Maintenance tonight at the usual time. Brace for new girl.

>>11635330
I look forward to Kirishima K2 and the first of the coastal defense vessels.

Soon

Zuihou is a cute girl with a candy cane bow.

>>11635347
Is the official design or a fan-made design?

Don't let me down.

>>11635330
>>11635340
>本日も、気合い、入れて、頑張ってまいりましょう！
Uh-oh, looks like HIEI is gonna get it since they hinted it on twitter!

You don't actually think they're going to use the last remaining BB upgrade slot in the encyclopedia for another Kongou class upgrade, do you?

>>11635330
I-401 please.

>>11635347

>>11635358
It's like you haven't noticed just how disorganized the numbering system in the index is. Why does it even matter if it's the last slot on the page? There's nothing stopping the devs from adding more pages, and they will have to, us there's definitely more girls coming.

>>11635375

>>11635368
They're going to fill up the current slots before they start adding new pages. It likely means two new ships and two new upgrades. There's actually some reason to the numbering system: for example, with the exception of Musashi, all of the slots on the final page are for Kai 2s of earlier ships. This seems to indicate that there's a good likelihood that the two remaining slots on that page are going to be for the same.

>>11635347
>KONGOU

I'm confused.

>>11635356
>>11635402
I think that's the modern destroyer named after Kongou.

So fake.

>>11635402
Here you go.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kong%C5%8D-class_destroyer

Seriosly, that image is legit or not?

>>11635407
Oh, I see. Thanks.

>>11635358
Hopefully, they won't do the same thing they did to Kongou. Especially that half-arsed damage sprite.

>>11635347
Artist's impressions for these can be so nice. I sorta like Musashi's current design, but still prefer the blue-haired mock-up some artist did.

>>11635415
>Seriously, that image is legit or not?
... why the fuck would you even ask? It's from Pixiv and it depicts a ship which was commissioned forty-five years after the end of the Pacific War.

>>11635423
I'm hoping some of these designs will be polished and included into the game in a design contest of sorts.

>>11635426
I wrote that question before reading well the Wiki page, I was somewhat hyped for the design. And I forgot to delete it.

Just me being an idiot, nothing more.

>>11635423
I remember the artist who did the mock Musashi design being amused/annoyed when he found out someone jumped the gun and made bootleg merchandises based on his design.

>>11635463

i'll delete this post myself later, or maybe not.

does boss regen during maintenance?

>>11635494
no

>>11635494
I wish Musashi would rape you with her 46 cm.

I saw on the wiki that it's an online maintenance, so are the server getting shut down? Referring to the doorblog, seems like only four of them will be closed, while the others are going to be running.

Contemplating if I should send my daughters into a long hours expedition.

>>11635354
Would she let me suck on it?

>>11635283
>What. Once you get them to level 10, you can just run 2-3 over and over again. It even pays for itself in terms of fuel costs.
Wouldn't that shit all over your wain-rate that can bite you in the ass when you try to do the events?

>>11635522
Only if you're using a single sub, where a lone crit will generally make you lose a battle. With two subs you'll only lose around one out of every twenty five battles.

>>11635330
Offline or online maintenance?

fuck, i was planning on doing E-5 tonight. guess i'll do it tomorrow.

is the "usual time" 21:00? i seem to remember it being at 21:00 before.

>>11635650
It is always 11JST time.

>>11635643
Both.

If you're on any of these servers, you will go offline (the boss gauges won't recover):

【トラック泊地サーバ】
【リンガ泊地サーバ】
【ラバウル基地サーバ】
【ショートランド泊地サーバ】

It's business as usual for the others.

>>11635669
What servers are these in numbers? I've got no idea how server 12 is called.

>>11635729
none of those are 12
i only know because im on 12 and it's parao or something similar.

Anyone on 13?

400/30/600/30 third try

>>11635993

You tempt me to try it again anon.

>>11635993
Enjoy your bear

Is there a recommended E4 fleet comp that works in the japanese wikis/boards?
Failed my first E4 run and want to give it another try but I dont know what to use

>>11636056
2x Kongo 2x torpedo 2x CA

Cute girls doing smooching things.

>>11636056

>>11636074
Can you use a third battleship instead of Ooi for that without getting to dead ends every time?

My Ooi is only 20 so she wont be useful there.

>>11636087
Yes but it can't be a Kongo class, or else you'll get -ammo node.

>>11636114
He only has to do that for the last run, really.

>>11636123
Physical upgrades, read the twitter.

>>11636109
Nobody wants the Fusou class.

>>11636109
That's a horrible fleet composition, the subs will rip you a new one and you won't even be able to reach the boss most of the time.

I'll be farming E5 once they launch the update with Yamato, Musashi, Mutsu, Nagato, Ise, Hyuuga. Best fleet and best route.

>>11636143
There are subs in E4? Since when?

>>11636154
>E4
Holy shit how did I miss that.

>>11636143
Should share a E4 fleet comp instead of a E5 one

>>11636143
Shimakaze, Yukikaze, Maikaze, Yuudachi, Shigure and Hibiki trump your slow and fat useless BBs.

>>11636109
CA can also deal good damage to E4 boss. Enjoy the enemy gold CA/DD crit your BB every single node

>>11636171
And how's Akatsuki doing?

So, people discuss this all the time but they never come to an agreement on this.

Can ships sink in orange or not? Some say that ships wont sink in orange and other people say that the devs said they can sink in orange and its dangerous.
Which one is it?

>>11636196
Please don't start this shit.

Just look through the archives and make a decision for yourself.

>>11636196
Why don't you find out for yourself?

Made my account so I can see what all this hype is about.

>>11636196
I had a few DD sink from orange at the E-2 boss. Same, obviously, with red, but never with yellow.

>>11636196
They can't but why take my word for it? Instead, take a fleet with damecons and try it out for yourself.

>>11636184
These days I just let the Akatsuki sisters run about in the HQ and do chores occasionally. Verniy too, unless it's important business. It's good that they won't have to see violence for a long while.

>>11636202
I guarantee that none of your orange ships will ever sink.

>>11636196
>the devs said they can sink in orange and its dangerous.
Only fools fall for the devs propaganda and buy damage control. Dont let them jew you. All the people saying how their ships sank at orange are all paid by the devs to spread lies.

>>11636142
I'd use them if my other BBs didn't need the levels more, and if my preferred fleet compositions for this event didn't call for a maximum of two BBs which had to be Kongo-class.

>>11636196
Trust the Japanese wiki, they're more reliable than the lying Americans and Euros on this website.

>>11636224
Always trust Wo-chan

>>11636218
Or all the people who say otherwise are assholes that want to see their fellow admirals suffer through sunken ships
given what 4chan and /jp/ is like, that makes much more sense than what you claim

>>11636196
Ask your mom.

I've never had an orange ship sunk doing E-4 and E-5. I've tested this with level 1 DDs as well so it's not the sparkles that prevent this.

>>11636196
There are no video to proof that ships will sink with orange damage

>>11636237
More like opposite.
The people spreading lies want to cause fear and paranoid for people trying to attempt E-4 and E-5. Why they do this you ask? So that they can be the elite 50k with Musashi while the rest give up out of fear of having their ship sinking at orange.

I've never been struck by lightning, ergo it is impossible for a person to be struck by lightning. Any statements to the contrary are lies from just industry shills trying to sell lightning rods.

Well, while we're on this topic, I'll try out the infamous "Ships can't sink in night battle if they enter day battle in full hp" myth.

>>11636196

>>11636265
Yeah, you should totally retreat on green. Why, you should retreat even if you took no damage, because no one has been able to prove conclusively that full health without fatigue protects from sinking!

>>11636268
Doing it at 4-3, entering day battle in full hp.

>>11636271
This.

>>11636268
Posted this in the previous thread but might as well repost:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPIKBj1qQuA

I understand it's not a large sample size, but it's still enough to convince me that at the very least, it is generally safe to go into night battle with a ship that got hit into the red during the day.

>>11636268
>>11636278
Nevermind, I'm a retard, they just blasted through 4-3 first node without any problems, I'll bring 6 DD instead.

I have tested an infinite amount of times and can say with certainty that starting a battle with ships in orange means that they won't sink.

>>11636268
If you're doing that out of boredom anon, could you also try the "ships won't eat cut-ins if the fleets's evasion stat is 300+" theory.

>>11636276
The difference here is there have been official statements that it is possible to sink while you're in "中破". Either the devs are lying, or the possibility of sinking exists.

Flagship never sink because they always retreat at red.
This imply that only red ship can sink.
The devs didnt code the flagship spot differently compare to the other slot, they just code it so that if the flagship can be sunk, they auto retreat your whole fleet.

In August E-2, I got my level 37 KTKM-sama killed when I entered the boss fight in orange and went to night battle. I'm pretty sure she was in orange when the night battle started. She took a heavy crit hit from the boss' hit and sank.

It was pretty traumatic.

>>11636294
It is possible to sink at any level of health when fatigued.

>>11636299
>The devs didnt code the flagship spot differently compare to the other slot
Clearly you weren't playing before the flagship retreat on red was implemented. It was coded differently.

>>11636299
Welcome to the game. That was only added after the August event.

>>11636304
You weren't sure enough.
She was definitely in red.

>>11636304
What is this?
No proof?
No picture?
Get out DMM dev and update your fucking server instead of trolling.

>>11636308
But jaypee told me that if you enter a battle above red, you won't sink in night even if you're brought to red during day!

>>11636312
That was an obvious lie.

300/30/400/401

after too many failed tries, Finally a 2nd carrier.

>>11636345
How did you accumulate all those resources?

>>11636308
> red
Maybe when night battle started. I know she was in orange, because I was fucking worried about pressing that proceed button after the pre-boss node with her in orange. Support fleet not showing up made me + not dealing much damage to the boss during the day + Kitakami-sama surviving clouded my judgement and I hit that night battle button. Re-reading the comments in that thread, the boss dealt about 330 damage to her.

>>11636345
Stop crafting admiral. Go beat the event instead.

>>11636352
That's not a lot of resources. Barely enough to scrape E-3, let alone touch E-4.

>>11636352
what is hoarding?

>>11636358
Oh well, I'm always doing sorties so I just have less than 2k all the time.

>>11636352
By cheating at 3-2, notice the amount of steel compare to the rest of the other resources.

>>11636370
Well, this is mine here. I didn't abuse anything, but the steel kept pilling up as I didn't use it much.

>>11636359
thats more than enough to complete E-3, i had terrible compass luck on e-3 being sent through 4 combat nodes preboss a bunch of times and it still only cost me 6k/6k/5k/6k + about 5 hours regen/expeditions.

So, the only (secondary) weapon of choice for DDs is the 10cm gun?

>>11636384
10 cm high-angle is a main gun. Read the wiki.

>>11636345
Getting them from drop is much more satisfying than crafting. Enjoy your blue background anon.

>>11636398
Then there's no way for DDs to achieve double attack while equipped with a torpedo. Fuck.

>>11636402
You can provided you just want the torpedo stat.
10cm
10cm
midget sub

>>11636412
>midget sub
Admiral please.

>>11636412
Oh well, leveling the plane sisters now for those subs.

>>11636412
you cant equip midget subs to ships that cannot use them as far as i know, they simply dont appear in the equipment list.

>>11636420
oh shit, I forgot that DD cant equip midget
tough luck anon, just put 3torpedo on them for maximum cut-in efficiency

Next lottery when?

>>11636402
you can

read the wiki please

>>11636405
So true.

>>11636426
I seriously wish people would stop fucking up Kantoku's art with shitty shops like that.

>>11636428
>>11636405
I haven't gotten to that point in the game. I need to get started with the event maps, so I can suffer with everybody.

>>11636440

Have fun farming 200 runs with only a few runs yielding anything decent.

>>11636427
To get a double attack with a torpedo equipped, I need two secondary weapons. DDs can't equip any.

>>11636446
hint: Agano class.

>>11636430
But they look great, I like them

>>11636456
They are CLs. 8cm high angle can't be equipped on DDs.

>>11636456
ushio should be a cl with those tits

>>11636464
damn, assumed it would work considering the 10cm high angle is useable by both DD and CL

Yahagi

>>11636491
Another Agano class? Well, looks like I won't be bothering.

Perhaps this is the new E5 drop

>>11636491
1% random drop at E-5 boss node?

I enjoy gloves.

>>11636493
So I can skip it and save resource for the yamato building spree then.

>>11636500
using her glove to pacify your dick?

>>11636500

She's even pulling it.

That's even better.

>>11636491
Man, I don't even have Agano yet. DMM whyyy

>>11636507
What about using her glove to fap while she's not looking and return it without her noticing?

>>11636491
I-is that a side ponytail?

>>11636491
How boring. I like their design, but there's really no use for another average CL, especially when I have her sisters to level already.

>>11636520
Thanks for the lubricant, admiral.

>>11636524
You do know that you don't play this game for stats, right?

>>11636520

Then she puts it on, notices what's inside,looks at you, then keeps it on?

>>11636534
Dont forget to give her a wink or a seductive smile when she looks at you, its a important part of it.

>>11636534

>>11636532
No problem, there's more from where that came from. Just let me know if you need more.

>>11636534
That evening the kempeitai knock on your door, and the next day everyone wonders where admiral went.

>>11636534
Can someone roleplay this out with me?
Please leave a contact email.

>>11636550
http://exhentai.org/g/647670/5d71364328/

>>11636491
Yahagi is devs favorite, she should be holo.

>>11636533
No need to remind me. I'm just disappointed that it's yet another Konishi kanmusu (whose design I like, but I've been seeing enough of them lately + there's probably another one coming in a few hours) rather than I-401 whose design has been revealed for a long time. Sure 401 is probably going to have a gold background at minimum, but this is E-5 that they are asking us to grind.

>>11636564
>Holo rarity
>E5 drop only
The devs in this are huge dicks, dear god.

I hope she drops from E3 too, she's going to be rarer than musashi at this rate.

>>11636564
Ok.
Back to E3 for me. I rather get zuikaku than some trophy CL that I wont use.

>>11636564
>>11636569
Or maybe Sakawa, 4th Agano class sister, as her birthday(of building) is 21th.

>>11636584
It's Sakawa, 'cos of those gloves.

Only one more Kongou sister to go, and she's the ugliest one.

>>11636584

Judging from her service career I'm more inclined they use Yahagi instead. That way we can have another composition quest for a free repair crew

>>11636597
What if Kirishitma get the kai2 instead of Haruna?
How many of you would scrapped her out of anger?

Hello fellow teitokus, Newbie admiral here.
So I decided to beat 2-4 today. Do you think my fleet is viable?
I have a Kongou, but she's still low-level, and I can't wait to clear 2-4 once for all.
And also, could you give me some advice for the equipment?

>>11636601
I won't because I need all the firepower that I can get. Being cute or whatever is secondary to me...

Perhaps after the event.

>>11636602
overleveled for 2-4

>>11636601
I already scrapped all my Kirishimas. Only Hiei, Kongou(still not remodel2) and Haruna are left.

>>11636601
Can you stop this character war incitement? It's pathetic to watch.

>>11636602
more than viable. Just hope that compass points you south path.

I did 2-4 with 2 subs. you have 3 BB overleveled so yo ushould be more than set.

>>11636602
Overleveled.
Even E-3 is a cakewalk with your fleet.

>>11636602
2-4 is all up to the compass.

Hi guys, new admiral here. How ready am I for 2-4?

>>11636602
I wanna kill you for having all those nice ships so early.

>>11636621
>Musashi not 99
Admiral pls

>>11636621
Nice try pal.

>>11636621
You need Agano or the compass won't send you to the boss node.

>>11636621
Level up your Musashi a bit more.

>>11636613
I love Kirishima and a low-level shitpost doesn't even bother me.
>How many of you would scrapped her out of anger? (>>11636601)
The dude can't even into English, pfft.

>>11636621
You clearly need more levels on your Musashi.
Better yet drop her and Noshiro and just cheese it with 2 subs. You don't have the balls to beat 2-4 normally anyway.

>>11636621
You'll never make it if you don't hurry up and get a fifth ship. What a noob.

>>11636627
But she eats so much fuel and ammo..
>>11636625
Will get her after they release the third Agano sister.
>>11636624
I havn't attempted 2-4 yet though, how is it a nice try?

>>11636621
You're not going anywhere with your iku in repairs.

>>11636633
I honestly find it hard to believe someone finished E-5 before 2-4.

Who is the ugliest ship? and why is it Fuso?

>>11636606
>>11636611
>>11636615
>>11636617
>>11636622

Well, it is true that I haven't beaten 2-4. And maybe I'm just too scared to have low resources...
Thanks for your advice. And somehow I have to make sure that the compass girls don't be to cruel to us.

I even haven't beaten E-2. Maybe I should give it a try after this.

>>11636621
How do you cheat at 3-2 without beating 2-4?
Reporting your screenshot directly to DMM, enjoy your ban.

>>11636639
Just because they're the next then to spectral wraiths doesn't mean you should be mean to them.

>>11636641
I obviously hated enough money to get those resources up there.

>>11636639
Are you also the same guy who kept saying Ise sisters' design was shit? What made you change your target to the Fuso fans?

>>11636630
Are you seriously expecting facebook to into engrish?

>>11636636
Well, I beat E-5 before 3-2. Still haven't beaten 3-2. DDs are a pain to level.

>>11636639
Nagara is pretty ugly.

>>11636661
What about those niggers from myoukou class?

現在作業中のメンテ＆オンメンテには、アップデートが伴います。このアップデートでは、新改装(改造)が可能となる戦艦娘1隻、イベント最深部に追加配置される新軽巡洋艦娘1隻に加え、白露型駆逐艦1番艦娘「白露」改の新グラ＆追加ボイス、新家具3種類の実装が予定されています。

Isn't it sad, Murasame?

>>11636654
They're has always been a guy insisting the Fusou sisters are ugly.

>>11636662
At least they're hilarious when damaged. Nagara is just bland and ugly.

>>11636661
She would be cute if it wasn't for the forehead

>>11636663
So.. the non-Nagato fall furniture is going away?

>>11636663
> 「白露」改
The only Shiratsuyu whom I haven't even leveled to 20 yet, argh.

>>11636663
Is it sad?

>>11636663
All is right in the world

>>11636663

Despite it not being Murasame, I'm happy it's another Shiratsuyu class ship.

>>11636672
She is rarer than both Yukikaze and Shimakaze.

>>11636663
a BB re-remodel.
New CL on deepest E maps.
Remodeled Siratsuyu gets visual & audio upgrade.
Three winter furniture.

>>11636672
I don't even have her anymore.

I'll probably run into her anyway while sparkling my fleet for my return to E-5.

Have they confirmed the new shipdaughter is E-5 boss drop yet? Also has anyone gotten anything good from farming E-5 with subs. The best I've gotten out of 40ish runs is a ktkm.

Reporting my result.

Get to the boss node on the first try, a perfect s on every node. But my fleet is critical'd by every battleships at the boss node.

Thanks everyone, maybe my next target is to beat E-2 and E-3.

you guys are faggots. Shiratsuyu was the best without a remodel, and will once again be the best afterwards. i hope.

>>11636663
Time to level your Shiratsuyu since her second remodel is co-mmingg!

>>11636663
She should just hang out with the Akatsuki sisters sans Bep.

>>11636682
She's rare? I have two, I think

>>11636683
I wonder how big the visual upgrade will be for Shiratsuyu-Kai. It's not a second remodel, right?

Interesting interview in Febri Vol.19, by Tanaka Producer:

If you think and extend the words from previous event bosses and future event bosses when they sink, you will see the reality of abyss ship and dark side of Kancolle world.

>DARK SIDE.

YES.

>>11636703
I'm sure it's just a lewder damage state. Hers in its current state was on the lazy side even though she's the nameship.

>>11636709
Please, there were the same people that said you could sink on orange.

Believing Kancolle devs, not even once.

>>11636709
What did the bosses say?

>>11636703
Don't think so, honestly I don't even know why they picked her for a visual update, god knows how much the others
need it more.

>>11636709
I can't wait for the anime to show all of the Akatsuki's being mercilessly slaughtered and and ship PTSD.

>>11636702
Some common DDs are kinda rare because of their few spawn points where people don't stay long.

>>11636722
Wait forever.

>>11636683
... so is it merely a cosmetic update or are we getting a second remodel?

>>11636729
I got a bunch of Shiratsuyu while doing my sparkle runs for the event. Sunk one while doing some testing, even.

>>11636729
I was going to say, I have terrible luck and it really shows in KanColle. I'd have raised an eyebrow if I somehow managed to get a rare.

>>11636727
I'm not even sure if Shiratsuyu deserves a 2nd remodel. It's probably just a slight design update and additional idle / time check lines.

>>11636716
E5's boss really doesn't want to sink again.

And you sink her.

>>11636748
whatever

I went back a day later and she was still alive and well

1-1 is a best place to hunt.
Those who usually do sparkle runs should have collected all rare-common DDs.

Check this drop table.
http://wikiwiki.jp/kancolle/?%B4%CF%CC%BC%A5%C9%A5%ED%A5%C3%A5%D7%B5%D5%B0%FA%A4%AD

No.067 Oboro and her sisters are great examples to miss.

>>11636729
Nameships feel a bit rarer than their sisters, at least for DDs.

Should Battleships and Heavy Cruiser based teams use double line or abreast?

>>11636766
Echelon formation.

Can't believe I got a Yubari from a 30x all recipe.

>>11636778
That's the most common recipe for YUBR.

>>11636773
Thanks, worked swimmingly for 3 nodes until my carrier decided to get crit to orange

It's Haruna's turn, right?

>>11636758
Shiratsuyu is really rare though.
I did 1-1 sparkled for all my E4 and E5 runs and have been sparkling my expedition fleet for ex9 and 13 when I sleep. She never drop for me at all.
I probably need to do 1-2 and 1-3 seriously if she gets kai2.

>>11636800
Stop being a pussy, you won't sink in orange.

>>11636852
I didn't stop. With her repair time, I'd rather stick it out

>>11636846
Why didn't they make her a silver drop at least I will never know.

>>11636846
She's not rare at all, you just have horrid luck. I've picked up too many to count over the past week, along with possibly every DD drop in 1-1, when sparkling for E5 and expeditions.

If Yuudachi Kai 2 looks like a vampire,
and Shigure Kai 2 looks like a dog,
then what will Shiratsuyu Kai 2 look like?

>>11636891
sixty niggers

>>11636891
Haruhi. She will get a captain armband.

>>11636891

A fox.

Speak of the devil. 3rd sparkle run.

When does the maintenance ends?

>>11636931
In two hours.

Should I be using Chiyoda or Zuihou? Chiyoda looks like she has better stats but Zuihou is so damn cute.

Who here would be hunting for this slut after the maintenance?

>>11636941
It's three now.

>>11636953

Who do you want more, a drunk or a young girl you grope when you get back from a sortie?

>>11636959
Oh well.

>>11636961
Can I have a drunk young girl that I grope?

>>11636958
Please don't be rude, Anonymous. You haven't even met the girl yet.

>>11636953
One has a huge rack, the other look like a boy.
What do you think?

>>11636958
Count me in, dat ponytail.

>>11636967
Depends, do you have a Верный?

>>11636970
>the other look like a boy.

That boy's got a pretty girly moan.

>>11636976
I do indeed have a Верный.

>>11636953
Choose the best remodel.

>>11636917
She sure does look like a loli Haruhi.

Which Hiryuu do you prefer?

>>11637002
More like Yui cosplaying Haruhi.

Good for her.

>>11636999
Too busty, did not remodel.

(続く)

FUCK THIS TEASE, JUST TELL ME WHO IT IS.

>>11637008
Alternative Yahagi.

>>11637028
Kirishima. I'll throw 10000JPY at the game if I'm wrong.

>>11637028
I know who it is but I don't feel like telling you guys.

>>11637028
Hiei? She does look like to refer herself as the imouto.

>S勝利ではドロップ率が2倍に設定されています

I don't get it. Double drop at S rank or only drops at perfect S?

>>11637053
The drop rate of it is doubled if you S rank it.

>>11637053
S-victory gets double drop rate, minimum required is A.

Have fun at E-5 guys, is it in yet or until 5JST?

So Suzuya and Kumano can now drop at E 1-3 as well? Did they have a chance to drop already at E5?
>>11637053
The former.

>>11636891
Nothing.

>>11637028
Sure hope it's Haruna... if only for my own convenience.

>>11637055
A-rank means subs are out. S-rank means you gotta bring out the support fleets. (Assuming they're about E-5) Sigh, back to 800 ammo a run.

Wassup niggas.

>>11636891
>>11637060
>改二への更新ではありません。

Yep. Looks like the dream is over.

>>11637065
Fuck yes.

>>11637065
pls go

>>11637074

I like it.

>>11637074
>>11637075
YES
Anyone but Kirishima

>>11637074
>>11637075
Why do all the BB Kai 2's look substantially worse than their original forms?

>>11637074
>>11637075
That's pretty fucking ugly.
Dyke/10

>>11637074
The ears work with her new hairstyle. 10/10 will remodel

Eh, new hairstyle. It's okay.

>>11637074
>>11637075
Level required? 75 again?

>>11637075
100% more boyish. Not bad. Still, I prefer the old style once again.
What's her stock equip like ?

>>11637078
Wow, guy. Seek help. You're letting the existence of a ship girl bother you a bit too much.

>>11637074
>>11637075
This means that Haruna will be the main character next time right?

Right?

>>11637074
>>11637075
Nice. So she lost her hairband? I like how she differs more than her original sprites compared to Kongou's.

>>11637082
Her ears look fucking huge.

>>11637074
She's even doing that pose.

Hiei is actually cute now.

>>11637083
Did someone say Hiei Time?

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

>>11637092

I think it's time.

They're making all the Kongous ugly.

Run for it Haruna!

>>11637093
Comes with sanshiki

>>11637103
Damage sprite?

>>11637103

Kind of nice for those that surprisingly still don't have it.

Another BB I don't use gets an upgrade. Hoo fucking ray!

>>11637091
I actually like her how her huge dopey ears are serverly disproportioned to the rest of her body.

She looks a lot younger and tomboy-ish now.

Bollocks, just has to be the one I leveled the least.

Are the new furnitures out yet?

>>11637115
That's next week.

shiratsuyu

I almost couldn't notice Hiei without her wink.

>>11637119
What are you doing here Houki?

>>11637119

Well, I guess I really am going to do E-5 now.

>>11637119
Yes, combine my fetishes...

>>11637092
>>11637100
Man, if there is one thing I miss about old Hiei, it is the the middle finger pose.
I like her new boyish charm, will definitely remodel.

>>11637117
u w0t m8?

Imagine if the kai ni and kai sprites of the Kongous were reversed.

...And now everyone in practice is switching to Hiei. Level 55 like mine.

>>11637118
Wow, that's great. Would use her more. Too bad no stats increase.

>>11637119
So who is it?

>>11637118
>lvl41
Nice try dude. You are not fooling anyone.

>>11637134
It's not an upgrade you bafoon, it's just new art and sounds.

This looks nice.

>>11637134
It's not a remodel, just new artwork.

>>11637140
Bought it. Quite disappointed with the table furnitures 'tho, was hoping for something other than a mahjong table.

>>11637142

Loving the pose.

>>11637142
Better than Kongo's.

>>11637140
Somewhat.

I assume it's safe to hit E5 now?

I can't believe I opened this thread after my Hiei sunk.

>>11637150
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bravo_Zulu

Interesting.

>>11637150
Anyone got a room picture with the mahjong table?

>>11637129
>not a Christmas tree
ehh.

>>11637150
Did you buy the new window as well? That room looks really comfy now.

>>11637155
Z flag is important to the Japs. It's Togo's signal used during the battle of Tsushima.

The Empire's fate depends on the result of this battle, let every man do his utmost duty.

FUCKING RNG, how do they work?

Used around 20k fuel and ammo.
~180 buckets

>>11637157
No I didn't. Decided to save furniture fairy for something more to my liking.

Is maintenance over? I still can't login.

>>11637119
I might try to force my way into E5 through unsavory means for that. Her expression is great.

>>11637171
You were banned for F5 cheating.

>>11637171
You wa banned

>>11637171
Rest in peace.

Hahaha, Hiei's idle line is cute.

What level for Hiei kai2?
75 again? Time to grind her at E5.

The new window looks nice.

>>11637193
Definitely buying

>>11637193
It does but I don't think any of the wallpapers we have would fit with its style..

Holy crap there was an update I didn't notice it at all...

>>11637201
The black one with the moon?

>>11637118
She looks like Yui Hirasawa.

>>11637119
Wait what?

>>11637250
Yahagi Kai?

>>11637265
Those Japanese already got her? Jesus.

>>11637119
>During the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea on 24 October 1944, the fleet endures 11 raids by over 250 Task Force 38 carrier aircraft from the USS Enterprise, USS Essex, USS Intrepid, USS Franklin, USS Lexington and USS Cabot. Although Japanese battleship Musashi was sunk and Yamato and Nagato were hit, Yahagi was unscathed.
I expected her to have more luck with a holo bg.

So the new girl is E5 boss only, right? Or can she be obtained en-route just with a lower chance?

>>11637291
She's a holo rarity, what do you think?

>>11637297
I think Kadokawa is full of sadists.

What's that support expedition that people are using and it's showing great effect, 4bb2cv?

>>11637312
Yes. Try Musashi, Nagato, Mutsu, final upgrade Kongou and any two CV's, it works wonders!

>>11637315
Do I need to load the CV with pure red planes?

Man what the fuck

I'm having so much difficulty A Ranking E-5 now

Did they stealth change Kinugasa's 2nd remodel to something lower than 60? Or am I a retard for thinking it was 60 all along?

>>11637323
You're a retard for not reading the wiki and checking her remodel level that's for sure.

>>11637319
You can't even do a successful support expedition with that kind of fleet.

So how many people do you predict will get the new girl? rarer than Musashi?

>>11637332
5 S rank runs in now, still nothing.

>>11637332
A lot of people have gotten her on Futaba, a handful of them even found her on their first try. They're claiming that you can get her even with A rank victory.

>>11637332
I wouldnt be surprised if her drop rate is lower than Nagato.

The nightmares are returning.

Just do sub-runs with support expedition, more often than not do you get A-ranks.

>>11637355
Don't the nodes before the boss have DD's that are equipped with full anti sub weaponry?

>>11637361
If you make it past the first two nodes, nothing else can touch you.

>>11637355
CV or BB support?

>>11637374
Probably the more reliable 2bb2dd2cv. I never tried any other ones since I have no idea what their damage potential is like.

Why is getting an S rank so hard

>>11637384
Why is getting to the boss suddenly so hard. I had no problems what so ever when actually doing E5

Fuck this bullshit. All that ammo and fuel for 2 S ranks and a bunch of As. They're just CLs anyway, I'll just wait till they become craftable like Suzuya and Kumano.

>>11637385
If you're getting send NE regularly, try taking a high luck flagship like Shigure.

Unless you're bringing along three radars, middle route is best route.

>>11637390
I don't see what you can put in those spare BB and CA slots anyway. More placebo turbines?

>>11637391
Pussies put damage control on their BB.

>>11637391
He's the pussy admiral that puts repair crews on his ships.

At least I got a Naganami from my first S rank, A's drops are mediocre.

>>11637391
Repair crews if you're a pussy, AA guns if you want more stats

Do you sparkle your ships for E-5? I'm getting critted a lot.

>>11637401
Yeah

>>11637392
>>11637393

What are your loadouts anyway? You've got 2 Kongou-classes and possibly a CA, like Maya if you want that AA. 2 main guns and then what?

>>11637401
I never bothered, my ships performed well enough without sparkles.

>>11637407
Faggot.

Is her voice less annoying than Agano?

>>11637407
FUCK YOU.

>>11637407

>>11637414
What's the difference between using sanshiki and a DP gun

>>11637390
How so? Is it easier than E-4s hell route of fucking flagship heavy cruisers all day every day?

Perfect run? enjoy your NE faggot.

>>11637433
It's about the same difficulty as the top route since one of the battles is a joke with 5 clouds. And you don't have to deal with >>11637436

>>11637437
I dont have 6slow BBs

Do you run it with 6DD? How do you deal with the air raid?

>>11637438
Middle route's just same speed with less than two battleships. So just replace one of your Kongou classes with a high speed.

Oh yeah, sure, listen to /jp/, ships don't sink in orange, everything will be fine!

Was bored at work and typesetted this.
Enjoy some Yukikaze and Femtoku.

>>11637447
inb4 you actually have damecon on her

>>11637447
RIP. how much hp did she have?

>>11637454
I don't, now there's a hole in my fleet and I don't have 6 ships to run E5 with.

>>11637457
Time for sub runs with a support fleet.

>>11637447
But they don't.

>Suzuya
Fuck yes, time for E3 again if I manage to get this new girl.

>>11637447
How sure are you it wasn't actually red?

>>11637463
Last one are server upgrades.

>>11637463
>but apparently Suzuya and Kumano can now drop from E1 to E3.

You mean they couldn't before? Fucking fuck I've been wasting my time farming the wrong places.

>>11637464
I'm sure. Even if it was really low, it was still within orange.

>>11637471
Did you sortie while fatigued?

What was the rumored safe percentage, 30%?

>>11637477
I thought it was 33%.

>>11637477
Rumored is 33% but it might be 25%. I had a 12/43 (~28%) Kitakami who got hit by the E-5 boss but was left with 1 HP.

>>11637436
It's ironic that I hope for an enemy to hit one of my ships into yellow/orange just because of this.

>>11637494
It's even more ironic my best runs are those with 2 or 3 in moderate damage. Compared to when I have a full fleet of healthy ships.

>>11637500
>>11637494
Pretty sure the compasses for E4 and E5 are rigged to do that. Every time I have a perfect run in E4/5 the compass sends me to the not-boss node.

PvP got fucked up or something. My ships kept attacking the one that had 1HP. Went into night battle and Nagato somehow missed the 1HP ship with a cut-in and finished the battle.

>>11637521
that ship still have 1 hp left before you went in night battle.
