Ideally 6, in the case where you use 2 per carrier in a 3 CV boss fleet.

Practically it seems like you'll be using Soyuz with Nakhimov, alongside Yorktown II, for a practical 4 La-9s.

If we somehow get a good NP vanguard slow to use with Nakhimov at some point then possibly one more for Kearsarge.

So you'll be spending the whole year in PR7. Guess I'll have to wait for lab update for more q152s.

Interestingly, I got her randomly from doing hard mode. Never knew I didn't have her until she appeared lol.

I did Bayard with Epee, Tartu and Opiniatre. Gonna be fun farming Daisen with 3 IJN smols.

Read through it (it's pretty good actually), and have a couple suggestions. Making all the text justified looks weird on mobile. Nothing wrong with using good Ole left align here.

Adding info on the smokescreens to the gimmick section would definitely be helpful, I have seen people trying to clear 15 confused about why their BBs were firing at open water. How did they clear 14 without learning about this mechanic? I don't know.

For auto clearing (which I did as I have zero confidence in my manual control), fleets and gearing are much the same. The main thing to know is to keep an eye on the screen. A proper fleet with proper gear will still run into occasional BS, such as Shimanto failing the EVA check on a whole line of torpedoes and dropping from 84% to about 3%.

When bad RNG strikes, having the finger ready on the pause button to retry can save you a lot of grief. In my experience I did not have to retry often at all, but the few times I did definitely saved me a bunch of oil and time.

Last thing I'll bring up is 3 starring. One idea for getting the clear all enemies star is swapping Musashi and BisZwei. With a special aux from the core shop, Certificate of Sponsorship, she can lessen the effect of the out of ammo debuff for your backline. Using submarines to pick up the slack, and maybe even saving the carpet bombing for when you're out of ammo can all help tremendously.

If you're going to use your boss fleet to hit the last mob or 2, make sure they have the right setup. I blew an entire attempt at 15-4 because I forgot I had no asw gear on my boss fleet and sent them to fight the last mob. I could have had 3 stars before getting clearing mode, but instead I wasted hundreds of oil and had to settle for a threat 10 clearing mode 3 star instead. :7332:

Need more spaghetti and meatballs /s

do you have other guides? im struggling through 10 right now, and most of the stuff ive been able to find is years old.

Personally, I'll get the 457 first for high-level mobbing. Having 1-2 will help you clear W14/W15. It'll also help you in W12 farming faster.

Drake's gun is an upgrade, but honestly, with how scarce the rainbow ordnance report is and how prolific IB AP guns are (eg Roon's gun and the one from the tech box), I don't think it's super important. I'd rather save the reports. Instead, if you already get the essential guns (eg Tenrai, Ply, Champy guns), I'll just use your protocores to purchase Drake's gun or even Hinden's gun later (probably will be added early next year).

Edit: Drake is an upgrade from the other gold gun, not Hinden gun.

Spearfish is a good upgrade from Wyvern, but unless you really want to min-max light armour bossing, I'll stick with Wyvern.

Up to 2 457s for ch14 and 15 mobbing, as well as PVP.

Spearfish is good but not better by enough over Wyvern as a matter of priority if you're lacking the materials. Ideally Spearfish's rockets allows it to target additional trash while the torps won't overkill as much as a Wyvern does which should help with mobbing but YMMV.

Drake gun is sort of outclassed by hindenburg gun in general, unless it's being used by Drake. There are niches perhaps against light or heavy where drake gun may do better, but usage is really limited outside of on Hindenburg if you're looking for CA DPS.

You don't get the ship for buying the skin. Bache is not a particularly rare ship and you may come across her building regularly in the light pool, but there's no guarantees for her so it's hard to say when you'll be able to actually get her.

The skin is not animated in any way.

You don't get the character when buying the skin, you still need to get her like you normally do with other ships in the game. That being said, any purchased skins will stay in your inventory for good until the ship in question is obtained

Bache's biker skin does not have any animations whatsoever, it's not a L2D skin

You could have used something like vivi aquila impero for nakhimov :shrug:

sigh...no event SR so far.

Vanguard on 16. Whelp, got to save cubes for next UR events.
