So yeah. Been playing for a bit. I need some directional input into who to raise, who to dev, possible OpSi/campaign fleet comps. (once levelled up).
I do have wasted some time grinding collections and fleet tech, but I know that now.

Opsi wise
Alabama (VV is a lot better)/AQl/Uni (Ryuuhou is better) + Atago for now (Noshiro is better)/Balti (If running vv, duca instead of balti)/SF
Monarch/NJ/DoY + Portland/Helena/Swiftsure
Belo/Warkai/Need another off flag bb + Tallinn/Sandykai/Kirov
Enty/Ark/Centy + Tallinn/Kazagumo/Sirius
sub is essentially best
white echo
or possible w13 fleet
Ive been a lazy fuck for campaign, right now doing 10-2 like a pleb
digital cradle
most important boss fleet is with NJ and Enty due to how weakess works
white echo
Planes and BBs, aye
weary sandal
let make it easy for you :
NJ indep enty sanfran helena sandiego, you can use this for boss fleet for campaing from 10-2 to 13-4
for mob fleet
for w10 and w11 you want a bb for flag, and with a healer you probaly good to go with how overlevel you are
digital cradle
for w10-11:
Belo/Aquila/Ryuuhou + same vg
boss is same, NJ just carries this anyway
for w12/13 Independence/Unicorn/Ryuuhou + Noshiro/Balti/SF mob
boss: Monarch/NJ/Enty + Roon/Helena/Sandykai
weary sandal
or that
digital cradle
indep is higher over aquila with how demanding AA can be
esp if you are running no wyverns, dps aquila doesnt offer a lot of AA
white echo
Yup no wyverns. 3 ur aircraft prints, ways to go for 1
weary sandal
should be fine
digital cradle
Notable prs: Obviously the DRs, anchorage/Cheshire/marco polo with VV/Mainz
rest are flexible without
white echo
I am lacking in DR prints so they are far off
digital cradle
Azusa is a way a better tank unit, but falls off once we include the pr/dr
white echo
I am stingy with cube analyses because I only have like 150
digital cradle
and you dont need much tanks
like theres a lot of tanks lved
utility is the one you lack more
Helena M would be nice but not mlb is 🚮
white echo
I have the crystals for her, just havent paid much attention to her
digital cradle
she would replace kirov
then 1 off flag BB if you can get one, fill it with sara for now on opsi comp
white echo
The first major event I played was Khorovod IIRC, so yeah I dont have too many good BBs (Howe comes to mind first)
digital cradle
off flag bbs in general are just rare
when every single BB wants to have a barrage that needs center
white echo
Right. 
Thanks for the input, definetly taking some notes 
Although for OpSi, Tallinn is mentioned twice in two fleets
Azusa once raised or Roon for one of them?
digital cradle
oh god i forgot to type roon again
roon goes with cvs
tallinn and kirov can work together
white echo
Gotcha
Isn't 1:1 - 2:2 better/more efficient than 3:3 for levelling in general, right? Thanks to MVP and flag bonus
digital cradle
1:1 is best yes
issue is getting 12-4 with capable ships to 1:1
so 2:2 or 1:2 if possible
people who do 3:3 is either using really low and less powerful ships in general (tech farming) or just want less hassle
white echo
Picking a high enough world for 1:1, right.
weary sandal
i would stick with 12-4 while using 1:3 or 3:1
it faster
white echo
When I get there, yes. Hopefully they survive 
white echo
Whats the general level advantage I should I strive for when levelling ships? Putting my level 70 Ryuuhou to W10+ is kinda bad right
digital cradle
w12 can do 80+ depending on the ship
white echo
Once safe, I assume?
digital cradle
yes
digital cradle
gear as well, as your main issue is doing dmg surviving isnt a huge issue in 12-4
i did 2:1 mob to safe w12 
richy/percy + sandy
kill it before it does dmg
white echo
If only I had Percy
white echo
I 3 star maps to get the gems, some require a mob fleet to do 1-2 battles with 0 ammo IIRC
digital cradle
yeh, 12-4 isnt one of those maps
white echo
Okay. For Gear Lab, which gear should I prioritize? I got the KMS DD gun for NJ. And thats the only one Ive done so far because...options.
I'm also doing PR3 for gear, to get the Champy gun, Twin 144 DP and Sextuples. Once I have one (more) of these I'm going to switch to PR2 for Seattle gun + Twin 406mm SKC34
digital cradle
its pretty much just the planes for gear lab
rest can be band aided easily or doesnt compete with what exist in pr or obtainable
white echo
Tigercat, Ryuusei, Wyvern? Allright
digital cradle
Junkers if you dont prefer ryuusei's pattern/rld
white echo
D-4. I did make its prerequisites because the purple materials were cheap
digital cradle
in practice their dmg is around the same
its really the pattern/rld diff what matters
white echo
The Ryuusei works for Ark, right? I dont have Formi (obviously)
digital cradle
its like 97k on ryuusei, 94k on junkers
idk what content would justify the need of that 3k diff
white echo
digital cradle
ryuusei works fine
digital cradle
junkers just makes it so 1/3 of each planes is more forward
since you arent doing stop
rather slow
boss can try to move a bit and miss 1 or 2 ryuusei torp
on stop comp like avp/formi, its ryuusei (sauin for formi)
pretty much im insecure in hitting so i want better odds 
the rld is main benefit
white echo
My gold bulins are limited, so from what I gathered from your possible OpSi comps, levelling VV and Duca first would be good canditates, yes? I noted the following (at least which are not MLB): VV, Ryuuhou, Noshiro, Duca, Swiftsure, Kirov, Kazagumo, Sirius
digital cradle
VV > Duca / ryuuhou > Noshiro > Kirov (almost done so higher) Kaza > Sirius
sirius is in the bottom of the pack as her buff can persist in opsi even if she dies (only loses it after battle due to seal)
kaza due to survival needs
Duca on top cuz dps/tanky, similar like nosh but more self dmg
white echo
Oh yeah, what about Azusa? Looking at the comps, I see she could replace Atago in the OpSi mob fleet.
digital cradle
as in they take a lot of beating
white echo
Yes, Im aware that much
digital cradle
being a CA also wants access to lv 110 quick since thats when they hit their tank spike
hence need of resource more
