Kaga has an appealing, homey dumpiness about her. She is, by all accounts, a happy ship to serve on.

ナイススレ！

Why did the janitor delete the other thread? Is he so petty that he'll delete thread just because he wants to be the OP?

>>11687365
I want to be dumpy with Kaga.

>>11687368
Lewdest sub.

>>11687371

I want to dumpy my load in your mom's dumphole, fag.

>>11687354
>>11687365

Why is this fan art so shitty? Who draws lines this way except retards fresh out of art class?

>>11687375
best sub, tied with Imuya

Hmm.. trying to decide if it is worth it to get more ship space so I can have each unique ship. Does anyone else here keep at least one of each?

>>11687388

*fart*

>>11687388
I try to, although I can only train 2 or so at a time. I haven't even gotten all the DDs to first remodel at lvl20 yet, that's with 2 months of playing time.

>>11687404

God you're so shit at this game. Why are you awful?

Hold on.
There is a anime where girls are guns.
There is a anime where girls are planes.
And now there is a anime where girls are ships and submarines?

How deep the rabbit hole goes? Did it dug all the way to China?

>>11687418

It digs right into the Japanese jews' pockets.

>>11687418
Janny, you missed one.

>>11687484
Girls and artillery when?

>>11687484
No, no, let him stay, his missing grammar is amusing at least.

>>11687388
I don't think I could bare to get rid of even the common DDs to make extra room. Much easier to part with $10.

Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later, unless there's a possibility of Taihou being included.

>>11687564
>プチ-event

That made me smile. Also I don't think we'll need to save up very many resources for it--we'll need them for crafting Yamato instead like the terrible bad new players we are.

>>11687578
I believe it will last only for about one week, maybe getting both Christmas and New Years.

>>11687564
Probably a beginner friendly event, doubt we will need to actually save resources and stuff.

>>11687564
Whatever the reward might be, it won't be as good as say Yamato or Musashi considering the difficulty they plan this event.

>>11687594
I just want Iona.

Blog time because I know /jp/ loves it.

Finally done with the god damn crafting in this game until they implement Yamato crafting, got every single rare ship now.

>>11687588
>>11687594

That would be nice, though after spending so much time leveling my ships for what I thought would be a difficult event I'm a little sadden.

At least I'll be able to breeze through it without too much resources spent.

>>11687603
I'm still missing Nagato.

I'm not quite getting it, what tweet is he referring to?

>>11687617
https://twitter.com/KanColle_STAFF/status/375481743051988993

>>11687617
Character bots on twitter.

>>11687484
Wich one?
And my name isn't Janny.

I was just surprised that Japan was capable of making little girls anything.

>>11687388

Janny you are missing GuP

https://twitter.com/haruna_allright
The only character bot/RP on Twitter worth following.

I made a Kongou right off the bat and she's making my destroyers seem useless. Are they just there to be cute?

>>11687648

You'll need them in 3-2 and they are pretty useful in night combat

What should my fleet look like for taking 1-3?

Like at least 6 light cruisers?

>>11687648
Yeah, they're useless especially on 3-2. Don't even bother.

>>11687648
Pretty much, the game is realistic in the sense that destroyers are only really useful during night and against subs. Their resource consumption is also really low so they're great for expeditions and such. Just wait until you get fucked in the ass by 4 hours repair time and 200 steel and 100 fuel to repair kongou, though

>>11687652
6dd can clear 1-3.

Seriously, 1-3 is a cakewalk.

So... this game is shit, right?

Is the 12.7cm Cannon better than the 14cm Cannon?

Or does range actually mean something?

>>11687696
Anything is seriously better than the 14cm gun. caliber is not really a measurement of gun quality in this game

>>11687708
Also, it doesn't seem like equipping torpedoes are worth that much early on, since torps always seem to clean up after. And it's more the cannon damage that's important at the start.

>>11687648
>cute

>>11687718
Yes?

>>11687648
fuck you i have crafted 3 hieis
still no kongou

However, when I finally do get muh Kongou, she will be having turbodyke tomboy for breakfast, lunch, and maybe dinner.

Why does this game's fanbase seem to think it's perfectly OK to fantasize about having sex with obviously underage girls?

Do you not understand this is morally wrong? Kind of amazing to me.

>>11687723
Oh hey, I just started playing yesterday and got her when I cleared the first level. Was surprised to see how good she is considering I got her.

Anyway, I have a question. Do I need to have the VPN connected at all times to keep playing? I like to play and leave these types of games. Also, staying connected to the VPN seems to kill everything but my browser in terms of usefulness.

>>11687716
It seems like torpedo is only useful on submarine and certain DD. Torpedo really need a buff to make them relevant again.
I have everyone with 10cm just so they can shoot planes and depth charges.

Also is this the new way to troll in PVP? Stacking carriers and mixing it up with subs?

>>11687365
She's cute. I kind of want a Kaga now.

>>11687738
The only troll way was to put 2 lv1 ships on the first two positions and then fill the rest with high level ships.

>>11687735
Welcome. You only need to have the VPN connected when logging in.

Otherwise, using API link + Flash projector doesn't require a VPN at all.

>>11687738
>10cm just so they can shoot...depth charges.
I've never seen this anywhere.

Is there really no way to get the carpenter fairies beyond hating money and events?

>>11687738
Carriers are so easy to defeat, just load all your ships with AA guns or 46cm for BB's and suddenly planes are a little bit less harmless than fruit flies.

The most trolling lineup is 4 submarines + 2 battleships. This guy I fought had level 6 level 99 ships, it took me a few client abusing to get a good RNG roll to get an S-rank.

>>11687746
I haven't thought of using the API link, I'll go try that out next time I hop on. I'm assuming that I need a new link every time I reopen the game?

>>11687758
Link stays the same until you re-visit the game's page in the browser. Also, it's like your password, so keep it safe.

>>11687758
No. The API link last indefinitely until you access the game again through VPN.

>>11687735
>>11687758

You should really, really read the wiki.

>>11687761
>>11687762
Ah I see, thanks for the info. Any recommended projectors? Or should I just go with the basic Adobe Standalone?

>>11687767
I have, just double checking things. I usually fuck up when I don't double check.

>>11687768
Adobe's standalone works fine right out of the box. As the other anon said, all this information, including any possible troubleshooting while using the projector, is on the wiki. Good luck!

>>11687773

whew excuse me... nasty farts :)...

>>11687708
It generally is with exceptions- 15.5CM Yellow > 20.3CM, and 15.2CM Yellow (and red really) 14CM and 12CM are all shit.

>>11687723
Ahaha, I always thought they would change her lines when upgraded to Kai 2. Her ppoi speak and everything doesn't really fit the violent image.

>>11687796

I thought so as well, but it's actually cute when you really look at it.

>>11687796
>>11687800
But her tone is different. It is part of her act to be badass.

Who's dick do i have to suck to get a kaga drop? I've been doing 4-1 repeatedly, on that W route so i have two chances at getting her dropped. Been going for ages and nothing, but i've gotten every other carrier drop multiple times.

>>11687804
Even Hiryuu?

>>11687809
Thought i had her, but looking at the list i mixed a few up. So all i've got all but hiryuu and kaga.

>>11687804
Even Zuikaku?
I have probably gotten more than 10kaga with zero hiryuu.

>>11687818
No Kaga and 2x Hiryuu already from 2-3, if I remember.

*FLLRRRRRRRRWWAWAWAAAAXXXXXXAAAZZZZZZZZZZZRRRRRRRRRLLLPP[ARARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP*

>>11687824
Consider yourself too lucky. Hiryuu only drop in like 3maps while Kaga drops in almost every map and every node.

>>11687844
Really? Im in the same position as that anon, only missing Kaga and Zuikaku here.

I keep doing sorties and stuff but she just refuses to drop.

5-3 can be sub cheesed?

>>11687855
Can you do that for other maps like 3-4 and 4-4?
Would probably save a lot of resources if I do 4 subs on those maps instead of going with the normal BB/CV/CLT fleet

>>11687859
Don't ask me, I only found that pic while lurking on Futaba.

>>11687859
I have sub cleared 3-4. It was too annoying to deal with the 4x battleship preboss node.

I don't think you can make it to boss node with all subs at 4-4. My real headache atm is that I don't have an ideal way to get S finish at that node. My lineup is Verniy, Shigure, 3xBB, 1xCA.

>>11687859
Why would you want to do that?
It is all about getting S rank on those maps. Wouldn't even do them if I cant get any rare drop from those maps.

>>11687871
Because I want to unlock world 5, can go back and do them for drops after I've cleared them later.

I know I need 2 CA for 4-3, but what should the rest of my fleet look like?

>>11687883
If you're trying to clear it, there's really no reason to deviate from the standard torpedo goddess + two tanky damage dealers (battleships) formula.

>>11687855
5-3 has a boss HP bar like in event maps?

>>11687876
You only need to beat 3-4 once and 4-4 before its final form is easy S rank. I am not sure how much resources you can save by cheesing with subs. You probably waste more time than whatever resources you can save.

>>11687912
I thought 4-4 by itself was already really easy, the only tough part was the compass trolling.

>>11687915
It has a troll sub and your BB can choke during night state doing single digit damage.

>>11687921
I thought you're only required to down the boss but not the sub? I swear I cleared it with an A rank, my CA ignored the sub as well.

Featuring: Fall Event 2013.

Those feels..

>>11687951
My ptsd came back from that chapter. Seriously, fuck the trolling compass.

Newish admiral here, I have no idea where to go from now.

Still at 2-4 in terms of map completion. I wanna do a lot of stuff but it seems I have a problem resources-wise. At first it was fuel, but now I have steel issues.

Current fleet regulars:
Lv32 Nagato Kai
Lv23 Ise Kai
Lv18 Hiyou
Lv17 Takao
Lv17 Atago
Lv14 Hiei
Lv11 Akagi

I also have a few I used to use, like Lv19 Isuzu Kai and Lv11 Hibiki. Lost my Goya a couple of days back, but got a new one from crafting recently.

Whatdo next?

I have been told for 4-4 I need 2 DD and 1 CA, what should my last three be? 2 BB and a CLT? I need to clear it (4 times, I guess) but will want to farm there for a while.

>>11687963
Train up Goya and solo 2-4 with her. Should only take 5-10 runs, maybe 15 if you are unlucky. From there 3-1 is easy as fuck and 3-2 is a good steel farming spot (again, with a sub).

>>11687965
Why not 1 BB and 2 CLT?

>>11687971
Fuck, I guess I'm so used to using 2BB that I didn't even consider that. That sounds solid, thanks.

>>11687969
Any recommendations for Goya training? I used to run my old one solo at 1-1, but if you have better suggestions that'd be nice.

>>11687974
Just run her at 2-4 a few times (you'll fail the nodes but it's like <10 minute repair) until she's level 10. At that point she can actually attack, so give her a turbine. You probably won't beat 2-4 with her that low level but if you keep doing that she'll eventually get to a level where she can (this is what I did, at least). Only downside is your sortie win ratio will drop, but in times of non-event that isn't a big deal.

>>11687971
I personally brought another CA along instead of a CLT for cheap AA since the boss' last form has those fortresses. Besides, they ignore the flagship sub as well, what's not to like? The CLT's AA stat are't impressive in my opinion.

>>11687978
Scumbagging 2-4 with a sub is great resource-wise, but honestly, I'd say he's better off leveling ships in 2-4-1. 2-4-1 drops all the BBs you'll ever need, and those levels will probably come in handy since the next event is probably due in a week or two.

>>11687985
See >>11687564

>>11687985
Yeah I did 2-4-A myself for a while, mainly to get Ooi. With Nagato, Ise, and Hiei though, I think he should be set for BB.

>>11687978
>>11687985
>>11688000
Thanks, I'll consider those. I'll probably mix those a bit since I wanna get the Kongou sisters for the 4th fleet.

I want a CLT too, what should I do for that?

>>11688002
If you run 2-4-A (first node, bail after it) you can get both Kitakami and Ooi. Ooi is rare though; I might've gotten screwed over in RNG but it took about 100 runs (though the xp is nice). Kitakami I got pretty quickly.

I've gotten at least 30 KTKMs. She even drops from 30 30 30 30 crafts. Ooi I never ran into until E-5 of last event.

How do you use kancolle-db? I want to add my attempts to the database to help out the sample size, but I'm not sure what you're suppose to put in "トリップ" and if you're suppose to put what you got in the "艦娘" slots, or are those slots for what girls you have in your fleet.

>>11688011
Really? I have like three Oois and I got an Ooi before I got a KTKM.

So who here is still crane sniping? How's your luck been in terms of hunting them, and did you get them from crafting or sorties? Personally at 3 Zuikaku's, all crafting.

>>11688028
Ah, screw you. I've been hunting for them forever and it's been nothing but CVL's and an Akagi from crafting.

What if they give an overpowered exclusive ship only to people who buy the vita game?

>>11688034
Good for them, they paid for it.

>>11688028
One Zuikaku from 5-2.
I don't bother crafting except daily all 30.

>>11688028
Only shoukaku and from the event.
No zuikaku

>>11688034
Just a single one wouldnt be too bad. Its not like the biggest part of the game isnt that one off ship getting critted, a single op ship doesnt help much against that.

>>11688034
I honestly wouldn't mind a trophy ship bundled with the vita game, more reason to buy it.

They would probably make her craftable later if they do give away a ship with the vita game because it would really suck if she sinks and it would suck for the people that want to have all ships but dont want to spend money/get the vita game

>>11688028
Got 1 Shoukaku from crafting, and 1 Zuikaku from 5-2, within a day's time. Luck hasn't been great from crafting and sorties after that.

>>11688028
Missing Shoukaku-hime, already got Zuikaku from my crafting. (Was my first carrier crafting)

>>11688028
Crafted Shoukaku after clearing E-4 and then crafted Zuikaku shortly after the event ended.

That small burst of luck was balanced out by no Musashi or Yahagi.

New player, is it worth just crafting a battleship to carry the early game?

Or should I just rely on drops? Aircraft Carriers aren't dying fast enough.

>>11688028
3shoukaku and 0zuikaku.
I am only missing zuikaku, nagato, mikuma and a few of those rare DDs at the moment.

So I've been really busy recently and unable to play in the last 2months bit I'm getting started again.

What exactly is the marriage system?

Samidare is cute, I suppose.
http://samidare.is-mine.net/

>>11688083
You probably want to craft your first one

>>11688095
I'd say so, you're better off getting any battleship that isnt the fusou sisters.

>>11688091
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get from that website.

>>11688105
Passion

>>11688083
Depend on your luck
If you can get any gold BB from 2-2, then you are set. CV/CVL is more important for 2-4 compare to BB. Even the fusou sisters are good enough for 2-4, you can always scrap them later when you get to 3-2 or just sink them at 2-4 boss node.

>>11688105
Just a compilation of information with Samidare as your secretary.

>>11688109
I can't beat 1-4 atm...

What kind of fleet should I be looking at there? In terms of levels.

I cant seem to be able to beat 2-4. The game keeps taking me east then west after the first node.

So I crafted three Tenryuus consecutively with 30/30/30/30
Is the game trying to tell me something?

>>11688160
Level does not matter that much, 10+ should do the job. The only problem you will have is the carriers, so get some AA and choose diamond formation.

>>11688165
Yeah, she's the Naka of the Month, you will see her a lot more before the new one comes along.

>>11688171
I'm not even mad, 30/30/30/30 is worth it to listen to her intro line.

>>11687708
>>11687785
Well each piece of equipment in the game seems to be a single turret or mount, so the 14cm single gun and 15.2cm sponson gun are logically weak.

How do they even decide naval gun size? Why make a 20.3cm gun? Why not a 24.5cm gun for CAs?

>>11688171
Getting AA means trying to get AA guns through development?

>>11688184
Yeah, they are pretty cheap. The hardest thing for me when I was attacking 1-4 is the air raid.

>>11688187
Just put 12.7cm green gun on all of them.
Should be a common stock gun on most ships.

>>11688178
If the caliber is too high, or the turrets too many, you start receiving damage from the recoil. I think Mogami couldn't even fire all her guns without tearing at her seams, and there are incidents where careless sailors have been killed from the recoil of their guns (however, the effect of gunfire on ship movement is fairly negligible, so the ship as a whole does not recoil unless your design is ridiculously top-heavy). So that's your upper limit to size.

There have been attempts to circumvent these limitations, mostly involving steel rafts carrying the biggest cannons the engineers could think of. While the largest naval gun in history has been on the hugest battleships ever made, the second largest was instead equipped to destroyer-sized ships. These ships weren't seaworthy, since they could topple over at the drop of a hat, but held their own in coastal defense and shore bombardment.

>>11688178
Funny you should ask. The Washington Naval Treaty put limits the types of guns and displacements allowed for warships after ww1. Heavy cruisers by definition have guns of a maximum of 8 inch caliber (20.3cm) while light cruisers have 6 inch guns.

Also >>11688194
Is the reason we don't have Yuubari Ai.

>>11688207
Oh yeah, that too. My bad.

Another fun fact: Mogami-class was classified as CLs because they had 6-inch turrets, except the mounts were made to accept both 6-inch and 8-inch turrets. When war began, they dropped their 6-inches, equipped the bigger cannons, and set sail as heavy cruisers.

>>11688193
You mean red gun?

>>11688215
More fun facts. Those 15.5cm gun turrets (red) originally on Mogami became the 15.5cm guns (yellow) on the Yamato. I'm not really sure why they have different stats ingame.

>>11688223
I think he meant this: http://wikiwiki.jp/kancolle/?12.7mm%C3%B1%C1%F5%B5%A1%BD%C6

>>11688229
Don't have any, only the 7.7mm AA

With this, maybe I'll be able to match Akagi and Kaga?

>>11688231
Poor RJ.

>>11688230
Seems pretty cheap: http://wikiwiki.jp/kancolle/?%B3%AB%C8%AF#c2702c9a

I think planes recipes and 46cm yield them as well but considering that you're in 1-4, it would be too early. Just use what you can and pray.

>>11688231
why is RJ plane slotting retarded

>>11688240
Well you see, if we see the first slot as the head, the second slot as the chest and so on, I think we can rationalise that RJ is overcompensating for something.

>>11688242
Does that mean Kaga wants to have a bigger ass?

>>11688231
If you manage to get another two Reppus for the last two slots, she would tie Kaga's AA's stat exactly.

Ganbatte, RJ-chan!

>>11688246
Well, the 母 stands for mother after all so child-bearing hips?

What's a good way to buy DMM points without using a credit card?

>>11688223
No I mean this.
I dont even know how I get all of these. They are stock gun from common ships.

>>11688251
How exactly do you plan to pay?

>>11688253
It's just I can't use my debit card directly for some reason. So I need to use one of those alternatives they have listed, but don't know which ones the easiest for foreigners.

>>11688251
>>11688255
I remember the old guide which is pretty long winded and very troublesome. I think you can still find it in the wiki or the old pastebin link in the FAQ.

>>11688255
I was able to use a VISA debit following the instructions exactly. The way people used to do it was using Sutocorp to buy Bitcash to buy DMM points but that was obnoxious.

>>11688252
Chitose/Chiyoda stock equipment

>>11688251
jwpm is the best way I've found - it's the same general idea as sutocorp (web money), but -much- easier and far faster to do, with none of that verification shit. Literally you just pay (via paypal) and immediately download the code (they give you a .jpg that is an image of the code) and it works immediately.

There are a loooot of horror stories about sutocorp jewing people out of money or forcing them to contest paypal charges or just never getting their code, whereas I've yet to see anything bad about jwpm or (though I haven't personally tested it) cn-usa.

What's the best way to get AA modernization, Isuzu-Kai?

>>11688360
just farm for carriers

>>11688360
BBs from 3-2 grinding

>>11688377
You mean light carriers from 3-2 grinding. Junyou in particular drops like crazy.

>>11688383
My ratio of carriers to BBs are 1:8 from there. I'm convinced BBs drop more often than carriers

>>11688360
Farm boss for gold/silver bg ground

>>11688304
I googled jwpm, and didn't find anything that is of the like...

God, I wasnt ready for a damage sprite Yukikaze have. What a slut

>>11688436
She doesn't wear pants, what do you expect?

>>11688436
All DD daughters are pure, including Yukikaze. It's not that fault that their uniforms were made that way.

Please stop sexualizing the destroyers.

It is not her fault that she got blasted

>>1168844
But they are sexualizied by themselves. Can't help it.

>>11688430
...I'm a retard. Sorry. jpwm, not jwpm. japan webmoney.

My bad.

Start leveling your Kisos, she's becoming a torpedo goddess.

>>11688497
But Ooi claims that there's only the two of them.

>>11688497
Oh yes, that would be most welcome. I am ready.

>>11688507
There are two of them, Kitakami and Kiso. I don't believe in Ooi anymore, after failing to get her for 4 months. Kitakami is just delusional about having a sister.

>>11688497
>After arriving at Maizuru on 10 November 1943, Kiso was also modified by having her two 140-mm gun mounts removed and replaced by a dual 127-mm HA gun mount. Three triple mount and six single mount Type 96 25-mm AA guns were also installed bringing their total to 19 (3x3, 2x2, 6x1).
Nope

Well, good thing she drops from all maps save one like a Rattata, then.

>>11688515
All those depth charges, is that you afk team against sub cheesers?

>>11688531
I'm 18 levels above him but I only have a single ship in the 90s.

All these second remodels and visual updates don't help either.

>>11688518
>>11688497
There was a proposal to modify Kiso in the same way as KTKM and Ooi, but that was never followed through.

Kiso will get AA boost I think.

>>11688531
I don't do submarine runs or the sortie dailies, so my HQ level is pretty low. In fact I'd be still level 65 or so if not for the event and Makigumo runs.

>>11688536
No, I just have depth charges on all the time for submarines in PvP. I leave two high-level ships for PvP, as should every admiral worth his name.

>>11688556
If you want Ooi you gotta put some effort into it. Is your love for her so shallow?

For expeditions, should I just keep spamming the 5th one that gives the most fuel and shit?

>>11687375
She may be the lewdest sub, but is she more lewd compared to Kisaragi?

>>11688579
2, 5, 9

>>11688579
Wiki has a list of which are best for what. There are a number of standout expeditions, depending on what you want.

2 is you primary source of buckets, and really good for ammo+decent for steel. 3 is best for xp and good for fuel/ammo, VERY good for steel. 5 is a very solid standby for fuel/ammo. 6 is god tier bauxite and pretty good for furniture boxes. 9 and 13 are good for overnight fuel (both) or fuel/ammo (13).

>>11688582
Too bad kisaragi's form are not lewd.
With those quotes, she could use a bit more lewd appearance

>>11688586
She's trying so hard to tease the admiral, but she probably never saw a penis in her life and would be more embarrassed about the idea of sex than even the other destroyers.

Cutest destroyer.

>>11688590
Mah nigga

She seriously need to look more lewd honestly

>>11688598
I think her NOT looking lewd is a fair bit of what makes her sultry voice and lewd wording so striking. She looks like just a pretty girl, but beneath the demure surface is a raging beast waiting to be unleashed.

For that weekly with perfect S score, do I have to get it from boss node?

>>11688650
no, you can farm those on 1-1-A if you want

>>11688650
No, thankfully.

>>11688656
>>11688658
Good grief, thanks.

>>11688650
Yes

>>11688590
>>11688627
Despite never having seen a penis in her life before, she ends up learning so quick that her first night with the admiral ends with the admiral twitching and sniffling in the blanket while she swigs some fuel by a window, basking naked in the moonlight with a smug smile on her face.

>>11688671
I'd sooner give I-19 my torpedo.

>>11688671
You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

I rather like that mental image.

>>11688674
I would if I hadn't sunk her

Sigh, this is why playing two games at once is a bad idea

>>11688688
When in doubt, bugger out.
I disengaged from a node because my Ooi was at orange and I wasn't sure if that meant she was sinkable next battle.

>>11688691
I had perfectly no idea at that time, and yes, you are right, I should have just bailed on that sortie. This is a really harsh lesson for me

Although to be fair, they could've just show the fleets health and condition in the "proceed/go back to base" screen. I mean, that's not asking too much, is it?

How many times have you gone into night combat with a damaged girl and had her punched down to 1 HP?

It's four times now and each time I swear I'll never do it again.

>>11688702
The only time I did it was E-3 when I my Hyuga was in the red and the boss was in orange. I took a risk and pin everything on my DD to take her out. Thankfully she did.

>>11688702
Everyday 24/7

>>11688702
I don't feel bad about doing this, as long as I've calculated my risks and found them to be acceptable. These are ship girls, they are meant to fight. If this entails a glorious death in battle, then so be it.

Throwaway ships however are completely unacceptable and I have no respect for the sort of scum who use them. Falling in battle is one thing, but no one gets sent to their death on purpose in this admiralty.

>>11688708
You're a subhuman for risking Kaga and Akagi

>>11688712
Anon, you do know they wont sink at night right?

>>11688710
People that use throwaway ships aren't cut out for the map anyways. Their resources and level are too low to carry it out. It's a bad choice really.

>>11688712
Nothing of value would be lost.

>>11688715
CarDiv1 is better than 5. Suck it cranefags.

>>11688710
I can respect that. I'm too much of a carebear to do it, though.

>>11688715
If it was the 5th carrier fleet, they would have been critically damaged on the previous node and forced to retreat. They suck.

Too bad they all sunk at the Midway

>>11688702
many times and i don't feel bad about it.

>>11688699
> they could've just show the fleets health and condition in the "proceed/go back to base" screen.
you need to rely on 3rd party application for that.

>>11688719
If it was the 5th fleet they wouldn't even come to the operation because Shokaku broke a nail again or something.

Fucking cranes, they are the worst ships in the whole IJN.

>>11688727
Oh fuck me why wasn't I aware of this things

Wait, is that only available on win8 metro app? Or is there an desktop app for it? (or alternatively, just tell me what to google and I'll find it myself)

>>11688727
Is this compatible with windows7 ?

>>11688742
You need win8 for compatibility, last I checked...

>>11688743
Fucking shitty win8. WHY.

I guess it's time to fire up shitty win8 on virtual machine then... What's the name if this thing? ... It's not that sanaechan everyone is talking about, is it?

>>11688742
It works with windows 7. There are 1 or 2 unusable functions though (something about expedition). Also I didn't know about an English version.

>>11688747
KanColleViewer

>>11688747
Different one, IIRC the feature is just same, only difference is the language and probably the setup.

>>11688786
Why are you expecting an aircraft carrier to have any sort of torpedo stat?

>>11688786
carriers have 0 max torp stat, I don't know what you expected

>>11688786
What is torpedo bomber?

>>11688787
>>11688790
You guys can't miss the point this hard for real right ?
I'll admit the joke isn't much fun, but it's not hard to get what he meant by "torpedoes" given the rest of the fleet.

>>11688795
I thought that was what you we're getting at first but Noshiro and preremodeled Chiyoda threw me off. Would've been better if you switched one of them to Takao and Musashi or something.

>>11688805
But Musashi, being a battleship, has 0 torpedo stat.

>>11688795
The Chiyoda threw me way off

>>11688805
Tenryuu or Tatsuta would have been easier.

>>11688727
Hrmmmhh I can't get that english interface.

Looking at the code and recompiling it doesn't seem to help either

>>11688889
Looks like this guy's fork: https://github.com/silfumus/KanColleViewer

Am I the only one who prefer the simplicity of sanaechan over kancolleviewer? It also takes up less screen space.

I'll assume you're the same shitposter that's been haunting the KC thread since the beginning of time because you failed lottery. You told you spent your precious limited life time to pick on KC players because it was a fun thing to do.
I think you can extrapolate from there why people do the things they are not forced to do, one being us playing this game.

>>11689084
Stay strong little buddy, I had Kongou and Hiei for 1 week, then Haruna joined me and 2 weeks later only I found a Kirishima.

>>11689094

What?

The key difference here is I enjoy how I spend my time, it will eventually create larger enjoyment. You are spending your time on a shitty normal person game and a normie thread populated mostly by /a/b/v/ extradites. If you enjoy this, it can only be because you yourself are a normie.

LLLLKMAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOO I LOVE THIS MEME

Alright /jp/, which new mechanics do you want to see in the game? Taiho will apparently have some new trick up her sleeves, what do you think it will be? Are you planning to move one or more upcoming girls to your main fleet, or is your A-team more or less complete?

Which ship do you intend to marry, and is she level 99 yet?

>>11689178
... Wait what? I am so confused. Damn son.

I think I saw that posted before, but it was an image, so I thought it was just a photoshop

>>11689189
Taiho? Not that big of a crit magnet would be enough.
I don't know if the new bauxite consumption stuff is going to be work out ok, so we'll find out.

>>11689190
>>11689189

Why do these posts smell of crossboarders?

you can't play this on smartphone right?

>>11689193
>new bauxite consumption
Please no.
Do they really expect us to not use reppu or ryuusei and stick with tenzan and type52 zero?

>>11689196

You can. It's the standard fare for normies with phones.

>>11689196
easy to get banned, real easy. You need to cache the game contents on your phone if you want to play it reliably, and mask your header so that the server won't know you are loading from mobile browser.

>>11689152
do you mean the file or the UI?
it's on .\Grabacr07.KanColleViewer\Views\

>>11689192

>>11689189
Planning on moving Iona to my main fleet if they give her away in the xmas event.

I have a event team but I want to improve it so im leveling some ships. Currently leveling Nagato, Shoukaku, Suzuya, Shigure, Shimakaze and Yukikaze to add to my main team but its taking a really long while to level them all.

For marriage, I think I'll go with Imuya, level 79 right now.

>>11689206

FUCK YOU

>>11689206
cause he wants to feel good about himself for a change.

>>11689205
Is it? Damn, I might be looking at the wrong thing the whole time then. I am currently looking at .\Grabacr07.KanColleViewer\ViewModels\ instead, maybe that's why

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU

>>11689209

Why do you gotta go there? Do you feel good about making fun of my depression?

Sigh...

>>11689213

EPIC FAIL! xd

>>11689189
>Taiho
It was speculated last thread she could launch planes at heavy damage. I think that would make sense too.
>New game mechanics
I think players interaction is one of the most awaited features. Joint operation would be the best I guess.
The bauxite adjustment consumption rate is probably not going to happen since CV aren't going out on maps where's they'd be effective with tier 1 planes, so that change would be like directly raising carrier cost, which would be poorly received.
I think I'd like a 5th fleet eventually, it would be handy during event times when 3 fleets are used for completion.
Also, I'd want them to distribute more item per months. like, only the first few hundreds is pretty low given there's an average of 80000 ish players per servers. Or maybe giving 100 seiran to random people each month. Yeah, I want seirans but I'm lazy.
>Marriage
I hope this won't be a forever thing, like you can divorce or something, and re-marry afterwards, especially if it's a stat thing. A flagship =! Secretary system only is good.
for now, I can only marry KTKM and Ooi, but I'd want to marry Haruna I think.
>A-team
I don't have that, I just level a lot of ships. But as a carrier lover, I really want Taiho.

>>11689218
Taiho's capacity might be only Hiryuu level at best. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if she can only store about as much as the Chitochiyo.

>>11689222
All carriers can hold a bit more planes than they could IRL, and Taiho was Hiryuu-level.
But since she's a pretty special ship, I on the contrary wouldn't be surprised if they made her shokaku-level in term of capacity.
They like making prize ship excellent in some aspect, while terribad in others. I expect horrible luck and consumption, while kaga-like HP with some more armor maybe.

>>11689213
.\Grabacr07.KanColleViewer\ViewModels\ is used primarily for handling notification (e.g fleet condition, finished task notification). the lack of xaml files in that folder should give you a hint, though.

>>11689226
Why of course, I should have noticed that miles away honestly.

This is a good learning experience in my case at least, but goddamn I'm so dumb

>>11689230
>while terribad in others
definitely luck, i expect vanilla Mutsu's kind of luck.

>>11689234

Can you comment on what it's like to play this game as a crossboarder? Is it easier because you're used to everything you interact with being shit?

>>11689237
Would she be worse than mutsu or better than mutsu?

>>11689189
I'd like to see the whole torpedo cruiser thing fixed - both in terms of there being more girls that can remodel to that, and torp cruisers being not so retardedly powerful so you don't actually NEED them.

Actually, and I know this is never ever ever going to happen BUT I CAN DREAM DAMMIT, I'd love to see a Fire Emblem-ish dual promotion system. Instead of it being linear, let people pick between two upgrades that boost certain statsand/or grant rarer equipment. Let DDs specialize in night battles and gain bonus evasion there, or add half(?) their torp stat to firepower even during the day. Let light cruisers pick from torpedo cruiser (torpedo spam, duh) or escort cruiser for extra firepower or something. I have no idea how it'd work and I know it will never happen, but honestly I wouldn't mind if they stopped having certain ships arbitrarily be better in every way than others (Maya > Choukai, hell the entire Takao class is better than Choukai... why? None of them are rare.) and let players customize their fleets to a degree.

I'd be happy just being able to send fire support expeditions to help out friends, though.

>>11689241
Everyone who isn't a outright shitposter is a crossboarder these days. You should just get used to it.

>>11689246

So you're formally admitting you're a crossboarder and like crossboarders? Can I get this in writing rather than a half-hearted nebulous meta-admission? Thanks.

>>11689245
Torp cruisers don't need a nerf.
Subs need a buff.

>>11689247
I have exclusively browsed /jp/ on 4chan since 2010, and I am a shitposter.

>>11689246
this is what crossboarders truly believe

>>11689241
I'm saying the code for kancolleviewer is hard to understand, I'm not talking about the game. I mean for god sake the game is a friggin flash swf file, I can't do shit with that

And no, the game itself isn't that hard to interact if you have common sense.

>>11689247
Why are you so dead-set on labeling everyone here as a normie crossboarder ? say we all admit to be, what will you do ?

>>11689245
They should encourage people to help others if they add the ability to support friends.

Like giving you a bucket or a flamethrower for helping a friend and you can only do it X times a day so people dont abuse it.

>>11689258
I guess he wants to make himself look normal.

>>11689265
I wouldn't mind if there was some way that we can convert one resource to another. Say take x amount of ammo and trade it for bauxite.

Card trading though would destroy the whole economy of this game. Stuff such as trading buckets and so forth would be plausible to do really.

>>11689245
I think the limitation is there's two of them only, actually. Maybe they could give the theoretical upgrade to Kiso with lower torp stat, and at a higher level.
At least I don't want them to be removed - they are really useful to get cheaper S rank in drills, and made E4/E5 much easier to deal with.

>>11689251
I would like to see sub-chans be rebalanced in general, honestly - would be nice to be able to use one in an actual fleet without feeling like I'm wasting a slot. It seems like by design they're either ridiculously strong (soloing for free resources with no repair cost) or entirely worthless (good luck consistently going more than 1-2 nodes in a later world vs multiple elite/flagship DD/CLs with sonars etc).

Honestly I think it'd be better if they just used the torpedo stat to launch torpedoes mid-battle and got some more survivability in return for not being essentially free to repair and maybe normalizing their repair time - let them be usable in an actual battle while fixing ("fixing") sub node farming. For that matter, why the hell are subs the fast ones to repair, not DDs? I like the idea of DDs being cheap, quick, and fragile. I dunno. Just throwing out random ideas. I'd love to be able to use a sub as a primary fleet member without KNOWING that she's going to autodie on the first world 3/4/5 node that happens to have more than one or two elite ASW ships.

I suspect that people who are ok with sub node farming will disagree, though, and I don't blame 'em in the least.

>>11689273
I don't want to see them removed either, I just don't like how much focus ktkm/ooi get. I LIKE them both, but I'd like it more if they were just a valid option (and that there were more options among CL(t)s) rather than GET HYPER KTKM, WIN AT LIFE FOREVER. At this point it's literally just "not sure what to put in a slot? KITAKAMI READY!" and there's (arguably) no other ship or class that has that much consistent cost effectiveness+power, especially not for as (relatively) cheap as they are to maintain.

>>11689277
KTKM does have a real weakness, in that she has no real AA. I actually don't like the torp monsters on heavy AA map at all.

>>11689277
Some girls are just better than others. There are only five "real" destroyers but it doesn't stop everybody from using the ones they like anyway, even the godawful Mutsuki-class destroyers who are just like regular destroyers if you removed ten from every stat.

>>11689277
You can use chito/chiyo too. They can do pretty good as seaplane tender with two 15.5 and a minisub.

>>11689242
between 3 or 5. i doubt it could go lower than that.

>>11689265
it would be nice if player's friends could provide supporting fire during an event.
replacing those per sortie basis in support expedition for time-based would be nice as well.

>>11689282
Mutsukis are ok for expedition (although I now have an Imuya acting as filler as well)

I would like to see a sub buff or a kai2 remodel for a sub, preferably Imuya.

A kai 2 upgrade that trades low repair times for more evasion, HP and maybe a bit more armor for better survivability in maps that have ASW ships or multiple ships that can shoot at them

>>11689025
I know I'm retarded but please help me this one time.
I have flash projector and downloaded this binary.
Now, how do I hook them up? I should have everything, but when I try to run the exe, hardly anything happens.

>>11689277
Well, Kiso will probably get torpedo cruiser treatment soon, so that will be 1 more to choose from.

Aside from having the lowest AA stat, you're forced to give up a slot for mini-sub, so you end up with less potential AA from equipment, too.

>>11689304
Did you even get any error message? Installed net framework 4.0 and/or 4.5?

>>11689307
Nothing. When I tried installing 4.5, it said it's already the part of the system so no need to install

>>11689290
I use whoever I like regardless, Yamashiro/Fusou for life, but comparing KTKM's absurd torpedo stat to chitose/chiyoda's just isn't really fair. The power of CL(t)s isn't JUST their ridiculous early strike, it's also that ridiculous early strike being augmented by even more absurd night battle prowess, and the oneshot potential lets them actually deal with heavy armor where most other ship types (DD/CL/CA/SS/CVL) really can't.

>>11689282
Mutsuki at least have cheaper... fuel costs, was it? Cheaper in fuel or ammo, I can't remember, so they're GREAT for expeditions. And I love their personalities, by and large.

>>11689296
A tanky sub with tradeoffs, eh? That would be pretty cool actually, and I'd like to see that. Maybe if/when the 400 series comes out we'll see something like that.

>>11689305
why do people keep bringing up that Kiso will get a torpedo cruiser remodel? Kiso got remodeled for stronger AA in history, not into a torpedo-cruiser.

>>11689312
Wait, I extracted it again and now it seems to work.
But I guess it's impossible to use the api link with it and I need proxy for it?
When I tried to change the game link to my api link, the app failed to start again.

>>11689304
In theory, you shouldn't even need the flash projector since everything is already in the binary. It should just open a window when you click the exe.

>>11689320
Oh yay, at least it works now

Nah, I put my api link and it works just fine without using proxy

how about try redownloading again

>>11689319
Well, let's focus on what really matters: She'll probably get some really cozy winter clothes, and new lines/possibly an hourly.

She has been with me for so long that I don't care what sort of upgrade she ends up with. It's enough that she does get one.

>>11689329
（計画のみ、未改装）

>>11689320
don't do it, i deleted my previous comment because putting api link directly into the config file caused it to crash.

>>11689325
Did you change anything else or just pasted your api link, overwriting the default one here?

<setting name="KanColleUrl" serializeAs="String">
<value>APILINKHERE/</value>
</setting>

>>11689338
Kinugasa received an unjustified kai2, and the unlucky BBs weren't actually BBV, so it wouldn't be strange for them to remodel Kiso into CLt.
Though, I doubt they'll do it due to balance. Or with a class nerf, but that would cause an uproar.

>>11689338
We know from the official twitter that a 5500 ton ship that took part in the Aleutian campaign is getting an update. From the interview in Febri we also know that a 3rd torpedo cruiser is in the works. Kiso is the only ship that makes any sense in both cases.

>>11689336
Oh man, it's been a long time since I looked up my api link and I forgot how to do it

But basically, whatever link I use to copy to my browser/flash projector (the one that starts with "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/kcs...")), that's what I used

>>11689334
Nah it works. I'm using my api link in there.

>>11689336
>>11689358
doesn't work for me. i wish it did so my link wouldn't reset though.

A lot of things are broken though like easy dailies with subs and of course CLTs. However, they can easily fix it by making more line abreast fleets in 2-2 and 2-3. For CLTs, I am not sure how to really fix them without a direct nerf.

>>11689364
Interesting, it crashes for me

>>11689364
Me too, no prob here

>>11689364
Did you do anything else? Like set up the proxy in IE or something? Crashes for me too.

>>11689370
>>11689368
Before this, I used a flash projector. The only real change I've made in IE is to increase the cache size. I'm also on win8, for what it's worth
.

>>11689376
Just realized I don't have NET 4.5 installed. Going to try that (otherwise same as you with Win7).

>>11689367
They could introduce anti-submarine nets, which would greatly decrease torpedo damage/accuracy or even make the equipped ship a non-target for torpedoes, a la Henderson Field. Enemy bases could even have anchorage-wide torpedo nets that guard every ship from attack (though the presence of the torpedo net would probably have to be announced beforehand or marked by some other way, such as the presence of an abyssal netlayer ship).

CLTs and submarines can then be barred from certain maps by including a couple of boom defense nodes, and on the player side it'd be a boon when tackling submarine nodes.

Oh well

>>11689381
That sounds fun as fuck. More craziness to deal with would certainly be a step up from the current stagnant "strategies."

I heard this game's devs pay Pixiv artists to draw fanart? What the fuck?

>>11689383
At least it's working, DarkStar.

Only changes I really want to see are:

1. Bauxite to refill at same speed as ammo/fuel
2. Mini subs being allowed on destroyers for initial torpedoes
3. Repair times to hang around more like 20 min to 60 min since 4+ hours is just ridiculous with how many and fast you can break the ships.

I think that would make it a lot easier to play with destroyers and carriers, instead of constantly feel like I should just bring BBs and torpedo sisters because everything else can't do damage or cost a fortune of bauxite.

>>11689376
>>11689378
Well, still not working for me. The regular link works, but I don't want to bother with the VPN every time.

>>11689381
They should introduce those ships in normal maps after the event so that people have to plan instead of blindly bringing CLTs in 99% of the maps.

How do you get kancolleviewer to run in the background like flash projector? I always alt tab while playing to at least make up for some productivity.

>>11689389
You believe everything you read/hear do you?

So when kancolleviewer says there's a ship with low morale, but there's no orange face, is that a calculated value, based on which, I shouldn't start a sortie?

>>11689415
>Mini subs being allowed on destroyers
What?

>>11689428
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Fatigue

>>11689415
let me guess, you've started like 1 week ago ?

>>11689415
>4+ hours
I don't want to tell you about my critted to 1hp, lvl98 carrier repair times

>>11689433
I know what fatigue is, and how it's calculated, but so far I thought that it's fine to go on a sortie if there're no faces.
Maybe I should use mamiya to judge instead of faces.

>>11689417
That's odd. Does it straight up crash, or are you just hanging on the loading screen? When you put your api link in IE, does it work?

Do bear in mind that every time you log in normally (via VPN), your api link will change.

>>11689421
Minimize it? Mine's running in a separate window.

>>11689415
They make money selling docks and shit. There's no way that repair times will ever decrease. Not that it matters anyways, as anyone that's played for a while will have some 300+ buckets.

>>11689434
About 30 hours?

>>11689441
A bit more

>>11689436
If you know that much about morale/fatigue, why are you still asking?

>>11689422
I was under the impression that the anon I was responding to was suggesting that as a possible way to flesh out mechanics, not claiming that it would be in the game.

Are you retarded, or just retarded?

>>11689428
>>11689436
the notification is a kind of replacement for the flashing mamiya icon, so 'low morale' isn't entirely correct.
i don't know any better terminologies to call them, feel free to suggest better terminologies if you have any.

>>11689437
Stalls for a second and then says it has stopped working, Problem signature: CLR20r3 blah blah blah. And yes, I went back to using my api link in flash projector instead of logging in with VPN.

Dunno what else to try, maybe something will come to me, or maybe it's just Windows 7 (which seems really weird given that the regular link works).

<value>http://x.x.x.x/kcs/mainD2.swf?api_token=x&api_starttime=x</value>
is what yours looks like, right?

>>11689454
Yeah that's what my link looks like. I guess it's some compatibility issue. That sucks.

FINALLY I managed to move that information section in kancolleviewer to the side

Man that took way too long because I'm not a really smart person

>>11689461
so many carriers wow

>>11689463
Yeah, I'm grinding Yuudachi and Hibiki at 3-2.

With 4 carrier, I usually get perfect S, so I thought why not

>>11689463
Probably a grinding team. The more carriers, the merrier, especially when you're grinding them in addition to the DDs.

>>11689389
They certainly have a lot of ways to freshen the game, though they usually save these for new maps and events. 5-4 will probably have its own gimmick, I'm personally hoping for mine combat.

>>11689461

Most crossboarders aren't.

>>11689471
>3-2
Why the fighters then

>>11689461
Here's the viewer: https://mega.co.nz/#!1I1xxDgY!c186akbgYkQEk2Sh4V7mYh1CK0RPO41KALcOUOq0LAc

My horizontal viewer has much more files compared to this one >>11689025
(I'm not sure why this one only have few files in it, but I can't be fucked to do it at this point)

Also here's the source code if anyone interested to reduce the file number thingy https://mega.co.nz/#!4AdXzBbL!c64eLh68wJjyRaVeAfBODEtGQq4PE-T--_jBV1v7ZWg

>>11689487
... That's actually a good point, but then again, I'm too lazy to go to equipment page just to remove and add different plane

>>11689454
>>11689460
Actually, I'm pretty dumb. Even if it won't work in the config file, I can just paste it in the address bar after opening it with the original link.

>>11689492
thanks for the source code, mind if i add it to my repo?

the >>11689025
is on release build config (dependencies moved to lib folder and cleaned up). i'm autistic about these kind of things.

>>11689502
Hmm, I tried compiling the release version, but I got something exactly the same as my debug folder. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Wait, are you the owner of that english version of kancolleviewer? Also yes, please go ahead and add it.

>>11689516

Only if you're retarded, like most people in this thread.

Late to the party, but KancolleViewer is not Windows 7 compatible?

>>11689516
I'm using win7, not sure if it's because of my OS, but see >>11689500

>>11689502
Also if you don't mind, can you explain to me about how you do release build + moving all dependencies to lib folder + the cleanup?

Has Kancolle used up every single ship in the Japanese Navy yet? If not, how many are left?

>>11689534
lots of smaller ships and submarines aren't in the game yet, just look it up on wikipedia and count yourself.

>>11689545

Don't tell me what to do. I'll do whatever the FUCK I want.

>>11689558
seems you don't really want to know it, then

>>11689561

Just get out of this thread. It's obvious you're one of those elitist /jp/-only faggots who doesn't want to help anyone.

>>11689510
by default, the difference between debug and release config build is small (release config has optimize code option on).

>>11689527
http://pastebin.com/dW9wmn4s

>>11689567
Ooh, I was not aware of this pastebin presence. Thanks!

I'll try it in my own time (or alternatively, I could just wait for you to release the reduced file version + you have the nice icon)

>>11689516
works perfectly without changing anything as long as you have .NET framework 4.5

>>11689562
/jp/ is for /jp/sies nerd

>>11689575

What the fuck are you going to do about it? Are you gonna kick me off the board? Yeah, no. I will come here when I like and you can't stop me.

>>11689534
They are actually quite far from exhausting all Japanese ships. There are several ship types that haven't been introduced, such as coastal defense vessels, submarine tenders, supply ships, minelayers and auxiliary carriers. These were probably not included because their direct combat capacities are limited, but coastal defense vessels are confirmed to be in the works, so the others too might be in the future. Also, the game very roughly follows the order in which the ships have been built, and "newer" ships (e.g. the remainder of the Kagero- and Yugumo-class and the missing Akizuki-class for DDs; Sakawa, Oyodo and Katori-class for CLs; Unryu-class, Taiho, Ibuki and Shinano for carriers) are yet to be included. In addition, a number of old battleships (Settsu, Shikishima, Fuji, Mikasa) were afloat at the time (but didn't see any military action, except very briefly by Settsu) and a couple of obsolete armored cruisers were refitted for the war (Tokiwa, Yakumo, Izumo and Iwate). As mentioned previously there are also a lot of unimplemented submarines.

And that's without going into the paper design territory, where the likes of Kii-class, Amagi-class, Tosa and Super Yamato can be found.

>>11689580
As a big fan of carriers in the game. I'm excited for Unryuu-class. Konishi already has enough kanmusu already, so I'm hoping that Shibafu is gonna be the illustrator for them.

YES! Fucking finally. I was going for a sub, though, but that worked.

>>11689635
nice epic meme and GET post, crossiebro

>>11689644

HOLY SHIT

DOBBELS

>finally got into the game yesterday
>get Tatsuta and Jintsuu in the tutorial
>get Kongou and Kiso on the second try
Is this the beginner's luck or what?

>>11689684
Beginner's luck is first try nagato/cranes.

>>11689684
Only Kongou is beginner's luck.

Now please read the OP
>To non-/jp/-regulars: /jp/ has its own standards for posting. It would be greatly appreciated if you could follow them. These include, but are not limited to discouraging the use of most emoticons and proper use of the quoting function (don't use it for bullet points: greentexting).

>>11689686
who are crane sisters?

>>11689698
Shokaku and Zuikaku.

>>11689686
That is true, but I would be content with getting all those quest-related light cruisers for now.
>>11689688
My bad.

Don't celebrate too soon. You might find yourself getting nothing but Naka for the next few weeks.

I already got some; she's good modernization fodder.

>>11689713

She's shit. Don't argue this, because you are wrong.

So apparently all-ship sparkle still doesn't guarantee big success?

>>11689688
Just because we get a kick out of asking people who they're quoting doesn't mean it's actually discouraged.

>>11689750

No, idiot? Are you the only one who didn't know this?
