/jp/ - Otaku Culture

So now that the next event as Midway is under suspicion, who wants to venture a guess as to which battle it'll be based on?

>>12047231
We don't really have any information to base it on.

The threads really move at a slower pace, and apparently faster to die nowadays.
Even though at last month the thread could easily last until around 1500-2000 posts

>>12047235
Twitch beats midway when?

>>12047234
Well it just means /jp/ gets less deleted threads.

>>12047234
Actually, faster to die means more active because it's faster to reach bump limit.

>>12047231
Corregidor or MO probably.

>>12047266
MO is already an expedition, isn't it?

>>12047266
> Corregidor
> Military engineers had cut away the entire top of El Fraile Island down to the water-line and used the island as a foundation to build a reinforced concrete "battleship", 350 ft (110 m) long and 144 ft (44 m) wide, with exterior walls of concrete and steel 25–36 ft (7.6–11.0 m) thick.
Henderson-chan, vol.2. I hope you guys have enough destroyers.

>>12047280
day battle only. no night battle. ring formation, 5 fortresses

>>12047280
> In 1945, as part of the offensive to recapture Manila, Fort Drum was assaulted by US forces. After a heavy aerial and naval bombardment, US troops gained access to the deck of the fort on 13 April, and were able to confine the garrison below. Rather than attempting to break in, the troops and engineers adapted the solution first used some days earlier in the assault of mortar forts on Fort Hughes.

> There, the troops "pumped two parts diesel oil and one part gasoline" into mortar pits, stood off, and ignited it with tracer bullets. At Fort Drum a similar technique was employed, utilizing air vents on the top deck, but a timed fuse was used rather than tracer fire.

> On ignition, the remaining Japanese soldiers were cooked alive; the flammable mixture kept a fire burning in the fort for several days.

That's not a nice thing to do.

>>12047234
Keep trying, shitposter.

>>12047290
Yeah, not a nice thing to do, but then again, WW2 is a treasure trove of such incidents. And at least these were between regular combatants.

But we digress.
I wonder what rare ships are gonna be available for pick-up during the event?

What 2 additional ships did you guys bring for quest B21? 3-1 boss is really tough as the 4 required DDs do not have enough firepower. I brought 2 CV (Akagi lvl 94 and Kaga lvl 94) but it was not sufficient.

>>12047231
What if they're trying to surprise us with Midway

>>12047311
Load your carriers to the brim with torpedo bombers and pray you will not hit Wo formation. You only need to B-rank it after all, and they will easily destroy those CLs and DDs.

>>12047309
I want Gumos as non-boss drops. They're practically unfarmable now.

>>12047311
Brought Kaga and Nagato, the only hard part was the stupid compass that kept sending me NE at the beginning.

>>12047311
Really? Is your carrier so shitty that they cant kill 4 of them?

>>12047322
What about 5-4?

I've been getting this error for a month now. Tried updating to latest KCV version, latest flash player version, latest IE version, cleared cache, turning my computer off and on again etc. Any suggestions?

>>12047325
I'm trying not to destroy my bucket stockpiles over some trophy shits.

>>12047311
Cranes to do both quests at the same time

>>12047327
Trust me bro, you never want a latest version of flash, those 2011's versions are way more stable than the recent ones.

>>12047334
so which flash version are you using now?

What is wrong with you?

>>12047438
Anyone with a level 80 Bismarck is beyond caring about resources.

>>12047443
Because why the fuck not? There's been nothing else to do for literally months.

>>12047446
Quoted wrong post.
>>12047438

>>12047446
I'm almost beginning to think events at some point in the future will require those resources, and perhaps 72 hours or some such for the cream-of-the-crop rares

>>12047470
I'd be okay with this, so long as the "easy" portion of the event had as much content as a full event. I don't think anyone would be cross if you could get Shinano in E4 and proceed to a super-hard E5 only if you wanted uncraftable equipment and other good-but-not-key rewards.

I can wait for the high-end ships to be available.

>>12047334
>>12047327

I just tried playing flash from other sites and they work perfectly on KCV. Only Kancolle does not seem to be loading. ;_;

>>12047470
Then only autists and cheaters will be able to clear them. I doubt it.

>>12047508
Try going to DMM's main page on KCV.

>>12047512
It loads fine, but when I click on links towards the game itself, the KCV browser would automatically focus on the flash file itself.

>>12047503
I think the game needs to move away from this model of short time exclusive events.
It leaves the players with nothing to do most of the time. This also creates a stockpiling effect which makes it harder to tune events.
The devs also have to spend a lot of time to create something that will only be played for a short period.
It's not like the game's profitability relies on people buying items for the event.
The monthly maps like 1-5 and 5-5 is a step into the right direction.

>>12047508
Fuck off with your spoilers.

Is there any polygamist here ?
Mai waifu is the purest, Haruna - but Taiho's getting close to 99 and I really like her, so I bought a extra ring.
Who are your waifuS, /jp/ ?

>>12047673
all five subs
might add Nagato, Mutsu, three CLTs at some point

>>12047673
I was going to marry only Yamato but gave in and married the CLTs since it was annoying having them stuck at 99.
Probably will marry Nagato and Suzuya once they hit 99 too.

>>12047673
I'm a filthy monogamist

>>12047673
Monogamy Club, reporting in.

>>12047691
>>12047701
Well, I guess I'll adopt some policy where I marry every ship I like a lot when they hit 99 to continue using them, since I'm an autistic anon who can't take wasting exp. That's why I have 2 set of CLt (99,99,99 / 98,84,66)/

>>12047709
>>12047724
Monogamy is cool, it's not your fault your hearts aren't big enough for multiple girls !

>>12047736

why do you need a video?

>>12047798
You can just throw Yukikaze at 1-1 with each setup.

Oh for fucks sake. I thought they would at least keep the pieces with the same proportions.

>>12048040
This is torture

Fucking sadists

>>12048047
They never do that, just let the nips join the pictures perfectly.

>>12048051
Speaking of torture. We need a spinn off event with pirates to fight. And the pirates shoes should be built like if they were walking the plank.

I would post the actual gif but it's not even safe enough to use with spoilers.

You were.

Reporting in. I'm about to marry Hachi soon.

>>12048349
So you are stockpiling as well, I see.

>>12048349
I wish there was a good way to spend steel alone.

I envy these people with that kind of resources.

I fucking blame Wo and LSC.

>>12048375
what did wo do wrong?

>>12048373
Yup, I'm going to burn all of my resources to get Musashi and Yamato anyway to beat 5-5.

I guess moot killed us.

>この『一周年』タイミングで【春イベント：期間限定海域】を開催させて頂く予定です。新システムや新艦＆新改装娘、新BGMも投入されます。お楽しみに！

new system, new kanmusu, new kai, new bgm for anniversary?

6months to finally beat this game.
Not bad.

Now, we've assumed that a CV will probably hit Kai-2 at Midway, ammarite?
If so, it's very likely to be Hiryu, correct?
Then that opens room for more Shibafu Kai-nis, yeah?

Still waiting. Still waitin' for that day...

>>12048602
no, it's just you

>>12048602
nobody assumed that

>>12048602

Anon.... I...

Shinano where art thou

>>12047673
I still have to marry a ship, pull I'll probably go polygamy and marry Yamato and Haruna, maybe Nagato too if she gets a second remodel at some point.

I promise guys, after this event end, regardless if I clear it or not, I will quit this game!

>>12048937
I'd like too, I can't take LSC torture and months long wait for an event anymore

>>12048937
See you later on the next event m8.

BTW, if you really quit, let's borrow your account to test some stuff

You admirals say that... But you're really here forever, whether you like it or not.

>>12048968
Then why is it so dead here?
checkmate atheists.

>>12049055
I've been 3-2-Aing all day to level a few ships before the event kicks in.

>>12048937
Everyone who quits needs to post their API here so we can take care of their ship daughters

>>12048955
>>12049070
I don't want my ship daughters to make contact with another person, less another admiral!

>>12049100
Are you fucked in the head?

>>12049100
Scrap them all on YouTube.

I like her already.

>>12049109
It's a joke, anon.
But I really want to stop playing this.

>>12049118
Okay I'll stop forcing you to play. You're free now!

>>12049118
Scrap Honorably dismiss from the service all your ships on stream.

Does the Kancolle lottery times ever change? Do want to play but can't stay up till 4:00AM my time to enter.

>>12049134
Sometimes it's at 3pm or 9pm (JP)

Huh, neat. It just dawned on me that I'm doing the exact mistake the IJN did, by focusing most of my attention to my battleship girls for the past few weeks, while almost completely ignoring my carrier girls.

Midway-failure club, early applicant, reporting in. Now looking for prospective members!

>>12049169
My best carrier is level 70, while I have eight level 90+ BBs and CAs. I'll join you in your suffering.

>>12049169
IJN didn't focus on battleships any more than other navies at that time did.

>>12049169
I failed by leveling some of them to 99. Now I don't feel like using them in events at all, I can't deal with all those wasted exp.

>>12049169
Not like it matters, you can brute force the game with Yamatos easily. Kancolle is no WitPAE.

>>12049169
Having played Kancolle I have no sympathy for the IJN. All they had to do was retreat on orange. The fools!

>>12049169
My level 120 Musashi will be laughing and Wo-kai and Re they better be prepared

>>12049169
> Now looking for prospective members!
I'm in. After wasting all my resources on Taiho gambling(finally got her after I lost count of tries) I'm in four digits.

>>12049195
I'm going to laugh like madmen if they will make Taiho E6+ drop.

>>12049174
Underestimating aerial warfare and relying too much on my surface warfare capabilities is what I'm getting at.

>>12049172
>>12049195
Good, new friends! I have two usable carriers at level 70, the rests are left untouched after their remodels. I bought Wo's "level doesn't matter!" lie wholesale.

>>12049226
But Wo never lies. She cares about you, TTK!

I like how you are all falling for Re again. There's no real indication it's Midway. This has been repeated already.

>>12049237
T-thanks, Wo...!

>>12049239
This is also another reason why I neglected my carriers, as doubt started to well up in me. Then comes the 23rd and suddenly it's actually Midway and I'll be triple fucked. Thanks Wo, thanks Re.

>>12049248
but the one who rape you at Midway will be Re flagship Kai....

>>12049248
They're always there for you.

>>12049253
But Re said it'll be an easy event...

>>12049257
For her.

>>12049257
She always say that before she rape your res and bucket

>>12049248
It is not midway. Wo is never wrong, it is basically going to be 5-5 tier or easy as fuck like arpeggio.
Event is only 2weeks so it is going to be easy as fuck.

>>12049279
5-5 and Arpreggio were both as difficult actually.

>>12049310
Arpeggio might have been hard if you tried to do it without submarines because beam saber but I don't see how it could have been so otherwise.

>>12049310
I don't see how those can even be compared

Considering the difficulty of 5-5, cutin is definitely the way to go, so it's time to LSC! Let's do it /jp/.

>>12049316
Arpeggio seemed easy because we got it after Fall event, and even compared to any other previous event Arpeggio was pretty lacking in difficulty.

5-5 seems hard because it's compared to 5-4, world 5, or any other map.

But if you compare resources and buckets usage both takes pretty much the same amount of them.

>>12049334
What the hell are you talking about?
Arpeggio required at most 10K resources to complete, whereas 5-5 is a hell hole, requiring 20-30K

>>12049334
I completed Arpeggio spending little more then 6k resourses and about 40 buckets. Might have spent even less if Iona wasn't crit magnet. I don't even want to touch 5-5.

>>12049334
Unless you are running some shitty comp, arpeggio is easy as fuck.
E-3 is a joke, 0 number of retreat, no need for support, laser accuracy is almost as fuck and can be avoided by including 1sub in your fleet.

>>12049334
I haven't touched 5-5 but Arpeggio was cheaper than the fucking futon quest (screw you compass)

>>12049355
you could not avoid Maya and Kongou lasers, nor Kirishima or Haruna lasers, unless you ran all subs

Sure is being full of shit in your post.

>>12049362
Maya's laser is the only issue. Kongou's laser beam has a very shitty accuracy.

>>12049366
Maybe in your experience but certainly not in mine or those of others

>>12049362
Obviously I am talking about Nagara cruiser laser.
Who care if they shoot laser at the final node, you dont have to retreat even if they hit your weaksauce ships to red. The laser doesnt even hit, their accuracy is like 10% at most.

I'm curious what levels those "arpeggio was piss easy even easier 1.1.A" shiposters were when the event was on. In my experience, Arpeggio wasn't that easy. heck, I don't even remember people doing subcheesing that much too.

>>12049379
People who have done 5-5 were scaled to the hardest difficulty of Arpeggio, I don't know what your point is. Most people used the fog ships to clear normal maps so they'd have a very good point of reference. I had a harder time clearing 3-4, 4-4, and 5-3 than I did any Arpeggio event map. And I effortlessly farmed E-2 for hundreds of runs without suffering anywhere near the damage I took on 5-4. The event was designed to be very easy, I don't know why there's suddenly an argument that it's on par with the hardest map in the game. Maybe at a glance your resource consumption was the same because you used fog ships with ridiculous costs.

About to paint my Hibiki - which one is the correct color scheme?

>>12049474
I only see 1 color-scheme there.

>>12049486
the one on top is the "color scheme" that came with my 1/700 tamiya

I guess my question is - wooden decks or no?

>>12049492
The one on the top has a Japanese flag that's gray on white?

>>12049495
I-I'm sorry anon, here

>>12049500
>>12049474
What paints are you using?

>>12049506
I'm undecided. Probably gonna go with acrylic because enamel were too thick for this kind of details.

>>12049500
looks like wooden deck

>>12049515
Thank you anon. Couldn't find a nice colored Hibiki photograph because Google was flooded with images of the ship daughter.

any hope of getting an updated version of logbook translated?

>>12049515
Aren't most WWII warships wooden decked to ensure sailors walking on board have traction even in the most wet conditions?

>>12049721
That's the reason? I just knew that many ships had wooden decks.

Oh god fucking damn it, please create a "return expedition" button already.

>>12049761
And an option to scrap multiple girls.

>>12049761
That would beat the purpose. You have to think harder before setting an expedition.

>>12049515
It's actually linoleum. Only the battleships and carriers had wood. Incidentally the raised seams are actually brass strips to hold down the linoleum.

>>12049771
Yeah, but sometimes things go wrong and you set your expedition 37 fleet to the 38 one.

>>12049773
This is your own failure as an admiral, and if they created such a button it would be at the cost of resources.

>>12049780
Would gladly pay a full fleet of resources for that.

>>12049782
Even if you had to pay the expected resources + resupply?

>>12049780
You'd have to pay when they come back anyway.

She actually sounds like a rodent.

>>12049785
Why not?

>>12049789
Because it will make the expedition you will do with the corrected fleet pointless because it will just cover the penalty.

>>12049786
Are you just now getting your first one?

>>12049795
Then I will finish the expeditions quest faster.

>>12049799
True, but it is resource inefficient.

>>12049800
But mind efficient. I swear, I need to take a break after this event.

>>12049798
Yes. Finally got Myoukou to drop too. I had all four Kongou sisters forever, so I've been waiting on her huge eyebrows before I could unlock my fourth fleet. Today is a good day.

>>12049885

ゼカツマア？

>>12049885
Rensouhou-chan sure got bulky

>>12049891
Yes, Amatsukaze.
I'm a bit disappointed that the poster girl for this event is a destroyer, unless she's has the same stats as Yukikaze, i don't see how she can be any useful.

What if Amatsukaze has even better stats than Poi

>>12049936
If she will be like Yudacchi, that would be great

>>12049936
>she can be any useful
Well, she can generate some doujin material together with speedslut.

>>12049943
I'm guessing she will be Shimakaze-tier, so I don't see that happening.

Amatsukaze doesn't really have anything impressive with her record. If anything she's going to have Shimakaze evasion, assuming they go for any sort of historical accuracy. Meaning we have absolutely no idea how good/shitty she's going to be.

>>12049978
How good evasion stat really is? Has japs tested how often will something like sparkled Shimakaze with 3 turbines be hit?

>>12049990
100% if over 2 nodes, because RNG

confirmed slut.
I want her so bad, she better be a early event assured drop, I don't want to farm her yahagi-style.

>>12050043
E10

>>12050043
I guess skirts are out of style lately.

>>12050043
It's amusing that they teased us about that ship instead of larger, trophy ship. Just like when they teased Z1 while hiding the Bismarck.

>>12050210
Yes.
They also never tease us about Musashi, Taihou or Yahagi.

>>12050217
They did do Taihou and Musashi.
BSM is the only time that they did not do this tease thing.
so cross finger.

>>12050210
But they've already previewed the large trophy ship.

>>12050241
I don't want to believe.

>>12050241
Fuck that.

>>12050210
It's not like they didn't say about the BB in the mix.

>>12050516
How expensive is it compared to 2-3 with 3 subs?

>>12050516
>>12050526
I do it with 5 subs + 1 CV/CVL/AV that I never resupply and end up scrapping after she gets to red, much more cheaper.

>>12050538
What setup for CV?

>>12050541
Stock equipment, I don't even bother changing it since it takes time and they usually get to red at the first Ru or Wo encounter.

>>12050547
>>12050585
Are you guys really going to put an innocent CV/CVL/AV to slavery?

>>12050592
It's no different from sparkling.

>>12050594
Its different because you are going to dispose of her when she can no longer fight while you keep sparkled ships after their expedition.

>>12050599
you don't know people use throw-away DDs to keep damage from the ships they sparkle?

>>12050599
You mean you don't bring 2 cannon fodder DDs along? Sorry, but not everyone can afford to spend extra resources just to feel good about themselves.

>>12050612
shouldn't the sparkled expeditions pay for that?

>>12050616
Why bother paying at all?

>>12050611
Dear god I had no idea such people exited.

>>12050619
it's fine to maximize gains, just don't call it you can't afford it. That's just sugarcoating you're deliberately sacrificing them for more gains.

>>12050626
Sometimes I even let them sink because the delay on scrapping is too long.

>>12050626
You're new, aren't you? I wonder what you would have thought about suicide fleets during November event.

>>12050631
>just don't call it you can't afford it
Oh really.

>>12050632
Don't you ever feel anything when you let them sink.
>>12050634
Well I started in late January, but suicide fleets are ok because there was actual value doing it.

>>12050643
Seven months ago maybe but at this point I'm beyond jaded about this game. If they're not ships I intend to keep in my fleet I don't give a shit.

>want to keep one of each ship
>have to spend monies for extra slots
dam you autism

>>12050626
Look at it this way, the two choices are either scrapping right off the bat or make some use of the kanmusu and scrap her later, would you rather die for nothing or die knowing you helped your admiral?

>>12050663
Greentexting is prohibited in /jp/. Also, buying slots is what separates casual players from people who actually love their shipdaughters. It's a privilege to have the ability to show your feelings for them.

>>12050674
Yeah, because playtime in hours per day doesn't matter at all.

>>12050674
> buying slots is what separates casual players from people who actually love their shipdaughters.
Sleeping in 40-minutes intervals because of expeditions for past 7 months shows my love and care for my shipdaughters much more.

>>12050677
If you really loved them you would give up your NEET lifestyle and get a job to support them

>>12050665
Technically they don't die.

Subs confirmed for best curry.

Choukai being second.

>>12050693
Swap die for getting decommissioned then, it's a figure of speech.

>>12049761
Since results are calculated when the expedition is sent, do you have any idea how broken this would be? 100% bucket or devmat every single damn time, 100% great success for Tokyo Express, etc.

>>12050750
calling them back would abort the expedition so you wouldn't get anything.

>>12050696
As proud Nihon ships I guess they would prefer being useful but at least please use them for modernization.

>>12050674
seriously? since when? i never noticed

>>12050757
Yes, but that's not the point d00d. Why are you even pointing that obvious shit out I don't even know.

The point is you can literally call back the expedition every time it doesn't give you the result you want when you check.

>>12050790
As long as you have to resupply when you call them back it should be fine. You would end up wasting a lot of resources and time if you kept calling them back on bad results.

Though I don't really think it's needed, I've only messed up on expeditions like 5 times.

Are there still people that think this game isn't rigged?
Trying to get to 2-2 for daily but get sent to transport 5 times in a row and the moment I get to boss I get cat error.

Where's m? I'm craving for some spoilers.

You can use the time range in the image search to narrow down the results (e.g 1900 until march 2013).

>>12049582
Is the old one not working?
Because the newer version is not really different, feature-wise.

I'm getting tired of seeing new Destroyers, would they add something more useful like Submarines or BBs.

>>12050931
Useful like Bismarck? There are no IJN BB left, and the top of the german BB are the Bismarck-class. And it will probably take some time until we see other nations.
I wouldn't mind destroyers if they can at least be useful for expeditions, like Uzuki and Yayoi.
Z1 and Z3 were totally disappointing.

And they don't add subs because they know how useful they are.

>>12050833
nail a calculator to a cross, ideally a high end one

>>12050948
New CVs.

>>12050948
Bismarck is useful, her only flaw is her AA and she has a kai zwei pending.

>>12050976
No new CV will be added in the next event

>>12050977
For a LSC-only ship, she is disappointing. I hope her zwei will fix that.

>>12050948
>not using uzuki as your AA specialist

>>12051014
Why would anybody do that?

>>12051034
Cute/challenging

>>12051034
She has a full +10 anti-air stat on her sisters, the AA terror of the Mutsuki class.

>>12050904

Not that anon, but I have the 0.5.8, still working, new girls doesn't even have a name, but I can live with that.

>>12051107
That's not saying much

>>12051107
She also has better ASW.

>>12051107
But she sacrificed her X-turret for this, while other refits just replaced their 12,7 to 10 for the similar gain. Not exactly the best trade-off.

Does having more than one recon plane in your fleet do anything? Or is it useless?

No one did figure out who Hamakaze's seiyuu was, did they?

I finished my weeklies this early for the first time.
What should I do?
Plz no LSC

>>12051262
5-5

>>12051262
Stockpiling.

>>12051262
fap

>>12051266
Wo stop baiting him into failing the event.

>>12051266
Wo plz
But since I haven't 5-5 yet, means I have no chance for that this month right?

>>12051267
Hmm, 45k/42k/67k/74k should cover the non-Midway event.
Then I'll return to the LSC suffering,once again for useless hotel.

This fuckin even better give me a Hatsukaze

>>12051274
What if he doesn't have enough medals to get all the new things the event adds? He should get started on 5-5 right away just to be sure.

I've been having this message pop up from time to time. Anyone know what it means?

>>12051286
You never have enough resources.
>>12051289
>since I haven't 5-5 yet
Hear that Wo, no easy prey for you this time.

>>12051286
>useless hotel
Have fun with 5-5 without her.

>>12051286
*event

>>12051309
Yeah, apparently so.
I'm leveling up my KRSM and Nagato for preparation, then I can use 3SS+3BB route with Yamato.

>>12051292
It just says there's been an error and tells you to refresh the page

>>12051328
Ok thanks.
That's what I do whenever it appears anyway.

>>12051336
You can probably just hit cancel and be ok, I remember this error used to pop up a lot following the api link changes.

>>12050904
New girls don't have a name, expeditions are labeled <UNKNOWN> and I fear this will pile up for the event or that it will stop working when the event starts

>>12051350
I just use the jp one, translations aren't that necessary.

>>12051352
>translations aren't that necessary
You're grossly overestimating the level of intelligence of a typical EOP kancolle player.

>>12051352
it's a comfort and habit thing after using the translated ones for this long
I used the jp one for a long time before the first translated version showed up

>>12051337
This still pops up for me often. I'm logging directly into DMM.com via KCV though. Hitting cancel makes it go away, but it comes back few mins later.

what's a good place to level subs in world 1 or 2?
i keep getting owned no matter where i go

>>12051617
You need to max their stats first. Then send them on 2-3 slavery.

>>12051625
i want to hate this game so bad

So quiet.
Your bets, do you think it'll be Midway or some other/easy event?

>>12051634
Midway.
Even if it weren't Midway it could still be a hard event.

>>12051634
There's no better time to add Unryuu class into the game than Midway, so since there are no new carriers, this event must be something else. I do think it will be hard though, given how early they announced it.

>>12051634
Considering the actual Midway event happened in June, I don't see why they won't add a small event to tie us over.

>>12051651
Unryuu-class came after Midway historically.

>>12051634
No way next event is Midway. They probably made it to empty our stockpiles, so they could have easier time balancing Midway.

>>12051680
Then disregard everything I said.

>>12051684
Well, to be fair, Midway was the reason the Unryuu-class was build.

>>12051665
That'd be reasonable but the timing's all wrong. It's been 5 months since the last real event, 4 months since the small event, and that'd mean 1 month till a huge event. So this one would have to be stupidly easy not to exhaust everyone. They should have just made Valentines into a small event.

>>12051694
>Unryuu
>On 19 December 1944 the carrier disintegrated when torpedoes fired by USS Redfish detonated the forward magazine.

Why did I laughed?

Please do not misuse spoilers.

>>12051729
He did it because he did not want the punchline to be spoiled.

>>12051775
How will he be able to move like this?

>>12051292
An error occurred due to connection loss

Did anybody try using a fleet with 19 drums for the Tokyo Express? What's the great success rate?

>>12051775
Weird, the devs didn't update their twitter icon.
Where did you got it? Or did they revert to the previous one?

>>12051934
Not that anon, but Fatalpulse posted it to his twitter 10 hours ago. I just assumed that he drew it. Or maybe he and Yoshinori have been swapping notes.

>Fatalpulse ship

May the Almighty forgive

>>12052005
most likely Yoshinori's doing. I don't think Fatalpulse is skilled enough to mimic Yoshinori's shading style to that extent.

>>12051775
>
Four days after my return to Kure, sweeping reassignments came for most of my crew. Practically all of my officers and half of the petty officers and men were transferred. Every day saw my experienced officers and men leaving for new ships and new officers and recruits arriving to replace them. Such changes were going throughout the Navy. I could not imagine what the high command was thinking. My trained crew was being broken up and I resented it. Other skippers felt the same way. It would take at least two months to drill into shape this conglomeration of new men who had never worked together. And what would happen to we were called into action before they were ready?
When the Midway operation plan was revealed on May 20, I thought the high command must have lost its mind. This surprising news was whispered to me at the Kure Naval Station by Rear Admiral Raizo Tanaka. I gasped. “What? What does this mean Admiral?” I stammered. “Are we going to conduct it with this crew?”
“Shhhh…” said Tanaka dispiritedly. “As a matter of fact I am not sure about it. I hope it’s untrue.”

Well at least we don't have to deal with that.

What the fuck

>>12052033
When will the rain ever stop?

>>12051617
If you have world 3-2 unlocked, use them as 3-2A punching bag. When they reach level 25-ish, they graduate from punching bag to fuel farming machines on 2-3.

Oh shit.

>>12052082
So what do you think about level req. for kai2?

>>12052085
65

>>12052082
Looking good, bob. Hopefully Chikuma's fixed too.

>>12052082
YES BOB

>>12052082
Her index finger is a bit too small.

>>12047226
sup

>>12052082
Those sparkling eyes. I want to protect it.

>>12052082
AW YEAAAAAAH

>>12052082
Goddamn, I wish he fixed Shouhou too.

>>12052082
Will she change her type to CAV or stay as CA?

>>12052121
She'll change, unfortunately.

>>12052123
>unfortunately
In fact, I really hope that way. Now she can use glorious Seiran instead of shitty Yamato seaplane.

>>12052126
We already have 4 CAVs, one more CA kai ni wouldn't hurt.
>Seirans
Seirans aren't recons.

>>12052130
>Seirans aren't recons.
What? Welp, shit.

speaking of recon planes, what's the recipe for them?

>>12052138
20/10/10/20

>>12052138
10/10/20/20 with Ise as flag gave me a couple

>>12052138
>>12052142
roger willco

>>12052082
Well shit, time to level her I guess.

>>12052138
Just got Yamato seaplane with 10/10/20/20 using Chitose A.

>>12052153
Same result, about 10 tries.

>>12052138
20/10/10/20 with Shoukaku (though any CV should do) works too. Got 2 in 12 tries.

how do you tell which seaplanes can attack and which can't?
is the only one that can't attack the first recon plane?

>>12052220
Wiki.

>>12052089
I wonder if I can get her from 1 to 65 in a day or two, her being a CA and all. Fuck this.

>>12052244
If you canmanage to run 5-4 300 times, sure.

>>12052261
5-2 is better for grinding than 5-4.

>>12052244
You can go true NEET mode and spam 3-2 roughly 400 times using fatigue method.

>>12052244
KCV has an exp calculator, use it.

>>12052266
how?

Feels good to have 280k+ resources while waiting for the goddamn event.

>>12052272
More nodes.

>>12052267
>using fatigue method
What's that? I usually just keep swapping out ships in a rotation for fatigue.

>>12052274
Feels awful desperately stockpiling. Not like I'm even going to try post E3 stages for the first week anyway, japs must find compass requirements first.

>>12052279
5CV, idr how many CVL's you can bring, tons of blues, set level ship as flag, go to town on those poor 3-2-1 bastards.

>>12052309
Do you just ignore fatigue with this fleet?

>>12052318
Yes. Just keep running till you get to your goal or your NEET status gives out.

>>12052326
How do they hit stuff at 0 morale

>>12052384
If your planes are good enough they won't miss during the initial bombing. You can't get the S rank if anything survives that first bombing though.

>>12052384
Air phase isn't affected by fatigue.

You're going to hate that stupid flagship CL even more than usual though.

>>12052384
Like this.

>>12052396
Do you just not get S rank with this strategy then?

>>12052267
Is orange/red fatigue safe from sinking?

>>12052396
I wonder if it's worthwhile swapping out one cv for a sub.

>>12052408
It doesn't matter, if anyone survives the air phase, you can never hit her again and will get your ass kicked in the torpedo phase because of the fatigue.

>>12052411
level ship, 3 CV, CLT, SS
swap out CLT (you got 3) and SS as needed
if you manage to fatigue all three CLT, use a CA

>>12052406
Heck if I know. I don't play nearly enough to throw girls into the fire to test these things. Not that I would test those things even if I could.

>>12052406
>>12052519
It's safe. I still get nervous because the devs were misleading in the past so I always think "what if" but one of my CVL has been hit twice. First hit brought her to red, second hit to 1 HP.

Hopefully this is enough resources. Once the event starts I may need to spam the bauxite and fuel expeditions.

>>12052082
Not bad, I'm ready as long as the remodel level isn't above 85

>>12052656
What's wrong with your Bauxite brah?

>>12052679

Power leveling Tone is going to cost me like 20k fuel/ammo

Why are CAs so shit

Why is everyone in my PVP group using Agano? Did they announce something regarding her?

>>12052780
Don't do it if you are going to call her shit.

fuck fuck fuck why did i start so late with Tone she's only lv28, wasted too much time to grind all the extra akitsumaru and mikuma i had to get their remodel yields

>>12052805
I called her class shit, turbo nerd.

>>12052815
Calling every CA shit includes Tone too, scrub.

>>12052406
Your ships can sink only if you get taiha'd in one node and then proceed to the next, going night battle or having red fatigue means nothing, your ships are safe, japanese ttks made multiple tests and posted them on niconico.
Orange/Red fatigue only means that your ships will have reduced accuracy and evasion, and it will be easier to get them damaged.

how ready are you for midway?

>>12052811
Mine is level 93. I hope they didn't screw up and remove her stockings.

>>12052833
Never enough.

Have you guys trained your YASEN? What level is yours? At what level you think her kai 2 will be?

>>12052082
Only bob can save us, he's the only kancolle artist that knows how to upgrade a sprite, konishi and ku-rokuro are a lost cause.

>>12052856
lv20, and probably she'll have a lv65 upgrade just like Jintsuu

>>12052856
She will be as useless as Naka-chan anyway.

>>12052856
I'm not ready for any of the kais except Haruna.

>>12052856
oh? is her kai ni confirmed?

>>12052856
Imuya kai 2 when?

>>12052856
Mine is only 44, was training her together with Wagahai, but since they already confirmed Wagahai Kai Ni I shifted my priority to her first.
>>12052858
kurokuro's new Hiyou sprite gave me a false expectation to his newer work.

>>12052860
Jintsuu is only 60.

>>12052868
>kurokuro's new Hiyou sprite gave me a false expectation to his newer work.
Same. Well at least his faces look better now.

>>12052856
No, only lvl 7, maybe 55-60 same as Jintsuu.

i just raged scrapped all my destroyers i got instead of the haruna i was trying to farm, i hate the RNG in this game

>>12052876
If you raged at that, I think you better quit the game before the RNG destroys your soul.

>>12052833
I have 200k just to farm for this slut next week.

>>12052876
Why not just do LSC to get her.

>>12052879
i've been farming the whole week
THE WHOLE FUCKING WEEK

>>12052881
while this is mine, I'll just have to wait for musashi to be added later.

>>12052882
resource deprived trying to beat 2-4

>>12052883
This means nothing if you only play for an hour a day.
How many runs.

I wish LSC ships dropped in later maps of the event.

how do you guys do the 3-2 mutsuki quest anyway? kisaragi or mutsuki keep getting lolcrit even with lineaboob.

>>12052886
neet, 12 hours a day as many runs as my resources allow

>>12052888
Advanced in red

>>12052887
But anon imagine the tears of those who bragging about their LSC exclusive ships ahemTaihouahem.

Though if it indeed come true, probably at the boss at the farthest map.

>>12052888
Just keep trying and remember to sparkle them.
Don't listen to Wo >>12052890.

>>12052888
got red t cross at BB node, boss was cake.

>>12052889
Now sit back, don't do anything, gather as many resources as you can, then try to do the event maps, which will come in 3 days.
You may get all the ships you want there.
And farming for Kongou ships in world 2 is waste of time and resources.

>>12052889
You just need stop thinking about it, she will come one day.
Do never underestimate the power of desire sensor.

>>12052888
I'm still preparing Mutsuki for it

>>12052891
Who cares about people like that?

so much wo in this thread

>>12052895
would be nice if the RNG compass would let me finish 2-4 so i can unlock world 3

>>12052898
Re pls go back to Abyss base with Wo.

>>12052890
I tried, they went to the furniture coin instead.

>>12052901
It is 33%
Deal with it

>>12052889
>12 hours a day and still at 2-4
git gud

>>12052901
Kuso teitoku.

I never bothered to do the quest for sortie to world...and win that using this specific ships, and before I know it I don't have one or two of the ships because ship space.

So they're still there, unfinished.

>>12052905
What if these quests become requirement for new ships?

>>12052905
I finished my weeklies as well, so I'm doing it while running expedition to stockpile.

>>12052904
I would never allow akebono sink!

>>12052909
>I would never allow Akebono sink!
But you would let Kisaragi and Mutsuki sink?
That's still kuso.

>>12052905
i cleared those out of boredom before they added all the new weekly quests.
Also, that feel when is sunday and you get to World 2 boss kill quest, i always lose all interest in doing that quest since every side node is wasted time, and World 3-3/3-4 boss kill is not worth the time, wish it was only 2 kills like 5-2 quest, the reward is too low.

>>12052917
Where is your waifu and futon?

>>12052908
One of those was a requirement already to get the quests for Zuiuns with bonus-ASW.

>>12052920
waiting for Yamato lv99, only 28k exp left.

>>12052903
>implying i can control the RNG

>>12052908
I don't care.
>>12052908
>>12052917
I'm lazy to get them to decent level and modernize them to getting stronger, moreover if I will feed them to another ship at the end.

>>12052925
git gud

Is survey guy still around? We should make a survey before event start.

Like asking about admiral's readiness, are they believe the event will be very hard, stuff like that.

>>12052941
last one got trolled to the end of the world iirc

friendly reminder that this thread could lasts a week or more if everyone remember to sage.

>>12052956
Not really, sage doesn't work like that.

>>12052956
I used to sage pretty often, especially in /jp/ - but since our lord and savior moot hid it I don't even remember the feature. Fucking moot.

>In the coming update, a new system related to [Recon planes] will be added. Using [Scouting planes] and [Recon seaplanes] for scouting and making [contact] with the enemy will trigger a damage buff for air raid phase. In addition, [Observation planes] and [Recon seaplanes] will receive an ability called [hit analyze] that may trigger a special shelling phase during daytime battle.
I knew there was a reason they added recon planes to abyssal shipgirls besides cut-in to double-attack change.

>>12052981
I don't like where this is going.

>>12053019
They still have better fate than Asashio/Fubuki class who are most likely to get scrapped as soon as they pop up.

>>12053030

Yuubari is the best CL though.
