For starters; you should level up some Carriers, and specifically ships like Illustrious muse, Independence, Illustrious if you have them. You need anti-air pretty badly and they have it. I can also say San Diego needs to be in your boss fleet.
hallow wave
The ships you have can manage w13 btw
gentle kiln
I'm not a starter player. I just farm event only, usially
hallow wave
As long as you've got the right gear
visual pine
Your ships seem good to do it, you just need good gear for all of them.
You have most of the core I've been using to clear 13-4
short mortar
Yeah, just make sure your gear is up to snuff and max upgraded and you can clear 13 easily.
hallow wave
@gentle kiln percy, alabama+anything has you sorted for w11 mobbing
Nagato+NJ+Shinano with drake+helena+tank for w11 boss
W12 onwards you want more CVs so..
Indepkai, percy, Miryuu with tank+sandy+anyone for mob
NJ, Enty, Essex/Shinano with Chesh, Helena, drake for boss
gentle kiln
Nj is New Jersey?
hallow wave
It's pretty safe setups, w12 you probably should run another BB in boss fleet like warspite along with NJ because you don't need as much AA
But w13 the one I listed is safe as fuck
hallow wave
Nj is New Jersey?
yes
@gentle kiln I'm going on the assumption that you've got drake at dev30 btw
visual pine
This is who I am using and what I have geared. 1st is mob, 2nd is boss. I am using some inferior gear like the SG radar because I lack enough gold steering and lack its transitional equivalent. I'd say that's manditory on almost all vanguards you want to use. I pretty much need the air radars on my vanguards if I want to survive.

hallow wave
No. Not yet
Then use prinz heinrich or Room instead
gentle kiln
Waiting for 503 
visual pine
This isn't a definitive gear guide though, I'd recommend looking at the tier list for some generalized info. I know for a fact 13-3 and 4 are heavy armor bosses so you should use AP guns. I forgot about 13-2 and 1 since its been a long time since I've done it.
visual pine
AP didn't seem necessary for 13-1 and 2 for me. But yeah, It's absolutely recommended.
hallow wave
they've got NJ, it doesn't matter too much. She'll eat 13-1 and 13-2 for breakfast
visual pine
For 13-1/2 I used Helena in my boss, and Heinrich in mob. I didn't use Yukikaze. In 13-3/4 I did way better with Heinrich in boss fleet to replace Helena and just using Yuki in my mob for survival.
I'm guessing its just the gun I am using on her and her synergy with Roon muse. When I was using Helena for some reason Roon would always die very early into the battle and it was a coin flip if I could clear 13-3.
hallow wave
He won't have too many issues tbh. Indepkai is gonna buff the shit out of CVs and Cheshire will carry AA well enough
visual pine
Yeah, so he's prepared, just probably needs better gear if he's struggling with 11-2
hallow wave
Might also be struggling with 11-2 because of things like suicide botes and trynna use CVs
And that's solvable with Fire Extinguishers and BBs
visual pine
Chapter 11 is suicide boat hell so I'd recommend battleships on it. Gearing them isn't difficult at all because their best gun is really easy to obtain
Well.. best as in.. the only one there isn't just one copy of in the game
gentle kiln
Also. Are dido class ships, like Dido, Dido U, Sirius and Hermione useful together?
visual pine
They are useful together I think. Dido afaik is mostly useful in full Royal Navy fleets. They wouldn't be any better than other ships you have.
hallow wave
Also. Are dido class ships, like Dido, Dido U, Sirius and Hermione useful togeth...
Not really tbh. Even if you pair Dido with other HMS ships she's above average at best. Sirius is good for buffing CVs. Dido muse is a decent option if you're struggling with AA.
Hermione's just hot 🚮
visual pine
Also I will also say; for 13; avoid 3 triangle carriers as much as possible, if you start a level and all you got was carriers, I'd just recommend restarting. Better to just waste 10 oil than trying to make an entire run to clear it.
gentle kiln
Hermione's just hot 🚮
Really? In my auto clears, she had MVP most of the times. I used to think she is strong
visual pine
That's probably a gearing issue then?
gentle kiln
Maybe
visual pine
my main fleets take MVP 90% of the time
hallow wave
Really? In my auto clears, she had MVP most of the times. I used to think she is...
Gearing issue, and you could be getting high rolls. Her bonus barrage is very rng on auto
@gentle kiln fwiw you can also just post images of your gear on the ships listed for w11.
visual pine
Yeah I was gonna ask that.

Well, I try to use gear like on slaimuda.github.io mostly, I discovered it recently
visual pine
Can you post your fleets gears. The ones you're using for Chapter 11?
hallow wave

That's fine for the most part. But you might want to use a fire extinguisher on your flagship BB for w11
w11's biggest hurdle is flagship survivability. FE bumps that up by a tonne
visual pine
I still find it very odd that your main fleet isn't almost always taking MVP.
gentle kiln
visual pine
Do you not have any fire control radars? Or this gun...
Or the white/black shells.
visual pine
If you don't have any shells from the core data, use those purple fire control radars on all your battleships. They help out a lot
Also
gentle kiln
Do you not have any fire control radars? Or this gun...
This one?
hallow wave
that brings me to another point, you've got other BBs lying around?
hallow wave
Alabama can't equip those
visual pine
ohhh
visual pine
Is that gun best with suicide boats then?
gentle kiln
hallow wave
Yeah, use Riche instead of alabama
Actually
wait a fuck
yeah
you've got aquila?
gentle kiln
Yeah, use Riche instead of alabama
Is she good outside of french fleets? She is national buffer
hallow wave
Riche's amazing anywhere
Think of her skill as a self buff
But more importantly, you've got aquila?
visual pine
You definitely are good enough for Chapter 11. You just need to gear your ships better.
gentle kiln
hallow wave
Yeah, just put aquila+VV+Percy in your mob fleet with Duca+other stuff for w11
VV can equip CL guns and that means she can actually deal with suicide boats
gentle kiln
VV?
hallow wave
Vittorio Veneto
gentle kiln
Oh
visual pine
I'm pretty sure the Twin 127mm is better for suicide boats than the Twin 100 though. I had better luck with it. I only use the Twin 100 on 13 because there's no Suicide boats, so I'm using an AP gun in the odd event I need it to damage the boss.
hallow wave
they're both terrible
visual pine
idk if it even has range for it.
Yeah. So just use battleships that can equip light cruiser guns.
Even the purple one I recommended is great for suicide boats.
hallow wave
<@!214816684396118017> percy, alabama+anything has you sorted for w11 mobbing
Na...
@gentle kiln The w12+13 fleet here still applies, just replace Drake with someone else.
And feel free to replace Miryuu with Aquila using fighters if you feel like your mob fleet is struggling to stay alive (but that's highly unlikely)
W11 you want aquila to use dive bombers tho
visual pine
Yeah. Also pay a lot more attention to the Azur Lane tier list gear, and if you don't have what it wants, just look how to get it. The white/black shells in the core data shop should ideally be on every battleship you use.
visual pine
Id recommend using more Battleships if you can. Though with proper gear, that should be just fine.
gentle kiln
Last question. Are nothern parlament/royal navy fleets viable? Or just some of them?
visual pine
Royal Navy has quite a few, Northern Parlament not so much
Tashkent is very good, Avrora is very niche for torpedo meme fleets and some other situations, Tallinn is an excellent tank that deals good DPS, and that's all I can really think of for ones that stand out.
gentle kiln
Kirov?
visual pine
I haven't heard much about her
gentle kiln
Ok
visual pine
Pamiyat Merkuria is also very niche. Pretty good tank and she has a slow which can be helpful in certain circumstances.
Tier list should be more use than anything, they have descriptions on almost every ship except for ones that aren't very good or new ships
gentle kiln
I just maxed every ship I liked from event/normal gacha, and didn't care much about anything after. Shinano still haven't seen a battlefield at least once 
@visual pine @hallow wave Anyway, thank you a lot, fellow gentlemen. 
You helped me much
visual pine
Don't mention it.
hallow wave
@gentle kiln Kirov's a great ship. extremely consistent on auto
Like, EXTREMELY consistent. Since her increased range means auto AI doing weird shit doesn't affect her
visual pine
Good to know, thanks
gentle kiln
I still find it very odd that your main fleet isn't almost always taking MVP.
Now I refresh this one in memory. I've build royal navy fleet with Formidable, Nelson, Elizabeth, Belfast, Javelin/neptune and Hermione, to farm exp for Monarch, Neptune, Cheshire and Drake. And usually, fight was over before Formie's planes were able to reach enemies. That's why she (Hermione) was so effective in my mind
