#Glenvik gear

Hello (?
send what gear your ships have, you shouldn't be struggling that hard with that fleet
I should send my gear of my main ships, right?
and vanguard
uhh, so, where to start
Well, to start with, take off all the anti-sub gear since there's no subs
i'd say JB is the only one with decent equipment there
Also, can you post your depot so we know what other gear you have?
Someone help me to buy that black missile it has
She has* I asked if I should buy Jean Bart's weapon, but I bought that instead
i'l start with portland i guess
Or course, give me a moment
this thing, or the purple version instead of that main gun
and upgrade it
that secondary gun and AA are garbage
if you are using an autoloader at all (which you really shouldn't ever), use a purple one
and UPGRADE GEAR
portland has literally nothing upgraded though
I'll be honest, I don't know how to build, so I don't know if any of the guns really help any of my ships
I just think that if I put a good gun = more damage = good
this is outdated, but still has value
basically, AP guns on BBs have VERY niche use
your Ulrich has an AP gun (and not a good one) against a light armor boss
And just equipped shiny things, mostly
so she is doing basically nothing
But, she has good damage even if she has a bad weapon?
not at all
Is she some kind of monster or what?
can't fix a bad gun
Ulrich is top 3 BB in the entire game, but a shit gun will make her terrible
Yes, because I added recently and just give her random equipment for replacing my Shropshire
After my JB she is the my second best damage dealer
The damage depends on the type of armor?
yes, ammo has modifiers
HE is best against light and mid armor
AP best against heavy
Ooh
normal ammo sucks
Then, there are HE guns and AP guns?
It also depends on the type of gun. For example, some of the best DD and CA guns are normal ammo
yeah
But, do I have a HE gun?
The gun that Jean Bart has is an HE gun, and actually one of the best ones
Just check their ammo type
@serene wagon i picked out a loadout for your Magdeburg using the gear you have available
it could be better, but it's better than what you have
alright, that gun is already a significant improvement
Twin 410 is for ships with on-fire barrage, use mk6 for uvh
Mk6?
now her shells will actually do damage to Bristol
Well she has one too but better use a shelling gun
Mk6
The one I have on Jean Bart?
none of the gold guns even come close to this thing
Yeah, I think they're saying to have your Jean Bart and UvH swap guns
Should I swap Jean Bart's and Ulrich's guns?
Yeah better use mk6 on uvh
depends what limit break both ships are on
UvH almost max, Jean Bart max
MGM means?
main gun mount
How do I see that?
basically when she fires a salvo, she will fire 2 more after
you get one mount with first LB, another with max LB
So, UvH at 2LB does not have MGM+2 (only +1)
So keep their guns where they are, I guess
Then should I swap? Would I lose too much damage with my Jean?
no, keep guns where they are
Ok, I'm trying to give my Magde the setup you told me
I think I got this
Lvl 4 enough? Or lvl 6 needed?
if you can upgrade that main gun more it would be good, but that should be a significant improvement from the gear you had
Main gun to lvl 6?
Good, and about Portland? I just came to the conclusion I have nothing good for her rn
yeah
upgrade her main gun to +3 if nothing else
you could take Z-23's main gun and give it to portland as secondary gun
and give 23 this
upgrade to +6 if you can
that purple 120mm is actually pretty good
even with normal ammo
Woah Z23 gun is good for Portland?
the 127 DP is just a good gun in general
would have more use on portland though, as it buffs her AA
and the purple 120 i said would be higher DPS on Z-23 than the 127 DP
the gun you have on her is the best you have rn i think
its ok, but replace it when you get a gold german 203mm gun
until then upgrade to +3 at least
Good
And about Jean Bart and Ulrich
Their second gun, what purpose does it accomplish?
secondary gun is for shooting suicide boats, and others that get too close
the one you have on Ulrich isn't bad, but you don;t really have anything better to replace it with either
same for your JB
Good, and that third weapon? For planes?
yes, AA guns
Good, I guess I don't really need to change that
the one on JB is actually really good
Ulrich's AA gun would be better if it was gold, but you don;t have
and AA doesn't really become a significant problem until like W12
so it doesn't really matter for a while
I see, I have time then
I have built now my Ulrich, Jean, Portland, Magde and Z23, right?
yes
And what about my Hiyou Meta?
you really don't have much CV gear, tbh
best you could do is replace the fighter with an F4U
May I replace then her?
and maybe take Yorktown's DB if you don't use her often
I have a Warsprite
honestly just put Yorktown in
Yorktown is a pretty decent CV
or, even better
you have an Essex
use her
Good, but won't that be an issue because of lvl difference?
it would, but Essex just does more damage than Hiyou
would prob even out with Essex's barrage
and you should level Essex anyway, she's good
This is what she has rn (I've never used her, I just level her up by commissions and dorm)
you could just take the gear Hiyou has and throw it on her
except replace the figher with that extra F4U you had
F4U is the golden plane?
gold one you have is a Zero
might actually not be a bad idea,
considering the other options you have
and it buffs AVI by a bit, so Essex would do more damage
yeah
steam catapults if you have them
but those planes are actually a pretty good loadout for what you have
that DB in particular is one of the best in the game
I've got 2 but blues
better than nothing
Should I lvl them to 3 at least? Or a waste?
I have some good amount of normal plates
I don't really want to use blue or superior that much, but if I must, I do
and if you have tech boxes, you could open them to see if you get purple steam catapults
Oh, right, I got some lootboxes
but if you have lots of grey plates, you could level to +3
I've saved a lot
Should I open them all at once?
(of course craft lower levels into the purple ones)
yes
I opened "some" lootboxes
I have some golden ones, but I don't know if I should open them or not
Because of saving (?
saving for what?
unless you haven't done Akashi's quest yet, nothing needs gold boxes
I'm not done yet
With Akashi, but I remember I already opened those boxes
I got this from opening them
Mk-6 is that plane, right?
save the purple 410 for another ship (like hood)
MK-6 is the purple BB gun your JB has
Oh, your right, so now no need to swap
Tenzan is a good torp bomber too against slow moving targets, as they drop all torps directly on one target
so they can just nuke things
Good for Essex in boss fight as nukers?
yes
Great
Oh, thanks
I changed it
Now I think my fleet is completely different from what it was an hour ago
I will send last 6 pics of the ships now with their gear just to check
honestly yeah, now it's just farming for upgrades from that gear
but those setups should actually work pretty well
you have good gear on them now
now go clap Bristol in that hard mode
And an additional question, should I put an auxiliary of hp to Z23 and Magde?
both of Mag's auxs give health
Z-23 could do with a toolbox or rudder if you have one spare
anti sub gear is only needed on specific maps
also one last thing, where are your ships positioned in your fleet?
I have some I got recently opening toolboxes
The anti aerial for Z23 is good?
I'll send you how I put my team
Team positions are good 
Good!
See what a difference gear makes?
Jean Bart did more than the double damage she did before
And also Ulrich
But Z23 was mvp
What the hell, this is such a change
That purple 120 is no joke 
It took a time, but was literally a minute faster
Honestly gear is absolutely everything in this game
Last time 10 seconds more to lose, and now I had 1 minute and 14 seconds keft
But I managed to miss some shelling with Jean, if I put it on automatic
Jean will do that unfortunately
Maybe I could get even better results?
She a little pepega aim sometimes
I mean, she usually hits in automatic, but I choose manual because usually I do more damage by manually aiming
But this time I sucked at aiming, I got nervous and just nearly hit it
But still more damage than before

Good gear really does wonders
For real
And, THANK YOU SO MUCH
You literally boosted my fleet a lot, more than the double I may say
Now I think I will spam difficult on auto
The times they say, 30 times, right?
If you want all the rewards yes
I pretty much want
Before I couldn't do C and D in Ulrich event because of my level
I won't miss content this time
Well, you have a very powerful fleet now
Not as much as Ulrich and Jean, but I bet she is already more or less the same as my Hiyou that is more than 20 levels higher
Essex good
Essex good
And the more you level them, the less of them you need to clear eventually
So soon you could get oil cost down for events like this by only running 1:1
But that’s later on
For now, enjoy clapping everything in your path
Yes
Honestly I’d say even with Ulrich at 90 and Z23 at 100 ish it might be able to be done
But then it comes to if it would be fast enough
I still don’t run 1:1 for this, because I’m trying to do it with speed, so I’m using 1:2
Actually I need to sleep, but I'll try to do the boss more times before sleeping
