Not sure what you mean by a ‘clearly superior strategy’ here. From my personal experience TCI is unreliable. I don’t always end up fighting at night, and when I do, it doesn’t always trigger. My view is that strategy/build that is unreliable (regardless of the damage output) is an inferior strategy/build.

DA *always* works during the day (in that you always have the firepower (such as it is) of those guns working for you), and *if* you find yourself going to night, the DA almost always triggers, making it far more reliable and therefore, the superior strategy.

It is on this point that you and I will have to agree to disagree.



While I certainly agree that “Good Enough” will only go so far, and yes, at some point one is going to have to optimize their fleet…but that is not the context (or intent) of the conversation. There are also some things you do not realize about the overall situation;

1 – I have been working with and coaching OP on other threads before this one; OP in fact made this thread at my suggestion and urging.

2 – OP *just* got Akashi, and does not have a massive stockpile of screws. Given that the event kicks off in 4 weeks, so fact of the matter is that there is *no* time for optimization. “Good Enough” has to suffice for right now.

Further, the conversation and my advice are both framed in the context what OP can do *now* to prepare for the event. Yes, there is some advice there for later on down the road (especially the stuff about aircraft), but by and large, it is all about things they can do right now and in the coming weeks.

I will also echo and stand beside everything that Artutia has stated;

- OP is new to the game and has a work-schedule that prevents them from devoting a lot of time.

- Torps are fine, but not worth upgrading right now, and the ones that are worth upgrading OP doesn’t have yet (you may have missed that implication in my assessment about Torps)

- Euro Princess was not all that hard on me, but Easy Mode let me bring my most powerful ships so I just steamrolled over her.

- Your advice has merit, but isn’t helpful to a new player.
