all good, I'm in no rush
wispy otter
first off
don't use any of the DRs
until dev 30
except agir, who you can use at like dev 15/20
and azuma you can use at dev 25
shell plaza
yeah shes only a few prints shy of 25
I guess I'm curious, if the general outline if said ships had their dev 30 would be decent enough. And I suppose if an HE fleet would be good to build out vs just messing around with that last slot in OpSi
wispy otter
yeah
i prefer running either torp meme or second BB fleet for the last fleet slot
other 3 being BB, CV, mob
shell plaza
I figured I'd have some torping covered with the first/mob setup since I do enjoy IJN ships. Only adjustment I'd really like is to get Pers to replace Ryuuhou
wispy otter
yeah your mob fleet is probably fine
although i prefer running italians as the backline, then running duca > ibuki, so its something like
vv aquila healer noshi duca poi
but your current mob fleet is fine
anyways the true opsi mob fleet is healer + 5 ships you wanna level 
shell plaza
Yeah I'd likely have considered it but I believe I'm missing Aquila unfortunately. I'd kicked around the idea of Riche in there for a pre-load over Naga.
wispy otter
honestly id replace nagato with someone like meta souryuu so you can level her skills faster or something 
then amagi flag
you got your ijn quota for amagi preload, so nagato going away isn't a huge loss
plus the vanguards don't need nagato buffs to function
but then again as i said true opsi mob fleet is healer + 5 ships you wanna level 
shell plaza
Maybe then I get my HE fleet up in levels and slap a healer next to them for some leveling.
wispy otter
yeah you could easily run richy jb healer as a mob backline
shell plaza
I guess one more question I'd have is I'm close to acquiring Seattle would she a suitable last for the first BB fleet or is there anyone else I should maybe consider for that?
wispy otter
seattle is good for a BB fleet sure
shell plaza
alright, at least so long as my general outline isn't too bad I can live with that. Might take a bit of time acquiring PR prints to bring somethings up to where they need to be.
But I suppose it gives time to get some really good Guns, Planes, Aux, etc.
wispy otter
lemme put fleets that you should currently use, but note you can replace the ijn bb fleet with your french ones + spite later
monarch nj doy san fran helena monty/bremerton
nagato amagi tosa noshi ibuki poi
shinano ark shoukaku azuma curlew sirius
mob fleet
give me a sec to fill in the vanguards
should be good enough to start
then once french is leveled it would replace the ijn bb fleet
shell plaza
alright, and as I get the dev levels slowly trade them back out into the fleets I was thinking correct?
wispy otter
yeah although id run agir in the CV fleet, and swap azuma to the french HE fleet
and i wouldn't run a mixed fleet with georgia + enty + essex
if you wanted to use georgia she would replace monarch
shell plaza
I think my idea there was just to toss some leveled ships in as a temp thing, and I just had an abundance of decentish EU ships.
Also rather than replacing Azuma wouldn't I want to keep her since Her + Shina + Haku enables the 15% AVI boost from Shina
since 3 IJN
shell plaza
I think regardless I have a better idea now of how to approach this, I copied down your fleet reccs so I can try setting them up, see how it all runs.
Sorry for taking up so much of your time, appreciate the help you've given me
now only to pray the rerun Pers soon 
wispy otter
no problem
4 main opsi fleets are
mob
BB
CV
second BB/torp
so just plan around these and should be fine
shell plaza
Sounds all good, thank you again!
