Holy fucking christ /vg/ control your shit.

Guess jannie made this one or something since the other one was clearly first.

So she finally dropped for me today. Can't believe for all the crafting/farming I do, I never got her until I'm t-level 61.

>>11445467
It had "Kamtai" anyways.

>>11445470
My apologies. I typed too fast.

Well, I'm glad multiple people jumped at the chance.

>>11445451
>>11445441

We're getting an update in about a day and a half, right? New CL upgrade, wonder if the DD upgrade's coming too, or if that's just next week.

unlucky sisters upgrade when

>>11445471
She's adorable.

Why is everything this artist does so cute, and why is he such an awful person?

>>11445467
He deleted it himself, by the sound of it.

Barely beat 3-4, it was too risky to go into night battle so I wasn't expecting to win but got a B rank win anyways.

>>11445467
This one wasn't mis-spelled nor "X EDITION:" /vg/ shit. Its the only logical choice.

>>11445477
H-how horrifying

>>11445480
>the level 37 ship with 13 luck is completely unscathed

Please pet your Kongou warmly.

>>11445477
I really, really hate the "Akagi is a cannibal" trope.

>>11445485
It's good to be flagship, don't you know?

>>11445485
She's the flagship. Chances are other ships had protected her.

>>11445477
I highly preferred this artist's take on modernization as "fleet girls giving up their armaments for recycling before being relieved of duty" as opposed to "fleet girls being devoured by other fleet girls with a chopstick while tied to a chair".

>>11445442
Stop eating all my damn bauxite

>>11445480
How is your equipment setup? My BBs are around that level, but I'm still too afraid to clear that map.

>>11445494
>>11445496
THAT's how it works? I didn't see an article describing how it functions on the Japanese wikis so I assumed it's the flagship occasionally protecting other ships.

>>11445519
IIRC that feature was released around 3-4 updates ago. When one ship target a flagship, there's a chance that another ship will protect it and take the damage.

>>11445528
Except that when it was first introduced, no one really knows when is the ship taking hits for the flagship. It was the next update when they added visual animation for it.

Finally got my own beaver today. Now if Shimakaze would show up I can stop building 250/30/200/30 all day.

>>11445518
Mutsu has 2 main cannons, a type 91, and a radar. The rest are the same as my Kongou. I'm rolling for better radars but they're just so damn rare.

>>11445544
6 46cm + 6 radars then. Damn, I'm tempted to start making that Isuzu farm, but I don't want to be a monster ;_;

Beating stage 2-4 with level 1 ships. Where is your RNG god now, anonymous?

>>11445556
Crucified.

And I thought the destroyer team was nuts.

>>11445556
RNG sometimes had this nasty tendency to favor low level ships. I've seen a level 1 CL crit my level 17 DD down to 3 hp.

>>11445556
THERE IS NO GOD

The fact that my level 50+ Kongou classes are still missing/eating crits on 2-2 compared to this fucker enrages me to no end.

>>11445556
Thanks god i got bored of this shit.

>>11445556
>no carrier were met
>2nd node with perfect S
>final boss night battle with 2 red + 1 orange
>Tenryuu

Damn, that's scary.

>>11445573
>>11445569
>>11445574
Isn't it a matter of stacking firepower so that when it hits, it really hurts. 4x torpedo bombers help soften the enemy's positions as well.

>>11445581
I laughed when the flagship comboed Fusou for 8.

>>11445582
>when it hits
That's the problem. When your ship nearly had twice the evasion than the level 1 enemy and had roughly equal firepower and your ship missed and the enemy landed a heavy crit on you, you can really tell that the RNG is bullshit.

>>11445582
My BBs had well over 140 firepower when I ran 2-4. When it hits it only dented the boss.
I only barely scrapped by with a B victory (I think), because on their last round Hiei & Haruna focused fire on one of the 3 BBs and took it down.

>>11445593
Mine had 160 each when they ran on 2-4. Delicious crits were flying whoever they aimed at.

>>11445599
Not everyone has the luxury of owning a Nagato class, anon.

>>11445616
Err, I had only one Nagato Kirishima and Kongo when I ran 2-4 and had 160 for them with 167 for the two as the highest.

>>11445623
Then you must have been real lucky because my Kongou with 2 46cm + yellow gun + radar still misses about half the time.

>>11445630
I ran the 2 sisters with 46cm, 15.5cm then 2 41cm for the remaining slots. I don't know why they kept hitting the BBs hard except the BB flagship where I only managed to get it to 20 hp before the round ends. Though in the night battle, I think it was Kongou or Kirishima who hit her hard with a combo of 46cm and two 41cm fire, sinking her for 160 damage.

Oh my, what a pleasant surprise. Bravely into the future we go.

Although all I can hear is Karen.

>>11445633
Half my fleet was in the red and I rather lose the battle than risk one of my girls dying. So when the sisters miraculously managed to sink one of the BBs right before day battle ended I took my B victory and bailed the fuck out.

Then I fed them ice cream even though none of them were exhausted.

>>11445616
Was this Comptiq feature ever completely scanned?

>>11445616
Why is she so motherly?

>>11445642
I found it on sadpanda today alongside some non-H Kancolle books.
I don't think it has anything to do with the Comtiq mag that was sold out everywhere though.

>>11445644
All the way to 2-4 we only took one hit (Chiyoda for 5 damage) until the final daylight gun duel where the flagship BB who was the only one remaining damaged Nagato but only bringing her to yellow. So I went to night battle saying "Why the hell not?" since the BB was on her last legs so it would be a shame if I didn't sink her already. Good think one of our ships manage to land the first hit during the night battle, preventing anymore damage.
The fuel and ammo I had to replenish was in ridiculous amounts though.

I envy the people that got Nagato before Mutsu. I'm trying to roll for her but all I got is 5 Mutsus.

>>11445658
At least you have Mutsu.

They say an admiral's page 1 is generally a good indication of how lucky he is, and I'm inclined to agree.

>>11445510
I think that is also the semi-official answer. Same for scrapping them.

>>11445662
source?

>>11445658
I have Nagato but I'm trying to roll for Mutsu. I think we are on the same coin, anon.

>>11445666
It's better to get Nagato first since she's harder to get as a drop. Plus she's better because of higher luck.

Its a good day.

>>11445699
>>11445635
Everyday is Kongou day.

>>11445707
Her engrish is really cute. Her VA is Karen's VA from Kiniro right?

>>11445711
yeah Toyama Nao

Is server down for anyone else?

I've been seeing this game pop up all over now. Do you think it will get an anime at this rate?

>>11445732
Not for me.

>>11445736
At this point I'll be more surprised if it doesn't get one by next year.

>>11445732
I got dc'd, but it's working again now.

>>11445737
Isn't a vita game coming over?

>>11445737
Sengoku Collection took 2 years to get an anime adaption.

Then again, Sengoku wasn't remotely as popular as Kantai Collection is. I only found out there was such a thing because I mis-spelled Kentai Collection.

>>11445743
Not the wholly different game, probably just browser to play it in Vita.

>>11445661
Except for Shimakaze that's identical to my own first page, but honestly I don't really care about Nagato and Mutsu...

How much moon do I need to know to play this?

I know it's just her first remodel but I definitely heard her say "thanks" in Russian.

>>11445769
Forgot pic

>>11445769
Well, if you want to confirm it I'm pretty sure their remodel lines are the same as their resupply/equip lines.

>>11445768
Enough to navigate around. Fluff and other information can be found in the JP wiki through google translate.

>>11445768
You can probably figure out everything from trial and error, and deduction.

Knowing moon would help some in the learning process, but really there's not all that many buttons you need to figure out.

For all the in-depth stuff, there's the wikis, but you can just use machine translators for those.

>>11445773
Yeah, I just read the wiki. It was her same line even on her basic model. Now I don't know if it has been like this even before her second remodel was introduced but I could say that was foreshadowing they were going to introduce her second remodel as that Russian destroyer.

>>11445769
Yep, she even says "Урааааа" during night battles before the remodelling, which makes me wonder about Yukikaze and Chinese... anyway you can find all the lines on the Japanese wiki:

under CV・セリフ一覧

Finally \o/

Loaded ships with all blue planes (+saiun) and red cannons

>>11445781
The difficulty of 2-4 tends to lie in compass fuckery or making it to the boss with enough supplies for a fight, rather than having enough raw firepower. Still, guddo jobbu.

>>11445781
idea from here http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm21832746

For some reason this combination always go south route.

>>11445510
>"fleet girls being devoured by other fleet girls with a chopstick while tied to a chair".
I prefer the "relieved of duty" interpretation too, but this is strangely arousing.

video game generals go to /vg/.

>>11445541
Goyacchi is so cute.
Too bad to train her she must be tortured by enemies' depth charge ;_;

Can anyone shed some light as to what I'm doing wrong?

I'm using a VPN with a Japanese address that works and isn't snail-slow.
I logged in on the DMM homepage, launched the app, and have been stuck at server select for hours. I went to sleep with it loading, woke up, and it hasn't changed at all.

Similarly, I took the api link from that page, and launched that separately which also failed to progress past the server select screen. This has all occurred over the course of 18 or so hours, so it seems unlikely that it's traffic issues.

>>11445849
>Can anyone shed some light as to what I'm doing wrong?
Sure, obviously you didn't read this:

thanks

Does ppl have a hard time managing their CVs?
Just running Shokaku and Kaga drops my bauxite to lower than 600 every damn day

>>11445879
For me, not that troublesome. With current Soryuu + Hiryuu, each node usually costs me around 0-20, which is quite acceptable for me.

I just don't use them for practice match, the bauxite spending is much more painful. Minimum is around 50, can be above 100.

A question about Kiso; one of her dialogues go ”なんだ、さっくせんか。” I don't care about the nanda - what's she saying on the second part? And if I hear wrong, can you correct me?

>>11445927
作戦

>>11445927
She's asking for the strategy,tactical planning, whatever you call it. Some of the ships says something like that too like Akagi.

test

>>11445938
>>11445940
Thank you. It's been bugging me. That's all. 'twas the only line I couldn't figure out.

Origins of their names.

>>11445950
Bottom right, why there's Kinu's inset in Tone and Nagara's inset in Kiso?

>>11445823
Well, it's not much of a torture. Depth charges were not very effective in hunting submarines, they were usually dropped by the dozen and still failed to score a hit. There are stories of submarines evading underwater danmaku displays of over 100 depth charges.

But if one got a solid hit in, all hands were lost.

>>11445954
Because Kinu river is a branch of Tone river.
The same goes for Nagara and Kiso.

>>11445961
Huh, interesting. Then I guess the top list is the longest main stem, while the bottom is total length?

Now I could see why the illustrator draws Tone and Chikuma with long leg.

>>11445989
Top is length, bottom is volume/surface area.

>>11445997
Ah, I miss the unit. Thanks.

Wow I really didn't expect to get her

i want to lick that midriff of hers

>>11446059
I tried that the other day. She tastes like honeydew melons.

>>11446059
I love her voice.

>>11446078
>>11446101
Stop making me jealous guys. I want her as well.

Which map should I try to get fucking Haruna? I just went through the whole 4-2 again and I only got TWO Haguro, the first node of 3-2 drops me only silly CA or the occasional CVL, I'm becoming quite depressed...

>>11446059
Funny she was one of the first light cruiser I got when I was a newbie mucking around and doing random builds.

>>11446155
4-2 is still your best bet. The RNG gods may just be displeased at your lack of conviction.

>>11446163
Boss or whole map? Anyway I would be a little more convinced if at least I got some other girl I'm interested into like Kaga, the last nice ones I got (Yukikaze and Shimakaze) were granted to me only after sinking all of my resources into crafting.

Oh dear, Fuso just crafted her second 46cm within 7 tries of 100/300/250/10. She also got a common turbine on first try of the turbine recipe.

These unlucky sisters somehow turned out surprisingly lucky.

Got both Hiei-sama and Kirishima today.
Feels good to have an extra expedition team.

>>11446223
Been having trouble knowing what is the right recipe here.

For 46mm, You mean 10/300/250/10?
http://wikiwiki.jp/kancolle/?%B3%AB%C8%AF

I also dont see Fuso as flagship to make turbine there. All I see there is CV.

Am I looking at the wrong place the whole time?

>>11446261
Both of them are possible for making 46cm, IIRC 100 oil has possibility for turbine compared to 10.

>>11446261
So far I've gotten 3 46cms using Nagato as flagship and using 100/300/250/10. I also got 2 of the strongest turbines using also the same recipe and using 100/251/250/10.

Among all ships I collect so far, Tatsuta's voice is still the most pleasant to hear. Never getting tired hearing her introduction in kanmusume glossary.

>>11446309
She sounds like that long haired girl from C3-bu

>>11446309
She sounds high as fuck.

>>11446159
Same here, admiral. and then I got her killed in 2-4 back when I was new and didn't know stamina drained after every fight and not after coming back to harbor ;_;

>>11446458
Agreed. Yuka Iguchi needs to stay in her lower register, headcrabvoice is grating.

Iguchi plays both Tatsuta and Tenryu.
I'm surprised.

>>11446523
A lot of sister ships are voiced by the same VA.

>>11446534
Yes, but most of them actually sound somewhat like each other.

>>11446523
She's got a pretty big range.

I'm more surprised about Sakura Ayane. I had her pegged for yet another young seiyuu who could only do loli voices, and not very well at that, then she goes ahead and does Nagato.

>>11446579
Kiso as well. Her guttural yelling is the kind of transmutation that turns dicks into diamonds.

How about that Nao Toyama?

Receiving no e-mails here. Is this normal or what.

>>11446627
Obviously it's not normal but we're not your e-mail or dmm.com technical support, I can just suggest you to check your spam folder, wait one hour or so or worse comes to worst try to register with another e-mail from a different provider.

>>11446678
Welcome to the waiting club. I would monitor the threads until news come out that they actually figured out how to do servers properly instead of this daily lottery crap.

Which is to say, that might never actually happen, since the game is so inhumanly popular right now, they must figure they're doing everything right by all accounts. Until then, don't obsess over the game. You start calling people "fellow admirals" and it's kind of a weird, secret clubhouse culture which is weird even for /jp/.

>>11446713
You'll likely be greeted with a picture of a girl being hit on the head by a cat.
Refresh the page after 5-6 minutes, and no earlier.
Repeat as necessary.

If you see the girl holding the cat in front of her face, you lose; try again tomorrow.

It's a stupid system.

>>11446713
Yep.
>>11446714
Man, I registered a pair of weeks ago at the second attempt, it's not that hard to justify a "waiting club".

>>11446714
Most of the thread isn't even /jp/ that is probably why.

Getting in is not actually difficult as it used to be, considering you get increased chances every day you fail. You will usually make within 3 days if you as long as you attend the lottery

>>11446734
>>11446726
To be fair, I stopped trying since like, the second thread we've had of the game, where I think it was a bit harder to get in. I just don't like how it works; I wouldn't mind waiting for a couple of hours or even an afternoon, watching my queue number tick down until I finally got a spot in there. It would be fine because I would know for sure I was on my way to playing the game.

The lottery is frustrating. I understand it's easier now, but it's not fun having to write down a note or keep the timezone on the back of your head, turning on the VPN and hoping I was selected or not. If I weren't, then I have to come back the next day, while the game chews on the back of my head. It's not intuitive. And after that, what if I don't actually like the game? This whole ordeal of reserving a spot for myself is a bit naive if you assume I'm going to enjoy it from minute one.

But hey, maybe I'm just not dedicated enough to have ship daughters, so I'm not really getting it. It would be nice to try the game out though!

Whats the most efficient way to get furniture coins? I got some in the box one time but it feels like it will take forever to get anymore.

>>11446714
Calling each other "fellow players" isn't nearly as fun.

>>11446714
They were looking for the game to have 20,000 players total, not 20,000 new players a day. It can't be helped that they don't scale well.

It's not like they're a "real tech company" anyway, they make fucking browser games.

>>11446793
Paying money.

The daily 10 expedition quest gives you 600 coins.

>>11446793
Just doing expeditions should give you more furniture coins than you care to use unless you're saving up for the scale Nagato.

>>11446802
>>11446811
Thanks you! I will try doing more expeditions.

>>11446817
Just so you know, a lot of the furniture requires you to buy a real money item in order to buy the furniture.
Below the picture in the shop, you'll see an icon of a girl's head and 0 -> 0 with some text beneath it.

Have any of you noticed practice fleets changing before your eyes?

I saw a level 32 Shimakaze by herself and put some guns on my expedition fleet, but by the time I came back, it had been replaced by a level seventy capital ship parade. So then I went and reloaded my main fleet, and in the fifteen seconds that took it had been replaced by a fleet of every ship type, all single digit level.

(I sent my level 20ish expedition fleet and didn't get the S because it was 2:59 JST and there were only four ships in it.)

>>11446836
A veteran admiral had explained that before.

>>11446836
Yeah, pretty sure it reflects that player's fleet in real-time. You might get something like what you described, but you could also get the opposite and have someone who switches out his main fleet for an AFK one if you wait long enough.

>>11446849
Oh, I see, they change in real-time instead of freezing when they reset partners. I usually just do the practice immediately after seeing the fleet so I noticed before.

>>11446836
Yes, this happens rather frequently. I check them once in a while to see if anyone started to idle with a single ship, since practice EXP borders on the ridiculous.

I once got Enomiya as my practice opponent, he had a full fleet with some lower level ships but my flagship still got 2k experience from the ordeal.

Motherfucking 3-4. I came so close to beating it twice today. Nearly succeeded against the 4 BB fleet when my carriers + KTKM took out one red BB, crossed the T and one-shotted a yellow BB, killed the other red BB that missed... then the flagship crits KTKM. Two tries later I'm completely undamaged and get the easiest possible battle (one yellow and one red BB), flagship crits Kirishima down to 18 hp, that's the only damage any ship took the whole run.

Then I try again and get the 4 BBs and this happens to my fleet. Fucking hell. I've only been sent far north twice and once I failed before reaching the whirlpool, other time I got sent south to the BBs anyway.

>>11446959
Might want to consider putting damage control on every ship except your flag.

>>11446986
I'm reluctant to rely on that because what happens if the boss fleet just gangs up on the damaged ship and it uses up the repair then just gets hit again and sunk?

Unless damage control also protects the ship from getting sunk for the rest of the round after it's used.

>>11447042
>Unless damage control also protects the ship from getting sunk for the rest of the round after it's used.
Yes.

>>11447042
It helps for the rest of the round (night battle counts as a different round).
Before engaging the boss, I'd retreat if the ship is red (it's very likely you'll need to do night battle), but equipping damage repairs let me go forward if it's medium damage.

How many other people out there are playing extremely suboptimally because it makes you feel better?

>>11447051
>>11447071
Well fuck, I would have done that ages ago if I had realized that. It's scary enough seeing my ships getting repeatedly hit after a BB crit even knowing they won't die, I didn't want to do anything even riskier. Unfortunately I can't try it out now because I have too many ships repairing.

The worst thing about 3-4 is the damage is so all-or-nothing most runs, every run I feel like I have to bucket my critted ship(s) or my docks will be full for days on end, which then leaves me set to run it again immediately, and it just goes on forever. Unlike most maps where I gradually accumulate single damage hits until it's time to shut things down while I repair for 3 hours.

>>11447104
You mean like playing just your favorite ships no matter how crappy they are? Or deliberately running a fleet of 6 Mutsukis on every map and refusing to give up no matter how impossible it is?

>>11447113
Right now I keep antiaircraft guns or fighters on pretty much every ship, even if I'm grinding a route where I expect few or no enemy carriers. What if Midway happens and all you have is decks full of unescorted dive bombers? Wouldn't that be awful?

As for the other things... I won't say that I'm not doing those.

>>11447104
Many people probably keep at least one or two of their first ships on rotation for their A-teams, it's natural to get sentimental about them after being through so much shit together.

I want to hold hands with Fubuki and tell her that she is very adorable.

I'm so glad we're finally seeing uploads of KanColle doujinshi raws instead of nothing but Chinese translations. And even getting the non-H stuff too.

Goddammit, Ikazuchi, so it's your fault Miyuki sank before the war even started.

>>11447134
Ah, "feel better" in the sense of "feel more secure", I was thinking you meant feeling like a better player by succeeding while using inferior ships/weapons.

No, I'm afraid I don't roleplay it to that degree (mainly because non-flagship carriers rarely do more than scratch my paint), although I do usually have fighters at all times since swapping planes back and forth is a pain in the ass with the slow equipment interface. Plus it sucks if you forget to switch back and lose 400 bauxite when your unescorted planes get shot down.

Tried crafting my original BB recipe today (400/399/600/30)
Teitoku Level 34
Secretary: Hiei Level 44
Result: Nachi, Takao, Choukai, Haruna

Only Kongou nee-sama left to complete dem sisters!

>>11447267
Your t level and secretary ship has absolutely nothing to do with ship crafting, only equipment,

What formation would be optimal on the node before 3-4 boss, with 2 CVs and 4 BBs ? none are significantly damaged yet.

>>11447407
Double line for armor boost.

I'm beginning to believe 1CA 2DD on 4-4 is a waste of time. Out of what feels like 10 tries, either one or two of my ships get fucked up at G node or I go south at the last (and only) compass.

Anyone else watched this yet? It was pretty damn awesome.

Link in header because 4chan thinks it's spam.

Would love to see someone re-enact it with MMD models though.

>>11447491
>http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm21892733
Whoa that was 13 minutes well spent.

Finally finished 4-4 and unlocked area 5.
Last fight against 4-4boss was terrible.
I went to night battle with both Suzu and Samidare in the red... When the enemy sub triggered the cut-in attack I was already crying but thank god Maya sacrificed herself to protect them.
Thank you Maya, you deserved that bucket.

>>11447233
you and me both, Teitoku. I love her

Finally got my I-168 back after probably 55 builds of 250/30/200/30. Got one extra Shimakaze and two extra Yukikaze while doing so too. No I-58 though.

That's about 2%, but of course it's also just my experience.

>>11447704
Peasant here, is Shimakaze actually really good in-game?

Wondering if there's a trading system too with that extra Shimakaze. Can't have a full team of Shimakazes can you?

>>11447718
Well, she has the best stats of all the destroyers, but she's still a destroyer. Not too great dealing with things stronger than cruisers, and can't really do much during day battle either.
Mine's still low level so I can't really say much about the subject though.

Aside from that, there's no trading system (and would probably make everyone's lives far too easy also), and you can only have at most one of any particular ship per fleet.

>>11447678
I didn't even try using the 1 CA + 2 DD for the fourth boss kill, due to the fact that I couldn't kill it without night combat. Thankfully the final boss cooperated with my 4 BB + 2 CV fleet.

Meanwhile attempting 3-4 while using repair crews as recommended seems to be an invitation for the game to rape me in the ass even harder. Twice I get through the watchdog with 2 ships in orange (one being the flagship) and 2 in yellow, and the compass sends me east. One more try gets me raped by 2 BB + CV opening battle and I'm done. Spent about 15 buckets and 3-4k steel on repairs today.

On the other hand I decided to run 3-2 a couple more times and my destroyers cleared it both tries. I even had my T crossed by the 2 BB 2 CA fleet and only had one ship in the yellow.

Almost makes me feel like I should be running 3-4 with a 6 destroyer fleet, except for the knowledge that the boss fleet has carriers.

>>11447704
Grats. I wanted I-168 but got I-58 with only three crafts. Still can't find I-168, Shimakaze or Yukikaze 15 crafts later, not to mention the last 6 battleships have been Fuso's. Such misfortune.

>>11447718
She's the second best destroyer in the game after Yukikaze, and there's some stuff that requires destroyers later on where you can make use of them. But she can't compare to a fleet of BBs and CVs

Personally I wish she wasn't so good, because I don't even like her but feel like I have to use her just for her stats. At least I finally have Yukikaze, but she needs a lot of catching up in levels. Then I can make Shimakaze ride the bench behind Yukikaze and Inazuma

Has anyone else started saving up for a potential Shinano event yet?

>>11447727
>you can only have at most one of any particular ship per fleet.
You can have duplicates actually.

>>11447788
Not running in the same group, which is what I think that anon meant by fleet.

Finally at level 71 I get Haruna from the first node in 4-4, and to top it off the boss drops Nagato. Today is the best day.

>>11447791
Yes that is what I meant, woulda been cute though. Probably for the better neither a trading system or duplicates are allowed. Like really.

Also, anon who made the compiled versions of >>11445942 and >>11445487 here. Just thought I'd mention Danbooru's infamous mod team is gonna delete them. Not that it really matters.

>>11447806
nor*

Fuck the police im on the internet.
But my autism makes me do this.

>>11447818
Is this a joke about their stats?

>>11447818
Only the left side, and not about Shimakaze's stats, but her real-life, uh...stats.

>>11447818
>Inazuma wearing shimapan
Sorry, but that just doesn't fit her.

>>11447820
Shimakaze is always about "Gotta go fast"

I like Kongou

>>11447854
** Murakumo

>>11447854
>>11447862
I'm planning to include her in the 3-2 sortie despite knowing that there are other destroyers better than her. She's my starter after all.

Whoa! Thanks, Mutsu. I guess you're not so unlucky after all.

I think this game will get an english translation at some point and then it will be ruined.

>>11447785
Waiting patiently for 3 luck stats. Also waiting for Musashi as well.

>>11447932
>Musashi
My buckets are ready for the inevitable event. Hopefully there's also another chance to get Yamato as well

I guess its time to start hording buckets.

>>11447932
>>11447938
Absolutely. I'm considering wiping all of my shipdaughter priorities off my table with the exception of leveling whichever BB sisters are getting the upgrade next month, and then everything else will be grinding levels and saving resources.

I'm making my body hard for event ships.

>>11447932
The first ship to ever show up with zero luck.

>>11447938
>>11447951
I peaked at 120 buckets before attempting 3-4 and now I'm down to 108. I should just forget about clearing until I grind up my ships to the 80s.

>>11447955
W-what if she doesn't even get a refit because how quickly she sank?! ;_;

What if instead of having a set value, they gain stats randomly upon leveling up? Would you play your shipdaughters like Pokemon?

>trying to build Nagato/Mutsu
>get 2 4 hour timers
>both Kongou

I didn't ask for this.

>>11447854
I instantly knew what that pic was going to be after reading your text.

What I wanted to know after reading that was how teitoku managed to get Akebono and Shiranui sparkling.

>Shimakaze's thong is actually a reference to her flag

Concept artists.

>>11448051
Quite a stretch. I'm not buying it. He just wanted to draw a slut.

>>11447104
I had barely touched 3-2/4-1 since clearing 2-4. Since I've spent almost all of my early levels grinding only heavyweight ships in preparation for 2-4, now I've just been chilling and grinding levels on CLs/DDs and ships I like as opposed to before when I was just making do with whatever I get.

Not remotely close to being able to tackle the next event, but I'm playing and enjoying the game at my own pace.

>>11448029
If drop rates were better or items would be available via in-game methods to supplement stat growth, maybe.

Also Pokemon doesn't have random stat gains. Fire Emblem would be a better example.

The repair times of my ships are starting to exceed 15 hours when their HP is in the red. I've run out of repeat ships to modernize my other ships with. Even though I have more than 10,000 of each resource, I'm have single digit dev kits, so I can't craft any new ships or make any new weapons (not that I need to, I only lack the event ship Yamato)

I still have many ships to train but they're all damaged or tired.

Now I can only play the waiting game.

>>11448163
Time to spend them buckets, anon.

>>11448177
I regret not saving buckets for the previous event (which caused me to lose out on Yamato) so I'm saving them in preparation for the next one. Currently have stockpiled around 150 buckets, I'm thinking of hitting 200 before I start spending them.

>>11448036
This exact thing happened to me last night, except it was Hiei and Haruna. I have all 4 Kongous.

I don't know how you can run low on buckets...

>>11448227
Are you bot running expedition two or are you just very good at making sure you have a fleet running it all your waking hours?

>>11448190
Why does event maps require so much buckets?

>>11448233
Probably the latter? 30 mins intervals are not that hard to keep track of.

>>11448051
fucking genius

>>11448238
Regenerating boss health bar.
>>11448227
Damn, that's a lot. I'm still stuck at 300.

Will my second fleet be more successful during expeditions if their levels are higher?

I swear to god I should be fired from the admiralty.

This isn't even an interesting node.

>>11448271
There's only "successful" and "not successful".

If you want them to be "great success" you have to make them all shiny and stuff

>>11448283
At least no one is sunk right?

>Collected a bunch of Isuzu
>Trained them all to level 12 and modernized
>Harvested their radars and rare torpedoes
>Fed them all to my new Ooi
I feel bad for raising Isuzu like cattle especially since she resembles Lucchini a lot, but it's the games fault for not giving me any radars during my craft attempts.

>>11448292
Sorry, I meant successful more often. I keep doing these hour long epic journeys and get nothing for it. Is it just random besides getting great success?

>>11448307
That means your fleet has the wrong ships (most expeditions require only destroyers and light cruisers, putting in more powerful ships only causes it to fail (there are some exceptions to this))

Usually expeditions of rank B and above require your ships to be at least level 10+

>>11448294
I've only ever lost one ship but I've come so close more than a couple times. Akebono went down from orange to red in the first round of night combat and the last destroyer nailed her down to the last hit point with a 22inch 22inch 5inch combo.

Every time I dodge one of these bullets I say, "never again" and then the next time I do it again anyway. My whole life is like this.

>>11448310
STOP IT! CLOSE DOWN THE ISUZU FARMS! All you Admirals and Commanders should stop it! She is a ship daughter too and not just cattle!

http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=38435547

I got Kisaragi for the first time, and she keeps telling me to go closer to her and look at her glowing skin... She sounds like a prostitute.

>>11448330
No sacrifice, No Victory

Someone mentioned getting Kancolle working on android via Dolphin browser many threads ago. Just using my API link causes dolphin to pop up a download window instead of actually running it.

>>11448330
It's a cruel world, anon. We must perform these necessary evil.

If the game decides to create a ship daughter who gives a turbine when modernized... She'll become cattle too. (Because I can't seem to get a fucking turbine no matter what recipe I use)

>>11448330

There you go anon.

Te-Toku never changes.

>>11448379
>>11448423
>>11448441
you guys are terrible.

I don't know how anyone can run out of build items at higher levels, I haven't had an issue with them since around my second day playing, they're at 350 and growing.

As for buckets, I didn't touch them at all until the first event, and I only did it through the second map so I didn't burn too many there. They've slowly increased ever since as I started using them more regularly, but only when a ship needed massive repairs. But I just burned through about 20 today, fuck you 3-4. I'm back down to around 340 now.

>>11448368
I never really paid attention to her lines until I saw this pic and crossreferenced it with her lines in the wiki. I don't even have her anymore, I fed her to someone the last time I acquired one.

>>11448460
>>11448368
I know Kongou also says that "It's fine to touch me anywhere but be mindful of our location" or something like that

I'm guessing the ships are encouraging you to feel them up. Lewd.

>>11448441
Never really kept them around. After 12, off they go as AA feed.

>>11448423
I've gotten two improved turbines from by doing 110/300/250/10 and 110/300/250/250 a total of ninety-six times combined.

I look forward to doing two hundred more.

>>11448491
Well.. Im keeping them bcuz the ship that I want didnt reach its modernize lvl yet.

But you know, SOON...

Next lottery is in an hour 30, right?

>>11448585
>開放日時：9/24(火)【17:30】開放開始
In about 4 hours.

>>11448597
I fucking hate my timezone and trying ton convert.

Hi I keep reading about these events and need for buckets. Can I know when does it happen and how do we access the event map (do I need to relogin etc)?

>>11448319
>require your ships to be at least level 10+
Only flagship, the rest could be level ones and you still could be successful.

>>11448330
Man, I don't even have space for a Isuzu farm. Even if I have, grinding them will be a pain.

>>11448651
Based on last event, it will be a new map so if you keep your API link, there's no need to login. As for when, just check the thread or follow the Kancolle staff on Twitter of which some of the people here are following.

>>11447882
they are all good girls, teitoku. don't forget that.

>>11448064
how similar. after the rush in defeating the 2-4, i just take things slowly. grinding 3-2 and doing daily quest.

>>11448064
>>11448697
You guys are not alone, I guess. I'm just mucking about after 2-4, trying to get all the ships I want and poking my ship secretaries.

>>11448673
What was thelast event like？ I missed it because of stuff and things． I-is it stressful?

I just let my original flagship sink
I am a failure of a teikoku

>>11448709
Just another series of map but only submarines and Yamato can be rewarded from them. Unless you want to collect 'em all, participating the event is probably good but other than that, this game is not stressful at all.

>>11448715
My condolences, admiral. What's her name?

>>11448707
After finishing 3-2 and getting Imuya I've done pretty much jack shit in sorties. I'm only bothering with them just to finish dailies/weeklies along with the occasional 2-4 for a chance to get Ooi.

And then I noticed I'm 5000 resources richer on everything.

Oh I see thank you. I'm mainly concerned about the maps difficulty since my ships are pretty low level at the moment. (I dont get to play as often as I'd like)

>>11448761
Someday I too will enjoy Kongou.

>>11448784
Actually, from what I heard, event maps are pretty high level.

Gosh, this is depressing to read.

Yes.

We Strike Witches now

>>11448868
Leaping off the water way too much. I'm okay with them "skipping" on top of water, but full airborne gliding is too much for me.

>>11448868
Kancolle is going places.

>>11448868
I hope you can just keep running on the water, because that's cool

>>11448868

>>11448906
Don't forget Upotte, Sora No Woto, and Sky Girls

>>11448906
I thought about that
Feels like I'm missing something though
Would be a pretty cool crossover

Upotte for ground forces
GuP for tanks
Kancolle for ships
Strike witches for Air

If a fangame community for this gets off the ground it's going to have everything from Navy Field to Ace Combat clones.

>>11448906
Twintails strong.

>>11448923
Strike witches had tank witches too!

>>11448997
I should have know it was you Strike Witches f/a/gs who were shitting up /jp/ with your moe shipgirl nonsense threads.

gb2/a

>>11449019
If you're so sick of other people who have different opinions and tastes why don't you make your own board where you can be the only person there and then everything there will be to your liking.

I'm really sick of complaints like yours.

(Saying something like "Strike witches sucks, go back to /a/" would not have triggered this post)

>>11449043
Nice automated roleplaying, dude. Seriously, that was creative as hell. I'm really going to take your advice to heart now because of it.

Apologies to the strikef/a/gs. Enjoy your loli ship game, ya dipshits!

>>11449053
There are non-lolis in the game, but yes, we are enjoying and will continue to enjoy our ship game.

Now go away and go watch Miley Cyrus twerk or whatever it is tasteless people like you do.

Strike Witches sucks, go back to /a/.

I also fixed your capitalization.

Thank you. This is beautiful.

>>11449066
Is that link SFW?

I'm not at work (NEET4lyfe) but my mom has a habit of barging in here when she's drunk.

How I kill submarines? I got a lvl 37 Isuzu and 52 Hyper KTKM-sama, both with 50+ anti-sub stat and they can barely dent them, let along DDs with their 30 anti-sub and CVs are their grand total of 5.

>>11449071
The link is SFW.

>>11449066
14 views!

>>11449075
The elites? Need an advantageous formation and luck to crit, really.

The regular subs should sink easily enough even with a light carrier.

>>11449066
Wow this is verycute! I was feeling sad and this made things a little better.

Which map does Akatsuki spawn? I've never seen her at all.

>>11449075
Do you have any anti-sub equipment?

>>11449098
Torpedos? Yes. Sonars? no.

>>11449105
Depth charges?

>>11449075
Were you using the column (vertical) formation by any chance? Those are bad against subs.

>>11448878
>Leaping off the water way too much.
i can't wait to see a Space Battleship Yamato 2199 crossover.

>>11448784
>>11448792
Yeah, if you're going to assume you're going to just participate in the next event, you're going to need to start playing a lot less casually in the next month.

What was the recommended ship level for the last one again? 60 or 65 or so? It was pretty exclusive in terms of the number of players who could beat it and get Yamato. Thankfully the developers aren't buttfaces and allowed people to start building the submarines from that event normally last week. So far Yamato herself is another story....

>>11449154
builds from 999/999/999/999 at 1% drop rate

i can't wait

>>11449169
>Craft fairies that boost your chance at getting a particular ship from a recipe.
They will be swimming in money.

>>11449154
They should make a babby level event map and just make it very long

>>11449191
They should try to make it as a community event; success as a whole will have different outcome to the game itself. That said, it will be too MMO-ish and I don't really like that.

Alright, /jp, it's that time!

Will you get lucky tonight?

>>11449213
Good luck to all new prospecting admirals. May the Kongo sisters bless you.

>>11449213
11 minutes late.
Fuck.

>>11448380
Tried this? http://pastebin.com/84JUZhuJ

>>11449213
First try and I got in.

Not sure if I'm lucky or if there are simply less people trying to register these days.

Good day fellow admirals. I have a question to ask. Does anyone know a good place to grind for Light cruisers. I am one ship away to getting all three of the Sendai Sisters, Jintzu-chan remains elusive. I need her to finish the quest which gives you the third fleet [Obtain all three Sendai Sisters]. I am quite new to the game, so my ships aren't very strong [I haven't beaten 2-4]

Any advice?

>>11449288
Just continue farming and leveling whichever map you feel most comfortable with. She drops virtually on every map.

Cute girls sell, so is this some kind of browser game?

>>11449288
I got my Jintzu at stage 2-1, if I remember correctly. Stage 1 is likely as well (Got Naka and Sendai from there).

>>11449275
Must be luck. Fired up both accounts at 17:25, still didn't get shit.

Oh well, better luck tomorrow

>>11449303
No it's not. It's a project we're working on right here on /jp/. We plan to release it on the PS4.

>>11449320
...and Vita, don't forget that.

>>11449313
It's a lottery, so yes it is luck.

i'm quite a slowpoke, just noticed that yukikaze is wet all the time and you can see her pure white panties

>>11449466
Anyone can share a good recipe for yukikaze or its better to grind her out? I have been using 300/300/600/150 with Fuso as flagship with no success.

>>11449595
>300/300/600/150
That's overkill. 250/30/200/30, 250/200/200/30 have both given me several Yukikazes while trying to get subs.

>>11449603
Will try thanks.

Do you use any specific flagship for this? I read somewhere but I cant rmb that flagship doesnt matter at all for construction.

Any info on the next lottery?

>>11449635
Tomorrow after maintenance, probably same at 1730 JST

>>11449634
Yeah, it's said that it doesn't matter but on the wikiwiki they still report it just in case. I got Shimakaze after 6 attempts at 270/30/330/130 and Yukikaze after a single 250/200/200/30 (I got lucky with the lucky girl); it's interesting that I saw the latter recipe quite often here on /jp/ but it's not featured on wikiwiki.

>>11449710
Which one is more reliable for recipe, actually? atwiki or wikiwiki?

>>11449713
Personally I find atwiki harder to navigate, from what I can understand they have one page for each recipe filled with reports, for rare destroyers it's the same as wikiwiki ( 250/30/200/30 and 270/30/330/130), but maybe I'm missing something.

>>11449713
It's pretty much the same every on every fansite for rare destroyers

I got Yukikaze and Shimakaze from 250/30/200/30 only with the only two times I tried it

There's no reliable recipes, it's all about getting lucky

>>11449710
>>11449769

I just tried that 250/200/200/30 recipe, got Yukikaze on first try. Up until now the 270/130/200/30 and 250/30/200/30 have always resulted in either light or heavy cruisers, with occasional non-rare destroyers

>>11449466
>>11449801
can't help but to think that Amy + Squirrel = Yukikaze.

>>11449826
If only Yukikaze's art was done by Naruko Hanaharu and voiced by Kanemoto Hisako.

>>11449801

Tried twice. Choukai and Jintsuu. Yep, RNG goddess really likes me.

Do I need to complete all expeditions before the world 5 expeditions unlock?

>>11449857
Goddesses don't get a chance to be very random when you only give them a a chance to try twice.

Goddesses want you to see tons of heavy cruiser in 4-3, then tease you with gold background just to give you (yet) another Soryu. Because I'm not worth of Kaga, Hiryu and Haruna, I only deserve more dupes... incidentally I think that Soryu was the only good ship I got from map drops so far.

>>11449978
I'm giving up on Kaga and Hiryuu myself and just saving up to do whatever event comes up with Shinano.

has anyone been able to register their credit card recently? I've been trying with all my cards (including a Japanese one) and none of them could be registered.

>>11450060
My CIBC VISA worked. Hadn't tried anythign else.

How did I get myself into this quandary? I'm also approaching my max resource hoarding limit for steel and ammo.

>>11450089
Well, that is as good a time as any to try a few 10/300/250/10 recipes. Go see if you can get a couple more 46cms for your battleships.

>>11450060
My debit card worked. I was even able to buy an space expansion.

guys i have problem with my swf file , the timer for ship construction showing 00.00.00 until the end every time i build a ship , i tried deleting cache + getting new swf token from dmm website but still didn't worked :(

Does Fubuki have this little ponytail? It bugs me when I'm seeing her sometimes depicted with it, and then without it.

>>11450189
you didnt point out her ponytail there

>>11450196
Look at the right picture.

>>11450189
My gut says yes.

Hair doesn't taper down at the back like that unless it's tied up or shaved. It's possible that it's the latter, but it's a pretty outlandish hairstyle considering she also has those long sidelocks and this artist seems to prefer conservative hairstyles.

Man, my ships use up too much shit to keep running and repair.

>>11450270
It sorta balances out by having high-level powerful ships take a long time to repair, so you go on less sorties per day if you aren't using buckets for everything.

Of course, if you do crafting as well, that balance goes right out the window, even if you only do enough for the daily quests.

Does the game actually differentiate between transport and supply ships for quests?

>>11450338
No.

I am not sure what happened and I forgot to screenshot it because I worried I lost a ship daughter. Basically Kirishima Lvl 49 got critted about about 4hp left and red hull. After the battle I get a screen with Kirishima and some information on the right side and I hear the modernization sound effect. I checked and now Kirishima is lvl 48. Can someone explain what happened?

>>11450398
Kaga_go_to_sleep.jpg

>>11450189
She does. Even in Shibafu's sprite, you'll see the red hairband tying up her ponytail. Her only (?) MMD model doesn't have the ponytail (;´□｀)

400/200/500/400

Shokaku get!

>>11450398
The information/screen just tells you your flagship is too damaged (I assume your flag was Kirishima) to continue moving forward. It shouldn't have any effect on your level. I'm pretty certain you just remembered your level wrong.

>>11450480
I'm oozing jelly right now

I already have Zuikaku but Shokaku won't come to me

Will try this recipe since I have a abundance of steel anyway

>>11450480
For someone who is described as unlucky, she doesn't seem to get hit very often.

>been trying to get Shimakaze for 2 weeks running 250/30/200/30
>nothing
>try >>11449801
>first try

>>11450598
She does have higher evasion than Kaga/Akagi/Soryuu.

I couldn't find much information on what some stats do. Does accuracy affect hit rate on torpedoes or planes, or only main guns?

Also, how does range on weapons work? I guess longer range guns shoot first, but how does it work out if you have a mix of different ranges on the same ship?

I tried to use her for crafting items/ships. And she gave the shittiest crafts by far.

So now the only craftable ships I miss are Nagato, Hiryuu, Zuikaku, and I58.

The odds of being please by the RNG is getting dangerously low..

I feel a bit lost on the subs part.

I hear you can craft them (but RNG doesn't like me). I also hear some destroyers can run around with mini-subs. I can't figure out how to get those either.

>>11450709
The gun with the longest range sets the firing range of the ship. Having 46 cm (very far) and 41 cm (far) on your battleship will set your firing range to very far. Now, I haven't tested whether

>>11450871
*whether or not the damage from the 41 cm (or other shorter range guns) contributes to the attack damage at very far range.

>>11450862
Are you talking about submarine vessel or midget sub equipment? The vessel could be obtained from rare destroyer recipe, the equipment can be crafted (usually byproduct of 46cm recipe) or obtained from remodel, like Chitose or Chiyoda.

This fucking game.

>training match, enemy fleet get T-crossed
>most of my attacks are missed, enemy always get clean hit. ended up in B
>next match, my fleet get T-crossed
>all of my attacks are critical hits, S score
The RNG is just difficult to tame.

I wish Zuikaku's luck would affect development. I don't think she's crafted a single holo / S holo yet.

Wish #2: I want greentexters to leave.

After countless duplicates of her sisters, she finally appeared. I'm so happy right now.

>>11451056
Just got her too, brother

>>11451051
Meanwhile, Fuso has been pulling out a steady stream of turbines, 46cms and radars.

I don't think she's unlucky at all, it's just that her luck isn't evenly distributed. She's still a critical magnet that eats at my steel reserves at alarming rates, but when it comes to rare equipment she can craft with the best of them.

Holy fuck, I finally beat it. Ever since I equipped repair crews as advised, I repeatedly got my ass handed to me by the first BB battle and never had a chance to get past the watchdog. This time I finally made it there (after the damn north route sent me back south yet again) and got the easiest formation and reached boss with no one below 50%. Damn good thing too because I got the 2 BB boss fleet and needed night combat with Kaga and Kongou both red from day combat. Even better, I got I-58 as the drop. And even better than that is never having to touch that fucking map again.

The interesting thing is, in all those runs, Mutsu was the most uncrittable ship in my fleet with her 5 luck, I'm not sure she took a single one (this run she started out at 75/90 and just ate a bunch of small hits) She started out as just a backup too, I ended up putting her in full-time after getting sick of KTKM's shit (miss all her attacks then eat a huge non-crit and fail my run). I have no clue how the damage calculations work out, but I have to figure that her having 95 armor instead of 89 (against the 90 firepower flagship BBs) makes a huge difference in crits. Clearly, crits aren't just about luck, considering your BBs will crit DDs and CLs virtually 100% of the time.

>>11450959
Practice battles seem like such bullshit in general. I get endless misses against opponents with lvl 10 ships, then effortlessly crit lvl 80s. It also feels way way harder to win after that flagship protection change, I kept getting battles where I crushed the opponent but didn't damage their flagship, C rank. I know the flagship always counted for more, but it seems like it's even more extreme now on top of it being protected.

>>11451051
I too, enjoy wanting things.

Also, try 20/60/10/210 with Akagi. I've been running it all week for dailies and I get at least 1 hollow (usually comet 12 or metor kai) per 4 attempt.

>>11451051
I love my Zuikaku. It's mostly thanks to her and Kaga that I have a good amount of holo aircraft. Then again, I treat everyone in the archery club like goddesses. Well, everyone except for Soryuu, who remains not remodeled. She'll have her chance soon, though.

>>11451110
I don't care what anyone says. They're both very lovely sisters and I want to marry Yamashiro. In terms of being a crit magnet, that job would probably go to my Hiei.

>>11451156
Too bad she doesn't want to marry you ;_;

>>11451164
It's probably possible via blackmailing/holding Fuso hostage.

>>11451164
One day my love will get through to her. One day.
On that same day, maybe Akebono wont call me a kuso Teitoku.

>>11451204
The rumored eventual "fleet girl will turn dere if you get her past level 99" update?

>>11445556
4BBs + 2CVs wasn't doing it for me so I copied this strategy except with rare equipment and over-levelled ships. The compass gave me the easy route on the 1st try with no carriers. Only the boss did any real damage and I got a duplicate Ise for my trouble (wow, at least give me Hyuuga). At least I can take it easy for a bit, now.

Maintenance in less than 1 hour. Make sure to set your expedition fleets and you all-green CVs main fleet

>>11451110
Fusou made me seven 7 mm AA guns in a row from 110/110/250/250 and ever since then I've been terrified to let her craft anything.

Maintenance starts in less than 1 hour. Make sure to set your expedition fleets and your all-green all-carrier main fleet before the maintenance.

So a light cruiser will get another remodel, more expeditions, and the difficulty of map 5's fleets will be increased with additional experience to compensate.

Got Shirayuki. I guess this will give me something to do once maint strikes.

>>11451222
You have got to be really unlucky. I cleared 2-4 with lower levelled ships and worse equipment (I don't have any 46cm guns), and still came out relatively unscathed.

>>11451219
>turn dere
But she is already dere

>>11451569
Just being polite because you're their boss.

>>11451288
how long will the maintenance last? 5 hours?

>>11451288
Could you explain why to set up an all-green all-carrier main fleet before maintenance?

>>11451618
Helps other admirals beat you up for exp.

Though some low level fleets are nice to get my expedition fleets sparkling.

>>11451618
Probably to be an easier target for practice matches. Since you guys should be sleeping now.

>>11451605
5-6 hours. The schedule is from 1100-1700 JST, but it usually ends before that.
>>11451618
To piss off admirals and drain their bauxite stockpile.

>>11451639
Truth to be told, I never find CVs very useful in practice battles. They deal lesser damage and considering that the enemy's fleet will be equally packed with AA, it's harder to hit as well.

>>11451648
I bring them anyway. It's nice to get 600 exp without risk of a 400 steel repair bill.

>>11451657
Same here. That's because Kaga is part of my main fleet and she always get bullied by the enemies' fleet.

>>11451648
Usually I only bring one for Saiun buff, or none at all. I'm low at bauxite right now, and I don't want to waste them for a practice match.

>>11451665
Speaking of the devil, she just dropped for me today off the 4-1 boss. Is there a reason why people prefers her over Akagi, other than being slightly tankier?

The torpedo cruisers are the true stars of practice battles, taking out those pesky high level battleships.

>>11451665
My Kaga perform well, keeps getting MVP and outperforming Akagi despite difference in level. Not so much for Hiei in the same fleet.

I feel bad for Hiei when she gets hit but her scream is adorable.

>>11451678
More planes could be carried (98 vs 82)

>>11451678
From what I heard, higher plane capacity. But I got her first before Akagi so she got to be the permanent CV in my fleet.

>>11451681
It's annoying as hell but they are not as threatening as BBs, in my opinion. Then again, I have not met a fleet where two of these torpedoes monsters are in.

>>11451678
Japan liek stoic girls.

And most people got Akagi first and focused all of their bauxite rage on her. I find both of their art boring, really. Their damaged poses are more of less the same just with some scuffs and teary eyes.

Which means... her damage doesn't go down as much when she loses planes? Or that she just does more damage with her attack planes?
