Reminder that this harlot was responsible for the worst war crime of WW2

Do you know how PvP even works?

Even with the attacker buff you will still get crushed if you have an unoptimized fleet.

This is a no toot zone.

This meme needs to die. It could not be more incorrect.

Daily reminder: If you're losing an exercise battle, you can just close the Azur Lane app before your last ship dies, you will be able to try again and also keep your exercise point.
That's why if you're taking this literal meme mode seriously you should probably quit the game desu.

You can just pause and exit the match with zero repercussions too.
You can also exit regular nodes for barely any fuel too if you fuck up on the harder ones as well.

But user you could never win no matter how many times you close it!

I take it seriously for grinding PVP points

If this worked on boss battles it would be godly for bp farming desu.

No amount of retries will let you luckshit your way to a win if your fleet is poorly set up compared to something like a Royal fleet

There's a reason practically everyone in the top 1000 on older servers run Brit memes

You can reset fight at boss node, doesn't mean you clear it then reset.

>Mememodefag this assblasted
>Currently top 100 and i'm not even using the cuck fleet
You tried user.

They run brit memes because it's the current thing to do. Regardless any decent team with absolutely 0 synergy will still beat a bong fleet on defense.

I would actually like to see someone record a homebrew beating a 11k/12k britbong.

Post fleet, rank board and server?

I like this artist, it's like puyo puyo

>No Renown or Repulse
He's dead to me.

>tfw i didn't knew about this
Beta testers what the FUCK

...

The thing about the britbong fleet is it's way more consistent than shit like Eldridge; when I was using a fleet of Enterprise/Cranes/Indy/Portland/Leander I could just reload my way past Eldridge trolling and OWARI DA, it would have taken a supreme amount of luck to get past a proper britbong fleet. Likewise, now that I'm using a britbong fleet it takes terrible luck to lose to non-britbong, non-Hood/Akaga fleet, I can just reload a couple times and I'm through. Also Eldridge is so much easier to deal with using BBs; she's slow as fuck and makes it easier for your BBs to hit their front line (I have to laugh when I see Eldridge + CAs) and doesn't seem to proc her skill as consistently against them, whereas she'd seem to absorb my airstrikes 100% of the time.

You can hit rank 1 and definitely at least 100 with decent fleet with good equips simply due to opponents with weak defense fleets and unequipped defense fleets. I was able to hit rank 1 on Rabaul (though early on when it wasn't actually worth anything) using that CV and CA fleet above. Using britbong fleet makes it way less time consuming now though due to reduced reloads.

gao

She actually looks good in that.

Just... were her tits always that big?

Maybe? It's hard to tell.

nice legs the game

Nobody's saying it's impossible to place high just running whatever, I'm on Sasebo and I've placed in 40 while surrounded by Royal fleets and Akagas, but like you said if you want to consistently hit top rank for the rewards Brits are just the recommended, unless your ships are so blinged versus any of your opponents (you got lucky with matches) that it stops mattering

Yeah Eldridge is largely useless in offense because having a frontline surviving means nothing if your backline is destroyed by britbong BBs. Also since most people who try to put up an actual defensive party are now targeting other britbongs it may seem that you have a good chance with CVs but realistically you need to reload tons of times against a 12k/12k britbong team with proper AA.

>more side tits

When are the chinks gonna stop skirting around and give us boats boats with actual cleavage?

These are not the same boobs.

They couldn't be, unless she's wearing a serious bra in her normal gear.

Aoba's voice is perfect.

I think it's a matter of proportions. The chest:waist ratio seems to be the same between pictures but the chest:head ratio is different. The different angles aggravate the problem. Or maybe I'm just blind.

...

>disgusting shit on her tits

Why can't we just have more immaculate tits like lusty and belfat?

Soon.

>he doesn't want to rub his penis all over that birthmark
What a faggot.

Are you a homo user ?

...

>wanting to rub your dick on this

>more side tits

This damn gun took me two weeks, but I'm finally done.

Now I only need five more.

>Thinks all birth marks look like that.
Retard.

>3dpd
Come on now.

5 days to go

user, britbong fleets are ez to meme the fuck on.
The only ones that even put up resistance are fully whaled out ringed ones that also have proper gear on them.

So 11k/12k? Anything below that is pretty easy to do with minimal reload.
Also why not barracuda, you tend to get screwed by RNG with homing.

How did it become a meme that this fucking incomplete ship is in every fucking game that has WW2 ships? Is it so the Wehraboos dont feel left out or what?

It's the Maus of ships.

G*rmans don't have that big of a surface fleet in the first place. They need everything they can possibly grasp to make them seem more interesting.

But its name sounds cool.

Isn't that enough?

I ran barracuda's for a really long time.
But homing torp bombers completely fucking wreck juneau builds and can make eldridge RNG less frustrating.
Also a good amount of the time a few of the torp bomber spawns completely skip over the escort fleet and just fucking dunk on something in the back line before they even get a chance to do anything.

>Name sounds cool
Not really.

It does, zeppelins are cool.

It's really fucking German though.

Dunno about the Chinese, but the Japanese love that shit.

>Japanese love that shit
that isn't really saying much

The Kriegsmarine is pretty damn small discounting U-Boats.

The frogs had a more impressive navy, quite honestly.

Fucking chinks wish they're germans, genocide and all.

>not appealing to your target market is the smarter choice
user pls

Yeah, it's ez until you run into some uber neet fleet

(I run almost the exact same setup with Portland)

>leander
that frontline is free

Brilliant reading comprehension.

Saying the Japanese love that shit isn't saying much because the Japanese love fucking anything. They have the most outrageously shitty taste.

So where did the meme come from that every major power in WW2 needs significant representation in a naval game even if they didn't actually have a large navy?

This is how we end up with Graf, and WoW being full of made up Russian crap to pander to their domestic audience.

It's mainly the shot angle. Souryuu's normal is a low angle going up while the new years one is a middle to slightly high angle shot.

Because it's a game, not a fucking history textbook. It's fun to imagine boats in their full theoretical glory.

Because people want cute boat girls from the faces of WW2? Wow, that was hard to figure out.

>tfw Japs love the Enterprise
No, please, don't break the illusion for them. It's too hilarious.

>2 months in and still no Belfast
>just got my 12th? diego today, I've lost count
Stuck running Leander/Jabberin/Cygnet for my britbong fleet, though I should probably replace Leander with Fortune since I have no other CL for her to buff.

The weird thing lately is my Jabberin keeps going down relatively fast despite being in middle; she used to frequently be the last survivor with plenty of HP left, now it's always Cygnet instead

So how about we get an Essex class for once, or someone finally adds Shinano, rather than adding stuff that wasn't even finished?

>nips love everything
Then there's no reason not to include Graf is there? Unless you want to find some other shitty reasoning to justify your sperging.

>and WoW being full of made up Russian crap to pander to their domestic audience
This was my the first sign WoWS was going to shit, I regret ever spending a penny on it

No one's first thought is fucking Soviet Russia when it comes to a WW2 botes
Apart from fucking slavs, I guess

My JAVelin at the bottom slot survives longer than aniki with a +10 kit. Probably need to boost your skills.

Her defense skill is at 9, maybe I just need to try to put her in last slot instead since that's where Cygnet is outlasting everyone

R-rossiya stronk! Win war by self, invincible, would have had best ships if fascists did not invade, Yankee pigs got lucky, would have destroyed Japan ourselves if given chance Gibs all credit! Must distract from shitty slavlife.

The German's actually had a pretty terrifying navy, especially considering it just plainly didn't even fucking exist pre-WWII.
Unfortunately it was also mostly u-boat's that did all the work, and it's kind of hard to represent all of that. So it's easier to just represent the German naval might through the big-name, recognizable ships - even if they didn't accomplish anything(Tirpitz) or were incomplete.

>tfw no one can say no to santaprise

Why do the chinks do foreigners better than the nips do?

It seems like every foreign girl in nip media is always a blonde (or if they're russian they're white haired, germans seem to be 50/50) haired girl who is completely stereotypical and has big boobs.

So add a fucking Essex class or Unryuu class. Hell you can add Illustrious's sisters or the Implacables. No need for unfinished shit.
>Love Enterprise
No they love Belfast.
So going by that Logic it means Belfast is the biggest piece of shit though.

Japan is used to catering to Japan, China is used to copying everyone in the world, I guess?

It is funny though.

>terrifying
Lol no.

Submarines were their only trump card and once sonar became common, that didn't matter anymore. Their surface fleet was a meme, just the few ships they lost in Norway were a significant blow to their numbers, and their most successful ships were a couple heavy cruisers - their battleships were irrelevant ans their destroyers were basically not worth noting.

Yeah instead it's white hair and blue/purple eyes with huge boobs
Very different

China trades far more with the west and other countries so they see more foreigners.
>Ignoring all the girls that are brown, have black hair, and/or red hair.
For shame user.

>The German's actually had a pretty terrifying navy
Back during the Great War, maybe

Dude, when they announced the Santaprise skin they were worshipping it. One guy posted himself at a bookstore picking up a book about the actual ship.

And I guess I mean a different sort of worship. Nips worship Belfast because cowtits, and thats what your'e here for anyway so that's more important. People who care about WW2 at all will worship Enterprise.

>forgetting the E-boats

There are plenty of foreign characters from Japanese media with designs like that too, I'm just being as dumb as the person I was replying too

E-boats are not relevant to strategic fleet action.

And I'm sure if someone announces.
Well there are plenty of red head and brown foreigners in anime at least.

No one care about PT boats

Enterprise getting a shit ton of votes in Japan doesn't count for anything if she's not first place, I guess.

That is true though.

Russia had:
>the best tanks
>best veteran soldiers
>best aircraft
>best doctrine
>best unit tactics
>best generals

And all of that in both quality AND quantity. There's no way japs could've survived a Russian onslaught.

Is it worth it to retrofit Ajax?

Why wouldn't they add known unfinished ships in a fictional setting featuring WW2 with fucking aliens? To not trigger a handful of people who shouldn't be playing a game about ships anthropomorphized into super super cute girls and expecting accuracy?

Yes. She becomes a beast at clearing trash fleets.

And yet they were bending the brits over backwards to the point that they ran a suicide mission with a large number of special forces to hit a drydock to disable the Tirpitz.

Just because you can look in hindsight and make note that Hitler just fucking gave up on their navy and funneled resources into trying to produce some unmaterialized wunderwaffe doesn't mean that the German navy wasn't terrifying at its time.

I always liked the contrast in Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths.

Granted you only see the faces of the Americans a couple times, but each time they're blocky, overly agular and overly serious, while all the (main) Japanese characters have comically round, cartoony faces that smile a lot (which makes it really jarring when you see a smiling bubble head being flung through the air by a gory explosion).

Because I have yet to see an implacable in these boat girl games. Seriously.

>your desired daily life
too much chaos in one room

Whether the Soviets had the best tanks is debatable. They did not have the best aircraft nor tactics. They did have very good operational maneuver doctrine, better than the Nazis actually, and generals that knew how to execute it.

Quantity yes, quality no. By 1945 the Americans had the "best" stuff. The Soviets could never have defeated Japan themselves from the simple fact the Soviets did not have anything more than a meme navy, and as such could not hope to project beyond mainland Asia.

That's not a legitimate reason to whine about another ship getting included.

And little nudity.

Thanks. Glad I got a crapload of gold and purple CA BPs

>muh hitler

There's no way the kriegsmarine could build or maintain a surface fleet capable of taking on the British home fleet. At best their only use is to be a fleet in being to keep the enemy boats busy.
