I guess I'll stop playing until the maintenance ends tomorrow. That would give me enough time to replenish around 2k worth of resources.

Is there anyway to somehow increase the regen of resources (aside from questing)? Expeditions tend to look slow and tedious for me.
inb4: keep waiting

>>11423664
Start hating money
or
Unlock higher expeditions, most of them yield a lot in exchange for being away for hours.

Who is the real one edition.

>>11423682
Samefaceeverywhere

Eh, I limited my 3-4 tries to one per day and I'm stocking up at least 15k for each resource.

>>11423594
It's really not bad. If you've beaten 4-2 then you should be fine completing everything else. Just go at your own pace though. If you feel like you can go through it safely go for it. If you can, try to avoid node H in 3-4 by taking the northern route. It'll be like doing 2-4 boss all over again if you do touch it.
I actually just beat 4-4 but lost Verniy in the process. It really should not have happened and I should have played more cautiously but I believed her evasion would get her through it but that was my downfall. Equips are at the end of the video and I only just got them before 4-3. Please, for the love of your daughters, take your time. Unless you really need anything from later maps don't feel pressured to do it. Learn from the mistakes of Admirals who have lost their daughters. Listen to their cries of anguish and rage. ;_;

Congrats and my condolences, fellow admiral.

I can actually see target ships and various other auxiliary ships in the game, since we already have the food supply ship Mamiya. It would be cool if these gave exceptionally good stats when fed to other girls (target ships), gave expedition boosts (escort ships, which is sort of already in the game since many expeditions require DDs and DDs were the go-to escort ships for many missions) or had radar/Saiun-like tricks to improve the battle performance of other ships (netlayers, cablelayers and the like). These should just drop though, since no one will level a battleship to 70 just to feed her to some other girl.

There was also a curious episode during WWII where the Japanese navy wanted to mask the departure of its potent carrier force, and decided to do it by having an old, remote-controlled target vessel (the Settsu, which was originally slated to be retained as a battleship but was passed over at the last minute for the newer work-in-progress Mutsu, making her perhaps the only ship unluckier than the latter) simulate the radio signals from all eight carriers, which I suppose equates to some sort of ship cosplay. But that's probably too gimmicky to field in an actual fleet, even though I really like the Settsu.

>>11423687
You could probably just do a random craft and she'll appear. Better yet, try not to think about her and she'll appear. I guarantee it.

>>11423749
What kind of CLs are you using? Kitakami and Oi are recommended for later use. Yura and Isuzu are great for ASW. Remodel your Isuzus for their radar.

>>11423771
I'm using nagara and kuma

Nice I was going for planes but this works too.

>>11423812
These "common" turbines are really hard to get. I've burnt through thousands of resource trying to get some.

>>11423698
Guess we're in the same boat
Recently lost my Inazuma at 1-2 all because I believed her evasion will also help her get through.

>>11423786
They're fine. They can hold their own when remodeled. But if you want more firepower and less squishy ships then you're better off crafting a BB or getting a BB to drop.

>>11423815
I guess this also makes things difficult for the theory that ships couldn't sink/were really hard to sink in 1-1 and 1-2.

>>11423816
I've got one! Not sure if this is sane team though Can use some input.

>>11423822
It took 2 criticals; first was from the CL from the 1st node. Second was from the torpedo of the other CL from the boss node. What's more infuriating is that of all the ships I brought (her sisters plus Tenryu and Tatsuta), she was the only one who got damaged like that. Only 2 others had been damaged for 4-5 points. To top it off, Inazuma was the highest level at level 17, the rest at 16, 15 and 14s. And I can't take it off my mind as to how measly level 1 CLs laid heavy toll on my Inazuma.

>>11423823
That much CV/CVLs will burn through your bauxite like wax paper. Replace either Chiyoda or Ryoujou with another CL/Torpedo sister.

Also try not to spend so much resources on building until you at least have the third fleet.

>>11423823
What map are you trying to get through exactly?
For now, it looks fine. I usually roll with 2 carriers max and never 3 but I've seen people do it with no problems. If you can just try to get a CA or another BB and implement them in the fleet as well. Watch your fuel and bauxite consumption.

>>11423837
His Chiyoda isn't even a CVL yet, though.

>>11423823
What map are you stuck in? Fleet composition is pretty varied depending on what stage of the game you're currently at.

>>11423848
I'm still wondering if I should CVL my chiyoda. What do you think?

>>11423854
Hold it off until level 35. The level 15 one wasn't quite useful.

>>11423858
Not him, but I have Chitose at level 20. So I should hold off remodelling her until she reaches 35?

Is there a lottery today?

>>11423854
Personally I remodeled my Chiyoda at 15 just to get Akagi earlier in the game, but after that she became dead weight pretty fast. Seeing as you already got your Akagi I suggest you keep her as a seaplane tender for a while longer. The preemptive torpedo can be quite useful early on

And if you're a patient admiral and level her up to 50 you will be rewarded with tits. So there's that.

I decided to do a few 10/251/250/10, got two 46cm in a row. Guess I won't be getting Haruna this week either.

>>11423873
I had my Chiyoda now at 57 but when I first got her, I quickly turned her to CVL. She only gets 3 slots with somewhat low plane capacity and other CVLs had higher capacity than that. Though it depends on you since if you don't have any CVLs, then you may wanna turn her into CVL already. Just prepare your resources though since you'll be getting Akagi pretty soon after that.

>>11423879
> The preemptive torpedo can be quite useful early on
except it misses most of the times (屮゜Д゜)屮

>>11423887
Also, is there benefit in using CV+CVL if I have two CV (I have Kaga in addition to Akagi)?

>>11423891
There is none.
Always use your heaviest arsenal unless the map requires you to do otherwise or you want to lvl something.
They eat up too much supplies? Big deal.

>>11423885
I've remodelled her, but she's still not CVL yet. So far she's quite good for my fleet since I haven't get torpedo cruisers yet. Which one is more beneficial, to keep her like that or convert her to CVL?

>>11423906
Depends on how many buckets you've got, since carriers get huge repair times. One fart in Chiyoda's general direction and she'll want the bucket.

>>11423903
I don't know about that but my Akagi and Chiyoda (60 and 57) were both performing admirably for now. And I don't have another high level fleet carrier because the only one I have, Soryuu is at level 13.
>>11423906
It's really up to you. If you don't have any CVLs and think you won't be getting anytime soon then go ahead and make her your first CVL. If you have other CVLs and/or can afford to craft one or you think you're lucky enough to get one from drops then hold it off for a while until she hits 35.

>>11423903
Something like this? The only heavier thing I have are heavy cruisers instead of CL/DD.

Other CLs I have are Natori, Sendai, Jintsu, Abukuma, and Yura.

>>11423906
If I remember correctly, she's got two remodels before she turns into a CVL.

If you've only done one, then you can do another at lv 12 or so and decide after that.

lvl 24 admiral here, unlocked up to expedition 20.

What is the most efficient area for expedition on fuel and steel? I have been sending them for expedition 5 (fuel) and 14 (steel).

>>11423952

5 for fuel, 3 for steel

Brought to you in eye-gouging orange.

>>11423916
cool enough.
imo replace chiyoda if you ever get another battleship though. i might be biased since i don't really like cvls

I wonder if taking it easy and letting the girls get a lot of rest improves their performance. My girls have been doing really well against 2-2 boss. Even the compass keeps sending me east with no issues.

>>11423962
http://awa.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Anti-Wikia_Alliance

Now I'm starting to get why these guys were so unhappy that Wikia removed the old default skin.

>>11423987
Notice how when they get badly damaged in a fight, their performance drop as well as receiving higher fatigue total. For example, if a ship didn't get to land a hit in a practice match but the team won, all of the members would probably have the sparkle except for her.

>>11424002
That image fits me very well. I have this certain tendency to return back from sortie at the slight chance of damage and place them in the dock. I don't care if it takes hours for that 7 hp to heal. Better safe than sorry.

I do notice the girls perform horribly when their hp is in the red. Didn't know about not getting the sparkles so that's something new for me.

Nagato have a more commanding voice than Mutsu. Mutsu is sexier though.

>>11424066
I agree on Nagato having more commanding voice though but at the same time she can be quite gentle; no wonder many artist depict her in an apron, she's surprisingly the motherly type.

>>11424018
Some unfortunate star placement there.

>>11424066
I like Nagato for her gap moe. It's also pretty sexy for a proud member of the big seven to be reduced to a blushing schoolgirl. Of course I have no idea if this is reflected in her actual lines because no matter how hard I try I can't land her. I've got three of her sister and still no sign.

Hey that anon looking for Teitoku no Natsuyasumi, here's some good news:
https://twitter.com/melon_akiba/status/379897165448884224

It will be available at Melon Books Akihabara Store tomorrow.
I'm sure it will sold out very quickly, ask you friend to line up in the morning if you really want it.

>>11424093
Last Sister Syndrome. The probability of getting the final ship of a series dropped drastically once you collect all but one. We might as well call it the Sendai/Haruna/Kirishima syndrome.

I'm doing that right now, via expeditions since she remodels at such low level, but I feel a little bad doing that, it kinda feels like they're cattle...

daily dose

>>11424232
I've leveled ships for equipment then never use them again. I've used ships as modernization materials for my ship daughters. I've used ships as tanks and make them soak up damage so my ship daughters don't have to. I've sank ships because I can't be bothered to repair them. I've become a monster, all in the name of love and progress.

Seems similiar with the atwiki one. Though hell, getting 3 of them from 100+ crafts is just terrifying.

Anyone have issue with this quest? I am quite sure I got the right ships there to complete it..

>>11424343
Trying adding a destroyer.

>>11424343
You have to have 6 ship. The other ship could be anything, as long as her Speed is 高速.

>>11424343
You need to add one more fast ship, and dont forget the sortie quest after this

>>11424346
>>11424347
Thanks!
>>11424349
Are you referring to B16 quest? Im lacking in Kinugasa atm, is there a place to hunt for her?

why

>>11424374
Probably because you can't into lottery?
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Tutorial:_How_to_Register

>>11424374
Read the tutorial in wikia, see OP.

Does the gauge in 4-4 recover over time?
Please tell me it doesn't.

Today the compass in 2-4 is trolling me hard, I fear I won't even get a chance at beating the boss, I'm fearing I'll reach LV.50 (currently 39) before I clear that stage...

>>11424394
Try praying to RNG god.

>>11424394
My main fleet is nearing all 50s with Akagi already a level 50. They started at 27~30s~38(Akagi).

>>11424322
Superior.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm21638245

>>11424066
Nagato's midriff is more sexy in my opinion.

>>11424405
My Akagi is at 61 and Chiyoda at 57. The BBs that I'm taking with me at the 2-4 boss are 39 39 and 30 respectively. Kitakami is at 37 and I'm gonna bring her to 50 before we go try the compass to go to the boss

>>11424405
And... did you beat 2-4 already?
>>11424410
So I'm not alone in this messy endeavour...

>>11424410
Heading east isn't going to happen all the time. Better take the opportunity to challenge the boss whenever you can arrive there with everyone on green condition.

>>11424412
No_

We're forever heading west.

>>11424413
Just to ensure that nobody won't get sunk, I'm not gonna give it a go until the BBs designated to do the slugging is at their 40s and until Kitakami gets remodeled again at 50 because I don't wanna lose a ship again; the loss of my Inazuma is too much for me already

>>11424422
Go in full sparkling and once you finished, give them a rest so that they could recover. Just relax and take it at your own pace. At least that's what I'm doing now.

>>11424422
the end justifies the means

>>11424420
Nothing beats ending up in area P, just south of the boss, like a pair of attempts ago.
>>11424433
This could be a good idea, right now I give up when my ships become yellow but I know that it's dangerous.
>>11424440
"A victory won through dishonest means is no victory at all".

>>11424433
Sometimes, there's this lucky RNG roll for the enemy since the day Inazuma was sunk and it was just her first sortie for that day.
But yeah I'm not going in unless they meet the level requirement I set and are sparkling.

>>11424447
>right now I give up when my ships become yellow but I know that it's dangerous.
personally i think that's not dangerous.
in fact, repairing while the ship only has small/minor damage is a waste of bucket.

>>11424477
Not him, but I don't use buckets for minor damages. It can take hours though on high level ships but I can afford to wait.

Well that was unexpected.
400/30/600/30 build.

Okaeri Kunugasa-san.

>>11424477
What, you don't love your daughters enough to let them take the long rest that they deserve? Having 4 docks make that easy.

>>11424477
The conditions for getting girls sank are shady enough to make me cautious about pushing after I reach yellow damage.
>in fact, repairing while the ship only has small/minor damage is a waste of bucket.
I can wait one/two hours, usually I use buckets only for longer repairs, but I can also just call it a day and let them repair while I sleep.

>>11423911
if leveled, even soryu trumps chitose/chiyoda.
note that this is comparing top of the cvl and the lowest of cv.

cvl to cv is like ca to bb, there's simply no advantage in using the light version.

>>11424542
They can hit subs
Although this can be viewed as both an advantage and a disadvantage.

>>11424542
I might replace Chiyoda some time since Soryuu is still underleveled. And I don't think I can wait that long to get Soryuu to level 50. Even if she farms all the MVPs, by then my fleet would be by its mid 40s and Akagi might be at 70 already at that point and I think it's more than enough to defeat 2-4 boss since I'm still stuck there.

>>11424542
In my fleet my Junyou often steals MVP from CVs like Kaga or Akagi, even with similiar setup and level.

I don't think the difference between CV and CVL is that big.

>>11424562
Isn't it mostly a difference in durability? They carry more aircrafts so they can afford to lose more (and eat more bauxite, obese gluttons).

>>11424576
Durability in terms of amount of planes and defense, yes. Though I think those issues are for lesser tier of CVL like RJ or Shouhou. For Chitose-class and Hiyou-class, their performance is comparable to CV.

>>11424562
it's all about rng. cvs bigger number's purpose is to skew the probability more to your side.
you can argue that junyo get 100 mvp out of 100 battle but it doesn't change the fact that kaga have bigger chance due to her firepower.
the same goes for every other stat. there's no stat where a cvl trumps a cv, yes, even evade. hiryuu is the carrier with the highest evade and she's a cv.

>>11424596
>Shouhou
A low speed carrier that can only carry nineteen ships in two slots is ludicrous, even if it does get less awful after remodel.

Then again, she was the first commissioned aircraft carrier, ever, and one of the only carriers to survive the war (by seeing no notable combat action whatsoever, but that's not the point), so she does get a decent luck stat out of it.

>>11424627
>Shohou
>one of the only carriers to survive the war
I thought she was the first carrier to have been sunk during the war?

>>11424627
You're confusing Shoho with Hosho, Shoho has 3 slots and she's fast. But Hosho is the best waifu ever which is more than enough to warrant her a place in my training fleet.

>>11424562
I got my Souryuu around the time I unlocked 2-4. 2-4 was so hard that Souryuu was 54 by the time I finished it. Akagi was 61 or so.

Just saying you do have have Souryuu as an option, you're not going anywhere soon.

>>11424632
She really pulls my heart strings whenever she says that cliched line of a wife welcoming her husband home.

>>11424632
Oh, fuck. I'd blame it on IJN right-to-left conventions but that would be a blatant cop-out.

>But Hosho is the best waifu ever which is more than enough to warrant her a place in my training fleet.
"You've worked hard. Would you like dinner? Or a bath? Or... fufufu, just kidding."

ah, it hurts ;_;

>>11424652
Under the belt? Try loosening it a little. Seriously, I find her really arousing.

This game really needs to unlink the secretary role from the flagship spot and just let players assign ships to be their secretaries.

>>11424663
No, no, that's the wrong order. We have to get married first.

>>11424673
It doesn't really make sense for her to announce night combat if she's not at the battle.

Just get her up to level ninety and you can take her anywhere, even if she is a forty-plane carrier or capped at 50 armor..

>>11424675
Done, now let's generate a new generation of carriers for the Empire.

So when do you usually remodel your ship? My BBs have 4 stars of affection under their name already but I think there's still one star left, right?

>>11424683
She pulls teitoku around on a wakeboard while he shouts commands and she relays them to the other girls.

>>11424696
When she reaches minimum level requirement, I keep sending them to sorties and when they get damaged to yellow I get free repair/supply for remodeling.

>>11424696
When their fuel/ammo/etc is low so that I get a free refill. Sparkles are erased but a 1-1 solo solves that.

Missing Nagato, Kaga, Hiryuu, Shoukaku, Kinugasa, Yukikaze. Does 400/100/600/300 once a day every Fay sound like a good idea for still being able to save up resources on the side? I'm sure you admirals are all better resource bankers than myself.

>>11424704
>>11424705
I actually wanted to save up for stats so those stats that could not be boosted would be able to help in the long run but I guess it's about time.

>>11424710
I wasted most of my resources to craft Kongou until I man up and decided to farm for her. If your daily crafting is not working, don't bother. Train your fleet, buff your level, unlock new maps and farm. Craft once in a while if you're feeling lucky because I suspect there's an inbuilt cooldown period between the player's 'lucky crafts'.

Is it actually proven that modernization before remodel points are not lost after remodeling?

>>11424724
Pretty sure it's not. I think it's mentioned in the JP wiki.

And oh god, why do I remodel all of my ships at one go? My ammo was halved as it was before.

Admiral level 60, still no Haruna or KTKM. I'm missing a few others too but these ones are really starting to get to me, I could really use that 4th fleet.

Compass keeps sending me north in 3-2, is this normal?

>>11424759
You can only go to the boss with 6 destroyers, so yes that's normal.

>>11424762
You can go with any number of destroyer(s)

>>11424782
You can go with only one destroyer

>>11424821
Oh god what

>>11424834
Dedication, teitoku, dedication.

>>11424394
I cleared 2-4 when I'm level 70, get over it. I like to play it slow.

>>11424854
I cleared it when I was 42 myself. Like people stated in previous threads, there is no rush. This is mostly a single player-ish experience. As long as you are leveling your ships properly you'll be prepared

>>11424723
You shouldn't worry too much about those extra stats from late remodelling.　They'll eventually get to their stat caps anyway.　Dodge and detection can be increased by levels.

What do you guys run on your BBs?

Nagato-class: 46cm, AP shell, 15.5cm, 32/14 radar (32 in Mutsu's case)
Kongou-class: 46cm, 41/46cm (AA shell for when I'm expecting lots of carriers), 15.5cm, 14 radar

This is what I'm aiming for.

>>11424871
Does late remodelling actually gimp the stats gained by lv99 or are there actually enough levels to max out everything before lv99?

>All those chinese translated doujin in exhentai
It's really popular in China, isn't it?

>>11424899
Chinese just gets all the doujins, a lot of stuff coming out of C84 they got their hands on it first

>>11424899
They have more people.

The only Chinese doujin I can think of is NEKO WORKs.

Do you /a/nons mean doujinshi?

>>11424938
What is doujinshi?
Do you mean 同人誌?

>>11424925
>They have more people.
Actually the translations are in traditional Chinese, i.e. Taiwanese folks, I just showed them to a Chinese friend.

>>11424938
>>11424950
Yes. But for whatever reason, doujinshi is shortened to doujin by some (non-Japanese).

>>11424821
sasuga Ikazuchi

I've heard quite a bit about how hard 3-4 is, is it really that bad? I haven't touched anywhere past 3-2 since I need to level destroyers still, but I'm almost done with 4-4 and only need one more kill of the boss to actually finish it and would like to know how 3-4 compares to it.

>>11425217
Probably the same.

>>11425217
4-4 is very easy (hardest part is beating the compass)
You can compare 3-4 to the frustration of 2-4 (long map and tough opponents)

>>11425291
do you have any good fleet composition (=route) to advise for 4-3/4 ? I'm a bit lost on the wikiwiki route condition, and even out route shortness and fleet power..

That feeling when the only ship remaining of the enemy fleet is a elite flagship and you think "I really want that S rank but going into night combat right now would be really stupid" but instead decide "maybe I'll crit it and it'll die" and then you miss and it sends your best carrier to the docks for ten hours.

>>11425331
>ah ha, only one CA left
>enter night battle
>combo crit my full health Kongo to red
>mfw

What will happen if we keep going when the ammo supply is empty? How about fuel?

>>11425384
You can't. The game grays out the button and prevents you from going on sortie.

What, you thought the game would explode or something?

Thanks Japan. Now I'm clicking cookies while waiting for my daughters to recover.

Well after stalling for all this time I ended up beating 3-2 on my second try (the first I got whirlpool then steel and refreshed). Got 1 BB and two CA, the BB missed both shots but a CA critted Shimakaze, decided to keep going figuring the boss stuff is too weak to kill her. That could have been bad news since I forgot about only 1 round of artillery (due to no BBs) and the top two enemy ships were able to fire torpedoes (which critted Shiranui down to 2 hp instead of sinking Shimakaze). Well, I was due some luck anyway; Shouhou vs. Zuihou build count just went up to 14 to 0 today.

Just realized I goofed though by not knocking out the first couple sortie dailies first, could have gotten supply ship kills out of the way in that boss fight.

>>11425413
i feel empty

compass never bring me to 4-3 boss. and i cant pass 3-4 watchdog. sigh

>>11425405
No i mean if you kept getting into night battle and get those whirlwinds that eats up 3 supplies instead of 2.

>>11425413

What formation should I be using if I have Ooi + Kitakami, and how do I get this 甲標的　甲 I keep hearing about?

I'm only T-level 9 and remodeled them without knowing, and now I don't know what to do with them.

>>11425557
Chitose/Chiyoda remodel at level 12. Or crafting from 46cm recipe byproduct.

>>11425557
big craft by-product (not advised at your level) or chitose class upgrade equip (12 iirc).
I Don't know much about formation effect on (pre-emptive) torpedo strikes, but don't hesitate to make them tag along whenever you can, they become monster after second remodel at lv50 - useful for the time you'll get to 2-4.

>>11425557
Chitose/Chiyoda remodel at level 12. Or crafting from 46cm recipe (10/300/250/10) byproduct.

>>11425557
These midget submarines are the stock equipment of Chiyoda A and Chitose A (remodel at level 12). You get two of them per remodel. That's the easiest way to get them, I believe.

>>11425585
>>11425587
Got it, thanks.

>>11425413
>>11425448
>>11425468
Is there some sort of context for this?

>>11425604
http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/

>>11425611
Well yeah, but how is it related to the point that Tenryu's doing it too?

>>11425557
Don't use formations like double column and horizontal for Ooi and Kitakami. These formations will most likely make your torpedos miss and deal low damage if it hits.

>>11425604
Screenshots/a parody of Cookie Clicker, one of these newfangled games that got strangely popular out of nowhere. Since Tenryu's main job is baking fuel and steel for her comrades day in and day out, she was the ideal choice for a parody.

That said, I'm still waiting for a K-COL: Terror from the Deep parody.

>>11425615
Are you saying you didn't played CookieClicker while playing Kancolle?

>>11425612
I actually thought about using those to help survive long enough to actually use the torpedos/get to the night battle.

>>11425612
I use double line for virtually any battle that doesn't involve subs (horizontal line) or a tough boss (vertical line). Kitakami misses the flagship CLs almost all the time (but so do my BBs), but reliably one-shots nearly everything else except flagship BBs or CVs. Horizontal line does make her miss destroyers constantly though.

I seriously hate flagship CLs now, you get them almost every battle on maps 3 and 4 it seems, and my ships love to target them first and miss repeatedly.

>>11425689
Well, there might be a point in where the debuff it gets from the formation gets totally outclassed by her torpedo stat. I haven't even used my Kitakami yet but I do know about her insane torpedo stat.

Oh, lovely. I wound up at 99 ships after a supply fleet run of 4-2, then forgot to clear out space. So of course my next 4-2 run I get boss, which drops nothing as I maxed out with a Hiei drop the battle before. I already have a zillion lvl 1 BBs sitting around and nothing to do with them, I keep scrapping CAs and CLs and DDs as I get them but I can barely keep space free as the BBs pile up.

Now all I can imagine is that the boss would have dropped Zuihou if I had a spare space, but since I screwed up now I'll never get her again ;_;

>>11425712
She's still missing almost every shot at level 84 with 175 torp stats in horizontal formation, so I don't think that point will ever be reached.
I'm also doubting torpedo stat helping with accuracy.

>>11425783
> scrapping
that hurts to hear, admiral.

>>11425785
I think it does, I still haven't reached the final remodelling but I followed the suggestion of increasing their torpedo stats and they've become definitely more accurate.
>>11425783
It could be time to hate some money.

At least that empty run resulted in almost no damage so I immediately sortied again, get boss, and well, she's not Zuihou but she is one of the few I was still missing.

>>11425789
Not much else to do when I haven't remodeled a ship for ages and my main ships are all maxed out. And the only ships likely to remodel anytime soon are expedition ships (Naka and Nagatsuki at 19).

>>11425794
Not planning on spending any money ever on this, especially not with all the extra shit you have to go through. I'll just have to start scrapping BBs before long.

>>11425869
> especially not with all the extra shit you have to go through. I'll just have to start scrapping BBs before long.
it's as easy as simply using your gaijin credit card now.

> Not much else to do when I haven't remodeled a ship for ages and my main ships are all maxed out. And the only ships likely to remodel anytime soon are expedition ships (Naka and Nagatsuki at 19).
Ah. I prefer to level up a lot of secondary ships as well, so I always have someone to modernize.

>>11425869
>Not planning on spending any money ever on this, especially not with all the extra shit you have to go through.
The new system posted some days ago, which you can find in OP's pastebin, is quite straightforward.

>>11425869
Sweet Mary mother of God, the 15th time's a charm. On a whim I decided to do just one more carrier build, get a 2:40, instant build, it's gonna be Shouhou #15, right? Holy shit am I seeing things, that's not Shouhou!

Instead, after nearly 2 months I finally get to meet my shipfu, she's now sitting here as a lvl 1 secretary surrounded by a lvl 50-60 fleet. Now for the fun of trying to level her fast, which won't be happening now with impending maintenance and a backlog of 8 important ships in need of repairs.

>>11425892
It's a dollar per dock space. That's actually sort of unreasonable.

Didn't stop me from buying an extra ten.

>>11425458
damage penalty or something.

>>11424744
oh, another member of no-haruna and no-KTKM club.
i thought i was the only one.

>>11425917
Grats admiral. You deserve her. I'm sure you'll treat her well without me mentioning it. (ﾉ´ｰ`)ﾉ☆

Meanwhile, still no Hiryuu for me after all those 2-3, area 4, 300/30/400/300 and 300/30/600/400 builds.

>>11425936
Hiryuu is the only full carrier I've ever picked up or crafted.

The RNG gods make fools of us all.

>>11425331
going to night battle is not worth the damage your ship will receive. the only exception are practice battle and boss battle.

>>11425783
using 3rd party kancolle program like logbook helps in tracking your collection of kanmusu, you might want that.

After countless days trying to complete my CV collections (Shoukaku sisters + Zuihou + Hiyuu missing), the RNG goddess smiled upon me with a 6hrs result on 300/30/400/300.
Got a crapload of CVL I don't care about, Souryuu, Kaga and even an extra Akagi before that.

God I love her, such a great wife-material.
*Goes back farming 4-2 to remodel Ooicchi and Kitakami-sama*

So much yuri loving in this pack.
詰（百合 | けのか [pixiv] http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=38567908

>>11425957
She's certainly a cruel mistress.

>>11425936
One thing's for sure, she is never going in any slot other than flagship (of course I need her there to level faster anyway)

Oh it's so nice listening to her begging me to go back to work.

>>11425970
I wonder how I would have felt about Shoukaku if I actually got her early enough in the game to use her. By the time I finally built her I only cared about getting Zuihou and for gameplay purposes, Zuikaku; with Kaga and Akagi already over level 50 I didn't have any use for another normal luck carrier. She's just been sitting there with Soryuu at lvl 2 or 3 ;_;

>>11425905
eh, I completely missed that when it happened, my eyes automatically skipped past every post discussing payment methods when I would catch up on a thread. Now it's slightly more tempting, but I still don't hate money enough.

>>11425970
At least I can finally say goodbye to 4-2 now, Yukikaze and Zuihou were all I needed from there. Well, after I finish the 12 boss kill weekly anyway; should be done soon since I beat it 5 times today. Now I can finally focus on clearing the remaining maps.

Maintenance will start in one hour, prepare you long expedition and don't forget, take your girl to bath !

Friendly reminder that maintenance starts in 1 hour and lasts for 6 hours.

Does sparkling a girl in 1-1 require only the first battle or does it need a full run?

Holy shit, that was my worst practice battle in a long time. I thought my opponent had no carriers and sent Zuihou and Chiyoda without any fighters, turned out I managed to overlook a 65 Akagi, goodbye bauxite.

>>11426121
Full run. With the increase in fatigue when you sortie, you need two MVPs to actually improve her condition, just one battle will result in a slight increase in fatigue. It doesn't matter if you lose the boss battle, just getting that second MVP is what counts.

Incoming ramble.

You know, admirals, sometimes I wonder why I'm not just satisfied with what I have. I mean, I know getting Zuikaku was a good thing--she has significantly more longevity than Souryuu...and the former can hold as many planes stock as the latter can fully upgraded. I know Zuikaku's art style is more exciting to me. But man, that Sumire Uesaka voice...I miss it. I regret putting her on the bench.

This got me thinking about how much I value my shipfus for the enjoyment they bring versus how much they'll help me in higher-level stages. I look down the road and see myself busting my ass for Musashi or Shinano if the devs announce her, but in a game no real endpoint, will it be worth it for me? I suppose I'll just have to keep catching 'em all and find out.

That said, may I poll you admirals for how much you like Kaga? She seems like she'd be replacing Akagi. And what about Nagato? I have Mutsu and her endurance seems to vary wildly above and below the Kongou sisters in comparison--she routinely takes around 10 damage even with the slightest nick from enemy CLs and I'm starting to believe the luck stat has a factor in actual numbers in damage taken.

On the other hand, Mutsu's fire safety gimmick is starting to grow on me and I'm terrified my previous fandom of the Kongou sisters is going to be replaced by dem midriffs. Just not enough space in the A-team, you know?

Like mentioned in the previous thread, can't hold all the shipdaughters. Help. ;_;

>>11426121
>>11426165
Goddamnit, now I know how everyone gets full sparkles before long expeditions. Missed out on so much resources, going to have to steal this sekrit club method from you guys. Thanks.

>>11426182
>Like mentioned in the previous thread, can't hold all the shipdaughters. Help. ;_;
You can always take your time and level all the kanmusu you want. The next event isn't coming for a while, so once you get your A-team to 60s, you can start leveling other daughters.

>Uesaka
She's excellent. I love her as well.

>Kaga
Not too much difference between her, Akagi and Shoukaku, to be honest. Go with whomever you find the most appealing.

>>11426182
>Kaga
She's incredibly terse and boring to have around, but holy shit look at all the planes she can carry, even when compared to Akagi.

>>11426182
For Kaga and Nagato, I can't say much. Kaga & Akagi are the only CVs I have, and I still don't have Nagato yet ;_;

But yeah, can't hold all the kanmusume. I'm still keeping every type of ships in my dock. With addition of Zuihou and Houshou few days ago, that leaves me with only 3 spaces left ;_;

When the heck are they going to make a TV anime of out this, anyway?

>>11426225
After Touhou anime.

>>11426225
I don't actually want one. Think of all the newfags who will stream in here and ask every stupid question without checking the wiki, all over again.

Finally got her.

Now I need to work on 9-kita class to get 5x torpedos for cute subs

>>11426230
At least the wiki won't be orange by the end of tomorrow.

>>11426182
Here's my mindset: Is she cute? Yes? She's going into the fleet. Is she cute but not as useful as another ship you could have put in? She's still going into the main fleet. I came here to play with my ship daughters and waifus. Stats don't matter that much to me. I'm still at the point where Yamashiro is still in my a branch of my main fleet despite the other BBs being better.

I like Kaga but I really like Zuikaku better. It's just a coincidence that both of them have pretty damn good stats. I just stick them both in the same fleet hoping that one day there will be a skit of two of them talking back to each other while in battle. It's kinda like how I stick Kitakami and Abukuma in the same sorties. I always stick the Akatsuki sisters together, though I'm sure everyone does this. In rare cases where I need to, Tenryuu will always be with Shiranui. My expedition ships are by no means resource efficient. I just stuff some cute ships I like together with what's necessary to succesfully complete the expedition and they're off. Nagato is beautiful. Mutsu just looks weird to me. Of the Kongou sisters, I only like Haruna and Kongou.

If you still feel that there's a problem, I think it's time for you to start hating money so you can keep all your ship daughters and waifus.

>>11426205
Good points. Your advice is appreciated.

>>11426216
Kinda of like Hyuuga vs. Ise in terms of attitude, huh.
And yeah, I noticed that 46-plane slot could probably turn encounters with carrier groups into no-fly zones if I filled it with my Reppus. There was a pretty good book of her recently on exhentai too, and it made me quite undecided about her rather than simply indifferent.

>>11426218
I think we've found Kadokawa Games' business model for this franchise. ;_;

>>11426225
You'll have to make do with this anime for now:
http://youtu.be/4I9zfuf3bbQ

Seriously, I wonder if they decided to produce that anime because of KanColle's popularity or if it was just a coincidence.

>>11426287
It had a fanbase in /ak/.

>>11426287
I'd say coincicdence. The first announcement of Arpeggio anime was in May, while the game started around late April.

i guess its see you in a few hours my shipdaughters

What's the best way for training destroyers for 3-2

>>11426244
No problem at all, and sometimes I really feel like I'm missing out when I don't do some of that (I especially like the Kitakami-Abukuma minor mention and can't believe I still haven't sortied them together).

Yamashiro is the quirkiest imoutoship and I'm silently rooting for her for October's update if that's what it is, even though I really expect a late-war mod of one of the others, or heck, the introduction of 50.8cm (20-inch) guns could be what it is.

I honestly have plenty of space in my harbor for the kanmusu I like, but the issue I'm tackling more is why I can't have a larger A-team to show my love for them all equally. It's terrible, I know.

>>11426182
I haven't been able to hold them for ages. I have around twenty ships I'd like to get into the high levels together. There just isn't enough time in the day to level them all. At this point I can probably field four combat-ready fleets of girls I want to bring into high level together.

>>11426312
>I can't have a larger A-team to show my love for them all equally.
You could have the opposite problem, where your A-team is around thirty ships big and as a result they're all in their twenties (besides the MVP-thieving carriers and battleships) even though all admirals of comparable level have their fleets in the sixties.

Also you don't get to know the girls well enough like that.

>changed my mind about hating money and decided to hate just a little bit so I can repair more ships during maintenance
>error message about too much congestion on the site

Goddammit, I have so many damaged ships piled up

>>11426182
Early in the game I was choosing ships based on which ones I liked, or simply on what few ships I had available. Kaga was my first regular carrier, so using her was a no-brainer, Mutsu was my first BB so likewise there (and I've mentioned in previous threads how she slowly grew on me until she almost became my shipfu in Zuihou's absence). My daughter Inazuma was my flagship all the way until lvl 35 or so even though she was useless outside of night combat.

But eventually as I got into 2-4 and the event maps I wound up only caring about how useful they are. CAs and unlucky sisters get benched, only the torpedo cruisers and ASW specialists make the cut among CLs, new carriers get ignored except for lucky Hiryuu (who has now joined a rotation with Kaga and Akagi) and Zuikaku if I actually could get her. Even Mutsu is starting to see the bench a lot more despite being my highest level ship, as the Kongous are way more efficient (If I could actually get Nagato I'd want to use her because of her luck, but getting her caught up on levels would be a pain).

About the only choices I've made lately based on favoritism and not practicality are Zuihou (of course) and putting Hatsuharu among my 6 destroyers for 3-2 (with the others being my high level Inazuma, Shimakaze, and the 3 common Kagerous). Of course for that last it hardly mattered which destroyers I used anyway.

Speaking of which, I practically forgot about my new Yukikaze in my joy of acquiring Zuihou, sorry Yukikaze ;_; But goddamn she is already so much better a daughter than Shimakaze and her "Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!" and "gotta go fast".

Should I give the remodeled Fuso sisters any planes at all, or continue treating them like BBs?

>>11426358
They can only carry seaplanes, which IMO are worthless in higher levels. I have recon all done by a specialized plane on my main Carrier, so I just put a bunch of guns on them.

>>11426358
Treat her as BB till M6A (top ranker rewards) will be available to craft.
It'll require 200 baux for each attempt though.

>>11426400
That plane is for AV and CV?

>>11426452
It is a seaplane, so battle-carrier (?) can carry them.

I say, there's an angel in my office.

>>11426400
Goddamn, Seiran's way better than Suisei model 12. I wonder if there's gonna be an S holo bomber as well.

>>11426464
Angel, you say?

It's a seaplane, so it should be seaplane motherships and aviation battleships only. In code that's AVs and BBCVs.

>>11426535
Oh, and it also means upgraded Mogami-class and which ever submarine-chan has the seaplane launcher.

>>11426535
That's initially for submarines, right?

List of updates, need corrections

-I-168 and I-58 as normal drops (location?)
-5-1 and 5-2 needs completion of 3rd and 4th map
-Shoukaku, Zuikaku, 2 new destroyers drop from 5-1 & 5-2
-support fleet usable in 5th map
-improved night battle capability of heavy cruisers
-update for Natori-kai

800,000 registered teitokus now, jesus.

>>11426577
Add two additional pieces of furniture to the list, I think.

>>11426577
>Natori
why? she's like the most unused CL ever.

>>11426577

i168, i58 obtainable as drops on normal maps.
Open new area 5-1 and 5-2. Finish 3-4 and 4-4 to enter.
Shoukaku, Zuikaku, two new DDs on map 5.
You can use support fleets on map 5.
Two free furniture include a tapestry to celebrate 800k accounts.

Improved night-battle stats of CAs and their varied ships.

Slight graphical changes on Natori-kai.

>>11426659

I already did. Now please join my fleet.

>>11426730
Kancolle messed it up.

>>11425921
Isn't it $10?

>>11426747
$10 for 10 slots, so $1 per slot.

>>11426747
1000￥/$10 for a set of 10 dock spaces, so 100￥/$1 per dock space.

>>11426757
>>11426761
Wasn't the expansion limit set on 150 ships? Did they increase it?

>>11426786
Yes. You have to buy five of them, though.

I only spent five dollars on mine because of bonus points but now I feel bad because I could have bought an extra dock with that.

But my OCD won't let me scrap unique ships and having to modernize every other sortie was getting to be a pain.

Is one of the two moon wikis better than the other, and is the kancolle database actually useful?

Also where do I find this 'wallpaper'?

>>11426788
Actually I think I was misunderstanding something in those posts, I need some caffeine.
>I only spent five dollars on mine because of bonus points but now I feel bad because I could have bought an extra dock with that.
Well, I did the same but I don't really care about it, right now I have no issues with the docks, I just needed some more space to collect more duplicates and use them "more efficiently". When the time will come I'll expand my docks progressively.

what does weapon range affect? What's general recommendation on equipment?

>>11426790
Just use both? They both provide useful information. I only have the expedition chart on that wallpaper. Those development/building charts are probably just an image version of what you can find on the Japanese wikis.

>>11426796
Range affects turn order the highers its range that faster that unit gets to attack in battle. For equipment, check the Japanese wikis.

>>11426788
Do they accept debit cards? I don't have a credit card.

>>11426790
I prefer wikiwiki because of its look, and because it seems more thorough. There's enough conflicting information on some pages to have to pick a side, but usually they're consistent enough to use one over the other.

>>11426809
Nevermind, it worked.

>>11426982
Yup. Just like Isuzu

>>11426956
Any threatening flagship enemies?

>>11426988
There's at least 1 flagship BB each node except the one before the boss. I'd say it's a little bit harder than 3-3

新海域「南方海域」へ進出される提督の皆さんへ 【5-1】「南方海域進出作戦」及び【5-2】「珊瑚諸島沖海戦」共に、それぞれ【艦隊編成】によって、航路をある程度制御することが可能です。また【5-2】はプチ決戦仕様となっており、海域戦力ゲージが存在します(自然回復は無し)。

Boss gauge in 5-2 and seems like the route taken on both 5-1 and 5-2 can be controlled by fleet organizations to some degree like previous maps.

just got 2 BBs , I think the patch fixed my luck

>>11427022
Heavy cruisers (and other ships of the class) have had their firepower, evasion, and accuracy improved in night combat. In particular, 20.3 (and other guns of the class) have been improved.

Do not trust this translation.

Anybody else using this thing? It looks pretty useful as far as timers/tools go.

Please tell the 3-4 battleships to stop critting me.

Please.

>>11427077
i am.
it is useful but the proxy provided is a bit shitty.

Hi a few days back, I was asked for advice and ppl suggest me to get Akagi (much appreciated).

However, I just picked up a Hyuuga. My goal now is to punch through 2-4 boss. Is it advisable to swap anyone out for Hyuuga?

>>11427098
Maybe Maya, if you have enough big guns to outfit Hyuuga. But then you'll have to spend some time training her up too.

>>11427098
If you're willing to level, sure. But with the recent patch of buffing heavy cruiser, I think the team is quite decent. Oh, and you should either swapped your CVL for a regular CV or max out her armour.

>>11427098
Honestly I'm not sure. You may want to swap out Maya, but her AA stat is quite awesome. If you recently got Hyuuga, I don't think you need to swap anyone.

The story may be different if you got Kongou-class, instead.

>>11427098
What you already have should be fine to get through 2-4. Maybe it might be a good idea to swap out your Maya for Hyuuga, though I don't think it's worth the time to level your new Hyuuga to swap it out with the Maya. Besides, heavy cruisers now get a bonus during the night battle in the new update that just came in today anyways.

The only boss you should be worrying about in 2-4 is the COMPASS

Today or tomorrow I'm going to blow 30 craft points on 100/300/250/10.

I really need those turbines.

>>11427059
Oh, it's the one where both sides gave up on that whole "coordinated assault" business and just went Rambo on each other. Clearly listening to orders is for lesser men and you should drop your rendezvous with other ships to run straight into enemy territory. Also, if your officer tells you to retreat from potential American cruisers, you should dive straight into them while screaming "TORPEDOES FOR THE TORPEDO GOD! SHIPWRECKS FOR THE SHIPWRECK THRONE!"

Is there any chart of Chitose and Chiyoda remodelling? I'm still getting confused of what should I do to them.

RNG Goddess is smiling upon me today.
Abukuma's in my list of Last Ship/Sister Syndrome.

>>11427164
Right now I pretty much only know her as the girl who gets rolled over in those cut-and-paste skits.

>>11427161
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Chiyoda
decide it for yourself.
skip the level 15 remodel until level 50

>>11427188
So I could reach Kai 2 only if I remodel her at level 50?

It seems Yukikaze recipe also gives you subs.

>>11427202
So 250/30/200/30 ? Time to blow up my steel farm.

Anybody else having trouble getting ingame with the API method? I can play from the browser just fine, but copying my API link to a standalone flash player just leaves me loading forever.

>>11427229
I'm doing perfectly fine. Just open the whole link, including those random numbers.

>>11427193
yes and no, depending on the context.

at lvl 15 remodel, it will transform them from AV to CVL which is a waste early in the game. so just remodel at 10,12, and 50.

also, see >>11423885
and >>11423879

>>11427261
Alright. Thanks, fellow teitoku.

>>11427202
>>11427207
Do we know the time for them?

I don't understand the disliking for the earlier Chitose/Chiyoda remodelling, my Chitose Kai (LV 37) regularly takes MVP beating both my Akagi Kai (LV 43) and Soryu Kai (LV 34).

Has anyone using a debit card received any free points? I successfully registered my debit card, but did not receive bonus points or any certificate in the process. I know that the campaign states credit card, but I got the impression that debit card is eligible for points as well. Should the free points be received instantaneously or is there a process?

>>11427388
And now we know what happens to all those scrapped Naka-chans

>>11427391
You have to redeem them in the screen where you buy points, I successfully did so with my debit card.

its not necessary for such horror, but okay.jpg

I did it! I did it before reaching lv50, I cleared 2-4! I only got A ranking against the boss but I don't care. Any advice for area 3?
>>11427426
I'm referring to the ポイント購入 button which you find in the game's page, it's only in Japanese afaik.
>>11427429
It's exactly necessary because of it.

>>11427454
Pretty much you could run through 3-1 with your 2-4 fleet. The problem is the 3-2, but well, nice farming spot.

How's your fleet for 2-4?

>>11427454

Got it, thanks fellow teitoku!

God damn, it feels so good to just go on a feeding frenzy when a ship reaches target remodel level. I've been struggling with 99/100 for so long trying to keep all the good stat gain ones.

It's pretty heavy on the bauxite... 2 CV, 1 CVL and 3 fast BBs, I'm going to remove one CV for the time being but I'm unsure about the substitute (it should be Haruna but she keeps hating me).
>>11427475
You're welcome.

To the anon who said I could probably clear up to 2-4 last thread, I just cleared 2-2 on first try, going to try 2-3 when I get my ships repaired

what's the correct order for aircrafts in equipments? Put the one with seemingly highest stats on slot with highest number?

>>11427551
Depends. I put fighters on the slot with the highest plane capacity if I wanted air superiority. If I just wanted maximum damage from bombing runs then I put torpedo bombers or dive bombers.

>>11427562
bombing run is the one done after recon, right?

>>11427573
Yes. But what I meant from the bombing runs here>>11427562 include the ones where your carriers attack in general. It was mentioned last time that it's more effective if you put more torpedo planes than dive bomber planes because they said that torpedo planes participate too in the phase where your carriers attack.

Blue planes kill ships dead. Green planes kill planes dead. Take one yellow plane to avoid red-text T message.

>>11427529
My setup is similar to yours when I cleared 2-2, except I'm using CVL. You'll probably need to upgrade your firepower for 2-4 but you should be able to get to 2-3 boss with that fleet.

>>11427593
but I only have greens, reds, and blues ?_? Should I try crafting some or what

>>11427593
>red-text T message
Failed detection? Those are reconnaissance planes, right? I putted one in Akagi's last slot.
>>11427598
Yep, you have to craft them, on the bright side you could end up getting better planes even if you don't get the yellow ones (I got only one and I crafted a LOT of planes, more than anything else).

>>11427562
Is there any benefits for air superiority other than allowing more bombers to attack the enemy ships?

>>11427598
Yellow is recon. The most sought after would be Saiun because it decreases the possibility of crossing the T with you being on the disadvantage.

>>11427607
Crossing the T, except you're the one getting the debuff.

>>11427598
Try crafting the yellow plane called the Saiun. It helps prevents the enemy from "crossing your T" though I don't know but when I had one, I noticed I kept crossing the T of the enemy so yeah it really helps if you have one. Put it on the slot with fewest planes. Recipe is if i remember correctly was 70/90/10/110
>>11427606
It just means fewer bombers will get through to bomb your ships.
>>11427607
Nope it just means your T has been crossed. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossing_the_T

>>11427616
In the wiki it listed as 30/60/10/ 120 for Saiun. Do you also need admiral lv 59 to actually even get the chance to craft one?

>>11427635
Nope. Lv20 should be enough for it. Just make sure you have an aircraft carrier as a secretary.

>>11427635
I followed the ones they said on the thread so it's up to you. And no you really don't need level 59, though it increases the chance of getting one. I got one when I was level 21 with a level 50-ish Akagi as my flagship.

>>11427635
There are few recipes for that. 20/60/10/110 or 70/90/60/110. Just put CV as your carrier and hope RNG benefits you.

>>11427651
as your *flagship

So I never used Kiso before and I found out she's also voiced by Sakura Ayane. This is same voice behind Shimakaze. mfw

Is it worth it?

>>11427719
Yeah, she has higher everything except for atk.

any recommended farming area to prepare for 2-4?

>>11427743
The first spot in 2-4 should be doable enough for farming. Otherwise, 2-2.

>>11427743
Practice matches. Seriously, I'm slapping myself for not heeding the people here pertaining to practice matches. The first three on your match list should be able to give you quite substantial amount of exp provided they are using their main fleet or a high level ship. For the bottom two, use them to achieve sparkling status.

>>11427753
is it possible to do it more than 5 times a day?

>>11427769
2x5, since it's updated 3:00 and 15:00 JST

I want Sazanami so bad. I've been doing 30/30/30/30 crafts everyday for the quest, and farming 1-1 (despite being a level 70 admiral holy shit), but I just can't seem to get that one missing sister of Ushio, Oboro and Akebono. What the fuck Kancolle, just give me that common destroyer already.

>>11427791
no

>>11427791
Last sister syndrome. I've been looking for Ikazuchi ever since I've assembled her sisters since 1-3.

Played for a while now but still couldn't get pass this one
"Deploy a torpedo squadron" - the wiki said

>>11427802
Put one light cruiser as your flagship and stuff the rest with destroyers. Then send them out to battle, not just sit there.

>>11427791
Same situation, but looking for Hibiki here.

Does any rich teitoku have pic related as their wallpaper? I'm thinking if I should buy it or not.

>Practice match
>Enemy's Ashigara surviving onslaught of BB fires in night battle.
And she has only 68 armour points. This is ridiculous.

>>11427817
Here you go, took down some decorations to give better overall view.

>>11427835
Ooi looks like she's holding a teapot or something.

>>11427824
Had a match where every ship of mine trumps the enemy in terms of firepower, level, and equipment. They get the most criticals, I only get to sink one ship. This has got to be the most bullshit RNG I've ever encountered, more so than the RNG in WoT can ever do.

I just got my first BB , Haruna, what is the best way and most economic to grind her level? solo in 1-1 or what?

>>11427876
Set her as flagship and play your highest unlocked maps as normal

>>11427835
Thanks, I'll probably stick to my current wall for now. I wish I hated money enough to actually buy decor fairies. Or at least hope they give away some as prizes for the next event.

>>11427896
You can get one for free by registering credit card to DMM.

Well damn. Gave this a try with 250/30/200/30 and got Shimakaze and I-168 in my only two tries.

I can confirm that 22:00 minutes was indeed the build time for the sub.

Holy shit I must be lucky. I'm going to try it some more, see what else I can get.

>>11428015
I wonder what maps drop it, if any at all

>>11428015
Well, three more tries and nothing interesting. As expected, but still relatively disappointing.

>>11428021
Well, according to >>11426908, they should be drops too. We've just got to find them.

>>11428034
They drop at 2-3 boss and 3-3-1. Don't know which drops where.

Kantai Collection Light Novel announced

http://yaraon.blog109.fc2.com/blog-entry-18738.html

>>11428043
So far the reports are only I-168. Still unknown for I-58

>>11428054
Thanks for good news anon.

Now we just need to wait for KC to become animation in foreseeable future

>>11428066
According to Japanese wiki, I-58 drops at boss in 4-1/4-2.

In 4-3, it has report that drops at normal field - right bottom corner but this needs more reports tho.

>>11428015
who did you use as your secretary ?

Got I-58 with 250/30/250/30, commander lvl59 and secretary as lvl70 kitakami.

Guess 58 and 168 shares same recipe

>>11428015
tried it and got KTKM-sama and Ooi.
i'm happy since its the first time i got it.

>>11428015
What flaship should I use if I want a sub? Destroyer? Cruiser?
