Damn, you guys know how to pack a thread.

>>11379895
it's rare to see /jp/ get aroused like this, anyway

Is there a point in having fighters besides just shooting down enemy aircrafts? Does my carrier still do bombing run despite not having "air superiority"? Should I be stacking one or two type of planes, or have one of everything?

Kitakami thy Lord does not approve torp!Shimakaze.

>>11379895
Didn't reach image limit and only 600 posts... don't know why they keep asking for a new thread

>>11379930
Probably because it was on page 10.

>>11379930
perhaps some anons found it too cluttered.
personal preferences, really. I just had to cater to them.

>>11379907
I think fighters are important if you meet enemy carriers. Currently my farming spot has no possible enemy carrier, so I throw away fighters for bombers. They're doing great.

So I just upgraded my Fuso into Fuso Kai. Some of her guns have been swapped out for scout planes, should I leave them as is or replace them with more guns?

Also when you put multiple canons on a ship, does it actually fire them all or is it just a flat increase in firepower?

Nice. She dropped at 2-2's boss.

Stat wise is she better than Akagi?

>>11379935
What color was what again?

>>11379942
Maybe, she consumes more resources than Akagi, I know that for sure.

>>11379941
Green = fighter
Blue = torpedo bomber
Red = dive bomber
>>11379942
She could carry more planes than Akagi, so yeah.

>>11379941
Greens are fighters.
Blues are torpedo bombers.
Reds are bombers.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

>>11379940
I don't remember if the get zuiun when they remodel. If not then give them one instead of the scout plane they have.
>Also when you put multiple canons on a ship, does it actually fire them all or is it just a flat increase in firepower?
To my understanding you can fire with 3 weapons max (cut-in attack during night battle can use a max of 3 weapons combination).
If you add a 4th in the last slot it won't fire but you still get the stats boost (but imho it's redundant and it looks like shit).

I finally got in!! ^^

>>11379974
Congratulations.

>>11379932
It's on page 6

>>11379974
Congrats
No need to post lika a fag though

Do some ships just always get hit ridiculously hard?

I didn't notice it at first

>>11379974
Congrats. I'm still stock on the cat screen so I don't think o made it this run ;_;

>>11379990
If it is this, perhaps you will have better luck tomorrow.

>>11379974
can't wait!~

>>11379991
I got that yesterday, then I got the other version of (the cat hitting my head).

...and now it's still loading.

stop, please stop doing that.

Is 2-4-1 the best spot for grinding (without having unlocked world 3 yet)? I've heard 2-2 give the best drops (due to easy access to the boss), but 180exp per ship (not including MVP/flagship bonus) isn't very financially viable.

>>11379998
yeah, several times already. still stuck on this screen.

>>11379974
>>11379995
H-here I go!

Ok so after 1-1, does it always send you to the bottom?

I've tried like 20 times and I never go the top route.

>>11380021
Compass is and will always be your final boss.

>>11380021
It's pure luck. Though try putting someone with higher luck stat as flagship, it may or may not help a bit.

I think I just got in on a spare account. If anyone wants it, email's in the email field.
Just send me a message and I'll give you the details. You should be able to change everything linked to the DMM account if you don't like any of it.

>>11380021
Change flagships

>>11379907
Taking the air superiority, air strike success rate of friend goes up.
At the same time, the success rate of the air attack of the enemy will lower.
When you load a large number of carrier-based fighter, damage friend attack squad decreases.
That, consumption of bauxite decreases.

>>11379974
>>11379992
>>11380020
I could die now.

>>11380029
>>11380023
Yeah, changing my flagship to one with lower luck did the trick.

>>11380043
It took you 14 minutes to load?

2-1 sure is leaving me with a lot of repairs

How to identify the model.
Chinese characters at the bottom right of the unit.

>>11380062
Guess where people posting in this thread come from?

>>11380058
Yeah, me too.

Has anyone tried 400/800/800/50?

Giving me the same one hour time as my last two attempts at building.

I'm assuming that it's not a Battleship because of the short time?

>>11380062
I don't get it. You can replace xxxxxxx with anything you want.

>>11380062
What? You think this is two weeks ago?

Welcome your new posters

>>11380066
That's not the battleship recipe. Try 400/30/600/30.

>>11380066
That's right, 1 hour build times are I think typical of heavy cruisers. Typically you won't need to increase bauxite when building ships unless you want carriers, which require a lot.

>>11380075
oh. right. why didn't I do that? ;_;

>>11380065
I don't think you need to keep the proxy on once when you get in.

>>11380065
>still using proxy

pic related.

>>11380066
Battleships are at least 4 hours. And that's the more expensive version of the more popular recipe.

>>11380079
o-ok, admiral.

>>11380068
Shit.

Alright thanks. I'll try that next time.

>>11380066
That just sounds like a insane way to use your resources

I got Hinata off (400 / 30 / 600 / 30) and hiei off (420 / 420 / 600 / 90) myself

If I can craft a carrier I'll probably stop crafting for a while

>>11380086
Just to make sure, you should know that the ordering is Fuel/Ammo/Steel/Bauxite.

Any good recipe for radar or engine?

>>11380031
No takers? I thought there were more hopefuls here.

Are equipments required for expedition / slave fleets? Thinking of stripping them off so I can equip my new DD fleet to level.

>>11380113
Thanks. Time to clearing those useless ammo dump.

>grinding 1-1 for mission daily
>suddenly ktkm

Well this is a nice surprise. How long does it take until she gets to raping enemy BB/CVs before the battle even begins?

>>11380117
She can equip midget subs at her level 10 remodel, but she doesn't come with them.

>>11380117
10 for the upgrade, 20 for her to actually hit things with it.

Why won't the BBs come to play? I have plenty of warm bed and hot foods...

That's strange, my dailies have appeared to reset even though I did them for today

>Level 10 Teitoku
>BB everywhere on Practice mode
am i missing something? looks like everyone has BB or CV while i'm stuck with a couple of CA, CL, and DD.

>>11380140
Lvl 22 here, still only 1 BB.

It's all luck.
Or they dropped some cash for more chances at the lottery.

Though speaking from personal experience, if you push yourself too hard and spend your resources at ship gambling you'd typically regret it. Try to keep at least 1000-1500 of each resource type (ESPECIALLY oil and steel).

I need some help with names for the wikia
Are these the proper names of the ships?
It is for this table
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Construction#Construction_Time

龍驤 - Ryūjō
飛鷹 - Hiyō
隼鷹 - Shun'yō
鳳翔 - Hō shō

Is there a specific recipe for Saiun, or do I stick with 20/60/10/110 and hope for the best?

And what factors affect the chances of successfully crafting equipment? Out of the 10 times I tried to craft something I only failed once (though 8 out of those 9 crafts were trash which was a waste of development material)

>>11380140
People are just getting lucky, I suppose.

I have two BBs at level 10, but its too exhausting on my resources to use both

Right now, my fleet is BB, 3 CA, and 2 DD

I'm guessing people are only leaving the battleships up for practice mode or something

>>11380155
Use your highest level carrier as your secretary. Stick with that recipe. If you failed for another 5 tries, try again after you gained more admiral levels and cleared more maps. What's your T-lvl and next map to unlock?

>>11380148
>>11380161
thanks

>>11380153
隼鷹 - Jun'yō

everything else is correct according to wikipedia

>>11380153
Sounds about right.

>>11380155
Your admiral level and your secretary ship.

>>11380155
Try 70/90/60/110. My first Saiun came from that. And I think flagship is important, use carrier.

13 tries with 100/300/250/10. Got one minisub, one 46cm, and some AAs for my ship. Quite bad results, but at least I could give something to KTKM-sama.

>>11380185
Pretty wasteful for that minisub considering you can get a couple for free just by remodeling Chitose/Chiyoda

>>11380140
Don't fret about it. I stopped building ships when I realized that farming for them is way more fun. I got an entire collection of Kongous and Yamashiros from map 2-2. My resources are in the twenty thousands because I don't do shit with them.

>>11380188
I actually have Chitose at Lv. 28, but I'd wait for her Lv. 50 remodel. But yeah, that was awful. No radar/engine ;_;

>>11380167
>>11380176
After 5 more tries each of both recipes, still no Saiun. Well at least all of Akagi's planes are brand new right now.

>>11380192
Well why not remodel her? Mine has been remodeled ever since and she's on her 2nd to the last CVL form. She's a good CVL at early stages since I can't get any CVLs from drops/crafts and she's still with the 1st fleet because my other CVLs are low levelled.
>>11380194
How are you getting those planes? I've been shitting out Zeroes, Tenzans, Comets and hell even the starter planes using the same recioe as >>11380176
My Akagi is at 41 and admiral level 24.

>>11380203
>Well why not remodel her
I heard her stat as seaplane carrier in Lv. 50 remodel is superior. And I already have Junyou for my CVL.

>>11380207
She's still a seaplane at 2nd remodel lvl10 then lvl12. 2nd remodel will give you 2 minisubs.

>>11380207
So in terms of utility which will be better? A level 50 seaplane or a level 50 CVL? If I can remember correctly, reason why some keep her as a seaplane carrier is that it's needed for an expedition requiring a high level carrier while others have said a CVL will do.
I have an extra Chiyoda anyway and level 3 Chitose so I'll just have to see.

>>11380203
Maybe it's just placebo but I did this while Akagi was still sparkling, that or admiral level plays a much larger role in getting rare planes.

I still want a Saiun so I can finish 2-4 already ;_;

>>11380211
I think the requirement is the ability to carry seaplanes.
From what I read, either one has their own advantage. But light carriers are a dime a dozen while there are only two seaplane carriers that gives you an extra torpedo attack in the beginning.

>>11380213
No need for one seriously. If your fleet is good enough it's more about luck.

>>11380211
None of the expeditions that require a carrier specifically need a seaplane tender.

>>11380110
Alright, spot filled. Good luck next time, everyone.

>>11380214
>>11380216
Well then guess I'll just turn Chitose as a CVL as well. And while I still don't have a Kaga Chiyoda will do for the main fleet. Or maybe just leave her there since she's quite useful.

My quest to resupply 15 ships is broken. I've resupplied a lot more than 15 and I've had that quest activated the whole time.

>>11380210
Huh, interesting. I guess I'll keep Chitose as seaplane and her sister as CVL.

>>11380225
Not resupply 15 ships, but resupply 15 times.

>>11380225
You're understanding of the quest is wrong.
You have to resupply 15 times, meaning you click on the button 15 times, instead of resupplying 15 ships.

It's pretty easy to do though, since you could just choose one ship and separate the resupply between ammo and fuel, and it would still count as one of each.

>>11380225
Resupply each ship separately eg; resupply a ship's ammo first then fuel. Rinse and repeat for the rest and you will have resupplied a total of 12 times for each fleet.

>>11380225
Selecting all your ships and resupplying them all at once counts at 1 resupply.

>>11380216
Not a strict requirement but an option.
There is one. In expedition 20.
暫定 潜(Lv11),軽巡(Lv35),駆逐*2(Lv22,Lv22),水母(Lv13,Lv14)
The recommended non-seaplane tender setup is
潜(Lv7),軽巡*3(Lv25,Lv20,Lv22),駆逐*2(Lv44,Lv43)

If they launch a future event/quest that requires at least one high level seaplane tender and we don't have one, we won't be prepared for it.

I just got a seaplane carrier. I'm only just starting to go at 1-4, so should I try to roll for some attack seaplanes or just stick with my light cruisers?

>>11380239
That's why I'll keep my extra Chiyoda as she is. So if a seaplane carrier is needed I have one on the docks

Is there any popularity rank for starter ship? I want to know if my first ship daughter Samidare is popular or not.

>>11380245
>Samidare
Good taste teitoku.

>>11380238
Oh, ok.

Thanks for the replies, I'll keep that in mind.

>>11380245
She's cute, and has a cute voice. I picked her too, and she's now leading her own loliship fleet on expeditions.

>>11380245
She isn't but she's still a good girl

>>11380245
Inazuma >>> Murakumo > Samidare = Sazanami >>>>> Fubuki

>>11380245
Inazuma is the most popular starter, followed by Murakumo.

>>11380258
>>11380259
Huh, okay. Thanks.

>>11380245
I melted when she went YATTA~ after getting MVP on a fight, so definitely a good choice.

>>11380245
pair her with her tomboy twin Suzukaze.

>>11380239
Those aren't recommended set-ups, but successful ones. The only thing you need is a sub of any level as the flagship and a CL.

http://wikiwiki.jp/kancolle/?%B1%F3%C0%AC

>If they launch a future event/quest that requires at least one high level seaplane tender and we don't have one, we won't be prepared for it.

If they released a better tender that doesn't change class I may consider grinding one that high. As it is making a high level tender as a requirement would be dumb.

Protagonist of official, Fubuki ...

All starters are good girls.
Except Sazanami and all her sisters.

>>11380267
Unfortunately, I didn't make it in the last event to get a sub. I'm all for upgrading the Chitose-class because I have one purpose.

>>11380267
I kinda wish Chitose and Chiyoda had the option to retain their old class for the 35/50 remodel. It would've been fun to have four hyper torpedo sisters.

>>11380274
After having spent sufficient time playing the game, seeing my girls in tattered clothes bring on more panic/terror than arousal.

Especially if it's Akagi, but it's terror for an entirely different reason.

>>11380274
Soon...

>>11380284

BAAAAANING RAAAABU

I like the idea that Kongou talks normally when she's exahusted.

>>11380284
I have to agree, you really start seeing them as your daughters

4 hour build time.

Looks like it's Kongo time.

>>11380278
And they all shoot at the same target and waste their usefulness...

>>11380312
Kongou is 4 hour 10 min, it's probably the unlucky sisters.

Nevertheless, gratz.

>>11380311
I just recently lost one of my ships, never again

What a god awful feeling

>finally get my 2nd BB
>it's another Fuso

GODDAMNIT

>>11380324
Stay strong, Teitoku.
You'll rescue her back soon.

>>11380319
Really? Even the Jap wiki says Kongo is 4 hours.

>>11380324
Today I almost lost my prized Shimakaze on a routine grinding sortie because I was overconfident in her evasion and absent minded in checking their condition. It's refreshing actually, that sense of mortality gets you even more attached. Figuring out the system and thinking I was safe just made things boring. I miss when I was a cautious rookie teitoku who rushed his ships to their death like it was Xcom.

>>11380331
Yeah, 4h10m is for Souryuu and Hiryuu.

I just got Ryujo and Junyo off 2-1 are either worth using if I have no CVL

>>11380438
If you have no CVL then both are worth using.

You'd be able to get Akagi for free once you put them in your fleet anyway.

I just got a seaplane carrier. I'm level 7, only just starting to go at 1-4, so should I try to roll for some attack seaplanes or just stick with my light cruisers?

>>11380438
If you're tired of Akagi siphoning your resources like no tomorrow, then by all means.

>>11380451
Just use the starting seaplanes they come with.

>>11380451
I think you can use it until more firepower come from battleships or heavy cruiser.

>>11380451
Until you're around 20 don't even bother with crafting unless it's for dailies. Even then, just go for 10/10/10/40 for some cheap shit, your building supplies/resources will be better spent else where.

So, how do I do quest B11?
I've put in Chiyoukai, Furutaka, Aoba, Kako, and Tenryuu, but it seems like I need something more than just them.

>>11380263
Heartcatch Kancolle.

The janitor is a piece of shit fucking loser.

He's delusional. No one in real life, or online, can stand his autistic bullshit. No one likes it. Do you hear that janitor? Everyone fucking hates you, it is not a select few people, it is the majority of this board. There is a huge problem with that and guess whose fault is? It's yours you fucking dipshit, stop blaming everyone else.

The mods even hate you. You think they like dealing with your 70 stupid ass ban requests everyday? No, they don't. Why don't you just fucking leave already.

>>11380800
Danmaku is, afterall, about (fire)power, da ze!

>>11380749
Just tried that 10 times.
No Saiun ;_;

>>11380738
Is that the name of a ship?
If so, what type?

>>11380832
This game works in mysterious ways.

>>11380833
CA. She's dropped by 1-3 and 1-4 boss.

I tried to complete 2-4 for the first time and made it to the end with light/medium damage despite having to fight in every stage. I barely scratched the boss while most of my team got sent into the red. Is it supposed to be this bullshit?

>>11380845
I didn't clear 2-4 until I have 4 battleships and 2 carriers in level 35+, deal with it.

>>11380845
Welcome to hell

>>11380845
2-4 is real tutorial.

>>11380845
2-4 is best map

>>11380847
Except my 4 BBs were over 41, CV 44. The only weak point is my CVL at 34 because my other CVs are on an expedition.

You just wait.

>>11380845
The boss fleet have really high stat. (The BB have 85 atk 85 def IIRC)

>>11380450
why does Akagi syphon resources so bad?

>>11380859
You must have had bad luck when facing bosses. I made it through 2-4 with worse ships just fine.

Pray to the RNG god.

>>11380859
I suspect you ended up on the wrong side of the T when you faced the boss.

>>11380866
Because she is the first aircraft carrier most players get, and thus her overwhelming firepower at that point will level her up quickly, increasing the amount of resources needed.

>>11380866
She's not the worst, she's just notorious for it because she's the first carrier most people get.

>>11380889
No, I made sure to prepare against that with a Saiun in the last slot on my CV. It wasn't shot down either.

>>11380898
How do you get her? A quest right?

If you fight too much on the way to the final stage, won't your battleships be out of ammo, and your carriers out of planes? Would that affect anything?

>>11380907
Yes. You have to defeat an enemy carrier. I think they start appearing on 1-4.

The quest also completes by putting any carrier in your fleet, but you wont get Akagi as a reward this way.

>>11380845
if you had 5 battles on the way to the boss, than your kanmusu ran out of fuel and ammo.

>>11380911
You can't go into night battle before the boss. If you take the NW path, you don't even get to do night battle with the boss unless you want to fail since you end up with just 2 bars of fuel/ammo before boss battle.

>>11380838
Oh, thanks. So it's got to be the "new" version of that fleet and not the basic one I completed for that other quest.
That's annoying, guess it's back to grinding.

>>11380838
Wait, she drops off those maps? I thought she's an event character or some shit.

So, I just decided to not do any sortie or expedition. In my mind, I imagine it like giving a 'day-off' to my ship daughters and them enjoying it. How much of a faggot am I?

>>11380950
Hope they are not paid by the hours.

>>11380950
You're a huge faggot for asking if you're a huge faggot, but playing pretend with the girls is half the reason anybody plays this game.

>>11380950
A fabulous one.
They have a dayoff whenever everyone needs repair time like every three days.

I'd pay for a Live2D phone app of one of the girls fidgeting around and telling the time like they already kind of do.

>>11380958
Me on the right.

>>11380923
No. You only get Akagi if you complete the quest with a carrier on your fleet.
If you don't have a carrier you don't get Akagi.

>>11380962
I really wish they would update the voice packs so that every ship does it too. But I figure it could be expensive for the devs. By the way, who are the devs call?

>>11380965
A light carrier is enough, though. I don't know if seaplane is.

>>11380965
Light carriers work too, so Akagi is the first normal carrier most people get.

>>11380966
Pretty sure they don't.
I might have tried but I don't remember.

>>11380965
I had no idea. I got Chiyoda really early in the game so she's a regular on the team but I had no idea I needed a carrier to get Akagi... imagine if I hadn't had her around. The horror.

Does 4-3 also ask for a certain type of fleet to reach the boss? Or is the compass just being an ass with me?

>>11380973
A bit of a both, I suppose. Each map apparently has different criteria to reach the boss, fleet composition, flagship, level of ships, etc.

I have a question, does the carrier's level affect the damage her planes do or are levels just for the ship's stats?

And will my training partners see the name of the fleet I'm using when they try to fight against me? (Can't check myself since I've fought all 5 people already)

>>11380994
I think they'll only see your comment that you set on the Admiral status page, but I've yet to see anyone else with an actual message.

>>11380994
No fleet name, only admiral comment.

What the hell am I supposed to do here?
Is this some kind of joke?
It's impossible to survive this.

>>11381008
I saw someone clear the level with a fleet around level 27, with turbines on everyone.

>>11381008
Evasion formation and luck.

You don't have to win the battles along the way, so don't risk night battle if you might take damage.

>>11381008
get Shimakaze and Yukikaze.

>>11381008
train 2 or 4 destroyer to Lv40, give them evasion gear and use evasive formation before boss fight

And get your Yukikaze and Shimakaze ASAP, 250/30/200/30 to build

>>11381008
Your fleet is a joke. Get some cruisers in there, damn.

Formation 2 and 4 are evasive according to wikiwiki, but formation 5 is evasive according to atwiki. What gives?

>>11381022
You are very stupid.

>>11381025
Might just be my personal experience, but I've always had more success with evasion with the last formation. The defense one gets me damaged more. Though when they do hit me, it's usually a crit.

Formation 2 and 4 are evasive according to wikiwiki, but formation 5 is evasive according to atwiki. What gives?

>>11381025
5 actually lowers your evasion, accuracy, and firepower inexchange for higher armor and anti-sub.

Insufficient firepower to penetrate armor (zero damage) is registered as a miss, right? I've had high-level cruisers with +4 aim on them fail to hit enemy battleships entirely, and that can't just be a regular miss.

>>11381021
What's the recipe for evasion gear?

>>11381096
I got tons of turbines from 46cm recipe 100/300/250/10, very expensive indeed, don't know is that a cheaper recipe to make them

>>11380994
You will be able to see your training partner's name after the maneuver.

>>11381008
Just be glad you didn't get the one with the two Elite BBs. Look at it this way, the boss is a joke compared to that.

>>11381008
My fleet when I beat it. All have standard destroyer gear. Except Samidare and Suzukaze has one turbine each. I went with formation 5 all the way. Took me me around 7 tries.

I should be able to perfect 2-3 if I want a shot at the 2-4 boss, right? Or is that aiming way too low?

>>11380994
You will be able to see your training partner's fleet name after the maneuver. The latter should also apply when someone is facing you.

>>11381008
Just be glad you didn't get the one with the two Elite BBs. Look at it this way, the boss is a joke compared to that.

Tenryu scares me

I just had a fight in which my level four flagship destroyer with no guns on it dealt more damage to enemy ships than a level twenty-two aviation battleship in daylight combat.

Granted, it was nine to seven but still. What's this world coming to.

>>11381181
I hope you can't read that.

Deleted my post twice due to errors. I guess I need sleep. Let's try this again...

>>11381192
from my experience, destroyer have improved reliability after maintenance a few days ago. they have more chance in killing enemy in day battle.

>>11381181
Shiranui is the truly scary one. Especially the very first time I got her damaged, holy fuck.

>>11381192
not the guy, but :

>>11381230
Too rude, I fed her to one of my ships.

>>11380994
>>11381217
Apologies. Let me make a correction. You can also see it on top of the fleet as well.

>:(
it keeps happening a lot, too often for my preference.

>>11381270
Take breaks, you slave driver.

I wish to experience the depths of her burning love.

>>11380994

Apologies. Let me make a correction. You can also see it on top of the fleet as well.

>>11381270
Take it easy

>>11381230
I can't remember what her sinking
script is, but I think it was pretty scary. Asashio's line is also quite painful.

so, some people prefer to bring BB, sub or torpedo sisters to practice and avoid CV/L to save up bauxite.
I just took a 72 紫電改二 and 10 zaiun akagi to 4 practice against 2, 3, 4, 4 CV/L composed fleet.

Paid around 70 bauxite alltogether and wiped the enemy planes - I never took significant damages from them.

so yeah, I advise that.

>>11381333
Thanks but no thanks. I'd rather pay no bauxite at all.

Is this gaem translated to english?

>>11381358
Parts of it have been translated by people as text, but 99% of it isn't.

>>11381358
No it is a japanese browser game

>>11381362
>>11381364
I`m out of luck then... Thanks guys.

>>11381358
What's with the obsession of wanting English

1-2 days of playing you already pretty much know everything, the only thing left would be some flavor/historic text in the the collection data tab

>>11381369
S-so. There is not much shit to read? Its all about gameplay? Ill give it a try then, thank you!

>>11381376
It's a browser game not a VN

>>11381369
Don't forget about all the dialogue, and the descriptions of pretty much everything of interest.

If all you want to do is look at pictures and dispatch ships, then sure.

>>11381376
Then good luck to the lottery that will start at... eh... 12 hours later

>>11381369
Some people just can't comprehend even approaching another language and ready to defend this position, which starts to look more silly with more years in waiting.

6:00:00キタ！

>>11381477
Soon.

>>11380749
Tried this 10 times. Kaga flag
- 2 saiun
- 1 New Shiden
- 2 ryuusei

>>11381477
grats.
I'm dying for Nagato / mutsu and shoukaku / zuikaku, but all my tries end up in failures.

Meh, at least I got shimakaze and yukikaze from the dailies over the two past days. time to go for 3-2.

>>11381477
<3
oh yeah, recipe was 300/30/600/400

Also gave 50/60/30/120 a go for my dailies with a level 1 Akagi and got Ryuusei Kai, Rei shiki floatplane, and a Suisei, which confirms that you need high HQ level and the right type of secretary, but the secretary's level does not matter.

>>11381500
がんばって！
I still need Mutsu, Zuikaku and Hiryuu for my capital ship collection.

Just got my 9th 2:40 build, 9th Shouhou.

I'm starting to think the wiki must be full of shit that people have even successfully built Zuihou; if it's possible then she must be at least as rare as Shimakaze and Yukikaze. wikiwiki actually didn't even have her listed as a possible build when I started playing, only a couple entries were added weeks later. And it seems like everyone here with her has gotten her via drop.

>>11381270
I just had all 6 ships with a red face a moment ago. Thought it would be simple to complete the 15 submarine weekly by running 4-2 with a 5 CL + 1 BB fleet and refreshing if it sends me NW. Well, 8 attempts later I've gotten subs once (and it was a mixed formation that I never get when running it with my main fleet) and had to refresh 7 times.

>>11381511
damn, 1:22:00 as well!

>>11381514
I've built her thrice and Shouhou about 9 times. Good luck!

>>11381514
I just got my third Zuihou doing me daily 350/30/400/350 for Zuikaku, you can definitely build her, don't worry.

>>11381514
Your best shot was probably the E-1 boss.

For someone with high luck, she sure gets critted a lot. Even gave her an evasion item...

>>11381514
don't give up
blue background = built
http://puu.sh/4j6b9.ogg.asa.janai.no

Melon-chan~

I didn't expect this

Is there a trick with 3-3 compass before the boss? I got sent to the red money box for the 7th consecutive time already.

>>11381539
check the nipwiki, but I think it was at least 2 CV in fleet to be able to get to the boss.

>>11381533
Congratulation !

>>11381511
Having finally gotten Kinu instead of Abukuma from a 1:15 build, the only non-event ships I'm missing now are Zuihou, Zuikaku, Nagato, Yukikaze, and Maikaze. (Actually I've never even seen a Maikaze used by someone else, is she from an old event or something?)

I just love how you start getting multiple copies of ships after waiting a month to get any; I just got 2 Shoukakus and 3 Tones in two days. Not to mention endless Hiei drops after she was the last Kongou I needed.

>>11381520
E-1 boss was obnoxious as fuck to fight though, I tried E-2 instead since I also needed I-58 (although the wiki didn't list Zuihou there, but there might not have been enough data collected). Now it's 4-2 attempts instead; too bad my last 5 or 6 drops there were all light or heavy cruisers (I was ready to scream when I got a fucking Tama from the boss, I get her more than Naka-chan)

>>11381547
That's for the first fork I thought. I never went the wrong way on that one.

Starting to hoard too many duplicate ships but I don't want to sacrifice them, especially the extra Kongou orz
I guess I can't hold those capital ships ;___;

>>11381602
I'm still keeping every single type of DDs/CLs I found. Sooner or later I have to remove them from my list, since I can't spend money for extra slots ;_;

Game starts falling down post 2-4. Nothing to do.

>>11381638
Do you already have Hatsukaze?

>>11381638
You mean you don't like just collecting more shipdaughters and bigger guns?!?

Musashi event's coming soon in any case.

>>11381533
Today is just my day

>>11381655
You lucky sod. Grats!

>>11381638
For me, yeah, the tension is a lot lowered pre-2-4, but I'm still curious about Lv. 50 Chitose/Chiyoda and Hyper KTKM. Not to mention I still haven't completed my archery club and Kongou Tea Time Club.

>>11381638
same here.
I wish there was some more maps, like at least a third one and a maybe a 4th.
Or perhaps some sort of stuff to collect.. I don't know what the devs were thinking about.

>>11381664
a lot lowered *compared to* pre-2-4

>>11381649
Not interested, to be honest.
>>11381651
Already got most of daughterus i was interested in, i just want Mutsu but i don't feel like getting her just o let her at lvl 1, and i can't bring myself to level up destroyers to beat 3-2. I'll just do expeditions and lurk pixiv until next event comes.

>>11381651
IIRC someone mentioned around this October, right?
>>11381666
In last maintenance, they mentioned about new map late this month.

>>11381680
> October
I wonder where that was mentioned. I, personally, wasn't expecting another one for about 3 months. I mean, having just one data point ( May -> August) isn't much, but doing events every 3 months seems like a reasonable pacing to me.

As for the new map, I hope I don't have to clear 3-4 and 4-4 to check it out...

Ugh... I'm level 40 now
Still no Kongou

>>11381700
Isn't it sad

>>11381700
do you craft BB and sortie a lot ?
41 here and I got at least 4 time each (around 20 kirishima too)

>>11381689
So far the event is seasonal, right? Not to mention it's convenient with Musashi's launching date, and I think they'll also do it along with Kancolle x Arpeggio collab.

They've just opened a lot of servers, I think the next event will be around when those new faces get into intermediate level-ish.

>>11381700
Have you not gotten to 3-2 yet? It's a better idea to spend less on crafting ships and use those resources to level up and upgrade your current kanmusu.

>>11381706
> launching date
November 1st, but starting it earlier for Kancolle x Arpeggio collab thing works as well, I guess.

Finally beat 2-4. It was a bit anti-climatic. Though I guess Hyuuga and Kaga taking heavy damage during the final battle was a little scary. (I used buckets before taking screenshots.)

Guess it's time for tea.

>>11381722
I spent about 4-5 days farming 2-2 boss while crafting the BB recipe after that I gave up and moved on to 2-4.
DAT COMPASS, but I finally came through today.

I'm on 3-1 atm

>>11381762
Congrats, anon.

>>11381786
You're almost there! 3-1 is much easier than 2-4, and Kongou sisters drop very often in 3-2-1.

So /jp/, how big is your Shimakaze folder so far? I just started mine and it's only 535 right now. There's a staggering 4k+ images on pixiv and increasing every day.

>>11381813
There are like, thirty pictures of my favorite girl, and she's getting fucked in twenty of them. I have two group shots of her right now.

>>11381830
That reminds me I have to look for new fap images

How do you show your admiral love to your shipfu? I have 7 Atagos and i don't kankankan neither feed them to anyone, i just have them. Of course my first fleet flag is a lvl 55 Atago.

>>11381847
My first remodel was reserved for my first ship daughteru.

>>11381792
Thanks.

>>11381847
I invite her to tea parties every day.

>>11381847
She is my wallpaper and my flagship on every sortie

Well my first BB at level 6 is Haruna. Am I still too low level to start getting Battleships and using them for the campaign?

>>11382069
The early maps are easily done with heavy cruisers and a carrier or two. I'd save her until you unlock expeditions and can go for resources.

>>11382069
I got my first BB at around lvl 20

>>11382072
Alright. Sounds cool.

>>11382073
Why did it take so long?

I just saved up some resources, got a good temp and built it. I've yet to fail at building ships. I've built a few heavy cruisers, some destroyers, a couple of light cruisers, and now my first Battleship.

>>11382069
Nope, use her. No sense in having your strongest ship to lounge away in reserve.

>>11382081
I think I did about 10 BB recipes and only got heavy cruisers.

It wasn't until I beat 2-2 or something I got my first BB.

>Get disconnected
>Everyone fatigued

God damn it

>>11382103
Sorry to hear that.

I got disconnected, too. But at least my ships didn't get fatigued.

>>11382081
> I've yet to fail at building ships
It's not possible to fail shipbuilding. Equipment development on the other hand, ugh.

>>11382109
I see.

Anyone got a good recipe to try for Nagato/Fuso or a carrier? I still don't have a carrier.

>>11382109
110 110 300 250 - 25mm AA
100 100 300 250 - 12.7mm AA
100 300 250 250 - 12.7mm AA
100 300 250 250 - 12.7mm AA
100 300 250 250 - 12.7mm AA
100 300 250 10 - 10cm high angle

I called that last one a victory and went home.

>>11382123
350/30/400/350 and 300/30/600/400 for carriers. Check out the Japanese wiki and they have most of the better recipes listed.
Nagato uses standard 400/30/600/30 recipe. Dunno about Fusou, but I wouldn't bother specifically going for the sisters as they drop frequently enough in area 2 and area 3.

>>11382124
You need to sacrifice a virgin kanmusu to the RNG gods. I'm sorry, that was terrible.

How long does red fatigue usually last?

It was about 30+ minutes last time, any one have a exact number?

I guess I could always switch them out

>>11382130
They won't recover from fatigue unless you take them out.

>>11382130
Max fatigue takes 40 mins to clear up, I think. There was a post last thread explaining the mechanics, and while there was no mention of how long it can take, if you've waited over 30 minutes before, 40 seems like a good guess as I'm pretty sure I've seen that figure mentioned elsewhere.

>>11382134
plz play moar

>>11382128
I just did another 400/30/600/30 recipe, and it looks like I'm getting Myoko according to the wiki.

Oh well. But now I have 0 steel and a bunch of ships to repair.

I thought they fixed the aiming against submarines? I decided to level up a bit my 168 and everyfucking bastard fired her, i almost died from a heart attack when she survived two shots with 1 hp.

>>11382291
focus on getting the three Sendai sisters (just roll all 30) to unlock the third fleet and use expedition. Don't use all resources on shipbuilding or you'll just be sitting around in teitoku room all day.

>>11382316
The thing about submarines is, if a ship can attack it, that's all they'll aim for.

>>11382316
no, no one ever said the targeting was going to get changed. In fact, subs get damaged more easily now. You should be thanking the RNG gods that she's still alive.

>>11382322
>>11382320
Fucking hell, i guess i'm just going to level her at practices, at least for now.

>>11382324
Just set her as flagship if you're going to focus on her anyways. She'll never sink and your other ships won't take any damage provided you do enough during the day to prevent torpedo retaliation.

Good for destroyer leveling in 3-2.

I'm a level 15 commander and I tried some pvp... what the flying fuck, why does people the same level as me have level 40 ships?! My girls at level 20 at best. How do they get that many levels on their ships and still stay level 15 commander?

>>11382331
They spent money on infinite resources, and/or only do practice battles which usually gives tons of experience.

CX, CCC, CCD, X - 10cm high angle

At this point, a smarter admiral would have cut his losses.

Note to self: do not perform this recipe with aviation battleships. I'm sorry, girls. Days of expeditions were fruitlessly expended today. I'll try and make it up to you sometime.

>>11382392
What's your HQ level?

>>11382395
35. I got a two-star turbine out of it when I had pure battleship Fusou as secretary, but I upgraded her earlier today.

>>11382398
Ah, I've never tried the recipe with Fusou or Ise.

Damn elites always causing trouble

>>11382392

I don't think I've ever been successful using that recipe. I only have two high level battleships and they're both aviation.

I really hope that's not why I'm failing.

So I'm doing 3-4 and the compass takes me directly where I didn't want to go right before the boss. At H. Gave me nightmares of taking on the 2-4 boss again. I guess I should be glad I got off easy with only Zuikaku and Hiei going down to half HP but it was enough for the boss to take advantage of and I managed to fail just barely because everyone but Haruna got hit to critical levels before the night battle. Needless to say I went one more time and the compass took me exactly where I wanted to go. Promptly took down the boss and all I got from the boss was a... Yamashiro. 不幸だわ。。。

>>11382462
That might be the case. I was getting all sorts of crap before I remodeled - not always useful, like 25mm AA and twin 15.5cm - but I never got a string of failures. I should have quit after the third failure but the devil's curiosity got the better of me.

I don't have any unremodeled battleships to do the recipe with anymore.

>>11382478
Or, for that matter, ammunition.

Yeah I just lost my first ship on the 1-4 boss.

I was having an easy time right up to the boss then the carriers just nailed one of my light cruisers and it died. I am very sad.

Also, I keep failing the 5th expedition for whatever reason. I've tried multiple setups with different ships but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

>>11382530
Just check the guide

I just cleared 5 with 1 CL and 3 DDs

>>11382530
1 CL lv.8, 3 DD lv.6

>>11382534
Yeah, I can confirm it that as well
And if it's of any consolation I lost 2 light cruiser because of that boss... I even got myself a fucking Kongo and a Hosho but still nothing... I'll try again in one hour but I feel so noobish.

RIP Bismarck

1-4 is a bitch without air superiority. I brought a level thirty destroyer at armor cap and it still got bombed near death because I didn't bring any fighters.

A second Shimakaze, misplaced good luck.

>>11382560
I just got my fourth. Twice in a row from 3-4.

>>11382546
Level 30 destroyer at armor cap is still wear armor made of paper. Just... higher quality paper.

Make sure to put single ship during practice match team update (0300 and 1500 JST) to help other fellow admirals finishing their daily mission and/or getting sparkles for expedition.

>>11382540
>>11382506
When in doubt, use defensive formation.

And never push your girls if they've been minor injured, unless you're prepared to sacrifice them for a greater cause.

Make sure to put single ship before practice match team update (0300 and 1500 JST) to help other fellow admirals finishing their daily mission and/or getting sparkles for expedition.

>>11382635
Ikazuchi so cute.

Alright, today is the day, I can feel it...

If the guy typesetting the 4koma is still around, I made a mistake and it should be "Shirayuki". Sorry about that.

...Someone please proofread it.

http://pastebin.com/34vUZVLP

>>11382661
YES! YES! FINALLY!

>>11382668
Inb4Hiei. Nah I love her as well.

>>11382645
Do you mean the "ring" (flagship in middle) formation suggested by the wiki for that map?

>>11382675
I think he meant double line. Diamond/ring formation is for carriers.

>>11382673
She may be the Stephen Baldwin of the Kongou sisters, but she's still a Kongou.
And my 2nd ever fucking BB, finally.

>>11382678
Well, I do have a light carrier, should I use the double line or ring formation for the boss fight of that map?

>>11382675
The ring formation buffs your anti-air/anti-sub capabilities in exchange for big damage debuff/accuracy debuff, the "2 line" formation (2nd one) is the denfensive one, gives you an overall boost to almost everything except anti-sub.

Or you can use the 5th formation, which trades a big armor boost for reduced firepower/accuracy.

Is there any disadvantage of having too wide level distance in 1 fleet?

>>11382686
As far as I could tell, no. A lvl 1 heavy cruiser costs same amount of fuel/ammo as a lvl 20 heavy cruiser. So if you're powerleveling someone it's actually more financially viable to run them with your A-team instead of alongside a bunch of other rookies.

>>11382683
if no one's lightly damaged or worse, use single line (first) formation.

>>11382679
ヽ(‘ー`)ノ I'll eventually get around to giving her a refit just like the rest of the sisters.

Currently at Lv2. I'm getting the hang of it.

>>11382668
>Constructing ships
I have every battleships and I got all of them from drops.

I construct ships only to fulfill the daily quest.

Does emergency repair crew work for all the ships or only the one who has it equipped?

>>11382791
The only one equipped of course.

Finally got my main fleet entirely remodeled.

Chitose still needs two (skipped the 15) remodels though at 35 and 50.

How do I get this back up?

>>11382748
Buy some furniture so your girls don't sleep on cardboard. but take your time on that.

>>11382840
Daily quest.

>>11382840
Do some quests.

>>11382844
Guy needs to unlock expeditions first.

>>11382844

Getting furniture feels pretty good. Gotta change those windows and curtains soon

2-4 cleared, finally. Seems setting Akagi as my flagship made getting to the boss through the South East route a lot easier. Also, didn't think I'd unlock 4-1 along with 3-1.

>>11382690
I hate having my destroyers watch my carriers bomb everything into oblivion. There's no reason to get 300 EXP for that. I always try to make sure that the ships I'm leveling can contribute to the fight.

Then everybody goes home wounded and I'm out for the day.

How do you equip you emergency repairs?

>>11383078
Just shove them in a weapons slot.

One-time use only.

>>11383078
I have a few emergency repairs, but I don't see them when I go to the equipment tab and try to put them on a ship.

>>11383078
You're*

>>11383083
It looks like a white hammer/pick thing at the end of your equipment list.

>>11383089
Thanks.

But you only have two of them? I accidentally ate one when doing the quest to recycle an item.

>>11383093
I got four for as long as I can remember.
Forgot how many we start at. Can anyone confirm the starting free emergency repairs?

>>11383093
You buy it with real money.

>>11383163
2

>>11383163
I think I had two when I started a week or so ago.
I think I also got one more through a one-time quest, too, as I currently have three.

quick question: what does the formation do?
does it affect battles that much? is it like rock paper scissors?

Quick questions,

1) How do I get to unlock the other fleets? Do I need to beat the bosses?

2) Is there a place to forge/buy guns for the ship?

>>11383201
http://www56.atwiki.jp/kancolle/pages/25.html

Do some independent research, you tremendous homos.

Different formations boost and weaken different stats, and change the rate at which each individual ship slot is attacked.

The wiki pages are http://wikiwiki.jp/kancolle/?%BF%D8%B7%C1 and >>11383214 . Dunno which to trust though, so you'll have to just figure it out on your own.

Is there anyway to change my nickname? It looks like its looked to my dmm account...

If not, is it possible to delete my save and start anew?

I'm pretty sure you can change your DMM name, but not your admiral name.
Also, you can't delete your save as far as I can tell.
