVAR > La-9 > Bf-109G > Converging TBs
Medium: La-9 > Bf-109G > HVAR > Converging TBs
Heavy: converging TBs > Tenrai > Helldiver

[agile pilot]

do you have 3 champaign guns and.or the soyuz gun

for campaign you'd use Flapjacks, Hellcats, etc instead of rocket fighters
and Wyverns, Breguets, and Spearfishes over converging TBs usually

because you need the intercept and AoE

[leaden kiln]

ya i can make 2 more now i got 1 already

[agile pilot]

I would just save the mats for now and craft 2 Flandre Guns

[leaden kiln]

but i have more then enough to craft them

oh wait i dont

wt is flandre gun

[agile pilot]

that

[agile pilot]

and there is an SR version of that gun

from Soyuz's event

[leaden kiln]

this?

so this better then the blue?

[leaden kiln]

so i craft them now?

[agile pilot]

yes

[agile pilot]

yes, it's a direct upgrade in every way

[agile pilot]

yes

[leaden kiln]

so this gun is for facing mid and heavy armor?

[agile pilot]

yes

[leaden kiln]

how about this one do i still need to craft them later on?

[agile pilot]

I would still craft one or 2 later down the line

but it's a low priority

[leaden kiln]

how about this n the black one wht is the difference

[agile pilot]

the stats they give

and to a lesser extent the skills

black shell only gives Firepower

White shell doesn't give as much Firepower but it gives hit which usually makes it better

[leaden kiln]

hit as in like aoe?

or hit as in like combo hit

[agile pilot]

hit as in the stat

it's also called accuracy

they're both the same thing

[leaden kiln]

oh ok

[agile pilot]

since you seem to be unfamiliar let me explain what exactly hit does

[leaden kiln]

i see somtimes it "miss" or "dodge"

[agile pilot]

in-game, even you hit an enemy with a bomb, torp, or bullet

[leaden kiln]

hit increats the hit rate right?

[agile pilot]

they have a chance to take no damage by evading it

[agile pilot]

yes

note though it does not help with geometric accuracy

[leaden kiln]

wt is that

[agile pilot]

it's getting bomb/bullet/torp to actually hit the enemy in the first place

you know you sometimes see BBs missing shots because the enemy is moving around a lot

that's the lack of geometric accuracy

[leaden kiln]

oh like actually landing the shot

[agile pilot]

yes

[leaden kiln]

then even if it lands they still might miss

[agile pilot]

correct

[leaden kiln]

and to reduce that miss i have to add "hit" on it

[agile pilot]

it's preferable yes

as it's usually results in higher damage output

[leaden kiln]

since it miss less to equal more dmg

but when will u use the black one then?

[agile pilot]

when enemies have really low evasion stat

and/or when you have so much hit already thanks to diminishing returns the extra FP is worth more than the hit

[leaden kiln]

how do u know if they have low eva or not without looking at website n stuff

like with only ingame

[agile pilot]

but that's ina relatively minority cases

[agile pilot]

you don't

you have to look at external sources for that

but it's safe to default to the white shell

[leaden kiln]

so its a must to use external if i wnt to go deep

[agile pilot]

yes

[leaden kiln]

how about cv

how do u deal with light med heavey armor?

[agile pilot]

like I said though, enemies that have low enough EVA stat that make the black shell better than the white shell

are rare

it's pretty much just the older METAs from Hiryuu to Sharnhorst

excluding Helena

[agile pilot]

for fighter slots against single target, i.e. not campaign

[leaden kiln]

how do i know if the plans are single or multi?

say this for example

[agile pilot]

Light: HVAR > La-9 > Bf-109G > Tigercat/Flapjack/Sea Hornet
Medium: La-9 > Bf-109G > HVAR > Tigercat/Flapjack/Sea Hornet
Heavy: La-9 > Tigercat/Flapjack/Sea Hornet

[agile pilot]

rocket fighters are pretty much exclusively single target

for Divebombers
Light and Medium armor: Skyraider > Tenrai > Helldiver
Heavy: Tenrai > Skyraider

for TBs

[leaden kiln]

hvar is this right?

[agile pilot]

Saiun, Ju-87ds, Ryuuseis, and Vit-2s are the best against all armor types in TB only slots

use whichever suits your timing needs the best

[leaden kiln]

i cant get it anymore tho

[agile pilot]

for flex slots

that's why you go the 2nd or 3rd best

[agile pilot]

^

[leaden kiln]

so if they got rocket it means they mostly are single?

[agile pilot]

pretty much

you would never use rocket fighters in campaign because they can't intercept and their AoE is poor

same for converging TBs

though you do sometimes see them used in campaign

[leaden kiln]

so techly i need 3 of these

[agile pilot]

yes

but I would just wait until it get's added to the gear lab to get your 3rd one

[leaden kiln]

oh its adding to gear lab?

[agile pilot]

should be yes

[leaden kiln]

thats nice

how about dd guns

the only ones i know is

[agile pilot]

for vanguard guns I'll refer you to sam's guide

[leaden kiln]

why are some wep its only ment for that ship?

like this only ment for guam

[agile pilot]

it's not

we call it the Guam gun because that's the gun she used IRL

not because it's only used on her

[leaden kiln]

oh

why some uni goes like this

then some goes with this and the steam cat

[agile pilot]

that's an ASW plane

used when you need extra help killing subs

which is basically W14 and W15 mobs

the beacon is a timing aux

used when you need your CV to be faster and swapping planes isn't enough

[leaden kiln]

wht does swapping plane means?

[agile pilot]

remember this

[leaden kiln]

wts the difference?

[agile pilot]

they're the same

[leaden kiln]

i guess thats the jp name?

how about this when do i use it?

[agile pilot]

I have no idea where the name comes from to be honest

[agile pilot]

that's a floatplane

you only use it when floatplanes are your only option

[leaden kiln]

so its useless for me?

[agile pilot]

pretty much

[leaden kiln]

is this good to put on cv?

or cv is just better with this?

[agile pilot]

no

catapults are the default auxes for CVs

[leaden kiln]

so its like a must for cvs?

[agile pilot]

must in so much as it is their best aux usually

[leaden kiln]

ok thx

i think thats enough to learn for today

thanks for teaching me
