Please don't post images of the cute and perfect Tenryuu-chan crossing over with awful anime.

>>11678207
Found this somewhere on the interwebz. It's kinda risky to use it as OP image, though.

>>11678215

>>11678215
Source?!?!??!?!!1!

>>11678215
If it isn't too much to ask, please remake the thread.
I can't take it easy like this.

>>11678220
Threads can't be deleted. You'll just have to suck it up.

>>11678215
No it's not, it's SFW

>>11678223
OP here. Just a random post from one of my friends in the interwebz who does some decent shops...

inb4 OP has friends.

Everyone excited for the next comiket? Think of all the porn.

>>11678240
I want my SFW doujins.

>>11678246
What about?
Everything that can be done has already been done on pixiv.

>>11678250
A ton of the shit that "has been done" on Pixiv is only previews.

>>11678250
>Everything that can be done has already been done on pixiv
I don't think so, look at touhou.

>>11678240
I can't wait, Admirals.

>>11678229
Please refrain from ever making a thread or even posting again, thanks.

>>11678229
>interwebz

This post reeks cancer. I bet you came from the English Wiki.

Please refrain from posting again here normal cis scum.

Ninety percent of completely retarded posts are made by people exclusively out to stir up shit.

>>11678290
93% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

>>11678290
>>11678292
100% of this thread is shit, someone make a new one and let this thing die

>>11678301
Do you really expect people not to shit up the next one?

I'm so close to Yuudachi kai 2, I am prepared for the poi.

>>11678303
It will have a good OP image instead of some shitty crossover and the shitposting will disappear when the janitor shows up and starts deleting everything so I dont see the problem

>>11678310
To most people it's just a parody of a show they're not watching. I don't see why you would care.

>>11678312
/jp/ hates anime that isn't Milky Holmes.
/jp/ especially hates KlK and asukaspammer.

This is truly saddening, the fact that we are being raided by /a/ crossboarder faggots since there was a thread of Kancolle there and English Wiki/Facebook normal cancers.

Of course the OP of this thread as well.

Seriously people, how hard is it to not talk about cancer and just ignore them?

>>11678347
It hasn't even begun. Why didn't you listen.

>>11678356
What is KTKM doing to ZKMS?

>>11678356
>what's name of this anime?

The rage of a thousand blinding white hot suns.

>>11678356
Peter Payne's been doing that for years with Touhou and the threads haven't gotten THAT much shittier.

>>11678356
>It hasn't even begun.

But its getting there.

>>11678377
slowpoke.jpg

>>11678373
Wow, fb linking to /jp/

Well, that's it fellow teitoku, it was nice knowing you

>>11678377
Look at the date, thats october 10

>>11678366
It's because people who follow his posts most likely know what Touhou is. He was just capitalizing on interest.
However, with Kancolle, he's literally bringing people who don't know what it is into the fandom to try and generate sales.

>>11678373
It has no comments or likes and the person who posted it doesn't even have a profile picture (maybe because it isn't a real account). I have a hard time believing anybody gave a shit.

>>11678366
That's because /jp/ is literally the only American-speaking place to talk about kancolle.
And no one on /jp/ is motivated enough to make a site that might divert all of the newfags.

You guys haven't seen worse. They also made a Kancolle group and even linking it up in the wiki.

>>11678395
is the wiki not enough?

>>11678395
>That's because /jp/ is literally the only American-speaking place to talk about kancolle.
There's also /a/ and Tumblr and now even (apparently) a Facebook group.

>>11678402
Who uses a wiki to talk to others?
I'm thinking a more traditional forum like shrinemaiden or something.
Of course the problem there is getting people to start going there instead of /jp/.

>>11678407
And reddit too.

>>11678410
Ask wakachan to open a new board or something like that.

The question is: who gives a shit? let's talk about the fucking game instead.

>>11678438
It's really ironic when people who complains about facebook being shit post pictures of facebook.

>>11678441
/jp/ - irony and meta

>>11678438
Posting about characters is infinitely more interesting than posting about the game unless you've actually found something new, which nobody here ever does.

>>11678459
Can we rape those faeries? Because the one with witch hat looks nice.

>>11678467
I don't think it'll fit.

>>11678467
You'll get fucked over by them instead

So, is this because of double line? The fucker is the weakest of the bunch, doesn't even have ASW equipment and we had parallel combat.

>>11678200
>>11678215
>>11678229

Thanks for your help in shitting up /jp/.
Do that again pls

Is this actually fun? Or just addictive?

>>11678620
Addictive because the girls are adorable. I have a hard time classifying anything in this game except collecting ship daughters as fun since it's all RNG bullshit.

But my girls are worth it.

>>11678620
Gambling is fun and the whole game is pretty much based on gambling. So yes, it's fun.

>>11678620
It's kinda like Pokemon online where the shipgirls are the pokemon.
It's fun in one way but tiresome in another.

>>11678620
Think of it as Pokemon but every attack is like they're on confusion and when their hp is 0 they don't faint. They sink and they're gone forever and you have to find a new one if you accidentally sink any of them.

>>11678660
That whole confusion part bothers me. Whats the point of admirals if they're going to fuck about shooting at whatever they please. At least give us an ability to designate priority targets, so they have a higher chance to be randomly targeted.

>>11678668
Shit, the admiral doesnt even decide where the fleets go. The sadistic compass fairies do that job. We're nothing more than glorified military base administrators.

>>11678670
But that's the story of a lot of IJN battles.

>>11678668
Composition, equipment, fleet movement and formation. Well, it's not like you're on the bridge of every ship at once, but it still is annoying. The worst is when when you have LCs and DDs who would wreck face in night combat... if it weren't for that one submarine.

>>11678674
Now it all makes sense, you're absolutely right. Even right down to the DD suicide rushing events.

>>11678670
We're here to raise morale and waste resources. Apparently these fairies are our tacticians.

The wiki is being slow as shit.

>>11678682
That fight is definitely interesting in the setup. It actually shows that there's more to the game than just RNG.

>>11678690
it's a DDoS attack to keep all the normals away!

So do furniture boxes exceed 99?
Thinking of opening them for Christmas

>>11678710
It's probably just like buckets, shows 99 but you can have countless, although it's a big gamble to take.

>>11678710
It's probably just the item page capping at 99 like buckets and development tools and stuff. If it doesn't work though, you still have shittons of furniture boxes so who cares.

>>11678539
nah,its just bad luck

Is it even possible to have both endless resources and also a good teitoku rank? trying to get to marshall but it's all steadily dropping.

This fucker on 3-2.
I hate him (her?) so much

>>11678815

I fucking hate her/him

>>11678681
It's depressing, really. This game is an accurate representation of the Imperial high command during WW2 when it comes to decision making by field commanders.

The HQ might as well as to rely on some trolling RNG when it comes to overall tactics.

Pretty sure the IJN just rolled dices for every decision during the war.

>>11678836
They did. It was one massive gamble after another. They got holo craft out of Pearl Harbor as a good roll for example.

>>11678834
If it's bad for you, imagine how bad it must be for the deep sea fleet. When they mass carriers your fleet bristles with AA weapons, when they have surface fleets you bring all cannons, and when you're set upon by wolf packs you mysteriously have all your ASW ready to go.

Almost as if their naval codes had been cracked and their entire order of battle posted for everyone to see.

>>11678836
They failed in the Recon phase during Midway :/

>>11678836
>>11678840
>>11678846
Filthy nips just didn't have shit on the world's greatest Navy, its no wonder they got completely destroyed while running back to their shitty country.

>>11678849
Why, that sounds like what happened to IJN and the kriegsmarine when the enigma was cracked...

>>11678858
It wasn't the world's greatest navy on Dec. 8 1941, but we managed to conjure one out of thin air because we had resource hacks on.

>>11678864
Greatest navy status came by Midway. That was a victory for the ages. It's the American Trafalgar in a way.

I still think the fact enemy CVLs can't hit your SS definitely makes all the flagship bullshit Ru and Wo being able to shoot planes at night a decent tradeoff

>>11678882
differences in ASW doctrine, that is all.

>>11678882
considering how great CVL work against subs that doesn't seem to be a disadvantage

>>11678849
What I really worry about is how they avoid becoming natural reefs. Regular old ships end up as coral heavens a couple decades after they sink, so these WWII-era war princesses should be encrusted from head to toe with sponges and suffer equipment failures because some damn moray got into their main cannon again.

>>11678878
It was coming for a long while, though. Even if USA lost Midway, it would still have more carriers and more carrier-bound aircraft in Pacific within a single year. You'd need 4-5 Japans to match their production capacity.

>>11678878
>Four Japanese aircraft carriers—Akagi, Kaga, Soryu and Hiryu, all part of the six-carrier force that had attacked Pearl Harbor six months earlier—and a heavy cruiser were sunk at a cost of one American aircraft carrier and a destroyer.


Glorious.

>>11678882
>>11678886
let's not forget that IJN simply couldn't recover planes at night. It's not exactly cakewalk to land on a carrier in the first place...

>>11678891
mind you, US lost 1 more Yorktown class... leaving Big E all by herself.

This is jp, get the fuck out, murrikkan patriots.

>>11678878
Midway was an intelligence coup above all. If the planes had gone up earlier and the Carrier Strike Force hadn't been sent way ahead in the interests of surprise it could have turned out differently.

A huge factor in Japan's getting crushed all over the ocean was better tacticians and intelligence from the American side.

>>11678895
Anon in Japan bash their wartime high command even harder. They do shower praises for field commanders and shit of course.

>>11678894
It was more that I didn't realize the nips lost carriers that participated in their gooky attack at pearl harbour.

>>11678899
you think they'd throw those ships away after using them once?

>>11678904
I don't know, Pearl Harbor was kind of a high point for these carriers. Better quit while you're ahead.

>>11678899
I don't know how you interpreted it like that, I meant that they lost them there only six months later.

>>11678910
>>11678899
Those carriers kept racking up kills around the Indian ocean. Akagi for one sank 2 British CAs and stuff. You can say that the IJN got complacent.

>>11678916
> complacent
Pretty much. According to Shattered Swords, the war games for planning MI found many faults with the plans, but Yamamoto didn't change a single thing.

Not to mention the IJN not even trying to bring Zuikaku to Midway, when she had over 50 aircraft counting Shoukaku's, which might have given them just enough aircraft to not suffer losing all fleet carriers present at Midway. Let's also not forget how the green Gokousen was sent for Port Moresby when they knew that the USN CVs were lurking around.

The list of faults goes on.

Question. Should I just give up on crafting Nagato if I've gotten Mutsu as a drop? Nagato is the only craftable BB that I am missing now...

>>11678947
It's nice to have 2 Nagato-class for clearing maps, but she's not necessary.

>>11678947
If you don't have the CAvs, then 400/30/600/30 isn't so bad a recipe. But if you only have Nagato left from the BB recipe, it's best not to bother.

If I have an overage of midget sub, is it worth to put them on subs for the additional +2 torp power?

>>11679041
Probably yes.

>>11679041

I think turbines and cut-ins are better than midget subs.

Holy shit, Makigumo's damaged sprite is hot.

>>11679049
Imuya doesn't really have much luck in the way of cut-in btw. 2 minisubs is just fine.

I just completed 5-1 the first time I entered the map.
Is that an achievement?
If it is so easy, should I come back to farm for Aki/Yuugumo or maybe Shoukaku here?

So... is there actually a point to running non-Kongou battleships? I mean yes personal preference, I love me some fusou/yamashiro, but it just seems like the Kongous win out on pretty much everything (Fast speed for minor eva bonus in fast fleets, faster/cheaper repairs, lower supply costs, same weapons) in return for losing... AP ammo (use the slot for something else goddamn). Their max stats are so close to even Nagato/Mutsu class that it seems like a waste to deal with slow BBs when you can just throw a shrine maiden or four at the abyss fleet instead.

I mean, yeah Nagato class has better base stats for the most part, but Kongou class superior evasion and nearly-as-good caps pretty much removes that advantage as soon as you realize there's this thing called modernization.

(will give Yamato/Musashi a bye, despite their insane costs, due to huge firepower being potentially worthwhile for certain difficult maps)

>>11679107
You can't hear Yamashiro's MVP line if you don't put her in your fleet.

>>11679107
I used to think like you until I got to 5-2.
Having a Nagato class really make a huge difference in making you getting a S rank consistently. With the type91 ammo, Nagato class regularly one shot the ta class BB. Stats dont mean much but equipment does.

>>11679107
They are old hags, and they can't even equip Type 91 shells. Hyuuga and Ise have better evasion stat until the cap. Hyuuga and Ise had as many main guns (8) as the Kongou-class even after their aviation reconstruction, in history.

>>11679107
type 91 makes a huge difference, my Nagato has one shot Le and Ta class flagships even she is in the orange.

>>11679198
I am wondering if Kongou Kai 2 and Hiei Kai 2 are good enough to phase out the Fusos. Sure, you can't put AP shell on'em, but they have pretty decent stats.

>>11679203
Fusos are garbage. Ugly and has terrible stats. If you want aviation BB, stick with Ise.

>>11679107
I like running one Kongou and one Nagato class or two and two if I'm going with a 4 BB set up

I feel like Yamato/Musashi firepower stats hardly make a difference. They feel the same as any BB except more tanky

>>11679107
>Fast speed for minor eva bonus in fast fleets
There is no evasion boost but there is a negligible decrease in mixed fleets, although this might change in the future.

> faster/cheaper repairs
For the former, buckets. For the latter, this only holds true for 1st remodels. Kai-2 Kongo-class ships are the most expensive bar Yamato-class.

>lower supply
Not universally. They're the most fuel-efficient until Kai-2. For ammo, BBVs are always cheaper.

>max stats are so close to even Nagato/Mutsu class
Looking at the magnitude of the differences between Kongo and Nagato-classes, we could use the same reasoning to say that other low-speed BBs are comparable to Kongo-class. Evasion included.

>shrine maiden
I don't know about Nagato, but the other BBs look like shrine maidens to me.

本日も寒いですね…寒さや蓄積疲労を戦いつつ、頑張っていきましょう！寒いといえば、新設サーバ群もだいぶ北方エリアのものになりました。そんな北方戦線を支えた第５艦隊、その5,500t級のあの艦が、北方迷彩を身に着けつてウォーミングアップに入っている模様…お楽しみに！
#艦これ

>5,500t級

CL class confirmed to be focus on next Christmas event.

>>11679218
goddammit, I will never get my 401.
5.5kt means it's not gonna be Sakawa, but I hope I'll have another chance at Yahagi.

>>11679218
>>11679223
I don't know which ship would have that kind of tonnage. I-400 class has displacement of 6560 tonnes,

>>11679244
Either Sendai-class or Nagara-class. Possibly also Kuma-class.

>>11679249
But all of them have been introduced already. I can't imagine any of them getting a kai 2 treatment..

maybe Kiso? She did survive Leyte.

>>11679255
> Kiso
Is it finally her time for 40 barrels of torpedoes?
As if... Probably a kai1 sprite update if it's her ;_;

>>11679249
Since it mentions northern "area", it's probably referring to Operation AL, and only Kuma-class CLs participated in that if I'm not mistaken.

>>11679218
It's cold today...Don't let the cold and weariness get to you and keep on fighting! Speaking of cold, the new servers are in the Northern area [in the Kuril islands]. From the 5th Fleet which defended the northern front, it seems a certain 5,500t class ship is warming up her northern camouflage. Look forward to it!

5,500t gives me Sendai-, Kuma-, and Nagara-class, while 5th fleet gives me Kuma- and Nagara-class ships. The only ships involved with the 5th fleet which also mention camouflage are Kiso and Tama.

>>11679328
I hope it's Kiso she's at least level 25. While Tama is the first ship I sunk.

>>11679328
Please be Tama.

>>11679328
This is where Kiso grows a beard and Tama becomes a cat-girl.

>>11679328
>>11679218
I guess I should really get to leveling my CLs, the only leveled CL I have is Kuma at level 50~

>>11679340
>no Isuzu
Come on dude, she's great. Except for those massive unneeded breasts.

>>11679364
I like Isuzu but not enough to use her in my main fleet, planning on leveling Abukuma, Noshiro and Kuma to cover all my CL needs

How long did it take for you to get through each world?

>>11679387
So far 3-2 is the first I'm stuck and mostly due to having to level my DDs for that.

>>11679387
No idea.
Started on october, probably around 2weeks to beat 2-4 and then another week to beat 3-2. After that I just stockpile resources to beat the event.
After the even, I cleared everything up to 5-2. Havent attempt 5-3 yet because the drop list doesnt have anything I want.

>>11679401
I started in October, and I am now doing 3-4 and 4-4. What did it take to get through 3-4 for you?

>>11679406
I used 3BB 3CV

>>11679408
I just cleared it after your post. I keep getting redirected to E and not NE on point H, and I was starting to wonder if subs can't make it to the boss.

It's official: Japs consider KanColle to be less P2W compared to other games.

>>11679481
It was never doubted that Kan Colle was easy on the wallet.

>>11679481

I think KanColle isn't P2W, as the game works on pure lack in almost everything

>>11679485

*luck

>>11679481
I'd agree. The only thing you have to pay for is the shop items and even that's optional. Unlike other mobage where you have to pay out the ass for a low chance of getting a gatcha card you want or having to pay ridiculous amounts to try and win limited event ranking cards. Of course there's still a lot of waiting to try and encourage you to buy shop items, but it's not that difficult to save up supplies as well.

>>11679481
Why is Cinderella Girls so horrible?

>>11679493
Scamco at work

>>11679493
Too many shitty idols and pay to win.

I'm trying to craft a Yukikaze and I swear to god Ashigara is the new naka-chan.

>>11679387
world 1: few days
world 2: about 1.5 weeks, but half of that was just farming 2-2 trying to get Kongou class ships, then I got stuck on 2-4 for 3 days
world 3: depends on when I get tired of 3-2-A

KanColle is for queers and trendy hipsters

>>11679553
You can't be a hipster when it's already popular.

To make thing even worst, English wiki added a blog viewer in the front page.

http://www.reddit.com/r/kancolle/

Come home

>>11679560
wikia is lost cause.
Just make a new kancollewiki or just stick with wikiwiki.

>>11679564
Experienced players will look up first at atwiki or wikiwiki, wikia is only place for newbies.

If there are any oldies around, you probably remember WUIG. A Kancolle version of that should work beautifully. Someone please take a shot at it. I'd do it, but I have no creative writing skills or the drive to write updates.

>>11679481
Where is Love Live in this?

>>11679589
Does it have a game like this?

>>11679481
I wonder where VC and MA stand in this chart.

>>11679599
It's a rhythm game, but the games up there don't exactly all follow the same pattern.
Bahamut is easily the most bullshit game up there, but sadly also has the best art.

>>11679599
http://decaf.kouhi.me/lovelive/index.php?title=Main_Page#External_Links

Since it's a rhythm game, less bullshit to rage about but getting good idols is almost as bad as Cinderella girls.

So does anyone like Hyuuga?

>>11679639

I like Ise more, but I do like Hyuuga.

>>11679328
I knew raising Kiso was worth it.

I hope she gets the upgrade, and possibly new lines/time announcement with it. She's already plenty useful without a second remodel, 96 ASW with basic equipment is more than enough to drop the odd submarine in PvP.

>>11679387
I only remember world 2-4. It took about a month because I was crafting and being lazy.

Still stuck in 3-2 because of the same reason.

>>11679639
I like her and Ise quite a bit.

>>11679639
Is it finally the age of the Aviation Battleship?

No. No it's not.

>>11679641
>>11679653
I like Ise but I haven't been able to find a Hyuuga yet.
>>11679656
The age of all battleships is more or less over.

>>11679656
When will Seiran be craftable? Can't wait for my fleet of BBV and CAV taking out bauxite as much as my CVs.

>>11679662
Aren't they for I-400 above?
Maybe we'll get them on the Christmas event due to that collaboration with Ars Nova

>>11679672
it's already out as monthly ranking reward, but yeah, I can see it comes when they release I-400 during Kancolle x Arpeggio collab.

Hey, there is a free dual 14" turret

>>11679679
What did they do to you, Rensouhou-chan?

>>11679679

>>11679686
That damn pagoda mask makes me giggle like an idiot no matter how many times I look at it. This includes the silly hat version.

They should add how much exp a ship have on her info panel, it would be pretty handy.

>>11679686
the pagoda mast are ugly when viewed from the starboard side

Is Kancolle popularity due to plain luck or did they sign a contract with the devil?

http://edition.cnn.com/2013/12/03/us/japanese-submarine-found/

The timing of these shit isnt just mere coincidence.

>>11679731
I thought of kancolle when I heard about that as well.

>>11679730
Holy shit thats like a level 3 BETA stab

>>11679731
I don't get how this is making news, or if all there are just that many Kancolle players within my internet contacts. She was scuttled, with her position known, and someone just raised her, right? Is there something more to this?

>>11679730
Do they look alright from the port side? This is important.

「…そんな北方戦線を支えた第５艦隊、その5,500t級のあの艦が、北方迷彩を身につけてウォーミングアップに入っている模様デース…」

Minor correction to the earlier statement. Who ends their sentences like that?

>>11679765
>デース
Kongou?

>>11679770
you called?

I've had four error cats since the Tawitawi server update yesterday, two of them in the middle of a sortie. This is some bullshit.

3-4 is a gigantic sadistic menace. I thought 2-4 and 4-3 were annoying but this is just tormenting yourself needlessly.

I noticed something strange. My Goya, at 30 fatigue, loses EVERYTHING after I sortie her. I won the two nodes with a B but she still loses those 30 points. She only got hit once for 1 damage.

>>11679814
The amount of fatigue relieved with S rank is tiny compared with the amount of fatigue relieved with MVP (which is around 30).

>>11679796
I feel you.
I believe 3-4 is most difficult map on this game by far.
Some lucky admiral may come and tell that he finished it on his first try tho.
Imagine you have to farm there for Hatsukaze if you didn't get her during the last event.

>>11679820
MVP is +10
not +30

>>11679820
MVP gives 10 points, S rank gives 1 and flagship 3 points. A loss causes a 3 point drop and night battle 2 points. I don't know how she loses 30 points in two fights.

>>11679827
did she actually have 0 points or just a red face? because red face shows at 19 and below.

>>11679830
Sanaechan shows 0 points.

>>11679826
It is only difficult because of compass trolling.
In term of beating the boss with S rank, I think 4-4 is much harder because of the troll sub.

>>11679832
>>11679830
Looking at it now, it seems a B ranking decreases your points by 1.

>>11679836
I didn't talk about S rank win.

Orange and red fatigued ship gets a penalty -3 fatigues with each battle

>>11679845
its -6

>>11679796
>>11679826
>>11679836
The level of trolling at 3-4 is comparable to E4 to me. I cleared the map by sub >>11679428

>>11679860
did you put damecons on your subs? what about turbines and what kind if you did equip them?

>>11679866
No. All torps. I sparkled my subs before making each sortie though.

What kancolle crossovers would you like to see after Arpeggio?
I want a Pazudora collaboration.

>>11679882
Anything that allows the Russo-Japanese War and WWI ships to get into the game.

Just imagine all the ara ara onee-sans.

>>11679882
strike witches and girls & panzer obviously
My carriers would be perfectly happy launching some strike witches during combat.

>>11679887
I really would like Misaka featured. Togo's flagship is a legend.

>>11679882
>>11679889
That would be nice.

>>11679889
The academy ships would put Yamato to shame in consumption though.

>>11679921
Yamato, Musashi and Shinano would act as academy ships

>>11679917

So would Yamato turn into an abyss during the last Episode of SW and with Miyafuji's power of friendship she turns back?

>>11679917
The size difference would make it unfeasible. I just dont see how they can put them on the same scale size wise.
Can you imagine Kaga launching Yoshika from her bow?

>>11679889
>american witches bullying Yamoto

Cant argue with that wallet?

>>11679912
And still afloat, which really is some feat given the age of that thing. She seems wildly popular too, there are even a couple dozen Mikasa designs on Pixiv. I won't be surprised if she ends up as an event boss of sorts.

Come to think about it, I'd be down for a Russian War-themed event. I'm more looking forward to the armored cruisers and protected cruisers, though.

>>11679928
sure I can. Kaga just has to turn into a big carrier for a while.

>>11679928
They can just all be fairy-sized, no problem.

>>11679933
>Yamoto

I mean Yamato holy shit

>>11679937
Wow, she's still parked at Yokosuka. Crazy.

Though I don't think she could be a full battleship since she's only the size of a WWII-era cruiser. 古戦, anyone?

>>11679938
>Yamoto
>Cant argue with that wallet?
I laughed harder than I should.

>>11679937
Mikasa is not just cousin... she's more like an aunt to Kongou. Kongou and Tiger are cousins though. Older cousins would be Indefatigable class and the Invincible class.

>>11678646
I thought gambling was more addictive than fun.

>>11679950
前弩級戦艦 (pre-dreadnought)　
Mikasa was launched in 1900. The pace of naval tech evolved very quickly during the turn of the century, as it's only by 1906 that Dreadnought was launched.

>>11679955
Why is she a gaijin?
She should give out a yamato nadeshiko vibe considering how old she is.

>>11679962
She is a Gaijin. She is launched by Vickers at Barrow-in-Furness. Japan didn't have what it takes to build her.

>>11679950
Well, all warships were a great deal smaller back then. The largest armored cruisers (predecessors to battlecruisers) would be lucky to displace half the amount Kongo-class did, while battleships were typically a third the size of WWII monstrosities.

>>11679955
>Indefatigable class and the Invincible class.
I always found these two amusing, since after the farce that was the pursuit of Goeben (a top contender for Wikipedia articles best accompanied with Yakety Sax) I can only see them as Saturday morning cartoon villains.

Goeben later had a rather depressing fate, though, despite all her luck at dodging the Entente all over the Atlantic: Breslau, the light cruiser that escorted Goeben for most of her WWI career and provided distractions whenever needed (once to delay Indefatigable and Indomitable and a couple of times against the Black Sea Fleet, including one time where they chanced upon some 5 battleships, 3 light cruisers and a dozen destroyers and lived to tell the tale), had to sacrifice herself for one last diversion after the pair entered a minefield, covering Goeben's retreat until the damaged battlecruiser could be towed to safety. Goeben was later returned to service, but her lucky little cruiser escort was gone for good.

>>11679962
>She should give out a yamato nadeshiko vibe
she's just an old hag

300/30/400/401, second attempt this morning, 6th in a row counting dailies yesterday. Which one did I get?

>>11679996
The one that you already have

>>11679996
Shoukaku
So I'll be jelly.

>>11679996
Zuikaku? A guy I know got her from that recipe. I tried that once and got a Souryuu. Got my Shoukaku from 330/330/630/630

>>11679996
How in the world do you not have both at level 98?

>>11680009
I am 98 and I dont have both

>>11679998
I have neither, so either one is fine with me.

>>11680001
Correct.

>>11680009
Started playing in late September, and I haven't been crafting carriers at all until after the last event. I've gotten all of the others via drop so I never had a reason to try for the rare ones until now. I was saving all my resources for the event and managed to get Musashi the weekend before it ended, so now I have a little room to goof around with some crafting.

I still just go for basic 30/30/30/30 sometimes for the dailies if I feel like I wasted too many resources during the day while grinding ships.

I also got a Zuiho with this recipe.

Screw it, I'm going to throw a carrier recipe on the burner too. Hope I get a good one. These rare destroyer recipes are just shitting out Ashigaras.

>>11680011
Level 98 as well and I got my Hiryuu from 2-3 boss yesterday while running subs for the daily quests.

>>11680014
which recipe?
i usually got 1-2 shimakaze while aiming for I-58 with 250/130/200/30.

>>11680017
I am just doing 2-3, 5-2 and BB craft now.
Just wondering who is going to drop first. As much as I love Kaga, I am kind of sick of getting her from 2-3 and 5-2.

>>11680020
I've been using 250/30/200/30
All I want from it is a Yukikaze.

>>11680009
>>11680013
Been playing since Oct 1. I still don't have the crane sisters yet. I don't have Nagato either.

Missing Yamato, Akigumo, Maikaze, Naganami, Yuugumo, Agano, Mikuma, Nagato, Zuihou, Zuikaku, Shoukaku.

>>11680017
I got my Hiryuu the same way. Only a few days ago.

>>11680009
Just entered my 4th month, no Nagato-class, no crane, and just got 2nd CAV (Kumano) a week ago.

>>11680022
Same here. got my Shimakaze from a drop, 3 subs from crafting.

>>11680022
Took me 48 attempts with that recipe to get Yukikaze.

>>11680022

All I want from that recipe is Abukuma and/or Yuubari.

But no, not even that.

>>11680033
It was like that for me when it comes to Goya. It took three weeks of 4x dailies to get her.

>>11680034
Yuubari is a common failure from aircraft recipe.
Try doing that instead.

>>11680025
I've gotten 5 or 6 Maikaze from grinding ships on 3-3-A.

>>11680033
I've been logging my craft attempts (and my node drops) so we'll see how many it takes me.
20 so far.

>>11680037
Yeah, she drops pretty well there

>>11680025
I am also kind of ashamed to admit that I haven't even done 4-4. Event made me forget about doing 3-4 and 4-4... (I did 3-4 today with subs)

Finally remodeled Kinugasa-Kai2. Damn, that's the best remodel so far in this game. Other artist, are you even trying?

>>11680043

I don't know man, Yuudachi is great and Hiei Kai 2 is pretty handsome.

But Kinugasa Kai 2 is great.

>>11680011
>>11680013
>>11680025
>>11680031
I guess I took rare carriers for granted.

>>11680025
Late September and I'm missing Nagato, Mutsu, Hatsukaze, Akigumo, Yuugumo, Mikuma, Agano, and Yahagi. Yamato is a given and my attempt at Musashi was cut short by kidney stones.

>>11680045
Shigure Kai2 made me feel sad for her. It's odd.

>>11680035
I kept going after the 48th attempt when I got Yukikaze specifically for Goya, however I got her as a drop after I had beaten E-5 and was farming it for Yahagi.

>>11680046
It takes way too much time to do E7 tbh. Some teitokus have tried hundreds of time for Yahagi, but only to come back empty handed.

>>11680051
were you able to get Yahagi? I am starting to wonder just how many people managed to get her. Maybe 30k?

>>11680046
Well, probably because I wasted all my luck to other ships. I got Kongou and Kaga when my T-level wasn't even 10. Also, I'm more focused on grinding and equipment crafting than ship crafting.

>>11680057
My most ridiculous luck in this game is getting all the kongou sisters in 1 crafting session of 8 tries by the third week. Don't remember my T-level at the time, but it wasn't in 40s.

Question. Is 5-2 easy enough to reliably farm? If it's only about as difficult as E3, than it would make more sense to do 5-2 as opposed to trying to craft rares...

>>11680065
it is easy but high bauxite consumption. about 400 each run

What should I do with a spare Abukuma?

>>11680073
Do you even need to field abukuma? it's so easy to kill subs nowadays...

>>11680055
Nope, I got Agano instead along with Suzuya and some others.

Guys, i got into this loading screen, but that progress bar is not filling up anymore, what should i do? Can I just reload it? Will I be able to connect after that?

>>11680079
You wait

>>11680079
wtf dude, just reload it, you don't get on anyone's watchlist if you reload only once. Just don't be a retard and spam it 10 times in 5 seconds

Is it even possible to still land on the boss node in 2-3 with 2 subs anymore to complete dailies?

I've been through that bloody map like 15 times today and I've never once hit the boss node

Ok, its filling up again. :)

>>11680087

I've been hitting the boss node consistently until I finally got the quest for it.

Now I just go North.

>>11680087
>>11680092
You will get to the boss node. It's just frustrating and dependent on the mood of the RNG.

>>11680087
It's just bad luck. Happened to me in different map. It's just unusual to get almost 90% of my sortie in 4-1 get SW-W-S route. Damnit, just give me those subs.

>>11680094
Sortie the nishimura or 6th fleet.
I got to the boss 2/2 with both of them.

What are you all doing with your 1 page worth of Imuya? I have 3 on expedition, but there's so many that I am out of minisub to put on'em...

>>11680092
Great, the one time I finally hit the boss node today, the game gives me 3 CLs to fight. Just to ultimately just bash my subs into orange at the last hit so I get a tactical defeat. Now I'm nowhere nearer to complete the quest.

>>11680095
I've had that happen to me yesterday like 6 times in a row. Today it's the 2-3 so I don't even need to bother killing subs yet.

>>11680098
Scrap.
She gives bauxite when you scrap her.

>>11680098
use them to sparkle your fleet until they're lvl10, then scrap them

Is there a chrome extension or something that can trick the flash game into thinking my timezone is correct? I don't really want to keep changing my time zone for this game.

>>11680136
The game doesn't care about your timezone.

>>11680136
why aren't you using the API
are there people who actually use the VPN and change timezone every time they want to play?

>>11680141
I should of scrolled down further.

But I don't think I've even done the lottery system thing yet. All the servers seem packed.

>>11680145
oh ok
you gotta use timezones for that yeah but you should get in after 1-2 tries and then never have to use timezones or vpn again

I hope I'm doing fine on my 4th doing this, and is it best to drop Akagi but just keep for the quest?

>>11680172
Sigh, everyone has a Kaga but me.

>>11680172
whats wrong with akagi?
i mean kaga and zuikaku are the best CVs but its not such a large stat gap. you can just use your favorites or use them all if you really want.

>>11680179

Don't complain.

Level 81 and I still don't have Kaga.

>>11680178
Just seeing that picture about crit magnet made me weary about using it.

>>11680179
level 36 and i dont have a kaga
i do have a zuikaku though which is almost as good

7 CV crafts later and I'm out of fuel. I didn't even get anything good, god damn.

>>11680182
Around the same level too so guess we're on the same boat

>>11680182
>>11680187
Dont you guys do world2 daily? She drops almost daily for me.

>>11680183
It's just a meme because everyone has an Akagi due to quest. She's the same as other CVs

>>11680190
Are you kidding me, I do world 2 daily and I still don't have her. I even go to world 4-2 like 5 times daily just hoping a Kaga will finally come to me

>>11680190

I mostly do that daily with my subs and never with my main fleet, so I don't S rank the boss too often.

>>11680194
>>11680195
There is no need to cheap out on fuel and ammo. Just do it with 4subs and S rank it. I think I also get Kaga off 4-1 while doing sub daily before.

>>11680202
>Just do it with 4subs and S rank it.

But that's how I do do my world 2 daily anon.

The rounding errors in this game are pretty funny.

Just went against a single sub (10 hp) in pvp. My first attack does 9 damage. Second attack misses and fight immediately ends. Apparently the miss was some fractional damage that was enough to push it over to dead.

>>11680183
Akagi is no worse than the others really, it's just that Akagi is often people's first experience with a superheavy ship (slow battleships and standard carriers have the highest repair costs and a huge repair time modifier), so she's kind of the "poster child" for them eating resources and taking forever to repair. Kaga is actually slightly MORE expensive/slow to repair, and all the standard carriers consume lots of resources/time for that stuff though akagi/kaga are by a small margin the worst of the lot when it comes to that, in return for their fantastic plane capacity/unusually high firepower for carriers.

>>11680206
I weep for your RNG luck.
I am also thinking about farming more torp sisters to get more quint torpedo. Imuya always choked and missed completely at the boss node.

>>11680202
>Just do it with 4subs
I have 2

>>11680202
Oh sweet, I just did 4-2 and got a Kaga from the boss suddenly.

After all this while, I now finally own a Kaga. I suddenly ain't even mad my Kongou got crit to red by the Flagship Ru and my Akagi somehow kept getting hit with scratch damage until she turned orange.

>>11680218
I felt that way when I got Mutsu from 3-3 boss.

>>11680222
I tried farming 3-3-A for Mutsu for like 100 runs. No Imuya, no Mutsu, but I got another Ooi to scrap. I went to 4-2 and I got 2 Imuya and Mutsu in 5 runs. Finally now after like 50 runs of 4-2 I got a Kaga after being teased with all the gold background from the Kongou sisters, I think 4-2 is my luckiest map by far.

>>11680046
Mid-August, missing pretty much everything besides Zuihou and Zuikaku. Get on my level.

Is 3-1 first node a good place to grind after 2-4?
At least it seems so.

>>11680309
After you clear 2-4 you want to clear 3-1 immidietly and then you can just go for 3-2.

Admirals, have you ever considered the total amount of resources you've lost when feeding ships w/o taking off their equipments?

>>11680342
A lot.

>>11680342
minuscule amounts since I take off the useful equipment. cannons from 20.3cm and up for the most part as everything else barely gives you shit

>>11680342
No, I always strip them off. It became my obsession since my resources dried up for the first time.

>>11680342
I do that all the time, that's probably why I'm 20k ammo and 30k steel ahead of my fuel.

I was crafting for planes with 21/60/20/131 with Akagi-Kai.HQ level 67.

I'm not having the best stroke of luck, do you guys have any other nice recipes for me to try out?

>>11680350
>>11680342

I take off 35.6cm's for scrapping.

>>11680366
I was using 30/60/10/130 yesterday with Akagi-Kai, got myself 2 S Holo planes, 2 Holo planes, 4 Rares and 1 Common.

Then again it's probably just my luck, because I got a 46cm first try in my daily crafts today.

>>11680366
50/60/30/120 with sub as a flagship.

>>11680342
Doesn't matter, I'm swimming in ammo, steel and bauxite anyway.

Best drop ever

>>11680419
I'd love to scrap those bitches

>>11680419
Makes enemies go to another node, avoiding battle completely

>>11680425
Better, bring her to red, then leave her forgotten in the depths of your ship storage.

>>11680419
Better level up them to 99 and have compass obey you.

>>11680405
What is your secret?
Do you not sortie to find more kanmusu? Think about your library and look at all your empty slot.

>>11680441
welp, still don't know how large his sea of resources is

>>11680419
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Easter_Eggs

Why would anyone purposely do this, damn it.

>>11680456
You don't have enough Naka-chan in your life.

>>11680456
罰ゲーム, obviously.

>>11680342
Probably a lot considering I didn't do so before.

>>11680022
I wanted to get a Kitakami, but no luck yet. I'd be happy about getting Naka-chan if I didn't have one already.

>>11680192
Is Akagi worth the pay early on?

Winter camouflage and a CL, so the one getting an update is Kuso?

>>11680471
As long as you're sensible about using her? Immensely so. The first strike capability she brings is fantastic. If you're going into battle against a Wo, though, bring a fighter on her, or you can lose more than a hundred bauxite in a single node if most/all of your torpedo bombers get shot down. 300+ easily with dual carriers. Check enemy fleet compositions on wiki, and if you're sortieing to a map/boss that's likely/guaranteed to have CV/CVLs, toss on a fighter.

So, I tried out the 400/200/500/400 recipe.
Got a Hibiki and Shiranui, back to 300/300/601/601 I guess.

>>11680510
Try this.

>>11680550
What do the notes say?

How legit are the user submitted recipes? I was going to try this one.

>>11680456
don't worry she's not alone anymore

>>11680604
Depends on luck, I've been using that recipe since forever and I never got a single sub out of it

>>11680607
Go away

>>11680604
250/x/200/30
Ammo doesnt do jackshit. However I did get 2goya out of 250/200/200/30. I attribute that to luck more than the recipe.

>>11680604
i use it for daily, several imuya but no goya in sight.

>>11680629
Some people are luckier than others, like this anon for example. I've been using that recipe for at least 2 weeks now for daily crafts and just regular crafts but no sub appeared from it. I did get 2 Yukikaze though

>>11680637
Funny because I got 3 subs but no rare DD's.

>>11680618
>http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Easter_Eggs
250/100/200/30 has netted me 3 goya's, 3 shimakaze's and 1 yukikaze. i don't know what you're smoking. No imuya's though.

>>11680419
>>11680454
This is great.

How do you unlock expedition 34? I thought both should be available right away, like in the event.
(I sent out 33 once but they didn't appear and I didn't make it to the boss.)

I guess having a holo background yukikaze screenshot is pretty cool but come on, drop something that I dont have already. This is like E7 nightmare all over again.

>>11680658
Where are you farming?

>>11680441
I do sortie regularly to find more kanmusus. I'm Nagato and Houshou away from completing my 001~100 collection though.

When you spam expedition 2 and 6, your ammo and bauxite worries are gone unless you use lots of CVs. I don't know where I'm getting all this steel from that keeps increasing, I don't even need to abuse the 3-2 steel node.

My fuel is like 15k behind my other resources, which sucks when I like to keep all of it balanced, spamming expedition 5 and 2-3 sub runs doesn't even help me replenish the fuel I'm spending on sorties for some reason.

>>11680661
5-2.
How do you guys survive the subs node?
I have to pray hard and hope that they dont send someone to red.

>>11680662
Your resource situation is very close to mine. Expedition 2 does give a decent amount of steel.

>>11680664
5th formation. Don't use saiun.

>>11680665
What the best expedition to spam for furniture coins? I tried doing the first one where it's listed but didn't pick up any.

>>11680668
6

>>11680665
I don't know, 60 per hour doesn't justify how it's exceeding even my bauxite resource gain when I spam exped 6 still hoping to get more furniture coins.

>>11680668
If you're doing expedition 4, don't. The item drop rate for expedition 4 is terrible. Expedition 6 usually drops more furniture boxes than expedition 4

>>11680672
>>11680670
That explains it. Guess I'll do 6 instead then, thanks.

>>11680672
>expedition 4 is terrible
Yeah, unless you sparkle and hope for a perfect expedition but that's too much of an effort.

>>11680678
Does sparkles even affect item drop rates?

I have a hard time keeping my fleet intact until I reach the boss in 2-4, there's so many combat nodes no matter which path I take. Should I just go for a line abreast formation and wait out each battle until Iget to the boss node?

>>11680682
It does. The wiki states it too
>150% resource gain and higher chance to get special item on expedition.
that's if you get the perfect expedition.

>>11680682
>>11680688
I am pretty sure it's impossible to get more than one item type at once if you don't sparkle for an expedition.

>>11680687
IIRC during my clearing, it was vertical at 1st and last, then horizontal for the rest.

Will 2-4 setup get me to the 3-1 boss node ?

>>11680687
Stack more carriers and torpedo bombers

>>11680694
It should. In fact I just used buckets on all 6 ships after clearing 2-4 and cleared 3-1 on my first try.

>>11680688
Oh, so it does. Is it even worth it to sparkle ships for expeditions less than 1 hour though? You have to be really free to constantly do that if you ask me.

>>11680691
Probably.

>>11680694
Yes, easily.

>>11680687
If you're running 4BB 2CV(equipped with full torp bombers) I'd say just go line ahead since you'd be dealing lots of damage anyway.

>>11680687
I went line abreast to ensure all my ships were within 5hp of full when I hit boss node, hit the 4bb setup, and still shit-wrecked it.

Line Ahead is fine if you're cool with gambling, but assuming you did 4bb2cv you have enough firepower to still obliterate any non-boss node in 2-4 with Line Abreast formation, and the extra armor/evade is VERY noticeable.

It's not a requirement by any means, but it's a safe approach.

>>11680700
I always sparkle for the 5th one but the shorter ones probably aren't worth it

>>11680699
>>11680700
Well, looks like RNG wants to punish me for getting through 2-4 on the first try.
Anyway thanks.

Imma sortie in 4-3, see what happens

>>11680744
Why do you have so many low level carriers?

>>11680750
Because I've just built them ?

>>11680744
How are your carriers so low level or do you never use them ever?

>>11680744
reenact midway and sink all of them

>>11680760
I am waiting for Yorktown sisters to show up ingame. Would gloat about Midway fleet all day every day.

Is world 3 overwiew on wikia down for anyone else ?

>>11680775
It works.

>>11680775
no?

Welp, looks like I'm getting the same thing as you when not logged in. It seems like its definitely not a browser issue; probably Wikia's been screwing around again. They're likely to be doing maintenance, or testing out things. They've been introducing new Web 2.0 bloat within the past few days, apparently.

The page contents are still present on the wiki; the page history shows that no one has touched that page since December 1. Not sure if other people are getting something similar.

>>11680818
I'm not logged in and it's working.

>>11680821
Edit. Actually, I tried opening it in chrome and it doesn't work there. Fine in firefox.

>>11680824
There you have it. It only fails to properly load the page if you use a browser that does not respect your freedoms.

So, to confirm, this *is* the normie phone game?

My friend who draws shit on pixiv said they contacted him to ask him if he wanted to draw Kancolle images for money, pretty pathetic...

You only answered half of my question, and incorrectly.

>>11680837
It's obvious normies wouldn't play such a lewd game filled with cute girls.

>>11680837
Different person here, I'll bite.

Normals don't play games with cute girls in them. They play NBA 2K13, Call of Duty, and whatever the latest rehash of Dance Dance Revolution they now have in Nipponian arcades. Normals find games like these uninteresting or creepy, and it's more catered towards the shut-in type of person.

Use of phones is prohibited by staff, therefore it is not a "phone game".

>>11680841

Yeah, just like they won't play Fate/Shit or watch anime because of the sexualization in those things. Normals hate sex and girls!

Sorry, no. Sexualized girls (especially young girls) are the #1 marketing tool on the planet..

"Normal people can't possibly be Kancolle's main audience, because they don't like sexualized teenage girls"

>>11680852
Why does it matter to you then? How does it change anything? Why are you even arguing here?

I don't care about what the number 1 marketing tool is. It has nothing to do with this thread.

Safe to say that trading will never be implemented right?

>>11680859

Holy fuck, this normal is PISSED.

Is this how all normies react when you completely annihilate them in an argument? They just go start saying obviously wrong shit like kancolle discussion isn't relevant to kancolle?

Is trolling the kankore crossboarder the new epic hobby?
That's the problem with extremely active threads. People feel the need to reply to everything.

>>11680861
The moment they do is the moment half the reason continuing to play the game dies.

>>11680864
It's probably just babby's first troll.

>>11680861
Goddamn it, you have everything that I've been trying for a long damn time. And I bet you're using those to feed, since you already have them.

>>11680864

It's like using birdshot to hunt rabbits. Doesn't feel fair, really.

>>11680866

>babby's first <x>

...Is this normal actually using /a/b/v/ memes on my board?...

>>11680861
Why else would they plan to add friends?

>>11680872
To make the game more social, perhaps. I'm predicting co-operative sorties between fleets of different players taking place simultaneously, something like fleet support. Didn't they also say that there would be coast defense ships in the future used for escort missions? This would fit right into that kind of thing.

It's adorable how the thread is barren before I start posting, I literally wreck some normie kids with my logic, then everyone hurriedly starts posting about the game as if to get the ownage behind them that much quicker. "oh GOD please let it end. PLEASE he's owning us so hard"

>>11680829
My dad works for kancolle and he said that you're a faggot.

>>11680872
So you can send some of your expeditionary fleets to aid friends with support fire in different maps.

Or so you can finally have social interaction within the game itself so you don't have to resort to these threads to blog about how RNG fucks you over or how much you'd like to taste Yubari's melons.

>>11680875

>To make the game more social, perhaps.

Nice, my dad showed me this game and its rly cool with lots of hot babes nd super hard (took me all of saturday mornin to do 2-4 XD), would b nice if i could talk to him ingame too lolz even tho were in the same house, its like "hellooo can u hear me now, good"

>>11680875
>>11680881
That could be interesting.

>>11680881
Can someone explain the Yubari melons joke?
It doesn't look like she has big tits. Is it like the sakuya PADs joke?

>>11680859
Stop being a faggot and replying to him. You're even worse than he is because you're willing allowing the thread to go to shit.

>>11680881
Yubari's melons is always related.

>>11680885
Her region is famous for it
