/jp/ - Otaku Culture

This thread is going to exist, and there is nothing /jp/ can do about it!

>>11458013
I guess the previous thread was the last thread on board. I didn't even have a chance to link to this new thread.

For the typesetter guy: I've actually just added the words directly into the picture since it's easier for me to explain and easier for you to understand where things go. Are you going to upload the previous 4koma somewhere/actually distribute it?

>>11458027
Woah what the fuck? That's not what I uploaded! I was posting right when the previous thread died, must've glitched something somewhere.

>>11458040

Kancolle now has an anime delete this thread

>>11458056

>>11458064
Would still be /jp/.

>>11458064

>KC Anime =/= KC

Wanna talk bout game in /a/?

>>11458064
Say that to touhou, kajitsu, fate, tsukihime, etc thread.
Then all that left in /jp/ are idol threads
/jp/ - vvota culture
Neat.

I can't stand the notion that /a/ is going to love this shit. Which they are. It won't make me stop enjoying it, but it will ruin my day.

>>11458073

>>11458099
Aw don't be sad. Someone you hate is always going to like things you like.

>>11458099
A little too late to be complaining. You realize a good portion of the people posting in these threads aren't even form this board, right?

>>11458109
Yes, but they don't act like screaming retards about it, so it's fine.

>>11458102
I think I'll translate the other book another day. This first one will take me a while and I still got paperwork to do after this.

>>11458064
This only means that shitters on /a/ - 2D/Random will now have a 24/7 General about a cellphone game.

>>11458110
They might not act like it, but they still bring their shitty habits with them.

That said, let's just try to keep enjoying it the best we can.

>>11458121

>>11458138
Naka-chan jokes everywhere.

>>11458088
Isn't this what they're doing?
>>11458135
If you're referring to /a/ habits these threads would be quite different by now.

>>11458160

>>11458160
Not gonna lie here, this manga is hard as fuck to read.

>>11458175

Nope. I dont play in /a/.

>>11458181
I'm just translating and temporary sticking it in there until the typesetter guy cleans up and add them in properly. You get what you paid for: nothing, so please don't complain.

>>11458195
I usually don't complain for that reason, but I think I would rather have nothing than what you are doing.

>>11458206
It's not even that big of a deal, if you don't like it just ignore it. No reason in complaining about it

I'm enjoying them myself

2-4, southeast final node. Everybody whiffs everything and Nagatsuki scores MVP with twenty something points of torpedo damage. And not a single ship sank that day.

I was hoping to reach 2-4 final, but it didn't happen.

We 900k now.
>>11458221
Holy fuck.

>>11458224
It's the node under the boss, not the boss. And the yellow ship was a heavy cruiser, not a carrier, so that probably helped.

>>11458195
This one's teitoku's speech is kinda hard to explain. He is saying if you eat so much, your remodeled flight deck (that was uneasy/complicated to modernize) is going to turn back into three part flight deck. It's a reference to Akagi's pre-modernize flight deck where she had three short flight deck instead one straight long one.

>>11458206
I'm translating this for the typesetter guy. No one is telling you to read my drafts. Go wait until the typesetter guy polish it up if you don't like what I am doing.

I'm done translating. Say thanks to this ungrateful asshole.

>>11458231
> I'm done translating. Say thanks to this ungrateful asshole.
now you just sound like an attention whoring asshole. Not that I need your JCE transgarblation ,but I feel bad for others who were actually enjoying your work.

>>11458160
>>11458231
So wait, you're translating a Chinese translation of a Japanese doujinshi into English.

Why.

You should all calm down and have some tea.

>>11458243
There's a shitload of Chinese-translated Kancolle doujinshi where nobody can find the raws. It's a fucking gag manga anyway so it's not like anything important's going to be lost in translation.

>>11458243
If you can read Japanese or Chinese, then by all means, read them in Japanese or Chinese. Not everyone knows Chinese and/or Japanese.

>>11458231
one guy making dumbass comments is going to stop you from translating? really?

>>11458254
For now. I spent two hours translating these page-by-page. He just "motivated" me to stop and to invest my time somewhere else better, like finish paying my bills and stuff.

>>11458262
I hope I can motivate you to stop "translating" forever.

>>11458262
It's fine, just relax and take it easy.

Stop letting people get to you

>>11458249
I really wish they would release the raws as well.

>>11458283
But this one has raws

When your very first ship gets target fired and reduced to 1 HP before torpedo come in, is it normal to almost be moved to crying?

I want Anthology.

So there was an attempted Kancolle general on /a/ with 300 posts or so last night. How bad was it?

>>11458206
Go away and stop ruining things for other people just because you're too lazy to read a few more words, faggot.

>>11458352
The only one who can halt a project is the person actually working on it. Somebody said something mean to you, boo fucking hoo.

>>11458357
Basically hype thread. Some /a/ playerbase hoped in, others posted fanarts, the rest is 'What the fuck is this shit?'

The anime discussion was just 'Who will animate it', then it went studio war for a bit.

>>11458354
It was fine really, most of them didn't show interest in the game itself. Went about 650 posts before it 404'd

Had many posters from here posting towards the end attempting the 999/999/999/999 challenge

The RNG was not kind.

>>11458366
Damn, mean to quote >>11458354

>>11458357
>mean
>to me
All I got from your post was that you're an illiterate twat who who can't be arsed to read a comic because it has too many words. I feel sorry for you.

>>11458344
If you mean nerve wrecking, yeah, it's pretty bad.

>>11458363
There was another thread after that though. Not sure how it went.

>>11458344
I remember when my DD went 'It hurts, I want to go home'. My heart died a little.
>>11458380
Same shit, different thread.

Now there's quote confusion on two different fronts.

I will save this thread with giant Maya.

>>11458378
What you should have gotten from the post is that accusing somebody of "ruining" a project because he said something mean that got the project leader to ragequit is patently retarded.

>I feel sorry for you.
I'm sorry you won't get those translations you so desperately wanted, but you don't need to take it out on other people.

>>11458394
I see your Maya and decided to give you a Nagato.

>>11458398
What *you* should have gotten is that just because you don't like looking at anything with more than a few words doesn't mean you can go around claiming you'd rather not have it when you can just ignore it or do your own translations.

I'm sorry your rednecked illiterate worldview is causing you to claim that I "so desperately" want translations, and that I "take it out on other people". Someone's doing a project in a way you don't like, boo fucking hoo. Now go away.

How rare is Hibiki? She's been my favorite, right after Shimakaze, which I know is really rare, but I really want Hibiki so that when I bring her to battle and if she falls in a glorious battle, I can hear her bid me farewell in Russian.

>>11458428
She is pretty common

>>11458426
I can claim whatever the fuck I like, as long as it's true. Or even when it's not true.

>I'm sorry your rednecked illiterate worldview is causing you to claim that I "so desperately" want translations, and that I "take it out on other people".
The only "ruining" anything is the person who rage quit, not the person who said something that was potentially hurtful (oh no!) Credit where credit is due, please.

On the other hand, you're now bitching at someone was neither of those people, so you're misdirected at best and just ludicrously mad at worst.

Take it easy, guys.

Guys, calm down. There's nothing to be upset about. Have some tits.

>>11458409
oh no the world can't stop the onslaught of giant battleship personification

except for one lone samurai

>>11458456
Tits you say?

>>11458398
>>11458426
guys. guys. if you're gonna be overdramatic and ranty take it to /b/ or something.
otherwise shyaddap and post more kanmusu.

>>11458465
Now you've done it. You've brought in Atago. This thread is over.

I never got around to leveling up Atago because she's practically bursting out of her uniform and it's hard not to stare at it.

>>11458477
I'm sorry.

Just don't overdo the image dump. We are taking this all the way to page ten after all. Generally, we can only take in ~700 posts before this sink, that's about an image per 4 posts.

I had hoped this would remain a joke. Fortunately, I have a lv20 AV Chiyoda and a Chi-sisters farm.

>>11458568
That's an expedition, depending on the rewards I may only do it once and then ignore it forever.

>>11458345
can i please have the source for this?

>>11458568
... for what? Zuiuns and Kohyotekis?

>>11458580
I know it is. It's just that some posters in earlier threads gave this as a reason not to upgrade Chitose ever.

Sorry if this is stupid but I have no clue what ships are good against what.

I got Haruna and Hiei extremely early and they've pretty much been carrying the team. Team composition is still completely beyond me.

In what situations are Destroyers, Light Cruisers, and Heavy Cruisers useful? Are Battleships always better?

>>11458568
It's not high level. You can complete it with chitose/chiyoda as low as lvl 13.

>>11458580
300 Fuel, 150 Steel and 150 Bauxite for 9 hours.

Doesn't seem very economical, there are better expeditions at shorter amounts of time. The only good thing about this expedition is the fact that 9 hours is a very nice middle ground between the shorter expeditions and the really long ones.

I'd do it if I were desperate for fuel, but I think I would rather sacrifice a bit of time (going either under or over 9 hours) if I'm not and remodel Chiyoda into a light aircraft carrier.

Only have one seaplane used for the easier route in the last event.

>>11458595
I'm on stage 4 now and you apparently must have a heavy cruiser in your fleet to reach the boss. 3-2 requires 6 destroyers to reach the boss, 2-3 requires something less powerful (4BB and 2 CV do not make the cut, apparently) to reach it as well.

>>11458591
AA+2 for modernisation and as flagships for pvp. I might stop bothering since I have a lot of other ships to level.

>>11458602
The flagship must be an AV at lv30 but the second one can be any level.

>>11458602
The flagship must be an AV of at least lv30 but the second one can be any level.

>>11458616
It has a furniture item reward

>>11458568

>>11458801
Which is just a box for more coins.

>>11458808
As long as you have the right ships and the right flagship level, the order doesn't matter. Rereading the requirements confirmed this for me.

>>11458852
Pretty much this. They never once asked for you to have a flagship of a certain type to be at a certain level for the expedition to clear. It's usually just "Flagship must be at least Lv X with XX and YY type in fleet" .

All of the most suggestive Kanmusu lines.

Maybe I should've leveled Kisaragi more...

>>11458885
(http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm21876045))

Haruna is an angel

I have 10 fuel left because I didn't manage my resources well enough, and I need to refuel everyone. Am I pretty much fucked?

I feel like my beginner's luck has just about run out.

At around 2-2, and every other hit landed on my musumes is a crit. I'm scared that they might actually end up going away forever.

>>11459275
Take a break for a while

>>11459286
You are not alone. My fleet performance for today was pretty much subpar, getting crit by lightcruisers and had to enter night battles or just straight give up and return to base in addition of getting destroyers on majority of 3 and 4 map sorties. Even in practice, everyone seems to place their big guns on their main fleet.

I'm going to hang my captain hat and call it a day.

Would be terrifying to see at night.

Also, this.

Finally, 3-2 has granted me a Kitakami!

>>11459515
Take good care of her.

>>11459534
>blood down the inner thigh

Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch

Lottery starts in around 10 minutes. Get ready.

>>11459534
I will.

Now I just need to get the two submarines and I'll have all the ships except Yamato.. Time to start with 3-3 then!

>>11459570
Wait, you already have Shoukaku+Zuikaku and Nagato+Mutsu, but get KTKM just now? Damn, what a twisted luck.

>>11459580

I know right, I even have a couple of Oois but the goddamn Kitakami just won't appear until today earlier on.

Submarines don't seem to be that common either, shucks.

Finally got one of these.
The radar recipe is complete bullshit, penguins everywhere.

No luck with the lotto today. Oh well.

Fuck 4-3. Whoever thought it was a good idea to make your progress reliant on the whims of the RNG gods should get shot.

And the CA gimmick also does jack shit since the compass before the boss is still random.

Considering last new server opening, maybe tomorrow it will be 2x 10k slots.

>>11459621
Half your team appears to be a bit underleveled to take on red and yellow ships.

>>11459630
True, this cap was after i failed to reach the boss mode three times with my main fleet. I just placed them there to see if I'd have better luck relying on the DD/CA compass bonus.
I didnt.

Now i have to wait til tomorrow to try again since Kaga and Akagi are hogging up my dock spaces for 7 more hours, and i have 12 more ships in line in need of repairs.

Well, well, yesterday a certain teitoku was a little too sleepy and read 4 hours instead of 40 hours, try to guess which rare destroyers he sent on such long expedition?

>>11459801
Shimakaze? Yukikaze? Hibiki second remodel? Or all of the above?

http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Equipment

What are the restrictions of Secondary Cannons? Are they unable to fire in the main phase if there are no red Main Cannons on the ship?

>>11459829
I think they are just weaker than main cannons. Except they are more accurate and they could act as AA as well.

10/300/250/10 is the recipe for the 46cm gun right?
Asking because I get fails even with Mutsu as my flagship

>>11459866
yeah I got one 46 cm and two fails with Mutsu today, but I got consistent result with Haruna

>>11459866
Better to get fails since it does not use an item.

>>11459812
Shimakaze and Yukikaze, Hibiki is still at level 46. I guess I'll take this chance to grind the 3 regular Kagero sisters.
>>11459848
Is it confirmed that they can act as AA? I read a lot of confusing stuff about this matter.
>>11459866
Last time I tried 100/300/250/10 with Kongo as secretary I got the 46cm after 4 attempts, but I'm failing badly at getting engines.

>>11459881
No AA bonus during bombing phase, I think but they still boost AA stats.

Is Kongo the only foreign built?

How do I get my fleet to go east instead of north in 3-2?

>>11459950
Destroyers only club

>>11459958
My god, I only have 3 destroyers that are in the 20-30 range.

With the increasing popularity of kankore and announcement of anime, how are you feeling about casual non admirals stealing your ship waifus? This is divine punishment from the sea gods.

>>11459963
This is Kitakami-sama. There are many like her, but this one is mine.

>>11459963
>>>/a/

>>11459965
gib me one

>>11459967
Sorry, Ooicchi is rather possessive.

>>11459963
They wouldn't appreciate it because they have never felt the frustration of crafting a rare ship of your choice or even putting love and effort into leveling her up.

>>11459970
It's strange but I got Ooi but never KTKM. Are they some sort of star-crossed lovers?

>>11459978
I'd say so, as I got about 6 KTKM before finally getting Ooi, after 2 months of playing.

>>11459963
I don't think anyone from /a/ would be stealing Kikuzuki.

>>11459977
You make a very good point.

>>11459981
>>11459978
Feels like I'm the opposite of you guys, I got Oois but never Kitakami, until just earlier

Do ships without AA guns or hybrid guns contribute to AA fire?

>>11460001
no

>>11459881
>>11459888
Yeah, to summarize, guns do not help with AA in any form unless they are green guns. Simple. As. That.

There's just a 10cm and 12.7cm gun that have the additional luxury of being able to shoot other ships.

>>11460005
Or if they're the 46cm. But that's the only exception.

>>11460007
Oh, 46cm helps in AA fire? What about 41?

>>11460005
>>11460007
What do the Yellow guns do then?

>>11460005

>>11460001 here. So, no matter how much natural AA stat a ship has, she will not shoot at planes unless there's at least 1 dedicated green AA gun on her?

*checks what is Kantai collection*
>browser game.

Hahahahahaha, stupid casuals.

>>11460009
I don't think 41 does

>>11460013
Upps, forgot my name

>>11460009
Nope! Just the 46. Really stupid, I know.

>>11460011
The 15.2 is there to suck badly. The 15.5 yellow gun is for increasing the accuracy of your red guns and add a little extra firepower. There are better ways to do this though, including simply being at a higher level or being a battleship with red ammo.

>>11460011
They increase the AA stat, so if you do have AA guns mounted, your kanmusu can be more effective at AA.

>>11460013
>>11460017
don't let the door hit you on the way out.

>>11460018
Is that because it's compatible with Type 3 AA ammo?

>>11460012
Correct. Notice how your carriers can't shoot down planes without green planes?

>>11460021
So do red guns, which is why I didn't mention it.

>>11460020
Type 3 AA ammo were created for a wide range of bore sizes, and in game, it works with any guns that BB and CA can mount. However, 46 cm guns work as AA even without Type 3 equipped.

>>11460022
I could equip my carrier with a green gun instead right?

>>11460020
No, the 46cms shoot planes by themselves. Green ammo is apparently equipment that helps the whole team shoot planes (but again, only if they have green guns), one green ammo seems to work for the whole team.

>>11460022
Good point. Thanks. I've been playing the game wrong the whole time, stacking red-everything on all my ships except CVs.

>>11460032
Wouldn't green planes be a lot more efficient at AA if it's a CV anyways?

>>11460035
I was just under the impression that it wouldn't eat so much bauxite up if it were possible

>>11460018
I see, wonder what the rationale behind that is.

Sorry to throw this out here but, what recipes do you guys use to craft the type3 and 91 shells? I was using the one for 46cm, 10/300/250/10 with haruna kai flagship, but the shells never show up at all.

>>11460038
You need to use higher fuel and bauxite in that recipe to trigger Type 3 and 91. I don't know what the minimum is, but I believe 110 of each will open the chance for Type 3 and 91.

>>11460040
Cool, thanks alot bud. Will try it when dailies reset again.

>>11460040
Not >>11460038, but I just followed your 110/all recipe on a whim, and a Type 91 popped out. Holy shit.

>>11460046
Grats. Just to clarify for others, 110/300 (or 250)/250/110 for 46cm, Type 3, Type 91 and 15.5 secondary gun.

>>11460046
You used 110/110/110/110 and got a type91 on a whim? What's your flagship, BB?
Oh and, GOD I'M JEALOUS!

>>11460049
If I change the recipe into 110/300/250/250, would it include recipe inside the "loot list"?

So to summarize (again):

Only green guns shoot planes.

46cm guns also shoot planes.

Yellow guns do NOT shoot planes.

All guns with with +AA stat help green guns shoot planes but do not shoot planes unless they are green guns themselves.

Green ammo helps the entire team's green guns shoot planes.

It is not confirmed whether AA radar helps the entire team shoot planes or just the ship the radar is on.

I have a team of CAs with both 12.7greens and 25mm green cannons just for extra jump-out-tracer-shells AA effect. Their individual AA stats aren't even that high, I just use them to grind 1-4 as an example of what equipment can do also where is my Kinugasa and Hiryuu already ;_;

Fucking 168...

>>11460052
My current flagship is an Aoba I'm training up for a quest, though I don't think flagships matter for crafting. Otherwise I would have gotten an Ooi in that one week I had KTKM as my flagship while grinding her up to 50 and spamming the rare destroyers recipe.

>>11460063
Ah I see, but boy are you really lucky. Thanks for the clarification btw.

>>11460055
> Green ammo helps the entire team's green guns shoot planes.
> AA radar helps [...] shoot planes
Are these confirmed?

> Hiryuu
ARGH

> Kinugasa
I think I got her from the usual 250/30/200/30 build.

>>11460063
Flagships matter for developing equipment, but not on ship construction.

>>11460066
Not him, but I tried grinding 2-3 for Imuya, but received Hiryuu from the boss.

>>11460055
Does the green ammo stack with other green ammo?

>>11460055
>Green ammo helps the entire team's green guns shoot planes.

Pretty sure this is not true.
AA ammo simply add an AA effect to regular red weapon like 41cm.

>>11460066
AA radar not confirmed, but it's nice to have anyways since they have both high accuracy and AA stat.

>>11460070
Unconfirmed, but they have high AA stat by themselves anyways so it'd be hard to test.

>>11460022
Talking about carriers, does increasing their AA and firepower improve the effectiveness of their air wings? Maybe it's a stupid question but it's been bothering me from a while.

>>11460074
Pretty sure wikiwiki says otherwise.
>防空弾範囲は全艦隊

>>11460069
I've been grinding 2-3. 4-1. and 4-2 plus crafting carrier recipe. Last Sister Syndrome at its peak right here.

>>11460079
Me haff no clue! I'm sure it'd definitely increase the power of any green -guns- you put on them though.

Fucking. Finally. Now I only need to train them until around 30 and then I could build my ofuro.
>>11460084
>Shoukaku
Damn, those cranes are always avoid me at all costs.

Is the supply ship quest/ kill 5 world 5 bosses worth the time invested? Yesterday, I rotated through 3-4 different fleets trying to get the required number of kills of aforementioned, and I ended up with a dozen injured ships (each requiring 1-2 hours in repairs, even DDs) for what.... a bit of oil and bauxite, and almost no exp?
The submarine quest that's unlocked is nice and easy and gives nice exp, but I don't think it's worth the entire afternoon I spent. That time probably could've been spent getting my girls to level 60 instead of running 2-2 for 120 exp per fight.

>>11460079
The producer has said AA/firepower affects CV's performance in some way, but didn't specify how. We're still not sure. Probably in the same extent luck affects critical hits.

>>11459965
Is 15.5 gun better on KTKM than the 12 radar?

>>11459963
2-4 would drive the casuals away.

>>11460137
Lottery already drove them away.

>>11460137
That would be a waste of accounts

>>11460129
Thanks for the info.
>>11460134
Personally I was thinking about leaving her with the high angle gun (green 127mm) instead, right now I run my lv.33 one with midget subs and green 127mm. Or maybe just increasing her evasion but I'm being unlucky with turbines so far.
>>11460137
Casuals could stop being casual if they at least start playing this game.

>>11460150
>Casuals could stop being casual if they at least start playing this game.
You mean stop talking about Shimakaze at every opportunity.

Feels like /wtg/ and arcade-only players.

>>11460150
I've been thinking about what to put in KTKM's third slot. Even with radar she only seems to hit about 75% of the time. Her canon fire packs a decent punch and I've been considering swapping it for a gun to replace it.
With turbines as rare they are I probably put them elsewhere. Isn't Hyper KTKM sama's base dodge rate around 64? What with 60ish armor on top of that, she's probably the tankiest CL in the game.

>>11460155
I blame the boorus. They all saw porn of her and they came flooding in, the scum. They will never know of Shimakaze and her fast free spirit. They will never feel Kongo's BURNING LOVE.

KanColle is popular!

Hey :(. I'm a booru uploader and I got through the lottery and play Kancolle... Though I've only got Yukikaze right now, not Shimakaze.

>>11460187

>>11460191

>>11460195

>>11460201
last one.

>>11460201
America is too popular.
Fucking casual Americans are ruining it for the rest of us.

>>11460190
Congrats on getting in the lottery!
I'm mainly sad about those who just like the girls as fap material and nothing else. Sorry if I came off too harshly.

Tomorrow there'll be two lotteries for new server, 1530 and 1830 JST. And they mentioned it will be few ten-thousands.
>>11460190
Fuck off.

What's the double-line and plus (the diamond?) formation for?

>>11460214
Yes, I am fapping right now. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

>>11460247
Good idea let me join

>>11460181
Kongou is pretty top on the list of favourites actually. Not that I'm complaining, it was love at first sight.

>>11460233
Double line is for evasion but it will decrease accuracy and firepower. Diamond formation is for AA and your ships will protect your first two ships. Check the wiki.

>>11460279
Yeah me too. I saw Shimakaze art popping up everywhere, and I liked the sheer lewdness of her design, but it was Kongou's BURNING LOVE that got me to start putting in the effort to try and get a server slot.

>>11460283
>Double line is for evasion but it will decrease accuracy and firepower
Both JP wikis say anti-sub decreases while firepower, torpedo, armor, and evasion all go up.

Yes
I finally got her and can start to build for Kongou

>>11460298
My bad. I never used double line at all and I thought only evasion and armour increased.

>>11458027
I kinda tunnel visioned on this one. If I went too far or anyone's got suggestions for changes just let me know. As for the previous doujin I'll figure out how to upload it to exhentai but I thought we weren't done yet.

>>11458056

finally beat 2-4 in first try, almost losing my fuso there

>>11458073

>>11458102

>>11458121

>>11458138
About this one >>11460351, I didn't really get it. It feels like there's a missing line between the second and third panels.

>>11459613
up for preorder september 30?

>>11458160

>>11458184
The last panel's the most liberal I've gotten, she's just wondering to herself if there are four to complete the set but I didn't want to make a mess of things like with the TL note and leave it overly complicated. It's so hard not to phrase it awkwardly that I went with something simple that has the same basic meaning. I feel like it's blunt enough to get the joke across better but I'm not really comfortable with that after years of fansub elitism.

>>11458195

>>11458231
I'm allergic to uguu.

>>11460417
and that its the perfect example of how you should be liberal with translations. Its not about the exact words, its about the meaning and making it sound fluid.

Keep up the awesome work.

>>11460424
>talked
Spoke.

>>11460474
talked is a real word too, and quite frankly I think it fits a hell of a lot better than spoke in that situation.

>>11460018
>>11460038
Secondary batteries don't shoot air because they were designed to be rapid firing guns for fending off faster, smaller ships like torpedo boats or destroyers. I guess this is why they boost accuracy in kancolle.

>>11460480
I suppose. I thought given Akagi's more formal personality she'd use the other word but they are indeed interchangeable

>>11460483
>Akagi more formal
I thought that's Kaga, but maybe it was the fact that I see "no-fun allowed" in her.

Does a recon seaplane let a ship attack enemy planes, like a green gun or fighter plane?

>>11460530
Nope. If seaplanes comes across fighters they're fucked.

>>11460540
That does make me wonder though in PvP--seaplanes vs. seaplanes.

>>11460565
Imagine everyone with Zero floatplanes fighting it out.

>>11460483
i was under the impression that it was loli shimakaze saying it.

even if it was akagi though, shes not the most formal and it seemed to have caught her by surprise.

>>11460570
So...tier 3 in War Thunder then.

>>11460583
There's the HB event in Guadacanal where the only Japanese fighters you can use is the A6M2 and it's floatplane version.

The floatplane version is better because you can land next to Shokaku-hime instead of crashing onto her.

All this stuff about AA has me confused as fuck now. Before people were saying that all ships did AA, just that 46cm and green guns gave a bonus effect. Now people are saying that ships absolutely can't shoot down planes without certain guns?

Also I have the 12cmx30 equipped on Maya but it doesn't make her move forward during the airstrike regardless what slot it's in. Does this mean her AA has been going to waste all this time? Fucking hell.

>>11460590
Gaijin took the joke a bit too serious
spawned, airplane started shaking and suddenly my tail is gone, then my right wing, then the left one and ive found myself unable to repair anymore

>>11460659
There are 2 AA special effect.
The one that make the ship move forward and the one that is triggered by machineguns (you notice the little fire in front of the ship).

The first one is triggered by:
12.7cm green gun
type3 ammo
46cm
10cm green gun
This effect "protects everyone". To trigger this the weapon must be in the first 3 slot.

The second one is triggered by every machinegun and it only protects the ship that is equipped with it.

Flagship always trigger the machinegun effect even if they don't have one.

I think that's all.

>>11460659
My theory is that because the 12cmx30 rocket mount doesn't have the ability to shoot ships, it'll never trigger the move-forward effect. It should trigger the tracer-fire effect like all the machine guns do.

For the question you're wondering however, try testing out taking only 2 submarines into 2-3 and finding a node with aircraft carriers. You'll notice that your lead (flagship) submarine will always trigger a tracer-fire effect, even though both of the subs' AA stats are 0 and it does jack squat to the planes.

It's much like the same way Kitakami/Ooi can shoot ships without any guns mounted at all, or how DDs/CLs/CAs can torp without torps. Raw firepower checks happen, but they're very bad though if you're overleveled like Ktkm/Ooi's final upgrades are for most farming stages, kind of okay

>>11460659
So according to >>11460699 Maya's been shooting planes, but only to protect herself.

>>11460684
I wish I can play right now, but I'm at work.

Now you imagine to have crash-landed onto Shokaku's chest.

>>11460755
no i didnt, i always smoothly and gently touch her deck with a bit of rough squeeze at the end

>>11460716
Yeah, after looking through the wiki more closely I realized there was the separate machine-gun effect. It's a lot harder to notice compared to the advancing effect and I generally never equip other machineguns so I wasn't even thinking about that. It makes sense considering the rocket launcher was more of a deterrent weapon that would never hit a plane unless it was flying straight at you. I guess I should make sure to equip a 12.7cm or something on Maya instead; I had her equipped with a 20.3cm, the 12cmx30, a yellow 15.5cm, and a type-21 radar.

On a side note, I'm glad to see that Isuzu's new remodel raises her AA cap to 84, just 5 less than Maya. I always thought it was so lame how she had the same 59 AA cap as most other CLs when she was basically a floating AA battery at the end of the war.

As for KTKM and Ooi, I just realized I fucked up on their night combat ability, I had been giving them yellow 15.5 + 5-tube torps + midget sub, but yellow + torp doesn't do shit in night combat. When they had only 2 slots (and thus I equipped no gun) they could torp in night combat instead of firing their guns, lately they've just been firing the 15.5cm. I just tried swapping the torps into the first slot to see if that would let them fire torps, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet, might be better off just giving them the 12.7 though..

>>11460684
>>11460755
All you fuckers are making me want to play this now, previously I was only hearing about it in WoT threads and never paid much attention. Probably a bad idea though, I literally haven't played a flight sim in almost 2 decades now (Dynamix games like Aces of the Pacific).

>>11460785
What does the moving forward animation look like? Is there a video or something that shows it?

>>11460785
Check out the night combat chart on the wiki: http://wikiwiki.jp/kancolle/?%C0%EF%C6%AE%A4%CB%A4%C4%A4%A4%A4%C6#ia0b18c3

It seems like you should either get the cut-in from 2 torpedoes, or if that fails, fire whatever is in the highest slot.

>>11460793
Get on it, and play Historical Battles.

And unlike WoT, the Germans are very powerful since they BnZ at like 700+ km/h and isn't afraid of anything.

>>11460800
>It seems like you should either get the cut-in from 2 torpedoes, or if that fails, fire whatever is in the highest slot.
Yeah, weapon in the first slot is used during night battle if you don't get a combo, I managed to understand that much from simple direct experience.
>>11460802
>And unlike WoT, the Germans are very powerful
Only noobs think that Krauts are underperforming in WoT.

>>11460800
Yeah, I was looking at that when I was looking up stuff about AA fire. The thing is, I don't know if midget sub counts for 2 torpedoes, I'm guessing not, as it certainly won't do anything by itself. If highest slot is always what single-fires though, then that should be good enough if I just put the 5-tube oxygen torps at the top, and she'll still fire the 15.5 during day combat.

>>11460794
It's just the ship's icon sliding forward during the airstrike, in the same way they do while firing or being targeted.

>>11460351
Alright, I'm back with proper judgment. Did a once over and cleaned up some tiny inconsistencies but this page needed an overhaul. This way's a lot more natural. I keep Akagi informal because I imagine she's talking more at the kids level but Kaga shows up later and I'd avoid things like contractions with her. Also I didn't mention it before but to the translator, you're seriously doing a great service so just ignore some asshole making worthless comments. Keeping everything on the page is gonna help out a lot since these doujins get more cluttered than the last. Take your time and get back into it when you feel up to it.

>>11460793
Even though I'm no good I've got a boner for detailed destructible models and when you finish a mission leaking gas, missing an engine, and with holes all over you feel like a champ. Though I'm not a flight sim guy and only pleb it up in arcade, I just stuck my foot in the door for when the boats show up.

>>11460830
Say I put a 5-tube torpedo, a midget sub, and a 15.5cm gun on KTKM, in that order, does she get to do the preemptive torpedo strike, a daytime cannon shot, standard daytime torpedo strike, a night shot (with the 5-tube in her first slot) and still have a chance for a night combo attack with all 3 weapons?

>>11460879
She might be able to do a 15.5 x 61 combo but I've never seen midget subs combo anything.

Took a shot at clearing 2-4 despite being pretty far under the recommendations. Made it to the boss fight in good shape, looked like I was winning and then... C rating.

>>11460879
I don't know about the combo but everything else should work like you described it.
>>11460830
>I don't know if midget sub counts for 2 torpedoes, I'm guessing not, as it certainly won't do anything by itself.
I just confirmed it, midget subs, just like aircrafts, won't do anything during night battle.

I wonder if there's anyone out there sadomasochistic enough to have a Hyper KTKM farm.

>>11460879
>>11460899
As far as I know ships only ever get 1 attack in night combat. Equipping regular torpedoes with no gun (or with gun in a lower slot, hopefully) makes a ship do a torpedo attack in place of a gun attack. (Using two midget subs on pre-50 KTKM resulted in only a crappy base firepower attack, replacing one of them with normal torpedoes changed that to a good torpedo attack). Yellow gun and torpedoes won't combo though, that's the problem I realized to start this conversation.

>>11460911
Someone was actually talking about doing it in the last thread, he wanted the 5-tube torpedoes that badly.

>>11460903
Congratulations on actually making it that far. I got stuck with a C rank myself the first time I reached the boss, and my fleet was about 15 levels higher.

Oh holy fuck, I just realized Kumano doesn't remodel until level 35. I assumed it was lvl 10 like Mogami. Welp, that's a hell of a lot more grinding before I can complete that 2 seaplane BB + 2 seaplane CA mission. Even my Choukai who I've been slowly leveling over a long time is only 34.

I guess they raised Mogami's HP just to be on par with her sisters then, as ships with low-level remodels always end up with less HP.

>>11460987
Ise sisters would like to have a word with you.

>>11461015
They're a different (and better) class than the Fusou sisters, with more HP to start out with (and then the gap narrows after remodel). I'm talking Isuzu's first remodel versus the other Nagaras, or Maya versus the other Takaos.

>>11460355
I've translated all the text on the page. It doesn't really have much except to show how playful Ikazuchi is and how she lead to the historical crash of Inazuma and Miyuki (which consequently sank Miyuki).

>>11460417
Completely fine. It looks alright.

>>11460439
I think uguu is closer, but uwah gets the point across too.

>>11460835
I'll probably do the rest of the first book later when I get off work. I kinda want to finish my Kongo and Haruna plushies first though. I'm like 80% done; just missing the socks and the skirts.

I...uh...what.

>>11461069
Nagato's penis is bigger than that.

>>11461061
Oh, forgot to mention this is missing the snore and the NA-KA-CHAN >>11460349

Are Abukuma/Mikuma/Susuya/Kumano drops only?

>>11461129
Abukuma is quite buildable (I got at least 3 of her before I finally built the more common Kinu). Last event, Suzuya was a reward for beating the 3rd event map and Kumano dropped from the event bosses. I don't believe that they're available as drops yet like the subs are. Mikuma drops from 5-2 boss.

>>11461129
Suzuya and Kumano were August event reward and drop respectively. Mikuma is boss drop from 4-3 and map 5 drop. Abukuma is craftable and you'll get her quick.

>>11461181
>>11461170

So Mogami is the only craftable seaplane cruiser at the moment?

>>11461074
Completely slipped my mind, thanks.

>>11461069
>Shimakaze
>Speedy

I know this is /b/-tier, but this just got me so hard

Finished the submarine mission, now I'm confused with the only furniture craft tool I have though I already used one before for Kongou tea set.

For what should I use it?

I fucked up. ;_;

>>11461213
If I were you I'll get the ！すでのな

>>11461213
The bathtub.

I'm thinking of using mine for the handsome Akagi ship model though, since I already have "that".

These fucking flagship CAs. Running 4-2 again and now KTKM gets critted for 40 damage in the first battle after that 74 crit to Kaga yesterday. I'm starting to think that the game must halve damage or something when your ships get hit for more than their HP (when they aren't allowed to be sunk), because the flagship BBs in 3-4 would usually only take my ships into the orange, and these CAs are instead critting me for just under my full HP and thus doing full damage. That's the only explanation I can think of for how they consistently do more damage than yellow BBs.

So is this game basically unplayable? I wouldn't expect neets to be that active at 8 am

>>11461235
I wonder if anti-air capability is factored into defense versus carrier "shelling."

>>11461239
Read the wiki

>>11461239
Read http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Tutorial:_How_to_Register

>>11461239
You can only join a server via lottery. Lottery is every 17:30 JST time. Once you win the lottery, you're in for good.

>>11461239
When I got my space, the server they opened at 4:00:00 was 90% full, and it was 4:00:25. So make of that what you will.

>>11461249
... I don't think it works like that.

>>11461246
So I have to be around at 1-2am?
Oh well, guess I'll just hope they improve their system/infrastructure at some point.

>>11461265
Nah, the lottery is destined to stay.

>>11461265
It's okay like that

>>11461282
Why? Because it ensures that only the most autistic people can play?

>>11461238
I'm pretty sure it is, and that's why BBs are so hard for planes to hurt aside from their armor.

And on that topic, my very next 4-2 run I get the flagship CV before the boss, everything else is already dead with no damage suffered yet, then it crits Ooi for 32 damage. I ran 4-2 about 50 times back when I was trying to get Zuihou and I had to turn back before boss maybe 1 or 2 times in all those runs, now I've failed 3 times in my last 5 runs.

I'm just about ready to quit using my torpedo cruisers, this is about all they ever do, get critted by carriers and send me back to base. They only have an AA cap of 49 and it really shows.

>>11461288
It's not meant for us foreigners. It's meant for Japanese, and 17:30 JST is a perfectly fine time for them.

>>11461288
Sucks to be hours away from JST, right?

>>11461293
I know that. But just because it's a better time for them doesn't mean it's a good thing to make people attempt multiple times and follow whats going on for a while just to try to get an account.

Economically, I would expect they would want to expand and get enough servers that they can actually fit anyone. Unless their goal is to restrict it to the people who are obsessive and more likely to pay money and scare away people who are just curious about giving it a try.

>>11461301
It must've been working just fine, seeing as how they've gotten hundreds of thousands of new registrations even after the lottery was put in place.

>>11461301
Of course they'll expand the server, in fact today they'll have new server. But the lottery system will stay, anyway. They could manage the server demand from the lottery participants and the system could also work as hype building.

>>11461288
Actually the lottery and the language barrier ensure that /a/utistics don't play.

What's the very first ship you felt a strong connection to? Mine's the Kiso.

>>11461330
Hasn't stopped them from flooding /jp/ with dumb questions though.

>>11461335
My very first ship daughteru. I reserved first remodelling for her, and now she's still leading her expedition fleet.

Also, best DD design hands down.

>>11461344
If I annoyed you, then perhaps someone should consider updating the pastebin or "Getting Started" image to mention the lottery. Usually when you see a bunch of "Server Full" then you assume it's just because too many people are logged in.

>>11461353
When too many people are logged in, the tripped girl will appear, not the 'server full' boxes. Those appear when no lottery is ongoing.

>>11461350
My best ship is still at level 8. Can you enlighten me on how remodeling works?

>>11461353
Or you can just look at the wiki because it answers the question

>>11461362
When one ship reaches certain level, you can remodel her for better stats and stat caps, and for some types, they could also get type change and unlocked equipment slot.

For level requirement, check wiki page of each ship.

>>11461335
Kongo. Akagi instead was kind of disappointing, she was the reason I started playing in the first place but those fanarts on pixiv gave me a different impression.
>>11461344
It'll keep them most of them at bay though, at least I got that impression from following out of boredom /a/'s threads yesterday.

>>11461367
I see. So it's automatic, or do I have to do something for the remodel to happen? Also, I'd like to know what it means when you have the orange frowny face next to the ships, the wiki or the images didn't really explain that.

>>11461363
Or all the resources could be up to date, rather than people needing to realize that something is wrong and look through other resources.

>>11461335
Soryuu. She was my first carrier and she's been with me since.

10 seconds until my Destroyer finishes building. I hope its a Hibiki.

>>11461335
Kaga. I got her off the luckiest craft when I had just started playing and didn't think much of her at first but underneath her stone cold demeanor I can feel the love. I haven't had any luck with carriers since then but I don't need it because she blows everything out of the water.

>>11461374
>So it's automatic, or do I have to do something for the remodel to happen?
You have to select the command in the same screen of the modernisation, the one with the cogwheels.
>, I'd like to know what it means when you have the orange frowny face next to the ships
They're tired, you have to let them rest or they'll perform badly I guess that 4channers will start screaming and whining when they see that smiley...

>>11461374
You need to do it manually by clicking that right button, with some payments of steel and ammo. When the level requirement is reached, that button will be clickable.
>orange frowny face next to the ships
Fatigue. Ship daughters also need rest.

>>11461335

Arare.
She's never left my fleet the moment I got her.

How do I stop the BB fleet node from cockblocking me? I've tried double line formation for armor boost (crits everywhere), I tried straight line formation for evasion boost (crits everywhere), I tried running each individual ship through 1-1 until they're all shiny (the compass always takes me north). That node is leaving a huge stain on my sortie win/lose record.
Should I just give up and try 4-3 instead?

>>11461428
Tons of turbines and luck.

>>11461335
I love all of my kanmusu, but I suppose Fubuki was the first as she is my starter.

>>11461428
your level is too low.

>>11461435
Where can I get myself some luck? Because I'd really love some.

>>11461335
Murakumo. Then she sank.

>>11461350
She was the first ship that I sunk.

>>11461335
Fuso. She was my first battleship and apparently very determined to end her reputation as an unlucky sister, because she has been crafting a steady stream of holo equipment since I've got her. Whenever I try to craft with Kaga all I get are recon planes and common fighters, but when I switch back to Fuso the 46cms and turbines resume raining down.

Her sister dropped soon after, and now they've earned a permanent spot on the roster. I suppose the 2-4 victory is what really forges a team.

Shokaku here was never in any danger of sinking, nothing had hit her in the previous nodes. It was a relief when all the BBs decided to wail on her and Yamashiro because neither could sink in that battle.

I can't seem to register my credit card to receive 500 points in the store. Anyone else running into issues too?

>>11461498
Are you using VPN? For free point, IIRC you don't need to use that.

>>11461450
What is the recommended minimum level? From what happened to that other teitoku I see that 30 isn't still good enough apparently, should I grind until 40? Or is it still not good enough? Keep in mind that I probably won't have enough turbines for everyone unless I become really luck (and/or rich) all of a sudden.

>>11461450
>>11461435

Just beaten it.
I remembered I still have the 6 free emergency repairs and equipped them on all 6 ships, then pushed on despite damages from the BB node.

The girls have been rewarded with Mamiya ice cream.

>>11461522
One of the wikis recommended minimum of 25, the other one said it's 30ish.
Both cite luck being a major factor though.

>>11461522
30+ and luck
Just keep running it.

>>11461523
Wait, six? Where are they come from? I only have 2 right now.

>>11461532
>>11461533
Thanks, I'll start trying from level 30 and capped armour/torpedo to all destroyers. I'm also thinking about following the emergency repair strategy, the new Mikawa fleet quest will give me the 5th one when I'll get around completing it.

>>11461335
Melon-chan. She's my first crafted ship. While she's not part of my main fleet, she will be the ship that will be in the fleet to level grind low level ships. She's pretty much the fleet instructor.

>>11461522
30+ is okay, by the time you reached the boss you should at least be 40 something thanks to the compass. Don't forget to modernize to increase the armor while at it.

>>11461539
From the fleet quests I guess? I've done most of them and I don't know where else they could've came from.

I beat 3-2 on my second try with lvl 30 destroyers (Inazuma lvl 40+) and common turbines. But trying to run it additional times for Nagato drop from boss, I've only managed to beat it a couple more times despite being higher level, having Yukikaze in place of Hatsuharu, and having 3 rare turbines now. Half the time I can't even get past the first battle because Shimakaze gets critted down to a few HP by torpedoes or some shit.

>>11461586
Wouldn't 3-3 boss be an easier farm? Getting to the boss is piss easy compared to 3-2, and the boss itself isn't that strong.

>>11461621
Does that map need certain requirement to get to the boss?

>>11461631
You need at least 2 carriers (either CV or CVL will do). Or else it will always take you to the north route.

>>11461645
No DD or CL requirement? That's surprising.

>>11461650
Just 2 CVs, you wouldn't come across another map requiring specific ships until 4-3. Though maps from 4-1 and onwards have submarines.

>>11461688
Noted. Thanks.

Today is a good day

>>11461335
Define strong connection. Do you mean 'love' or do you mean the ship that you relate to? If the former, Kongou and if the latter, Hyuga because she's my first BB and she's probably the only contemplative character in the whole game.

So, does repair time increases with level, and if so is this why people keep saying you'd need hundreds of buckets for the event maps?

My damaged CV just went in the dock for 8 hours and I was pretty sure it used to be around 2 hours at most.

>>11461806
I'm laughing at this more than I should

>>11461813
Event map bosses have regenerating health bar.

>>11461817
Gotta love bad Japanese puns.

>>11461813
Yes. The type of ship factor as well, check the wiki. My Nagato in the red had a 10 hours+ repair time at level 39. I really need to open the other two docks, fast.

>>11461335

Haruna. She was my first BB and my highest leveled ship at the moment. Waifu-tier girl.

Now only if her sister would just come out already..

>>11461335
Kaga. I got her off my first carrier recipe right before going to bed on my first day. I did a few sorties with her and ended up sleeping much later than I had planned.

What should I do if I want a Hibiki? I have 1 craft token, and I'm currently only level 5. Does level even matter with crafting. If not, where can she be found?

>>11461195

>>11461973
She's pretty common, so just do your sortie and you will get her. Have you gotten her other sisters yet?

I was going through equipment for my ships and I have two of these things. What are they?

>>11461973
> level 5
Don't be looking for specific ships already, now. Just enjoy the game and dote on all kanmusu that arrive your way. Build 30/30/30/30 to unlock 2nd and 3rd fleet (check English and Japanese wiki for details on unlocking fleets and other beginner tips).

Are Tenryuu and Tatsuda really sisters? I thought they were just good friends.

>>11462001
All kanmusu from the same class are sisters.

Talking of which, how does it work for classes like Fusou/Ise, Mogami/Tone, etc? Are they cousins?

>>11462001
Tenyru refers Tatsuda as her partner or a colleague if you will.

>>11461974
poor tenryu. can't ever avoid being the target of bullying...

>>11462001
It's interchangeable... sorta. The original text says big sister/little sister, but it can be directed to just people older or younger than you. You can call someone onee-sama without being actual blood relation.

>>11461974

>>11462010
>>11462013
>>11462034
Ah, I see. Thank you for clearing that up.

>>11462034
This one is super weird. It's really... twisted.

>>11462075
Don't talk about food in front of Akagi, unless you are feeding her.

...Why are you putting the text over with a fading effect instead of just erasing the text in the bubbles and replacing? It's annoying me.

>>11462105
Those are WIP images for TS/editor and for those who don't want to wait for the TS/edited version. Just ignore them if they so "annoy" you.

>>11462105
Because the typesetter bro is gonna do that. I'm translating for him and showing him where they go.

>>11462103
A wild Kaga appears.

>>11462120

>>11461838
I have 4 docks and I still usually have half a dozen ships waiting in line, now that even minor scrapes can take between 40 minutes to 2 hours.

If they release an option to double your docks to 8, I'd buy it in an instant, price be damned.

Several questions from someone who just started yesterday:

My main fleet is flagship Chiyoda, and a mix of heavy and light cruisers. Trying to get to the 1-3 boss but the compass just won't let me - is it purely random?

Also, is it alright to be trying for Shimakaze, or try for Kongou (I heard battleships aren't useful now as they suck up too much oil), and if not, where's a good place to farm these rare ships? It seems 2-2 is good?

Thanks!

>>11462124
And Kaga explodes.

>>11462144
>Also, is it alright to be trying for Shimakaze
Not a very heavy recipe, gets you heavy cruisers (good foodstock) and submarines as well as Shimakaze/Yukikaze. Go ahead.
>Kongou
Not recommended to shoot for a specific BB, but you'll need battleships for later levels anyway, so you can go ahead and try a few 400/30/600/30 recipes.

2-2 is good not only for potential ship rewards, but also because it greatly boosts your T-levels. It has a solid chance to catapult you directly into the boss, potentially netting you some 800 admiral experience in one go. At one point, my level was higher than my entire fleet's due to mass 2-2 farming.

>>11462149
And I'm done. I can translate the little words on the author's afterword page if you want, but I'm not gonna translate the actual paragraph itself.

>>11462144
I'd usually point a post like this to the wiki, but at least your post was put together with effort.

> My main fleet is flagship Chiyoda, and a mix of heavy and light cruisers. Trying to get to the 1-3 boss but the compass just won't let me - is it purely random?
There are no listed required fleet composition for 1-3, but the compass in most (all?) maps do seem to be affected in varying degrees to different fleet composition.

>Shimakaze
>Kongou
A battleship is fine even at lower level, and Shimakaze would serve you all the way to high levels. Try a battleship recipe or 250/30/200/30 once a day or so, but I would focus more on making one or two ships strong for now (Chiyoda and a heavy cruiser, for example).

I jost got my first Imuya, what is the best way to grind her? 1-1-1 or 3-1?

>>11461335
Hyper Kitakami-sama.

Everytime I undertake a new map, I prepare for her a sacrificial meal of DDs and CLs, so that she may bless me with 40 barrels of divine wrath against my most dreaded enemies.

>>11462162
Actually, from my experience 400/100/600/30 generally yield better results. I'm trying to build for Mutsu/Nagato right now and I've gotten Kongou like 5 times, not including Kirishima and Hiei.

Only ever gotten Haruna once though, she must be especially rare or something.

>>11462144
Anytime you want to go somewhere, 70% the game won't take you there. You won't need specific ships to get anywhere until 3-2.

Heavy cruisers and light carriers will provide you with enough firepower up until 2-3, that's when you need bigger guns.

I've gotten alot of BB drops from 2-2, but at a rate of about 1 Hyuga/Fuso/Kirishima/Yamashiro every 20-30 runs. I wouldn't go there EXPECTING to get a BB drop, but you'd end up going there alot anyway because it's the easiest map to farm supply ships and world 2 bosses (both of which are daily quest targets).

>>11462176
Doesn't really matter. Anywhere I take her she's going to take one hit and be taken to the orange/red. Just grind her at 3-2 like any other ship, albeit between repairs.

>>11462144
>Try for big battleships
When you're at higher levels battleships drop as often as Naka-chan da yo

Kirishima and Haruna stalk me every boss fight, pretending to bump into me, I swear

>>11462120
I'm surprised that the album doesn't have a child admiral with a small "t" head instead of his glorious capital "T".

Teitokus, I have at least 5 Isuzus in stock. wat do?

>>11462478
Farm them for radars, what else? Are you asking that question on purpose?

inb4 someone posts that Isuzu farm comic

Just not getting any turbines. I have been using highest level CV (Akagi lvl60) with 110/300/250/10 or 110/300/250/250. Is the right formula as it varies in the wiki?

Going so broke on ammo now.

>>11462515
You can do 100/10/200/10 for turbines (only). The two formula you listed are mainly for 46cm with turbines as a by-product.
110/300/250/250 will give you radars as well but since there are so many possibilities with the recipe, the chance of getting turbines is pretty slim.

Just 1 hour more if I'm not mistaken, good luck!

>>11462515
Try using different flagship, IIRC that formula needs BB flagship.

Guys, I have read some conflicting information about remodelling and modernizing.

I have read from some posts that remodelling randomly redistributes the stats you gain from modernizing. Is this true?

If this is true it means that I should modernize as much as possible before remodelling to get the most amount of stats in other areas that you don't normally get to reach.
For example, you might have a maxed out Torpedo stat because you keep throwing Destroyers at a girl. Therefore if you max out her Torpedo stat and remodel, you might get some extra stat on Armour.

However, I have also read that remodelling removes all bonus stats gained from modernizing. If this is true, that means I should avoid modernizing at all costs while throwing my spare big ships at a fully upgraded girl.

Someone clarify this.

Is having my entire fleet made of only battleships to do tons of damage a bad idea?

Is that safe to use flash projector ? or they are talking about VPN, plugins or bot ?

>>11462557
Enjoy not having fuel and ammo. I tried this before, and after a sortie from 3-4 they wanted to eat 500+ units of fuel and ammo.

>>11462559
This sounds like referring to botting. I don't know flash well enough to say if using the official adobe flash projector constitutes to breaking the rules. It depends on what kind of data a flash projector sends to the server vs the data that flash embedded in browsers sends to the servers.

>>11462553
Personally I have only heard it is the former, but I'll let someone more qualified to answer that.

>>11462557
Yes. Because resources and subs. Also the lack of firepower on preemptive strikes and no torpedoes.

>>11462559
Sounds like they're talking about bots. Definitely wouldn't be VPNs, since they can't really even tell if someone is using one.

So... when does the lottery begin? 15:30 or 18:30?

>>11462557
No aircraft carriers? You can't scout and get an advantageous position (this can mean a lot). You don't get a pre-emptive bombing phase either.

No torpedo cruisers? You don't get a pre-emptive torpedo strike.

No cruisers or destroyers of any kind? You don't get post-battle torpedo salvo phase.

No submarines? Submarines tend to attract all the fire, being underwater means most will miss. You don't have an evasion-tank.

Now suppose your battleships miss (and they do more often than not). Suddenly you're at a really disadvantageous position. The enemy has all these free strikes and you don't.

There is resilience in diversity, it's true.

Hey guys, sorry to bring this up again, but I can't seem to find the previous thread that talked about it or on the wiki itself.

There was some discussion about equipment placement on the ships, where some equipments had no effect on the 4th slot I believe. What sort of equipments are we talking about there, radars and ammo-shells?

>>11462592
First round at 15:30, second round at 18:30, they did mention about 2 servers yesterday and the estimated is bout 50,000 for today.

>>11462592
1530 and 1830 JST.

>>11462592
Both, 50000 slots total.

>>11462531
You can use CVs to get turbines but you won't be getting any main guns so anything above 100 ammo is wasteful.

>>11462592
>>11462592
Did you even try google translate ?
I'm a bit sad for the new, completely ignorant of moon teitokus.
Feels like they are wasting their time.

>>11462579
I think they can track you are using VPN or not (change IP everyday, large number of login from same IP etc..) and some VPN user see B-001 error, if they really want to ban VPN user, most of us already dead.
So VPN user should not be their target.
They did mention about stop using cellphone to play kancolle because their cache is small and keep loading content from server, that could be their real target, but flash program definitely is an illegal way to connect... just hope our flash projector wont cause so called "heavy load" to the server and they will ignore it for good.

>>11461335
Kongou, her BURNING LOVE keeps me motivated.

>>11462557
no, if you don't mind wasting bucket and resources.

>>11462579
i just hope they didn't classify multiple login through one VPN IP as botting.
