#

the rest try to match, if not better

charred finch Sep 1, 2025, 6:06 AM

#

smoky sandal something like this

smoky sandal Sep 1, 2025, 6:06 AM

#

charred finch Sep 1, 2025, 6:06 AM

#

smoky sandal Sep 1, 2025, 6:06 AM

charred finch Sep 1, 2025, 6:07 AM

ivory lion Sep 1, 2025, 6:07 AM

#

2 457s is also a tad impractical

smoky sandal Sep 1, 2025, 6:07 AM

#

charred finch Sep 1, 2025, 6:08 AM

#

charred finch Sep 1, 2025, 6:14 AM

#

smoky sandal Sep 1, 2025, 6:15 AM

#

no lol

#

w14 is pretty specific

#

opsi is very low bar you can make do with whatever

#

it will perform for opsi, sure, but it's not optimized for opsi either

charred finch Sep 1, 2025, 6:15 AM

#

ig ima ignore that one fleetbuilding for now then

charred finch Sep 5, 2025, 2:31 AM

#

smoky sandal it will perform for opsi, sure, but it's not optimized for opsi either

charred finch Sep 30, 2025, 11:38 AM

#

charred finch Sep 30, 2025, 1:09 PM

charred finch Nov 3, 2025, 1:23 PM

#

charred finch Nov 3, 2025, 1:24 PM

#

smoky sandal Nov 3, 2025, 1:25 PM

#

charred finch Nov 3, 2025, 1:25 PM

#

#

there's support fleet from best to worst listed there too

#

get shimanto, will help a lot for w15

charred finch Nov 5, 2025, 9:26 AM

#

smoky sandal there's support fleet from best to worst listed there too

for the support fleet can i just use hwah jah, illustrious and indomitable since i dont have implac and mixing up the options

#

saw that from the 3 example fleets

smoky sandal Nov 5, 2025, 9:30 AM

#

yes

#

depends on what other UR CV you have too, you can put essex or nakhimov

#

but probably better to use essex in main fleet if you're lacking options

charred finch Nov 5, 2025, 9:33 AM

#

smoky sandal depends on what other UR CV you have too, you can put essex or nakhimov

i only got these

smoky sandal Nov 5, 2025, 9:34 AM

#

ye probably those 3 as you said

#

take some time to raise them too

charred finch Nov 5, 2025, 9:34 AM

#

smoky sandal take some time to raise them too

o, also for the mob and boss fleet just remain the same?

smoky sandal Nov 5, 2025, 9:35 AM

#

same from what?

charred finch Nov 5, 2025, 9:35 AM

#

smoky sandal same from what?

the one i used in w14

smoky sandal Nov 5, 2025, 9:35 AM

#

no lol

#

read the guide

#

w15 is very different

#

need a lot of AA

charred finch Nov 5, 2025, 9:37 AM

#

smoky sandal need a lot of AA

hmm i barely have any main fleet shipgirls from the 3 fleets example, how do i Thinkpitz

#

which one do i try to follow (idk)

smoky sandal Nov 5, 2025, 9:39 AM

#

you just wait lul

#

wait until you get better ships

#

dont rush w15

charred finch Nov 5, 2025, 9:39 AM

#

smoky sandal dont rush w15

hmmm fair then...

#

losing so many chunks of vanguard too

smoky sandal Nov 5, 2025, 9:42 AM

#

yes, getting guam and laffey will help a lot

#

you dont have aquila?

charred finch Nov 5, 2025, 9:43 AM

#

no

#

too unlucky to get volga instead of her

smoky sandal Nov 5, 2025, 9:46 AM

#

musashi gonna be added tomorrow too

#

it will help as well, but idk if it's good without aquila

#

volga healing isn't as consistent

charred finch Nov 5, 2025, 9:46 AM

#

smoky sandal volga healing isn't as consistent

who do i need next in the shipyard, i think ima do next one first since im lil far away from enough points for shimanto

smoky sandal Nov 5, 2025, 9:47 AM

#

do shimanto. do her catchup+use PR6, 7, 8 blanks on her until she's FS5

#

catchup already 300, so you only need like 200+? i think to FS5

#

43+165

#

how many is that

#

208 more

charred finch Nov 5, 2025, 9:49 AM

#

prob

#

but i dont have enough tech points for her

smoky sandal Nov 5, 2025, 9:50 AM

#

AkashiHide time to work on it

charred finch Nov 5, 2025, 9:50 AM

#

hmm

#

i got these amount of prints

#

prob gonna mlb shinano with bulins anyway, cant find a rare ijn scrap to mlb

smoky sandal Nov 5, 2025, 9:52 AM

#

yes keep those for shimanto

#

you'll get more blank bps with events and whatnot

#

by the time you can level her to 125 you'll have enough bp to FS5 her

#

so work on IJN tech and unlock her next, can do a filler before that

#

maybe you havent unlocked some IJN PR ship like azuma, izumo, kitakaze or something

#

just check

charred finch Nov 5, 2025, 9:53 AM

#

hmmmmm, prob tmrw musashi gonna be enough xp then after this

#

tech

charred finch Nov 5, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

smoky sandal just check

also for that xp farming once i unlocked her, do i just use the top 3 above anyways

smoky sandal Nov 5, 2025, 10:07 AM
