Board Thread:Fleet's Prepared-ness/@comment-26336728-20150720013158/@comment-26289480-20150720061929

I dont really want to type another super long essay.

My idea is focused on giving OP a chance and tell him what he needs. If he has to train 8 CA+4CAV, he simply cant do that with the limtied time (and hence resources) left. Hence I would rather perfer not to give him a goal he can't reach.

I tailor my advices for everyone who asked.

I never argue against the more prepared you are the better, this is of course true. So why not have 40 married ship. Can you promise you can beat the event with that? in the end no one can promise they WILL beat the event 100%. (even with 300K resources cap). RNG can just chose to screw you up. In the end al we are doing is increasing the chance we can do it.

However there is when efficency and time come into play. What advice i want to give to people is make a fair assessment in the limited amount of time left, where can they be, and hence what kind of diffculities they can tackle.

Like i said for OP, I think he can do most maps in hard, last few on normal.

I agree if you said your answer is to the question "what i need for a possible hard event all clear." not really what i can do with my fleet. So I do apologize for eariler comments on that. But i still stand a few points.

If you want to be super-prepared. Then train all BB and CV is must .. even Isse class should be aroudn lvl 50 as backup.

DD's problem, 10 should be enough i still feel. And my point on anti-air cut in is this, AA CI has a very limited power.

This is Jap wiki. Apart from Maya / Akizuki. General DD's AA CI can only shot down 4 plane per slot (plus extra, which we have no idea how this math works). Eenmy generally have tens if not close to hundreds planes per slot. 4 really doesnt make a huge difference. So although it is good to have AA CI (why not, doesnt hurt). It is not necessarily useful to train DD just bec i need another 75 AA ship rather than that 65 AA ones.. I hope this make sense.

I know in general western players has good feeling towards AA CI, but from Chinese and Japanese Forum is mostly regarded to be just some icing on the cake. Not fudemental at all. Of course since you can bring it for no penalty (if you have 10 CM HA+FD) then why not? But it is no where close to cruical or necessary.

I never said DONT USE AA CI, I am just saying there is no difference (greatly) in different DD using AACI. (Unless you are comparing Akizuki to otherse). So there is no point stressing you need these DDs just for AA CI.

Regarding the buckets problem, that is heavily RNG dependent. There is a reason why nearly post here and on chinese froum are saying 500 should be plenty to clear event. Because you are more than likely to be out of resources before 500 buckets run out. (Thats assume you play patiently and smartly, like send your long repair and use Akashi when you sleep or AFK)

Last point, yep 100% running 2 when you are in front of PC, no need to sparkle. But for all other expedition you really need to sparkle (like 5, 21, 37 , 38, and longer ones when you go to bed like 13, 40) Because time is running out and you need as much resources as you can get your hand on.
