Of all the relevant ships you had to choose RJ again.

So how exactly does Akashi work?
Do I just leave scratch damage ships with her as flagship and she slowly repairs them overtime?

How do I craft Yamato search planes?
Except from Yamato from LSC.

Well that wasn't too bad, the fun start now.

Is day cut-in related to luck?
Is it finally Haruna's time to shine?

Green T affects air phase now?
I got crazy opening crits twice.

>>12061537
You don't

>>12061553
Yes you can. 20 10 10 20.

Since the thread is just starting, I wanted to warn you faggots to be careful with scratch damage. If you empty it without killing the flagship, you'll have to clear the map again.

>>12061553
Noo

For the last two E2 kills I'm bringing 2 flashlight.

>>12061559
Really?
I want to believe

Interesting, she actually dropped just by thinking her. Just 2 more bars to go before conquering E-3.

The torpedo damage lag is so annoying

>>12061548
No, one of the features of the recon planes. It is only available if you gain superiority/supremacy.

>>12061535
I tried testing it by putting her as flagship and a ship that took 1 damage in the same fleet for a few minutes, and it repairs the ship by itself. Didn't notice if it uses resources or not, not sure if it repair ships that are not in the same fleet too.

>>12061548
no, it's close to 100% for me

>>12061548
I've been tons of day cut-ins with Yamashiro. She's married, but her luck is still only 15, and at level 115 her LOS is comparable to my level 62 Tone and Chikuma, who barely ever get cut-ins. I'm hoping it's influenced by plane count so it can be the BBVs time to shine.

So anyone know how the repair girl works?
Can you repair ships mid sortie with her?
Is she actually useful?

>>12061585
Only for BBVs? Hyuuga always did double attack for me, but Mikuma not even once.

It's like August event and Fall event had sex and the result was this

You know things are bad when you start assuming your 1k buckets and 100k all res wont be enough, 20k gone and E2 still not cleared, fuck.

SAEGRIMR IS THE JANITOR YOU FAGGOTS

>>12061590
Day cut in sucks, you're better off with a double attack setup.

>>12061585
>>12061589
>>12061590
Well that's too bad, I thought it was because my Haruna keeps getting cut ins.

>>12061598
It still depends on the other equipment

>>12061598
It affects all ships, but I don't know what causes cut-in and what causes double attack.

You pathetic Jannydrones post in your retarded generals like nothing fucking happened.

Sometimes you are just unlucky

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm23396695

E-4 for reference. It's like venturing 3-2 all over again.

>>12061606
What exactly is a double attack set up, though? Unlike night battle double attack and cut-in don't appear to be mutually exclusive; you can get either as long as you have a recon plane.

>>12061602
>20k gone
Im scared
Im going to wait til people find out the right comps and shit for E2 before trying it out, I only have 50k resources because I was lazy

>>12061604
Do I really have to use damcons for this shit.

Don't know if anyone has seen this yet, but this site seems promising, although it is lacking.

http://jetri.co/kancolle/sortie/6-1

Also for those who are having weird bugs in KCV, be sure to clear your cache and try again.

>>12061629
red/red/radar/yamatoplane on my Kongou/Bismarck/CAV, always double attack. red/red/AP/yamatoplane on my Yamato, sometimes cut in, sometimes double attack.

Thread died, so here goes.

>>12061390
And this is the preboss node of E4.

>>12061624
Can't use CLs?

>>12061569
Yeah, it's not like it actually affects playing the game since you aren't manually controlling anything, but the choppiness is still obnoxious to watch.

>>12061567
I've gotten two Yamato planes in the past week while trying to build radars and/or other planes. Good thing too since at some point I accidentally scrapped my first couple along with some 1-star recon planes without realizing until way later.

>>12061645
You can. I've seen people using Yuubari.

>>12061602
I spent 20k fuel and 11k steel 17k ammo just to clear E-2

Shit is frustrating as fuck

>>12061654
That's good, because my Shimakaze and Beaver are both like lvl30.

>>12061656
Congrats. Whats your comp and any key equips you brought?

The night node has been taking me out the whole day.

>>12061636
Don't worry, it will send you to boss node as long as you have 300+ LOS. You'll reach boss node after every 10th try, which is easy as shit. Thats about 5 hours on duty.

My Suzuya and Kumano have been failing to day cut-in with 2 reds, 1 radar, and 1 seaplane.

What am I doing wrong?

>>12061602
I don't believe in the power of the searchlight. I get the pre-boss, flash my little light at them, and shwick shwick shwick boom.

>>12061669
2 red gives you double attack, 1 red 1 yellow gives you cut in

>>12061669
The cut-in isn't guaranteed. It's useless most of the time anyway, even if you have supremacy.

>>12061669
my Tone and Suzuya pretty much always cut-in with 1red, 1yellow, 1plane and 1radar

Those fucking torpedoes are driving me crazy.

>>12061671
My sides when I got 3 cut-ins up my ass while on the second run with it.

>>12061666
The night node was what was pretty much wrecking me

I switched between 3BB 3CV and 1CLT 2BB 3CV

I just watched someone clear it in a hour, the searchlight makes a huge difference for the night node while I didn't have one

Is the only way to get the Tone/Chikuma remodel thing the event or can I use the medal I already have some way?

>>12061654
Its RNG right?
Both preboss diversion and bauxite node diversion.

>>12061669
Try 2 red, one scout plane, one radar/sanshiki/drum whatever the fuck you want.

3rd time in row. Fuck that BB bitch

>>12061682
Your problem was bringing more than 3 CVs. My setup was BB 2 CA CLT 2 CV, and I only got critted once.

>>12061645
I'm not sure about that. Unless the map requires decent LOS and ships that could kill the sub, using CLs would seem possible.

After seven months and a half, I finally have Ooi. I can't even bring myself to care about Amatsukaze now, even though I like her design.

If I dropped dead right now, I would have died a content man.

Also, these struggling with E2 should find solace in that E3 is much less brutal than E2 and its 4 Elite CA node, and can be easily beaten with a 4BB/2CV setup. You should take care to ensure that you get air superiority for Darwin, since missing out on your daytime double attacks will cost you what would otherwise be a very clean kill. Around 200 FP is guaranteed to net you superiority at the boss node, even after accounting for the planes shot down on the way. Also be sure not to forget using your Reppu Kai.

I still don't get it.

Do I actually have to equip each single BB with a seaplane to launch double attacks? My Kongou seems to refuse to double attack while I always get double attacks from Nagato which is carrying a Yamato seaplane.

>>12061691
>more than 3
More than 2*, obviously.

>>12061686
bauxite node is random, there are rumors that you must get B rank or above at preboss to go to boss node.

>>12061696
Of course every ships need their own seaplane to trigger a double attack.

>>12061698
So support is pretty much given here.

>>12061696
Yes, no plane equipped = no new day-combat stuff.

>>12061701
Does it have to be a recon plane or can it be a seaplane bomber?

>>12061695
You forgot to mention sanshiki.

>>12061703
Support fleet doesn't work in night batle.

>>12061695
Ooi has error'd twice for me when I got her in the past. I don't really care for her despite OP CLT, but really, fuck you devs.

kancolle sucks

test

>>12061691
I think his problem is luck, not fleet composition. Yours is the precisely the set up I've been using and I've been turned back at the preboss 7 times out of 8.

>>12061696
>>12061701
>>12061706
Sometimes they share it, sometimes they don't. I had Kongou with no planes repeatedly double attack during the sortie, which ship which carried them only attacked normally.

>>12061708
Recon plane only, so only the common or rare type 0 seaplane.
Bomber won't do jack shit.

Anyone uses saiun for LOS? My squad dont seem to meet the LOS threshold unless my CVs have one.

>>12061712
Then I guess my 50+ fails in LSC did pay off.

>>12061709
Yeah, my bad. She takes bonus damage from it a la Henderson, so if you go with 4BBs and a 46cm/46cm/sanshiki/seaplane setup on each, there's no way you aren't flooring her.

>>12061709
I thought you were talking about E-3. My bad.
>>12061716
Obviously. At least 1 saiun is a given.

>>12061716
Im using 4 saiuns here for E1
Anything less wont allow me to get to the boss node for some reason

Going 3CLT, 2CV, 1 BB

>>12061716
I don't use Saiuns.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm23395842
E-5 seems terrible

>>12061734
>CLT
There's your problem. Tones have base 79 LOS compared to CLTs' 35+, this is the perfect place for them.

Has anyone gone to G node on E-1?

>>12061739
I ignored the tones and leveled Maya instead.
Going to level one after beating E3 (Or E4) because her new remodel is super cute

>>12061738
What do we get out of beating e-5 again?

>>12061667
I was turned away from the boss with 302 LOS. 360+ always brought me to the boss. 4BB/V + 2CV seems to easily hammer through E-2. This setup also worked with seaplanes on everyone though.

>>12061746
Tone only
Nigga, you gay.

>>12061750
The last agano

>>12061750
Sakawa and 2 medals.

crap.. I finally done e-2
at least it still cost less than 9k fuel ammo.

E-2 cleared with 6k/3k/4k/500 spent, 30 buckets.
I tried some retarded compositions that got diverted from boss node twice, could have done with 1k less loss at least.
Can you get cheaper than that?

>>12061754
I was so astonished I forgot to greentext. Just look at this, mate, don't you want to snuggle in her motherly breasts?

Now I'm REALLY excited for Midway.

>>12061762
What did you put on that Mikuma?

>>12061754
>>12061764
Biggest improvement ever.

>>12061764
Too saggy, get a bra.

>>12061762
Do you keep your CVs empty?

>>12061768
>Now I'm REALLY excited for Midway.
Fuck midway
If E4 and E5 are like this then I dont want to imagine how bullshit midway is going to be

>>12061768
20.3 gou + yellow + Yamaplane + Seiran in my last try, she always did cut-in.

>>12061773
No? Reppu kai + 2 Reppu is enough for supremacy on all nodes.

So how are you not losing any bauxite?

>>12061762
I did almost the same setup and I lost 20k fuel/ammo.

>>12061782
Torpedo bombers cost the most, and you don't want to bring them in the event. Even after 10 runs of E1, 8 runs of E2 and 20 runs of E3 with 2 fully equipped CVs I only lost about 5k.

Finished E-1 to E-3 with ~20k fuel/ammo, ~12k steel, and ~6k bauxite. How much did you guys spend?

>>12061782
Ex6 and some quests I guess while I had to wait for some fatigue, maybe 1.5k total loss then, I also visited baux node twice too.

>>12061782
I only lost 2k bauxite so far up to e4 bringing only fighters and bombers.

>>12061790
20k fuel, 15k ammo, 20k steel, 10k bauxite.

>>12061788
2 fully equiped CV with torpedo bombers?

>>12061790
how do you do e-3?

>>12061797
With no torpedo bombers. I was more focused on getting air supremacy.

>>12061798
4BB, 2CV

>>12061790
2BB 1CAV 3CV with boss support, 7 runs 6 kills.

>>12061706
That's odd. Can I not have flashlight equipped if I wanna double attack in daytime battle?
46cm 46cm Type 0 and Flashlight doesn't let my Kongou do the double attacks most of the time.

>>12061798
Either bring boss support, or go 4BB 2CV, all BBs must have sanshikis.

>>12061798
I did everything with 1CVT/2BB/1BBV/2CV.

Do you guys run support expedition?

>>12061798
4 Kongou with Sanshiki and 2 CV.

>>12061809
Probably not until e-5 and even then rather not

>>12061803
10 runs technically, retreated 3 times on sub node because of those retarded crits.

>>12061809
It's too expensive for regular maps.

>>12061804
No idea, I don't use flashlights.

>>12061764
her elbow looks like it's backwards

>>12061795
>>12061790
I just finished E2.
Please give tips for E3, if there is anything other than these
>>12061802
>>12061805
>>12061811
>>12061808

E1 to E2 overall:6k fuel,5k ammo, 7k steel, 3k baux,100ish bucket

>>12061804
I get double attacks with Kirishima with flashlight.

>>12061754
>>12061764
Fuck, my Tone is lvl 70 exactly (via almost nothing but practice battles over the span of months) but I've gotten rid of every Chikuma that drops for a long time now. I only keep a few CAs to begin with, still waiting for Aoba to get the Kai-2 she deserves.

Of course I have to clear E-1 and E-2 just to have enough medals for Tone alone, since I didn't even touch 5-5.

>>12061824
No. I wish there was, but only BBs can survive long enough to kill the boss.

>>12061824
Pray.

>>12061809
I just throw in a 2DD2CV support, it's dirt cheap anyhow.

But then I do all my PvP with a 5BB1CA fleet, so take that with a grain of salt.

Guys was that ABDA fleet based on the historical one? I cant find any info about it.

>>12061824
I found E3 to be easier due to lack of night battle troll node, it just takes more resources.

>>12061834
american british dutch australia?

>>12061829
>>12061830
Oh shit, compass troll is there, isn't it?

So to hunt for Tanikaze, E3 is best?

>>12061839
Not really, it's just that the first node has red SSs, while the preboss one has both elite BBs.

>>12061830
>>12061829
Is Nagato okay, with 3 Kongou class as 4BB?

>>12061834
>can't find any info about it
literally google ABDA.

But yes, the battle was historical. in real life, however, ABDA was poorly organized, unaware of Japanese capabilities and their ships outdated, so it was a curbstomp.

Of course, we're japan so it has to be a big battle.

>>12061843
Slow fleet might direct you to troll node, but I'm not sure.

>>12061790
20k fuel, 15k ammo, 20k steel and 4k bauxite. Now wondering about the extra maps.

>>12061843
Yeah, I've brought lvl 50 Mutsu along.

After doing day cut-ins your ship "flies away", I can't stop laughing.

>>12061837
Yea, all I know one of DDs was HMS/HMAS Electra. But that's it.

>>12061849
No, you only get to the rightmost node if your LOS is low (tested repeatedly with subs).

Any info on drops, beside Tanikaze?

>>12061849
I brought Fuso and Hyuga. Slow ships are alright.

>>12061842
The BB node is in ring formation. The sub node is actually the worst issue

>>12061859
Hamakaze, Hatsukaze, Maruyu, Maikaze, all the usual holos.

>>12061859
Tittykaze drops on e-2 boss node, so far that's the rare one besides tanikaze

>>12061859
Nagato at E2 boss here.

>>12061859
E-1 Hatsukaze lel

>>12061859
Zuihou Hatsukaze E-1

>>12061859
E1 boss drops Zuihou.

>>12061832
>take that with a grain of salt
But that's the most logical thing way to handle PvP, assuming you actually want to level those ships and aren't just tossing them in for no reason. Better to use the expensive ships in PvP and the cheap ones for sorties.

I mostly use CAs in practice battle since they're a bitch to level otherwise, but I leveled Yamato to 65 entirely with practice battle over the past couple weeks

>>12061863
You're right, but it also has carriers which benefit from the formation.

how does akashi works anyway?

>>12061859
Hamakaze drops on E-3 Boss node.

>>12061900
read the thread

>>12061829
Do you need all 4 to have seaplanes?

>>12061915
I really recommend it.

>>12061915
Yes

>>12061853
>>12061842
>>12061830
>>12061829
>>12061849
First kill!

6 kill or seven?

Also Hatsukaze from E2,Maruyu from E1.

Oh wow, I only just realized that I can see names and comments while playing with API link now.

>>12061925
Just keep trying. Scratch damage also works.

>>12061926
Pretty neat they did that. This update would be perfect if they had added some new furniture, but I'll gladly bat an eye on that

Why did I not train my BBs... HQ Lvl 102, but my BBs are still in their 30s, besides Kongou and Hiei at 75.

>>12061935
That's reserved for next maintenance.

>>12061913
ah shit.. I got blind. found it.
better take some rest

>>12061937

This is what happens when you don't love all your ships.

So, any recommendations for E4 besides node support?

>>12061946
If only there was a BB with DFC. I blame my disease.

>>12061951
I don't know how much that will help you, but if you have a lot of buckets then try using as many DDs as possible. They are so cheap, you'll notice your buckets decreasing but your other resources not so much.

All the pvp exp will be gone with the Akashi repair thing.

>>12061925
358 LOS at total by the way.

>>12061931
Thanks

Fuck yeah. At this point, I don't know if I should try E-4 and spend real money to purchase a lot of repair goddess.

>>12061951
Doing it right now, following >>12061624 set-up sank the boss 3 times so far.
Just pray that super wo doesn't taiha 2 of your dds and you should be fine.

>>12061964
Oh, I missed that. Thanks.

>>12061859
I've being farming Maruyuus for past 7 hours, E1. ~50 sorties, 2 maruyuus. Much more efficient then spamming LSC.

>>12061963
is that with support fleet?

So has anyone extracted/uploaded the BGM music for this event?

So for E-1, as long as you have some form of LOS plane, fleet composition doesn't matter much?

>>12061811
>>12061805
How rare are sanshikis? I don't have any. Does 10/90/90/30 give the highest chance?

So what are you people using on your CVs?

Goodbye 3-4.

Well my API link can't play the sounds. Cashe cleared, options checked, nothing.

>>12061982
I think 2BB or 2CV takes you to the north path, which has 2SS.

Wow, so E-5 is a fucking trophy ship again? Not falling for this one again, I'll just craft it in LSC a month later.

I refuse to believe people who say they never got to red on the troll night battle on E-2

E-2 is driving me insane. 2BB 1CAV 2CV 1CLT fleet, I have no problem whatsoever with boss when I get to her but last 10 runs in a row I've gotten fucked on second or preboss night battle node. I don't think an enemy ship has even targeted the searchlight user yet, just everyone else.

>>12061990
KCV?

>>12061979
No support fleet. The only threat in this map was the elite subs, which could fuck up your fleet royally. Otherwise, it's much easier than E-2.

>>12061995
Just like Musashi, am I right?

>>12061999
I had more luck passing the node without flashlight than with it hah.

>>12062004
You cant compare a BB to a CL

>>12061999
From that picture posted on the last thread, 2 CVs, 3 BBs and whatever you want is guaranteed to get you to the boss node every time, but at the cost of losing an extra node's worth of fuel.

>>12062004
except for the part where musashi is actually useful

>>12062004
Are you seriously fucking comparing Musashi with Agano class? I have still to use my Yahagi a single time despite leveling her to 70.

>>12062000
Nope, simple flashplayer. Got "new" loading ship screen, it's basically the normal one with reversed colors if it helps somehow

Cleared E2 fairly easily. Picked up a Tanikaze at the boss as well. Got sent to the W bauxite node about 4 times, and returned to port pre-boss node due to red damage maybe 3 times.

Time Taken: 1:22:42
Resources spent: 5187/3519/4696/1155 and used around 35 buckets.

Fleet:
125 Haruna: Two 46cms, Type 22 and 33 radar
93 Kongou K2 / 89 Nagato: Two 46cms, Two Type 22 radars
76 Kirishima K2: One 46cm, Searchlight, Type 22 radar
73 Kingusa K2: 20.3cm rare red, Seaplane, Sanshiki, 15.5cm yellow
73 Kaga: 12a, Reppu, Ryuusei Kai, Saiun
54 Shoukaku / 53 Zuikaku: Ryuusei Kai, 12a, Reppu Kai, Reppu

>>12062013
Same but my sounds work fine.

>>12062013
It's not new at all.

E-2, node D.
Line ahead? Because if green T, the enemy BB either misses or someone goes to red.

>>12062011
A few months ago nobody would have called Musashi exactly useful. Maybe CLs will shine soon too.

>>12062013
Did you try getting a new API link? I'm using flashplayer too and everything works fine. Though it's a little choppy while still being fast, don't know if that's how it is for everyone or just flashplayer.

E3 boss node S-rank drop
Goya

>>12062026
I used double line

>>12061992
Got sent to NE node with this setup
1BB 2CA 2CVL 1CL

Is this just usual compass trolling or is this another "fast fleet onry" map.

>>12062027
Only complete morons called Yamato class useless, they obviously got told but it's not like that wasn't expected. CL's on the other hand, absolutely useless outside of CLT's.

>>12062030
I get it too after a while, reloading makes it a bit smoother.

So how much LOS do you need to get to the boss node in E2?

>>12062038
Wrong. NE is the best possible route, and you'll only get redirected to J if your LOS is not high enough.

>>12062046
Exactly 300 is fine, but I haven't tried any lower.

>>12062046
350 and upwards worked for me, but a bit below that I got turned away

>>12062038
Ignore my reply, I'm sleepy.

>>12062003
oh thanks, its not that hard but there's still lolcrit.

>>12062048
J? E-1 only has 8 nodes not counting where you start and NE node is a dead end dud. No enemies, resources nothing.

Naganami, e-3 boss

How many reppu do I need for E-3?

>>12062049
>>12062051
So 300-350?

And what are you people equipping your CVs with?

>>12062074
Red and reppus.

Thank god I didn't spam lsc for her

>>12062074
Kaga/Taihou
12A,Reppu,Reppu Kai, yellow /
Reppu Reppu 12A Type 62 or whatever, that red holo that gives a bit of AA and FP

>>12062074
I started at the end of last month, so all stock kai equipment (mainly dive bombers and type 52 fighters) except a single Saiun.

Done with E-4. Boss sure liked to drop subs, 3 Goya and 2 Imuya from it.
Time to suffer at E-5.

I still didn't get my head around this daytime DA/cut-in bonus.
Sometimes ships that are clearly equipped for DA do cut-in. Sometimes nothing triggers for a certain ship, even though all conditions are met.

>Cut-ins are useless on CAV
Who ever said that is an idiot. My Kumano just oneshotted a yellow Wo from full hp and every single attack she makes is a cut-in.

>>12062112
What formation do you use for preboss, line aboob?

>>12062112
What formations and equips did you use to even manage to get to the boss with that much HP? Also what DD level? I've already wasted 2 damekons and only killed the boss once.

>>12062083
Which map?

>>12062133
E-2 boss node S rank

>>12062138
Thanks, looks like I'll be there for a while then.

Line aboob for Wo node and hope DD evasion kicks in, worked most of the time for me unless I got T-crossed.
Ise equipped with 2x 46cm and 2x Seiran, DDs all have Type 3 sonar and depth charge plus damecon.

So how much air superiority should I aim for before trying E2?
Have 222 right now but not sure if thats enough

>>12062038
CVLs count as CVs in this case.

Have anybody tried E-4 with CLs instead of DDs? Kuma-tier armor in double line will turn everything that node might throw into scratch damage.

>>12062153
Yeah, I bring Jintsuu and Isuzu instead of Shigure and Shimakaze. They might be the reason why I get sent to the second SE node (harder subs), but I usually leave it with only scratch damage. They can take out the DDs in Wo node, too.

>>12062146
See the air superiority calculator in the OP; it's already been updated through E-3

>>12062170
It was updated already?
Wow those guys work fast

I didn't see how sanshiki helps dealing damage on E-3chan. Everybody seems to hit her for around the same.

2 Weeks to get the goods? Is this enough time for beginner and casual admirals?

>>12062176
Hyuuga -> 60
Haruna -> 130, 300 at night

>>12062183
Oh maybe that's why, I haven't gone into night battle yet. The game cat'd me.

So...

CLT with 2 20.3 3gou + minisub or BB with 2 46, radar and recon 0?

E-2, the rest is Tone, 2BB with above setup, 2CV

That was weird, did they change something with ASW (like maybe making sonar + depth charge actually necessary)? Yuubari with two type 3 sonar in ring formation could barely scratch the flagship Ka at second node of E-1 (Meanwhile KTKM with no ASW equip at all critted it for 17 damage). Back when I did 5-3 Yuubari could one-shot the flagship Yo in an identical setup.

>>12062196
2 BB is overkill.

Could it possibly be more worth it to run seaplanes on CLT instead of mini sub?

>>12062202
No, Double Attack on day battle doesn't use the same damage formula. CLT will deal crappy damage.

>>12062202
Maybe if you can get torpedo-cut ins in day battles.

Is the reward data from wikiwiki correct? That's very disappointing.

>>12062208
The Day Time whatevers are generally considered a buff to CA/CAVs right?

Obviously BBs get a huge buff too.

>>12062212
Disappointing indeed. I was expecting wedding rings.

>>12062212
Reppu Kai is pretty cool. It's no Shinden though I guess.

>>12062199
Even 2? Really?

>>12062212
Don't forget that next month the maps will reward something else.

>>12062218
Polygamy is not ok.

>>12062230
You can do it pretty cheaply, but even with 4bb and 2cv I got shot into orange on 4 ships

Well, at least she isn't crying that bad.

>>12062236
What would a cheaper setup be? CLT + 2CA(V) + BB(V) + 2CV?

329 LOS on E-1 and got sent to deadend node my first run, well fuck. Guess I'll try replacing Ooi with Tone for an extra 35.

>>12062246
Nice.

For E-2, I think the LoS req is either 350 or less, but more than 320.
With this setup, and 358 LoS, I never missed the boss node

>>12062247 see >>12061753

>>12062252
I've been make it consistently to E-2 boss node with an LOS of 319 though

>>12062255
That's exactly why I posted that 358 is enough, therefore the cutoff is most certainly not 360+

I know this is old, but I've been checking archives and got a bit lost. But what were the ranking rewards for March? I know top 500, got a Zuiun 12 and 20.3 Gou.

But what did the truNEETs get?

Anyone else notice that Kancolle 1.2 is now more resource intensive?

If I keep it running for a long time, it slows down noticeably. I really should upgrade my toaster.

>>12062260
A slightly better but still useless bomber floatplane

Does anyone else having freezing problems when using KCV? Seems like the only way I can solve it is using a very old version, but that one has no stats now.

>>12062252
Wikiwiki suggest the idea that LOS from equips and LOS from ship's natural stats are counted in different ways (linear/root) - I think that makes more sense than a total sum check, especially if they want to boost the use of LOS equips like seaplanes and shit.

Can you use E2 to farm bauxite?
Like use a sub fleet or a fleet made to hit the bauxite node every time

So do you need red guns on CAs rather than yellow 15.5 in order to get daytime double attack? Hiei with 2x46cm, T14 radar, Yamato plane gets double attack nearly every time, but Tone with 2x15.5cm, T14 radar, Yamato plane never does.

>>12062275
Yeah, I'm guessing it's probably like ASW equip counting for more than base stat. I seemingly had plenty of LOS from high level ships + carriers naturally high stat, but only after I used an extra seaplane did the compass work for me.

>>12062264
No slowdown, just choppy as fuck from the very start.

>>12062275
I wish they would stop doing this, or at least change the way the final number is displayed on the stat screen.

You have a ship with 40 base ASW with a Type 3 Sonar equipped, so here's a number 50 that doesn't mean anything at all. And now they're introducing compass rigging with similar nonsense.

Is it possible to dodge the night battle in E-2? All the enemies cut-ins hurt.

Ah fuck, I totally forgot to finish my monthly extra sorties before refreshing my API, just missed out on 2 medals, erggh... Why can't I just buy them straight from the store.

>>12062264
A little. Restarting seems to fix it temporarily.

>>12062258
I just said 360 because some anon said it earlier in the last thread. I think exact numbers I had were 302 (no carriers or battleships) and 374 (in the picture).

>>12062256
Weird.

>>12062295
Not possible. Just pray that they don't cut in. Last time they wrecked Kaga and Taihou from full HP

>>12062296
>I totally forgot to finish my monthly extra sorties before refreshing my API, just missed out on 2 medals
What? Explain.

fffuuu, I scrapped all my recon planes a week ago or so after I went on a rare plane crafting binge.

>>12062288
You need exactly two red guns for double attack.
Having any of the following will make it a cut-in
- yellow guns
- AP ammo (this is pretty retarded)
(not sure about torp)

>>12062295
Doesn't seem like it, and search light does nothing.

>>12062304
You weren't going to complete the event anyway.

>>12062303
If you keep using the same API, the monthly event medals don't reset.

>>12062307
>>12062295
>>12062301
That said, wjat is the best formation to take there? Ech? Double line? Diamond?

>>12062315
Formations haven't done anything for me other than killing subs.

>>12062295
I used to use double line in night battles but now when I choose double line, my formation is displayed as line ahead. Not sure if bug. I still pick double line anyway, as it seemed to work.

>>12062315
Whichever one you think will best please the RNG gods. Go grab a box of matchsticks and dump on the floor. Whatever formation they most resemble, go with that.

>>12062315
Would like to know this as well. I've been getting rekt nonstop at that fucking node for the last dozen runs, my blood is about one degree away from literally boiling from sheer hatred.

>>12062312
Completed all the events so far ktnx.

>>12062321
Does anyone know the exact differences when you use Blueprint to Kai a Tone-class/Bismarck vs getting to Lv70?

>>12062321
I've been doing much better with double line than line ahead. Just cleared it with that last three runs all going to the boss.

>>12062325
Sorry, didn't mean to quote anyone.

>>12062325
you need a blueprint regardless.

>>12062325
You can't Kai 2/Zwei at all without blueprints. Level 70 is the minimum level needed for Tone-class, with blueprints. Level 50 for Bismarck.

>>12062333
where do you get the blueprint? I have enough medals but I don't see any blueprint in the shop.

>>12062337
From what I hear, when you have 4 medals and select to use it it gives an option to turn into blueprint.

>>12062337
Read the fucking wiki.

>>12062337
Click on them on the item page and a popup window will appear.

>>12062333
>>12062334
4 medals each too? Now I really regretting not getting medals from last month.

What are medals used for?

>>12062346
Use them for resource

>>12062346
Consume for resources.

I want to recommend to all the other people out there who have their kancolle running at shitty speeds, since the recent update. aka, the eventual slowdowns.

If you are already using KCV and to set the Flash Window (in browser settings) to DirectX. By default, there is no hardware acceleration in IE. I'm not sure about other browsers flash.

You can also set the quality of the flash to Low.

>>12062314
So you forgot to do that last month?

>>12062354
As in, I still had last month's event active this month, and had a few more runs to finish them both. But I accidentally reset my API, when checking if the update was out and wasted my extended run from last month.

>>12062338
And now I'm afraid to try it considering how many Wo we have here.

So Akashi does not work mid-sortie, right?

My favourite change of this update, is when modernizing ships, if you go back to the list, it no longer takes you back to page 1.

>>12062363
Those arent called Wo, they're called retards that think they're being funny or hilarious.

>>12062360
Does that by any chance have anything to do with the api starttime given with the api link I wonder. It's a really weird way that they've tied in the monthly sorties.

>>12062374
My favorite is how fast resupplying is.

>>12062374
>>12062381
My favourite is how fast scrapping is.

And we're back

Anyone's KCV's highlighted selection (normally blue) turning orange? I like it better that way.

E4 drops Hachi.

Worse than compass fairies. I keep bringing her along thinking that maybe I've just been chronically unlucky, maybe I need a bigger sample size, maybe if I don't bring her along every ship will do a cut-in instead of just two or three, maybe this time I won't be forced to turn back. Nope. Biggest lie since the Holocaust.

moot needs to get his shit together.

Has anyone gotten down the exact requirements on day cut-ins/double attack? I can't find anything except information on night battles on wikiwiki.

MOOT

Still can't not get hit to red on the pre-boss node at E-2. Is there really no other way than to use double line and hope to get lucky?

To that guy making a shirt that says "I've finished Kancolle Spring Event and all I got was a Lousy CL" do you have a working design already and can I order one as well?

E1 - E3
how much did you guys burn?

18k fuel, 12k ammo, 23k steel, 2k baux, 66 bucket

>>12062408
double line + flashlight on kongou class BB + get lucky

Hiryuu drops in E2 for anyone interested

It's sad how absolutely useless Kumano and Suzuya are going to be now since they're outclassed in every single way by Tone class CAVs.

>>12062411
still working on e-3 and I'm up to
20k fuel, 30k steel 34k ammo and only about 4k bauxite
been using 4BB, 2 CV for e-1 and e-2 and switched Kongou with Yamato for E-3

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm23396885

Clutch end game whilst proposing to Bismarck shortly after. Best TTK I've ever witnessed so far.

>>12062409
For what purpose? To impress your tumblr friends with your canned kool-aid rep?

>>12062409
I want to see this shirt, it would be hilarious stuff

>>12062403
Does seaplane+radar+2 reds setup guarantee double attack?

Any casualties from recent kancolle update?

Now that the fleet's status is updated after advancing to the next node, doing sortie with less than 3 ships is more dangerous.

>>12062394
Aaand done. Wasted 60+ buckets and a little bit of resources.

>>12062430
>Now that the fleet's status is updated after advancing to the next node, doing sortie with less than 3 ships is more dangerous.
Does that mean you can no longer F5 scum away from battles?

>>12062432
what fleet?

>>12062411
16k fuel, 13k ammo, 20k steel, 7k bauxite and 113 buckets used.
Gonna take a couple of days to get more resources before doing E4, don't feel like using damecon.

>>12062427
You also need air superiority

>>12062427
>>12062439
So is AP Ammo obsolete now? Apparently it causes cut-in instead of double attack. Does Sanshiki have the same effect?

>>12062436
Just use BBV/5DD fleet with damage control just in case. E-4 is easier than E-1. I cleared it without using even one damage control.

>>12062441
>Apparently it causes cut-in instead of double attack
That's a good thing on Nagato

>>12062422
Every single ship including the ones used in the support fleets married. Damn they really hate money.

>>12062445
You used damecon on E-1?

>>12062445
I still get 1hit to red sometimes, kinda frustrating.
also thanks.

>>12062436
BBV 4DD, Isuzu K2. Keep in mind that the minimum LOS required for the map is 200. Also, I think devs fixed turbines, because they helped me considerably.

so-class sub gave me cancer

>>12062441
Sanshiki leaves it as double attack, dunno about AP ammo

I've been sending my Kiso on 1-5-1 runs nonstop and her fatigue has not dropped below 47. Did they make it regen while in sorties or something?

>>12062454
On E-4. It has BBs and CVL there, so getting red DDs isn't a surprise.

>>12062445
How do you load your ships? Especially the balance between AA, ASW and LOS.

>>12062463
Yup.

>>12062461
using AP gives me cut-ins
>>12062458
I should try turbine then.

I really wish killing ships in the opening strike didn't just mean that the enemy wos get to attack earlier.

>>12062469
That explains it. Time for more endless grinding.

>>12062459
Can't wait for Su-class DD.

>>12062468
BBV with full Zuiuns and rest with ASW sonar/charge+damage control.

>>12062468
Go full ASW and pray. If your DDs are too young, put a surface radar on one of them.

>>12062408
If you're still there, I started using Echelon and somehow the CA cut-ins started doing scratch damage even to my Maya.

>>12062480
>>12062481
line aboob all the way?

I'll resume e-4 once I'm done with dailies that gives bucket

>>12062411
25k fuel, 13k ammo, 28k steel, 5k bauxite and about 100 buckets. E-2 pre-boss and E-3 line ahead subs nodes were hell.

Is E3 harder or easier than E2?

All the nodes in E2 are super easy except for boss node and the bullshit preboss night battle node.

>>12062489
Yup.

>>12062435
No, and i don't know why you needed F5 anyway (for 2-3 sub fleet).
If anything, it would force TTK to advance to the compass, check the condition, and F5 rather than just check the condition and click on the retreat button.

So, Yamato seaplane recipe, CV flagship 10/10/21/20 or 20/10/10/20 ?

>>12062458
Equipment setup? Also, did that give direct to boss (ACDH)?

>>12062491
depends, but e-2 was harder due to that night node.
>>12062492
thanks.

>>12062408

Echelon.

I cleared E-2 with under 3k fuel 2k ammo 3k steel and 1k baux used.

Aside from troll night node which is mitigated with flashlight + echelon, the rest of E-2 is hilariously pathetic, including the boss node.

>>12062498
BBV had 46x2 and Zuiun 634x2. Everyone else: DC, sonar, and another sonar or a turbine.

>>12062491
Roughly the same imo
1st node has two red sub
3rd has golden Wo and 2 golden BBs
Boss has two golden BBs and 380HP

Although 4 Kongous (all double attack and three with sanshiki) and 2 CV has managed to kill her three times in a row for me

line ahead subs are the stupidest fucking thing ever

>>12062504
Can you send me some your flashlights, because mine aren't working.

>>12062510
Just replace the batteries

>>12062510

Mine didn't work very well either actually, but I toss them on for the placebo.

On my last run, all 4 ships that survived to shoot on the enemy fleet all targetted Kirishima... when Kongou was the one carrying the flashlight.

Fortunately echelon caused her to take scratch damage from everything and 15 damage from the cut in.

>>12062510
I have fleshlight, will it work?

Is there an explanation on how Akashi works? I put her as a flagship of a fleet with scratch damage, but the magic doesn't seem to happen.

>>12062522

She repairs something like 1-2 hp every 20? minutes. You just leave her there, yeah.

>>12062524
Pfft.

>>12062524
The wiki says that Akashi can repair ships mid sortie, is that true or is it bullshit?

My zuikaku keep getting oneshotted at 2nd stage night boss. Should I use nachi? its my next highest lvl.

>>12062527

It's bullshit.

>>12062527
I wonder if you can send her on expeditions with fucked ships and have her repair them during the time.

>>12062509
Said the abyss fleet at world 2 and at 5-3

After this update, do I really have to put full-fledged carriers for PvP?

>>12062534
Supposedly using her is more expensive than the regular method, so I don't think it's a good idea.

>>12062539

Source? It's really hard to tell how much resource she consumes since there's no visual indicator for her effect.

>>12062535
The tables have turned!

Did CLTs get a debuff?

Is it just me, or do radar + seaplane cut ins do shit damage?

>>12062537

You might, I got rekt today by other fleets (2 losses) for my exercises. I wouldn't do anything but put a fuckton of Saiuns though.

Stop making boy ships DMM! I fucking mean it.

>>12062557
Poor girl, she's the E5 reward but no one wants her or thinks she's worth it.

>>12062557
not a boy, she's just fake agano

>>12062550
I dunno. Tone was doing decent damage with cutins at E-1 and E-2, then they started hitting for scratch damage on E-3.

What's the best CAV setup right now? Are bomber planes worth using?

>>12062548
No, everything else just feels stronger with the recon mechanic. Unless you mean they can't snipe anything that's flagship tier in E-2 then we have the same problem.

>>12062560
inb4 E6 a week later with a ship actually worth farming, dropping only in E5.

>>12062557
That one at least has breasts. I can look at her and think, "boyish girl." Z1, meanwhile, is totally a dude. I know she's a girl, but all I can see is a little boy no matter how hard I try.

>>12062560
Don't worry, I'll get her. And then I'll marry her.

>>12062560

Is it confirmed that she's the E-5 reward? Or just speculation based on E-4 not rewarding her.

>>12062564

I'm using 20.3cm(no.3) + 15.5cm secondaries x2 + Recon

Dunno if it's the best setup but it gives a cut-in.

>>12062552
Shit. I'll just put flagship + 5 SS, then hope night battle favors my fleet.

>>12062567
They can just make Zunship drop in E5

>>12062567
I can see this happening, the devs are dicks like that

>>12062570
confirmed

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm23396885

>>12062567
It's like reverse Fall Event! I'd do it only if they also make LSC exclusives drop there for that time period only.

E-1 drops Yukikaze at boss node for those who still don't have her.

>>12062567
just make taihou drop there

I like that the faster speed of the game makes the battles more intense. I think the portraits shake more violently when they get hit too.

>>12062582
Majority of the people wont bother doing it, and the one's that are missing Taihou are most likely be unable to clear E5 anyways.

>>12062588
I'd take E5 runs over fucking LSC any time of the day.

Anyone think the loading bar and circle to be a little distracting and out of place?

>>12062598
No, not at all.

>>12062598
Distracting
yes.
I'm fine with the placement.

>>12062588
Hey no fuck you, I'll bring double support fleets if I have to, I'm not going back to that hell ever again.

>>12062588
The main problem isn't even Taihou, it's 400 LOS requirement.

Am I the only one who thinks that Akashi is absolutely useless? I can't remember the last time I've used repair without a bucket.

>>12062606
They said she would be getting more features later

>>12062605
>400 LOS requirement

ＳＨＩＴ！
Sakawa is so not worth it

>>12062606
I do, but they did say she can repair multiple ships at once so she'll be most likely be babysitting my subs right after 2-3 dailies.

>>12062607
Just like how haruna will be getting her kai ni?

>>12062611
No bullying, Haruna is daijobu even without her kai ni

>>12062611
Are we still doing this? It's been confirmed she's getting one after they have Konishi clean up his act. Leave it to 4chan to run a joke to the fucking ground.

Will you guys bother finishing E-5?

My 290k+ resources are begging to be spent.

>>12062611
>blueprint required for Haruna Kai Ni
This will be the next big announcement.

>>12062628
Just about to try it out.

>>12062566
>Unless you mean they can't snipe anything that's flagship tier in E-2 then we have the same problem.
Yeah that.

>>12062634
No fuck that
I want to spend my medals on bismarck and tone kai2, I dont want to have to blow 4 medals for haruna when the other 3 kongous had free Kai2s

What fleet is best for a boss support expedition? This is my first time using one
6 DDs?

>>12062634
More like every kai ni requires a blueprint from now on

You wouldn't fuck an wo.

>>12062648
I'd fuck her up with heavy ordinance.

What's up with all the error-chans? She keeps popping up all over the place.

>>12062648
I totally would. Wo a qt.

>>12062656
Haven't seen a single one

>>12062656
Server?

Do you sparkle your ships before doing the event?

>>12062667

I don't since fatigue was nerfed so hard. I haven't gotten orange faces despite clearing E-1 and E-2 in one sitting each.

>>12062667
I might do it for E-5, but right now I'm doing fine.

But well, sparkle runs are going to be retardedly fast now that they upgraded the game speed so much.

>>12062665
宿毛泊地 (Sukumo)
Cleared my cache earlier, but maybe I just need to clear it again or something.

For CVs should I just be using Reppus and Saiuns?

Is Echelon the strongest defensive formation or line abreast?

Would you do an island?

It's her, the E-5 slut boss.

Fuck sanshiki. 10/90/90/30 being 8% my ass.

I've spent more ammo and bauxite on trying to craft this shit than I did clearing E-1 and E-2.

>>12062685
Who's your flagship? I swapped out between a few different BBs and managed to snag 2 out of maybe 20 tries.

>>12062682
Fuck I wish I had people to play this with. Raping everyone with the Aichi-Val was so much fun.

>>12062685
Good thing I still have my leftovers from fall and Hiei then.

Do they deal bonus damage to E-5 chan as well?

What is the reason for the preboss node at E2 to force you to use vertical?
Formation doesnt mean shit for yasen?

>>12062394
Wow, I spent weeks trying to craft her.

>>12062691
I've swapped between Kongou, Kirishima, Haruna, and Nagato. Only gotten one so far out of something like 70 tries.

>>12062682

Look at how wide she's spreading.

>>12062701
I've seen wider.
