OpSi BB fleet management

[analog sage]

Hi, are there any BBs I should be switching out of here for better options?

[jaunty plover]

Send screenshot of your current setup

[analog sage]

Probably for the vanguard atleast will switch out Jeanne d arc for Aurora

[jaunty plover]

Dont use prince of wales without a full uss team

[analog sage]

And Ap tank was going to go Kron

[jaunty plover]

You can go uh, prince of whales enterprise and tico if you have tico

[analog sage]

Wales has vanguard rn for her buff

Enty is Cv fleet

Mob

Cv

[jaunty plover]

Howe would be better than war kai on your hms fleet

And you can put a dork instead of prince of wales

[analog sage]

Don’t have Duke yet

[jaunty plover]

You will soon enough so im just saying in advance lol

Pity on wa and all that

[jaunty plover]

Wait do you have kron?

[analog sage]

Yes

[jaunty plover]

I dont see her

Oh

[analog sage]

thats BB filter for bb fleets

[jaunty plover]

Ye i just dont see her on your vanguard

[analog sage]

cause shes not on it yet, shes only 115

[jaunty plover]

I mean besides dork and uh, howe, your fleet looks fine

[jaunty plover]

Just level

[jaunty plover]

Should raise level on other vanguards as well, but you already know that

[analog sage]

What if Howe instead of Wales?

[jaunty plover]

Monarch howe war kai? Works

[analog sage]

that way kron instead of portland

[jaunty plover]

Also uh yuudachi main tank is uh

Bad

[analog sage]

Well, yeah, but i dont have any decent IJN

[jaunty plover]

Youd rather just swap over chikuma to nagato fleet

And put kron

[jaunty plover]

You dont have to force a ijn vanguard btw

I mean nagato is nice and all but, its only a bonus

[analog sage]

Well im using it as Nagato is decently leveled and skilled, and Shima/Yuudog too, so i built around it

thats all my IJN vanguard

[jaunty plover]

Yea im saying you dont have to strictly ijn frontline

But chikuma

[analog sage]

well if im partially doing ijn, may jsut go full ijn mob

[jaunty plover]

Put chikuma and replace poi

[analog sage]

Chikuma is HE tank rn

[jaunty plover]

Cuz shes a lot more tanky

[analog sage]

and lvl 70 max lvl capped without mlb

[jaunty plover]

Ye and put kron on he fleet

[analog sage]

Kron was going to be on Ap, unless port on He, and then Chikuma on Ijn

[jaunty plover]

Why kron specifically on ap fleet

You arent limited to putting her there

[analog sage]

Cause removing the Wales/Uss buff

for Howe

[jaunty plover]

Ah true

Ok here is what you can do

Put duke of york on your bb team replacing war kai

And put helena on your cv team

Cuz duke of york debuff is the same as helena

Additive to helena

[analog sage]

no duke yet, this is a fix for now i guess

[jaunty plover]

You gain more overall damage if you spread it out to another fleet

As for portland, she can stay, portland is good tank regardless of uss

Put chikuma on nagato team and replace poi, or just remove ibuki and keep poi

And put kron in your french team

[analog sage]

Monarch/Warspite/Howe/Kron/Helena/Monty - AP
Richi/Jean B/Geni M/Port/Aurora/Saint Louis - He
Nagato/Akagi Mu/Kaga/Chikuma/Shima/Ibuki - Mob
Centaur/Enty/Ark/Adal/Swiftsure/Sirius - Cv

Hows that?

[jaunty plover]

Yea works

Just make sure stuffs are properly leveled before doing arbiter

Like 115+

[analog sage]

Well i wont be doing hard for idk how long, as i need bulins for mlb

[jaunty plover]

As for sub fleet, you can get a really good sub fleet from special pool

So wait for wishing well

Sub fleet basically is useless in 99% of the game until these extremely difficult content

Where you want that extra damage bad

[analog sage]

I have 2 gold KMS subs, though one is lvl 90 and needs mlb
Current is U-556/U-101/U-522

other gold sub is U-47

i also have I-19/I-168 from IJN, but theyre not good apparently, KMS fleet is better(other golds, i got like 13 subs in total)

[jaunty plover]

Replace u522 with u47

[analog sage]

47 isnt mlb

[jaunty plover]

You wont be using subs anyway till actual arbiter level threat

[jaunty plover]

So just having her on team woudnt hurt

[analog sage]

oh wait, nvm shes mlb now

idk when i did tha

[jaunty plover]

You can also pull u81 and u96 from special pool, which are drastically better than u101 and 556

Just extra upgrades you can get

[analog sage]

ben trying

[jaunty plover]

Yea pulling special is pain

[analog sage]

ok locking this fleet in

Should I change the Sub fleet order?

[jaunty plover]

Its fine

In the future tho, when you get more pr ships

You can put a mainz in, and a anchorage

Ofc all the rainbow ones too but they take so long

[analog sage]

Idk if any Cvs would be better than the ones I got now

[analog sage]

i dont own those

[jaunty plover]

They are pr ships

Gold ones

So you will get them

Eventually

[analog sage]

Azuma is currently almost finished researching, jsut need 50k, and xp

[jaunty plover]

Its more dev level and bp that matters

Azuma take like 2 weeks to get

[analog sage]

i got enough Bp to get Dev 30 i think

[jaunty plover]

Oh nice

You need 513 prints

[analog sage]

wait is it 513 for Dev30?

ah

[jaunty plover]

For rainbow ships yea

[analog sage]

i got 370 rn, so Dev25

was looking at the /devbp command

[jaunty plover]

Btw next ur event is shinano i heard

So

If shinano event is real, go get her for your ijn fleet

[analog sage]

Everytime ive gotten Dr prints, i convert to Azuma as shes first Dr and im doing every Pr/Dr from Pr1 > Pr4

[jaunty plover]

After azuma you should try either fdg or haku as your next rainbow

[analog sage]

FdG is next yes

[jaunty plover]

Nagato shinano haku is very high pp damage

Issue is getting haku to max

And the fleet tech required to pull that off

Its very expensive but pays off

[analog sage]

Yeah I’m not doing that good

[jaunty plover]

Oh no these are just the beginning

What i meant by fleet tech is

After you max level all these right

You level 120 random trash ships

Cuz you know level 120 a ship boost a stat by 1 level

For all the ships in the class

[analog sage]

im always trying to level ships to 120, then switch to others

[jaunty plover]

So you level 120 like 30 trash ships for 30 higher reload stat for example

For your cv fleet

Basically its very endgame stuff

[analog sage]

So like doing all these to 120?

[jaunty plover]

Well theres a list on the wiki page of fleet tech

Like, some trash ships boost cv aviation

[analog sage]

Does it take commons ships less experience to get to 120 than a blue/purple/gold?

[jaunty plover]

Some trash ships boost cv evasion

[jaunty plover]

No

[analog sage]

oh i was jsut using as example for trash ships lol

[jaunty plover]

Oh yea, there are white ones

Blue ones too

And purple and gold too

Its random

[analog sage]

What would be highest priority then? Reload for Cvs/Bbs?

[jaunty plover]

Yea do that first

Then do bb and cv hit

For crit and not missing god damn hits

Cuz crit rate in this game is affected by your hit stat

[analog sage]

Hit is accuracy correct?

[jaunty plover]

Then fire power and aviation for bb and cv

[jaunty plover]

Yea

[analog sage]

you said theres like a guide for what ship gives what?

[jaunty plover]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Fleet_Technology

On this page you can see which ships boost what on lvl 120 yea

[analog sage]

oh nice

[jaunty plover]

Biggest challenge is ofc maxing 17 random trash ships

For rld

[analog sage]

hardest part is acquiring said ships

[jaunty plover]

Oh yea

A lot of those are limited

[analog sage]

is there no sort feature for each buff?

[jaunty plover]

I dont think so

You have to manually scroll through the page

Its more sorted by ship class

[analog sage]

i have to click on each tab for DD, cl, ca/bm/cb, etc

[jaunty plover]

Yea

Then find the stat you want to upgrade

Then the ship

[keen charm]

Just Favorite them. EZ

Getting those to 120 is easy now cause of the exp packs and those CV's can still handle 12-4 with the right gear

[keen charm]

They're not trash if they can still get the job done

Not done with BB's yet but they're faster to level than CV's since you only need 12

[jaunty plover]

Yea they are trash to me

Cuz never using them

They can be good for you or other new players tho

How good a ship is to a player is relative to said player’s roster

And by that definition, most if not all ships i am forced to end up leveling and maxing from lvl 1 for the specific reason of fleet tech to me hold no value after reaching lvl 120, hence i call them trash
