/jp/ - Otaku Culture

So close yet so far. Damn final boss, it's hard enough to reach that point without getting most of the girls critted.

SECOND

One down, one more to go. Come, Atago. Come to papa.

Saving the flash URL is pretty useful.

Welp, never go into night battles with subs.

I would use another light carrier, but they're so useless outside of this one battle and I don't have another depth charge.

Shimakaze...

Any idea when the exact time 6th server gonna open tommorow?

>>11281208
I didn't have real problem with subs in night, just once where i got critted. What formation did you use? I think the last one is the most effective to battle submarines, at least it worked for me.

>>11281217
Used that alleged anti-sub formation and ate three crits and Yura missing her only bloody shot. I'm choosing between the air radar, which adds accuracy, or the sonar, which adds anti-sub.

...Does anti-sub affect hit/evade against them? I should look that up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxUVH5fB6ZA
Watch the end. That merciless midboss...

submarine is suitable for night battle.
WW2 era, to find the submarine at night was difficult.

Cool, I might check this out.

Holy shit Michishio would you stop getting hit? I can't stand repairing you every battle especially when you're the only one getting hit. I'm about to bench you for one of the Akatsuki sisters because they're at least cute.

If you guys are planning to buy points, now is your chance. DMM is having a special where you receive 1.5x the amount of points you're buying. It will last till the 19th... errr... 18th... timezones and all.

>>11281507
Gaijin card block is suffering.

>>11281507

I know how Gree and Mobage work as far as buying credits, but how does this system work?

Snap, son. Time for a popularity poll.

>>11281598
Through credit card or the any of the additional payments that can be found on this page:
https://www.dmm.com/regist/add_paytypes/

Or did you mean something else?

>>11281676
Is it possible for us to buy points? I tried to buy something from that website a long time ago and I remember it not working out.
Has that changed?

>>11281822
not through most american cards though some work. Other pay options work.

If you like fighters/bombers and want Akagi to eat up more bauxite, I managed to get 2 天山, 2 零式艦戦52型 , 2 紫電改二 , and 1 瑞雲 from 10 tries using the recipe 40/60/10/100 with Zuikaku as my flagship. Not bad considering I really was just looking for some Tenzans.

>>11281614
Neat, though i'm pretty sure Shimakaze will be number one, would be interesting to see the rest.

>>11282923
Rank two will probably be Kongou, then maybe Kaga.

Finally a decent drop at 2-2.

I regret ignoring practice sorties up until now. You can get huge EXP boosts from them depending on the fleet you're up against, plus no need to repair afterwards or worry about fatigue. Still gotta spend resources for resupplying, though.

>>11283305
But everyone's too strong. ;_;

How did you win against that level 53?

>>11283310
The level you see on that list isn't always an accurate measure of their strength. One Lv. 50-ish guy I fought had only 2 Lvl. 1 destroyers in his fleet. Most of the time the level of the ships in the fleets vary widely.

Also, anyone know how often the list refreshes? I'm guessing about an hour but I could be wrong.

>>11283314
No idea, i just do them when i remember for the daily quest but haven't really use them to level up, i'll try once my 1st fleet finish repairing.

>>11283314
Twice a day.

>>11283305
Does these battles spend the brown thingy material? I had like 700 and now i'm suddenly at 300, damn.

Snap, son. Two golds in one run.

Still can't do anything significant against the subs, though.

By the way, has the 4 koma been ripped? I'm just using print screen for it, but I might go ahead and translate it afterwards.

http://www.famitsu.com/comic_clear/se_kancolle/

>>11283370
Sounds like Akagi or one of your other carriers are eating up your bauxite. Spam expedition 6 for 80 bauxite per run.

>>11283525
So that was the problem, yes, i have Akagi and Souryuu in the fleet. Welp, time to spam that expedition.

>>11283513
Ah, you don't need to print screen that. I could rip it for you if you want. Just give me a few mins.

>>11283671
Thanks.

>>11283513
>>11283679
Link is in the name field. Cheers.

>>11283831
Is there a program that does that?

Thanks again.

>>11283831
>>11283871
Yea, sorry about that. For future reference, I just used the online manga downloader in anonscanlation's blogspot. Just stuff the link inside the program and it should work. Sorry about the delay. I was getting errors in posting links.

Fucking compass. All those past days where I was aiming for transports, I'd get the boss over and over; now that I'm trying to do the mission to beat the 2-2 boss with all 4 Takao-class cruisers it keeps sending me at the transports, where the battleship crits one of my cruisers and makes me repair.

>>11283305
I always check to see if there's anyone with a high level flagship for huge xp, On the other hand fighting someone with a lvl 1 flagship and a bunch of lvl 40 other stuff is a waste of resources.

>>11283370
If I see the opponent has a mass of carriers I usually just drop my carriers from the fleet and use battleships and Maya. Throwing your planes at a zillion enemy planes just makes your bauxite vanish.

>>11284162
I see, gotta be more careful with that, i use my carriers for almost everything, specially Akagi and Souryuu.

>>11284205
Well, of course if you want to level your carriers via those practice battles then you've got to bite the bullet. But personally I prefer to fight those without wasting resources, since they don't reward you with anything but the XP (well there's the missions but the rewards are pitiful)

Either the bald guy is the artist's self-insert, or he just has old man moe.

Yesss, finally. My lovely Atago~

Hmm

I could not be translated...

ぱんぱかぱーん！♪

6th server just opened for anyone interested

I just clicked it and got this, and the only part i understand is the part that there is maintanence happening.

Does this still mean I got in, but the maintanence for it will continue?

I think so. Just done the same, and by refreshing you still get this screen.

Like, some preparation is being done for the 6th specifically, but inscriptions are open.

If so anon, you're my Santa Claus, I was about to sleep.

>>11285018
it roughly says since only sequential connection is possible, and there's currently high traffic, it's advised to refrain from F5ing like crazy.

plus the usual official japanese politeness formulas.

>>11285018
All I get in my screen is this. Been refreshing for more than an hour already

i got a new error page, what does it say?

Damn! lenfried do ZKMS cosplay! I smell KanColle lewd cosplay ROM coming

Server is opened.

Just started here. Should i start building some higher than destroyer ships? All i've been getting from battle spoils are these little girls.

>>11285254
I still keep getting this screen image. Does it mean I'm not selected to enter the server?

>>11285694
I'm not being allowed to play either, and I'm still getting this screen.
>>11285018


Looks like I will just be waiting it out and will have to check back tomorrow.

At least I've made some progress, I got to click a server.

>>11285018
When you have not click the 6th server before that recent image, you're not included in their so called "lottery"?

Urgh... The boss at E-1 always escapes with miniscule HP left. I always get her down to around 1-3 HP and never get the final hit. It's always a miss. My light cruisers and destroyers are definitely doing enough damage since they're packed with depth charges and sonar but they really just can't get the last hit. It's really frustrating. Right now it's more frustrating than compass boss since compass boss is actually listening to me. Is there a trick to this boss or do I just have to pray for that final hit?

>>11285769
How many sub killers are you going into it with?

>>11285874
I'd like to say 4 but it's more like 2 good ones and 2 moderately effective ones. Yura and Isuzu are fine with mid 60 antisub critting everything BUT the boss. Inazuma and Michishio are both mid 40 in antisub with Inazuma performing alright. The problem mostly lies with Michishio because she's been doing shit damage most of the time and been relaxing at the docks almost every sortie compared to everyone else. I might just replace her with someone else but it would probably result in the same thing.

Is this pretty much a "I'm fucking screwed and borked the account" message?

My id have the voice option set at ON but no voice. Anyone got this problem before?

maybe.

new registration by drawing lots for too many access.
you try after day.

I really wanna play this but it's pretty fucking appalling that I can be trying to start out for two days but can't because there's no open servers. What kind of closed limited-membership club is this?

>>11286329
They don't want to expand too quickly? They kinda got like 200k new players in the span of a month.

>>11286329
I assume its better than let new players to fold their current servers and efficiently prevent all players from playing the game.

>>11286329
Game creator was expected 20,000 user initially.
but now 330,000 user as of August 3rd.

>>11286418
crazy

Am i doing something wrong that by the time i got to map 3 of the first level, i can't kill a single thing? My destroyers miss all the time and even if it hits, it only do like 3-5 damage.

Is this the new Touhou?

How do you play this anyway? It says something about needing a Jap proxy, where the hell am I gonna get something like that?

>>11285940
Well that's not a good sign for me. I finally got my Abukuma upgraded and Yura is almost upgraded, to go along with my 20 Isuzu, but I don't have a single depth charge or sonar. I had been planning on giving it a try too after upgrading Yura, but not sure I'm going to accomplish anything now.

>>11286696
The difficulty scales up damn fast, I did 1-3 and 1-4 earlier than I really should have and was lucky not to lose any ships. You're probably going to need at least some heavy cruisers; you can get out of 1-3 without actually sinking the battleship boss (just need to sink the other ships) but you won't be able to do anything on 1-4 anyway without better ships.

>>11286732
Ok thanks. Back to doing 1-2 then.
I only have 1 light cruiser, the rest are destroyers.

>>11286766
try this.
250 / 200
030 / 030
Most cases light cruisers or heavy cruisers. or rare-destroyer (Shimakaze or Yukikaze) with luck.

Just started, I choosed samidare as my starter - did I dun goofed ?

>>11286887
Thanks, probably have to wait for fuel refill first.

>>11286907
i think the starters are all destroyers, all are pretty weak.

>>11286907
It doesn't really matter what starter you choose, the difference is negligible in the long run and you'll get more of them anyway. Murakumo and Sazanami have the worst starting stats though if you want to be picky.

Fubuki might actually be the best of the starters simply because she has higher luck, which you can't raise normally. I actually haven't even acquired a Fubuki yet either while I've gotten all the other starters.

I will never regret choosing Inazuma though.

>>11287032
Fucking 4chan upload glitches.

Upload Inazuma, get Gary Sinise

How do you guys find a proxy for this? I never manage to get a working proxy when I want one.

ho damn, being lost at the tutorial's second step feels bad..
What does the midboss want from me ?

>>11287129
use tsunagarumon

>>11287135
figured it out - needed to add the not yet constructed ship to the fleet.

Fucking final boss, it sent me east instead of north east once again before the boss in 2-4, and Akagi got critted as fuck for nothing. And look at this, this is a new time record for me, at least i had enough buckets for her.

I love how Kitakami hogs all the MVPs when I'm grinding my light cruisers but then her torpedoes always miss when it really counts.

Also, anyone know what the connection is supposed to be between Abukuma and Kitakami? If I click on Abukuma too many times, she yells to stop touching her so much then says that I'm being like Kitakami. I can't seem to find any interaction between the two ships in real life though (unlike other references such as Hatsushimo ramming Wakaba)

>>11287254
I was looking at the wiki and I'm not even sure now why I would want to hurry beyond 2-4, other than for the sake of accomplishing something. EXP barely goes up beyond it while the fights get ridiculously harder.

At least I finally got the damn "beat 2-2 boss with the 4 Takao-class" on the first try today, now I can get rid of that spare Maya. These composition/sortie missions are so annoying though; I finally got a Hiryuu and just need a Soryuu for the 4 carriers one, then I realize I can't complete it if I upgrade my Akagi (have a spare basic Kaga for it but no spare Akagi)

Amazing, how many tries does it usually take to get south on the very first day mission?

I stayed up for hours last night constantly refreshing as soon as the 6th server went up and now this is what I wake up to... ;_;

>>11285769
>>11285940
Fuck yea, I finally got her. It was just my terrible luck that I wasn't getting the final hit. Also, I meant Ikazuchi and not Inazuma. In all my E1 sorties, whoever is in that 5th slot will always get bombarded so I guess it wasn't Michishio's fault. But she has been getting hit even during training so I'm still kinda blaming her.

>>11286732
It's nice since Yura and Isuzu will usually one hit anything with just a single 九四式爆雷投射機 on them. Someone in the previous thread mentioned that you can get them by having a light cruiser as a flagship and using 10/50/10/50. You can also get them using 10/50/10/10 and I even managed to get some 三式爆雷投射機 by doing that recipe.

>>11287416
I was spamming 50 ammo, 10 of the others like crazy before and got endless fails and the occasional 12cm or weakest torpedo launcher.

Looking at the wiki all you should need is 30 ammo for depth charges and 11 bauxite for the sonar, but who knows what the odds of it actually working are.

>>11287480
Hahaha, oh wow. I swap in Yura for Inazuma and get a 九四式 on my first try, then a few tries later get a 三式. The sample data even shows people getting them with Inazuma too; I guess flagship must adjust the odds rather than allowing them to be built or not.

been having trouble getting on to try the game for a few days, keep getting this stupid screen or the server selection w/ everything full. This is getting very frustrating

One small trick for beginners.
You'll be getting surplus destroyers, strip the main gun (12.7) from those that you didn't use and equip it to your lineup. Adds 2 power.

I just started and did the first fight a few times

He hit Murakumo down to 6/15 health and I'm scared to ever go to battle again, if he had hit her a little harder, would I have lost her forever? Maybe this isn't the game for me.

>>11287707
I think a ship only disappear when down to 1/xx health, and you choose to continue the fight (night, or next area).
If hit, then it dies.
but it personally never happened to me.

Any other tips and trick for beginners ? like, ressource farming methods, besides questing like crazy ?

>>11287707
I'm just starting too and i haven't lost a ship yet and you won't unless you have a very bad luck.
Every destroyers get half their hp up in blazes everytime they're hit. I was scared too at first but now i've gone numb at how many times of my little girls getting naked in the middle of a battle.

>>11287707
The degree of fatigue increases the chances of a ship being destroyed, I think.

I lost Kisaragi due to my carelessness when grinding for the 'Destroy 10 enemy fleets' daily quest.

I would rather be scared to battle than to lose a ship again after that. Especially if it meant that I might lose any of my battleships or aircraft carriers.

>>11287290
Yes i know, i'm just trying to clear it just to complete the map, and see how much my first fleet can go.
>>11287707
It's very rare, i've been playing for a while and i lost two girls with very low stats and because of fatigue as this anon said >>11287745
When you repeat missions very often, an oragen face will show you in the characters portrait showing that they are tired. If you still go the face turns red and sink rate goes up.

too many steel while running out of gas

>800 metal recipe
>Get a shitty one hour ship
This crafting system hates me.

The more I play, the more I'm loving Mutsu; I wish she would ara~ara~ in more situations though. Too bad non-H doujinshi like this will probably never get scanned/uploaded (just like in this doujin, she was my first battleship, although I had a bit more than just destroyers and Akagi when I acquired her)

>>11287679
Yeah, it took me way too long to realize I could strip the starting gun off ships and move them around. The first time I did it was replacing my Mogami's 15.5cm with a 20.3cm. Then I realized you could actually stick 20.3cm guns on your light cruisers instead of the garbage 14cm gun that only gives 1 firepower.

>>11287707
>>11287716
>>11287722
Player ships can only be sunk if they're already at critical HP at start of battle phase

>>11287873
What are the standard result of a huge recipe like that? Carriers/Battleships?

>>11287895
I was aiming for battleships, carriers also use lots of bauxite which i use for battles so i lack most of the time.

Barely started playing. What am I supposed to do with compass to unlock the following stages? It always rolls NE. Naka-cruiser oneshots everything, and the whole team returns completely angry.

>>11288117
Nothing, that's why we call the compass Final boss, it's purely random. Just keep going until it rolls the correct route.

Well, bollocks. I got Aoi killed. And she was one level away from being remodelled.

Wish there was some sort of service we could use to get DMM points.

>>11288458
how does those remodelisation / modernization work, by the way ? couldn't figure it out

>>11288491
Get to a certain level and spend some metal/ammo to remodel. They reset their stats (whatever improvements you've made to them), but they go up a rarity, usually gain another equipment slot, and will eventually be stronger. Oh, and they get new equipment, so remove their current ones before you do.

Some even change their class.

Why won't DMM take my gaijin money?

>>11288491
Depends on the ship at certain level you can remodel them. You can upgrade using other ships but it's better to wait until the remodel because your stats resets after it.

>>11288506
>>11288503
it appears in the modification page ? where you switch gears and all ?

>>11288591
Yes.

The 改造 option lets you remodel ships when they reach a certain level.

The 近代化改修 option lets you improve a ship's stats by scrapping other ships.

>remodel
>change main weapons
>be former Navyfield player

Well that was anticlimactic; after finally upgrading my 3 ASW ships, getting them depth charges, and getting my big ships repaired, I end up crushing the event boss on the first try. Granted I did luck out and got the easiest boss grouping.

Now watch the true final boss prevent me from even reaching the sub boss for the next 10 runs.

Damn, i hope at least some of Kankore doujins get uploaded.

>>11285956
Still getting this, cleared cache, switched VPN, still this image appears. Frustrating

I'm jealous. Ultimate jealous. I've wanted Kongo for the longest time now. I only just crafted Haruna and Hiei today to fill up my 2 aircraft carrier and 4 BB main force for 2-4 breakthrough today. But I really wanted Kongo... I really did... ;_;

What blog did you get this from?

>>11289251
aha, I see... very interesting.

>>11289390
Ah ok, was wondering why the 2x boom only happens at night.
Do the gun types matters or only the stats? Was doing what >>11287679 suggested and i see light cruisers main gun is a 14cm but only adds 1 power compared to destroyer's main gun that adds 2 power.

Just got my first ship that people regularly mentioned here.

>>11289362
Nah, I'm doing 12 and 16 while I sleep now. And once I start building more ships and using up everything but ammo I'm sure I'll find myself with surplus ammo in no time.

And it turns out the compass wasn't the final boss after all, it was the random enemy formation. Got two more trips to the submarine boss, but I got stuck with the 4 sub formation and failed to sink the boss and one other. Then next try the fucking elite heavy cruiser before the boss crits Yura down to 1 hp and I have to abort. At least I've got the gauge below half now.

And god are the drops in the first event map terrible, it's like I'm running 1-1.

yo this explains why i've been seeing that miko-like character and that bunny-ear hair thing girl all over pixiv

>>11289472

>>11289485
She's pretty at least. I also wondered who she was.

>>11289469
Anything above 2 hours or so is something I'd use when I'm asleep too. 16 is something I definitely use before I go to work. Too bad equipment crafting can literally make all those resources go away in less than a minute.

I like how right before the boss they either give you the fleet with the carrier or the fleet with the battleship[?]. Almost always guaranteed to hurt your fleet. What'll make it worse is if the compass sends you west right after the battle. Well, I guess it's a good thing it only gets easier from here. I think we don't have to worry about subs in E2 so we can just bring in the big guns. Problem is that I think I read that the boss actually recovers its HP so I'm saving up buckets and resources just for that.

Someday I will get past the Try Again Tomorrow error screen, someday there will be a server with open space, and someday I will start playing this game.

>>11289392
Her twitter.

Huh, either I just happened to get another Ooi (that's pretty weird to write out) in the same battle where I lost her, or the ship gods have been merciful and returned her to me.

is there a good low level fuel farming way, or a wise trick to spend less ?
Should I consider myself lucky to get Choukai after few hours of play, or just damn her fuel consumption ?

Rather, after standing 1-2 hours will be the situation that is easy appointed winning target frame is enlarged. Please, do not panic, please arrived. #艦これ

I'm still new but I want to build Akagi really bad, the wiki says to make her you just do

建造(330/330/430/430/4h30m)

but I haven't fought her or anything yet and I'm still pretty damn early on, would I still make her if I did this, or is there more circumstances that I need to look out for. This would use most of my resources but I'm okay with taking it easy for some of tomorrow if I can make akagi tonight

>>11289672
You're guaranteed one for finishing an early quest, don't worry.

Also, boss elite submarines. I tickle them for 4 damage even with 70 torpedo and high anti-sub with depth charge. What do?

>>11289655
Expedition 5 will net you 200 fuel per run. You could also just use destroyers or light cruisers if you want less fuel usage. Or you could just leave for a few hours and wait for you resources to accumulate and do your dailys.
Choukai is pretty common and you'll be getting a crapton of her later on so you can use them to feed your ships.

>>11289678
You pray for a critical or bring along more light cruisers/destroyers for anti-subs.

>>11289678
try to use "単横陣" formation.
maybe evasion up and anti-sub up.

Is there a translation of all the 'dailies' and such? I just started today and have no clue wtf I'm doing besides collecting cute ship daughters.

>>11289722
here's a transcription, you should be fine whit the rikai siblings' power.

Akagi just got one upped

>>11289756
Yea, well... can't really blame her.

I'm getting beaten down pretty bad in the first 2 star place, and I wasn't doing very well in the second 1 star place even.

This is what my current squad looks like, I just swapped the lower level ones in because I thought the problem was my beginner ships, but these aren't proving to be much better. My damage is shit during day, and relying on night every time doesn't work very well. Any tips on how to move up from here...

>>11289775
You're going to need at least a heavy cruiser there. At the very least anyways. I'd suggest a carrier or a BB instead since it's just a few more resources.

>>11289775
farm 1-2. i have all light cruiser lineup and the boss still walk all over me.

>>11289775
Grind 1-2 and 1-1 to level up your light cruisers

>>11289775
get them all to lvl 5 at least if you get shit luck and cant get a battleship/heavy cruiser. Just make a team of only the ship you want to level, fight the first battle of 1-1 and repeat, you'll get 100ish xp for 3 fuel per run. No fatigue since its your fleet leader

>>11289786
What's the recipe for a carrier/battleship

>>11289775
Heh, I crafted a light aircraft carrier on the first day after using max materials, so that helped.

Also, collect them all.

"Drop of oil is drop of blood" -- Slogan of Japan during WW2.

at first: 任務(quest) -> "6隻編成の艦隊を編成せよ！(Organize the fleet of six ships)"
then you get Second fleet.

>>11289825
Official art book or something?

>>11289803
400/30/600/30 for BB
350/30/400/350 for Carrier

>>11289800
Thanks, this is a pretty smart idea that I wasn't aware I could do.

I hate to ask something like this, but can anyone explain the quest system a bit? I don't really get how it works.

>>11289829
Yes,Official Doujinshi
Akagi Kaga Nagato Yamato Shimakaze art etc

>>11289836
Click quest, get orange. Up to five at a time.

Complete quest, get blue.

Click blue. Rewards.

Things you do before accepting the quest won't count towards it when you start.

>>11289839
Hope there are scans.

screw fan！

uhh does this mean server is full?
or some kind of error?

>>11289877
you were not chosen in the lottery...
please try next day.

>>11289894
orz i was able to go to the server selection screen earlier tho.. gunna try tomorrow then

>>11289666
Server have reopened again for the new players.

My bullets ... all gone.

>>11290179
i'll trade you bullets for steel :-P

Are we having a translated walkthrough of this game soon? Have just started and I'm kinda lost...

>>11290223
i would if i could.

Useful add-on that lets you open the flash in a separate window. It also comes with "always on top."

If you get error, you can just close the window and open it again so there's no need to refresh the page/turn on proxy.

Ha ha, time for hangar touching.

Apologies to the guy who wanted her.

If i just save and build a battleship or carrier from the start, would it be considered cheating?
Will this decrease the challenge of the game or eventually i have to do it anyway?

>>11290524
all is fair in love and war, anon. there's no cheating.

I'm not too far in the game yet - but I think going for that kind of ship too fast can let you unable to use them due to heavy resource hogging.

how does the dailies timer work ? 24h timer, or reset at a certain time ?

>>11290685
5:00JST

>>11290685
5AM, JST. They also reset rivals on practice mode twice in a day 3AM and 5PM.
So you can do "3 practice" quest on three of 1st roasters, then do "5 win" with rest of 1st and other 5 from 2nd rivals.
As for practice, exp depends on differences of average lvls between you and rivals.
So if you find your enemy is too strong, put some low lvl ships, or just make low lvl only team to make your average lv lower. You'll get huge exp boost even you lost.
You can keep your beatable rivals later for 5 win quest.

Practice is really deep and important, also has many uses. It allows you to gain exp, clear daily quests, make your ship "shining" easily etc.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?

well

merry

>>11290523
Oh damn you. Yeah, I still haven't gotten her, my one 2:40 build turned out to be Shouhou. According to the wiki she can actually drop from the submarine boss on the event map but the odds of that are obviously terrible.

At least my growing attachment to Mutsu helps make up for it. And at least Mutsu gets plenty of fanart, one case where my taste actually agrees with Japan's. Preferring Choukai/Maya over Atago/Takao is suffering.

>>11287135
I'm having a little trouble setting up the VPN; I've registered on their website and followed the setup guide, but I keep getting the following error. The connection test itself is inconsistent: it keeps going back and forth between trying to connect and validating my username and password.

I'm sorry to ask and I know you guys aren't really here to play tech support, but anybody got any idea about what I'm doing wrong?

>>11291062
I have no idea what's that - but it happens to me every now and then when I'm using it. connection's lost due to a 619 error.
I just wait and it's fine again.

On a side note - do new fleet slot open up based on your level only ? I want a 3rd one already ...

>>11291023
>>11291043
It would be really nice to see a serious anime about it, where some girls sink and all.

>>11291058
How did you get Mutsu? I've been trying absurd metal recipes and i keep getting low tier ships. I guess my luck is just terrible when it comes to craft.

>>11291058
Funny thing is, I got her from that event boss.

>>11291070
Have to do fleet composition missions, the third one requires completing the one for all 3 Sendai-class (which has as prerequisite the one for any 2 heavy cruisers), and the 4th one requires all 4 Kongou-class.

>>11291062
I've just been using VPNGate with their SoftEther client and have never had any problems.

>>11291098
Luck. I got her on my 3rd attempt to build a battleship, but she was my only success in my first 12 or so tries.

>>11291070
>>11291147
thanks for that. I got two out of them alrady, I only need sendai now.
lv 7 currently - hope I'm not getting things slow ... and that akagi quest can't come fast enough. Not that I have any bauxite for her anyway.

When does the weekly quest resets?

Finally got to 2-4 boss but got raped hard. No one died but still, had to use three buckets because i wasn't going to spend 13 hours repairing Akagi and the other hungry ladies. What a pain though, i still have Yamashiro repairing for 7 hours.

Just tried 2x battleship recipes. First one have a 1:30 build time and the 2nd have 4:30.
That means the first one won't be a battleship right?

>>11291194
First one will be a heavy cruiser probably.

>>11291190
said earlier, 5am.

>>11291194
heavy cruiser yeah probably. got mogami out of a 300/300/600/600 for an aircraft.

btw, is it wiser to got for BB or aircraft first ? since akagi will come by quest anyway .. ?

>>11291217
As in the date. Every Monday? (i.e. in like an hour?)

>>11291248
Monday, 5am. JST.
Fortunately, it's about 75mins from now.
Check your local time.

Is there a recipe for Yamato or is she a special event ship or something?

>>11291264

Event exclusive for now.

>>11291186
Did you get the boss with the 4 BBs in it? I'm trying to hold back until after the event or after I've crafted a couple more Zuiuns and 41/46cms. I want to tear that force a new one after what they did to me earlier.

how does the count quest work exactly ?

Say I have to battle 3 times, can I battle two times and activate the quest for the third to make it work ? or does the quest need to be selected for the entire process ?

Also, does removing a quest from the current list reset her already-done achievements ?

this 5 limit make it a pain ...

>>11291340
Pretty sure you must win the 3 battles with the quest active. And yes, i think if you remove the quest you reset the already done stuff.

I'm trying to hate this event, but it won't let me.

>>11291340

you have to activate quest while doing three battles.
It keep your counts while deactivating though, so you can battle twice then deactivate, do other quest then reactivate and finish 3 times quests by battle once.

Some quests counts when you try (ie, crafting), some quests counts when you finish.

>>11291199
>>11291217
Yep the 1:30 one turned out to be a Mogami. She's good right?
I used the 400/30/600/30 recipe.

>>11291370
Which boss is the one dropping you good stuff?

>>11291294
I got the one with 3 Battleships, these ones with 98hp. Fucking annoying, and yes, guess it's time to get some better weapons.

明日以降の接続、　お願いできると幸いです。

大変申し訳ありません…今すぐしだけお待ち頂けますようおねがい致します

Getting this message, I assume something is happening with increasing the server load tomorrow?

>>11291386
hm, she's not bad at my level at least.
she came with a plane that I can't figure out the utility.. it seems to do some recon before the battle start, or something ?

>>11291420
Seems like she's detecting enemy's formation but i don't see where the use of that since we can't change formation in the middle of the battle anyway.

>>11291420

When recon success, you'll gain bonus hit/evade rate.
After hitting lv10, evolved Mogami can carry bombing seaplane named 瑞雲（Zuiun).
Unlike its default seaplane, Zuiun can do opening bombing like aircraft carrier.

>>11291493
Do we need to craft these bombers?
Also i just realized ships looted from battles sometimes carry good weapons.

>>11291147
Thanks for the suggestion! I managed to register and start (?) the game, though I'm getting this message now.

>>11291516
Servers aren't accepting new players currently, just check back daily or follow the twitter for updates.

>>11291513

Craft mostly.
But as for Zuiun, you can loot it by leveling up Huga/Ise (lv 10), or Chitose/Chiyoda(Lv 12? I forget).
You can level these ships multiple times to get these rare weapons. For example, Isuzu will get really good rader when she hits 12.

leveling up ships to 10-12 isn't that hard, using Practice mode is one good idea.

>>11291522
Ah, I see. Well, thanks for the help, regardless!

How large should my expeditionary fleet be? I have four destroyeders currently but the cost to use them is half of the profit I get from the job.

Is it okay to use fewer or will that increase the chance of failure or output?

>>11292209
Weird, use light cruisers, i think they have the lower cost. Still, expeditions tends to be more for items like buckets, or bauxite and metal, rather than fuel and bullets. There are somes that gives a decent amount of fuel later, just keep doing the easy ones until you reach the second list.

>>11292209
>>11292285
http://www56.atwiki.jp/kancolle/pages/16.html

there's the expedition list, most efficient have the relevant resource in big letters.

it also shows efficient fleet combinaison in this.

either you're on your computer all day and do those, or you progress through them and aim for long run ones.

I did that annoying long quest that ask for 15 upgrades for the first time since i had girls repairing almost all day. Went to farm with Fusou nee sama at the first map for the upgrades and level her a bit.
I expected some buckets at reward, got everything but buckets, god damn.

Fucking event map; I'm finally 1 or maybe 2 boss kills away from clearing it but now every run I either get set north and bail out, or I get to the battle before the boss where the battleship or elite heavy cruiser crits two of my light cruisers, making me retreat and repair for 2 hours.

At least my last two battleship builds just netted me Kongou and Kirishima, and all these repairs are letting me catch up on all the anime I had fallen behind on thanks to this past week of grinding for the event.

>>11291098
try 400/100/600/30 recipe.
I was able to craft now.

Have you worshiped your favorite idol, Naka-chan, yet?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICArnuwDRt4

>>11293022
>I-58
You lucky sonofabitch, isn't that supposed to be a rare drop from the event-2 boss?

I finally beat event-1 right after posting, but looking at the boss fleet stats for event-2 makes me scared. I'd guess I could throw a fleet filled with battleships at them, except Mutsu and Yamashiro are my only highly leveled ones, my Kongous have less armor than Maya.

Of course all my grinding the past week has gone into light cruisers that I suddenly have little need for anymore, my Fusou and Haruna have barely been touched lately. Don't think I have the time/fuel/ammo to grind a bunch of new BBs simultaneously over the next few days.

>>11289609
Did you or anyone else get her image set, the link expired.

>>11293022
I envy the number of development materials you have. Just... holy shit... goddamn...

>>11292982
Everyone is getting Kongou but me. It makes me the saddest Admiral in the fleet. But it's alright. I'm about to start making a support fleet for the event s-so maybe she'll pop up. Maybe...

I just started and I noticed you can feed ships to others ships to increase their stats.
Is there a limit to how often/many you can feed to a daughter? Otherwise you could make some pretty OP ships.

>>11293674
Yeah, there's a limit for each stat. Gets annoying when they're all full, they don't use torpedoes, and I'm drowning in Nakas.

>>11293674
each ships has their own limits.
one thing you should care is these fed stats will be gone when you "upgrade" ships to upper grade.
But IMO you should feed 'em anyways, you gotta get a lot of ships you never use.

Of course you should "lock" and keep those quests ships until finish the quest.

>>11291493
Remodeled the Mogami. Kinda dissapointed since she gets negligible stat rise, unlike Isuzu.
Well, it's still cool to have a heavy cruiser that can act as a carrier.

Also just finished my battleship craft, it's a Nagato.

>>11293858
lucky besterd.
upraded mogami too, at least it's one more slot.

I also remodeled kitagami (北上) and she ends up being some sort of torpedo master. guess this can be of use.

>>11293915
Is Nagato a rare or something?
Yeah too high expectation since Isuzu's stats shoots up to a heavy cruiser like stats once remodeled, so i was expecting the same for Mogami too.

>>11293858
upgraded Mogami is pretty shit, about all the good I got out of her was the free bomber seaplane. She loses a bunch of firepower when she upgrades (although her stat cap is fine) and still can't carry enough planes to really do much with them.

On the other hand, you just got the best battleship in the game (or was until the Yamato got added, but getting her would be a nightmare).

>>11293915
If you have a torpedo cruiser now, make sure to upgrade a Chitose or Chiyoda to their lvl 12 version so you can steal her first-strike torpedoes for Kitakami, which are vital to make her useful.

Seems like all the event ships will be craftable at a later date. Awesome. I guess I don't really need to rush it unless I want them for sure. So now it's short term pain for my ships or long term pain on my resources. Decisions decisions.

I'm lost. What am I supposed to do?

Clicking everything and getting no real response.

>>11294681
All servers full, try again sometime later

>>11294688
What are ideal hours to log-in anyway?

>>11294694
Servers don't work like that in this game.

You are permanently on a server once you get in one, and don't have to wait next time you go on. If you are a new player who hasn't gotten on a server yet, you wait until they either expand the current ones, or add a new one. The twitter has information on when they are adding new servers, but I haven't followed it since I got in one.

Yay!

Started Kancolle several weeks ago.
Man, compared to 2-4 hell, 3-2-1 is like a heaven.
I can't stop grinding, got two of three Kongou type here in one night.
Now I need Haruna to make 4th fleet, then I'm gonna save up resources and start E2-E4 this weekend.

>>11294882
Yeesh, did your light cruisers even do any significant damage on the way there?

So, I've noticed unhappiness thingies near the ships. Like, orange/red ones.

How do I curb this?

>>11295189
Rest 10 mins to take it down a peg. Rest 20 mins to fully take fatigue out. MVP and taking out the entire enemy fleet during day battle will lessen fatigue.

>>11295214
Ah ha. And how do quests work exactly? Do they have clear conditions, do I just keep random ones clicked, etc.

>>11294882
Congratulations!
I'm sorry English when wrong.But if you have already capture 2-4 if it is possible to capture and E-2 in the knitting

Oh, well, it looks like you lose ships if ones in red state get hit again. Why did I think the condition was 1hp, I don't know.

>>11295252
Yup. See >>11286213

There are daily and weekly quests and its recommended you do them for your resources and other items.

>>11295290
To be more precise, ships fatigued[orange] and very fatigued[red] both have a chance of being destroyed with red, obviously, having a higher chance.

>>11295167
light cruisers firepower is not enough.
I thought try to not damaged until final boss.
so I choose the winning a decision : line astern formation(単横陣?).

>>11295257
thanks! I'm up for the challenge.

Moving on to 2-1

Why are the destroyers so adorable? I want to take Suzukaze and Samidare with me all the time but they're too weak.

>>11296192
Shigure for me. She looks normal cute enough.

>>11296192

Still, you better take your favorite destroyers to the later stages. You'll need them, at least 6 destroyers.

Right now, only useless(sort of) ships are heavys, but they may get buffs like torpedo cruisers.

>>11294174
got chiyoda.
but damn.
how does one level her ? she's just so bad. I thought about 1-1 farming but she can't even kill the thing.
and If I bring another ship she won't get any MVP.

guess I'll just need to include her regularly...

>>11296357
Yeah come to think of it, heavy cruisers are the less popular ones aren't they?

>>11296416
Isn't she the one that can be upgraded multiple times? Is she weak?

>>11296425
Can I get into the game without knowing a single word of japanese?

I can recognize runes though

>>11296416
Chiyoda will be very strong one.
I have finished the E-2 and E-1 Use the Chitose-Chiyoda sisters.
Light aircraft carrier, it is possible to attack the submarine.

>>11296489
I can trust that - but mine's lv3, and she got the mogami bomber (zuiun) and her recon plane.

what bugs me is, she can't do an airstrike without a successful recon before..

what's the technique to get good exp off versus training again ? I think I should use this for chiyoda.

>>11296448
Of course, did you think we all know japanese here?

>>11296505
Can she attack with anything beside planes? At least with Mogami she can still shoots you to death if her planes isn't working.

>>11296514
she can also equip 2x 123mm standard destroyer gun. meh.

>>11296505
To make the opening attack on the aircraft carrier, must be equipped with the bomber and attack aircraft.

Fighter to reduce the consumption of bauxite would like to support the bombers and attack aircraft.
Also you should be able to damage high attack aircraft at getting air superiority.
That you install a lot of fighters are generally preferred.

I will do automatically without have reconnaissance aircraft reconnaissance.
There is also a technique to speed up the attack by carrier-based aircraft to extend the range by putting a medium-range weapon.

So I upgraded my Ooi into a torpedo cruiser, which has crazy torpedo stats (duh). So would she be better off with the depth charge? What affects the damage of that, torpedo or anti-sub?

is there a limit to the number of mission you can do daily, or such ? I've been cut in my farming by this message in red :

>>11296940
No, you just hit limit for ships, you can't have more than 10 pages. Delete some or use them for upgrade.

>>11296947
time to kankankan all those naka then.

I-impossible!

>>11296940

Last patch changed it that you must have certain numbers of slots before entering map.
In case you might miss event reward ships by hitting limits.

Now that I finally got more Kongous I think I can actually go back to my original formation plan. I wanted one fleet with fleet carriers and heavy cruisers or Kongous, and another with slow battleships and Junyo/Hiyo/other light carriers. Problem was at the time I had no Kongous and neither my heavy cruisers nor carriers could do shit to enemy battleships and elite heavy cruisers. So I wound up having to just throw Mutsu and Yamashiro in with my main carriers and watch my fuel and ammo vanish. But now, using Haruna/Kongou/Kirishima with Kaga and Akagi has been working nicely grinding the first battle of 2-4 while spending way less fuel and ammo than before.

>>11296192
That's why my Inazuma is lvl 36, I kept her as my flagship forever. She finally got passed by Mutsu though due to MVPs, plus I just can't afford to use her in lots of situations anymore; like when I'm grinding new ships and need a few powerful ships to carry the battle.

>>11296830
Depth charges are for submarines of course. Like I said back at >>11294174 you want to get hold of a first-strike torpedo (甲標的), they can be crafted but getting a lvl 12 Chitose/Chiyoda is the most reliable way to acquire them.

>>11297797
Goddammit, I forgot to clear the name field. How embarrassing.

>>11297797
ho, about thost first strike torpedo.
Is it possible to get multiple first strike ? if so, does the Torpedo item needs to be spread out, or concentrated on one girl ?

Also, remodeled isuzu, not sure what the sonar does. perhaps upgrade efficiency against plane and subs ?

Got a Kongou-class kirishima too. gotta love this power. The yellow canons allow for multiple attack waves or something ?

How many of us are still waiting to get into a server?

>>11297972
Been checking daily to try and at least get back into the server selection screen.

>>11297972
Been waiting to at least click a server for days.
Also, can some give the link for the official Kan Cole twitter?

>>11298001

>finishing all dailies in 30 min
>spending it all 400/30/600/30 > twice 1h

Let's wait 23h30 more hours ..

>>11298063
That's basically Kankore's gameplay.

Now I can't hold all these battleships.

Nor can I sustain them.

>>11298226
Welp.

By the way, is there a particular strategy to formation order? I went into a PvP battle with a flagship submarine and all my planes did the entire battle was to try to hit it (and miss). Would like to arrange it so my battleships don't take out enemy destroyers that pretty much anyone can do and focus on the big ones.

>>11298063
>Want a chiyoda/chitose
>Do 350/30/400/350 twice
>Ryujo, then Kaga
I know it's still a good haul, but i want a seaplane carrier goddamit.

Where's a list of full recipes, anyway? Kind of want another heavy cruiser.

This thing wrecks so well at lower levels.

>>11298251
I've always had a soft spot for the sisters, ever since I got Chitose killed and realized they could die.

What's in your ship graveyard of regret, /jp/?

>>11298251
my twice evolved chiyoda is getting her plane raped by the 1-4 enemy fleet.. while they always miss the first strike. and Kitagami's first strike torpedo miss most of the time.

is there a particular strategy for (this) boss(es) ? or just craft, upgrade and pray the god luck until it dies ?

Everything is random dude.

>>11298323
Nope.

Nope.

>>11298334
Ah. Well shit. Time to hope I stop getting planes and get actual guns.

>>11298306
I have disassembled someone by mistake while pressing random buttons in the beginning.

>>11298323
Fuck.

I really want to translate this game now.

>>11298323
Damn, no, fuck ;_;

>>11298251

Does the amount of resource invested heavily influence the get rate ?
I see some quite expensive receipe, but most I see used here are the least expensive..
is the 400/400/800/100-type just a waste ?

I would fucking buy tons of metal if i could, crafting weapons is getting addictive. Gotta craft stuff to beat 2-4.

>>11297837
This is something I really don't know; you definitely don't get to fire two separate attacks, but I can't tell if equipping two of them gives you a better chance of hitting. The problem is they don't seem to work in night combat, so if equipping 2 does nothing then I ought to equip just one + a normal torpedo launcher.

I'm really not sure what the yellow cannons are good for, they only give the +1 firepower but they also have +1 accuracy. I have no idea how much effect 1 point of accuracy actually has.

>>11298471
Those numbers you see are just people's random data, "I used these resources and got this", the important numbers are the lowest ones people have managed to succeed with.

>>11298334
>>11298342
Not totally random. If you want big guns you need loads of ammo and steel, if you want planes you need bauxite and some ammo and a bit of fuel. And flagship does seem to have a big effect with equipment (not so sure about ships), I have no trouble churning out planes (as opposed to failing or getting 10/10/10/10 crap) with a Kaga flagship. The pure randomness is exactly which plane you get.

>>11298323
I don't need to watch that, I know virtually every one of them got sunk during the war or was scrapped right at the end, with a few exceptions (Hibiki was in Soviet service for several years into the '50s). The game itself sometimes references their fates; Mutsu tells you not to play with fire inside her if you click on her too many times.

I'm surprised they even included Miyuki in the game as she didn't even survive to the war, she sank in 1934 in a collision with Inazuma (who incidentally tells you to watch out for collisions when you repair heavy damage to her.

I've spent so much time researching all the references I come across as I play, especially during my first week.

>>11298585
I see. Am I right in assuming so far that the more resources you invest in ship construction, the higher class your ship will be?

I poured in more resources earlier and go a Heavy Cruiser instead of a Light Cruiser like the two other times I did that earlier. The question is to me, just how much would it take to make... say, a battleship?

Nagato Class, 1st Ship - Battleship
「'Sunk in battle', ah... The light is fading, but... I'm satisfied.」
July 29, 1946 - After returning from the ocean war, the Nagato was set up without fuel as a floating battery. Welcomed home after the war. Used for American atomic weapons testing after the war, and succumbed to the second of two nuclear detonations.

Took down the E2 boss but still disappointed that the Battleship escaped. Wasted just about 5k fuel, 3k ammo, 4k metal, 3k bauxite, and over 30 buckets. It didn't help that the compass was obedient UNTIL I needed one more run to kill the boss and then the next 4 sorties it decided to be the final boss and take me towards the NW corner. Worst of all, Kumano or I-58 didn't drop for me. Better luck next boss I guess... ;_; Now to spend the next few days to stock up on fuel and buckets for the next round.

>>11298306
I just lost my Kitakami last night. That one hurt the most since she was level 33 and had two of my rare torpedoes. I was running E-2 and got the boss down low enough. Kitakami got hit down to half life on a previous encounter. I didn't have enough materials for another run and I was playing too greedy. I didn't even manage to take the boss down so it feels like she died for nothing ;_; I had to wait till morning for my revenge.

>>11298736
You realize the HP bar slowly regenerates on event maps past the first? If you're just hoping for the rare drops then that's fine, but if you're trying to clear it then I'm afraid you're in for a nasty surprise ;_;

>>11298595
the minimum numbers for battleships are 400 fuel and 600 steel, carriers are 300 fuel, 400 steel, 300 bauxite. Some people say 350/30/400/350 instead but there's plenty of data of successful carriers at 300/30/400/300 (I know for sure I got my Hiryuu with that). Building battleships at that number almost always gives me at least a heavy cruiser, my carrier attempts sometimes give me light cruisers or destroyers (two destroyers today, fuck)

>>11298607
I had forgotten that the Nagato was one of the ships sunk in Operation Crossroads, I knew that was the fate of the Saratoga, Arkansas, and Prinz Eugen.

It's funny, I was a WWII buff as a kid but playing this has made me learn a lot of stuff about the navies that I didn't know (I was always more interested in the aircraft). Especially stuff about the effect of the Naval Defense treaties on ship designs. Like the Ryuujou had such a crappy design because they needed to make it light enough to not count as an aircraft carrier under the treaty. And the converted carriers (Akagi and Kaga, Lexington and Saratoga) were actually the biggest carriers either side had.

>>11299014
Ironically, I liked Shigure more due to the fact that she was sunk in my country's waters. Makes her part of local history (albeit one not anybody cared about, since the textbooks only mentioned Prince of Wales and Repulse due to their value and significance in naval history).

Okay, is this just some massive coincidence, or are compass results determined by your flagship?

I've always been using a heavy cruiser as flagship for the event and always went northeast. Then I switched to a battleship and went east twice. I changed back to a heavy cruiser once and it went northeast. Now I just went back to a battleship and it's east.

I love playing the game while listening to Girls&Panzer OST. I'd like to have some navy related military songs though. There will be a navy anime soon i think, i hope the OST is similar to GuP.
Sage for blogging.

>>11299014
I was a WWII buff too, but all I ever focused on was the war in Europe. In the Pacific I only ever really read up on the land-based island fighting, and never learned anything about the naval side besides the biggest battles. I think I'm going to start that around now.

On another note, I think I'm going to try and translate that whole video. It's more moving that it has any right to be.

>>11299051
We're still not sure all of it, but we can control some of compass by putting certain types of ships on ur fleet.
Like putting seaplane tenders(2nd or 3rd Chihaya/Chitose) always lead you to east in E2.

What event map are you on? Leader heavy/battleship tips is news for me.

>>11299394
Boy I'd sure love if there was some trick to getting transports in 2-2 (or at least something to NOT do that might be sending me at the boss). Trying to do transport daily/weekly and once again getting screwed. I ought to just forget about it and just grind 2-4 more, the rewards don't justify the amount of fuel and ammo I'm spending for half the xp.

Is there an official English equivalent of 深海棲艦, the enemy fleet you're fighting? Might need it for translations afterwards.

>>11299394
>Chihaya
wt... okay found it.

>>11299183
Imperial Japanese Navy and Army relationship was so bad. :P

>>11299014
Fortunately, I had a heads up on that and it was precisely the reason why I used up that many buckets. Or is there some sort of total HP bar I'm unaware of that's separate from the area HP bar?

Unfortunately for me, although I did plan on at least trying to clear the event but after reading about the fleets people had and how much resources they spent, including buckets, it'd be almost nigh impossible for me. I'd need to bring up some light cruisers and destroyers to mix and match with my main fleet and create a battle support fleet. I have a few ready but they're not enough and certainly not ones I'd like to use. Then I'd need to craft for some two to three star equipment for that entire force. All this while stacking up a surplus of resources. I think brute forcing my way through with my current fleet would put much more strain on my resources so I'd at least like to do the above stated. Like I said, nigh impossible, so I most likely will give up on the event and hope that I will be able to craft them through sheer luck in the future. Yamato really is cute though... even if she eats more than Akagi.

>>11299616
can't I get one of those kongou please ?
My Kirishima feels lonely - and it's a waste on nakkarin.

Wasn't a simple process, but you can buy DMM points and get docks.

Compared to any other mobage type game, their prices are pretty good. We don't have any bullshit like spending $40 for ten DD in the vain hopes of getting something decent.

>>11299616
Oh, I was confused, when you said "beat the boss" I thought you meant you went through all that just to beat the flagship just one time. NEVERMIND.

>>11299636
How. Tried those other net money methods, but they needed a bloody JP cellphone address.

Please.

>>11299666
DMM takes Bitcoin, which you can buy online. Purchase the DMM points using that.

I used Sutocorp, but if you can find a cheaper place by all means.
http://www.sutocorp.com/japanwebmoney/home

Not sure if I can give you a step by step guide on how to do it since I kinda stumbled my way through it.

Why is Haguro sexualized so badly?

Despite the way she was sunken being best described as a "gang bang".

>>11298471
Basically the game wants you to blindly enter resource and hope for the best.
The recipes we have now came from eleven autists who data all the combinations and determine that those are the most efficient combo. If you see the wiki, there's a section called ongoing recipe research.

>>11298585
Yea i know, still random enough that it rages me to get cruisers from battleship recipe.

>>11299688
If it's webmoney, ask those that play mobage/that idolmaster game. They're using those to pay i think.

Well, bollocks.

>>11299688
A shame that the free 500 pnts is only for credit cards.

I wish we could bulk scrap ships the way we can do it with equipments.

400/100/600/30 > 4h
400/200/500/700 > 2h20

Hope I'll wake up to a nice surprise.

>>11299713
Suto was the best choice for us for webmoney (before that it was japanesewebmoney, but the guy closed down), only problem is that they tend to run out of codes very often.

I wonder if you make a bunch of alt accounts be a more viable to try and get into the servers during the lottery?

How does the lottery work for the new server announcements? Do you just need to log in and refresh the game or what?

>>11299760
Don't you have the fire thingy item? I always have those, i rarely ran out of them.

Is it worth it to level another isuzu just for the equipment that she brought when she's upgraded?

>>11299928
The radar? Eh, if you want more accuracy, I guess.

>>11299937
Only the radar is good? How about the torpedo?

>>11299942
I have a bunch of those from failed depth charge craftings.

>>11299913
Guess before sleeping, there's no need to. thought since I'm the guy, I obviously didn't went to sleep yet - and I'll wait anyway, nothing to craft afterwards.

Just hope it's not a Kirishima / chiyoda, got those already.
Chiyoda's getting pretty powerful after kei-kuubo lv15 form, especially with some lucky rare planes craft. (20/60/10/110)

>>11299937
are radar actually useful ? do they have some special effciency against sub or something ?
thanks for the fap by the way.

and what is that depth charge everyone talk about ?

>>11299576
Oh, didn't know that. Guess my ships wouldn't be happy if they could hear my playlist then.

>>11299928
Pretty much.
Radar alone is very good, you can also sacrifice her to your favorite ship for gaining 5 anti-air.
Anti-air is one stat that hard to get.

Her damaged line is kind of lewd.

Aircraft carriers are crit magnets until you level them enough...

Trying to find Sendai to complete the Sendai class set is a pain in the ass.

>>11300042
got her with a 30/30/30/30 spamming

Finally got Akagi's quest.
Not going to do her. My buckets are just fine filled.

Any other changes I should make before I finalize and never touch it again, lest it become more of a mess than it already is?

>>11299183
Next season the show called "Arpeggio of blue steel" is navy related.

Instead of being completely anthropomorphic ship girls, there is a girl who is basically the ships brain that walks around normally on the ship and there are lots of cute ones who fight each other

The fights in the manga are also really well done so maybe the anime will be good

Heres a pic of the "Yamato" in that series, however I think shes the only character with a IJN related name

>>11300194
Yamato isn't the only one that is related to IJN, off the top of my head I know that Haruna and Kongou also are in it.

>>11300219
Ah I'm dumb, I read it a while back and haven't caught up or read much about it recently so I forgot.

>>11300194
Is there a story background for enemy forces?

>>11300248
Without getting too deep into it, one year there was a great war where a large fleet of ships arrived outta nowhere called "the fleet of fog" or something, and the humans didn't really have the technology to deal with them because their ships had some really advanced tech, the manga begins quite a bit afterwards so the seas are just kind of un-traveled anymore because the fleet of fog will shoot down any human controlled ships.

>>11300262
This is intriguing, thanks.

Heh, female admirals.

>>11299950
Isn't her torp a 2 star? better than the others.

>>11299969
Ok thanks, her upgraded as fodder looks good.

Plastic kits shop in Akihabara.

Warning : Before you complete got Akagi's quest, please make sure that there is room.

The lower Fubuki box, that's Miyuki pic.

Reminds me that I need to get Shiratsuyu.

If my ships are moody does it have any effect on their combat capabilities? If so how do I make them happy again?

>>11300921
bigger chance of getting sinked. Just don't attack for a while until the fatigue is gone.

>>11300505
>>11300720

This game is perfect for building plamo. Repairing while working on a 1:600 Yamato that I've had sitting in my closet for a year.

>>11300929
Eh, I'm not gonna quite go out of my way and get a ship plamo due to this game though. My backlog of tanks (this was before GuP) and three F-14 Tomcats are bad enough for me.

My first sunken ship, Nachi.
