Suggested fleet makeup after levelling and LBing:

VV / Aquila / Ryuuhou --- Noshiro / Duca / SF
Monarch/NJ/DoY --- Portland / Helena / Swiftsure
Belo / Warkai / Need another off flag bb --- Tallinn / Sandykai / Kirov
Enty/Ark/Centy --- Roon / Kazagumo / Sirius
Since I don't have some of the ships MLBed/levelled up, here's what I've made in the meantime:
MOB: VV / Aquila / Unicorn --- Atago / Duca / SF
BOSS BB1: Monarch / NJ / DoY --- Portland / Z23 / Helena
BOSS BB2: Belo / Warkai / Fusou --- Tallinn / Laffey / Sandykai
BOSS AVI: Enty / Ark / Centaur --- Roon / Javelin / Baltimore
Can I get some clarification as to why specific ships for specific fleets, and which BB fleet should use AP and HE? Also torp memes should there be a weakness for it, I think?

#

Kazagumo/Sirius was chosen as they are universal Avi buffers

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 9:27 AM

#

Mmm. I gathered as much.

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:27 AM

#

Sirius buffing 3 cv > 1 uss cv for balti

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 9:27 AM

#

Gold bulins are a pain so getting either Sirius or Kaza will take time

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:27 AM

#

Belo team is the HE, Monarch comp is AP due to nature of barrage

#

do kaza first

#

kaza buff is higher

#

Mob one is self explanatory as it utilizes the meta defining speed clear of italians, noshiro over atago as more dps, buff, tankier

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 9:29 AM

#

Ye. I do plan on MLBing Noshiro next, since you provided me with this order: VV (got) > Duca (got) / ryuuhou (just needs levels) > Noshiro > Azusa Miura > Kirov (almost done so higher )> Kaza > Sirius

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:30 AM

#

since laffey was buffed, no need to rush kirov

#

but if kirov is ready

#

replace z23 out

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 9:31 AM

#

She's not ready yet. She's LB2 I think. And with the order you provided, Noshiro comes first because Atago isn't the greatest tank

#

As a side note, torp memes aren't necessary since the AP BB fleet handles the boss that's weak to torps.

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:33 AM

#

the torp wasnt intended for boss anyway

#

its mob

#

torp preloads clear faster in avg in opsi due to the amount of med/heavy and even spinning shields

#

then they buffed it

#

more reason to do it

shy bolt Sep 17, 2021, 9:34 AM

#

I thought he was just asking about the boss weak to torps

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:34 AM

#

MurmWat

#

i mean, he can use it to whack the boss

#

but the idea was mob

shy bolt Sep 17, 2021, 9:34 AM

#

Luigi in mob is based anyways

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:34 AM

#

noshiro/duca handle bb

#

sf deals with light

#

its pretty good

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 9:36 AM

#

For the AP fleet, it's fine if I equip the Twin 410 (purple) for DoY to make her shoot first right? Despite being on the AP fleet.

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:36 AM

#

yeh

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 9:37 AM

#

I dont have a HPFCR

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:37 AM

#

NJ makes up for it anyway

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 9:37 AM

#

Allright

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:37 AM

#

and thats honestly the reason shes even recommended nowadays

#

cuz her dmg is piss poor if compared to meta bb

#

she just amps them, and NJ/fdg have stupidly high base numbers

#

you can also make the twin 406mm mk8 AP on gear lab

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 9:39 AM

#

What about Swiftsure in AP fleet?

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:39 AM

#

its essentially twin 410mm but for AP

#

for consistency in hitting shots

#

monarch by the virtue of being a pr is cucked in accuracy due to no/low luck

#

shes not high prio MurmWat

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 9:40 AM

#

So she should still use the HE 410mm? For the slow

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:42 AM

#

#

use the top one

#

they are HE or AP variants of each other

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 9:42 AM

#

Right, I made one. Can make more.

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:42 AM

#

just 1 anyway

#

for dork to go ahead

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 9:43 AM

#

And Monarch uses the HE gun?

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:43 AM

#

monarch and NJ uses your best possible AP shelling gun

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 9:43 AM

#

Ah

#

I have 1 Champy gun for NJ, Ive gotta use Izumo gun for Monarch

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:44 AM

#

yeh

#

NJ high prio

#

broken ship MurmWat

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 9:44 AM

#

Agreed

#

What about Portland and Roon? It makes sense to me at least that Roon could be better used in the AP fleet due to her ammo changing gimmick and not in the CV fleet. Portland is in the AP fleet, I ahve a Cheshire gun on her rn and Roon has her gun

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:46 AM

#

the assumption was with kaza

#

the shields help kaza to live longer

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 9:46 AM

#

Ah

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:47 AM

#

Portland with NJ is significantly tankier

#

5% DR of NJ for all uss in fleet

#

and laffey should be there over z23 if you want to maximize survival pot

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 9:50 AM

#

Sandykai is in HE fleet because she has good DPS right? Weaknesses aren't dependent on the enemy type, right?

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:50 AM

#

well HE fleet fight vs light

#

Sandykai best dps mod is light, and shes your best at it cl wise

#

unless got helena m or mainz fs5

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 9:51 AM

#

I can MLB Metalena (once levelled), dont ahve Mainz

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 9:52 AM

#

then sandy kicks the dds MurmWat

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 10:09 AM

#

where would Chikuma or Shimakaze fit? Im assuming Chikuma could replace Tallinn, Shimakaze maybe Kirov? A bit too soon to assume perhaps?

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 10:42 AM

#

Chikuma is best preffered with CV with atleast 1 IJN to debuff for cvs

#

im not too sure about Shima atm

#

and people dont even need to respect the torp weakness as BB bust through it with ease

#

def A mobber viable, but the dmg could be wasted as her numbers are bosser

urban kelp Sep 17, 2021, 10:49 AM

#

I don't have Shinano, and my best IJN CVs are the bunnies, foxes, Shoukaku and Ryuuhou (plus Katsuragi, but she's an unknown variable). So she might work in the mob fleet when I swap Uni for Ryuuhou?

hazy depot Sep 17, 2021, 11:32 AM

#

i personally wont

#

chikuma's debuff is best suited for boss

#

the current vg mob is fine as is, mob is all about being able to clear fast and sustain, not do big dmg but slow
