#Gear progression
radiant mural
These are top seven craft that I currently use. My fleet does not consist of Belfast anymore, but she's a stand-in to help clear D3 and decrease it's threat level to where it's more comfortable for Kron and Kiev
The gearboxes on Neptune and Belfast will be moved to Kiev again once threat level is reduced
The gear shown in the photos is mostly all of my best gear
So... Where do I start at improving my gear for a nice boost (aside from golden steering wheels)?

Just check here for gear https://imgur.com/a/TNpH1rL

Also don't use a DD gun on Warspite
gusty walrus
Using a CL gun both makes her intercept better and also frees up the twin 127 for other uses
radiant mural
I don't have any regard for what she uses. It's a placeholder.

You're asking about gear improvements and then telling us that you don't care about gear improvements when suggested one
radiant mural
I'm asking for help in everything BUT that
I didn't think I'd have to repeat myself a third time
gusty walrus
Get tigercats, triple 155mm Kai, white/black shells from the core shop
Maybe move Neptune's STAAG to something that hits harder like Warspite
Saratoga does better with a second helldiver than a BTD
radiant mural
The BTD is unfortunately the best I have in stock. If I can get another Helldiver, I'll make sure to replace
Could you show the Triple 155mm Kai?
gusty walrus
It's the CL gun on the top of that gear lab chart
Roughly a chappygun sidegrade for any non-AP locked CL
radiant mural
Ah
Also, turns out I do have a second Helldiver. Neat
gusty walrus
You can also choose to use Ryuusei/gear lab stuka instead of a Barracuda for bossing on Centaur
radiant mural
I unfortunately cannot craft anything from the Gear Lab yet. Should I grind out some OpSi to make SR materials much more easier to obtain?
gusty walrus
I mean, OpSi should be played daily, so probably, though events will take priority
gusty walrus
If you run low on oil or morale you can salts grind OpSi for a while
Mostly the PR4 Me109g and the PR3 triple 406mm mle
radiant mural
I'll get to work on those then. Thank you
naive verge
Is there anything that I should grab from within these?
Do /protocore in #bot-spam but the main ones are pr3 406mm/50 and pr4 bf-109g
gusty walrus
But when you do get a spare gold triple 155mm (like what you have on Belfast) put it on Warspite
radiant mural
Will do. Thanks a lot
gusty walrus
I don't care if you are indifferent to aux guns, but 25 extra FP for a BB is still something
radiant mural
I am aware, it's just far from my focus ATM. I changed it out for a better DD gun that also gives +10 more FP for the time being
gusty walrus
+10 fp? Did you use a gold twin 128mm?
gusty walrus
Yes I know what you meant, the gold 128mm gives +30/15 instead of the +20/25 of the 127
radiant mural
What makes the 406m/50 so great?
gusty walrus
It's the strongest AP shelling gun
gusty walrus
Good damage mods on top of high accuracy and improved shell velocity
radiant mural
Ah, I just looked at the base reload and damage is all
naive verge
as in enemies are less likely to dodge a direct hit than other guns
gusty walrus
It's a directly better gun than the triple 410mm you currently have on Warspite, albeit by a relatively small margin
The PR4 me109g will likely offer you something more unique, sacrificing AA ability for extremely consistent single target damage vs light/medium armor targets
radiant mural
I'll be sure to grab both. Shouldn't be hard at all
