How the hell do I get battleships? I'm farming 2-2 all day and crafting 400/30/600/30 for days and I STILL don't have a single battleship. Is my luck that rotten?

>>11387099
Yes. Have you unlocked 2-3 and 2-4 yet? Do that first then go back to 2-2.

>>11387102
I've unlocked 2-3. I've ran 2-3 about 8 times now, still hasn't reach the boss once because of lolcompass.

>>11387099
What kind of ships are you getting? Maybe you mixed up the recipe.

>>11387104
Just a lot of heavy cruisers and light cruisers, occasionally some destroyers.

I think I should be able to sneak her into 3-2 like this.

>>11387099
Try doing 400/100/600/30. I've been getting better mileage with that. Plus it's only a little bit of ammo. You should be swimming in it unless you're BB heavy.

damn, missed the lewdness.
care to censorpost it again ?

>>11387104
fuel / ammo / steel / bauxite.
just in case.

So does the lottery start at 5:30 Japan time daily?

>>11387116
Not always, keep updated on their twitter.

>>11387109
But she can't launch planes like that. Enjoy being a big fat target and eating crit and your buckets all day.

>>11387121
They'll manage to get them out of their hangars somehow.

>>11387125
Internal hangars?

I need to take it easy for a while and let my resources build

No, Akagi. You cannot bring them along.

For the "kill 20 bosses" quest, can it be in 1-1 through 1-4? Or does it have to be past the first maps?

>>11387147
Yes. Any boss, Adolf.

The ships have spawned too many tripfags.

>>11387120
Are they @kancolle_news?

>>11387158
SURPRISE!

>>11387157
These threads have spawned the entirety of one new tripfag, unless that's the joke.

>>11387162
That's about two too many.

>>11387171
Nobody feels like "correcting" a shitty post in a five hundred post thread. It's the nature of the beast.

>>11387157
Well the quality of posting has degraded, but its unrelated to the trips we have.

>>11387162

>>11387176
Please stop posting where you are from, it is quite irrelevant.

Catch me if you can~

>>11387183
Cute anime pic.

>>11387184
Shimakaze is a Kancolle character.

It could be worse, guys. Like people misusing the quote function.

And I am from Maidzuru Naval HQ.

The de-evolution of these threads continue

Let's talk about Kancolle

>>11387158
@kancolle_staff

I've got three Nakas, and still no Sendai.

>>11387197
Wikia said we can't appoint new admin before 18 Sep. And if any one interest to be an admin of kancolle wikia or just want to talk, please go to http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:CDRW/Admin_Issue

>>11387200
You could always spam a few 30/30/30/30 recipes

>>11387200

>>11387202
I've been doing that. Mostly getting starter destroyers, Tatsuda, and Naka.

>send my expedition fleet to get beat up by super-high level fleets in drills for free exp
>2-3 beatings later they all start sparking

Uh-oh...

The midget submarine torpedo attack is super misleading. It just looks like any other ship-fired torpedo. Hell, I thought it actually was a torpedo until I looked it up.

Actually for a while I was trying to get Chitose to use it in a night combo but I guess that wasn't happening for obvious reasons.

>>11387221
Put it on upgraded Kitakami and together with two CVs you can probably take out half the enemy already on their opening runs.

is Tenryu / Tatsuta worth investing on? I really like them...

>>11387221
Yes... no combo in night battle for midget sub

Still, ships like katakami kai 2 can one shot anything in night battle without combo

>>11387217
Tenryuu is just always getting shit and it's really depressing.

>>11387227
I'm actually just feeding Chitose my spare destroyers right now, don't have a Kitakami. I was wondering if she could pull off a combo since I advance to night almost every time anyway.

>>11387233
Why is tenryuu getting shit?

>>11387233
I fed Kitakami my spare DDs after I upgraded her since it'll be quite some time to upgrade her again anyway. Now she's capable of one-shotting enemies with the midget subs and like I said, with 2 CVs providing bomb runs, half of the enemy is sunk even before the main battle starts

>>11387234
Nobody takes her seriously when it comes to comics and stuff. Well, that's not completely true, she does get paired up with her younger sister to form a terrifying rape squad. But there's a lot of it.

>>11387221
Try and see if putting
20cm main gun
61cm五連装(酸素)魚雷
and minisub would get a combo or just go twin oxygen torp + minisub

>>11387211
God damn, I finally got Sendai while grinding 1-2.

>>11387240
Chitose can't equip regular torpedoes at all.

>>11387247
Shit, different comp forgot to put trip.

Anyways, so now I can farm with two expeditions at once, right?

Is this going to turn out well?

>>11387248
My bad. So that's why mine is currently equipping three minisubs. She can equip 12.7cm main gun, 15.2 yellow guns though. I guess it can't synergy with minisub this way.

>>11387270
Rest in peace

>>11387277
Traded one for one. I call it a draw.

>>11387277
In the end I traded one for one. I call it a draw.

Hi posted this in the old thread, didnt realise it hit post limit.

Whats remodeling and secretary ship (is it the
1st ship in the 1st fleet)?

I notice in the wiki 'development', it states the secretary ship. Does it mean that i need a certain secretary ship to be able to make certain weapons?

At least she was reborn as a carrier instead of one of those fish...things.

Think all the humanoid ones can talk or is it just those boss specials?

>>11387307
Modernization is adding stats
Remodeling is refitting to a newer version when they reached a certain level. Both can be found by clicking the clockwork gear icon. Left is modernization, right is usually grayed out.

Yes. The one who is currently on your HQ page. You have to go there first to refresh your page too when you swap.

>>11387099
just got my first BB and CVL (Kongou and Houshou) from that exact recipe and i'm not even in 1-4 yet.
just take it easy~

looks like chinese hack the game.

>>11387333
I'm level 20, my highest level ship is 22, I have about 20 heavy cruisers, 30 light cruisers, six seaplane tender, two fleet carrier and one light carrier. Guess what? No battleships still. I can't take it easy like this.

>>11387404
That is not hard to meet Fuso or Ise in map 2

>>11387400
>>11387403
and the devs fight back. account ban

>>11387400
>>11387403
As expected from PLAN.

Finally got Yamashiro off a drop today and... not sure I like her. At least Fuso has the courtesy to pretend to be pleased to see me.

>>11387400
Nobody likes chinese anyway

Reminder that those girls were brought back from death and you're supposed to take care of their second life.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI1f6aP9TuQ

>>11387439
GTFO. You ever have lo mein noodles?

>>11387400
What kind of hacking is going on here? It looks normal to me.

>>11387471
Look at their starter ships.

>>11387471
Getting Shimakaze/Fusou-class as starter ship.

>>11387476
>>11387474
Oh. Now I'm just amazed that I didn't notice.

>>11387467
But that is food or does it contain chinese

Glorious

>>11387485
I have six of her. I'm actually using two as expedition leaders, but I fed the other four to my other ships. Congrat.

>>11387485
Grats, it's always nice to see someone get aimed ship via drop.

>>11387437
I found her voice to be quite cute eventually.

I want to fuck Mogami.

Does this game have character convos? Kinda like the one in Rinkou no Lemuria.

>>11387576
No, not really. Some talk about each other but that's it.

So I woke up a half hour late, did I miss the lotto?

>>11387610
I don't think there was an announcement today for a new server.

Oh it was 19:30 not 17:30 well at least I'm up early now.

>>11387610
nope, you'll have one in 90min (8k slots, 19:30 JST).
It seems Friday lottery will be held at night in Japan. to care those who has daily job.
Anyways, why not check their twitter?

>>11387466

I-I'm so sorry Murakumo ;_;

>>11387595
Oh, okay. Thanks.

I was rolling 4 battleships per day for a few days and now have a 4th fleet.

>>11387706
Rolled the past days too but not one of the four sisters

What was your flagship?

>>11387735
Nothing matters on crafting ships.
That's why you guys get BBs on early level.

I can't get Kongo-chan...
Naka is enough.

>>11387735
>What was your flagship?
Nagato
But I got shitloads of cruisers as well. With the 400/30/600/30 it's circa 30-50% probability to get a BB.
>>11387749
Like this guy said you can get a BB even if your flagship is a heavy cruiser, you can get ones even if you are low level with nothing.

>>11387706
There are some days where I would get a battleship per sortiem and so I spammed sorites that day.

Then there are some days where I would just get destroyers from the same map every sortie.

I suspect the random number algorithm used by the programmers is flawed.

>>11387832
I somehow sense that there's daily trend or cycle for ship crafting. Not sure about sortie, though.

>>11387839
I pretty much stopped building ships when I realized I could get (nearly) every ship from sorties. I'll just wait for the day where battleships drop like leaves from a tree and spam map 2-2.I had 4 Kirishima and 3 Haruna's the last time that happened.

>>11387846
Well, yes, 3-2-1 gives me BBs all the time. I still want Shoukaku/Zuikaku, though. Hell, I even still don't have Nagato and/or Mutsu.

Need one more 46 to complete my main guns. I have shit luck when crafting planes though.

>>11387891
what T-level did you start focusing on upgrading your guns? I'm still getting shit like 7.7cm for the recipe

>>11387911
Forgot but around 20 i guess. I started crafting weapons when i was still farming 2-2.

Is there a limit to how many buckets you can have?
I had 99, got one from an expedition and they're still 99.

>>11387959
I think someone said before that the actual count goes beyond what's displayed in the item menu. Or something like that.
You should double check everywhere they're referenced just to make sure.

>>11387959
Your items menu can only list up to 99 but if you go to use one it should show 100 and above. Same goes for everything else.

>>11387959
Try to use em, it will give you the real number.

Someone in the previous thread mentioned using an API link to load the game elsewhere. How do I do that?

>>11387966
>>11387969
>>11387975
That's it, thanks.
I can continue to accumulate buckets for the bucket goddess.

>>11387990

>>11387990
>>11380090

>>11387998
>>11388005

Thanks.

Rookie admiral reporting, any advice from the veterans to avoid the chances of losing your girls? I just got to 1-2 boss and just saw in horror the damage some of my ships are taking. Right now I'm really scared to sent them out.

>tfw can't read moon

All those years where I though simply patching my VNs with translations would be enough...

Now I find myself with something I can't patch...

>>11388042
Get some light cruisers if possible, and pray for good RNG.

>>11388042
Don't rush it, retreat if you need to. You can always try again later.

>>11388042
Don't send them to battle when they are fatigued which is indicated by a yellow sad face on their status windows. Avoid night battles when they have medium to heavy damage.
And for 1-2, get light cruisers. Or if possible a heavy cruiser. You will need a couple plus if you can afford it, a battleship on maps 1-3 and 1-4.

>>11388060
orange sad face I mean

>>11388042
Sinking ships are part of the game.

>>11388057
>>11388060
>>11388061

Thanks admirals, I only have Yubari right now leading the destroyers. Guess I'll try my luck building to get some light cruisers into the fleet.

>>11388069
Aim for battleships, anon. You'll get light cruiser, anyway.

I don't understand how this game became so popular.
I mean, the gameplay looks similar to a facebook game as far as I can tell, complete with microtransactions.
Is it because there's girls?

I'm genuinely curious.

Just in case people missed it, it looks like ch. 9 of the manga just released (a few hours ago?).

>>11388077

>Is it because there's girls

Short answer:
Yes

Long answer:
It's because Tenryuu is such a goddamn cutie and I love hearing her voice

Tips for newer admirals:
Put your good ships on 1, 3, 5 slot, then ships you don't care about at 2, 4, 6. Send them into battle and set the dual line formation for maximum troll evasion and defense while your prized ship pound away at your enemy. Low level destroyers literally does nothing but soak up fire. Let them do their role and fulfill their destiny by being an evasion tank, taking damage and sinking.

>>11388119
>not pulling out when your destroyers get badly injured

How heartless.

>>11388119
hidoi

Oh my god.... it finally happened at lvl 41.
I got her!

Words cannot describe the happiness i'm feeling right now.

>>11388139
Damn, that's long. Congrats, anon.
>>11388119
Say no to sweatshop HQ.

>>11388139
She looks much nicer with dat golden backgrounds.
Congrats man.

>>11388119
This is what I usually do, CV/CVL at the back and BB/CA in front. I still care about all my ships, though.

>>11388139
Congratulations!

What the building quest that says はじめての? It's 60/60/60/60

>>11388161
Dismantle an unnecessary ship.

For reference on future quests, check here http://www56.atwiki.jp/kancolle/pages/22.html

>>11388077
I tried it out for the shipgirls. I continue playing because I normally spend all day drawing, and this game has enough downtime that my day hasn't really changed that much.

What would be a good CV/CVL setup for 2-4? Extra fighters to reduce incoming damage from torpedo planes, or extra torpedos for clearing pr-emptive trash clearing?

>>11388211
Both, though seeing that most of the battles do not contain enemy aircraft carriers, personally I staff more torpedo/dive bombers and rely on my aviation battleships to provide anti-air fire. The extra firepower will help a lot, although if you turned north you might suffer a lot.

>>11388211
I used a setup of 2 Torpedo, 1 Fighter and 1 Dive bomber on my CV that didn't have my Saiun, that one was just 1/1/1/1.

>>11388219
North route should be easy enough to avoid as I can just pull out as soon as I start heading north.

Just from looking at the wiki's layout of 2-4, the boss has no carriers, but a divergent node in south path leads to a fleet with nothing but flagship and elite CVs..

I'm low enough on steel as it is, I'd like to avoid a 2000 steel repair bill from going down the wrong path.

>>11388211
When I did 2-4, I used the main three slots for 2 fighter and 1 torpedo bomber. The fourth one is for Saiun and additional torpedo bomber. Maybe if I had to re-do that map, I'll use same setup.

You may as well prepare some AAs in your battleships. 46cm + Type 3 Ammo is the best IMO (though when I did that map I only had 41cm, but I finished the carrier map spot well enough)

>>11388240
Although a bit gamey, supposedly you can close the game as soon as you found you you went down the wrong path.

>>11388248
Doesn't that reduce all your ships health to 1? That happened to me once when my browser crashed.

I don't understand.

I'm getting system error [B-001] whenever I try to register, how do I fix this?

>>11388230
>>11388247
So I just crafted one, why is this such a big deal again? For the accuracy/defense buff?

Does only one of your CVs do a preemptive bombing run? When I have a CV and a CVL in my fleet, only my CV attacks before the battle. Is it just that you only get 1 pre-battle strike?

>>11388253
Try another proxy. Yours is busted.

>>11388257
It also prevent you from getting in a disadvantage when you cross the T, which is a living hell in higher level battles.

>>11388257
Prevent your fleet get T-crossed.

>>11388263
It only shows the earliest in your fleet for the cut-in, they all attack however, you can tell by watching the planes appear.

>>11388252
It worked for me before when mine crashed, but I am not sure if it is fixed. Supposedly you can try it with low level destroyers in 1-1 and see whether it still works.

And Ikadzuchi is now chasing me swing her anchor.

>>11388263
Your CVL attacks too (if it has a torpedo plane), watch carefully and you can see planes coming from your CVL. It's just the cut-in always shows whoever's closest to the 1st slot.

In my case the CV cut-in is always Fuso even though she's a BB (since she has scout planes).

>>11388266
DDs are for doting, not suicide runs.

>>11388253
You don't need a proxy to register

>>11388274
>doting
Mine just involve reducing their health below 50%.

>>11388281
I can't access the site without a proxy on mine.

>>11388264
>>11388262
Forgive me for my ignorance but what exactly are the requirements for crossing the T, and how does one prevent them aside from having scout planes?

>>11388302
It is pretty much in the dark since the officials have not released much information about it (or the game mechanics in general), but I think it occurs more often when at least one side chooses formations that resembles a line. Unfortunately I believe those are the only formations that are consistently worthy of use.

>>11388302
It's when you see Ｔ字戦 and the text under it is red. Your attack and defense get reduced for the battle.

Passed 4-3

>>11388252
It still works now. It should do as long as you have not entered the battle.

>>11388376
This is as hard as 2-4.

>>11388376
>>11388402
>dat resources
>dat development material
Holy shit, how long do you pile them up?

>>11388410
>pile em up
Never. Just play, do expeds & complete quests.

>>11388402
I've never gone forward with 4-3 just because there's nothing there I currently want. That and I'm busy training other things. Though I have a feeling it'll be a pre-req for the next map. Also, it doesn't seem that bad unless it took you to the northern route instead of going to F in the beginning. Or is there actually some sort of requirement for going down to F?

>>11388447
>>11388402
I could not reach 4-3 boss, do i need some kind of fleet like 3-2 or what?

>>11388447
Just your luck i guess. J is the abort node, you'll encounter 2 flagships 4 elites there.
Although i finished this one going 5 nodes. J-F-D-G-I
Main problem is getting to the boss without any critical ships since there's 3 flagships on G with 2 of em CVs (flagship class CVs can do night bombing).

>>11388473
Nah, i got to the boss 3 times. 2 with the same composition, once with some light cruisers mixed in. It's just that there's so many combination that makes it difficult. Not to mention the compass loves to start you to J.

>>11388447
The upcoming map isn't a limited time event map right?

>>11388486
It'll be area 5.
I assume we'll see next event in October tho.
Musashi!

>>11388486
Yes. I predict that map can be unlocked when 3rd AND 4th map are finished.

>>11388478
Ouch. Sounds like hell. Looks like you even went through two sub groups. Congrats to that.

Well, I got in about 6 hours ago, and I'm just now getting started playing. I picked Inazuma as my starter, and it looks like Yukikaze will be my first crafted ship if I read the timers right. So happy I can finally play this after 2 weeks of losing sleep for nothing.

>>11388555
if you got 24 minutes from 30/30/30/30, it's probably not Yukikaze, but non-rare-Kagerou sisters instead.

>>11388568
Ah. Reading the english wiki, I thought it was Yukikaze.

Oh well I'm out of steel

>>11388597
Yeah, she's 24 minutes as well, but with the all 30 recipes, she's much rarer. When you get 24 minutes or 30 minutes from the 250/30/200/30 recipe, it's 100% the rare destroyers Yukikaze and Shimakaze, respectively.

>>11388327
>>11388302
Whether or not you get T-crossed is determined after the initial bomber plane run. Basically, looking at whatever ships are left on the map, if the enemy is in a horizontal-ish line and you're in a vertical formation, then you're disadvantaged.

I don't really know why they chose this mechanic. Probably because blitzkrieg or something.

>>11388149
I recall this was taken from some chapter of Fullmetal Alchemist.

>>11388622
Even with the recipe it's not 100% (in Yukikaze's case), that's why the term YAGGY came to be.

>>11388626
It can't be that simple. I've gotten T-crossed with all kinds of formations vs a lot of other ones. Formation 1 vs formation 1, 5 vs 1, 3 vs 2, etc., etc.
Seems like it's pretty much random.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm21768618

Put on your fancy clothes. Or rather, headphones. Since I idle, my BGM has always been off...

Man, seems like leaving equipment on ships used for modernization should give more bonuses. I kind of wish they included something like that. Better than ending up with 300 pieces of base equipment for deconstructing at 1 ammo 2 steel each.

>>11388656
Well, you cannot feed your daughteru equipment either, so...

>>11388638
And you can get it in a 1v1 battle too (like sending a single destroyer to 1-1 in the first battle). I was pretty sure it just randomly chose between opposite direction, same direction, T in your favor, T in enemy's favor, and having a recon plane just eliminated the bad one

>>11388629
What does YAGGY stand for anyway?

Most stats are self-explanatory but what about these:

Speed - JPwiki seems to say that if all your ships are fast, you get an evasion buff. This right?
Luck - chance to not get critted? Or something else?
Range - ?
Sight - Chance to detect enemy? Isn't that what the seaplane is for, so does it matter how high it is per ship?

Also, some equips buff a hit stat, but can't find what it does/where it is.

>>11388719
I maybe wrong, this are all observations and heresay.
>Speed
I think it's for evasion. Some anon here a few threads just slap some improved engines on his Yukikaze and had commented that she keeps dodging BB fires.
>Range
Who goes first. The further it is, the more turn they get to attack, I think.
>Sight
Enemy detection. This will determine whether the recon phase is successful. If you notice, recon plane launched from ships but carrier had high chance of failing because their sight stat is pretty low while carriers have better stat than that.
>Luck
Seems to be the case although my Yamashiro had not been rarely crit.

It seems the earlier theory about certain days being good for rare drops might be true. I've been getting rarer ships in the area 2 missions I've been running so far, including Fuso, who is the third battleship I've ever gotten, and the first I've gotten from a drop.
I'm still not 100% convinced, but it is interesting.

I have no idea what it says but I guess, don't go AFK on a battle?

>>11388770
Ah, that's happened to me before.
You don't get to see your ships' status, so you might be entering night battle with heavily damaged ships and barely scratched opponents, or similarly troubling situations.
Or you could be well off, but just need the extra turns to get a score over a C.

>>11388737
Engines directly improve evasion, not speed. Speed only comes in "high" and "low."

I believe luck also improves likely of not sinking in battle (miss chance, targeting?)

>>11388775
I thought the general consensus was to never enter night battles, unless you're fighting the boss and they're almost dead, since it's a waste of resources.

Since I wrote this without having any submarines, I think I need lots of corrections

http://pastebin.com/18hdpBLN

>>11388782
Eliminating all the ships increases the chance of getting an S rank.

>>11388790
I know, but in area 1 and 2 (as in 1-1, 1-2,1-3 and 1-4 for area 1, etc), the difference in exp between A and S rank wasn't great enough to make up for the increase repair time. I'm not sure what the case is for the later areas.

>>11388782
That's what I do too, but supposedly good scores correlates to better drops, and certain quests need good scores too.

>>11388790
I think eliminating all ships is actually the only requirement to get S rank, and you can get a special S rank if you don't get damaged as well.

What button is it to set the furniture you buy in the room?

>>11388840
5th button from the left on top row on main screen.

>>11388840
5th from right, between items and quests.
Oh and they swap out some furniture every update, so have fun trying to collect them all before they're gone, maybe for good.

>>11388854
Sorry, 5th from left as >>11388851 said

>>11388782
S ranking (especially on boss fights) gives a higher chance of giving you a rare character.

>>11388858
Well shit if that is true. Maybe I should move back down to 2-2 and get more S-ranks.

I could relate to the author's comment on every character except Haruna, since I don't have her.

>>11388867
Translation?

>>11388867
Author is Harunafag.

>>11388866
>2-4
>ボスＳ：金剛、比叡、霧島、伊勢、日向、加賀、蒼龍、山城

Personally I haven't gotten any of those to drop from S-ranking, but reportedly a number of people have gotten Kirishima from 2-2 boss.

>>11388876
2-2 boss is pretty much a good place to farm for ships. Got my Kaga from there.

>>11388867
This is pretty accurate. Haruna is olev, oyome-tier.

Goddamn this 100 ship limit, I don't like feeding ships I only have 1 of.

>>11388876
I got Hiei to drop from 2-1 or 2-2 at some point, so it might be true.

>>11388882
I know right? I might actually have to spend the money and buy some repair docks + 2~3 home port expansion.

>>11388882
Time to hate money, anon.

>>11388626
in real life boatmurder, crossing the T lets you engage with all your guns from all your ships at once (except your forward torpedos), but the enemy can only engage with his foremost ship's forward arc of fire until he breaks formation, which slows him down and creates chaos.

and if you're shelling lengthwise down a long string of ships you're going to hit some poor sod even if you miss your intended target, where he'll mostly hit water since you're a thin line that has to be accurately ranged.

For those who have subs, how does it attack/get attacked?

>>11388889
I can stop myself from paying anything because I know I'll stop playing once I buy something.

>>11388878
>>11388881
I run that place enough since it has lots of supply ship spawns, but hadn't had much luck with boss drops, maybe I should have Hyahaa as flagship since she has 30 luck?

>>11388889
>try to buy bitcash from sudocorp
>got refunded because my paypal is unverified
>takes 3-5 days to get account verified

Well, shit.

>>11388893
It gets attacked by destroyers and light cruisers (plus their upgrades) by a (slow) animation of dropping depth charges directly on them.

Subs attack the same way torpedo ships do, but can strike first before the gun phase after lv10.

>>11388898
Not sure if luck of the flagship plays into it, I mean I got Kongou on my first battleship craft in a while after someone mentioned they just got her in the thread a while ago...

>>11388901
Epic green bro xD

>>11388876
I've gotten every Kongou-class aside from Haruna from 2-2's boss, and I only get S ranks on it, so that's a possibility.
I've also had them all drop in 3-2-1 as well, aside from Haruna of course, I mean why would I ever get the one ship that I started playing for?

>>11388908
Don't worry, anon. She'll show up for you eventually.

>>11388876
I got Kirishima and another Hiei off 2-2 boss myself

I got Soryu off a A rank finish, I didn't expect that

Is this normal? It's asking me to wait till tomorrow.

Is there any point to equipping multiple of the same weapon?

>>11388949
Registering an account and actually getting onto the server are two separate things.

Alright, where do subs appear often? I've been getting sub battles from 2-2 for a while, but now that I have a quest for killing them I'm not seeing any and time's running out before daily quests reset.

>>11388956
>>11388961
I see. Thanks for the help.

>>11388974
Er, maybe I meant torpedo cruisers. Well in any case, I found some in 1-4 but it's pretty much too late, so nevermind.

holy- I haven't checked how many furniture boxes I had lying around. Time to splurge on all the new furniture.

Drop at 2-2, I must be some kind of lucky

I've heard all the horror stories, but I already have Hiei and Kirishima at 24

Only one more to go

>>11389221
Enjoy waiting forever for Haruna to appear unless you're some kind of really lucky person.

Try doing 400/100/600/30. I've been getting better cannot bring them uality of posting has degraded, but its unrelated to the trips we have. Wikia said we can't appoint new admin before 18 Sep little bit of ammo. You should be swimming in it unless you're BB heavy.

Waiting for the other shoe to drop.

>>11389248
Just got her today doing the daily "craft 1 ship". Was praying fervently for it not be another Hiei when I saw the 4 hour timer.

>>11389273
what the fuck did I just read?

>>11389279
Grats!

>>11389128
Thought it was a nice touch that the game opens the entire stack of boxes with a single click, so you won't have to hammer that box icon 59 times.

>>11389279
Damn, I hope I get her soon

I'm inpatient myself I hope I haven't jinxed myself with all my good luck

>>11389283
Indeed. Whoa, Hiei looking really attractive? I thought I'd never see the day.

>>11389273
Not sure what you're saying, but yes I seem to have a better luck of getting the Kongous when I use the 400/100/600/30 recipe.

My 3 attempts had been:
Hiei -> Hiei -> Haruna

My luck has got to run out soon, but that's better results than the half dozen times I used 400/30/600/30.

>>11389291
>>11389282
Don't mind it. It seems to be a mixture of previous posts. I only noticed because a part of it was from one of my posts.
>>11387204 >>11387171 >>11387114

>>11389287
How dare you! Hiei is plenty cute. She's just... overshadowed by her more popular sisters.

>>11389279
Your good luck caused me to press my luck in hopes of getting her, sadly I only ended up with a 1h25m craft, what a waste of my remaining steel.
I'll get her one of these days for sure, even if it has already taken 44 levels!

Personally I haven't gotten any of those to drop from S-ranking, but Kongous when I use the 400/100/600/30 recipe.

>>11389311
> 44 levels
You should stop using resources on shipbuilding and put them to levelling and unlocking 3-2 instead...

>>11389302
Well, I just don't find her in-game sprite to be as cute as her sisters', but that's just my preference. More power to you, anon!
Between the rest of her sisters, I really can't decide whom I like the most, so I'll dote them with love, equally. Trying to bring them all up to the same level at the moment. Hiei's quite far behind, but I'll get around to her eventually.

>>11389311
I didn't get my first BB until I was 31 (Fuso), I'd like to think of it as my bad luck finally paying off.

>>11389326
> Fuso
> first BB
your fukou just got extended. At least you should be getting her siscon sister soon.

>>11389325
I'm at 3-2 already, I've actually been here for at least 4 T-levels and as far as BB drops are concerned I've gotten around 3 Kongou, 2 Kirishimas, 3 Fusous and a Hiei or two. I think Haruna may just hate me.

>>11389291
From my past experience, I feel these last target are set as particularly rare and is different for each account.

So you better stop wasting resources and just grind some level then camp at 2-4 or 3-2. I recommend 3-2 for Kongou class.

>>11389334
Nonsense. Haruna is a goddess who harbors no unwarranted ill feeling towards anyone.

She's busy.

>>11389291
>>11389338

And once you get the last ship, you'll see a lot of the ship from then.
For me it was Haruna, I didn't met her till camping two days at 3-2, now I had fed her like 20 times.

If I craft a battleship, I will feel as though I have lost.

>>11389338
> So you better stop wasting resources and just grind some level then camp at 2-4 or 3-2. I recommend 3-2 for Kongou class.
That's how statistic tends to work, anon... When you don't have many kanmusu, getting a new kanmusu is easy, but as you start bringing more into your family, it becomes increasingly more difficult to find new kanmusu.

This applies to all other admirals as well, who've been saying that RNG is wonky in this game. Similarly, there will be times when it's seemingly easy to get rare crafts and kanmusu, and other times, down right impossible. Well, of course, your sample size is what, at max 4~10 samples. Just because your previous craft was a common item doesn't mean the RNG adjusts itself to give you a better craft on your next try.

The take home message is to take your time, and the kanmusu whom you've been wanting will eventually come to you. Meanwhile, give some love to the other (possibly ignored) girls!

>>11389359

>>11389374
This shitty admiral has already made it this far.

If I start crafting battleships now it will all have been for nothing.

>>11389359
Anon, I'll do it if you do it with me. I've been trying to craft Nagato for about two weeks now and nothing yet. You'll have better chances than me since you're not aiming for anything in particular. In any case you should be fine if you have the resources to support them AFTER you craft them. Nothing to lose except if you get a Naka.

>>11389382
Well... just once can't hurt, right?

>>11389387
Okay, I'm putting in a 400/30/600/30 now. Wish me luck in Japan.

>>11389387
I lost my gamble. Got a Myoko class CA. Good luck on yours.

>>11389403
1:20. My honor is safe.

>>11389411
Are you doing a challenge run, or trying to get battleships only as drops?

>>11389410
I pulled a 1:20 and then torched it since I have seventy-five of them just sitting around. It turned out to be Haguro.

My honor is safe for now.

Got the ship I couldn't find on the last E4 camp.
Now I don't have to look back 3-3.
Gonna back to 4-3...

>>11389429
Is 3-3 where you got her?

>>11389415
A bit of both, I suppose? I did pick up a Fusou from 2-1 a while ago and sortie her from time to time. I picked up an Ise from 2-2 earlier today, too. But mostly I just wanted to pick the ships I liked and roll with them all the way to the end. I'm walled at 2-4 right now.

"It's true that you can't defeat 2-4 with cruisers… but if they're super-cruisers, which are stronger than regular cruisers, they could even win against 2-4, right?"

>>11389434
3-3-1, but I believe any spots on 3-3 has a chance like Shimakaze on 2-4.

>>11389440
Bring level 60+ ktkm-sama and Ooicchi with 4 heavy cruisers and they might do the job.

>>11389446
Thanks.

>>11389440
There's a vid with destroyer team beating 2-4. Granted they're level 50 something

>>11389429
I just got her from 3-3 boss a couple days ago as well.

How does torpedo cruiser perform, end-game wise?

I got a level 14 Kitakami sitting around that I pull in occasionally, but fights has a tendency to finish before she fires her torpedo. Even if she does, she typically misses.

>>11389519
Get a midget sub. Be amazed.

>>11389519
>>11389523
here's high level ktkm-sama (and mid-level Ooicchi) in action.

They are also very good for anti-sub.

>>11389523
Is there only one rank of Minisub? My Chiyoda Kai has two of them and I guess I could just try it on her.
My 2-4 prep team is getting a bit too resource heavy right now and I'm thinking of swapping some of the heavy cruisers out for something lighter to be more sustainable.

Are the kongo sisters all about even in stats?

>>11389575
Yeah there's just one type of them for now. Depending on the target, torpedo cruisers can provide about the same or higher firepower (including the initial torpedo attack) than heavy cruisers.

>>11389587
All stats, except that Haruna Kai has 20 luck vs 12 on the rest of the sisters.

>>11389632

I keep getting her even at 30/30/30/30 build but no sign of Naka. Right now I have 5 in my collection.

Ok I tried another recipe and it was the same time.

He's toying with my heart ;_;

>>11389650
The torch, admiral, the torch.

>>11389650
>>11389650
Not wanting to wait 14 hours, I used one torch on the first one, and I got this.
Am I doing something wrong? Those are 14 hours right? ;_;

>>11389655
This game really likes to tease us...
>>11389675
Aoba? After 14 hours?

>>11389675
Must've been a bug. And here I was excited that Yamato might have been secretly released in the last maint.

>>11389676
>>11389679
Maybe it's related to my computer time zone or something like that, I don't know what else could it be.

300/300/600/600 + 14 hours problem + torch and this is what I got.
Ok, I'm off.

>>11389697
Well, forgot image.

>>11389699
I'd need one but that was kinda expensive ^_^
Anyway, I have one question for the experienced admirals: how should I equip my heavy cruisers? Should I leave those reconnaissance seaplanes? Or should I put more guns?

>>11389697
What kind of crazy ass recipe is that?

Dammit, I missed yesterday's lottery. Th-they'll announce another one soon, right? ;_;

>>11388253
I had this problem as well. Just register without the proxy->Log in->connect to proxy-click shiny yellow button.

You should be able to get in Kancolle and have it tell you that there isn't enough room for you.

>>11389715
Looks like some kind of cruiser + carrier hybrid recipe... hahaha

>>11389716
Probably, they usually announce something about 2-3 hours from now

>>11389715
Aircraft carrier, it's on the wiki.

>>11388253
It's like >>11389716 said, I do the same since I registered 3 days ago. If you happen to get an error message after connecting to the proxy just refresh the page, it's your browser being a bitch with the cached error page.

>>11389735
>>11389716
It's more likely that the proxy server was busted from having too many non-JP players using it.

The ride never ends.

>>11389742
I have no idea but that method described above works perfectly, login without proxy and open the game after connecting to proxy.

>>11389746
How the fuck.

>>11389898
Figs were announced at Wonfest.
Some Kongou, some zekamashi, and a couple others, IIRC.

For higher level expeditions, is it your ships that need to be higher level, or is it your admiral level that needs to be higher in order to successfully do these missions?

>>11389946
In the wiki it says there are a lot of factors that could be taken into account: Admiral level, average level, lowest level inside your fleet, etc. But there's nothing certain. Nevertheless, your flag ship needs a minimum level I think.

For those who leave their IDM open while playing the game, why not download the voice clips?

Here, have some earsex.

>>11390207
>I'm planning to make another account, so I can "fix" my old and noob mistakes and not waste much resources.
It doesn't sound like a great idea on a time consuming, and random game like this or am I missing something?

>>11390228
I'm just bothered by the resources I wasted during the testing stage, is all...

>>11390268
There's absolutely no benefit, though. You probably have more resource right now than 300/300/300/300.

>>11390207
Are you doing your expeditions and dailies properly?

I'm not sure how you can waste resources unless you were literally making ships till all your resources were gone

>>11390268
It's not worth it, and accounts are precious. You shouldn't just waste them frivolously like that. It's easy to "recover" from any kind of deficit.

If you must though, at least give someone who couldn't get in your old account.

>>11390293
>Are you doing your expeditions and dailies properly?
I'm under the impression that I don't.

>at least give someone who couldn't get in your old account.
I'm planning to do this too.

>>11389368
>take your time

When I started the game, I wanted to get Zuihou ASAP and make her my wife and have her be my highest leveled ship forever and all that. It's now been more than a month and she's one of the few ships I'm still missing. Fuck taking my time.

Just built my 10th Shouhou out of 10 2:40 builds. 4-2 boss keeps dropping Tamas and Ashigaras and crap, I get more gold drops from the fight before or the supply fleet (Kongous and Kagas everywhere) but those can't drop Zuihou.

At least I just had my lowest damage 4-2 run, only 11 damage total across 2 ships (obviously ended at supply fleet, not boss). But then the RNG balances everything out next run by making Kirishima take a 67 damage crit in the first battle while I have T advantage. Fucking seriously? Not even the map's boss battleship has ever done that much damage to me, and I get that from a heavy cruiser.

>>11390307
is it really ok to consume that much fuel?

>>11390307
Have you taken a look at pic related? Also what T-level are you and how many combat stages have you unlocked?

Well I've tried a bunch of battleship recipes and it looks like my luck ran out when I got Haruna, which happened to be the the first time I used a battleship recipe.

My ships are still no where near good enough to grind any of the second map stages, still. I do have Ryujo and Shoho, but I can still just barely beat 1-4

>>11390323
Please don't abandon your ship daughters. You practically can't fail the resource management in this game if you know which expeditions to run. 5 for Fuel, 3 for sustainable continuous steel and a tiny bit of fuel and ammo, 6 for bauxite, and 2 for ammo. You're going to keep running into the same problems if you start over anyway, and once you get used to the game, several thousand of any resource isn't too big a deal to obtain or lose.

>>11390323
It's quite easy to recover oil and ammo, just don't playing too much. Use expedition 5, do daily quests, and don't craft too much. I think at your level that fleet is quite decent already.

At least you haven't suffered bauxite and steel terror...

>>11390331
I did, and I'm in the process of looking for Sendai to unlock the third fleet.

>>11390352
>>11390350
thanks. I feel a lot better now. Should've read those lengthy guides in the first place and stopped guessing...
---

I'm not abandoning them, that's for sure.

>>11390350
It's not better to run 12 for steel and bauxite?

>>11390335
1-4's not so great for grinding if you're trying to do that. It's not really a stage you ought to set as your standard for difficulty; 2-1 and 2-2 are much shorter and thus safer. You also have the option of pulling out early if you have too many ships below 50% health.

>>11390372
I usually pull out if more than two ships are more than 1/3rd the way down. especially if it's my carriers.

>>11390371
Well, it depends how devoted you are to continuous runs. Sure 12 gives a higehr base value, but if you run them continuously with minimum delay, 3 gives 120 steel/hour and 6 gives 120 bauxite per hour.

Refer to the right set of columns in this chart for the rest of the details.

>>11390371
It's just too long, you would be able to stack up more in those 8 hours doing any other expedition

>>11390390
>>11390385
Ok. Sounds good.

I've already been using that guide for my expeditions, its worked out for the most part.

>>11390371
When you already got multiple fleets, 9 for fuel or 11 for bauxite according to your need. One fleet should always do 5 for fuel & ammo. Then leave the last one for the small expeds like 2 (ammo) or 6 (bauxite).

Do not do steel. In the long run, you don't need steel at all. Dailies & weeklies are more than enough.

Exped 3 looks deceptively good with the large input of 3 resources but it's really a steel only exped. Rather do exped 2 which gives you occasional buckets.

Really wish there was a ammo heavy, low everything else recipe I could spam.

Anyways, patience and keeping atop of your expeditions will get you back on track. Don't bother with crafting ships unless you're really desperate for a specific one.

>>11390581
I dunno, in my experience 3 is extraordinarily great for steel, which I then splurge on construction projects. Fuel I just get from 3&5, in which 3 gives me enough positive net fuel to counteract the cost of both expeditions.

Then again I don't really do much besides KanColle every day, so I can easily run them at max efficiency.

>>11390603
Out of my resources, i need ammo the most and steel the least. Will change later as i almost have all my guns completed.

>>11390581
>steel

>>11390602
About the only thing is depth charges, but at 10/30/10/10 that's a lot of spamming to do

>>11390603
I've cut way back on playtime so I rarely even do expedition 3 anymore. I spam 5 and 20 now mainly, plus a 4-5 hour one like 18 or 11. Then 15 + 16 overnight with all sparkles for the 16.

20 is the next best steel expedition after 3, and at 2 hours requires way less attention. But anyone who joined after event is out of luck.

>>11389632
Sendai sisters can be found on stage 1. Just grind for them.

>>11389707
I put torpedoes and AA guns on them. Recon planes are better off with seaplane carriers due to the fact they often fail their recon if launched from cruisers.

>>11390581
>>11390734
>Steel

>>11390734
do quests

>>11390399
Frankly, it really depends. I'm quite busy most of the time, so I just sent my fleets to long expeditions while I'm away or asleep. The resource you get are bonus.

> steel
definitely the least of my concerns unless I'm trying to break through a new map.

Come on, someone has to post Souryuu

Turns out 4-4 uses boss meter like event maps.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2b7_e72y5s

Is there a rip of the game's music available anywhere? The event maps music, especially.

Managed to clear 2-4 without much hassle. Wasn't hit at all until I got the second last node where Akagi was hit once. The boss one-shotting Mutsu down to 3 HP had me a little worried though

>>11391199
Damn.

Should I really be focusing on leveling my ships and remodeling them? Because it looks like I can't even dream of beating 2-4 yet.

>>11391199
Goddamn your ship at level 40 was nearly one shotted by the boss? And here I am thinking at least level 35-40 ships are enough.

>>11391199
Damn, that much damage even with capped armor. I'm scared. Congratulations on clearing it.

>>11391218
For 2-4, average level around 30 should be enough, if paired with decent equipments. But yes, remodelling is a must.

No need to be in rush, just keep playing like usual. Find better equipments for your fleet, like 46cm cannon, Saiun, and Type 3 ammo. Some engines might also help.

Please try to see the glitter to the daughter of the ship all 1-1
The increased possibility to avoid than not doing anything
It seems clear probability goes up and if not damaged, since the possible participation of the night battle

Will this lineup be alright? I'm still in the midst of getting the 20s ships to their 30s though and also that's why they were fatigued (kept grinding first node of 2-4). Anyway should I replace Maya with another BB or replace both Maya and Kitakami with BBs? Nagato has 46cm, 41cm, dual purpose triple 15.5cms, and the AP ammo while Kirishima is running 41cms and dual purpose triple 15.5cms. Akagi had 3 star planes and Chiyoda 2 star planes. Kitakami has the midget sub and one of her upgraded topredoes. Maya is for AA work and has x30 12cm rocket launcher, 2 20.3 cm and radar.

My Lv60+ Mutsu can be one shot by elite CA or normal BB to red, but it never happen to my kongo sisters. Speed or luck, maybe both.

>>11390602
You mean kinda like the the 46cm recipe except without the high metal usage? Yea, I wish too. Just send full BBs in your sorties with night battles and they'll eat up all that ammo in no time. That sure is a delicious amount of ammo though, that's for sure.

Steel will be the least of your concerns later on. Trust me.

The worst part about cutting back on playtime is when you're so busy that sometimes you miss the time when they refresh your maneuver partners so you miss out on massive amounts of experience AND sparkles for your expedition fleets. Makes one feel like they've failed their waifus.

>>11391225
It's Mutsu. She really has terrible luck.

>>11391244
Yup. What he said. If you miss expeditions for sparkles just use 1-1 with two ships and one will usually come out sparkling. Very efficient.

>>11391273
I'm kinda worried about Kitakami. She might not have enough evasion to get through it since she hasn't made the final remodel yet. General recommendation in getting through 2-4 would be 2 CVs/4 BBs. Chiyo and Maya works though but you'd fare much better with another BB instead of Maya. Give me that Nagato.

>>11391283
Mutsu Kai only has 5 luck? Jesus, she's unluckier than the Unlucky sisters!

>>11391294
Mmm guess I'll just swap Kitakami out for another BB. Though she'll stay with the fleet to lower the upkeep during training. I'll just pull out Nagato once she hits 35 and replace her with either my Fuso or Ise for training. And once one of those two hits 35 too, I'll replace her with the other. Till then I'll just spam 1st node of 2-4 to get the fleet intended to punch all the way to the boss.
I got Nagato from craft using 400/600/60030 and admiral level 20 and I have no idea how

What do I have to do to unlock more slots for repair?

big fat stack of cash

You have to hate money.

Christ, this is why I can't stop building for BBs everyday.

But yeah, I've heard anything other than BB/CV/CVL/CA wouldn't be able to take a hit here and there and still be strong enough to take the boss by the time you get there.

How many buckets/resources should I prepare for the event maps? And is there any special precaution, like preparing certain ships or crafting equipments?

>>11391312

>>11391314
I have no other BBs other than those 4 I have ;_;
Oh well Hyuuga it is then but she's just level 5. That'll take me longer.

>>11391273
I cleared that map with 2 CVs, 1 CVL, and 3 BBs. I think you need more air strength, especially if you put KTKM-sama. I'm afraid with that setup she couldn't stay undamaged until the boss.

>>11391321
If the last event is anything to go by, stocking up on anti-subs is important, as well as having a good well rounded fleet.

>>11391244
>>11391283

I didn't even go into night battles though, but yeah

>>11391321
As for resources and buckets, it largely depends on how strong your fleet is, and how lucky you are in fighting against the final boss. Since usually the reason why people spend more buckets/resources than they needed during events is because of the goddamn compass.

Stockpile at least around 20-30 buckets / 2k resources for each map just to be safe.
