>>999839 Realistically you only care about the top. For leveling, that is events and campaign up to and including w12, the only planes you need are helldivers, gold or purple hellcats and barracudas. If you struggle with that you either don't have it +10 or need to level your ships more in previous map. For hard content you want all the UR planes with the exception of spearfish (overpriced for what it does). Then the rocket hellcats and bf-109. Ryusei and the new Ryusei Kai from this event. Ju-87, Saiun and Vit-2 Flapjack/Tigercat. I'd say 3 of each is good start. There can be occasional meme used for like timing purposes in META showdowns, you get those as they come. The shit in between is nice to have if you can get it as side product from events or research, but i wouldn't waste gear lab resources on it.

>>999997 Okay so what I need are this: >Fighters: - Flying Flapjack - F7F Tigercat - Sea Hornet (big maybe because the guide says its expensive to craft). - BF-109G Something like this?

>>1000053 Flapjack/Tigercat/Sea Hornet are perfectly interchangeable. Flapjack has edge, but a little one. But you want these for w15 so depending on where you are they are low priority. Gold hellcat is fine till then. BF-109 and the rocket/hvar hellcat are for bosses. Rocket hellcats are currently locked behind event so you are out of luck there.

Real

>>1000102 >so depending on where you are they are low priority I'm on 11-3 (25%). What I'm mostly been doing (other than trying to progress in campaign) are: - OpSi (to get my red loggers so I can auto-battle past META botes). - Hard mode stages of previous compain maps (currently right now I'm grinding 8-1 for Inazuma / BPs to fully retrofit my DDs). - WA maps (currently doing the event that gives Seydiltz and although I've got her I'm going to keep going until I've done D3 60 times). - Comissions - Daily Raids - Exercises (I've been lacking that). >Rocket hellcats are currently locked behind event so you are out of luck there. I wasn't going to write that down in my text pad. I was mostly focusing on ones that can be crafted in the gear lab (when I have the proper materials) But things like: >AA meme. >For synching ONLY >Good Poverty Option (maybe). I was gonna avoid adding these.

>>1000152 Forgot to add: >Worse AA (even if it says faster) I'm half tempted to add this too.

>>999839 If you don't mind another wall of text from me.. :) Not sure why you need to do another list for your self when the guide already told you everything. I guess, because you kinda confuse in what that guide try to tell you. Let's go back a bit and lets me told you this... All combat, battle, sortie in AL can seperate in 2 type. 1. Solo boss fight : this include META showdown, Opsi boss, Monthly chalange, EX stage in event. 2. Everything else (in guide its call general use) : this include campaign (include boss node because boss summon a lots of enemies), every Opsi that not boss, everything that not single boss. This two type of battle require different gears. For sample if you ask about fighter 1. Solo boss need to different in 3 type depend on what boss's armor type. 1.1 Light armor boss : best is gold F6F Hellcat HVAR 1.2 Meduim armor boss : best is Rainbow La-9 1.3 Heavy armor boss : None, all fighter do very shit on heavy armor. 2. General use : best is Flapjack Now you understand this, pls look at guide (pic) again. Notice why they seperate in column right? Yes they try to told you the same I just told you. Also the higher up are better. Note: Flapjack are greatest not just because DPS, but its also cheaper than its competitor, its cheaper than TigerCat and SeaHornet Hopefully this make you understand that table more.

>>1000195 this again? i guess i'll take this chance to rant about how much i hate sentient rigging (especially the iron blood dragons and shit). it clashes with my idealized image of shipgirls, where they should be in complete control of their power and not have any of it delegated to some sort of pet i prefer rigging that's just turrets, superstructure, torpedo tubes and hull pieces maybe with some fantastical/symbolic elements in the background

>>999839 Next, I have some suggestion about carfting in gear lab. If the thing use purple or blue mats. Don't worry, you probably never run out of purple and blue mats, so long as you still playing in Opsi every month. If its use gold mats, beware a bit. Gold mats come up so slow. Expecially "Military-Grade Electric Component", this shit use in a lot of gears and alway be the bottle neck when you craft anything. Try to jugde by yourself, is it worth to craft or use it to craft other things. Also beware anything that use "T2 Ordnance Testing Report". Because you can use 8 of these to compose T3 (rainbow one). If you want to craft UR gears. Honestly I will suggest, just keep hoarding all the rainbow mats and only craft that thing when you need them. Because you don't know when it will get powercrept, you don't want to craft some gun and never use it until one day when you want, its actually get powercrept by new one, right? Also, I suggest to hoarding all gold plate too. Don't randomly +13 shit for giggle. Hoarding them, and use them when you actually need them. >when is "when you need"? I means when you start to serious tackle at META showdown or you actually stuck in some content (probably W14 or W15) Again, its just my suggestion. Don't worry too much, you can't brick your game, its just wasting time. I also +13 some wrong gears sometimes too.

>>1000273 I'll answer your first question as best as I can. Do you see the guide pic you posted? If you go to where it shows 'Flapjack' it tells you under description that you've no way in knowing how to make it. The only way you know how to make it is if you scroll a wee bit down to the 'F4U Corsair' where its description says it can be used for creating Flapjack. Of course the game itself tells you how to create them but I was wanting it done in a simplified manner so I don't have to keep checking to see what planes to keep or not. Its why I've written something like this in my text pad: >Sea Hornet = Crafted from an Seafire FR.47 (Gold) <--- EXPENSIVE Plus like, I'm a tab hoarder and the more tabs I've opened up the slower my laptop goes. That's why I'm writing down all the best gear I can make. Did that make sense? Also just to make sure I understand correctly, Light/Medium/Heavy bosses are the ones found in OpSi correct? And that's where the rocket's are used for? --- >Try to jugde by yourself, is it worth to craft or use it to craft other things. I don't want to be rude when I say this but this is particularly why I'm looking up the guides in the first place. Like, from the top of my head here's the kind of useless things I've crafted: >Swordfish Mk II-ASV (ASW) >Twin 105mm SK C/33 na AA Gun Mount >Tenzan Kai >Suisei Model 21 +10 >Suisei Model 12A >Type 2 Seaplane Fighter >Fi 167 >Prototype Fw 190 A-5 (Carrier-based) +6 >Ar 195 This is what I usually make if I don't look up a guide and just want to play normally. But I know I'm coming up for harder stuff and because I've no clue what to make, I look up a guide so I know what planes (or gear is needed). At least I now know that I don't need to worry about b/p mats as long as I keep playing OpSi. I greatly appreciate that and I'll just need to learn to hoarde things so I can craft things (when I need it) easily. I assume the amazing mats drop on harder enemies in OpSi?

explain

>>1000450 Well, some ice creams have symbols on their wooden sticks. Usually they're used in promotions where if you find the rare one, you get a prize.

>>1000435 >Did that make sense? Uh.. don't know, but you do you, who am I to judge you. >Light/Medium/Heavy bosses are the ones found in OpSi correct? No, all units in this game have one type of armor, even your botes have armor type (pic). And we seperate best gear for solo boss because its solo, so you can choose best gun/plane that do the best damage for their armor type. We don't seperate its in general use because you need to fight all armor type at same time, so we choose the best all around. >And that's where the rocket's are used for? No, rocket fighter use for boss because its not intercept, but its deal a lot of ground damage. Fighter that use in general use mostly do a lot lower ground damage but it has good intercept. Note : By intercept, I means when enemies send their plane, your CV/CVL will send fighter to intercept them. Note2: Flapjack is the best in general use because its best in intercept. >Try to jugde by yourself, is it worth to craft or use it to craft other things. I mean, did you need xx "now". Or maybe you can use same mats to craft yy and its can help you "now". Something like that. Again, planning a bit but dont worry too much. Everyone craft shity gear from mistake or for giggle all the time. (especially me lol)

>>1000450 JACKPOT!!

>>1000507 I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough in my first part. For part 2, I genuinely didn't think our own botes had armour at all. Then again I never paid attention to that bit of detail so that's my own fault there. I just thought bosses had armour types so you'd need to use certain planes to soften them up. The 'seperate gear' part I 'think' I kinda understand it... honestly I'm still kinda puzzled (because I prefer things simplified) but at least I can rely on the guide (which I haven't crossed off) if I get confused. Okay so basically rocket's are for bosses that can't intercept? Or am I reading that wrongly? Also for the very last part. I mentioned I created these planes no? >Suisei Model 21 (equipped by Hyuuga / Ise. They can't make the most of it because I haven't fully levelled them to unlock their 'tactical learning'). >Suisei Model 12A >Tenzan Kai The first plane they can't be used to their full potentional but planes 2 and 3 aren't equipped by my 'main CVL / CV'. There's also the 2 Flapjacks I crafted (ones on Unicorn and another on Princeton). Why can't I put the second on one of my main CV / CVL? because I get this message: >Please sort or expand your storage. Also before I was using the flapjack, this was the fighter Unicorn was using: >Type 0 Fighter Model 52 (Gold and at +6).

>>1000450 What's this?

>>1000551 Skk dick

>>1000562 False, mine is vanilla flavored

>>1000541 >I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough in my first part. Uh.. no, Its already clear. I can't judge because I myself already remember all the things I need/keep/scrap. But for anyone that still didn't remember, maybe that make sense. >about best gear and armor type Actually, its depend on what type of botes. BB : we choose best damage for armor type. CV/CVL : damage and pattern of attack Vanguard : Some botes need fast gun to activate skill , else we just choose from DPS. Well, you can see all of this in that guide, its already seperate in columns. >Suisei Model 21 Best for their kind, but all their kind are suck. its can't be help. >Suisei Model 12A Suck, but its use to build Tenrai. So that not a waste. >Tenzan Kai Deal good damage but its easily to miss. Hard to use. If you use it in early game (less enemies), you ll see it miss alot. Easier to use in late game with a lot of enemies on screen. Also very cheap to craft. >Why can't I put the second on one of my main CV / CVL? Not sure what you means. Do you mean you can't put Fighter in Torpedo bomber slot? (pic) . Yes, you can't do that. Do you mean you can't put another fighter in fighter slot that already equip? Yes , you don't need to put another, equip one and she will send multiple depend on the bote. >Please sort or expand your storage. Isn't this message mean your Depot full? Sorry, I can't help much in last part. Kinda confuse in what you ask. Honestly, I think you should show your screen cap (and maybe mark an arrow too), it ll a much easier to understand tho.

More phoenix Manjuu give a skin or retrofit for her right fucking now

>>1000349 I know it's autism, but honestly, same. I prefer when rigging is an extension of bote's body that she has perfect control over. The more proficient she becomes with her rigging, the stronger her fighting style becomes. Sentient riggings makes it feels like some Pokemon scenario where she's useless on her own and depends on her "pet" for fighting. Then again we had sentient rigging as early as Leipzig, so it's not like it's a new thing, Manjuu was always toying with the idea.

>>1000349 I still prefer Arpeggio of Blue Steel's take. You'd get a cute girl who loves (you) and a full scale superscience warship that also serves as a reconfigurable love nest.

>>1000743 Our botes can also create mass production full scale ships. It's how skk gets around too in the open sea events.

Also, rigging size creep is great. We need to go bigger.

>>1000772 Are they creating them, or are they built? Regardless, cute girls on giant ships just strikes me better. I won't complain about cute girls with cannons strapped on, but it's a different vibe.

>>1000743 >Start watching Arpeggio of Blue Steel >Highschool crew >Stop watching Arpeggio of Blue Steel

>>1000818 just imagin they bumping eash other KLING! KLANG! KLONG!

>>1000708 I remember back when she was still considered meta and CN would advise to farm maps using non-MLB Phoenix for max oil efficency. First time I managed to beat event on hard mode it was thanks to how great her zombie tanking was too. >Manjuu give a skin or retrofit for her right fucking now What's funny is that there's more chances she'll get META over any of that.

>>1000349 I feel the same way, granted I was fine with earlier IB rigs such as Bismark and Tirpitz since the dragon elements were far more subdued and you still saw a good amount of the regular parts of the ship represented in the rig, felt like it used to bea good compromise to make them distinct without ruining the overall ship theme

>>1000831 It'd be >KLANG! KLANG! KLANG! >SCREEEEEEE! RAAAWR! SKREEEEEEEE!

>>1000839 Even with oil cap today, i am still using low cost fleet like Nevada + Cassin/Downes for grinding events. Old habits die hard.

>>1000839 > non-MLB You know that Cn servers are different from En servers, right? You can use non-MLB botes there at level 100, while on En servers you can only use them at level 70.

>>1000818 That whole fleet combined still weights less than Formidable btw. >>1000908 Back then even on EN some people would still tell me they did non-MLB farming but I always thought it was something way too autistic. Thank Manjuugods for oil cap.

>>1000984 I'm getting butthurt from the fact that the fucking chinks are making a fleet that requires 3 oil, they don't need oil cap.

>>1000647 I'll need to take another look at the guide and just write down what is more important and what isn't. I'll also stop talking about that part now because if I keep going I feel like I'll just hurt my head trying to understand it all. Nevertheless I do appreciate your help and being patient with me. >Suisei Model 21 That kinda sucks that I won't be able to use Hyuuga / Ise to their full extent when I get round to it. But its nice to hear that the plane is the best. Now I know I won't need to slap something like: >Seiran On them. Because that's something I could see myself doing. That's kinda good news for Tenzan Kai though. I don't think I'll upgrade it further. The "why can't I put the second on one (It should have been why can't I put the second one on) on my main CV / CVL" meant that I couldn't put the second Flapjack on another bote (ie: Long Island) because it would say my storage is full and I need to sort it. My bad for not being clear on that. >Isn't this message mean your Depot full? That is correct. What it means (because I'm iffy on what to scrap) is that I'll need to put useless gear on other botes (that I don't use but have only 1 of) so that I'll be able to take the Flapjack off Princeton and put it on Long Island. On the very last part I was just telling you what fighter it was that unicorn was using before I created the flapjack. Also I don't know how to screen cap ingame (I play on my phone) and if I did I wouldn't do it because I'd be scared I'd dox myself. On an unrelated note: I STILL can't get Asama to drop. D3's drop list is 99% complete (Asama is the only one left) but she just refuses to grace me.
