[Azur Lane] December 2022 Updates - New UR AA Gun, Long Range AA Mechanic, & Hood Buffed!
Ойындар
The first half of December brought us 2 maintenance periods that brought us a few mini events, an update to the gear lab equipment, and new augment modules for older ships. I go over all the updates just in time before the end of December brings us the new UR Yorktown II.

EDIT: 2:44 Note the META ships have different specific skills related to their lore "faction" Ashen Might: Ark Royal , Helena , Hiryuu , Renown, Repulse, Scharnhorst, Fusou, Hiyou, & Junyou Cinders of Hope: Gneisenau, Fortune, Hunter Flickering Light: Yamashino, Souryuu, & Trento Framework of Logic: Arizona & Memphis So not all META ships will get buffed by Arizona META. At this time just Memphis META, but more will likely come soon.

Technically this type 2 can also apply to the 2nd World War shipgirls who had WW1 rigging that were either sunk during WW1 or retired after the war ended and the 1st World War shipgirls who had a pre-1st World War ship that was retired from service prior the the 1st World War
Introduction of that french AA gun was a bit of surprise since it was low on my list of possible UR AA gun list. Looking at stats it makes for excellent universal AA gun for backline and vanguard. Though being of UR rarity I'll likely make no more than 3 of those, unless they'll add more affordable SR version or introduce french heavy AA gun to use on vanguards. Other new & old gear added to lab also helps me improve my in-game roleplay. Also I must say all those augmentation modules sure are quite neat way to make some kansens relevant again, and also a good way to burn some excess coin.

Yes it is the best all around AA gun definitely. AA is just weird.
I will say, the 127mm gun is not a upgraded AA gun: It's a destroyer gun that class switched to AA gun, so it doesn't require the crafting that the other 3 AA guns need. It's the cheaper alternative if you just want to figure out if the time fused guns are any good. Also an alternative FP AA gun source if you can't manage the materials for the 134mm.
Does arizona really buff ALL meta ships? "Framework of logic" is only the name of hers and Memphis' skill (so far). others are called Ashen Might or Cinders of hope. depends on their faction story-wise I think. Edit: could also refer to their important battles. Ashen Might is Midway, Framework of logic is Pearl harbour etc. Not sure about that, didn't check the ships

Pretty sure most of the vanguard ships have Framework of Logic, including Helena Meta. Edit:Ok, not as universal as I thought, but I was pretty sure Memphis's skill worked on Helena Meta at the very least, even if it does say Ashen Might.

from what i've seen in gameplay, some of the new long range AA guns are bugged, and i've had sorties were none of my AA was actually doing damage, despite the animation showing them firing. hope they fix said bug soon
19:31 Not sure if you play the mini-event stories, but the item is a reference to an experiment that SKK conducts with Anchorage, so I guess that's why it's limited to her. It definitely would have been cooler though if the item had better stats/a gameplay combat effect though

Ah thank you for the info. A classic case of EN don't read (at least the lore for me).
I can't find this info anywhere, so hopefully someone here knows: what kind of armor do bombing ships have (the ones in W14 that move forward with the spotlights)?
Dunno if I would say the twin UR gun is the best barrage gun anymore. For a while at least according to other players like Just3c its been falling behind triple guns and not best in slot in all forms of content depending on your setup. Also for a ship like Musahi it definitely isn't best in slot. Still going to pick up three guns eventually...some day since I have none. At least there's a better way to get them now.

Depends on the exact type and timing of the content you clear. If the reduced CD doesn't result in an extra shot over the course of the battle, it's pretty useless in PvE boss fighters. However if it does, as it does often, than that's big. Also anything that cares about clear speeds needs it. And of course PvP, firing first is huge.
I don't know but Arizona META's jamming field doesn't appear in the field?
Can we get a gear guide soon? A best in slot for PVE and PVP?

Snow globe is Aux any ship. 500 hp and 2 luck. The only Anchorage spacific thing is it makes it snow in the battle. Might have a hidden effect.
I dont think Arizona META will really put slow on bosses since they wont come near enough to be affected. (Also as others pointed out, only a few META have framework skills) You can craft the "new item" for rainbow PR2 by using combining old T2 plans. They obviously *HAD* to do this since there isn't like a main gun UR in print ingame to use, obviously. META: "Pancake best fighter!" YoStar: "So we're going to buff this thing."

@@Practitioner_of_Diogenes There's that whole debacle on reddit about the II's how to go about doing them. My personal opinion is they should have been separate shipgirls, since the ships themselves historically are completely different. Different class of ship, different ship hull and different service history. Hell, their names even swapped around during construction. But, the decision has been made to make them the same shipgirl just equipped with different rigging. Meaning, the name of the ship (the shipgirl) matters more than the ship itself.
