Scuttle yourself abyss scum

>>11907430
No, you scuttle yourself, human scum

Poor Henderson-chan

>>11907430

Leave them alone, they're just lonely after the event and have no one to spend time with.

I'd be perfectly fine spending all my time with them. Every day. For the rest of my life.

So in what way do dev mats affect LSC? Does 100 make rare ships more likely or change the drop pool completely?

>>11907436
>>11907439
Since when did the abyss recruit so many Johnny Deeps?

Abyss ships are just paid stuntwomen. When they 'sink' they play dead. Like movie actors.

Why else do you think you always encounter the same fleets in the same nodes? Or the same boss multiple times?

So when one of them does play the event boss, she is basically unemployed when the event ends. Of course she'd be fucking lonely.

I wanna marry an abyss

>>11907436
>>11907439
>>11907447
>>11907452
Since when we suddenly have Abyss supporter?

>>11907461
The abyss are recruiting. It looks like they'll be on equal grounds in strategy as well now rather than just bruteforcing us.

>>11907461

This OP image though, couldn't you have used a better one?

>>11907461
Wo will be the flagship of my heart.

>>11907470
What's wrong with it?

>>11907470
How? By using Futaba's flashy red-yellow picture like in their OP?

>>11907461
Wo always had a large following.

>>11907470
Better than your shipfu's.

>>11907475
It's a meme pic. Don't do this. It's generally really forced by now and makes us look more retarded than funny as a result.

>>11907486
Who gives a fuck.

>>11907475
It's a forced and an overused meme, it's already sickening at this point.

>>11907485
Those are still better than shitty overused memes. As long as the art isn't horrible.

>>11907488
It's not even that old.

>>11907443
>Johnny Deep
Every time.

Next maintenance tomorrow is only for Yokosuka server, right?

>>11907493
the update we are waiting for appears to be on the 26th.

>>11907496
What kind of update are we waiting for?

>>11907496
Other servers will be online tomorrow? I'm one click away from sending 24-hour expedition.

Nagato really grew on me in the few days I spent with her.

>>11907499
Are you also spending time with her sister?

>>11907461
Wos are qt are they are just defending themselves.
Why do you think you are always playing as the aggressors?

Shimakaze/Wo special feeling when?

Why does this game start throwing rare ships at me when I don't feel like playing much?

>>11907503
It knows...

>>11907503
RNG's tactic to keep you from quitting this game...

>>11907497
Jitsuu kai ni and 5-4.

>>11907490
Overused, forced, sickening, and shitty do not mean old.

>>11907539
Why are you so mad over this? I am also a loveless virgin but I like that guy for being so unabashed about his love.

>>11907539
Overused would however imply that it already was used for some time.

>>11907543
I don't know man, maybe I used the word 'overused' twice because it meant something.
Maybe I've seen it everywhere or some shit until it got 'sickening' to look at another one.
Like seeing your favourite artist who never does these kind of things suddenly jumping onto the bandwagon kind of felt 'forced'.
How it came out to be sounded pretty 'shitty' as well, just because a girl is probably camera shy and some people thought it was cute or adorable.

I took the bait.

>>11907553
You're so bitter anon, how about a cup of sweet tea to calm your autism.

Why does Shigure have dark circles below her eyes before her Kai-2?

>>11907567
She cries too much. After Kai2, she finally accepts her solitary life.

>>11907511
5-4 is less confirmed, yet until now.

'll expect they'll be on different maintenance. Jintsuu K-2 may come as soon as tomorrow.

>>11907486
>>11907488
Heh. Took me some time to find the exact name of this meme.
http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/special-feeling-特別な気分

>>11907553
Perhaps you should go outside and bask in the sunlight, breathing in some fresh air instead of getting needlessly worked up over how a small thing that people found cute is 'overused', 'sickening' and 'forced.

>>11907567
Maybe she always had trouble sleeping and having a nightmare of her sunk friends

>>11907567
After K-2, she is not alone anymore

>>11907490
>>11907539
It's not even 2 weeks old. Memes are typically the most used early on before their use peters out.

That feeling when you thought you loved that one shipdaughter the most but now can't bring yourself to click the marriage button. Why am I so worthless of my shipdaughters?
How do you stop being a kuso teitoku?

>>11907582
He plainly just doesn't like it because that person is a riajuu with girlfriend.

As simple as that.

>>11907580
>no Samidare
>no Suzukaze

>>11907501
I don't have her yet. Lvl 98 ttk, got Nagato only a few days ago. No trace of her sister.

>>11907582
For me, it overstayed it's welcome in the first couple of days because of how much it was spammed. Might be because I never found it funny in the first place, so instead of going from funny to annoying, it went from slightly annoying to very annoying.

But unlike >>11907486, I'm not some nerd who gets mad over pictures.

>>11907603
Lvl 92. No Nagato but have her sister

>>11907591
Just treat it as something other than a marriage button.

As simple as that.

>>11907591
I can't make up my mind either. I have one specific ship that I want to make happy, but she's one of the most useless ships in the game stat wise, has basically no fan-art, very few in-game lines and no hourly notifications, so if I pick her, that means choosing away having a ship waifu I can use in my main fleet and who I can enjoy doujinshi and pictures of.

>>11907639
Maybe the devs will throw her some updates if enough people choose her?

>>11907643
I don't think a lot of people will choose her. Judging by the amount of fanart of them, it seems like her whole class of ships is just forgotten.

>>11907656
Who is it?

>>11907656
Why choose Myoukou class?

>>11907656
Hatsuharu-class? Ayanami-class?

>>11907659
9th Mutsuki-class destroyer, Kikuzuki.

>>11907667
Exactly.

>>11907664
Who?

>>11907664
>>11907669
What made you love her?

>>11907670
It's a Mutsuki-class that isn't Mutsuki or Kisaragi, you definitely feel something towards them somehow.

This shit is hilarious and if you get bored of wildly different variations on the same picture after a week and a half, it's fucking amazing that you're willing to sit through the Kancolle grind at all because it's infinitely more repetitive.

>>11907591
Neither of you are (presumably) going anywhere, so wait as long as you like.

>>11907683
But she isn't even cute.

>>11907664
GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY WAI-

MY DAUGHTER

>>11907670
I like white/gray-haired characters, and she was one of the earliest ships I got, so I used her for a while in my earliest fleet, and grew to like her for her combat lines, particularly the way she sometimes says 運が悪かった really coldly when firing at an enemy. I thought she was kinda badass, while still being really cute, and ended up giving her a permanent spot on my destroyer fleet, even though there were better options stat wise.

That was all, until the marriage event came along and I had no clue who to pick, so I listened through the confession responses for all the ships I had an eye on, and came upon her line.
http://www51.atpages.jp/kancollev/kcplayer.php?c=30v24&fp=1

It made me realize that behind her cold attitude focused on combat, there's a girl who is afraid of being separated from the commander she grew so attached to throughout all those missions. Her sinking line (no. 22) really breaks my heart too.

I just want to hold her and reassure her that I'll always be there for her.

>>11907704
I like your dedication

>>11907704
You are a good T.

>>11907704
I like her somewhat refreshing grim demeanour.

It's a shame Mutsuki-class was obsolete during the war, and thus not likely to get more than art updates unless power creep really sets in.

>>11907704
Just marry her already.

>>11907704
>>11907705
Scratch that, you're more dedicated than me by far. Which was obvious to begin with, since mine's only level seventy.

Well, follow your heart.

>>11907727
>>11907718
I got a long way to go, though.

>>11907735
I lied to you. She's only level 53. I didn't want to look stupid in front of you.

Race you there.

>>11907735
>>11907739
Ah youth...

>>11907735
That's not far. 100-150 is far, 33-99 is like a weeks work.

>>11907735
Go murder subs with her and she'll grow quite fast.

>>11907743
I don't like having her watch assorted capital ships pound 3-2-A into powder from the flagship spot. She gets all her experience either leading a destroyer squadron, as an actual fleet escort, or through PvP.

How the hell can poi crit a flagship TA BB for 90 damage in day battle? Ok, T adv, but still.

>>11907749
5-1 or 5-2 sub killing works for me.

>>11907760
Poi can outdamage light cruisers in the shelling phase. She's the best in day battles!

>>11907749
Send a destroyer fleet to 4-2.

>>11907749
Assuming you have some other strong ships you want to level, you can go to 4-3 and do up to 3 nodes if you play your cards right. Just make sure she does the highest amount of damage against submarines and she'll be able to get the MVP on her own.

>>11907664
Worst Mutsuki.
She is the only mutsuki that I scrapped her on arrival. Cant let her corrupt other mutsukis.

Good news for you that destroyer is the 2nd easiest class to lvl after CLT. Easy to setup MVP and cheap to resupply. You can easily spam 5-1 for the whole day and your fuel/ammo would still be alright.

>>11907780
You know that CLs have a higher ASW, longer range and only slightly higher consumption right?

5 hours of 2-3 farm for dailies, reached boss node 2 times before the boss kill quest unlocked, 3 times after.
What the hell is happening, never had to spam this map for so long.

>>11907790
do they really have a higher ASW?

Not counting Yuubari

>>11907790
Pretty much just consumption difference. The range doesnt matter since all of them will get 1shot off unless you get the 4subs spawn and somehow everyone died before your flagship turn. If you put 3xsonar on your flagship and then 1xsonar+1radar on the other 5ships. Even if she is lvl20 with shit ASW stats, she is still going to get MVP unless she miss.

Is there some trick to 5-1 farming? I went with 6 DD but got redirected like 3 out of 10 sortie to the BB/CA node and got rekt, unless there's some formation requirement i don't see how you can avoid that other than pressing F5.

>>11907797
Yes, when max DDs have 59 base on average and CLs have 79 on average. There are exceptions though. Only exception is Bep (74) having a higher base ASW than Tenryuu sisters (69).

>>11907800
All the easier to sink gold subs during T disadvantage. It's just a slight advantage, but an advantage is an advantage.

>>11907809
Just F5 when you get directed to the wrong node.

>>11907813
what about fatigue?

>>11907813
Bleh, I meant that Bep having higher base ASW than Tenryuu sisters is the only exception to CLs having higher ASW than DDs. Exceptions to average ASW is a different matter.

>>11907813
Yuubari is the only one that has this advantage though.
I can put 4xsonar on her and 2+1 on the rest. Can easily S rank it without tagging a BB along for the ride.

>>11907815
There is no fatigue when you solo.

>>11907813
why are you comparing the stats for max-leveled ships? The purpose for using them was to level them in the first place. Besides, even the difference between 59 and 79 is what? 4 damage?

>>11907815
Can't do much about it I guess.

>>11907820
With 3 sonars on a DD I usually have no problem oneshotting gold subs in line aboob as long as I don't get T'd. On a CL I'm slightly more confident in doing the same even if I get T'd. There's this extra chance. Yuubari is an outlier here though, I must say.

>>11907823
>solo
What?

>>11907823
wait, go solo on 5-1 subs node?

>>11907828
>>11907826
Go try it.
You wont win all the time but it works.

>>11907815
A good opportunity to bring out that stockpile of buckets that you're never going to deplete.

>>11907830
I'll try it now.. does kcv have shortcut key for refresh?

>>11907831
I only have 100 bucket left thanks for farming uzuki but still not getting her

>>11907830
When you got diverted and have to F5, you'll get fatigue. You lose and you'll get fatigue
I don't see how this is good.

>>11907826
Is 3 piece of ASW gear absolutely necessary for gold subs? Main thing I like about Yubari is that she can carry two pieces of ASW and still be able to rape faces at night.

>>11907835
But Yuubaris strength is somewhere completely different.

>>11907833
You bucket when you lose. I guess you can dual it and rotate with another ship if you dont want to tank your win rate. It works. Same concept with 5-3 sub grind.

>>11907825
If there's a gap, there's a gap.

>>11907830
I don't like losing any more than I have to. Nah, I'll stick with full fleet.

>>11907835
You got T advantage didn't you?

which should I prioritize?

Depth charge or Sonar for that 5-1 solo, just tried it with 2 93sonar and a type3.. 2damage on the subs but the exp is good.

>>11907853
horizontal?

>>11907853
2depth charge 1 sonar

>>11907853
>2 93sonar and a type3
>2damage
What have you been doing?

>>11907853
Start up your makigumo farm. The rate for type3 is abysmal. I have never crafted one before in my kancolle career.
50% penguin and maybe 2% success rate from the db I think.

>>11907768
I haven't gotten over 3-4 yet because all my ships are terrible.

>>11907770
>>11907772
I usually go with these. It is a pain when someone gets crit and goes home but that's life.

>>11907863
solo with akatsuki lvl 40

>>11907864
I'll just have to remodel more of them then, had about 7 mkgm because she's too cute to be fodder.

>>11907871
If you are soloing, damage doesnt matter.
Go full turbine and get the B rank.

>>11907864
10/10/10/20 has given me no fewer than 9 type 3 sonars. I have never farmed a single Makigumo or other rare DD.

>>11907870
Welp, no choice but to 4-3 then. DD flagship and 5 filler.

>>11907874
>turbine

>>11907879
That's shocking how many type 93's for each type 3?

>>11907918
Around 1:1 ratio. Never really checked.

Someone actually giving a shit about Nagara class ships, that's rare.

>>11907925
Well, it's not that they're bad, the only reason I don't keep them is because their art has major fuck-ups.

>>11907925
There are people out there marrying even Ashigara and myoukou class. You shouldnt be surprised.

>>11907934
but nobody will ever marry oboro

>>11907934
Why are Ashigara and myoukou class so unpopular.

>>11907939
They're neither hilariously bad nor particularly useful, so no one pays attention to them.

>>11907939
They drop too frequently and have no particular perks.

>>11907939
Racism and too old.

>>11907939
Ashigara shows up a lot in joke manga, alternately playing battle freak and christmas cake. Nachi is used when you need someone astoundingly dense.

I've never seen anyone do anything with Nagara.

>>11907949
Lolicons are diseased.

>>11907953
You don't have to fuck them, you know.

>>11907955
You marry lolis, same shit.

>>11907958
Marriage (Placeholder)

>>11907955
You can't fuck them even, they are giant ships.

>>11907964
Not with that attitude.

>>11907964
How do they fit into your office then, retard

>>11907991
It's more like a harbor.

>>11907997
No it's not
It's clearly a human sized room with desks/chairs/kotatsu etc.
The kotatsu even implies that the ship girls are human sized.

>>11908000
The best identifier for that would be that one item that places a uniform on the floor, assumed to be Junyou's.

>>11907964
As of the newest update, they gave you a futon bed with 2pillows. It is time for acceptance.

>>11907952
I've seen Nagara portrayed as an avid track runner and general sports/fitness person.

So, no Taihou club how many tries are you at? 29 here.

>>11908158
I don't keep track. It would only make it more depressing.

>>11908158
Today will be attempt #10 using 3.5/3.5/6/6/20. What have you been using?

You should never lose hope.

>>11908202
I lost hope when I got 4 Maruyu's in a row from Yamato recipes.

>>11908207
Better than the twentieth Kongou-class.

>>11908195
For the most part 4/2/5/5.2, 4/3.5/6.01/6 and some other popular ones.
>>11908202
Thanks mate.

>>11908215
Kongou sisters at least have a higher % than Yamato, I wouldn't feel like I've been luck screwed so hard by being "lucky" if it was them instead.

>>11908202
Thank you, and may RNG have mercy of me.

>>11908158
27 probably. I stopped counting.

>>11908202
Its too late, I already lost hope and gave up on LSC.

Getting close to 30k~ average resources, aiming for 50k before midway gets here.

>>11908158
Got her using 3.5/3.5/6/6/1 on my 7th attempt, was trying to kill two birds with one stone and get Zuihou at the same time.

Still no Zuihou though, after doing around 50 300/300/600/600.

>>11908202
I can't believe Kaga has a lower chance than Taihou, yet I managed to craft 8 of her. I got the last one yesterday. Taihou, of course, is nowhere to be seen.

>>11908226
>1 devmat

IS there a maintenance in like ~6hours?

Is there a way to get rid of the KCV region cookie?

Highest % chance.

>>11908240
You're clinically retarded

>>11908240
And we all know that was atroll nip

>>11908237
Why would you want to?

>>11908249
I assumed it was just some "miracle recipe"

People always dismiss the 1 devmat recipes as an obvious ruse, but is there any evidence that 20 or 100 gives appreciably different results? I'm sure it's not 50% or whatever the charts used to report, but has 1 ever been given a fair number of rolls? People have just been using 20 in all variations from day one because muh Taihou.

>>11908266
As far as I remember, the devs said on twitter that it increases the chance on getting better ships. I don't have a quote though

>>11908266
I'm disappointed 100 turned out to be just a scam.

>>11908266
apparently, that guy >>11908226
got Taihou in 7 tries.
That's less than my 11 tries with more devkits

>>11908272
I wodner why they put that option in if they weren't going to make use of it. Even tricking their users into wasting their devkits doesn't seem like the devs at all.

>>11908273
RNG is still RNG though, 20 probably has a higher % chance and there's no reason to not use at least 20 unless you're struggling with devmats.

>>11908266
>but has 1 ever been given a fair number of rolls?

For Taihou/Yamato recipes? No.


>but is there any evidence that 20 or 100 gives appreciably different results?

There seems to be a difference, but not a big one.

>>11908276
you also have the option to use 999/999/999/999

>>11908278
true, but with the apparently pretty small difference between 20 and 100 devkits I think it might be possible that there also isn't much of a difference between 1 and 20 devkits. Not going to test it myself, though.

There's just _no_ way 20/60/10/100 beats the M recipe, in 100 crafts I got 2 three stars.

>>11908292
I got way more holos in 100 tries, your RNG seed was just garbage

>>11908292
is that your rate with the M recipe?

>>11908300
No with the new flavour of the month recipe.
>>11908299
Y-you too.
What was your flagship?

>>11908303
flagship doesn't matter
I used Kaga or Shoukaku or Chitose Kai 2 whoever was leading my farm fleet

And it's not a flavor recipe you disgrace to thought.

>>11908303
20/60/10/100 isn't a new recipe, and I get more than 2% 3 star planes with it.

>>11908303
Does flagship really matter? I haven't got a single Suisei12A in 6 months, but I usually get one Ryuusei kai or Reppuu in every ~10 tries.

>>11908313
I haven't gotten a Reppu since November. Got plenty of 12A and RyuKais

>>11908313
>>11908314
Since November I have gotten plenty of 12A and Reppu but only 1 RyuKai.

What about 50/60/30/100?

>>11908318
What about it?

>>11908325
craft more planes

>>11908313
>>11908314
>>11908316
Well, I'm glad that the circle is complete but how can we escape from it?

>>11908314
I share your pain. I have more 12A and Ryuusei/Kai than I can even put to use. Even if I fielded a full carrier fleet I'd have plenty left over. Meanwhile, 1 Reppu and 2 Shiden K2. Send help.

>>11908328
Craft Taihou and Kai her.

>>11908328
My results are more balanced than that.
5 reppus, 4 12A, 3 Ryuusei kai, 9 Ryuusei and 3 shiden kai 2.

I wish I had a bunch of Ryuusei/12A like you to fill my planes with.

>>11908322
If I have a general lack of holos, is that recipe good?

>>11908335
You won't be getting any yellows with it and you're wasting 20-30 fuel I think.

Here is something I copied from an old /jp/ thread which has prooved true to me thus far:

fuel is always 20
ammo is dictated by wether you want blue planes
30 for non blue
60 to include blue
steel 10
bauxite depends on type
catch all 110
eliminate saiun 100
eliminate ryuusei kai / ryuusei 90 ( also needs 60 ammo )
eliminate all but suisei 12A 40 but high penguin rate

Got my second Hachi off 250/30/200/30, the common recipe.

I tried 250/130/200/30 for a while with no results.

For people that care about times, I got the first one at 05:51:25 a. m. and the second one at 05:07:39 a.m.

>>11908340
I have a general lack of holos but I have 3 saiun...

>>11908339
You forgot the timezone

>>11908343

The times are in JST.

>>11908339
Enjoy twice the bootleg.

>>11908344
Then your recipe would probably best be 20/60/10/100 - this way you include all the holos except for Saiun, as far as planes are concerned.

>>11908339
For 150+ tries I haven't got a single sub with any recipe (mostly the default)
and now I got an Imuya and a Hachi from 250/130/200/30 in the daily 4 tries.

>>11908325
Just wanted to note that, as the guy who can't get Reppus, I've been using mainly Akagi and Zuikaku as Flagships.

I was going to use 50/60/30/120, while picking a random recipe from the list due to forgetting what the flavor of the month choice was.

But I accidentally mixed things up as 50/30/60/120. Which has been magical for me. From never having had a reppu, I got 4 in a week of doing between 4 and 6 crafts a day.

Don't know if it is Taihou paying back her LSC fees though. Because I have her as my secretary.

>>11908328
Using Taihou for daily crafting using miracle recipe works well enough for me,6 Shiden K2 and 4 Reppu in around a month.
T level 98,Taihou Lv81

>>11908202
I did one 3500/3500/6000/6000/1 and got Akagi.

One of my practice opponents has Musashi, Yamato, Nagato, Mutsu, Kongou Kai-2, and Hiei Kai-2 as his fleet. Someone really hates resources.

Looks like no maintenance today

what a dick

>>11908627
It's almost refreshing how obviously dickish that setup is.

is there a lottery on maintenance days usually?

>>11908777
No

>>11908462
Same here.
Taihou spits out green like candies. Have double of it compare to combined S12A and RKai.

>>11908829
"明日は水曜日ですが新規着任サーバ開放、実施予定です。"

Doesn't that mean they plan to open a new server tonighit?

>>11908846
No she gives me nothing but 12as

She keeps reppus and ryuuseis to herself

>>11908865
If you want, you can try 21/60/20/100. I got 2 Reppus in 2 weeks doing my dailies and in the same span of time, I got 5 Ryuuseis and 1 Suisei 12A. Though its rate for one star planes is somewhat high too. I kept getting Type 99 bombers in between crafts or a Zuiun. Flagship is Zuikaku and T-level is 75

>>11908627
who are you quoting

>>11908869
I gave up on reppus in normal plane crafts because all I get is 12a

Did 20/20/251/250 and got radars and reppus instead

Will continue radar reppu combination once devkits hit 200 in 3 weeks. I absolutely love the radars. They are the new in-thing for fatigue farming at 3-2a. That +8 on type32surface is some godsend, and type 14's are still the best accessory after all

I highly doubt midway would allow for anything beyond 3 reppu 12a on CV's due to the "bauxite-heavy nature" of the event so I'm fine with my 5-6 RS-K and 12a's

>>11908883
Did you use CVs for radars too? I kept using BBs using and using 10/10/251/250 and so far only 1 type 14 and type 33. I might as well need radars as I think it would really help the 3 reppus and 2 N1K-Js that I have to weather down enemy planes or even new enemy planes for Midway.

>>11908883
I've been sporadically trying to do planes + radars, but I can't afford to spend loads of steel on radar. What bugs me is according to wikiwiki either BBs or CVs will get you either type of radar, but so far I've only gotten AA radars, while way back when I was foolishly trying to combine 46cm with radar (not knowing then it doesn't give the best radars) using BB flagship I only ever got surface radars.

>>11908921
I've gotten more surface32s from CV's than BB's, and the blog results of the akatsuki-TTK yielded much higher type14's so I guess it's a crapshoot. I did get higher than average reppus in my rolls so I guess that's nice

I'd say the main appeal of CV radar crafting is the reppu-isolation. No sub-standard shiden2 or extra RS-K's that will only have a place in 3-2a farm, and 12a's are 1-offs

10/10 gives nothing special with BB's, while 20/20 gives you reppu-isolation using CV's. I personally think it's a landslide for 20/20

Fucking 5-3; I managed to make it to the boss for the last kill only to discover that a single sonar on each DD (+ring formation) won't suffice for a flagship Yo like it did for the flagship Ka. So I fill my flagship with sonars, eventually make it back to boss, get green T, my flagship goes first and fucking MISSES. I eventually sank the sub but couldn't finish off the gold CL that got left at 1hp and wasted my night combat attacks.

I suppose that's what I get for having Mochizuki as the flagship of my heart, she probably got bored and fell asleep as soon as the night battles finished.

New-ish admiral here,
I find myself low on steel all the time. Like, it's the only resource I ever run out of. Everything else is abundant, enough for LSC even.

Where should I go for more steel? The FAQ on the Wiki barely gives anything worthwhile.

>>11908957
Spam the fuck out of expedition 3 while you're playing. Unfortunately nothing else really compares to it for steel generation, if you have a spare sub you can run #20 as well, also #17 for a less efficient version of #3 if you can't be bothered to check back every 20 minutes.

>>11908965
Thanks mate. I'll run both 3 and 17, I guess. I have 2 spare fleets so might as well.

>>11908957
Expeditions 2, 3, 17 and 20 are useful for steel, you can also use 12, 14 and 35 overnight. But generally you should just play at your leisure, you're probably just burning steel very rapidly because you're advancing through the maps. Once you slow down a bit and start grinding levels in 3-2 and PvP instead of trading blows with new maps, your steel usage will go down substantially.

>>11908968
At the moment yeah, trying to clear 2-4. Nearly got a fully remodeled fleet. It's making me burn through steel relatively quick.

>>11908957
Bullets should be the only resource that is hard to come by later, take my word for it

>>11908990
>Bullets should be the only resource that is hard to come by later
What. You can make around 6-7k a day without natural regen.

>>11908957
Tough it out until you get to 4-2.
I also scrapped every BB drop that I get.

>>11908990

But copper is the hardest to get.

>>11908994
I always found energy the hardest to farm. My ships are always listless after a 4-4 weekly sortie.

Tell me I have shit taste all you want, but looking at the cards in this game I can't say I like any of the cutesy cards you can use, but I love the enemy cards. Sucks you can't play them.

Best place to level subs? I haven't unlocked world 3 yet...

>>11909009

Then go beat 2-4 before doing anything.
That should be your top priority

>>11909009
Run 2-4 with your subs until you beat it, problem solved.

The only danger to subs on all of 2-4 (aside from green T that can fuck you over on any map) is the 1/3 chance of line aboob at first node, after that it's clear sailing.

Remember those google polls? I Guess It's SEA/American posting time now.

>>11909116
As a SEAfag, I am insulted. Don't put us in the same level as those murrikans.

>>11908957
Expedition 3 and 17. 12 and 16 when you go to sleep or away for a long period of time. There are shorter time ones for about the same metal but 12 and 16 give you some other useful stuff too.

I'm a new-ish admiral too and I managed to recover from pretty hefty LSC crafts back to the same amount of resources pretty quickly. Not that I should be doing LSC but my eyes were bigger than my stomach and I tried jumping from being able to steadily jog to ultramarathon races.

I learned my lesson when I ran out of dev materials and went back to the good old rare dd/bb recipes. Don't do what I did.

>>11909116
dont compare me with those willies, I'm an superior australian who can drink beer like water

Funny that the type of faggots who crossboard to /jp/ and start /int/ shit could think they are superior to anyone.

No maintenance today?

>>11909198
Just on Yokosuka server.

>>11909201
Thanks T-san.

Is it normal for carriers to miss frequently at 5-2? If not, I guess I have quite a bit of leveling to do before midway.

>>11909220
Its probably due to their diamond formation

I have no fucking words.

>>11909243
Why are you upset?
Fortune favors the brave.

>>11909243
Like he'll have the resources to actually field her

She will destroy his gains so hard

>>11909245
I got mine long ago after nearly 40 painful tries back when the recipes weren't confirmed. I just think it's ridiculous coincidence that someone so low level gets her on his first attempt. No offense to him though, he's quite brave.

>>11909247
Taihou is a reward best-in-class

Yamato is a resource deathpact or expensive secretary

>>11909253
Yamato technically is best in class too though.

It's just being the best battleship isn't comparable to being the best carrier.

>>11909247
LSC isnt that expensive anymore after they confirmed the recipe.

>>11909247
>>11909245
>brave

What part of this is brave? He didn't even use 100 dev mats.

>>11909259

The only problem is getting enough dev mats to craft daily without running out so often.

>>11909260
He is lvl33.
He doesnt have 4kongou.
I bet he is still stuck with kusou class. I don't think most newb will even attempt LSC at that point.

>>11909259
>after they confirmed the recipe.
What?

>>11909267
Seems more like naivete than bravery.

I did the same thing only was 31 when I did my first LSC though granted I had my 4th fleet by then.

Wish I could be as lucky as this guy though.

>>11909258
Tragic matters usually get a lot of love from the devs, being a "what could have been" scenario

In that vein Taihou is amazing, and Shinano will probably be a real monster

>>11909283
Ten-go was more tragic than sinking from being buttblasted.

>>11909285
Buttblasted by a sub? You try topping that

>>11909283
Historically Taihou is viewed as a well designed carrier. It is not her fault she has an incompetence crew and a kuso teitoku at the helm with outdated planes.

>>11909285
"Alright, let's storm the enemy with all kamikaze power we have! Nippon banzai!"
Sure.

>>11909267
>I don't think most newb will even attempt LSC at that point.
I'm lvl28 and I've done 4 LSC recipes so far. I'm the 4 Maruyu in a row from Yamato recipes guy. I swore off LSC until I get more fleets.

I did get both Kongou sisters from drops and a Mutsu on my third BB recipe though. First two were obviously both Fusou sisters. So I've had my fair share of luck so I can't complain too much.

>>11909259
What are those recipes for?
Sorry, just started playing a few weeks ago, still learning and reading new things from the wiki.

>>11909295
...the names of the ships are directly below the recipes.

Yamato and Taihou respectively

>>11909295
Hopes and dreams. Go for the one on the right after your 4th fleet and you're camping at 3-2a

Do not touch the one on the left

>>11909298
>Do not touch the one on the left

But she longs for the touch of a human being after being docked for so long.

Wouldn't you make her feel like a woman/warship again?

They really did found his real life pic and name.
RIP

>>11909299
I don't need Big O when I already have Big Duo

There is absolutely no foreseeable need for her easily replaceable abilities right now

The ability to launch at medium and not force a quick-retreat along with the 2nd-best plane arrangement in the game behind kaga (arguably first, due to the tiniest 8-slot) gives one enough reason to actually go for Big Duo

Fuck Big O

>>11909305
Takao and Atago were drawn by the might of demacia?

>>11909292
It's tragic precisely because the pride of the old admiralty drove her and her escorts to their assured doom.

>>11909309
Who? It said right there that mikoto akemi drew them.
My sides

I was about to yell Zuikaku.. but this is good as it is.

>>11909331
how many tries?

>>11909339
this was my first craft today using the 3.5/3.5/6/6 20, been trying since the arpeggio event once a week.

>>11909305
A small update

>>11909344
You deserve her, now go get her to 70 for midway

>>11909349
>>11909305
I don't get this at all. Can someone explain this for me?

>>11909305
>>11909349
What's going on here? Artist doxxing?

>>11909358
They found dirt on the artist that drew the shiratsuyu class.

>>11909362

Wait, was this what they meant by tracing?

>>11909366
Tracing is just a small part of what he did.

>>11909362
Ohh that. I'm just puzzled that the other artists are posted as well.

>>11909349
Oh no, what happened to Wo artist?

>>11909362

Holy shit, he traced some flowers? Fucking scum.

>>11909370
KIA...

>>11909349
What does that kanji next to some artists mean

>>11909370
That's what happen when you show allegiance to the Abyss Fleet.

Death to Wo and to every disgusting Abyss!

Oh, and apparently Kongo class(also Yahagi, Yuubari, Shoukaku, and some other ship) artist is calling quits on drawing more ships for Kancolle.
Rumor has it that he took critiques on Kongo/Hiei Kai-2 pretty hard. (Much like TotalBiscuit with his channel comments I suppose.)

>>11909369

Well, that explains her looking like Yui a bit.

>>11909371

That's not tracing, that's more copy and pasting.

>>11909380
>TotalBiscuit

Who the fuck is that?

>>11909380
You're joking right?
Haruna kai 2 when..

>>11909380
Should've fixed the ears early.

>>11909369
They should remove his art and have 雨宮千遥 draw them instead, he's so fucking good dude.

>>11909386
plain DD's.

which kanmusu have the most boring design, /jp/?

>>11909386
maruyu

>>11909387
say that again, I double dare you

>>11909380
He should learn from Bob and just keep trying to improve despite nobody liking his art.

>>11909390
Christmas Naka was very cute

>>11909388
Hatsuyuki looks like Kaguya, lol.
At least those Fubuki class are drawn cutely in that manga.

>>11909380
>and some other ship
Nigga, he drew at least a quarter of the ships in the game.

>>11909389
maruyu, even her lines are boring

>>11909386
inb4 shinano design boring as fuck

>>11909390
But I like bob.

>>11909380
I guess they are rich enough now to hire pros like Fumikane. Poor konishi, I guess no140 will forever be empty now.

>>11909380
Shouldn't have experimented with the artstyle in a commercial project. I hope they'll be handed over to a better artist.

best damage art? I'd say Naka

>>11909405
I already don't like it if it's in the same style.

>>11909390
Bob is a goddamn champion. Same goes for UGUME. It's a really satisfying feeling seeing an artist improve like that, especially in the context of a game I play daily. But it's not like Konishi was a bad artist to begin with and he's so ingrained in the franchise that I wouldn't trust a rumor like that.

>>11909411
Naka kai 2

they should've asked ZUN to design ship girls, lol

>>11909380

What is with people like this that can get praise for most work, but when they screw up they can't handle the truth.

If people like dozens of your ship there is no need to worry about dislike about one ship. But that only applies to sane people.

>>11909417
>UGUME
If only he fixed Tama.

>>11909417
>>11909416
UGUME went from Minamitsu to Harlock. I guess it will takes some time for them to migrate from their touhou days to kancolle.

>>11909412
With every new image the style looks better. It's a good thing her design was leaked so early because at first I had no interest but she's started growing on me.

>>11909349
If I'm to try understand the badges beside certain artists as their current activity in drawing for kancolle, does that mean shibafu is considering stopping? What about tenryuu's artist? They both have so many ships people love.

>>11909426
doesn't help that we just have Patchy and Koakuma

>>11909427
still boring, better than the first one though

>>11909380
As someone who hasn't remodeled his kongou whom he loves due to the horrible sprite I can't even be happy about this, I really like Hiei-Kai2 and not to mention all the good work pre kai2 fuckup he did.

>>11909349
>>11909305
They really love making weird edits.

>>11909436

No, Izumoman is the real Kaguya rip-off.

What's the difference between 轟沈 and 撃沈?

撃沈 shows up over the portrait when they are sunk but does the game ever actually show 轟沈?

LOGH anime tie-in event ships

Shiranui Oberstein-Custom
ZKMS Mittermeyer-Custom

Akebono a cutie.

>>11909520
They should stop with the anime events and go with historical wars already. I don't want a Kancolle anime tie-in or an Arpeggio S2 tie-in, just give me Midway and a Russo-Japanese War event after that.

>>11909533

They've only had one though.

>Kancolle anime tie-in

How does that even work?

>>11909533
Tie-ins are good for business

Arpeggio sold a very, very healthy amount and there was a huge influx of players

Of course it's just me liking logh and being biased

>>11909544

They need a Strike Witches tie-in already. It's perfect. Kancolle girls are based on real ships, the Witches are based on real ace pilots using their respective planes.

>>11909544
Well, yeah, we're both talking about our tastes here. To each his own, I can see how anime tie-in events can be profitable.

Though I guess everyone can agree that there should be more events in general. I hope Midway is on March instead of later.

>>11909544
IIRC Madhouse didn't like crossover stuff unless it's CLAMP or Marvel shit.

>>11909547
I'll slot my fumikane planes onto my fumikane ship

>>11909549
>March
Please no, I'm still not out of the pit that's LSC

>>11909544
The problem with tie ins is that the game's been pretty boring since Ironbottom Sound. I'm not that anon but I wouldn't have a problem with it if they'd release new content faster or even not waste a quarterly event on something for beginners. At this point they've probably hit market saturation and should focus more on keeping their existing players. If they made them tough and rewarding there are some shows I'd love to see tie ins with but I'm even more interested in the historical aspect and KanColle becoming its own thing rather than riding on each other's shoulders.

>>11909558
How about weekly map with the map is adjusted with Pacific War battle on same date? And adjusted I mean, unless you put exact same ships that participated in that battle, you won't be able to get to the boss.

>>11909549
>>11909555
I hope it's as soon as possible, but that they give us 2-3 weeks notice for me to start stocking fuel.

>>11909569
I'm at 60-all, but once I hit 80-all I tend to go crazy on the development-side sometimes

Let's hope my levelled carriers and CLT's are sufficient. I honestly am terrified that BB's will somehow play a huge role. But it being midway, it's revenge-fantasy CV party time

>>11909569
more like a month.

>>11909480
轟沈 is a more 'disadvantage' word.
Ex.
we sink enemy ship : 敵艦撃沈
our ship was sunk : 我が艦轟沈
also
our ship was sunk (by enemy) :　我が艦撃沈され

>>11909574
you mean "passive"

>>11909571
I hope that BBs do play a decent role - I love my BBs, and have like 7 of them leveled enough to be useable, and have an abundance of 46cms.

On the other hand, I couldn't get Taihou, and I only have one CV above level 70.

>>11909582
Seems like he meant what he said.

>>11909497
that's Wo

>>11909584
The talk of CV-event was there since December, and even the recent chocolate being bauxite-rich was said to "be used for the next awaited event"

Maybe BB's can bruteforce through like christmas, but I have a gut-feeling we'll get bonuses for certain CV-related matters like 3-dan previously

>>11909591
Well, I'll have 80k bauxite or so by event start either way, I just hope my low levels and selection won't cripple me too much. Hiryuu, Souryuu, and Shoukaku are level 1.


But at least I have wagahai leveled for when she gets her second remodel just before midway.

CV get pretty much slow to level once I've reach over 50 doing 3-2-A.. hardly mpv the flag

>>11909599
You can kai them and fully modernized them in a day. They are pretty much the same as lvl99 CV.

>>11909600
Actually, CV 3-2a fatigue farm with best torps is one of the fastest farms currently in place

>>11909591
Bonuses for CVs with Saiun?

>>11909599
80k bauxite? Did you not use them at all or what?

>>11909605
Did I do it wrong? 3CV 3CLt,
one CV as flag and they all equiped with just blue planes.
CLt goes as usual, type A with green yellow.

Thanks

>>11909613
Huh? I'm only at ~50k now. But yeah I haven't been using carriers much, and I run expedition 6 constantly. Gave up on Taihou after about 10 craft attempts because I ran out of dev mats, and was also crafting for planes at the time. And now I'm low on fuel and ammo because I'm raising a hotel to 99.

>>11909613
Bauxite is the easiest resource to hog.
I dont even run ex6 and I am at 55k bauxite. The people that complain about bauxite are the people still stuck in the no taihou club.

>>11909633

I wouldn't mind error cats if this was the screen I am greeted with.

I've been using a strong flag + 4 dd + ss rotation for 3-2A exp, quite cheap, not one shot, but you've 100% chance at flagship MVP, and you get more exp per resource used.

>>11909633
I can only hope I get Taihou soon, I'm constantly under 10k bauxite

>>11909636
stop trying until you have over 30k res

>>11909636

Unless 10k is your resource cap, don't until you do.

>>11909633
or people who think green planes are a waste of a slot on carriers

>>11909636
craft only when you reach autoregen cap on bauxite, much safer.

>>11909639
26k actually, I craft when I have enough baux for a try every day.

>>11909636
From my own experience, I got both Taihou and Yamato when I nearing the bottom.
Keep at it.

This, your chance of rare crafts increases as your resources get lower, which is why newer admirals always end up getting things like Nagato and Zuikaku quickly.

Also, I heard doing lots of crafts just before an event compounds the bonus!

>>11909649
really? I should go crafting now

>>11909644
When I was going for her I could get one try every 1.5 days, the hardest cap for me were devkits

I've still not recovered from the devkit whirlpool

No please, this is a fucking joke, i just got Yamato from regular 4/2/5/5.2 Taihou recipe, and i already have one too, how much chance does it have, less than 1%?

>>11909656
I dont see any report of Yamato in the chart.
Were you drunk when you input the numbers?
It is a good thing anyway now you can keep 1yamato with sock and one without the sock kanji.

>>11909656

Extremely low, but at least you got Yamato unlike my end result being a Kongou from a Taihou recipe.

So fuck you.

>>11909656
It's a 46cm at least.

>>11909656
Haha oh wow, I'm not sure if you're super lucky or unlucky

>don't expect that half of them are cheap tracers

Is there a point in farming oois and ktkms to kai ni for the holo torps? Or is it too much effort for a small gain?

>>11909656
I become pretty stoic after about 40 unsuccessful Taihou attempts and now I just pop one when resources are hovering over the regen cap, but I guess that would make even me cry

>>11909656
As much chance as pic related?

>>11909688
For your subs, beaver and PTSD.

>>11909688
it's your decision if it's too much effort for a small gain

When your original torpedo monsters hit 99 and you didnt buy ring for them, your experience need to go somewhere else right? Level a few spares incase you sink one of them at moderate damage.

>>11909703
maybe this dog just posted his Api on /a/

>>11909710
He doesn't sound like he got Musashi.

>>11909703
That is just fiction.
We only believe solid facts with proof over here.

>taihou 10cm gun
Wow it is fucking nothing,.

>>11909732
only the first 3 get decent items, I'd pay to have more 53cm torpedoes

>>11909739
To get into top 3 you have to be some kind of sleepless monster

>>11909739
I want the shindens myself. Hopefully they'll make them craftable some day
