Board Thread:Fleet's Prepared-ness/@comment-32647310-20190804035926

I have been at this game for a little over 2 years now. I have managed, somehow, to get myself 'caught up' in that the only ships that are lacking their upgrades are Kongou, Umikaze, Suzuya and Kumano.

- Kongou is a really low priority for me right now (mostly because I don't have 300 Devmats)

- I have no real desire to change Suzuya and/or Kumano to CVLs, nor do I particularly feel like raising dupes so I can a set of each.

- Umikaze will get where she needs to be soon...

This being said, this is not really about which girl(s) to focus on and level up. I have enough of every kind of ship-class at high enough levels to do the jobs that need to be done.

The quesiton, instead, is a matter of gear and equipment and where my focus should lie. I know there are some thigns that I can still work on (see some of my thoughts), but the question is is there any sort of priority here above and beyond "whatever feels right"? Is there something that I can work on in preparation for the next event?

This being said, this is where I feel that I stand with all of my gear:

BB Guns

- 6x +10 Proto 35.6cm Triple - I don't see much of a need to have more of these guns or those of a similar 'class'.

- 41cm Twin - I don't see a need to put more work/effort into these. Other guns of a similar type are objectivly superior. There is the possibility of upgrading some of these to Proto 41cm Triple for upgrading purposes, but that is expensive and so long-term that I don't think it's worth mentioning.

- 46cm Triple - Should I bother with these? If so, how many? I know that they are useful for Support Expeditions, but beyond that the only girls that can carry these without penalty are Yamato and Musashi.

- Specialty Guns (Richelieu, Pasta, 16inch of all kinds) - These all have merit, but are largely limited to their specific girls, so these are seen as lower for focus

Cruiser Guns

The 20.3cm (No.3) is, objectivly, the best gun for cruisers right now. I have 10 of these, and they will be upgraded as necessary. Other guns are kept on-hand either due to rarity or as modfood.

Destroyer Guns

I'm a bit at a loss here. While I can upgrade my 12.7cm Model D K2s to +6, I don't see these as a priority. I could, in theory, upgrade the 12.7cm Model C K2s beyond +6, but those will use unbuildable 12.7cm Model B K2s...

While I know that I can work on my ducky-guns, the fact of the matter is that I have gone so long without them, I don't really know what to do *with* them. While I understand that these are the best guns you can usually put on a Destroyer, a fair number of girls get bonuses for equipping certain guns that, when dealing with raw firepower, are better...

Secondary (Yellow) Guns

Only guns I see worth upgrading are the OTOs. There just isn't enough of a call for these kinds of guns as a general thing.

Torpedoes

I don't subscribe to TCI as a general thing, but I am aware that it will be something will, likely, be relied on in the future. This said, I'm not sure which torpedoes to focus on and how many I really need...

Aircraft

I think I have this pretty much squared away. After Summer 2017, I have not run into a problem of not having enough Seaplane Fighters. My only limitation is lack of Screws, Devmats and Modfood.

Radar

Eh? I don't know. Seriously. I have no idea if I should invest in upgrades here

ASW

There are pieces of gear that I can upgrade (Sonar, T3 Projectors), but should these be a priority?

Misc Gear

Anti-Installation, AA guns, turbines and anything else not mentioned that can be upgraded... should there be a focus here?
