  • Amagi Supports

    06. 07. 2013 05:31

All:
Well, I finally got to lvl 120 with my BO and gunners. But, I dont have enough supports for the Amagi. So, 2 questions.

1 - would anyone want to trade any ijn / usn people with me for higher level ijn supports?

2 - what has to go in the on-board slots? Torpers have to be 115? or 120? DP gunners have to be 115 or 120?

3 - What can go in the support slots? Do i need a 115 lvl rookie pilot? Can other pilots go in those slots?

TIA.

Sam.

All armament class types must be 120, everything else can be 115.

 

You generally just want repairs, engis and scouts in the support slots.

1 or 2 scouts, 2 is good for 1v1s but 1 works fine for general use. (Class your rookie up to recon by the way, doesnt make any difference, just means it cant/wont get classed as a useless fighter/bomber)

Of the remaining slots, you dont want less than 3 of either rep or engi.

 

My own IJN crew is BO, 2 main gunners, 2 AA gunners, 4 reps, 4 engis and 1 scout.

 

1.- I don't, sorry.

 

2.- Torpers must be 120, don't use torpedoes on a BB6. A pair of 120 main gunners must be used on the BB6, if supports are put on the T slots they must be atleast 115, if AA gunners are used they must be 120.

 

3.- Anything can go in support slots as long as it is atleast 115, or 120 in the case of armament classes. Do not use pilots other than scouts just to be able to use the Amagi. If you have an inefficient or inappropriate crew you'll only do badly/let your team down/get mocked for being bad.

Ah the amagi one of my favorite ships, best thing to use on the supports if you have them is 3-4 reps and 4-5 engineers and a rookie pilot so you can use a scout.   All supports minus main gunners and a BO need to be 115+ in order to operate a BB6 and you need a total of 14 sailors of the correct nation *japan in this case* before it will leave harbor onboard.

 

Also while torps on an amagi is hillarious to look at don't bother with them, it does not have reloads like a kita so it's not an armed oversized kita.  Just use AA guns on the T slots the dual 4.7" type 10 A's or the 6.1" triples for AA.  Both work great but the trips have very little ammo while the 4.7's have about 1000 rounds per turret.   So only use the triples if you have a firm grasp of IJN AA angles.

 

My set-up is like so: *got some new crew so i have not used my amagi in ages*

1 120 BO

2 120 gunners

2 120 DP gunners *only need to be 115+ to operate on a BB6*

1 repair 120, 2 reps 113

1 engineer 120, 4 engineers 113

1 120 scout

So - we have some debate. first guy says the DP gunners and aa gunners need to be 120. second guy says 115. what is it?

I'm pretty sure all types of gunner must be 120 to operate on a BB6 but I'm not 100% if Greifer says otherwise. It may just require atleast 1 pair of 120s in R slots. I've not had a BB6 that didn't have 120 AA gunners before I got it.

 

EDIT: After a quick test, greifer is correct, DP gunners only need to be 115.

While your at it if you have not done so do not class your DP gunners until they reach about level 96-100.  Then class them to DP gunners, make sure they are japanese armament sailors before then unless you already have.  This way you get the most abilit out of your DP gunners in the reload department.

Hope the advice helped!

Grief, i think you mistyped: Support has to be minimum 115, 113s won't let you take the ship out!

I didn't mis-type thats the level of my current IJN crew, i had said i got some new support sailors and those are their levels.  it is why i said i have not used my amagi in ages.  sorry if it did not seem clear like that but showing the sailors was to give an example of a full crew needed for an amagi.
