  • Mogami 1944

Sauliusp

Hello all,

I need some help.
I like to use Mogami 1944 for Blitz and other battles, like universal platform - Carrier/Cruiser.
It is good for its roles?
I like to put on it crew like this :
Support
1- 2nd Seaman
2 - Bomber Pilot
3 - Engineer
4 - Engineer
5 - Engineer
Ship
1 - Captain
2 - Gunner
3 - Repairer
4 - Restorer

It is good set of crew?
My strategy will be :
1-st half of battle wait in back and bomb the enemy with bombers;
2-nd half of battle go and finish others with guns.   
Im new here and dont have any expierence.

i'd say stick with your grind. if you're planning to only make a BB crew, don't get the CV hybrid, you'll only drag your supports behind. (once you class a rookie pilot to DB pilot you can not use any scouts with it anymore, making the pilot useless to a BB crew)

If you're going to lvl up a CV, go for full CV crew on there, so drop the engy's, reps, rests & run only pilots (& gunner). the mogami cv Hybrid is basicly a CV1 with CA guns, so you should play cv as long as possible.
the gunner on the front gun is still a good thing, those 3 guns can rip any rushing DD/CL apart if you put it to work. but use the T slots to lvl up additional pilots, since you will need 8 pilots on the larger cv's it's best to lvl those up asap.

and dont lvl up the restorer you have planned there at all, you will regret lvling up a restorer on the long run.

I personally dont like the use of a seaman on the mogami, because it takes up a very valuable crewslot, and you dont really have the planespace to "outperform" another CV in a dogfight because you run out of fighters after 2 waves. (next to that, a low lvl seaman adds almost nothing to your pilots, i'd say he starts adding by the time he gets in the 80's with some bve etc)

I can change the restorer to repairer.
Why i need more Bomber pilots? I have one and i can launch all the Bombers what i have in launch bay and they perform as good as my Bomber pilot is.
What im getting from 2+ Pilots?
Im thinking about Fighter pilot to counterattack enemy bomber and other crafts.

I dont know how in this game work carriers, just from other games i have some image.

ok, basic cv gameplay;

if you have a launching capacity of 5 airplanes, you can load those on 1 pilots,
loading 5 x 10 = 50 seconds
or you could load them on 2 pilots (loading 2 on 1 pilot & 3 on the other)
this way you can lift of within 3 x 10 = 30 seconds.

since you only have a low tier cv the total launch capacity is low with 5 planes,
when you have 9,10 or 11 launch capacity the difference between launching on 3 pilots or on 1 will be;
on 1 pilot;
9 planes x 10 sec.onds = 90 seconds to wait for loading
on 3 pilots, loading simultanious;
3 x 30 = 30 seconds.

so the clue of using more pilots is to reduce your loading time.


besides that, when your 1 pilot is in the air, with a second pilot you can load while controlling your other pilot in the air. so you dont have to wait for the loading time at all.

and then there's fighters, when using fighters its a big plus to have several pilots loaded, since you can then split up your airplane groups in the air, covering more area's at once.

i'd suggest training 6 fighters and 2 bombers, or 4FP/4 db.
because you can only use 8 pilots maximum on any cv, and you want every single one used on the big stuff.

What is loading?

You mean reload time after fighters retur back, or you mean interval between plains launched to air from carrier?

I can launch 5 plains from Mogami, this mean i can control 5 planes in air total with this ship, right?

I can control 5 bombers or 5 fighters? Or i can have two diferent Pilots like Fighter and Bomber and control 3 Bombers and 2 Fighters in one time, but this will be diferent groups?

With big carrier i can do big group of 8-10 bombers in one time?

I'll put it in a simple way (the other details everyone else can explain).

When you have 1 bomber pilot, it takes a long time to prepare the 5 planes.  But if you have 5 pilots, then each pilot can prepare 1 plane which is much faster.  Each plane can also be sent to different locations which is especially helpful for fighters.

actually the loading characteristic only limits how many planes you can have prepping on your carriers deck at any given time. You can for instance choose to launch 5 bombers on 1 pilot and then launch 5 fighters from another pilot after that. Theoretically, you can have all your avaliable planes in the air at the same time, but they have to be launched in groups of maximum 5 at a time on the Mogami.

Thank you for information.

But why i need two bomber pilots still do not understood properly.

Two bomber pilots let me use two groups of 5 bombers at one time, or i can launch 5 bombers from the ship twice faster?

This.
The more pilots you have, the faster you will launch (considering the limitations others have already explained).

Both actually. With 2 pilots you have the option of loading the planes onto 2 pilots and cutting load time by 40% (uneven numbers), OR loading all the planes on one pilot and then immediately loading a second wave after the first takes off (instead of having to wait for the first wave to return).

On larger CVs, the former is usually more important. However, depending on where and how you're fighting, the latter can be more useful to a hybrid by allowing you to rotate and launch more bombers over time. This, however, is only really notable on hybrids and the low level CVs.

Thank you for quick answers.

Now i have other questions about Gunships lvl 40-60, which are fun to play and inought powerful to fight against 61+lvl oponents and why?
This is my list of interesting ships :
Guam
Renown
Revenge
Kongo
Kourbet
