    Uhwhaaaaat? Only if Kamikaze and her sisters are allowed back for sale. Reminder: Gremy has 8 km 55knt knot torps at T5. On a Russian DD. On a Russian DD hull that also exists at T6 with more of a nerf than a buff. Gremy is still overpowered for her class to this day.

    Uninstall n00b and go play Tetris

    LOZFFVII replied to LOZFFVII's topic in Off-Topic

    Nope, the guy is just really good at Tetris. So good, he chose to style on the other 98 players in that match by playing the game to the beat of the BGM. Actually, I think it would be really difficult to program a bot to be able to do such a thing, especially when he starts T-spinning in time with the beat as well. It would be difficult just to get a bot to work on Nintendo Switch hardware alone, I think (but then I'm not an expert on hacking consoles).

    Did anyone else notice this? I'm guessing Kongou-sempai must've changed his post at the same time as he changed the name of this thread. Sadly I am on Sandy server, so I can't add you, sempai. Also, #4 Ajax, nice pick. I know, right? If I was a skk in this universe I would be demanding Smolley wear a bodysuit and underwear under her 'costume'. Minimum. If not outright telling her to find something more season-appropriate.

    I got my 5th (Roon) a while ago (during the Suruga event, iirc). Got Jintsuu weekend before last and I'm currently grinding 11-3 for Sendai. Although, I've decided I don't want to properly start the grind for Ibuki until I have not just Sendai (and I will probably stick around on 11-3 for an additional 5 copies so I can retrofit her without spending bullins) but also Yuubari retrofit comes to EN. Which means I will probably be waiting for a while...

    WG - Something has to give....

    LOZFFVII replied to Starchy_Tuber's topic in General Discussion

    Correction: The same concealment as Kagerou, Harekaze and Yukikaze, all of which can torpedo DDs. Not to mention is functionally the same as Lightning and Cossack's 5.5km. And they have hydro. And can torpedo DDs. ...Which is the same as Kagerou and Yukikaze (Harekaze if you choose the first hull), and also kiting is not the same thing as capping. Also, 'hitting hard' (i.e. high alpha damage) is not the same thing as high DPM, which Lightning and Cossack both have. High DPM is preferrable in a close-range skirmish like, oh, i don't know, in a cap. Z-23 is actually good at cap contesting, much better than Asashio, the issue is you have to be aggressive with your hydro. 5km hydro compared with your 6km detection is nothing to sniff at, especially if your enemy has chosen to smoke up, thus preventing them from seeing the Z-23 coming. You basically bully the enemy out of the cap. Yes, and this is why I described my normal game plan to you. Don't assume the team is going to support you because you headed to the cap, and if it's clear that they aren't interested in your cap, don't bother with it and instead switch to spotting duty, whilst making sure your torpedoes are constantly on their reload cycle. Your ship is more valuable alive than dead after failing to take a cap your team wasn't interested in taking.

    LOZFFVII replied to Starchy_Tuber's topic in General Discussion

    Here's the thing though...I didn't actually say that. I said that Asashio is a selfish ship, and that by playing for the team, you weren't playing her to her strengths...which is farming BBs from the flank. You see, in the scenario you presented above, you could have easily fired torps towards any of the enemy ships that were giving you problems in the cap...in literally any other T8 DD than Asashio (apart from Hsien Yang, but then HY has much better guns for cap contesting, can equip radar, and could at least send torps towards the Balansgrad). The thing about Asashio is whenever I see one on my team in the game, I just ignore them and let them do their thing - which in most cases is padding their K/D ratio and their average damage by torping the enemy BBs - and I'm certain most other players just treat Asashios as a weight they need to carry, too. Any Asashio who thinks they can actively contest a cap is sorely mistaken, and really you should have just ran away as soon as something else stopped your capture progress. That, and it takes some level of intelligence to ask "Is taking this cap worth losing my ship?" regardless of what DD you are in. I am a DD main, with 99% of my battles played solo. I treat my whole team as a random variable and never assume they know their arse from their elbow. Are there caps? Great, I know where I'm headed. Do I have any support? No? I'll bug out at the first sign of danger. Yes? Okay, I'll stay until it's clear my 'support' was all talk and no action, then I'll bug out. Yes, and my team actually follows through with the support? Excellent, we might actually win this one!

    Okay, I see your problem right here: Trying to play Asashio as though it's not a toxic, selfish DD. Quick tip: if you want to do teamplay, try playing a different DD.

    I had a couple of interesting chat convos on thursday evening, in back-to-back games playing my Atago. I hope this is the correct thread for these, as I don't want to start another one just for chatlogs. If someone can point me in the direction of where I should post these, that would be greatly appreciated. Here is the second of the two games (this is a lot shorter, so I'm putting it up first). And the first of the two games. This one's more of a doozy.

    The Thing About Destroyers...

    LOZFFVII replied to Sir_Sinksalot's topic in Newcomers' Section

    Yeesh, you're a newbie and yet you're already asking for the most OP ships? Okay, so firstly, while Akatsuki is considered pretty strong for a T7, Gadja Madah (the Pan-Asian T7) is the best T7. No ifs ands or buts, she's pretty overpowered. For T8, I don't think there's any non-premium that's considered much stronger than the rest, and they all bring something different to the table. Akizuki has excellent firepower, Kagerou has very good stealth, Lightning and Z-23 are both excellent cap contesters, Hsien Yang has access to radar (if you are fine losing smoke). (FYI, the premium Kidd is considered the strongest T8 DD, she has Heal, pretty good AA with Def Fire AA and only pays for it with the loss of a torpedo launcher, also she's a Fletcher-class DD, which basically means she's a T9 ship at T8) At T9 we start to see some clear variance. You'll be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn't consider Kitakaze to be very strong - if not overpowered. By comparison, Yuugumo and Chung Mu are considered the weakest (Yuugumo because more of your opponents won't fall into your torpedo traps so readily and Chung Mu because she and the T10 Pan-Asian, Yue Yang, got overnerfed over the past year). If I'm not mistaken, Z-46 is the first KM DD to get the KM CA signature 6km hydro, so she's pretty good at cap contesting, same goes for Z-52, the T10, but they pay for it in all other areas. Also, the brits at T9 get access to heal, giving them some staying power (but they pay for it with tiny guns that struggle to pen most of your targets, even with HE). Fletcher is considered an excellent all-rounder. At T10, Shimakaze and Yue Yang are considered the weakest (for the same reasons as their T9 elder sisters), but Shima-chan at least gets 20km lol torps if you really want to piss off your team mates. Harugumo is again considered very strong/OP like Kitakaze. Gorozovoi is supposedly an AA-DD, but I don't really have much knowledge about her, although I do have a Gearing set up for AA and it's a bit hit-and-miss. Those are all the ones I can think of, but I'm sure others will be able to fill in all the blanks. FubUki. It means 'Blizzard'. Also, most who are familiar with KanColle call her Bucky for short (not quite the same pronunciation, but close enough).

    LOZFFVII replied to Hopeless_Guppy's topic in General Discussion

    Well I ranked out yesterday evening, so here are a few comments: Assume the team with an Enty will win. When he turns out to be useless, have a few keks in chat at his expense. I only really got salty when I was one star away from ranking out, entered the C cap on Hotspot with my Lightning (from the north spawn), get radared by enemy Edin (only ship on enemy team capable of equipping radar, so I immediately called it out in team chat) and when the radar expired I was manuvring to get a better torp agle on anything trying to be sneaky in cap, only to be bum-rushed by the enemy Kagerou and Lightning and completely annihilated by the 16 torpedoes crossdrop. Ally cruisers/BBs I thought were backing me up turned out to be useless, flanking Kagerou (because of course he was flanking) got sunk before I was! And then our remaining Fantasque had a sh*t-to-brains moment and ate the enemy Fantasque's torps, all the while our Irian (at this point the last ship on our team) ran away from the low-health enemy Fantasque and towards the full-health enemy North Carolina! It's like they were trying to piss me off. Actually, do you know what really pisses me off about this particular battle? I was the only player in the entire match to be one star away from ranking out. The enemy Kagerou and Lightning that yolo'd me? Rank 10 and 8. They had nothing to lose while I did. BBs hiding around the corners of the islands of B cap on Shards have officially entered my sh*tlist. The number of times I launched single-fire torps at an enemy Vladivostok in one particular battle, only for him to start reversing about 2s before impact and have all of them miss just ground my gears so bad until I just gave up and yolo'd him. It cost me my ship, but it was so satisfying to finally kill the PoS. We won that one.
  16. LOZFFVII
    @Zemeritt I think I read somewhere that this is another feature of the IB cruisers that makes grinding Roon such a pain - they have secondaries, but they are AP and small caliber, making them pretty bad for damage-dealing. Well, not that that matters to me anymore as I got Roon just a couple of days ago. Unfortunately, Jintsuu still hasn't dropped and thus I don't want to properly start the grind for Ibuki for a little while... ...Actually I've been thinking that I'll probably wait on Ibuki until Yuubari gets her retrofit in EN. It would be way more fun to grind just to watch some of the random stuff she pulls out of her behind.
  17. LOZFFVII
    I forgot to mention this, @Marblehead_1, when you limit break a repair ship twice they get +1 ammo, which means that the fleet they are asigned to gets 6 ammo in a map instead of 5.
  18. LOZFFVII
    By getting to 100% on a map, you unlock the ability to reduce the difficulty of the map. This is useful if you intend to grind the map to get the drop-only shipgirls. Just3c explains this well:
  19. LOZFFVII
    Sorry, I shouldn't be double-posting like this, I'm just firing off this advice as it comes to me. Here's the issue: with QE as your only BB in that fleet, you lose a lot of potential damage from BB barrages (as well as the fact that by herself, QE is pretty mediocre). Not only that, but neither Lusty nor Unicorn actually have the damage output to make up for the lack of another BB. My advice, if you really want to maximise fleet efficiency is to swap Sirius for Leander (Retrofit). Leander has a cruiser buff (one which stacks with QE's buff) as well as a smokescreen - one with a different timer to Belfap's, meaning that they don't overlap (overlapping smokescreens do not add their evasion buffs). With this, you would have Monarch (middle to maximise her barrage), QE and Illustrious on either side with Neptune (bottom left/front), Leander (middle), and Belfap (top right/rear) to create the most optimal HMS fleet possible. The only way this could be more optimal is dropping Lusty entirely for DoY. Yeah, CVs are in a rough state in this game. *EDIT: Formidable could work instead of Lusty, but you've already stated you don't have Formi. True, but the way you wrote it implied that both stacked. Also, doubling up on repair kits is still a waste when the other slot could be used for something more useful (like accuracy buffs for backline or damage buffs for front/backline).
  20. LOZFFVII
    You will need Repair ships for high-level maps. Once fully limit broken they get AA Gun+1, which means that they can fire their AA gun twice in succession. This is exceptionally useful in later maps with large amounts of planes. The repairs they do is a nice bonus.
  21. LOZFFVII
    No. @Marblehead_1 Panocek is wrong on this, repair kits DO NOT STACK. Just like SG Radars and Improved AA Radars DO NOT STACK. Doubling up on repair kits is a waste of aux slots.
  22. LOZFFVII
    @Marblehead_1 https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Twin_381mm_(BL_15"_Mk_II) Is the gun Panocek is talking about here. You can get this from the data shop or via gold blueprints dropped from developments. If you ask me, if you just want to fire off the barrage as often as possible, you'll want to use this: https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Triple_283mm_(SK_C/34)#Type_3 That's the BB version of the Duetschland-class guns. The reload is about 1.3s faster than the Hood gun when maxed out, but raw gun power is much less (due to both being a lower rarity as well as normal-shell-type) - this gun is purely about getting the barrage to activate as often as possible. Also, you can get these from IronBlood tech boxes. I'm not expecting you to have this, but this is also useful: https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/High_Performance_Fire_Control_Radar You get this from the 'Fallen Wings' event. -15% on the load of your first shelling, means you can get the barrage to proc earlier. Okay, HMS team buff nothwithstanding, the synergy between these two is a bit mismatched. Sirius gives buffs to CV/CVLs, whilst also getting a self-buff from their presence. The thing is, Illustrious is not an offensive CV, infact she's almost pure defense (2 fighters+1db and a skill that gives a barrier only), so Sirius' buff to her is wasted. Sirius' self-buff applies based on the number of CV/CVLs in your fleet, having only 1 is only going to give her 7% tops instead of a possible 21%. I mean, you do you and build your own HMS fleet, don't let me stop you, just be aware that this is not maximising everyone's potential. There is no synergy here whatsoever, so I'm guessing this is a pure 'waifu' fleet.

    Cossack's AA range is only 2.48km, so there's literally no point in switching it off. Amusingly, besides playing a few games in Kaga (1 win vs 3 losses, no thanks) I've been mainly playing Cossack and Lightning and I've had a few battles with no Cruisers in them! Free reign for me!

    I typed in USN 8 inch triple turret mk9 and found this wikipedia article. Looks like she could be any from Pepsicola CA-24 down to Minneapolis CA-36. Notable ships include: Houston, Astoria and Indianapolis. ...And it's also just occurred to me that both Pensa and Northampton are mentioned in that image...
