Roomba I think is better due to the fact that AA equation said that plane reacive distribute damage. So higher damage times AA stats plus the coefficientcy makes her deal enormous dmg. And u can use RPM AA on other EU ships to have RoF since AA is combined effort of a team.
Ander dude your new mic is AMAZING. Genuinely glad you got it!! My ears couldn’t take anymore of the boosted one you were previously using. What mic did you get btw?
@@hellopsp180 Haha, from that string of comments you've posted on my videos, it looks like you've seen my entire gradual transition to better mic quality. ;) Most of it was done with just messing around with the audio settings in OBS, but the new mic definitely helped out.

OMG just started playing a week ago and have been watching lots of your videos to understand the game better, started watching this one and thought i would like to have San Diego so i did 1 pull and got her lmao, from now on i will only pull when you upload a new video.
Just smth to note regarding the russian twin 130 vs. the french single 138. In terms of raw DPS the twin 130 absolutely blows the 138 out of the water. That usually doesn't have to mean that the twin 130 is better, due to ammo modifiers. The purple twin 120 for example also beats the gold single 138 in raw DPS, but due to being normal ammo, the 138 has higher DPS once you take ammo modifiers into the equation against all armor types. The twin 130 is a different story from the twin 120 for two reasons: 1. The raw DPS is insane. About 33% higher than the single 138. 2. It doesn't use regular "Normal" ammo, it uses "Normal*" ammo. Which is 5% better against medium and heavy targets than regular "Normal". Between these two factors (though N.1 is by far and away the more important one), the twin 130, despite having worse damage modifers than the HE on the 138, ends up beating it in DPS by a sizable amount against both light and medium armor targets. Against heavy armor, the still absolutely terrible modifier on the "Normal*" ammo (25%) means that the single 138 ends up beating it by a massive margin. So to conclude, against light and medium enemies, the twin 130 is better. Against heavy enemies, the single 138 is better. Heavy enemies become more common in later stages and in event maps, so for those scenarios the 138 may be preferable, but for maximized clear times on lower level grind maps, the twin 130 is better.
Single 130mm (Dido event I think) is good on her aswell. More of a barrage gun, but it does stuff done. Other than that: Baquette gun... Can't wait for 2nd chance, to waste my life farming those xD The name of the level is D1 this time arround, commanders o.o
I believe that the twin 127mm is the best since it gives AA which is what makes San Diego kami-sama as well as the most needed stat in chapter 12 and 13
May I ask 2 questions...I saw at Warspite that you have equiped the Triple 406mm MK6 Main Gun (if I am not mistaken), currently I have on her the 410mm Mounted Gun, is it better with 406 than the 410? and why is that?. And second I curently have only one gold 138.6mm equiped on my Nimi retrofit and two purple ones shall I equip the gold one to Sandy, she is equiped with a gold Twin 127mm MK12 Dual Gun. Thanks for the great videos and content keep up the nice work.
Well Warkai is better with 406mm coz it has the highest DPS bb gun, tho it has a lower fire rate than 410. 410 is used on ships that has brg proc chance when they fire their main guns like hood or monarch coz it has a faster fire rate. Second, personally I'd want Sandy to hav the gun since her retro is literally here and give 127 to Nimi. Tho it depends on you, you can just grind a new one for either of them in oratorio event.
off topic but i personally would prefer enty over essex for solo uss cv, coz essex gains value from having another uss cv in the fleet, but enty works fine either way
"Watashi wa numba one stars" ahahahaha... I CAN HEAR THE SONG PLAYING ___ . Too bad I only have 1 gold Baguette gun though... I threw it on Laffey Retro On the other hand I literally have only the golden Belfast guns readily available... I've got 3 of them.
This time limited retrofit access is kinda offputting. Just saw that we can exchange for her now and after looking her up, I saw that the event for her modernization item ended not long ago. Same with Warspite, which was my first SR. Actually, limited access to colab ships also makes me sad. I really would've loved to gamble for neptunia or hololive stuff.
Ur title must be Prasing the #1 Ship and her gear guide. I'm using nox with 60fps both game and in the emulator, so far on boss fights with all carrier planes go out it downs to 30 for 2secs and go back with 60
Hey! I love your vids, helped me a lot on equipments, can I request a video about opening tech boxes and what equipments are okay to disassemble and what are absolutely needed to keep? I just found myself having a full storage with bunch of stuffs that I sometimes think maybe this gun is good or anything so I ended up keeping everything. Would help to know which are okay to throw away so I can open more tech boxes!! Thanks as always!
12:31 Me trying to put all the attention in the world on Sandy but the meme chibi face Essex has prevents me to do so... Mission fail. Also, something else that needed to be added is that although the Twin 127mm has less FF vs the baguette gun, it has an extra 25 AA for Sandy. Taking that into account, I considered that it makes it a second place, well ahead of other "second place options" that you mention Ander. Overall great video.
Yeah, his list was basically what you want if your going to use sandy’s main gun slot for damage output, in which his assessment is correct. However if you just want to meme her AA stat into the thousands the 127mm twin gold goes a long way towards that.
i dont have this AA gun so a golden rumba will do for me ^_^ im just waiting to finish off the last day so i can get her retrofited finally ^_^ Sandy will become truly Numba wan !!!
I maximum meme my Sandy. 2 High Performance Radars. Having over 1k base AA as soon as the battle starts is funny. Proc #1 and watch the planes drop like flies.
I never realized how powerful sandy was; using a 4-1 team on 14-4 mobs surprised me. Quick question if anyone knows: I'm still fooling around on world 9 to get nicholas, jenkins, and niizuki to complete my ships. should I really focus instead to get to world 10 for jinstuu?
Jintsuu is very good, but not needed for any content. If you think that your vanguard is fine the way it is right now, then you can keep on doing whatever you want. If you think you could use another strong vanguard, farm for Jintsuu.
the Atlanta class light cruisers were made for high anti air capabilities due to the smaller caliber cannons meaning all but on on a AA broadside only one gun would not. be able to fire due to being on the one port or starboard side basically making a wall of flak and mg fire meaning japan plane very sad
Hi Ander can you make a guide on dock management? Because I got a lot of ship but not sure which to retire some of them I want to kept but not sure whether they going to be useful or not...
Hi Jordan, perhaps I may be able to answer, but do not take my opinion as the correct one since I didn't actually finish W13. I am an experienced player, but I am really lazy when it comes to finishing the campaign. So basically, W13 has tough planes and command ships that, IIRC, launch more planes, so preferably Sandy would be in a mob fleet since you need to ensure that your mob fleet's backline does not get killed by the "kamikaze" damage inflicted by enemy planes. As for the boss fleet, you can do the retardad option which would be full torp IJN + Ironblood subs with buffs against CVs or any of the several workable combinations possible. There are several tutoriais on YT regarding fleet composition.
What was thing that in Setting > Notification > Out of Ammo I know what it mean, but don't know how that notification gonna work How it going to notify my ammo is out, if auto only available for battle, not for full map
If you're still wondering, the notification is for your dorm. It's to let you know that you're out of ammo/supplies/food, so the ships you have in your dorm are no longer receiving exp from training.
Umm... i dont really like doing this, but can i put some critic here? -main gun: mostly fine, but twin130mm is better than single 138.6 in most situation, which is against light and medium. There is not that much heavy armored enemy in this game after all (nagato, mutsu, taihou, command ship... and i think thats all). Normal ammo is not that much disadvantage to HE when the modifier is mostly the same against like and medium after all (HE has 120/60/60 while normal* has 100/55/25) and twin 130 have quite a lot of more base dps to single 138.6. The only time i would use single 138.6 over twin 130 on sandy is when im using her against taihou, or when im using tashkent somewhere else. -torpedo:agree, anything is fine, her torp dmg is pathetic -AA gun: now to controversial topic. using ijn bofors, let alone trashcan on sandy is heresy. here is a simple "how AA in AL work" Anti Air in Azur Lane and its stupid implementation Unlike main gun where each ship shoot their own main gun at separate instance, all, and i mean ALL AA gun in the fleet shoot at the same time, from the same point, with same range. This is called a "wave", and yes this include the main fleet too, main fleet aa gun shoot from vanguard, as stupid as that sound. So how does the game decide its reload and range? they average it. when you see 0,56s on ijn bofors, that doesnt mean sandy will shoot aa gun every 0,56s, it just mean sandy will contribute 0,56s on whole fleet aa reload average. Which also mean sandy will only do 87*(sandy stat modifier) dmg every wave instead of 130*(sandy stat modifier) every wave, which is a lot of aa dmg loss. They also average the range from all aa gun in the fleet, and this include aa gun base too. The only thing that is not averaged is dmg, which is totaled instead. Oh and there is also 0,5s of absolute cooldown between wave. here is an example of an aa calculation: 1:2 fleet of akashi/sandykai/ayanami akashi(3 hpaar, 2 quad bofors, +390 aa stat): 4 aa gun base, each 100% eff. aa stat total=160+390=550, rld=181 aa dmg/wave=4*(100%)*(1+550/100)*(120)=3120, aa gun reload=sqrt(200/(100+181))*1.04=0,88s sandykai(no hpaar, roomba, +45 aa stat): 1 aa gun base, 185% eff. aa stat total=1,25*(559+45)=755, rld=210 aa dmg/wave=(185%)*(1+755/100)*(130)=2056, aa gun reload=sqrt(200/(100+210))*1.36=1,09s ayanami(no hpaar, ijn bofors, +45 stat): 1 aa gun base, 75% eff. aa stat total=146+45=191, rld=228 aa dmg/wave=(75%)*(1+191/100)*(87)=190, aa gun reload=sqrt(200/(100+228))*0,71=0,55s so total aa dmg/wave=3120+2056+190=5366 aa dmg, with each wave come every=(4*0,88+1,09+0,55)/6 + 0,5=1,36s total fleet aa dps then can be written as 5366/1,36=3945,6 aa dps now what will happen if we use ijn bofors on sandy instead sandykai(no hpaar, ijn bofors, +45 aa stat): 1 aa gun base, 185% eff. aa stat total=1,25*(559+45)=755, rld=210 aa dmg/wave=(185%)*(1+755/100)*(87)=1376, aa gun reload=sqrt(200/(100+210))*0,71=0,57s total aa dmg/wave=3120+1376+190=4686, with each wave come every=(4*0,88+0,57+0,55)/6 + 0,5=1,27s total aa dps then can be written as 4686/1,27= 3689 aa dps. first setup have range of (4*28+35+29)/6=29,3 while second setup have range of (4*28+29+29)/6=28,3 as you can see, using ijn bofors on sandy actually LOWER both fleet aa dps and range. its because aa dmg sandy sacrifice doesn't outweight ijn bofors fast reload contribution on wave reload calculation. Meanwhile the opposite would be true on ayanami, using roomba on her will lower the aa dps, because the aa dmg increase wont outweight roomba slow reload contribution, though in her case the range will increase. So how am i supposed to set up my AA? best aa set up is different for different fleet, but since doing calculation is sometimes too complicated, there is a simple template that can be used to always get "good" aa dps: aa carry (sandy, isuzu, etc): roomba if auto (good dmg and range, slow reload), pom pom if manual (good dmg and reload, low range) bad aa (most ijn dd, cvl, etc): ijn bofors, trash can (low dmg and decent range, but high reload) everyone else: quad bofors (balanced) You can use twin 100mm as roomba filler, and twin 105mm as quad bofors filler. And ofcourse, bb get staag for hit stat. using ijn bofors on sandy instead of roomba/pompom however, will most of the time lower the fleet aa dps. aux: mostly fine. i would say toolbox+rudder would be her default, and use hpaar only if she survive fine. and thats all, im sorry that this have become quite a long read. oh also, ijn bofors is twin 40mm type 98, or you can called it stop sign.
15:47 There are some things to keep in mind about AL performance in general: 1. It's poorly optimized, it even sometimes lags on my phone which is relatively new (OnePlus 6T) 2. On PC the best performance emulator by far is MEmu in DirectX mode, because that one uses Microsofts Hyper-V technology and does some compromising on picture quality in exchange for performance I know you're sponsored by BlueStacks, but I've tested every emulator out there by now and the only ones worth using are MEmu and Nox (I think Nox uses Hyper-V too, but it's slower on my system and DirectX mode is buggy there). Even Google's own Android Studio emulator is straight garbage because it uses like 50 % CPU and GPU while putting out maybe 5 fps.

Be sure to get her mic from this event. She is the best ship.
Just smth to note regarding the russian twin 130 vs. the french single 138.
In terms of raw DPS the twin 130 absolutely blows the 138 out of the water. That usually doesn't have to mean that the twin 130 is better, due to ammo modifiers. The purple twin 120 for example also beats the gold single 138 in raw DPS, but due to being normal ammo, the 138 has higher DPS once you take ammo modifiers into the equation against all armor types.
The twin 130 is a different story from the twin 120 for two reasons:
1. The raw DPS is insane. About 33% higher than the single 138.
2. It doesn't use regular "Normal" ammo, it uses "Normal*" ammo. Which is 5% better against medium and heavy targets than regular "Normal".
Between these two factors (though N.1 is by far and away the more important one), the twin 130, despite having worse damage modifers than the HE on the 138, ends up beating it in DPS by a sizable amount against both light and medium armor targets. Against heavy armor, the still absolutely terrible modifier on the "Normal*" ammo (25%) means that the single 138 ends up beating it by a massive margin.
So to conclude, against light and medium enemies, the twin 130 is better. Against heavy enemies, the single 138 is better. Heavy enemies become more common in later stages and in event maps, so for those scenarios the 138 may be preferable, but for maximized clear times on lower level grind maps, the twin 130 is better.
Single 130mm (Dido event I think) is good on her aswell. More of a barrage gun, but it does stuff done. Other than that: Baquette gun... Can't wait for 2nd chance, to waste my life farming those xD The name of the level is D1 this time arround, commanders o.o
Now all I need is a rerun of Warspite's retrofit and the dream fleet will be complete ^_^
The mic makes a difference, it really helped with the quality of the vid.
NICE!

I never noticed how smooth your voice is.
I fucking LOVE IT.

Watashi Wa Numbah One. Love Sandy, already oathed her now just need to complete her retrofit tomorrow once I get the retrofit item.
I believe that the twin 127mm is the best since it gives AA which is what makes San Diego kami-sama as well as the most needed stat in chapter 12 and 13
The Twin 127 is overkill for the AA as her AA is already high, but will waste her MGM +1 potential.
May I ask 2 questions...I saw at Warspite that you have equiped the Triple 406mm MK6 Main Gun (if I am not mistaken), currently I have on her the 410mm Mounted Gun, is it better with 406 than the 410? and why is that?.
And second I curently have only one gold 138.6mm equiped on my Nimi retrofit and two purple ones shall I equip the gold one to Sandy, she is equiped with a gold Twin 127mm MK12 Dual Gun.

Nice mic men, your voice is nice to hear, natural ASMR
Question aboubt her "I'm No.1" skill. when it procs, does it affect North Cal's AA Firepower skill?
So what I got out of this is because her torp stat is bad I should just use 2 pure oxy torps on her, thanks for the advice
Please don't, her torps are rather useful to weaken squishy enemies and pure oxygen torpedo won't really make her torps strong
You’re wasting them oof

Do you use Sandy as boss fleet or mob fleet? I feel like with even the ships i have rn I'd rather use Cleveland in mob
honestly, she's good anywhere you put her. For Chapter 13, I use her in my boss fleet.
uh do i need one more sandy to retrofit her or can i put pullin
What if you put the Quintuple Mag Trash Torpedos on Sandy to match her trash torpedo stat?
Do you know if they are giving us a super stage item?
Since AA is most important to Sandy, wouldn't be the twin 127mm with 25 additional AA a more suitable alternative for her?
in most cases the 25 extra AA doesn't do much, so you'd rather have higher damage from the main gun itself, especially since Sandy has her Main gun +1
Just start the game few days ago. Got a warspite. Just wondering if the warspite retrofit event will come back again?
Eventually, yes. We still do not have any news regarding the date yet though.
I would like to ask when might they release a new server?

Hey
How i Can Get Single 138.6mm Main Gun ??
It'll be farmable in the new french event coming to en soon
@@melonbread4269 nice
ty
is she worth if i don't have her item for retrofit?
not really. her retrofit is what makes her amazing.
without it, she's just a mid-tier light cruiser
@@ItsAnderYT so is the event that drops her item like a rare thing or is it fairly common?
@@iasonastzene9151well the event reruns every couple months, and since it recently reran, you'll have to wait a couple months before it comes back
@@ItsAnderYT oh ok thank you very much and keep it up with this amazing vids they are very helpful
ngl i liked your old mic a lot better was nice and soft
You oathed her your the best ander
Well, the sandy cult must be happy
Can you do gear guide for Shigure Retrofit?
Her bro, i just get another yukihaze even though mine is already fully limit break . What should i do with her
Break it for exchange currency in the built area. You can get lots of good stuff like gold bulin and pr blueprint from the exchange.
Hail our Goddess! For the Cult!
Umm... i dont really like doing this, but can i put some critic here?
-main gun: mostly fine, but twin130mm is better than single 138.6 in most situation, which is against light and medium. There is not that much heavy armored enemy in this game after all (nagato, mutsu, taihou, command ship... and i think thats all). Normal ammo is not that much disadvantage to HE when the modifier is mostly the same against like and medium after all (HE has 120/60/60 while normal* has 100/55/25) and twin 130 have quite a lot of more base dps to single 138.6. The only time i would use single 138.6 over twin 130 on sandy is when im using her against taihou, or when im using tashkent somewhere else.
-torpedo:agree, anything is fine, her torp dmg is pathetic
-AA gun: now to controversial topic. using ijn bofors, let alone trashcan on sandy is heresy. here is a simple "how AA in AL work"
Anti Air in Azur Lane and its stupid implementation
Unlike main gun where each ship shoot their own main gun at separate instance, all, and i mean ALL AA gun in the fleet shoot at the same time, from the same point, with same range. This is called a "wave", and yes this include the main fleet too, main fleet aa gun shoot from vanguard, as stupid as that sound. So how does the game decide its reload and range? they average it. when you see 0,56s on ijn bofors, that doesnt mean sandy will shoot aa gun every 0,56s, it just mean sandy will contribute 0,56s on whole fleet aa reload average. Which also mean sandy will only do 87*(sandy stat modifier) dmg every wave instead of 130*(sandy stat modifier) every wave, which is a lot of aa dmg loss. They also average the range from all aa gun in the fleet, and this include aa gun base too. The only thing that is not averaged is dmg, which is totaled instead. Oh and there is also 0,5s of absolute cooldown between wave. here is an example of an aa calculation:
1:2 fleet of akashi/sandykai/ayanami
akashi(3 hpaar, 2 quad bofors, +390 aa stat): 4 aa gun base, each 100% eff. aa stat total=160+390=550, rld=181
aa dmg/wave=4*(100%)*(1+550/100)*(120)=3120, aa gun reload=sqrt(200/(100+181))*1.04=0,88s
sandykai(no hpaar, roomba, +45 aa stat): 1 aa gun base, 185% eff. aa stat total=1,25*(559+45)=755, rld=210
aa dmg/wave=(185%)*(1+755/100)*(130)=2056, aa gun reload=sqrt(200/(100+210))*1.36=1,09s
ayanami(no hpaar, ijn bofors, +45 stat): 1 aa gun base, 75% eff. aa stat total=146+45=191, rld=228
aa dmg/wave=(75%)*(1+191/100)*(87)=190, aa gun reload=sqrt(200/(100+228))*0,71=0,55s
so total aa dmg/wave=3120+2056+190=5366 aa dmg, with each wave come every=(4*0,88+1,09+0,55)/6 + 0,5=1,36s
total fleet aa dps then can be written as 5366/1,36=3945,6 aa dps
now what will happen if we use ijn bofors on sandy instead
sandykai(no hpaar, ijn bofors, +45 aa stat): 1 aa gun base, 185% eff. aa stat total=1,25*(559+45)=755, rld=210
aa dmg/wave=(185%)*(1+755/100)*(87)=1376, aa gun reload=sqrt(200/(100+210))*0,71=0,57s
total aa dmg/wave=3120+1376+190=4686, with each wave come every=(4*0,88+0,57+0,55)/6 + 0,5=1,27s
total aa dps then can be written as 4686/1,27= 3689 aa dps.
first setup have range of (4*28+35+29)/6=29,3 while second setup have range of (4*28+29+29)/6=28,3
as you can see, using ijn bofors on sandy actually LOWER both fleet aa dps and range. its because aa dmg sandy sacrifice doesn't outweight ijn bofors fast reload contribution on wave reload calculation. Meanwhile the opposite would be true on ayanami, using roomba on her will lower the aa dps, because the aa dmg increase wont outweight roomba slow reload contribution, though in her case the range will increase.
So how am i supposed to set up my AA? best aa set up is different for different fleet, but since doing calculation is sometimes too complicated, there is a simple template that can be used to always get "good" aa dps:
aa carry (sandy, isuzu, etc): roomba if auto (good dmg and range, slow reload), pom pom if manual (good dmg and reload, low range)
bad aa (most ijn dd, cvl, etc): ijn bofors, trash can (low dmg and decent range, but high reload)
everyone else: quad bofors (balanced)
You can use twin 100mm as roomba filler, and twin 105mm as quad bofors filler. And ofcourse, bb get staag for hit stat.
using ijn bofors on sandy instead of roomba/pompom however, will most of the time lower the fleet aa dps.
aux: mostly fine. i would say toolbox+rudder would be her default, and use hpaar only if she survive fine.
and thats all, im sorry that this have become quite a long read.
oh also, ijn bofors is twin 40mm type 98, or you can called it stop sign.
I hope atlanta get a retrofit one day
When is Warspite gonna get the retro item event?
nothing for warspite's retro rerun has been announced yet ;(
@@ItsAnderYT my sadness is immeasurable and because I'm sad now imma change all my guns to Confetti guns until Warspites retro item event comes
for AA , just take 40mm quads bofors
You will want her for chapter 13
Me who had no idea what I'm doing and had her retro in chapter 6

There are some things to keep in mind about AL performance in general:
1. It's poorly optimized, it even sometimes lags on my phone which is relatively new (OnePlus 6T)
2. On PC the best performance emulator by far is MEmu in DirectX mode, because that one uses Microsofts Hyper-V technology and does some compromising on picture quality in exchange for performance
I know you're sponsored by BlueStacks, but I've tested every emulator out there by now and the only ones worth using are MEmu and Nox (I think Nox uses Hyper-V too, but it's slower on my system and DirectX mode is buggy there).
Even Google's own Android Studio emulator is straight garbage because it uses like 50 % CPU and GPU while putting out maybe 5 fps.
Nox does use Hyper-V, but it eats up CPU, so it can lags sometimes. i use nox
Ooh that Alabama skin 😋🤤🤤🤤😍😍
i used the dd gun you have equiped on monarch for sandy
thats CL gun on monarch and dont use that! use DD guns
ok thx
Gotta wait 4 tomorow to finally retro her
Need help
Please do a guide for sn sovetskaya rossiya
I don't know.how to build her
I try to friend you on Lexington, and your list is full. Am sad.
Guys, just wanna ask for those who did the sparkilng battle star minigame, whats your fastest run on it?
Just asking. Mine is 36 seconds
WATASHI WA NUMBA WAN~!!!
U sound nicer too~
Does nerfs happen in this game?
so far, nope. Nothing has ever been nerfed.
I finally got my Numbah Wan fully retrofitted after getting the mic.
Which means no plane can stop Sandy now!
Also, Isuzu Kai guide when?
WATASHI WA NUMBA WANNNN!!!
Sandy have bad torpedo stats? Hawk2zer0 would like a word with you.
Sandy and two kula expert Helena and Nicholas
chapter 13 you can auto them
