@hushed ember You lack tanks and that's going to be an issue. A big part of OPS is using tanky vanguards and just closing your eyes and letting it auto

<@180847638705340416> You lack tanks and that's going to be an issue. A big par...
Can you give me some tanky ships that can fit into a fleet with somewhat i already have?
oblique linden
yeah sorry got distracted by main gph. working on it
hushed ember
Or should I just search for the options on wiki and try to make them fit based on faction, etc?
hushed ember
yeah sorry got distracted by main gph. working on it
oh ok! thanks c:
oblique linden
since you're back what about kronstadt?
and I take since you're not playing much not enough rainbow bulin to MLB SMKZ and Kron?
oblique linden
Kron is Kronstadt from event? SMKZ is Shimakaze your other rainbow DD.
hushed ember
Yep. I don't have Kron but I do have shimakaze.
Here are all my ur ships
oblique linden
oh actually even NJ isn't MLB. so not enough rainbow bulin?
hushed ember
Nope. Gave it all to Shinano
This is all I have so it's gonna take some time to get another UR to mlb
*I can also retrofit yuudachi, not sure why I didnt do it nvm
oblique linden
That's fine but the inability to MLB NJ and SMKZ is unfortunate. Try to at least finish the cruise pass every two months. Last reward is a rainbow bulin. If you start actively playing again you'll get more.
hushed ember
Priority is NJ over SMKZ or the other way around?
oblique linden
NJ
hushed ember
Roger that.
This is what i put together. Is this resonable enough?
Need to fit Howe in this fleet i guess.
oblique linden
Mob: Monarch, Perseus, Howe, Minneapolis, JdA, Atago
Mixed: Nagato, Shinano, Amagi, Azuma, Poi, Sandy
BB: Richy, JB, Warspite, Sanrui, Helena, Rikka
CV: Middy, Enty, SKK, Portland, Noshiro, Belfast
oblique linden
I don't think so. OPS is mainly tanking and the CV fleet is rather weak because of levels. I'm not a big fan of Minnie in OPS or the tanking ability of Ibuki
oblique linden
they're in mob for levels
real jolt
although yea cause underlevel you can argue theres not as much tank
oblique linden
Obviously using some 120's would produce a better mob fleet but no levels
real jolt
but if anything since its underlevel you should run slightly unconventional or just cut down on the number of fleets
hushed ember
I don't mind taking a few days to lvl up some ships to 105-110
real jolt
also bruh, minneap is lvl 115, with jda thats plenty tank 
like if she was lvl 100 sure, but like there comes a point of taking more damage cause you aren't dealing enough damage
hushed ember
These are my CAs if this help:
real jolt
azuma is what dev?
hushed ember
oblique linden
It's not a big deal. You can replace Atago, IDC. eventually JdA would probably go with Richy
There's a SF lol
hushed ember
azuma is what dev?
22/30
real jolt
alright shes benched until dev 25
oblique linden

That's not enough. you want your boss fleets to be 120 or 125 which is why you would be levelling a bunch of ships in mob until they are 120 and moved to boss. Belfast and Portland for example should be replaced but Belfast is L125. It would be very hard for any L105 ship to be as good as a L125 Belfast.
real jolt
boss fleets at lvl 110+ is fine
takes more effort to do abyssals, but its not the end of the world
its more about
the gear and ship itself
rather than level
as long as level is decently high, you can overcome level disadvantage in opsi
oblique linden
Well we're not going to level any ship that isn't useful in mob 🙂
If you remove Azuma that means you need what, Noshiro to tank to for Namano? I tried that. I never liked Noshiro as tank in OPS. She isn't as tanky as she is against chapter mobs.
real jolt
i think noshiro would be tankier than an azuma under d25
oblique linden
Course L125 Noshiro is a better tank currently than most of the rest of the dock
real jolt
and that too yep
oblique linden
yeah
real jolt
fleets:
- shinano + enty + formi + noshiro + curlew + yuudachi retro
- monarch + howe + warspite + portland + helena + sandy
- richy + percy + x + minneap + rikka + ibuki
- nagato + akagi + kaga + saint louis + whatever two high level vanguard you have left
the nagato fleet is mainly filler anyway
you need to level howe a bit as well
until howe is leveld you can just use jean bart there instead, its a dropoff but its still a decent fleet nontheless
or alternatively you can just run richy jb warspite as the bb fleet, then move monarch to mob
oblique linden
I like the last better in the sense of avoiding wasting 120's not named Perseus in mob.
real jolt
thats true
hushed ember
Roger that o7
Thanks for the help guys! ❤️
