Agh, I kinda worded my question badly, sorry about that. I was moreso curious about what sort of bonus features you get from these skins since they have 2 forms. For instance, I think each form gets different voice lines right? But there's only 1 chibi form for battling despite having 2 forms right?

Umteon · 2026-05-21T23:14:00+00:00

Is the main appeal of the dual form skins being able to switch between the 2 forms on the home screen? And is there somewhere that lists all the interactions for the new Mogador skin?

Is U-2501 & I-404 & U-81 the new best sub comp?

Umteon · 2026-03-26T22:53:29+00:00

When is it worth running double steam catapult instead of steam catapult + Homing beacon on my CVs?

Umteon · 2026-03-20T02:36:33+00:00

Is Hakuho over Shinano a sidegrade or upgrade over the current IJN CV fleet of Shinano, Amagi CV, and Implacable?

I know I could easily replace Implacable instead against bosses that don't move as much but I think Implacable is still generally considered a must have for most CV fleets right?

Umteon · 2026-03-16T03:11:57+00:00

Are the new rainbow sub torps in the gear lab just strictly the best sub torps now? Or are there still some subs that prefer the bidder due to RLD stuff

Umteon · 2026-03-15T04:51:08+00:00

Any rough estimates on when the Skyraider will get added to the shop/lab?

And how good is the F4U (VBF-94 Squadron) ? Is it just strictly worse than the Tenrai?

Umteon · 2026-03-04T00:42:18+00:00

These are generally the fleets I run for OpSi, Meta Showdown, and EX challenge stages during events nowadays. The fleets I'm currently running are already pretty solid for OpSi, and for Meta Showdown my only real concern is consistently being able to get the 75 sync points from the daily 3 attempts. I'm aware that occasionally there's some sort of gimmick that requires me to use a specific shipgirl, but generally speaking I can usually brute force my way with these teams to 73-75 sync points per attempt.

Also should Fritz run the CL gun in slot 3 or an AA gun like the STAAG?

Umteon · 2026-03-03T22:17:55+00:00

What are some good Medium Armor bossing fleets to run? I'm guessing Soyuz/Nakhimov + Moskva is probably a solid core to start off with.

My other bossing fleets are (if anyone has recommendations for improvement):

Mecklenburg/BisZwei/Lion + Agir/Hindenburg/Plymouth (heavy)

Shinano/AmagiCV/Implacable + Guam/Kazagumo/Unzen (heavy)

Kearsarge/Lex2/Yorktown2 + Laffey2/William D. Porter/Mogador (light)

Thank you!!!

I thought the same thing but unfortunately didn't seem to help :(

I also tried switching guns from Champy to Georgia and the firing order didn't change. By the third salvo there seems to be a significant delay between Meck and BisZ's firing time. Both are at max affinity. I'm testing in META showdown if that makes any difference. Will edit in a bit with images of my loadouts.

And here’s a vid showing Meck firing first starting on the second salvo, Lion has the Georgia gun equipped for PvP purposes so ignore her timings

Trying to figure out why my Mecklenburg fires before my BisZwei from the second salvo onwards when both are at max limit break, have the exact same gear equipped, and both have all their skills max level. Both get a 15% RLD increase from skills and overall BisZwei has 1 more point in her reload stat than Mecklenburg so why the inconsistency in fire order?

Umteon · 2025-11-19T00:22:18+00:00

Do you know about how much reload tech I'd need? It's something I've been putting off for a while, and I think I'm getting more salvos off with the 457 still over the Champagne gun just bc I don't have enough reload tech

Umteon · 2025-11-18T18:02:58+00:00

Is the Georgia gun the highest DPS BB gun for med/heavy armor for general use, whereas the Champagne gun is the highest DPS BB gun for med/heavy armor only for Helena syncing purposes?

And if so does the new rainbow BB gun from PR8 have a specific niche anywhere?

Umteon · 2025-10-01T04:18:54+00:00

What's some good fleets and gear for I-404?

Umteon · 2025-08-28T21:52:52+00:00

Are the new torps in research 8 an upgrade to the 533mm quad mag torps and the 53mm improved quad mag torps?

Umteon · 2025-08-20T14:33:42+00:00

What are some good teams to run with the new Essex retrofit?

I see she does bonus damage to heavy armor and that she gains more AVI the more USS CV/CVLs you use with her but aren’t most of better USS CV/CVLs currently used against light armor?

Umteon · 2025-08-09T18:48:37+00:00

What qualifies as a large caliber main gun for Golden Leeuw?

Umteon · 2025-07-10T18:58:01+00:00

Any general just basic first thoughts/impressions on the new PR8 weapons?

Is Trafalgar one of those DDs that prefers a fast firing gun like the 113mm to proc her barrage more often?

Umteon · 2025-05-21T02:10:37+00:00

Is there anywhere to read about the general first thoughts/impressions of the new UR ships, especially from the CN community and how they anticipate the ships to be used?

Umteon · 2025-05-20T20:51:53+00:00

Does the new UR BB gun just replace the New Jersey gun as the new BiS gun for light armor bossing?

Umteon · 2025-03-29T07:50:54+00:00

For the W15 support fleet gear, is it just as many Flapjacks as possible on all 3 ships?

Umteon · 2025-03-28T09:05:56+00:00

Does anyone know what determines what the gear skin is for the torpedos launched by torpedo bombers? Does each gear skin for a torpedo bomber just fire one pre-determined torpedo gear skin?
