/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Is this the shitepost threaD??

Master of smiles is a best DD.

>>11979073
No.

Is akitsumaru (unremodel) can be use in expedition 36? is she count as AV? because I only have chitose and farming and crafting for her sister is pain in my butt.

Hello,
People are trying to convince me to play this game. Is it worth starting what seems like so late, since I will never catch up with the rest of the /jp/sies?

Thank you,
Why is Akatsuki so cute?

>>11979084
There're bunch of new admirals here though.

>>11979084
It's a single player game, who gives a shit.

>>11979084
If you start now you'll have time to get the hang of things before next month's event. You'll be nowhere near ready to clear it but if it's anything like the Fall event the first few maps will be super easy and offer good ships. And a lot of the game is luck based and they keep making it easier to get old ships so you could catch up faster than you think. Just remember to be patient.

>>11979084
there are always scrubs and newfags here so no matter when you start, in a month you will already be an oldfag and veteran compared to the newfags that join in a month

>>11979084
>will never catch up with
You'd be surprised how far some of the admirals who started in Dec/Jan are already. Not that it matters a ton since it's more or less a single player game.

Thank you for the input. I was under the impression there was some multi-player aspect to the game that I would be missing out on by taking it easy with my own fleet of ship daughters.
My worries have been eased.

What's being accepted as the best Bismarck recipe right now? Is it just a Yamato craft with Z1/3 flag?

HPWQPEWFJFEIJ

This guy.

>>11979115
Looks like someone's getting scrapped.

>>11979123
that would be the largest waste of 92 levels ever

but i really do want to do it

>>11979130
>akebono
>lvl92
you deserve that suffering, kuso teitoku

>>11979130
Don't listen to those people! You did nothing wrong.

>>11979130
You got her to lv 92, but didn't level any of the super DDs?

>>11979112
>What's being accepted as the best Bismarck recipe right now?

Why don't you ask him directly, he seems to be pretty open to anyone.

Is there any point in wasting res in crafting Bismarck? Aren't all the Kongous better?

>>11979179
if you have Z3 Bismarck is easy to get.

>>11979179
Kongous are better, but as of right now Bismarck is one of two ships that I'm missing in logbook (other hatsukaze). I'd like to get her, not really to use her.

>>11979134
my suffering is truly without end

>>11979145
the only mistake i made here was being born

we'll get not-married one day

>>11979149
i have a high-level hibiki and a yukikaze just above kai

>>11979179
you want to use monkeys over glorious qt blonde gaijin master race?

>>11979179
I believe she's supposed to be more tanky and resource efficient than Kongous if you ignore the AA stat. Then again, not crafting her at all would probably be more resource efficient.

>>11979187
don't we have 3-4 branching rules yet?

>>11979184
How so? I have Z1 and Z3, but it doesn't seem like Bismarck is getting any closer.

>>11979192
We do, it's all just RNG.

>>11979193
I got Bismarck right after I crafted Z3 and put her as flag with Z1 only.
but I don't have Yamato and ZUNship yet.

>>11979179

She's cute.

I feel stupid for asking this, but which ship is ZUNship?

>>11979213
Taihou

I can't decide wheather remodeling my secon fleet of subs or not.

I want to sink her, if you know what I mean

>>11979213
too many to name.
patchy and minamitsu are just two of many.

Am I the only one who keeps getting error musume when trying to start up the game? (it was working yesterday)

>>11979262
Clear cache, or get new API link, or do both.

(The one time I tried to clear 3-2 I did it. Never went S at the start or NE before boss )

First try 3-2 for the Mutsuki quest
Go SE. red cross. one Mutsuki goes orange but no problem, all four Mutsukis got repair teams
Beaver goes red and of course I didn't put a repair team because I figured a level 83 beaver could dodge one fucking attack but apparently not
pressed on to see where compass would lead me. where did it go? to the boss. and I have to F5 because the beaver went red.

I so want to scrap that useless piece of shit right now

>>11979303
Get rid of her and replace her with another mutsuki.

>>11979305
that's replacing dog shit with nuclear dog shit

>>11979310

But nuclear dog shit has the chance to mutate into something amazing.

Don't knock it till you try it.

>>11979328

Of course not, but where's the fun in that?

>>11979325
that's not how mutation works, you know

>>11979332
I don't need fun, only results

>>11979191
They are monkeys made by superior Vickers so yes.

5-5, please.

Please.

>>11979378
Try 4 BB and 2 CV instead

>>11979378
5-5 is doable, but not worth it.

>>11979386
How many run ?

>>11979414
Kongous + 2CV: 4 attempts, reach boss node once, couldn't kill the flagship;
Yamato + 2CV + 1CVL: 2 attempts, didn't reach boss node;
Yamato + 3SS: 2 attempts, reach boss node once, kill boss once

Can I marry a female admiral?

Found out that this takes foreign credit cards, so if you want to support the author and his silly Nagato and Mutsu things...

Anyone having problem with KCV not updating your fleets info immediately after changing ships, repairing, sending a fleet on expedition... ? The same goes for ships list after scraping too.

>>11979481
Yeah I had this problem with the newest version, so I'm using the previous version until that gets fixed. It was working fine at the start and it started messing up after I turned off the "change colour if ship is in critical condition", not sure if that had something to do with it or just coincidental.

>>11979084
I wouldn't listen to the rest if I were you. If you just play what's popular (among mostly 18-20 year olds) then you will miss out many other things in the process and will be nothing more than one of the kids who try to show of their stupidly expensive brands in school.

Think for yourself. What is better: being stuck with one game and lose a lot of time or use your time more constructive to learn new things and consume a lot of other media?

To stockpile or to stay at LSC.

>>11979708
Why not both?

I hate this map so much.

>>11979708
Do you want to get all the qt event girls, anon?

>>11979708

I got Bismarck, and even though I want Yamato too, I'll wait a little bit and see if they add Musashi to the pool.

>>11979713
Come on nigga, it's not that bad.

>>11979708
Not participating in the event means you'll have to get the new girls from LSC. Do you really want to bother with that?

>>11979727
But I only have 4 digit resources and 120 buckets.

>>11979728
If you start stockpiling now, you might still make it.

>>11979728
its easy done

>>11979708
LSC. 30 thousand resources will be enough right?

>>11979728
and? event is starting on April probably on their first anniversary date so you have at least 3weeks of time.
I started 3weeks before fall and still got musashi and yanagi.

>>11979734
We need a new one of that with Re-chan.

>>11979742
Yeah, I prefer her raping face more than Wo face

>>11979744

>>11979745
aww you

Requesting a Re propaganda image that pertains to Midway like this >>11979734

Wo is old and busted. wwww

>>11979750

>>11979750

I wish Re had a seiyuu.

>>11979765
I wish Re had a damage sprite.

>>11979771
I wish I had Re.

So starting from now, it's going to be:

"Re pls", "Re pls go", "Re pls go and stay go"?

>>11979774
No, it will be:

"I love you Re-chan", "Please never leave us Re-chan", "I want you to stick your tail further up my boypussy, Re-chan".

>>11979776
I see. I feel bad for Wo-tan.

Rest in pieces princess.

>>11979789
Wo is for sadists, Ta and Re are for masochists.

What do you bullies do with your Gumo farm once you're done with them?

>>11979846
Yes, it's fine.

I don't care enough about shitty sonars/radars to even level them once.

>>11979850
>best 3 star sonars
>shitty

>>11979857
You only need enough to outfit 2 ships. The rest are useless. Even with our new purely antisub map you only need 5 and 2 depth charges at most.

>>11979857
>hulktexting
>hue

>>11979861
You need 19 for 5-1

>>11979845
Blame RNG for that,all I ever ask for is a Turkey but instead got a sonar farm right after I'm done with Mikuma farm in my search of Turkey at 5-2.
Still got 3 more Naganami to go.

>>11979864
No you don't. You don't want to max everyone out on ASW, because then you can't choose MVP.

Outfit flagship with 2 sonars and type 3 depth charges, then give shitty ASW equips to the rest of your ships.

>>11979864
>>11979869
Plus you'd usually want a BBV too.

>>11979869
19 means you are bringing melon as flagship. You max everyone out so you don't have to bring shitty bbv.

No maintenance today?

>>11979874
Why the hell would you use Yuubari as flagship for 5-1? That defeats the whole point of grinding in that map, and there are far better places if you're only looking to hunt subs.

So has it been confirmed what difference a depth charge + sonar makes?
When I tried it I only noticed my ship missing more.

>>11979874
Bringing a BBV isn't necessarily a bad thing, since its good to have leveled ships of all types and doing 5-1 subs is the only real time to use a BBV otherwise.

But even ignoring that, it is in no way worth the time to level and remodel 14 extra gumos just to not have to level your BBVs.

>>11979847
What version of Flash Player(or other method of running it) are you using?

W-who stockpile here? :3

>>11979890
11.

>>11979894
Me, but I'm not doing super well. Ammo and bauxite around 50k, fuel and steel lower.

When buckets hit 600 and bauxite hits ~70k, I'll go into full steel production for a while. Fuel will be last because I'm still using reasonable amounts of it for daily pvp and sorties.

>>11979894
Are you a grill TTK?

>>11979900
Pls remember not to fall into LSC trap! Gambare!

>>11979903
I won't now that they've announced midway. A bit sad that I won't have Taihou though.

>>11979894
I'm stockpiling and made a combined total of about 35k resource in the past three days, which is pretty okay for a non-scripter I guess.

I think I'll have barely enough for Midway by the time it comes, but the big problem is fighting off the temptation to LSC away all those resources. Hold me, /jp/...

>>11979894
110k/90k/155k/60k/517 buckets.

How's that admiral-chan?

>>11979894
Working on it. I feel better now that I don't do LSC
gonna resume Taihoe and Bismarck crafts after Midway.

>>11979909
>combined total of about 35k resource in the past three days, which is pretty okay for a non-scripter I guess.
You realize that high level admirals get a "combined total" of about 100k just from their natural cap right?

>>11979909
Never ever be tempted by the LSC hell! All you need is discipline, I'm cheering for you fellow admiral-san!

Let's ace the Midway event together~

>>11979894
What happened, TTK?

Is this allowed? Having a female admiral in the navy?

>>11979914
Yeah, but I'm already way above cap. I'm also counting today, so it's going to be more like 45k in three days, which is more than natural regen can ever offer.

Of course I have to fight off the temptation to blow it all away on Bismarck tries.

>>11979917
T-thanks...!

>>11979920
If people can marry maruyus i think we can allow female TTK

>>11979920
I'm sure the ship girls wouldn't have it any other way.

Femtoku is the best teitoku.

>>11979920
Only if they're ugly as sin.

>>11979930
Stop shitposting.

Please don't bully our guest female admiral!

>>11979930
Can you please fuck off with your shitty self insert? She's not even present in the game

>>11979926
This is what every Teitoku would look like after Midway event.

How many buckets needed for Midway?

>>11979938
According to /jp/, around five thousand millions.

>>11979941
That will probably get you up to E-3, tops.

>>11979944
I come buckets anyways so I'm set.

>>11979938
50k resources, 4 BB, 6 CVL and 2 CV at level ~50, 150 buckets.

>>11979948
>150 buckets
That's for one map?

>>11979949
If Fall E4 is any indication, each big map should take a maximum of about 30k-50k resources and ~150 buckets.

So you do E1-3, gather resources for a week, do E4, gather resources, repeat.

>>11979954
>>11979948

TTK lvl61 here. Should I worry about doing E-4 and E-5? If so I should really get to leveling my BB CV and CVL to around 50.

>>11979956
Probably not worth bothering, events are stressful and that is a bare minimum, there's always a chance that you get unlucky.

Fall E4 wasn't in fact an insurmountable wall for everyone, people have reported clearing it with ~10k resources. But then there were some unlucky sods that went through 50k resources and still failed to do it.

In addition, that's just a rough guess. The event may turn out to be more sadistic than anyone expected.

>>11979956
Yes.

>>11979961
though it could also turn out to be less sadistic.
People here expected fall E-3 to be a really hard before the event started, but it turned out to be not so hard in the end, and we got an unexpected E-5 instead.

>>11979956
Just do what you can, you'll be able to get the ships after the event anyway

>>11979956
You should try, remember there's another LSC hell if you don't make it and want those ships.

>>11979961
The biggest problem is simply time. Sitting there for 10 - 15 hours at best and a few days at worst with every run slowly whittling down your resource count is tiring and stressful. There are periods of time where you make no progress and you're stuck watching your previous sink of the boss disappear.

I really hope they've realized how stupid and restrictive regenerating health bars are. I couldn't clear E-5 last time because I ended up having a medical emergency partway through that took a few days to resolve. I'd rather they massively amp up the difficulty of the maps so even if you fail to sink the boss even once over a few days, your progress at least doesn't vanish. Or just require a fuckload of sinks. There are a bunch of ways to make up for the loss of regenerating health. The Arpeggio event gave a preview with fucking carnival lasers.

>>11979969
>Or just require a fuckload of sinks.
I'd prefer this. At least you'd feel like you're making progress instead of getting wrecked right out the gate on an impossible map. And then bring back chip damage, since nothing's more frustrating that leaving a sliver of health and wasting the entire run. But regeneration does no one any favors. There's a reason why everyone abused the pre-fight dialogue exploit.

>>11979973
I'd concede the loss of chip damage if they get rid of regenerating health. Fuck that shit. I'd rather LSC for years.

>>11979969
One issue I can see with this is that the easiest way to remove gauge regeneration is to force kills to reduce the bar, as in Arpeggio maps, and getting boss kills is exceedingly difficult in event maps. Had Fall E4 or E5 required multiple clean kills instead of boss chipping followed by a single gauge break run, it would probably be harder rather than easier. I for example only ever got a single kill on E5, and two on E4, over some 50k resources spent.

I agree that regenerating gauges are irritating in and of themselves, but if they are to go, they better not take the gauge chipping mechanism with them.

Since it's supposed to be hard. What if it's regeneration + no chip damage/boss kills only

>>11979979
If this does happen, I won't even bother with the later stages of the event.

I'll just wait six months and then play the LSC roulette. Unless they come out with Super LSC that takes 5 figures instead.

>>11979978
This.
Force kill is fine for <200hp and <100ish armor, but for 500hp it would make it much harder and even more luck dependent considering that it would all come down to firing order.

>>11979984
>super LSC
/jp/ TTK makes an accurate prediction for the future.

I wish they make the Midway harder and the regeneration faster so that those fucking detestable scrubs will not complete the event.

E-4 will be the biggest wall then E-5 and E-6 will follow.

Bring it on devs my 500k and 4.2k buckets are ready.

>>11980002
fix your hand.

Why did this fail?

>>11980008
Akitsumaru not an AV.

>>11980008
I'm not sure if ZUNship is counted as AV for that one, try using ChitoChiyo

>>11980008
Because Zunship is useless shit.

What did /jp/ beat 5-2 with?

>>11980021
1BB 2CLT Akagi Kaga RJ.

RJ awesome.

>>11980022
Which in which slot? Also did you have a lot of holo planes or did you just use Suisei/Tenzan etc.?

>>11980021
BB 2CLT 2CV 1CVL

>>11980023
That's my exact arrangement from top to bottom.
Kongou, KTKM Ooi

and no, I don't have holo just all 99 on Akagi, 52 on Kaga and 97 on RJ.. still S rank

>>11980023
Which holo planes do you have?

>>11980023
In that order, otherwise you risk to get unwanted extra damage if you go night battle at boss node.
Regarding the planes equipped, i used 7 Reppu to get air superiority, other were Ryuusei Kai and Suisei 12A, but you can equip less and just win air combat, at cost of baux, but your CV/L will perform better.

>>11980030
Considering my holo plane count is as follows...

2x Reppu, 2x Shinken K2, 2 Suisei 12A, 4 Ryuusei and 1 Saiun

I think I'll fill the rest with Suisei and stick with just air superiority.

>>11980034
2 Reppu/Shiden Kai 2 + 1 Ryuusei + 1 Suisei 12A on each CV. Saiun on CVL last slot (lowest plane count), fill the rest with green planes (reduce bauxite lost) or whatever setup that you like.

I like this new pairing.

Should I try LSC? I have 17k/18k/15k/7k resources

>>11979115
>Tenryuu flagship + double line
>not Naka Kai 2 flagship + ring

What recipe should I try? Preferably one low on bauxite

>>11980138

>>11980140
I thought you were supposed to go with the most aggressive formation you can sink the sub in.

if only...

>>11980148
>>11980146
Got Kaga. My first experience with LSC has not been a good one

Over the course of 24 hours, I've gone from Maruyu only to every sub except Shioi. I'm not sure which sub I like most, but I'm leaning towards Haachan.

>>11980149
that's why you use line abreast, since it reduces the damage you get in day battle and helps you destroy the sub, the only way to kill the flag is in night battle anyway, unless you bring 2BB.

>>11980158
Torpedoes got the destroyers at sunset and I don't think that would have happened in line abreast. It just so happens that everybody chose to attack the sen hime instead.

I don't know how formation affects night battle anyway.

Is server down? I can't get in Brunei

>>11980187

3 star torpedoes when?

>>11980245
What would the historical counterpart be? Type 95 seems to be as good as it gets.

>>11980245
>>11980251
I would be happy enough if they make the quintuple 61cm torps and 53cm hull torps craftable, my subs could do with some more of those.

>>11980255

> Deploy a fleet with Choukai, Aoba, Kinugasa, Kako, Furutaka, and Tenryuu. Score a victory against World 2-3 Boss.
Somehow this quest turned to be far more difficult for me than beating 2-4 or 3-2.

>>11980297
Don't rush in immediately after getting Kinugasa.

>>11980297
how? half of the girls were below lvl 10 when I beat it

>>11980297
dunno, it was pretty easy for me, except tenryuu which was lv30ish from expeditions, the other were around lv10 with just armor and firepower capped, with 2 mainguns and a green AA gun.

>>11980302
>>11980305
Well, I have all of them below 10, exept Kinugasa. Can't get to the boss node, because always get torpedoed.

>>11980322
just keep trying. I started with 3 girls at level 1 and they were 8 or 9 when I finished that quest.

other girls started at 12, 19 and over 40.

>>11980322
Get at least a half of them remodeled. Unless you're really lucky, you're going to waste more resources on the repair than you'd get from the reward.

>>11980322
line aboob all nodes except boss node

>>11980329
Wo, I...

>>11980332
ni

>>11980149
Even Yuubari with 4 type 3 sonars required 2 hits for me to sink the sub under green T conditions. Ring is more reliable.

And why Tenryuu? Just bring Kitakami and use her as a regular CL. You could even stack cut-in setups on her due to her 30 luck.

>>11980344
I think Bismarck looks more like her sans the ahoge.

Did they change 2-2 or does compass-chan just hate me? I just got sent North 12 times in a row at the start

>>11980377
Compass-chan hates you, wait an hour and try again.

>>11980377

>>11980379
I fucking knew it

Thought on expe38? That's a lots of fuel per hour.

>>11980388
I need expedition 37 a lot more. I'm running out of ammo and steel.

And I just can't seem to craft a single drum.

>>11980388
Do both ex37/38
Give tons of fuel and ammos without the need to sparkle.

I want to impregnate レ-chan

>>11980388
I run 5, 21 and 38 when awake, and baux ones when asleep.

>>11980388
ex2 sparkled is 200 fuel per hour and 45 resupply cost in fuel every 90 minutes (so, 310 per 2 hours )
38 is just slightly, VERY slightly above that with 100% GS ratio (which you won't have without sparkling)

I run 2-5-9.
when 9 runs out of sparkle, I switch to 2-5-36
Upon weekly reset I run 2-5-38
38 is 4/6 members of ex9 so I run 36 after I do 38 and resparkle the 38 team and then do 9 after 36 runs out of sparkle

>>11980402
You mean 5?

>>11980402
Sparkling costs resources, it's not free, all exp that require drums have a 1/3 chance at getting great success without sparkles, much better than regular ones imho.

>>11980411
yes I mean 5
wow, brainfarted much

>>11980412
the extra cost from sparkling is offset by the 2/3 more great success
do the math

2, 5, 6 here. 35, 36 + whatever I need more overnight.

Is there a droprate difference between S and perfect S?

>>11980415
You can also sparkle for Tokyo express, the sparkles will last more and you will get more fuel too.

Who needs overnight expedition if you can script?

>>11980434
scripting is for faggots.

Based on my math, if you run 2-5 and have one free slot, running 36 is basically as good (better if you have boats) as running 3, 6 and 9 for the same number of hours in that slot

>>11980430
I am sparkling them but the resupply cost is still higher, you cannot use subs and I already calculated the net gains and costs with 100% GS ex38 compared to 5 (and 21)

21,37,38 is the holy grail for people who never sparkle though

>>11980434
Who needs a script if you can just wake up every couple hours? Sleeping is for the weak.

>>11980438
21, 37, 38 are too good not to sparkle

>>11980415
>sparkling
Not worth the effort to do it. With the implementation of drums, I dont even sparkle ex5 anymore.
I finally have 4boats with feb reward and I only run sparkled ex35. At work I just spam normal ex5 and ex21. And when I play actively to clear the daily I just run a few ex2 to finish my daily 10expedition quest. Easy 1.5k bauxite from ex35 and however much I can get from quest reward everyday. Bauxite is easy and ammo is my bottleneck due to pvp.
I think when I get enough drums and high level mutsukis, I would just run ex35 and 2 from ex21 ex37ex38 24/7.

>>11980412
>all exp that require drums have a 1/3 chance at getting great success without sparkles
Is it only anecdotal or fully confirmed?

How to recruit Abyss ships? I really want Abyss Miku to join my fleet.

>>11980448
Not him, but from my experience, exp21 had a 30-50% of great success while I only saw it happen once after more than 15 runs with exp38, so they most likely have different rates.

>>11980447
>With the implementation of drums, I dont even sparkle ex5 anymore.
Wait, can you get great success with drums even on maps which do not actually require drums?

>>11980465
No

>>11980447
suit yourself
I say it's worth the effort

Are we having a resources dick waving contest again?

*whips out scripts*

>>11980490
I just don't understand. What's the point in posting scripted resources? It doesn't even provide any e-penis because everyone can script. All it takes is a quick google search. From there on, it's just time.

>>11980491
>It doesn't even provide any e-penis
But some people who run scripts like to think it does. Having more resource means you are a much better and skilled player than the people that have less resource, obviously.

>>11980491
and also anybody can sit in front of the PC doing nothing but expeditions manually, resources generally are just a question of time.

>>11980491
but muh superior script

>>11980491
>All it takes is a quick google search
More like open notepad, write simple script, done, my script took 10min to write and it's more complex one

Oh boy, oh boy resource bragging time?

Count me in scrubs!

Hope you fuckers get rekt at Midway.

>>11980484
What is the point? You put so much effort into sparkling and collecting resources for? You dont even do LSC.

>>11980505
Holy fuck? How?

I felt so piss poor right now with my 40k resources.

>>11980508
the point is autism and dumb fears

>>11980508
The point is, your resource count is still shit.

Step up admiral

>>11980513
Scripting, obviously

Getting real tired of your compass shit, 5-1.

Haha i'm winnan :p

If only ZUN!bar was here...

>>11980542
:p

After a month of playing I finally found a Kongou to unlock 4th fleet. Not sure what expeditions to run now. I currently run exp6 and 21 most of the time.

>>11980604
Bucket expeditions.

>>11980604
sparkle 5 with 5 cheapest ships for best gains, 2 for buckets

The new ships any good, or are they just trophy ships?

>>11980633
Bismarck is a fast battleship, so she can be useful if you don't want to use Kongous, but she has like 58 AA (which is awful).
Z1 and Z3 aren't very good destroyers, but they're cute as heck.

>>11980633
just trophies

>>11980633
I run Z3 for her cuteness stat.

>>11980633
They're for tender loving.

>>11980637
>>11980640
>>11980641
Well I guess I'll continue grinding my DDs so I can actually fucking beat 3-2 or whatever is DD only. Still don't have Taihou as well.

>>11980633
Trophy or not, they're Fumikane ships and thus worth getting I haven't got even one of them ;_;

>>11980633
Zs have pretty good ASW for destroyers with a single Kai.

>>11980653
Time to rev up those sub expeditions. Z3 is really cute.

>>11980653
I like Taihou more though, only Bismarck looks interesting for the new ones.

>>11980653
>>11980656

I still don't get why they have higher fuel/ammo consumptions even when their stats are lower than the other normal DDs.

>>11980661
Yeah, I'm on it. Still 1 day and 10 hours until my exp30 fleet return.

>>11980669
I don't even have exp30 unlocked.

>>11980673
doit fgt

Why do all of you still play browser games in the year 2014?

>>11980678
Because I like cookie clicker with cute girls

>>11980673
I was lucky I got both Iku and Hachi in just a few 1-5 sorties, so I can finally do the long ass expedition.

>>11980679
Would love to, but I've failed the other expeditions despite following the required ship guide.

That and the fucking long time.

>>11980687
check your flagship level.

>>11980667
Because Japanese ship more superior ship than gaijins.

>>11980678
Why do you post in an imageboard in the year 2014?

>>11980699
I don't post in one. I post on one.

>>11980702
Both are grammatically correct in this case.

>>11980708
There can only be one, bub.

How do I sparkle Maruyu?

>>11980776
PVP.

>>11980776
1-1 just like everything else

>>11980776
run her through 1-5 solo?

Do echelon formation really gives you any boost in sub runs ?
Line ahead seems to do more damage than listed above.

>>11980809
who says Echelon boosts subs?

>>11980813
That's why I'm asking. I just got 4th sub and after really long looking at pvp list, subs there are usually in echelon, Same goes to sorties with abbys. So I thought it was major fact when running them.

Let me restate my question. Do changing formation when running subs really matter ?

>>11980829
PVP formations are made automatically, if you have a sub flagship you automatically take echelon. That doesn't mean it's the best. I always use line ahead when doing 2-3 sub runs personally.

>>11980829
with subs you just go line ahead. Not sure why the game puts subs into Echelon, it's not good for subs. But generally, formations do matter for subs, too. Just that most options aren't good choices due to low torpedo accuracy.

>>11980836
>>11980831
Thank you

>>11980809
>>11980813
>>11980829
>>11980831
>>11980836
I think they're in echelon or line abreast just so you'll have an easier time sinking them, because if they were in line ahead their pre-emptive torps will screw you over before you even get a chance to kill them.

Whether it was part of the subs nerf or not I don't know, because subs (both enemy and ally) were monstrously OP before they got nerfed.

Just use line ahead for subs anyway, since they'll be the most useful in line ahead.

>>11980692
Oh god now I'm running into quests that require drums.

Can't wait for my Ruski ships.

FTFY. People already forgetting delicious Tymoshenko. Pretty sad.

is there a way to script without ubuntu?

>>11980897
What, you don't sparkle Maruyu on 1-1, what's wrong with you.

>>11980872
I can never see Slav girls as non-whorish.

Sen istiyor duş,verecek 100$

>>11980906

Dunno man, Tymoshenko always looked like a hag baked in make-up to me.

>>11980911
Yes, but like you I've been too stupid and lazy to realize and use it

>>11980908
She gets critted to the red everytime.
Its annoying.

>>11980906
>age 53
I have no words.

>>11980872
She already looks like a goddamn Kanmusu. I bet she's a CA.

No but seriously, fuck you 5-1. East for the past fucking 10 times in a row now.

>>11980928
2DD 2CA and lots of praying.
God I fuckin hate that cursed place.

>>11980928
Post setup.

>>11980935
Oh no no no. I was just trying to level up DDs/CLs on that South node instead of going to 4-3.

>>11980936
3DD, 2CL, 1BBV

>>11980928
If you have problems with 5-1, 5-3 will be so much fun for you

>>11980942
RNG just teases you a bit.
Sometimes it never let you go to the whirlpool.
Sometimes you can never be let stray.

>>11980943
Sounds not fun.

>>11980958
I thought this would be a better alternative than 4-3, where most of the time I hit the South node. I guess there's no escaping RNG.

>>11980969
Do 1-5 instead, it drops subs too. You can even get Hachi from boss node.

>>11980972
Alright, I will try.

>>11980976
As for 5-1, you might want to wait an hour or so before trying again. My experience with the RNG has taught me that it's time-based.

>>11980978
Seconding.

>>11980978
I think I'm getting the same feeling, especially doing 2-3 about a gagillion times where it'll send me to the boss node many times in a period of time (of course, with the transport quest on) and then South (with the boss quest on). But that might just be the quest tracker fucking with me.

>>11980994
deactivate the quest on you'll be send the other way quickly.

>>11981004
But that defeats the purpo- oh.

Best place for World 4 boss weekly?

>>11981011
4-2

>>11980994
It's not, I had times where on activating the world 2 daily quest I got sent to the 2-3 boss node 5 times in a row. Time-based is more likely.

Who no 3-2-A master race here?

>>11981021
and I had times where I was sent transports - boss - transports - boss

>>11981027
and I had times when I could not reach the boss ten times in a row.

>>11980872
That would be grand.

>>11981033
I once needed 4 hours to reach the boss just one time

>>11981021
I always wonder if people who thinks RNG is time based are just trolling or not.

>>11981023
I got to the boss once, all my DDs got raped.

>>11981041
I'm looking for those who don't do 3-2-A even once.

Also, shouldn't you be getting raped at the BBs node instead?

>>11981039
We certainly are not, we've experienced it firsthand.

Fuck this shit, I just got 5 CLs in as many minutes crafting with rare DD recipe for dailies.

5th Iku, no Hachi. Come on now.

Relatively new player, but I couldn't find any information on this on the wiki. Regarding expeditions, how do number and type of ships affect the returns you get, if at all? Can I send just one ship and get the same reward as sending 6? Does it matter if I send destroyers/cruisers/carriers/etc?

>>11981203
No.
Neat function though.

>>11981205
Thanks

>>11981234
>I couldn't find any information on this on the wiki
Try reading more than the front page.

>>11981234
If an expedition requires 4 ships, you'll get the same return no matter if you send 4 or 6. The only thing # matters is if you're sparkling- 6 ships is a guaranteed great success (I believe), whereas 4 sparkled ships can return only regular success.

>>11981237
Not 100% guaranteed, but close. 95-99% great success though yeah.

Go to the drop list on wikiwiki and Ctrl-F 編成と装備(一例).

If I'm reading the charts right, according to the nips, putting a depth charge in the first slot will trigger the depth charge + sonar combo, but putting a sonar won't. (I also felt a boost t my Jintsuu's ASW strength when I replaced the first sonar with a depth charge, but it might be a placebo... or not.)

>>11981254
>t
to*

>>11981254
>>11981258
Interestingly, I witnessed this at my 1-5 clear.
My Nakachang and Isuzu had Type 3 DC+2Sonar at this order and they critted incredibly.
I thought ,well its World 1, so enemy subs are paper,but you mention this I'm not sure.

Have any of you lost ships because you weren't paying attention? I recently lost Goya because I just kept clicking Go while I was looking at my main monitor.

>>11981269
I haven't because I am not a scum teitoku.

>>11981269
yeah, i lost my Maruyu no.2 while farming 3-2 and reading some reddit posts of another game. I though i was doing a 5-2 boss run, and misclick twitce before i realized that.

>>11981269
It was always a concern but now that KCV changes color when you have a red ship I'm not worried about it anymore. It's hard not to notice that your window changed from blue to orange.

>>11981269
lost twice since i was new teitoku and don't know evething

>>11981269
Never lost a ship and I intend to keep it that way.

>>11981269
No, my script show error if you try to advance on red.

>>11981023
Neah, I like having leveled ships.

However, I'm part of the superior no 3-2-G club.

>>11981269
Yes, it was the night I arrived in Tokyo in December before Comiket. I was terribly sleepy from jetlag and I advanced my fleet with Iku while she was red... I'm a horrible admiral.

>>11981269
I don't lose ships.

Or lose.

Fuck the RNG. My Ryuujou just got crit to red at the first node at 1-5 when I was using double line.

>>11981254
>>11981266
How much damage were the crits? I've been using 2 sonar+1 dc and I usually get 80 crits on elites and 50-60 crits on the boss flagship.

>>11981347
I've seen 120's and 130's, 80's and 50's.
Don't know the specific target.

>>11981269
In my first month of playing, I sunk a Kiso and a Haruna. I learned my lesson about paying attention while on sortie.

Did they change anything in the construction? I've been spamming the rare DD/SS recipe and I keep getting trash CL's every time.

>>11981356
That's normal.

>>11981356
>I've been spamming the [...] recipe and I keep getting trash CL's every time.
par for course

Anyone from server 2 ? My connection is very unstable.

>>11981347
Didn't really notice how much the difference between using 3 sonars and using 2 sonars 1 depth charge was, but it does seem to have a slight difference. For both the damage done against flagship subs can range from 40s during head-on engagement or as high as 60s during green T.

I first noticed this difference when I was training spare KitaOoi pairs at 5-1 (they're still too paper for practical use at this point). Each of them had a type 93 sonar at the first slot and a type 94 depth charge in the second. For the 2 CLs I brought in my first fleet that I didn't put as flagship, I switched the sonar and depth charge. At the point of testing, the levels and base ASW for the 4 ships were close in number. Of course, the flagship I wanted to grind would have superior equipment, and I didn't forget the obligatory BBV as well.

So what happened was the KitaOoi pair usually did less damage to, say, a normal sub, than a CL with swapped equipment would do to the same target. Of course, the RNG would sometimes cause them to steal the MVP anyway, but it was a rarer case than either CL doing so, even assuming none of them participated in the second shelling phase. The damage difference per target was around 5-10 on average. Maybe 6 or 7.

On another note, while doing 1-5 runs I found the 2nd of 4 slots particularly vulnerable to attack from the first node. Is this just RNG as well?

>>11981402
It's your net. No error cats/lag all day for me.

Does sparkle work differently on subs? Every single time I sparkle the sub fleet, they immediately sustain heavy damage in the first node of 2-2, of all places. They're all lvl20+ and fully modernized.

Apologies if this has been asked before. For expedition 31 I can fill in the last 2 slots with whatever ships so I can add the cumulative fleet level and still succeed right?

>>11981435
RNG rears its ugly head again.

>>11981436
Yes.

>>11981435
first node of 2-2 is line aboob you idiot

>>11981441
That's what I do! They still eat crits like it's their job!

>>11981463

That's not it you colossal faggot.

Go and read the the combat modifiers.

A little spoiler: Those stats also apply to the enemy fleet.

Well, almost. My 4th slot CVL sometimes gets hit, too.

>>11981492
He wasn't telling YOU to use line aboob, he was saying that the ENEMY uses line aboob, so it can crit subs very easily.

And in any case, you always use line ahead with an all sub fleet.

>>11981269
Yeah, accidentally lost my original Akagi in 3-4. She's back now, but I'm still exceptionally careful about continuing the sortie.

>>11981504
In my first run, my 3rd place holder Isuzu got critted to red.
Then I put my BBV there, never forced to retreat again.

Game puts some conditions for you, and wants you to pay attention to them,in my opinion.
Sometimes your 5th sub slot gets cursed, you put Shioi there and until curse has moved to some other part, you manage.

>>11981269
Not a single casualties since August.

>>11981514
I guess I'll have to agree with you on that one.

I guess this is what I get for being cocky, huh, /jp/?
I got Taihou and Yamato both first craft and bragged about it more than once. I just did my 15th bismarck attempt for a Maruyu. I thought since I finished LSC hell so early, my dev mats would just blow through the roof, but I'm down to about 200 now. I'm nowhere near in as deep as some of you, but I'm beginning to understand this pain.
I'm so sorry.

>>11981526
I want to tenderly love all my DDs and some of my CLs. I haven't decided on the flagship of my heart yet.

>>11981603
There's always your first DD. You haven't scrapped nor sunk her right?

>>11981613
Nope. Fubuki's got 4 more levels to marriage.

Is it common to get beaver'ed while trying to craft Max?

>>11981613
Darn it, now I'm having second thoughts if I'm going to give up my Murakumo or keep her.

>>11981624
be prepared for plenty of her and that seal with thong

>>11981625
You better not. I lost my Murakumo when I was a young and foolish TTK and she's never came back to me. I've yearned for her to drop ever since.

>>11981629
A mere gold is rarer than two holos? Go figure.

And here I thought gold has become less rare than silver.

>>11981641
Nah, it's just desire sensor at work.

>>11981641
doesn't matter if they're gold or holos, at certain point of having dupes you'll no longer cares.

it's not physical cards you can sell you know.

Where do i farm CVLs?

which one was the 46cm miracle recipe? 100/250/250/250?

>>11981652
I guess once you have a character your perception of their rarity becomes kind of scrambled.
It felt like the only gold characters that actually seemed rare is Zuihou/Mikuma because I've only seen them once.

>>11981664
That's the one that also yields type 32 radars. I don't think there's a real 46cm miracle recipe, just a couple multi-purpose ones.

>>11981664
10/251/250/10. There's no such thing as "best" recipe, but there were reports that Yamato-class gives you a lot of 46s.

>>11981679
Thanks, yeah I'm in need of some AP ammo as well.

>>11981664
Got mine from 10/251/250/10, some with Fusou as flagship, some with Yamato.

>>11981683
251?

>>11981679
It might be placebo, but I find that pumping extra of certain resources could increase my chances of getting better equips. For example, putting 300 ammo instead of 251 in the 46cm recipe seemed to yield more 46cms, and 21/60/20/131 yielded more holos than 20/60/10/110.

>>11981682
There's a link to the list of guides for Kancolle. Recipes is one of them.

If you want AP ammo as well use 30 bauxite instead of 10.

>>11981689
>21/60/20/131
How many Ryuusei Kai have you got so far from that recipe? Might as well try for a change.

>>11981694
0, but I wasn't aiming for those anyway (got like 3-4 Reppus in less than 20 crafts at one point), and I only ever got one Ryuusei Kai from crafting (forgot the recipe). Also got a bunch of Ryuuseis and Suisei 12As, plus a Saiun.

>>11981694
I got like 4, way back in the day, like November or early December

How are some of you swimming in Umi no Snipah's and Goya's when I can't even get one spamming recipes and 1-5?

>>11981694
Not him but 6 of them from Lv80+ Taihou,sometimes 3 holos in a row when RNG is in a good mood.

>>11981499
Akkan is better. Kols are expendable.
