Question How should i fit my perk for pvp?

Before i start im sorry if i posted this on wrong selection. Tried to look as much as i could and i think this selection fits my question best. I got my perk few days ago , tried to ask many ppl in game about wich mods i should use but got nowhere. All answers i get is : ''use cap/tigre mc in pvp '' , '' dont pvp in a suck expensive ship if you are not pvp expert '' and so on.. But if i never try to pvp in this ship i will never lern so please dont post answers like these i had in game.

My class is CT

Current mods what i use are

general : prototype cannons 3 , prototype rig 3 , disco reinforcement 3

sails : agile rig , nimble rig

guns : acc rig , wadding

hull : 2x heavy flanked

I know many of these is probadly wrong so that's why i want to ask sea veterans here about what should i change. I want focus on 1v1 pvp and small group pvp upp to 3v3.
thank you in forway for your advices!

Dear Mr. Vettel,

you may already know me. I am a colleague of your's and driving in the same class like you. Today I would like to point a question to you:

What is the best setup for the next weekends grand prix? I use thos settings atm: "................................................. .......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... .................................................. ......... <censored>".

I know, they are not the best, since your lap times are much faster than mine, but I am still a n00b. So maybe you could be so kind and give me some veteran hints?

Thanks for your efforts in advance,

your's sincerely

Felippe Massa

Seriously? And later you complain there's not enough players joining?? He is even in your nation.



Fittings seem fine, though keep in mind that you will be slow with those. Also if you aim for 1v1s and brawls think about replacing one heavy flanked with a double-planked.

I also have to second what others said about the Cap MC/Tigre MC and other vanillas. You will get sunk! The reason why even a lot of vets don't use a HMC every time is even they couldnt afford to. And of course the Cap MC is refreshing every time you jump in it

Thank you for advice! yeah i know cap mc aint bad ship, specially for it's price. but it gives an different feeling to play Cap mc and perk , cap mc has 2 sided gun fire while perk have 4. So even if i get used to Cap mc i wont be used so well to perk. As for expensive cost of dura im not so worried because i dont spend hours by hunting players. All i want is to be able guard my self while passing red circles if somebody engage me, so lost of 1-2 dura/week wont hurt me that much imo. Else i can allways switch to capri/tigre and take it easy if i get 1 dura left by the way, what do you think about my sails , should i add 1 more agile or keep em the way they are now?

I would go:
2 runner's / 1 runner's, 1 nimble
2 acc guns

rest is fine imo

if you aren't going to run away from a 2v1 you may even want to switch out the prototype rig for a 2nd damage mod

If you want something very much like a PHerc but cheaper, get the sleek Herc instead.

In several respects it is even a better 1v1 ship.

I can only agree with this.

If your goal is to stay safe, then the best bet is speed.

If you are looking for trouble, for me it's vanilla all the way.
You are right, in a vanilla you won't have good chances against a PHerc. But consider it the other way, what do you learn from killing a capri with a PHerc?
Now the thing is, this ship is so costly that you can either fleet a lot to recover from your losses, or go out picking only targets that you know you have a 90% chance of killing.
If you are picking your targets, you can go as well in a vanilla, attack people you have a 50% chance of sinking and run from people you have bad chances against.
If you want to have a decent chance to run from fights you need some speed, for me 1 runner's rig is enough to get away most of the time, the other is a tough sail mostly, or you can sit in dock with the sails that reduce speed and buff sail health and turning and ask for agreed 1vs1.

Btw. I think the heavy herc is also great for group fights (but slow soloing, you can get ganked easily).
