Rondo at Rainbow's End reruns next week!
I like Hai Tien's oath skin
I like mog
>>1492866Get to the field.
I must be true to myselfNo, Blucher doesn't count. She has that big smile retard energy. I want Agir but blonde.
Do I have to worry about subs at all in World 15? Is it just super plane hell of World 12 and 13?
>>1492886>No, Blucher doesn't count. She has that big smile retard energy.leaving aside the fact she's not a retard, how is that supposed to be a bad thing? have you sworn war on happiness or something?>>1492892it is both super plane hell and sub hell if you engage vs Vanguard nodes. that said, there's a very high chance (like >85%, source: anecdotal evidence) there will spawn enough CV/BB nodes that you won't have to engage them. at worst, just once per sortie
>>1492905>how is that supposed to be a bad thing?Not my type.Eugen was apparently good enough to release Tallin and Agir who pretty similar but they all of course had nearly the same hair color. I just want a blonde one.
Do I want to throw Shimanto and Scylla in the same fleet as the boss fleet or clearing fleet?
>>1492909I used Brest/Scylla/Shimanto and had no problems for mob fleet.
>>1492912Who was in the backline for that fleet?And how did the boss fleet look like?
>>1492916MobMusashi/Aquila/UnicornBrest/Scylla/ShimantoBossBismarck 2/Volga/Independence Anchorage/Sandy/Plym
>>1492918it still amuses me that Musashi of all botes was a staple in many w15 mob fleets
>>1492921her yellow skill is just too good. I've seen people do it with Soyuz too, but mine is at safe now so it isn't really a fair comparison.
>>1492918How many AA Radars on for the aux equips?Should I use Shimanto's gun on her or just give her a Seattle gun?Should Scylla have a DD gun or CL gun? Same for San Diego.What gun was on Bismarck, HE?Did any of the healer CVs have any auxes like those ones that increase take off speed?>>1492922Guess I might as well ask, what guns on Musashi?
>>1492924>Guess I might as well ask, what guns on Musashi?iirc I was using the purple twin 410mm
Also, will sextuple bofors suffice or do I really want that UR AA gun?60 electronics is a fucking hefty pricetag but I can make several.
>>1492925Just the regular HE one or the gear lab one?
>>1492924>How many AA Radars on for the aux equips?I didn't use any>Should I use Shimanto's gun on her or just give her a Seattle gun?I think that is the triple 150mm? If so yes, it gives more AA>What gun was on Bismarck, HE?I ran the 457>Did any of the healer CVs have any auxes like those ones that increase take off speed?Yes, all of them ran one beaconThey probably are talking about the 410mm kai from the gear lab.
>>1492922I bet it does, not as tanky but her barrage just erases everything. Kearsarge worked wonders for me with her absurd fighters, salvos and barrage>>1492924Twin 410mm Kai always. Yamato gun is too damn slow, her real damage comes from the barrage foremost
>>1492926rule of thumb is (eh?)sex boffors on your AA DPS botes, UR AA on botes with lower AA stat/eff so it acts as an accelerator while still contributing with some good damage. Twin 90mm 1939 is a good alternative to this
Any special equips on the frontline then? Or will the usual combination of torp bulges/rudders + toolbox work?
what would lusty's bedroom look like?
>>1492953She strikes me as a noblewoman, so a noble's bedroom?
>>1492953A secret skk shrine hides in her closet, it has a collection of skk sneak nudes taken by Glasgow.
Do you know when they will announce the anniversary contests? I want to see if there is drama again
part of what i did for the survey
Alright 15-1 turned out pretty simple after all the questions. The first two stages tend to be pretty simple.What nonsense does 15-3 introduce? Do I need to radically change my fleets for those or what?
Oh wait, guess all the hubbub at the start of the map is probably what's going to start happening in 15-3
>>1493051They add one extra wave to every enemy encounter
>>1493051besides >>1493131, 15-3 introduces subs on Vanguard spawns and an extra boss, and they debuff you upon clearing (-30% damage dealt and +30% damage taken, but only affects one fleet at a time and is disabled on clearing mode). 15-4 has 3 bosses in total, so you should cycle between fleets vs themI should warn you that 15-2 boss is rather annoying, both their planes and their salvos hurt like shit and you should save airstrikes to clear them
>>1493032I wrote about how the base models should be less revealing in mine as well
>>1492921Her health pool plus synergy with Hammann II (-55% damage received) just makes her the best flagship tank while dealing huge damage. Another surprise W15 that quite a number of CN players use is Impero, damage redistribution while dealing really high damage that she regularly got MVP when I tested her out.
>>1493334>-55% damage receivedit's ackchyually multiplicative, not additive, so 47.5% (still a fucking lot of damage res). I actually wanted to test these two with Ticonderoga's 3rd skill (55.375% total) for the laughs, but I didn't have enough cog arrays for Tico and I got Houstsu fairly quickly anyhow>Imperoshe's truly brilliant after all
Managed to kill all the fleets in 15-2 on my first run. The Shimanto + Scylla combo is pretty fucking strong, especially with two healers.It also feels good to use my ringed botes for clears now.
>>1493708I’m hoping Brests FS is amazing
>>1493710Where the fuck is Agir's FS
>>1493711probably not until either JP anni or CNY, its not like there is any real pressur for gote fatesim since she hasn't really been powercrept by this point
lv8 Wichita and I already know I'm going to hate this fight, fuck those chains
>>1493947Agreed, getting flashbacks from stuff like the ugly sisters META or Arizona META's clouds
>>1493950>stupid chains and subs capable of downing your backline in 3-4 hits>AIDS fart clouds whose real AoE is disconnected with the cloud gfx and would randomly spawn right where you are>now thiswhat's with their fetish for chains and clouds locking you to death, fucking hell
I need a secondary gun for Krohnsdadt and I don’t have any SR CL guns that slot in there. What’s the best one to build in the gear lab? I see there’s an iron blood one that costs like 20 more metal than the comparable CL guns for other factions.
>>1493976If you want it asap, craft this onehttps://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_152mm_(6%22/47_Mk_17_DP_Prototype)Otherwise farm this from the War Archivehttps://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_152mm_(MK-5)#Type_3-0
who keeps putting shipgirls in cheshires outfit
>>1494104Problem?
>>1494104a blessed soul, I'm sure
My boss fleet is>Bismarck/Independence/Volga>Anchorage/San Diego/Plymouthand I think Bismarck is the only one doing any real damage to bosses. I've got UR planes on my CVs but Indy is mostly there to stop planes from polluting my screen with quicker loads while Volga is mostly healing. Should I sub someone else in?
>>1494113Are you actually having problems killing the bosses? if not its fine.
>>1494116It's just coming a lot closer to the wire than I thought. 15-1 was a cakewalk but Ise and Hyuuga in 15-2's shots are raising the detection gauge a lot faster if I'm not specifically wiping their shots with CVs.So I'm just worried going forward with 15-3 and 4 later on.
>>1494120I'd just leave it as is until you run into a problem. Hyuuga fucked me up too when I did it originally.
>>1494113if it works, it works. btw, if Independence is getting MVP time and again, that means she's doing her job pretty well>>1494120yeah, 15-2 boss is a pain in the ass. I'd even say they're harder than 15-4 final boss (and they're still kind of a pain) just on account of their salvos, so you're good
How bad is Foch Meta? She makes my pp VERY hard which is usually a sign she's worse than a common.
>>1494137META's aren't that good in general.
>>1494137she's good for my dickas a rule of thumb, METAs aren't actually meta. that doesn't mean they're bad, some of them are actually quite alright (like Renown, Rodney and Helena), just that they're outclassedexceptions are Jintsuu being good for torpautism and both her and Fortune being excellent for memevp, and U-556
Wonder if the end of the month event is going to be the event they pulled Carl from, and if they are going to slot Anson into it.
>>1494177Will Anson (?) be a proper sub this time? Will they actually release an Anson that looks more in line with the other KGVs?
>>1494180I hope they reuse the design for a sub, it would fit perfectly for one. As for BB Anson, I am not sure what to expect, I have a feeling they will play it safe but I hope she at least keeps the hair color and de shelved look.
>>1494180given they completely removed her and did an emergency swap instead of a few edits like they did with Peter, its probably safe to assume her design was just completely redone, no idea if they will ever reuse the design they probably got forever spooked by it
>>1494184>>1494183It's a change I'm actually for.Blue Hair Loli Anson would have been a design I wouldn't have batted an eye too but they just had to preview her as the final KGV sister.The body type was one thing but blue hair? At least keep it closer within the same color spectrum
>>1494137Purple METAs are usually at least slightly better than regular purples, I know anything that isn't UR territory is considered bad nowadays but purple METAs are actually easy to raise and are pretty nice before you get the big hitters
nicholas... please come home...
>>1494185for me it was the swimsuit default instead of a proper KGV class outfit, a few weeks ago somebody posted a pic of og Anson with a similiar uniform and she looked far better
>>1494185it's the entire combo>loli>blue hair>fake moustache>crocs and floaty ring, which made her look like a joke character>intro on jp twitter further consolidated her as a joke character>among KGV classrather not see this abomination again, desu I just hope everyone involved with this got demoted or fired>>1494196good luck broI'm just missing Isuzu, I'll get back to farming her once I'm over 400k coins after Rondo
>>1494137It's pretty tough to not just use the ones you like especially now with a wide selection of equipment. There's 3 choices of UR CA guns, UR torpedoes can be crafted if you really want them, UR AA guns can be crafted. At safe 13-4 and 15-1 can be fully cleared on auto with just a single fleet. Just don't bring them to the tougher maps or surrounded with others that can't really carry the fleet.
>>1494221>>1494200Granted, Anson was a bote I actually had expectations for, just because she's the last KGV. I don't normally do but blue haired Cherino just wasn't itAnd I fucking hate Cherino too
>>1494200>>1494221i really thought it was going to be an april fools thing. i still want to know what they were thinking
>>1493258i literally only have a problem with Alsace' chest ribbon for some reason, Mogador is pretty much naked under the cape but somehow I forgive her design, very weird how i judge
>>1494349The cloak in itself is really all-encompassing.The ribbon is like the only thing between her neck and chest for Alsace.
>>1494263>>1494221I wonder what the long term consequences on future character designs will be now, I said in a previous thread that Manjuu might have taken the wrong conclusion if they decide that it was because they got too carried away with being lolicons and cut down on outright loli designs in the future, rather than that it wasn't about the loli per se, it was about not taking the KGV class name seriouslyWas there enough time between the incident and Martyrium's release to look back over their plan for that event and switch out designs and alter the commissions for CGs and other illustrations if they felt they must? speaking of lolis it occurred to me that the DDs we got for 2024 were very much lolis, almost comparable to Mutsukis in some cases (i still seethe about Ognevoy being a loli), and then for the first new botes after the Anson incident, Fleuret and Epee don't seem quite as “loli” at least to me for a DD, closer to “petite” moreso. This all makes me look back on the early 2024 lolis more critically but idk
>>1494361I vaguely remember people posting >>1494183 in response to Anson's preview announcement so I really hope they got the message that people disliked her design for being radically different to her sisters and not entirely because she was a loli.
When the hell are they going to add a UR Fighter.
>>1494397I hope someday
>>1494397PR6 didn't have Kearsarge's planes, so maybe they'll be added in a future gear lab update like the Prototype Spearfish.
>>1493032Might as well simply told them ur gay bro.
>>1494361We will only know in future events if more petite-maybe-former-lolis botes appear, i don't think that might be the case.
don't bite>>1494397UR jet along with sex ret, trust the hopium
>>1494542Tell Sara to stop being greedy. I expect them to come out with Lexington though. Krauts were the ones messing with siren tech, so I’m surprised they haven’t shown any yet.
>>1494617yeah, I bet it's gonna be Lexingtsu or Alaska this christmas... or both. maybe events will cycle between 1 and 2 URs per, moving forward>Tell Sara to stop being greedybratty shitcan needs prank correction
>>1494621I still think burgers are getting EN anni with CN anni going to them next year. >>1494658stop bullying me wife
...
>>1495032Not quite it, aim for gold!
>>1495032rip
patch notes stated right after the rerun a new IB event will happen, likely a raid event or something along those lines
>>1495227It said SP event, aren't those the ones with the mini map like Impero and Foch?
>>1495255Yeah, just like Impero’s event

Is 15-1 a viable place to farm for gold before events now?
>>1495527if it's exclusively for gold, 13-4 is still king. going by https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Chapter_15, 15-1 isn't worth it, and 15-2/3 should approach 7.2 gold/oil
>>1495537I haven't touched 13-4 in forever.I wonder if I can fully auto it now.
>>14955491 healer on main (carriers, Rupprecht/NorCal) + healer (Brest, Jeanne), AA carry (too many to list) or both (Shimanto) on vanguard and Perseus+barrages on boss fleet should do the trick quite easily
>>1495525>>1495465>>1495393>>1495391>>1495368we need bigger hats
nicholas... this isn't funny anymore. your mother(s) and i are very worried about you
>>1495737shhh, she's sleeping
>>1495737who is the mother(s)
So the enemy fleet compositions changed for 15-3 where the easy recon fleets have subs now.Do I throw in DDs in my fleet now or just avoid recon fleets?
>>1495853throw in a few dds, if your have raffey tsu put her in the mob fleet and give her an edgehog and you will be good
I can barely kill lv14, and using anything but a CB in the frontline is suicidethis fight is so AIDS
>>1496032If I'll be able to consistently get 75 points on the assists, that will be good enough to me.And maybe I'll manual my own showdowns.
>my wife Jamaica actually got an augmentTime to ride
i was gonna draw a shipgirl in an action pose and now i can't remember which one
>>1496288which action pose were you going to do

Tired of the shitposter on /alg/ shitting on frogs every thread, and I worry that some lurker will believe him, then tell everyone else off of 4chan
>>1496395I doubt any lurker will believe him simply because he makes it blatant he is samefagging hard, this is especially true for somebody who would unironically use websites like reddit or discord were they soon realize said shitposts only exist on 4chan, the real shame is the fact mods allow him to make 100+ posts of him talking to himself
>>1496395"Manjew" was a word he made up and he's the only one that used it, but he spammed it so hard and consistently for years that people started to think it's just regular thread culture, making it hard to discern if posts using that word is the usual spam or genuine criticismUnfortunately it does work and it will happen until mods do something, /alg/ stuff should be left in /alg/ though, don't bring it here
>>1496395that's such a terminally online thing to worry aboutwho cares about the schizohell that is current /vg/ anyways
15-3's mobs were tougher to beat than Zuihou, poor thing.
>>1496395It's not going to work, the samefagging is so obvious
I tested Soyuz vs level 15 Wichita META and found her kinda lacking All shooties were LV125 and using the MK6 at max level
>>1496971you're neither buffing Soyuz nor CVs with that setup, idk what you're gunning forand how the fuck did your Hindenburg deal less damage than everyone else?
>>1496971Yeah I have no clue how your Hindy did barely more damage than Azuma especially with Bismarck in the fleet
>>1496975>you're neither buffing Soyuz nor CVs with that setupNah, Soyuz is getting buffed. Her condition is 2 BB, and she herself is one.
>>1496977>>1496975I wanted to test Soyuz' performance in a vacuum by comparing her against Biszwei, by using the same weapon for both, i wanted to do that test much earlier but my Soyuz wasn’t fully levelled or skilled at the time and I forgot about the idea until nowHindy was using AP and not HE in the screencap but that wasn’t the point of the post anyway
she's finally mine, bros
>>1496971Isn't soyuz barrage AP?
>>1497005it does well vs light
>>1497005Most UR BBs barrage are of non-standard types with personal efficiencies.
>>1497004congrats
>>1496061I'll have to settle for that. literally any other setup than CB up front and rafi with elite damage control aux just won't make it, and there's no way BBs would outdamage these three vs Lightcan't help but wonder if it's even possible to KO this one without using Helena. maaybe if I had a second Skyraider for smartsex
>>1497095>and there's no way BBs would outdamage these three vs Lighthttps://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1xngmecEUg/Without Helena is pretty much a premium for oaths
>>1497115well I'll be damnedgonna try that setup tomorrow
Collabs get announced during JP anniversaries and they usually debut on November right?

It's another raid/clear a SP stage 60 times next right?
>>1497400its like Imperos event from what I recall
z47>https://x.com/AzurLane_EN/status/1804091895112487254
>>1497400They announced 2 ssrs so far, so it's either a Raid or a mini event like Impero/Virtual Tower.
>>1497425Snek boat when.
>>1497425Cute
>>1497115man, I couldn't come close to replicate this. now, I have just one bani gun at +13, but it's not enough to bridge the difference (300k+), and then this same vanguard just melts on auto. this guy is both doing more and taking less damage and I can't figure out why. what the hell?has anyone else tried this comp?
>>1497550forgot to mention that I did not oath bis2, Mogador or Plymouth
Is Mogador good for 15-3/4's sub clearing?Or is she more World 14's speed?
>>1497557you could try her, but keep in mind her AA stat is pretty meme
>>1497562>AA stat is pretty memeYeah that's what I was worried about. I was just wondering if her offensive capabilities would be enough to offset it slightly if she had help with some good AA botes deployed with her.

I unironically really like the Azur Lane plot. I like the consistent theme of "friendship and cooperation between nations can conquer anything", feels almost impossible to find anything optimistic these days.
>>1499069I still find the serious dialogue really disconnected to how everyone acts at port/homescreen. This might be more of a localization issue though. Plus the plot has only recently become a bit more readable but I still think the plot being conveyed only during events just isn't the right move. Main story updates for other gacha games are definitely less frequent but the fact that no specific faction can have a consecutive event also fucks up the pacing. I think having these multi-national plotlines is sort of fixing that issue though I guess.Hate to be THAT guy too but BA's story is all about letting kids be kids and do stupid but still hopeful and optimistic shit.

>>1499157This is the most explicit they have gone isn't it
>>1499077>brings up the game that copied another game instead of the game it copiedNo one really played the actual shonen kino that is Princess Connect huh, guess that's what happens when you deal with Crunchyroll
>>1499205Agir's skin also does it
>>1499218Really? I didn't know
Is the 3% damage dealt a good talent?
>>1499277it's basically the best
>>1499277You want that on every cat
the amount of people bringing BB AP guns vs Wichita just because she's a CA is something elseI mean, I was convinced long ago that most people playing this game are gorillas just by checking showdown fleets, but still
>>1499586You'd be surprised at how bad the average person is at playing games. Even with things as basic as that.
jp patch noteshttps://azurlane.jp/news-item.html?i=1372from the looks of it (MTL'd btw), it's going to be a special event with battle and story mode (like From Zero to Hero) with consecutive sorties (like Frostfall)moreover, Action Report: Operation AF and Triple 152mm MK-5 (this https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_152mm_(MK-5)#Type_3-0) added to Core Shop, and some new additions to sleep mode>can check on/off automatic dialogue lines while on sleep mode>can set a timer (1, 3 or 10 minutes) before it switches to sleep mode
>>1499586i bring bisko2 and alsace with twin 457s because im too lazy to equip them with baniguns, deal with it
>>1499586Why you gotta call me out like this man...In my defense I only learned different guns have different armor modifiers semi-recently.
>>1499657I forgot to mention, some Playground thing that should work just like Onsen (+10 extra morale/hour)
>>1499688god bless, I can level my botes easier.
>>1499586I'm too lazy to change teams, let alone gear.
>>1499657another thing to note is they seem to specify new equipment and new botes after next maint which might mean PR7 willl be after this event
>>1499758PR announcements are typically in July so that lines up.
>>1499759yeah, I expect this event to last the usual 2 weeks and PR7 to be implemented on july 11
I'm usually excited for PRs but I'm not really feeling it this year for some reason, hope I get a pleasant surprise
>>1499841PRs have become a lot less special ever since they had multiple events that were nothing but paper botes
>>1499841while Kearsarge and Shimanto are among my botewives, I share the sentiment. the PR6 reveal last year was a complete disaster. erratic announcements, jp and cn desynced, IB eating two slots because fuck you and Kearsarge was a complete mystery until patch notes announced her before any official post (and then her base art was unfinished)I hope they won't fuck up big time again

>>14999365 > 4 > 6 > 1 > 3 > 2
>>1499941the fuck, are you me?>tfw on high hopium that one day they'll give Drake the augment she deserves
>>1499947actually I'm blind, I read "3 > 1" instead. I guess you're not quite me
>>1499950>>1499947>Drake AugmentWhat would she feasibly need to be strong? She's a CA in a world of CBs and her own healing attack doesn't seem all that great.
>>1499947>>1499953An augment won't save Drake meta-wise unless it both ups her damage output to Hindenburg level or better AND makes her tankier or adds some good utility.Just give her a new good skin.
Can Drake even be augmented? She had 2 skills and they got both their "+" with FS5.
>>1500247Drake will be the first bote with “++” skills
>>1500247that's partly why I'm high on hopium, cause I know it'll never happen. I don't think she has ever taken part in any event to begin with and she might be among the botes with the least oath lines (just 4), with just one skin nearly 4 years ago. she's as forgotten as it gets.oh but I can't wait for yet another Hermione/Grozny skin
>>1500248Either that or her All out Assault, I guess
>>1500256imagine drake being the first rainbow ship to get a rainbow rarity augment and still be shit lmao
>>1500403the saddest thing is that I cannot rule this outmy wife deserves better
>>1500403At the very least I hope that they'll try to give her a pseudo extra gun like with Sandy.
I hope Carl gets her own ASMR track someday so I can hear my German mommy in bed.
How harder is 15-4 compared to 15-3? I'm feeling like I should swap out Independence for another healer.Zuihou doesn't really do a lot so I feel like survivability matters just a little more than damage dealing.
>>1500737mob enemies are essentially the same as 15-3, just with a couple more levels to their namefirst boss (Zuikaku) is easy, second boss (Wakatsuki and Hatsuzuki) is slightly harder, last fight (Zuikaku as boss, other two as minions) can be hard. they actually do a fair bit of damage to your vanguard and it gets worse after you kill both DDs
>>1500752So would it be better to have another healer around?
>>1500754I managed with Aquila as healer (would've used Volga if I had her) and SanFran in the middle, so I think it's doable with just 2 healers total. 3 would be overkill imo. I also wouldn't ditch Independence, her planes are just too good to interceptI did swap Aquila back to preload mode after hitting safe mode thoughyou could be a madlad and swap whatever BB you're using for augmented NorCal, see if the healing pays off the damage loss. just don't blame me if it stinks, though
>>1500782I think it's because Volga heals on a timer that I'm not noticing the heals when my screen is full of planes to notice it happening compared to Unicorn and Aquila's heals that are happening as soon as I press the air strike button.I could use San Fran, although I have no idea how tanky she is.>NorCalI do have her fully kitted out. I was also considering Honoka too because she also heals per salvo.
>>1500782Oh but for reference the fleet I'm referring to is>Bismark II/Independence/Volga>Anchorage/San Diego/PlymouthSo it only has one dedicated healer
so does forming an advice fleet just go off of the highest power?
huh

For AA guns, should I prioritize the boats with high AA stats for the good guns (I only have two sextuple bofors...) or give them to boats with low AA to help "pad" them?
>>1505779Basically you give high damage AA guns to botes with high AA stats and AA guns with fast reload to botes with low AA stats.On backliners you use STAAGs/Hazemeyers for the accuracy bonuses and fast reload (BBs have priority for them),When you don't need AA and additional accuracy bonuses for BBs you minmax for damage with https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Twin_134mm_AA_(QF_Mark_I)See https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home

>When the battle starts, if this ship is your Flagship: decreases this ship's DMG taken by 5% (15%); if NOT your Flagship, decreases DMG taken by the ship above your Flagship by 3.5% (8%). When this ship fires her Main Guns: 50% (80%) chance to fire a special barrage (DMG is based on the skill's level).Does this apply to Odin, since she's technically in front of the flagship?
>>1506294those are nice wings
>>1506311That's ruppretch's skill, right?My guess is yes, but only as long as you put Ruppretch in the bottom backline slot and Odin in the top backline one in the fleet composition
>>1506311It works just based on the backline slots._____2 - above_____1 - flagship_____3 - below_____So if you put Odin in the second slot it will be applied to her. If you put Rupprecht in the second slot it then her skill will be applied to herself.

>>1507085while I do like big thighs, I can see where you're coming from. for me, tits like Albion's, Theseus's or Scylla's are still very fine, but I also like when they're more modest on the size, like Constellation (default), Royal Oak or Bayard. huge tits like Kashino or Hindenburg are comical, they unironically make me giggle on sight (not derision, just "lol huge tits"), and fail to get me hard

>>1507280Probably Napoli>Nakhimov>Halford>Daisen>BayardThis is subject to change as I really like all of their designs.
>>1507189Same, for me I think it's something about the proportions. I like the look of all the girls you said were fine, too. Albion's latest skin looks amazing. Kashino's base skin is still fine by me, but Alvitr is just ridiculously wide. Brest, base Kearsarge, Agir, Hindenburg are all fat, but I'm surprisingly fine with Mogador. Gorizia, Zara and Pola are also fat. A lot of girls by Cloud are just sacks of lard to me.
>>1507662>base KearsargeI think her skin is pretty faithful to base, it's probably the leotard, front view and side booba giving you the impression they're bigger than they actually are
>comically
>>1507667Kearsarge's base CG makes her look less meaty than she actually is, see pic related. Her breasts and ass are really fat, the skin just shows them off better than the base CG.
>>1507672>open pic>neuron activationI love robutt
>>1507672Compare with Reno, who is actually pudgy, but less w i d e, both in the breast and hips/ass department.
And yeah, I think Alvitr's body already borders on the disproportional territory. The torso should be longer/the girl should be taller to really pull these proportions off.
