@plucky marten repost here

[plucky marten]

Ok thanks

[peak iron]

post your dock, your ship list

[plucky marten]

Ok

[stable pendant]

Image like what I just posted

[stuck kelp]

[plucky marten]

Top part of dock

[peak iron]

okay, just for this thread's sake

[stuck kelp]

well richie probably better than belo

[peak iron]

what is your current goal for your fleet?

what map are you working on?

also please repost the current mob and boss lineup you have

[plucky marten]

10-3, I keep losing idk why

[noble cosmos]

hood is flagship for your boss fleet?

[plucky marten]

Yeah

[noble cosmos]

well, 10-3 has 2 BBs constantly firing at your flagship

and Hood has med armor

[peak iron]

perhaps belo and hood should switch places

hood is pretty squishy as a boss flag

[plucky marten]

I plan to replace hood with Uvh but I'm still geeting skills up

[noble cosmos]

UVH is not a good flagship

[peak iron]

yeah, but uvh will be better off flag as boss fleet, warspite can take boss flag

uvh will be good fire support

another question, what does belo and warspite have as their secondary guns?

[plucky marten]

Can I repost all the ship gears I have?

[peak iron]

go ahead, this thread is for you. post what you need to show what you have

[noble cosmos]

why do you have so much ASW gear

[peak iron]

Yeah, you have some serious gearing problems contributing to your problems right now

[plucky marten]

Oh
This must be the reason then

[peak iron]

most likely

let's go one ship at a time

do you have other bb guns for hood?

410 twin purple for example

that gun she has right now is not very helpful

[plucky marten]

I'll check

[peak iron]

also do you have any shells? Type 91 or Type 1, they are auxiliaries that look like big bullets

[plucky marten]

Yeah the 410 is there

[peak iron]

that is your best option for hood then.

+6 should be enough

[plucky marten]

And 2 type 91s

[peak iron]

you want those on belo and warpsite, it upgrades their damage output

will you be able to max out your belorussiya soon?

that third salvo the final lb is a major damage output upgrade

[plucky marten]

Yeah I plan to max lb Belo after Enterprise

[peak iron]

+6 on the type 91s should be enough

okay good

may i see your light cruiser gun inventory

[plucky marten]

Ok

[stuck kelp]

well hood belo and enty arent mlb...

wait did nobody else notice that

oh nvm

[plucky marten]

True, I'm waiting on purins so I can mlb them

[stuck kelp]

i cant read

for vgs put toolbox if u can, and on portland/adalbert blue rudder/naval camo

[peak iron]

you're gonna want more tbtsk guns like what neptune has, the cleveland triple is better for secondaries as a transitional

[plucky marten]

What's vgs?

[peak iron]

also something for you to keep in mind moving forward, most purple guns, just keep them at +6 and conserve your purple plates

vg is vanguard, the front row

[plucky marten]

Oh makes sense

[stuck kelp]

vanguards

[peak iron]

410 twin he, and tbtskc gun are exceptions

should be okay to +8 or +10 later on if you still lack upgrades

[stuck kelp]

*if u need more dmg +8 is fine, newbie missions require u to +8 multiple gears

[peak iron]

by upgrade i mean better guns

[stuck kelp]

just +8 good gear like twin410 etc, can +10 406mk6, etc

[plucky marten]

I ended up getting a bunch of purples to plus 8 for the mission

[stuck kelp]

u shouldnt be afraid to +10 either, +6 will not be enough eventually

[peak iron]

those are already done, so don't worry about those, this is concerning your future equipment upgrades to keep in mind.

[stuck kelp]

main thing youll lack is aux plates anyway

so you can +10 guns and torps just fine

[plucky marten]

Rn I lack purp main gun plates

[stuck kelp]

i have multiple +10 purple guns actually, and a bunch of +10 purple torps

[peak iron]

yeah that's going to be the case for a while, even long after lvl 100, this is why you want to have a conservative mindset towards what you invest them in

[plucky marten]

About the asw stuff, idk what to replace them with?

[stuck kelp]

again knowing what to + is most important

if you are struggling, +10 is what you should do

on good gear

[plucky marten]

Ok

[stuck kelp]

toolkit

[peak iron]

toolbox+ extinguisher on dd, purple dd priority on dd

blue toolboxes and rudders/gyro/paint go on cruisers

[plucky marten]

Ok

[peak iron]

but replace blue toolboxes with purples as those turn up

[plucky marten]

Of course

Wait I'll get all my auxs

[peak iron]

blues just +3 them, paint and rudders can go up to +6/+7

[stuck kelp]

you can +6 a single fire extinguisher too

for mob flag in w10

+6ing is cheap anyway

[plucky marten]

Ok

One more thing, I noticed my airstrikes not doing much damage

Is there any way to fix that?

Specifically enterprises airstrikes

[peak iron]

#1 is enty skill maxed?

also go ahead and post those auxes thay may be related to your cv damage problems

[stuck kelp]

she needs to be mlb

and relies on her skill

[plucky marten]

Yes

[stuck kelp]

also put purple helldiver on her

[plucky marten]

All of my unused auxes

[stuck kelp]

btd1 is shit

[peak iron]

btd is bait, also please post your planes

me 155 is also bait, no surface damage

[plucky marten]

Dive bombers

[peak iron]

sb2c and ju-87 are good dive bombers

i'd take those over the btd

suisei is fast, but also lacking in damage

[plucky marten]

Fighters

[stuck kelp]

+8 btds

at least u can salvage the plates later by crafting skypirate i guess

[peak iron]

the 7 corsairs you have are better than the messerschmitt

[stuck kelp]

both corsair and purple hellcat (corsair > hellcat) are way better than messershit

also purple seafang is ok too ig

[plucky marten]

Torp bombers

[peak iron]

focus your best gear on the ships you have in the boss fleet since they need to do the most damage

since your mobs have a healer topping them off, they can have the second best

[plucky marten]

Alright

I'm going to post unused gears here, tell me if any are good

[peak iron]

what have decided on for the revised fleet lineup?

mob hood/formi/uni + port/bel/nep

boss mlb belo/warspite/mlb enty + adal/z23/sandy

should work with revised gearing

[plucky marten]

For now I will switch Belo and hood

Other unused gear

[stuck kelp]

ok well that +8 gold bb gun is shit, it has normal ammo

purple twin 203 is a decent transitional CA gun

purple twin 152 is a basic but useful intercept gun as BB auxgun

twin 120mm dd gun is great transitional dd gun, i have several at +10 its solid

[peak iron]

z23 is better using dd guns than cruiser guns, that twin 127 gold will do okay as an interim , can be used as a secondary on a future gun ca/cl as a secondary

[plucky marten]

Ok I'll change that

[stuck kelp]

could also use twin120 its cheaper to upgrade

and similar dps

[peak iron]

twin 120 is good too, and decent secondary in the future

[plucky marten]

In that case I'll use the twin120

Is this bb gun any good?

[stuck kelp]

no

[peak iron]

no

[plucky marten]

K

[peak iron]

have you been spending core data from hard mode?

[plucky marten]

Yes, I spent it on getting the super heavy shell and type 1 ap shell for warspite, though I still have 750 left

[peak iron]

okay you'll want at least 3 sets of those two

[plucky marten]

About core data, is there anything else in the core shop that's worth buying?

[peak iron]

/coredata

go to botspam channel and type either /core or /coredata

a chart should turn up and explains which gears are worthwhile

that bot has a lot of charts that are useful for equipment minmaxing

[plucky marten]

Good to know

[peak iron]

https://imgur.com/a/TNpH1rL

this page is also an archive that has that among other minmaxy things

[plucky marten]

I'll take a look through it later

[peak iron]

good thing to read through will be very helpful

[plucky marten]

For now that's it

I think I'll make it through, so thank you very much for helping me out

I'll see you later, hopefully
