good luck

I am Still working on mine, It's gona take awhile

I have 5 engys and only 2 reps...

IJN has no good of both, so... use engys for better speed...

My current Amagi crew is 4/4. But if you're going to have good reps with a good amount of
vets at high level I'd recommend going 5/3. Probably the best setup balancing Overheat and
Rep rate.

Have fun :)

You speed capped with 3 engineers. Good for you. However OH does stack linearly so in this
case more is better.

No speed cap is going to help you when you run out of OH while you're running away from a
certain doom.

5/3 is definitely the way to go but raise another repair so you can switch up on your
setup if needed.

Do not run Yamato, SY, or Amagi AA-less unless you have a very very good reason for it.
You'll be gimping yourself. If anyone doesn't like AAing, please just go play US, UK or
France when it comes out.

with 3 engies, I find myself always needing more OH time...

and I've been playing the yamato without AA in FL matches for a while now, I like
the extra repair rate...(not something I'm suggesting to players new to yamato)

My SY support setup : 3 rep/3engys/1 scout/1 seaman

My Amagi support setup : 3rep/4 engys/1scout/1 seaman

Don't forget that 3rd/4th/5th engys only work at 33/25/20 % of their abilities (not
sur of the figures but that s the spirit) and so overstacking engine doesn t worth the
grind. Play with a seaman, at least u ll be able to use it on a CV.

And please never follow the advice to sacrifice AA for support on Yammy or SY.

Cheers

PS : and yes i am at speed cap even with 3 engys on SY

You definitely need some torpers for your T slots, IJN is overrated anyway.

for the final BB crew for IJN(amagi)
You need 14 sailors
1 x BO
2 x Gunners
11 x Supports (Be it Engy, Rep, Res, Scout, DP)
Taking into considerations of DP gunners for IJN BBs, and 1 Scout,
You are left with 8 more sailors to go.
I would recommend 5 Engys, 3 Reps.
Some may argue getting 4 Engys, 4 Reps.
Is actually up to you.
But if u have the spare time, lvl up 5 engys and 4 reps and u can play around with
the mixture:)
