Which ships I need to get rid off ? , I need some docks space for the upcoming ships

[steel kestrel]

screenshot of ur dock pls

[fluid moss]

Here

[obtuse egret]

60 slots is good no need to fret about dock space

[minor prism]

just scrap littles and muse

also stop buying UR bulins before you can use them

[fluid moss]

Ok
By the way some of them from event rewards

[limber hound]

also meta ships have their own special dock
(essentially free, and you cant get rid of them)

[fluid moss]

Ok

[fluid moss]

Who ?

And if you can guys
Mark them

[limber hound]

example of muse, little ships:

[fluid moss]

Ok

[obtuse egret]

something like this but as i said u don't need to take any action about the dock and u should be still able to expand it

[minor prism]

but like abdou said you still have like 50 slots should be fine for this year

[fluid moss]

Ok

[steel kestrel]

in case u keep enhancing common ships and retiring rare/epic ships which alr mlb 50 spaces are enough

[fluid moss]

I might remove U ships
Because I'm not using them at all
The little ships I want to keep just few because they are cute
But I will delete the Extra ones

[obtuse egret]

keep 3☆ the normal campaign stages and expand the dock as much as u can that is the best way

[minor prism]

should definitely buy more slots down the line though

[fluid moss]

Does 3 staring the campaign give gems ?

[obtuse egret]

yeah as f2p in a year i was able to get 480 slots dock

[limber hound]

+never buy skins unless you intend to 💳

[fluid moss]

Ok
Glad to hear that

[fluid moss]

Nah
Not really

I'm at world 12 I think

[limber hound]

seriously. f2p cannot afford skins

[obtuse egret]

yeah a lot of it
after expanding the dorm to floor 2

u dump the rest into the dock

[fluid moss]

Ok
What about gear
Can I show you what I have

I really have alot
To the point I'm maxed

[obtuse egret]

ur depot is filled ?

[fluid moss]

Hold

[obtuse egret]

yeah in ur case show it with unequipped toggled on

[limber hound]

just dump gear on ships you do not use

• https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Thebombzen/Safe_To_Scrap_MK_II

[obtuse egret]

i never thought that a day like would come

[fluid moss]

@obtuse egret here

[obtuse egret]

yeah look something like this takes a lot of space

[fluid moss]

Ok

How much I should keep of them

I might use them for crafting

[obtuse egret]

no most of the purples in there are insta scrap

[fluid moss]

Ok
Which ones I should scrap

[obtuse egret]

keep the helldiver mk6 toolboxes autoloader homing and the twin 150mm if u don't have ply guns

f4u corsair is used to get pancake from the gear lab

[fluid moss]

Ply guns
You mean secondary guns
I'm grinding opsi for some

[fluid moss]

F4u ?

[obtuse egret]

u can also keep 1 of these for agir

[fluid moss]

Well
I have gold version for her
I think

Let me check

[obtuse egret]

there isn't a gold version of it

[fluid moss]

Here

[obtuse egret]

better to use the quad mag torp on someone else that does torp damage

also ofc don't scrap the limited elite gear if u are a collector i forgot to mention that

[fluid moss]

@obtuse egret

[fluid moss]

You mean the Ur ones ?

[obtuse egret]

elite is purple

[obtuse egret]

scrap the quint
and use the elite triple on agir

agir is mainly used to tank the bossing bb fleet

[fluid moss]

Ok

I'm keeping that one

[obtuse egret]

yeah the quad one is omega slow for her

well 3 seconds slower but for a bb fleet it is omega slow

[fluid moss]

Ok

These are what left

Wait
Ops

[obtuse egret]

so u don't need more pancakes ?

[fluid moss]

I might delete the planes

Pancakes?

[obtuse egret]

u only had 1 corsair so no worries

[obtuse egret]

flapjack

[fluid moss]

Do you have image for it

[obtuse egret]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Vought_XF5U_Flying_Flapjack_(Prototype)

[fluid moss]

Oh this one
Wait
Let me check

I can make two more@obtuse egret

But I don't think so
Because I'm making the other ones

The American one

[obtuse egret]

they are all americans

u can't craft something that is not from the same faction

u have enough for 2 flapjacks and the corsair can be obtained easily from the gold tech boxes

it shouldn't be an issue

[fluid moss]

I meant the f7f

By the way
Thanks for the help

[obtuse egret]

tigercat ?

[fluid moss]

Yeah
The last one in the lab

[obtuse egret]

how many flapjacks do u have ?

[obtuse egret]

don't fall for the 'last in the line means the best' ok

[fluid moss]

Just one
And I meant this one

[obtuse egret]

3 tigercats is already more than enough

[fluid moss]

For fighters I focus on this one
And hornet

[obtuse egret]

now focus on getting flapjacks

[fluid moss]

Ok

But for who exactly
I have this fleet so far

[obtuse egret]

tigercat and hornet are used in bossing in the past

[fluid moss]

For opsi

[obtuse egret]

nowadays u use la9

[fluid moss]

La9?

[obtuse egret]

so basically tigercat and hornet lost all of their exclusivity

[obtuse egret]

pr7 fighter

the strongest fighter against med and heavy enemies

[fluid moss]

Oh
I see

Speaking of

I need one bombers and Torp bombers@obtuse egret

Which one I should focus on

[fluid moss]

No wonder why my fighters can't do nuch

[obtuse egret]

1 more saiun at least

for db one more tenrai

[fluid moss]

The Japanese Torp bomber

@obtuse egret this one

[obtuse egret]

yeah having 2 of each torpedo bombers is the standard

vit 2 is a tricky plane

if u aren't familiar or u don't have someone who is familiar with it who can help u to use it then better to ignore even if it has the highest damage potential

[fluid moss]

@obtuse egret this one?

[fluid moss]

Image please?

[obtuse egret]

that is a dive bomber

[fluid moss]

Ok

[obtuse egret]

also i said vit2

[fluid moss]

How do they look exactly?

Oh wait

This one ?

[obtuse egret]

so u should see 2 one of the pr5 which is the old one parallel
and the new one vit 2 mode change in pr7 the converging one from the saiun junk and ryuusei family

[fluid moss]

@obtuse egret which one I should focus on
Because I want to do overhaul change

[obtuse egret]

this is the strongest converging torpedo bomber in the game not factoring in timer

[fluid moss]

Ok

Sooo
Is this still the best dive bomber?

[obtuse egret]

focus as in what exactly
plates investment or getting gear ?

[obtuse egret]

the best dive bomber for campaign is tenrai followed by skyraider and helldiver

[fluid moss]

Is this still the best Dive bomber

[fluid moss]

Ok

What about opsi

[obtuse egret]

then it depends on what u are fighting

[fluid moss]

Both
Because I'm always running low on plates for upgrades

[obtuse egret]

tenrai is good because of the aoe damage
opsi bossing it single target so skyraider is better most of the time

[fluid moss]

Ok

Wait
Sooo
I should give it to my mob fleet right?

[obtuse egret]

diverbombers aren't that important for bossing so don't think much about it
just u need to know that u don't go wrong to puck skyraider in the strong db slot

hakuryuu type db slot

[fluid moss]

What is dB slot by the way?

[obtuse egret]

dive bomber slot

[fluid moss]

Ok

[obtuse egret]

that doesn't have any flexibility

[fluid moss]

Ok
I need more explanation please lad

[obtuse egret]

cv have fixed slots and flexible ones

usually when u fight bosses u want to not use dive bombers so if the ship has a flexible dive bomber slot like for example amagi cv u want to not use any diver bomber on her

this is mamagi's loadout

as u can see the top 2 slots can equip diver bombers alonsdie either a fighter and down it a tb

when u boss u do fighter tb tb for heavy

the only case where u will use a tenrai in the 1st slot is when u don't have an la9 when u fight a heavy boss

also when u fight a med boss i think u want to use a skyraider in the second slot

[fluid moss]

Sooo
Like her

She have slot where she can use different stuff

[obtuse egret]

it is hard to pinpoint how to gear a ship in a vague situation
but this might work for campaign bosses i think not sure

[fluid moss]

I do use her and enter price

This is enter price louadout

[obtuse egret]

yk2 was used in w15 but personally i don't know how her loadout was
most likely 2 flapjacks and a tenrai

or 1 flap 1 tenrai 1 wyvern

[fluid moss]

@obtuse egret

How is she ?

[obtuse egret]

do u know why shinano is strong ?

[fluid moss]

No

I left the game while I go
So I need little bit of help

[obtuse egret]

this is one of the strongest skills in the game currently

typically u want to use yk2 enty and implacable not shinano

also seeing their loadouts shinano is geared towards heavy armor bosses which yk2 and enty don't excel at

[fluid moss]

Oh ok

[obtuse egret]

shinano is paired with kazagumo and another sakura cv like hakuryuu or amagi cv

using all hakuryuu amagi and shinano in the same fleet is also possible

heavy bosses are known for being slow and with a slower like eldridge retro
although slowing isn't very consistent to land all the torpedoes
the 3 ijn comp is a legit comp with eld retro

only against heavy armor

[fluid moss]

Oh

Eld ?

[fluid moss]

@obtuse egret this one ?

Ok
@obtuse egret should I make another thread for fleet
Or show my fleets here

[obtuse egret]

yeah but only if u have her retrofit

[obtuse egret]

here

[fluid moss]

I use these for opsi
I also use Fleet 1 and 2 I use them for campaign

[fluid moss]

Ok
I might need here

[obtuse egret]

show ur dock

for opsi u want 1 mob and 2 boss
u can snatch musasi from the bossing fleet for example to use her to mob for the entire month while leaving bossing at the end of the month

[fluid moss]

These what I have of CV

[fluid moss]

She's in the mobing fleet

[obtuse egret]

what about BBs

[obtuse egret]

u filtred by sakura

[fluid moss]

@obtuse egret BBs and cvs

[fluid moss]

Yes
But in this one
It's full cvs

These

I'm working on this now

[obtuse egret]

u can skip avp

hakuryuu is more important

[fluid moss]

Ok

[obtuse egret]

k since u don't have much of a flexibility in ur dock

u should use musasi to mob until u finish the strongholds then swap her to the BB fleet

[fluid moss]

By the way
Vanguard is coming

[obtuse egret]

i personally not sure about which to add as a third between warspite and monarch

[fluid moss]

And I will try to get her

[obtuse egret]

but i think we can just use warspite

[fluid moss]

@obtuse egret well

We have this

And she's waiting

[obtuse egret]

so the bossing fleet is bz musasi warspite agir helena + x emden is good i think not sure

[fluid moss]

Should we ask the others?

[fluid moss]

That the BB fleet

Some one told me to make
BB fleet CV fleet

Mob fleet and mix fleet

Or fleet has like faction buff

[obtuse egret]

for the cv fleet i m not very sure
but yk2 implacable + someone ( enty or shinano ) / sandy kaza sirius might work
it is a little bit scuffed but looks the best based on what u have

[fluid moss]

Ok

[fluid moss]

I might change it in the future

[fluid moss]

Entry perhaps
Intell I get two more good sakura cvs

[obtuse egret]

also for pr4 u went all the way to fs5 marco while leaving anchorage the last is a very suboptimal choice

anchorage is an ur ship in disguise

[fluid moss]

Ok

I might get them all

[obtuse egret]

there aren't many good sakura cvs
basically it is the current meta trio
shinano haku mamagi

[fluid moss]

Ok here's my thoughts
How about blood iron fleet
CV fleet , BB fleet and mob fleet

[fluid moss]

I need mamagi
Aka akagi sister

[obtuse egret]

as long as u can do the strongholds on auto do whatever u like

but for that u want at least unicorn in there

[fluid moss]

Strong holds I don't do them auto
I do them mainly

[obtuse egret]

if u manual the strongholds then u are doing something wrong

[fluid moss]

I Have the other healer
And independence

[obtuse egret]

especially when u have musasi unicorn in there

[fluid moss]

They get alot of heavy damge

And I use fleet 2 for the elite enemies and bosses

Most of the time

This one

[obtuse egret]

level them to 125 asap

use independence with them

[fluid moss]

Here's their levels

So
Change Vittorio

[obtuse egret]

strongholds need also 188 188 for tuning to lower the enemy stats

[fluid moss]

188 survivability and others?

[obtuse egret]

to independence yes

[obtuse egret]

the first 2 attack and hp

attack will reduce the enemy damage and hp the enemy hp which will make the fight 30% easier

which gun do u use on musasi ?

[fluid moss]

And these my BB guns

[obtuse egret]

when u fight a heavy or med armor boss use these 2 on warspite and bz

the izumo gun on musasi is fine but +10

in the past it was the best musasi gun overall that is why u might see people have it at +13 but now in the pr7 they added a new ijn gun that is more worth to +13

the twin one daisen gun

swap the guns on bz for this mk7

and on warspite with mk6

but for musasi i think u want another ijn gun

[fluid moss]

Ok

[obtuse egret]

this one

it is a gear lab gun

[fluid moss]

This is the best for her ?

[fluid moss]

I crafted now

Should I focus my Research on pr 7 ?

Because it's seems the best stuff is in that pr

Sorry
Pr

[obtuse egret]

gearing the cv is harder than BBs so preferably u want to beat everything with the BBs so focus everything on leveling musasi for now
unicorn and independence for mobbing and also sandy

[obtuse egret]

what are u focusing right now ?

[fluid moss]

4 to get her blueprints

[fluid moss]

4

And
Can you explain this for me
Because some said this is another issue I have

[obtuse egret]

since u have enough saiun and 1 tenrai i think it is better to focus 7 now

[obtuse egret]

tech is flat increase in stats

basically whenever u get a ship and lvl to 120 u get stat bonus

also in the faction tech u get massive increases from there

[fluid moss]

Ok
Does this also effect the reloading time ?

For cvs?

[obtuse egret]

u don't focus on it when u are still farming for ur main ships

[fluid moss]

Ok

[fluid moss]

Ok

[obtuse egret]

it is an ignore angle until u are done from the opsi fleets at least
because campaign ships are different

[fluid moss]

Speaking
Is the purple triple he gun still the best ? ( I know the rainbow is their but it's hard to get )

[fluid moss]

Oh
Ok

[obtuse egret]

i said earlier u use mk7 on bz which is the rainbow one

and mk6 the purple on warspite

currently they are the best

[fluid moss]

I meant for other ships

And to know
Did this one replace the purple one

This one

Did it replace it's brother

[obtuse egret]

this gun is insanely niche for kear

[fluid moss]

Damn

[obtuse egret]

keep 1 at +10

[fluid moss]

That's dispoment
Kinda

[fluid moss]

Well
I don't have one

[obtuse egret]

yeah not important then

last time i saw it being used is to fight jintuu meta with yk2 and impla

[fluid moss]

Ok
Another question
Which faction has the best buff
Sakura, blood iron , royal navy , or regal Union

[obtuse egret]

eagle and royal

[fluid moss]

Oh ok

Hmmmmm

[obtuse egret]

try to mlb as many ships as u can for all of the faction

[fluid moss]

Sense I have both enty and yk2

Why should be the third ship from their faction?
This ?

Or new jersey

Ok
I have more royal navy ships
I was it one point making drake

[obtuse egret]

kear's worst disadvantage is that she is in pr6

[fluid moss]

Seems like it

[obtuse egret]

a good ship in the worst series

[fluid moss]

Really?

Is that series not that decent?

[obtuse egret]

the situation got even bad after the release of pr7

[fluid moss]

Is it for gear or ships ?

[obtuse egret]

pr7 is insanely cracked

[fluid moss]

Ok

[fluid moss]

Ship or gear ?

[obtuse egret]

everything but halford

[fluid moss]

So
Their ships is not that good ?

[obtuse egret]

also i think it is better to not follow this guide for gearing
i see many players use core data to buy the f4u corsair squadron while its priority is very low

or almost non existant

[fluid moss]

Ok

I think I will stay at my nollege and if I need help
I will ask you guys

[obtuse egret]

halford is a meme ship for now
fails at the job that is meant to do for now
the 2 ur nakhimov and napoli are on the top

the la9 fighter is the best fighter for bossing against med and heavy

vit 2 mode change is the best conv torp bomber but hard to use

[fluid moss]

Ok

[obtuse egret]

daisen gun is the best for musasi for most of the situations where musasi excels which is bossing against med and heavy armor

daisen is decent as far as i heard but also she has +2 fp tech stat at lvl 120 very juicy

[fluid moss]

Can I show you what I have for royal navy ships
Because I might have good ships for fleet faction buff

[obtuse egret]

fleet faction buffs aren't important outside of yk2 and shinano

[fluid moss]

Oh ok

I see

Then I might do egale Union
I just need good BB for them

[obtuse egret]

consider them as smol bonuses when it happens that u made a fleet using them

[fluid moss]

Does the buff include their vanguard too ?

[obtuse egret]

to free urself from some unnecessary confusions u might consider to read what the ships do and understand how they function inside the fleet

[fluid moss]

Ok

[obtuse egret]

so basically currently the relevant faction buffs are all related to cv

[fluid moss]

Ok
So only Cvs

Damn

I think I could make fleet for them

Ok
Let's get back
Does this fleet any changes in the future?

[obtuse egret]

for shinano she buffs all the ships in the faction but realistically it should be CVs too

[fluid moss]

We said Vittorio Will be changed for independence

[fluid moss]

Ok

[obtuse egret]

roon for anchorage
chan in the middle

[fluid moss]

Oh
So anchorage is best for mobing?

[obtuse egret]

works everywhere

[fluid moss]

Nice

[obtuse egret]

i used her in w15 too

[fluid moss]

But I might have her for that team

Because mobing need best damge and tanker

Monarch will be instead of muscahi after I get vanguard and Friedrich

By the way
When will vanguard arrive?

[obtuse egret]

how many core data do u have ?

[fluid moss]

Why ?

I think I sped around 1200 for independence
So
I don't have that much

[obtuse egret]

oh i see then nvm

keep doing the highest hard stage that u can do

[fluid moss]

Is their gun for her ?

[obtuse egret]

it is either u go for fdg anchorage or hakuryuu

for u all these 3 are very important in this current situation

but not sure how the cn anni will change things

cn anni is in 5 weeks

[fluid moss]

Oh ok

[fluid moss]

Wait
Oh data core

I have ones for V

I don't think I have for the other prs

[obtuse egret]

core data isn't protocore

core data is the one that u use to get independence with

so keep doing the highest hard stage that can

[fluid moss]

Ok
Why did you ask about them
Is their something will change or gun I need to get ?

These what I have blueprints by the way

[obtuse egret]

core data has some nice gear there
there is no main gun in there

but for now just keep this plan
level up unicorn musasi sandy implacable and try to prepare independence for the future

fdg anchorage haku

[fluid moss]

Ok

[obtuse egret]

u can use coins to develop fdg and anchorage at the same time

[fluid moss]

By the way
I have 75 data core
The highest one I can do give me around 24

[fluid moss]

Ok

[obtuse egret]

yeah that is a good amount 3x24 is 72

[fluid moss]

@obtuse egret I might play this for farming xp
I need these

Ok
What do you suggest

[obtuse egret]

that piece of gear is obtainable from the gear research

farm xp in 12-4

[fluid moss]

@obtuse egret I'm here

[obtuse egret]

keep repeating 12-4 until 100% and use it as a farming stage

[fluid moss]

@obtuse egret I did some change

Xp for UR sakura ship

Lab one

Or should I use taihou instead

[obtuse egret]

it doesn't matter u have unicorn and musasi in there 12-4 is a joke to them

also if u are using shinano use the regular loadout of fighter dive bomber torpedo bomber

so flapjack helldiver and wyvern/breguet/barracuda

[fluid moss]

Is their other options from flapjack

These what I have

[fluid moss]

@obtuse egret

For the ping lad

I might need help here

I used the sea fury

[obtuse egret]

f4u squadron
12-4 is very easy that it doesn't matter much what u use there

[fluid moss]

Ok

[obtuse egret]

i had a bsod that is why it took me sometime to fix the pc

having electricity issues in the 24 pin cable
