>>12082752
So, when is the Midway?

So, are you keeping your ships safe this event?

>>12082759
Always.
Have been playing long, but I never risk red damaged girls. Zero sinkings and I want to keep it that way.

>>12082759
It's a good thing that nobody in /jp/ sank his ships thus far.

>>12082759
>4 repair fairies

>>12082775
I scrapped a level 80 Imuya to make space

>>12082784
Too much, try something more believable

>>12082787
She was a disgusting Imuya Kai

Having said that, the subs will probably send me home at the first node.

can i get a hotel /jp/

>>12082821
Which attempt is this?
Anything less than your 50th, no dice.

>>12082816
>Support fleets.
Why? That main fleet is good enough. Just remember to slap sanshiki on those BBs.

>>12082823
would be my first

>>12082824
What I lose in fuel and ammo I save in buckets and steel.

With all the new ships popping out when are the devs going to expand the ship limit?

or they still want to hate our money...

>>12082828
They've expanded it multiple times, it's like 190 or some shit up from 150.

>>12082828
You only need 140 slots to have one of each girl as of this event.

>>12082829
>>12082831
I mean for the ones not hating their money, guess they're getting the short end of the stick?

>>12082832
Yes, stop being poor and work.

>>12082827
244/472 spent on support, in exchange, I have nothing but scratch on my fleet. The fleet has gotten blown out before.

If nothing else I wanted everybody to get a participation award for the last battle. New-type destroyer GET. Time to pull the destroyers out of storage for E4...

>>12082832
It's unlikely that you actually have 100 ships you treasure. I only have seven pages of ships I cared about enough to remodel them. It'll make composition quests harder, but that's about it.

>>12082834
Yeah, for her!

>>12082825

The beginner's luck is on your side, go for it!

>>12082837
The longer you play, the more ships will capture your heart

>>12082837
I keep extras of valuable ships just in case so I need the extra space.

>>12082821
No, it's Mutsu time.

>>12082845
I used to do this, but the just in case will never come as I don't let anyone sink.

>>12082845
I buy ship slots when I need the extra space.

>>12082837
Shitty Admiral's Adventure Log, E1 to E3: 20801 to 10397 fuel, 23763 to 18283 ammo, 23763 to 12408 steel, 11463 to 6536 bauxite, 84 to 44 buckets, でもここからが本番なのよ

>>12082844
If you have room in your heart for ninety girls you must be amazingly greedy.

>>12082842

>>12082856
fuk

lsc is evil

>>12082856

Haruna is all right,

>>12082862
she might be but im not daijoubu

I am still almost always getting error cat after every expedition since the update, wat do?

>>12082856
>>12082863
That is one expensive Haruna.

>>12082870
Go away, bug DMM or Kadokawa about it, we ain't your fuckin' tech support.

>>12082872
its okay

my proceeds go to the haruna kai ni fundraiser

I'm running E-5 with Nagato and Mutsu with AP shells and honestly, it's not that bad. They can take out the trash BBs in one shot if they cut-in/double attack, and they deal more damage to the gothloli in daytime, which I believe doesn't work when using Type 3?

>>12082881
the point of sanshikis is to do massive damage at night

>>12082881
Just put 2x46cm AP Sanshiki

Daytime double attack isnt really all that.

>>12082884
Yeah fuck you, daytime double oneshots BB's even for kongous

>>12082553
>Turbines add +5%
What. A flat 5%, irrelevant of the additional dodge?

>>12082883
Yeah, but it sucks when they target the trash BBs at night since I don't have enough firepower remaining to take them out in day battle. With 2AP 2Type 3 I can constantly go to night battle with only gothloli and the damned battleshit remaining.

>>12082884
I thought about doing this, but I'm afraid one will override the effect of the other. I vaguely remember reading about something like that here, but do they override?

>>12082884
>Daytime double attack isnt really all that.
My CAs pack even flagship TA with daytime double attack and green T

>>12082884
Keep telling yourself that. The recon system is undeniably OP.

>E-4
Muh buckets.. Atleast my resources aren't taking a hit like E2. Is there any strategy other than praying that my shipgirls don't get wrecked at the pre-boss node?

2 Soryuus in a row from E-2. Luck or is she a semi-common drop?

>>12082908
try using diamond or line aboob at preboss

>>12082912
Her sister's the rare one.
But Soryuu still a qt.

>>12082918
I meant to say E-3. I got her from pre-boss and boss node.

I have all the Akagi sisters already, I was just wondering to make sure I'm not using up my luck.

Tanikaze is for _____

>>12082923
At this point, shitposting.

>>12082923
Shitposting.

>>12082922
I wasted so many resources on the event, but in return I got:
Yukikaze
Hiryuu
Tanikaze x2
Hamakaze
Mikuma
Kumano

Anybody else got better drops?

>>12082942
Hatsukaze and Nagato. Hoping for a Tanikaze.

>>12082942
I managed to drop the Hiryuu sisters and Kaga from 2-3 runs in the span of 1 week, it was pretty sick.

In return I have gotten 0 rare drops (except Hyuuga who I'd been looking for a while).

>>12082942
I wasted so many resources but I only needed the event girls.

>>12082949
Hiryuu is rarer than Hyuuga

>>12082942
I got yours plus:
•Agano
•Noshiro
•Naganami
•Melon
•Zuihou

>>12082952
Well I know that I'd just never gotten her

>>12082952
Like just imagine an endless field of Ise and Fusou and that's my experience with most maps otherwise

>>12082888
A flat +5% for each turbine, that's about all I could work out since it's in Japanese

>>12082942
I got Hatsukaze, Tanikaze (x2) and a few rare ships I already had.
I only want Nagato and Hamakaze, but they're no where to be found.

How come Sakawa gets no equipment on her kai?

>>12082942
How much extra farming did you do?

Wanted: Nagato, Yuubari, Shoukaku, Hatsukaze, Hamakaze, Suzuya, Kumano, I-8, Akigumo, Akitsumaru, Maruyu, Tanikaze, Hamakaze, Z3

Got: Shoukaku

Well, there's still plenty of time.

>>12082963
The devs tweeted it is coming later, don't upgrade her yet

>>12082958
What about the fancier turbines? Are they the same?
Also +5% to what: the likelihood to evade?

Welp shit. With still 9 days to go, I'm forced to say goodbye for Kancolle for quite long, and I will miss the E-5. What's the best option to dump my remainder resource?
a)hunt Maruyu/Tanikaze/other rare ships (still miss Mikuma and DDs)
b)dump them in LSC?

>>12082969
Why you gotta go sabbatical? Real life shit?
Just forget that and keep playing the KanColle.

>>12082969
LSC

>>12082968
強化型艦本式缶 +5%

I would guess the fancy one is +6.5%

>>12082942
So far, I've found 2 Yuubaris, Zuikaku, Agano, Maikaze. Haven't done any specifically farming runs as of yet.

I hate this map so much
First its that I cant get to the boss node, now its that everyone does shit damage in orange and the healthy ones miss or hit the trash subs

>>12082969
Remember, Finals are for bitches!

>>12082974
Have to do some trip, so my internet access will be very limited.

>>12082978
Keep trying, trust your girls, and upgrade your equipment if you don't have the top shit yet.

>>12082989
Skip the trip. Tell them you have to kill the goth loli with your fleet of cute girls.

They'll understand.

>>12082990
I do, I had no issues at all for the first kills except for a red T but now its like they forgot what its like to do damage
Only Yuudachi and Shigure do damage now for some strange and of course they wont touch the flagship.

>>12082999
You'll get it eventually. I already see a slight sliver less in that health gauge.

Ah. E4 pre-boss. Wo Kai. How cruel.

>>12083008
oh mY GOD it 1-shots DDs what the hell whatever

I'm so regretting not clearing up through exp 37 right now.

I keep running low on steel while trying to clear E-5. I have her down to maybe 2 full kills left, but I can't run very many concurrent sorties thanks to my short supply of steel.

I cleared exp 35 in the hopes of unlocking exp 37 quickly so I can mine that for steel, only to discover that I need AVs for exp 36. I remodeled those girls a long time ago, so here I am looking for another pair again.

>>12083008
>>12083010
Hit diamond and pray.

Weird photoshop dude lost to E-5, for now.

>>12082976
Can you link to the source?

>>12083012
Ex 3 spam?

>>12083015
Thank god this shit's not that resource-intensive because I'm not running 4 fucking BBs and 2 CVs

>>12083018
http://ch.nicovideo.jp/biikame

Not sure how to look through his previous streams

>>12083004
And we're finally done, thank god.
Complaining on /jp/ really works, I got T advantage and was able to sink the flagship after a lot of failures
Started with 310 buckets and I have 118 buckets now, I feel so poor.

Not even going to bother with sakawa

>>12083019
That's what I'm doing for now. That and exp 20.
I'd rather be working that sweet 37 though. I've got the drums for it and I'm getting tired of sparkling over and over.

>>12083024
Congratulations, TTK. Go play with your new crane.
Sakawa will be craftable eventually anyway. I hope ;_;

>>12083025
Well, even without sparkling the steel/hr from ex2 is the highest by far.

>>12083029
True. But I prefer the longer, higher-yield expeditions.
That way I don't have to baby the game and can focus on other stuff.

>>12083029
No, it's 37>3>20>38.

>>12083033
>37>3
How?

So whatever happened to E-5 enemy reinforcements or something? Isn't it supposed to be today?

Tokyo express expeditions are great. I especially like 37 because I can send an AV with 4 boats along and the high rate of great success without sparkling.

>>12083049
Which AV can carry 4 boats?

>>12083052
3 boats obviously, I just had a brainfart.

My second favorite is exp36. I just have to swap a DD to an AV in my exp21 fleet to have 4 boats, sparkle with pvp and off to sleep. By the time I'm awake, I have almost 900 fuel, and 360 steel and baux.

>>12083049
37 requires 1CL and 5DDs. Unless you've unlocked a special 7th slot in your fleets, I'm not sure where you're sneaking in an AV, let alone 2 for all those boats.

>>12083017
He still has a week to go

The mask will triumph

Is the 25mm rocket whatever thing worth using at all?

>>12083065
See the brainfart line.
Exp 21, 36 and 38 are the ones I run boated.

>>12083071
Depends what you're putting them on. I used mine on my BBs together with Type 21 Radars until I got Type 3 shells for all of them. They're now serving on my DDs and CAs.

So this >>12083049 was supposed to be about 38 then?

Okay, that makes a lot more sense.

>>12083081
Yes

What formation for the middle node on E5? So far I've been using diamond with mixed results.

>>12083095
You mean hime? Double line

>>12083098
Did you sparkle?

>>12083100
No.
Well, when I had good pvp targets available, I sparkled to 50, but according to some people here, it doesn't count until 53 anyway. I'd rather spend extra resources on 2-3 more runs than wasting hours AND resources on 1-1

How rekt am I gonna be if I try farming E-3 with 4BBV 2CV?

>>12083115
>rekt

fuck off

>>12083115
Your resources will get rekt.

>>12083115
E-3 is easy. Only your resources will be rekt.
Unless you want rare DD, you might as well just do LSC.

>>12083107
I'll second the anti-sparkle recommendation.
In a slight burst of desperation, I decided I'd try to get my whole fleet up to 85 morale before I'd try E-5 again.

The sorties ended with red crits by the second or third node until my sparkle had faded from all but the MVP and flagship. After a few no-sparkle runs, I landed two boss kills in quick succession.

>>12083100
Actually I'd like to ask, did you use double line for all nodes?

>>12083149
meant to quote >>12083098

>>12083149
No. LA, DL, DL, LA

E-3 was so damn easy. Only used about 5k to complete it with mid-level fleet. Replacing one BB with CLT also worked out well.

KCV should be back to its former glory, with less memory leakage and more fluid UI.

>Repair time tool tips for both the normal docks and the facility that Akashi gives. Tell me if anything be off.
>Repairs all show in real-time again.
>Air superiority no longer takes into account recon planes.
>Tons of back-end changes really.

Huge bro-fist to Grabacr07 who used portions of my fixes in the last few versions for this one and then going nuts doing a ton of other things.

>>12083153
So does this mean you guys have figured out exactly how Akashi works? If others have over the past few days then I haven't been paying attention. My own testing has given inconsistent results.

Thanks for your work.

>>12083153
Great, thanks.
Is this the whole new version where Grabacr07 rewritten the core of the data-sniffing

>>12083074
Fuck you I just replaced a DD on 37 to test it

>>12083153
Tenga-ribbons

What a slut

I love sluts

>>12083162
Yea. He pretty much re-did it completely. Now everything is being kept as a whole rather than re-creating everything from scratch with every update the client gets. I also did my part and redid some of my stuff so things won't be so damn wonky.

>>12083159
I don't use her in sorties, but in HQ this is how she works:

>Every 20 minutes of the hour, Akashi will heal 1 HP on herself and x number of slots below (x = number of facilities).
>She can only heal those still in the green of health ( >= 95%)
>As long as you don't swap out ships between the 20 minutes, they will be healed.

None of that is being used in KCV. All it does is tell you the time regardless of their position. The amount of HP they do have does matter and will not display if they are too damaged.

So far it's only really helped when I've got the repair docks full and I only need a few points healed while I wait for important ships to finish up.

>>12083129
Nice sample size, I sparkled everything 75+ I had a run of 8 retreating on the 2nd node with 3 and 5 near S ranks on either side

Been stuck on E3 all day, after painful bad luck on E2 night node. What can i do to get through the two nodes pre-boss, E3A is fine, but E and H wreck me. i've been advancing Line A forward E double H Double. only made it though once.

>>12083177
>95%

Well, that would be the source of the inconsistency. I thought she would heal anyone above yellow.

>>12083177
>She can only heal those still in the green of health ( >= 95%)
If I'm not mistaken, she healed my CLTs who were in yellow health. I'm almost sure that they were below 95% health.

>>12083177
Your info on Akashi is wrong, she can heal ships in yellow. She also will heal herself +1 ship + number of repair facilities. Haven't really tested it myself, but other information on her repair speed do differ from yours, too.

>>12082961
Got Nagato from S-Rank E-2 Boss drop.

>>12083187
How high are your HQ?

>>12083187
Before tackling E-3, I spent the last few days crafting 46cm and sanshiki and ended up with 2 of each which really helped. You probably need to level your Kaga more and it might help if you leveled your Hiei and Kongou to ~40.

>>12083208
Try crafting 8 for E5

I blew around 100k ammo and steel in this event

>>12083210
I'm definitely not prepared for E-5 and won't be bothering with it. Don't see the point in doing E-4, either.

>>12083187
You're expecting to get through event-maps with ships that aren't even fully modernized? And a level 11 CV? seriously?

>>12083214
E4 is easy, very easy on every resource except buckets and that's only if you're an impatient fuck like me

It's like what, 3-5k all for it? It gives you unique equipment that will be found nowhere else for a long, long time.

>>12083218
Well, if you put it that way... Here I thought I was done with the event. E-4 it is.

>>12083223
If your HQ is below 80, E-4 is a joke.

>>12083225
I'm barely below 80. It must be a sign.

>>12083207
46

>>12083208
Alright figured as much, would be needed. I've only got one 46cm right now, but both the CV's have sanshiki.

I've got other ships available but it's two DD at 60~, Chitose at 55, Ooi at 58, and fusou at 56. Only ever had akagi till now, just poor as hell luck on ship drops Hiei and Kongou only dropped this week.

>>12083225
Just craft a bunch of ASW and get a CV loaded with green stuff for wo-chan. Can confirm because I devolved into shitposting and got flamed for not being able to clear that first try. DDs and CLs pretty much asspound submarines w/good luck.

>>12083225
Wait they don't have super Wo and Tachan-sama.

>>12083232
Also feel free to disregard that part about the CLs and DDs because if you don't run them you're not clearing shit.

>>12083225
How the level scaling works? level 80 and level 40?

>>12083232
What was your composition?
DD - DD - DD -DD - BB - CV?

>>12083240
>BB
I meant CL

>>12083240
Not him, but I cleared it with 4DD1CL1BB. Three of the DDs and the CL were level ~50 expedition regulars, with two Mutsukis among them, so you can easily crush E5 even if you don't have the elite DDs.

>>12083240
I think that works pretty well

>>12083244
>so you can easily crush E5 even if you don't have the elite DDs.
That made me chuckle.

>>12083249
Oh dammit, I was so obsessed with finishing off the E5 gauge that I didn't even realize what I was typing.

At this rate, Wake-tan will probably break my mind before I can break her gauge.

>>12083244
Oh fuck, CLT doesn't count. I don't have a decently leveled CL.

What formation did you use at E-4 preboss node?

>>12083266
Double-line or diamond work

was testing around with my fleet and moved a carrier in flagship position, went E5 for a try and ended up clearing the map, health bar was already at zero after countless cheap damage sortie, well, fuck you wake-chan, this time for good.

time to poke sakawa belly

>>12083177
Basically Akashi will repair your ships if HP is >50% (yellow and above).
Why remove recon planes from the air superiority calculation though?

finally....I can rest now from this torture...
gonna marry nagato soon...

Which is better, stacked one depth charges and 2 sonars, or 2 depth charges and one sonar?

Does the effect adds up?

>>12082942
Hiryuu, Shoukaku, Zuikaku, 3 tanikaze, naganami, maruyu

>>12083282
Where do you get Shoukaku?

E-4 isn't as easy as I was made to believe. The pre-boss node is a RNG-fest. My Zekamashi keeps getting hit to red.

>>12082942
I was only farming for Hatsukaze and Tanikaze since I have everyone else.
Only got Hatsukaze. Tanikaze still nowhere to be found.

But I have seen duplicates of Yuubari, all the subs except for Hachi, bunch of mikuma/kumano, hamakaze and mutsu from the top of my head.

>>12083290
Pretty sure it was E-2, might have been E-3 though. I'm sure it's in the japanese wiki.

>>12083292
it's indeed an RNG fest but with cl, 4dd and a bbv with seaplanes I got past wo node the 80% of times, using diamond formation.

>>12083297
Why are you using diamond to lower when evasion when it's double attack wrecking you instead of Wo planes?

>>12083297
dunno read the wiki and it said diamond, and it worked.

Just where are these people who lack proper capitalization and punctuation coming from?

>>12083292
And Yukikaze gets hit to red on node A. E-4 doesn't seem that worth it once again. Fuck this.

>>12083306
The Wiki.

>>12083306
No bully.

>>12083306
I wonder.

>>12083317
I just saw that, too. Fucking disgusting.

>>12083295
Oh thanks.
>>12083294
And I want Yuubari, Mikuma/Kumano/Suzuya, maybe Hamakaze and Kinu because I still haven't got them and got nonw

They're fast.

>>12083334
Why.

>>12083349
It's all about love.

>>12083352
what is love?

>>12083365
Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.

>>12083365
Baby don't hurt me.

Is the memory leakage problem not KCV-exclusive? I'm using Flash vanilla and after few hours it eats almost 500MB of my RAM.

>>12083380
No, it started happening after the update.

>>12083380
>>12083386

Using KCV for almost 25 hours.

4 clears of E-3 and so far I got Tanikaze and Shoukaku out of it (ships that I dont have yet). So~ how many runs did it took you guys for hamakaze and hatsukaze.

Also, anybody can guess which ships are unlikely to get a kai ni now

>>12083393
I got Hatsukaze while clearing E-1.
Hamakaze? She hates me. ;_;

>>12083380
I think it's kancolle related, game starts to lag badly after some hour's, no matter were i play (kcv or chrome).

>>12083393
I got Hatsukaze twice when attempting to clear E-1, no luck for Hamakaze though.

I'm looking for Shoukaku, and the rarest I got from E-3 when clearing it was Hiryuu.

Still aiming for Yuubari first.

>>12083402
I get 1-2 Yuubari every week from all 30 dailies

I thought daytime cut-in can't miss and will do at least scratch damage. Well, it just missed Kaga in pvp

>>12083411
Yeah, sure

>>12083402
Yuubaris were dropping like candies this event for me.

>>12083393
Got hatsukaze on 2nd clear of E2. Hamakaze from like the 4th clear of E3.
Tanikaze from ~8th S rank clear of E4

>>12083402
Still haven't got her from 30all crafts? I've probably used her as modernization 6 times now

Ok, so how do you beat desire sensor?

>>12083393
I got only hamakaze, farming e1 for hatsukaze, then I'll even have to go e4 or something for tanikaze

>>12083435
Forget about the girl(s) you want and play as usual.

>>12083411
>>12083420
>>12083432
Why she hate me? I promise won't do anything weird to her.

The rarest I got from all 30 craft are Yayoi.

>>12083438
Sorry, didn't mean to post pic. But I finally got her while doing 3-3 for weekly. 3 cans of beer really helped.

>>12083438
I would do it if I could but that is not possible. I-19's body is way too clear in my mind.

>>12083438
Can't. Every time Amatsukaze talks, my dxxk explodes.

>>12083438
It seems different from holo background I got, why?

>>12083438
>>12083448
Damm..
New background is much better.

>>12083448
They changed it in latest update. The old holo background is used in equipment crafting now.

How do you guys farm E-1 efficiently? Using the recommended setup, I end up with at least 2-3 ships in orange, or even red if there are misses during the day.

>>12083461
CL CL CA CA CV CV

>>12083448
>>12083459
>>12083455
Nagato is S-Holo, so the background reflects it. I got Akagi the other day and saw no changes.

>>12083461
2 CAV 2 CA 2 CLT

>>12083463
You go north route?

>>12083466
That's the fleet I'm using, with an avg level of 89.
Last run had Suzuya in red, Ooi and Kinu and Kiso in orange and Tone with yellow.

Is the double-attack in day battle also affected by luck? I swear my Nagato does that more often than all of my Kongou-class.

>>12083466
Whenever I try this I end up with 3 ships in red after the bossnode. Is that normal?

>>12083471
I often end up with only one orange after the pre-boss node. Just pray that your CLTs target the Ta first.

Anyway Hatsukaze dropped for me so I don't have to farm E-1 anymore.

>>12083475
Normal. At least you don't have to go 3 nodes and the CA/CLT repairs are cheap.

Can anyone here confirm if they got Iku from E-4 while below HQ Lv.80? I'm starting to speculate that she only drops if HQ is Lv.80+ just like map 1-5.

>>12083480
Okay, I just found it to be pretty heavy on my buckets. But if I had to pick between sitting on a pile of 900+ buckets or reducing that by 100 and getting Hatsukaze, the choice is obvious

Has this been posted yet

>>12083500
Not bad, certainly earned my respect.

Whoever came out with the idea of putting hime in the middle of the nodes should be fired.

Cleared E-5, used another 400+ buckets on running E-4 for Tanikaze, no dice. This sucks, gonna just give up and wait for her to be in a normal map.

Since when does repairing ship will not remove its sparkle condition?

Also, just got Hacchan from E4.

>>12083520
Since always. It only resets fatigue.

>>12083520
Forever?

>>12083512
I just trying E-5 for first time, that sub is also annoying.
My Kaga brought down to orange with opening attack, and my Mutsu which already orange is also brought down to red.

Today everything goes as wrong as possible. Going for last 2 kills on E-4. DD critted to red on the first node three times in a row, DDs/CL critted to red by Wo, DDs, CL, even BB critted to red by Ta, sudden "go-home" CA crits.

I'll just send expeditions for today.

>>12083567
It's fine, anon. You still have plenty of time.

Literally have everything from E4 except for Tanikaze. Is she more common in E2 and E3 or what?

Holy shit, changed fleet to farm e4 but went e5 instead, out of habit, since i've been running that map for a day. Time for F5 formation.

for AA is air radar better or sanshiki?

>>12083595
No bully.

>>12083592
Got her twice from E2 boss drop.

>>12083595
Beware, the other guy lost a ship to that one

I just trying to do E-3 for fun using Nagato and Mutsu, but I'm forced to retreat from node before the boss.

Dammit RNG, at least I got Hamakaze from it, as a consolation prize.

>>12083603
heh.

Why?

>>12083592
Same, but E-2 and 3 are pretty expensive to farm so I don't know what to do now.

Fuck you, RNG. After spending 102 TTK levels without Mutsu, then getting 2 of her from the event, guess what the first 4-2 boss drop is? Yes.

>>12083623
Nyagato?

>>12083623
When you get one, chances are there are more to follow.

Yes, Haruna is daijoubu, dess.

>>12083623
Why so mad?
Mutsu has a good scrap value for metal.
It could be worse, you could get more duplicate goya which has shit value to scrap and lousy modernization ability.

>>12083642
I'm not mad. And I find Mutsu too cute to scrap her.

>>12083650
Are you going to become like that one guy who had 30+ Hiei all married?

For the past three days I keep getting the boss node on 2-3 with the transport ship quests active. What the fuck.

Do extra maps reset at midnight or when there's a pvp update?

>>12083656
I also got that, and it keeps increasing my admiral XP.
Maybe they did something to that.

Sometimes it can escape your mind.

>>12083724
Please explain how can they do that.

>>12083716
Two of them were crafted with the same recipe I just used, 4/2/5/5.2 and 1 devmat. I'm finally free from LSC (or at least I am until they add Musashi to the pool)

>>12083727
Yes but afterwards there's the name and portrait in the confirm screen. You'd have to be drunk out of your ass to do that.

>>12083740
Ah, if you mean night battle cut-in then please disregard what I said. It seem I have drank a bit much.

35k fuel left and just need 1 more kill for E-5. Not looking too good.

Haruna's always dealing the final hit, I love her so much.

That anon talking about doing E-2 168 times must be lying through his teeth
BB CAV CAV CA CV CV, searchlight, echelon and the night node sends me home 10 out of 10 times

I love auto filtering "git good" and all variations

>>12083757
Use BBs, they're sturdier.

>>12083757
It's just RNG. I cleared E2 in less than an hour, but any time I try to grind it I get crit one way or another.

>>12083757
you only tried 10 times? really?

>>12083757
I'm here, I use BB CAV CLT CLT CV CV with searchlight on BB and line ahead/double line on the night battle node. Personally I find line ahead more effective than double line since I get less single digit double attacks, less enemies = less cut-in chances.

I barely have 20k of each resource, should I bother even trying E-5? My TTK level is 99 too so I'll probably get raped.

>>12083771
Don't even try unless you want to waste those little resources for nothing other than Kisaragis.

>>12083771
There's a guy whose fuel/steel is constantly below 1k and he almost cleared it, resources don't mean shit with no regen.

What map is the easiest to try to farm for Nagato? I did 3-3 and even tried min LSC for her before the event and I haven't gotten shit. I am now at E-5 and still have no Nagato.

>>12083781
Arpeggio E-2.

>>12083783
I don't have a time machine and even if I did I wouldn't be using it for this.

>>12083760
This is about farming, obviously
If I use BBs I can just go farm E-3 instead

>>12083762
Not counting any runs to clear the map like 6 days ago

>>12083768
CAV instead of CLT work fine and they can actually survive a TA hit or Wo crit. CLTs can't.

>>12083783
252 runs for Nagato in arpeggio e-2 with Iona is still expensive as fuck

>>12083789
3 dropped for me but Shokaku took me about 120+ runs. I want to fuck RNG goddess with a rake.

>>12083789
>>12083792
Why dont you guys just do LSC?
They are common hotel and taihou failures.

>>12083188
>>12083197
>>12083199
Actually right now its HP > 75%, but that still ain't right as it is right now. The time it takes is correct though. KCV just doesn't take into account time at all and rather just shows the total time it'd take to repair. That is unless she repairs faster than 1 HP per 20min?

>>12083276
The JP players have found out that recon planes don't do anything towards your air superiority. This change wasn't by me but by Grabacr07 and Sanaechan (Logbook has this change as well). Looks like they are strictly bonuses to LoS and other useful stats.

Is there any reason why I randomly error cat after almost every expedition? Is it my shitty ISP or my computer?

>>12083798
Other sources said she repairs at least 1hp per 20 min, but she repairs as many hp per 20 min as the drydock would repair in the same time.
I didn't test this myself yet though.

>>12083789
Just stating from my experience.
My CLTs never got hit by a crit from Wo on the first node or boss node, they only do at most scratch damage to my fleet or 10+ damage with a crit. Ta-chan on the second node only managed to crit my CLTs to red 4 or 5 times at most out of my near 200 runs.

Is it common for support fleet to miss every single enemy, ugly red blobs included? Because it happened twice for me today.

>>12083781
You can try E-3, got my Nagato there.

>>12083807
1 HP per 20 min is probably false, I have had her repair ships much faster than that, and she was only level 1. Still is level 1.

>>12083795
There are couple of reasons, I was leveling subs, Arpeggio E-2 was cheap, Suzuya drops there as well, recipes weren't trustworthy, etc etc.

>>12083768
Not a single fucking tanikaze? jesus christ
there goes my plan to get her from E-2

>>12083813
Its then most likely the upper limit in terms of time. I can probably test this with Maruyu and a few others.

>>12083823
but how do you get a Maruyu damaged to less than orange?

>>12083813
Wasn't it 1-4 every 20min.

And if it works, tell us how.

>>12083846
Okay, how?

>>12083832
>Overheal
How

>>12083832
>>12083842
I wonder if that's a bug or not

>>12083846
>she takes damage
invincible fleet dreams are over

I assume this happens if Akashi repairs her + she gets repaired in the docks at the same time
i.e.
the docks repair X damage and they add that HP value when the time is over
If Akashi heals her up before that, she'll get that many extra HP

If it works like this, you could essentially double the HP on your ships by getting them reckt to 1 HP, letting Akashi repair them while they sit in the docks

Granted, it would take like 40 hours to do that for a max level Mutsu or Nagato

But could be useful for 5-5 if they don't fix it and if it works like this

>>12083861
Akashi can't repair ships at 1hp anyway.

>>12083855
What?Depending on the method, we can overload a BB -
>>12083861
this but only orange+1 hp as >>12083863 stated

>>12083832
>>12083842
>>12083846
5-5 is not a pipe dream anymore!

>>12083861
I called bullshit.
I have been repairing my ships with akashi and dock all the time. Never see went over.

>>12083876
Akashi is supposed to ignore ships in the docks. No idea what went wrong for >>12083832

>>12083876
what part of assume do you not understand?
Unless the anon getting the overheal tells us how he did it, we're just gonna be here testing things and theories

Yay, I can finally take it easy. Wasn't expecting such a heavy toll on steel.

What happens if you do this:
Akashi flag, to-be-repaired ship in fleet, wait for like 2 or 3 ticks of HP without going back to main menu, /then/ put ship in docks, which still has the 'old' (before Akashi ticks) HP value

>>12083884
Mutsu is simply the best. The BB Hime is so shitless scared of her, she tries to take her down all the time and she brings home the bacon almost all the time. She did the final kill for me, too.

Fucking spend all month working on the top 500.
Dropped out a fucking few hours before the end.

Can I cry now?

I hope they give out a special furniture for those with Sakawa by the event's end. That's the least that the devs could do for giving such a crappy trophy ship.

So how do i get daytime double attacks in air parity?

Sakawa is the worst final map reward ever
May? Shinden Kai, much much better
August? Yamato, way better
November? Musashi, way better
December? Shioi, better

>>12083912
you don't

>>12083912
You can't.

>>12083904
5th fleet please.

What formation do I use for the nodes before the boss in E-5?

5th Fleet
Yamato, Musashi (becomes available in LSC at the same time), Yahagi and Sakawa

How mad would everyone be?

>>12083913
>December? Shioi, better
Wrong. Seiran, way better.

Especially now that bombers are relevant.

>>12083921
I have them all, so 100% cool with it.

>>12083921
Got them all, feels good man.

>>12083921
Not, because they will be too busy welcoming Musashi in their fleet.

>>12083798
Z a request for KCV, put it in the optional stuff to do when the api mess is fixed, or when you're bored, can you set the onclick of the "new version of KCV is available" notification to open the KCV update tab and auto start the "check for updates" thing? Or better, go directly to the update page, as if i clicked on the new version link, nothing major but would be cool to have it to streamline the user experience.

>>12083919
I doubt the devs are that sly. They'd probably only introduce 5th fleet when they make Sakawa buildable if she's a requirement, as to not spite new players. They seem to do that pandering thing a lot nowadays.

New equipments would also be equally nice, but I doubt that as well. Furniture would be the barest minimum they can do, and sets apart players who finish the event from those who got Sakawa from drops or crafts.

What if Sakawa becomes craftable at the next maintenance, right as the event ends so even the newest of the newfags can get her without ever participating in the event?

>>12083921
Why even bother making Musashi available in LSC? Why not just go one step further and screw over 95% of the playerbase? But they're not going to make any ship relevant until she's available to everyone, and they won't make Sakawa any harder to craft than her sisters.

64 runs on E-1 and the only notable drops were two Yukikaze and a Pyon. What the hell.

>>12083940
I did E-2 for tanikaze and Hatsukaze is my first drop
I feel trolled

>>12083940
best ship i got from E-1 boss is zuihou, other were common stuff.

Now that the boss gauge for 1-5 is reset, will the 75 ranking points go to april or may if I finish it before pvp reset?

>>12083945
The ranking has already reset. The PVP reset only updates it visually for you.

>>12083946
So the ranking actually resets daily at 12am JST but changes are only shown at 3am JST? Got it.

Alright just tried testing it now with Akashi (Lv1) and Maruyu (Lv19).

Akashi Dock = 11 HP Lost * 10sec * 2.0 + 30 = 250 seconds = 4min 10 sec
Maruyu Dock = 1 HP Lost * 165 sec * 0.5 + 30 = 112 seconds = 1min 52sec

So if things are true, both will be healed to 100% health in less than 5 min after the 20min mark. And at 12:25 my time, they were at their full health for both.

So the rules are like this then?
>Akashi will heal at least 1 HP per 20min
>If the ship can heal more than 1 HP every 20min, then it will do so with 20min being the cap (So if in 20 minutes you can heal 3 out of 6 HP, then you'll only get 3)
>If the ship can be healed to full health before the next 20min, it will take the minimum amount of time to heal that amount (such as Akashi healing 11HP in 5 minutes).

Not sure if this is 100% correct. I'd have to test a few other ships, but from what I've seen with my BBs and CVs (as its the only thing I've been using for the event), the above rules make the most logical sense.

>>12083929
Was wondering if I could even do that, I'd have to play around with it. If I can't do this, then I'll most likely have a link/button right at the startup screen of KCV.

>>12083950
this is not really related, but quick question: how do I properly update KCV? I've just been downloading every new revision and running that, is there a better way?

>>12083153
Where can you see the repair time tooltips for Akashi's repair facility?

For those people who said that the clear medal stays after reset some time ago, you're all retards.

>>12083956
Mouse over the HP text and bars. I am going to make a repair queue page, but got side-tracked by the updates to KCV.

>>12083955
The idea was that you'd get message from KCV, you go to updates page in the settings, click button to go to latest build, download rar file of latest build, replace everything.

I do that myself after every build to make sure things are pointing to the right place, but as it was said, its pretty tedious to do. So I'll have to refine the process to a single click either on the update notification or on the start screen of KCV.

Also I don't do actual auto updates like with translations due to me not trusting it to work all the time plus the hassle in code it requires for it to work without using Microsoft's deployment system.

>>12083956
mouse over the ship

>>12083969
I see. Besides the small hassle of running through the settings it's not really that bad though, so I don't really mind if there isn't a more refined update feature. Thanks for all your hard work on this, greatly appreciated!

>>12083964
i had to get a new API code, like last month reset.

>>12082942
So far I haven't gotten a single drop I wanted.

I did unexpectedly get an extra I-8 and I-19 though.

>>12083969
The Updates page for KCV indicates there's an update to the Operations translations (1.0.3), but the actual xml looks like it's still at version 1.0.2.

Also, I love KCV. Just thought you should know.

Tested this:
Damaged ship in fleet with Akashi, wait 2 akashi ticks (40 minutes) without going to main menu, put ship in dock, go to main menu
the HP value didn't update so unless the ship is suddenly overhealed after the docks finish, this version isn't working.

gonna try the same as above but not going to the main screen after putting the ship into the docks next and see what happens when the repair finishes and I then go to the main screen

i should stop being lazy and install visual studio to help with kcv development.

Am I the only one to enjoy these types of battles in PvP.
I kind of wish PvP would have reduced resource expenditure.

>>12084001
Where'd you get I-19? I've been hearing she drops at least at the boss node for E-4.

I'll probably go back and farm E-4 for more once I clear this stupid E-5 bullshit.

>>12084015
Iku drops on any node on E4. I got one on the very first node.

>>12083471
There are a few tricks to it that I've slowly picked up on. For example you should bring 1 plane with you of the kind that attacks in opening phase, to give you air superiority. For some reason this seems to give the enemy side a slight penalty.

I got quite wrecked at first with the recommended setup, but after making sure I had a plane things seemed to go much better.

Similarly on E4 I had much better evasion and took less damage from TA etc. with a CV in the formation with fighters. (Sadly that only got me A rank on boss since sinking 5 subs with 4 DD and 1 CL requires luck.)

>>12084004
Try to wait for 2 ticks then use bucket without going back to main menu before that

>>12084041
did you try this or is it a theory?

>>12084049
Just stating another possibility

>>12084038
i've been running 2CA 1CAV 1DD 2CLT since yesterday, both CA with reconplane for double attack and CAV with a Seiran, but i still get wrecked on TA node sometimes, and boss node almost always wrecks someone to taiha, the biggest problems seem the TA BB, that randomly crits ships to orange/red and enemy torpedoes, no matter what formation i pick if some enemy is alive and can launch torpedo one of my ship gets hit pretty hard.

fuck this shit, 4th i-8 from E-4, i just want tanikaze please.

so akashi -> docks -> wait for repair -> main
doesn't work
other options are
akashi -> docks (bucket) -> main screen
akashi -> docks (wait) -> akashi -> main
docks(bucket) -> akashi -> main

or anon could spill the fucking beans

>>12084052
Sounds about right. Sometime TA rape, and boss often shoots someone to red.

The good part is that mostly you get to S rank through the map and have a chance at drops.

Perhaps you have to first have suffered TA hell in E4 to appreciate how rarely you have to abort in E1.

>>12084059
Same boat here.
Have been there almost a week after I got Sakawa.
I just have Zuihou drops on me. Tanikaze is literally the only ship that I still havent see.

>>12084060
You have to use the Photoshop formation.

something seems amiss, i'm bringing zuihou to 1-5 with akitsumaru planes and a saiun equipped, but she doesn't attack, she never attacked in 3 full runs.

I only need Tanikaze
E-2, E-3 or E-4?
I have highlevel ships suitable for all maps but I'd rather not waste damecons or take the risk of losing a ship

>>12084066
She needs one red or blue plane.

>>12084067
If you have resources, go with E3. The least RNG dependant, but resources heavy due to the damage you will take over time.

>>12084065
doesn't look shopped to me

>>12084067
E-4 is the cheapest, you'll pay in buckets and in rage at Wo node, i'm running it with cl, 4dd and a bbv with 2 seaplanes and 2 gyrocopters, chances of reaching boss node are high, around 70%.

>>12084079
how are you only retreating 1/3
I did about 30 runs with level 80+ DD, CL and a level 55 BBV and I always had some DDs in red

>>12084079
Don't you lose a lot of planes to the Wo with that setup?

>>12084079
like >>12084080 I don't consider E4 as a viable option.
Regardless of the formation, I'm pretty much victim of RNG, always putting at least 1DD or even my BB to red.

A map that require damecon for farming? No thanks.

>>12084080
dunno, probably luck

>>12084080
Same, I'd be very lucky if no one got red.

>>12084082
No, it uses around 30 baux for every sortie, not much, that's around 6 planes shoot down, probably Wo has only attack planes.

BBV(because evasion) with 46cm, 46cm, sanshiki, type 14 radar
4DD (depth charge, sonar, rocket launcher)
1CL (depth charge, sonar, rocket launcher)

Lets see if this at least gets rid of Wo

New month. Medals are resetting. Anyone trying for 5-5? How are your builds and how thoroughly are they getting violated by Re?

>>12084096
got to boss first try but might have been luck. Wo critted PTSD for 20 damage but the air strike did shit all on double line.
Only Poi's wife was in orange, went to boss, Boss crits beaver and jintsuu straight to red

Confirming it, just got Iku drop from E-4 boss node. My HQ is level 39

>>12084113
I'm running with air superiority set-up and it work semi-good, if only extremely luck dependent. Bauxite drain is disastrous though.

>>12084114
second time air bomb put two ships to orange and the TA hit someone to red and nothing else hit after that. fucking retarded.
testing a few more runs with rocket launchers but I have the feeling AA cannons are horribly nerfed

>>12084067
E3. I was trying to choose myself, and figured a 4 BB + 2 CV fleet would at least be durable.

1 run, 1 tanikaze. Probably used up this weeks good luck, but I'm glad it is only mikuma and hatsukaze left.

>>12084124
If you want AA, swap one of your BBV's 46cm for more sanshiki or AA radar.

>>12084130
so goddamn jelly

>>12084132
do sanshiki AA multiplier stack?

>>12084113
My medal for 1-5 got reset, but I don't see a boss gauge yet.

I can't remember if I had to encounter the boss node at least once before it shows up or not.

>>12084167
clear cache

I survive the air strike
TA misses
elite CA crits bep to red
TA crits Poi
Wo Kai crits BBV

Three crits in one battle just what the fuck

>>12084177
It's RNG, what do you expect? It's not that three of your ships sunk in one battle

>>12084177
Initial air strike critted my Nagato from green to red once. It just happens.

Enemy haet shota.

Or maybe the fifth slot. It's always the fifth one. I always fairy that one.

>>12084207
Can't resist molesting boys.

>>12084167
same here, no boss guage in sortie page.

>>12084113
I try'd 5-5 earlier after clearing E-5, but Elite Re is too strong, she got Yamato and Kaga to red only with opening attacks, i was running a 3BB (Yamato, Nagato and Kongou with 2x46cm 1xtype14 radar and 1xRecon plane), 2CV (Kaga and Zuikaku with 3xReppuu/Kai 1xType 62) and 1CVL (Chiyoda, with 2xReppu 1x12A 1xSaiun). Most likely i'll have to run a support fleet, at least for boss node.

A couple of videos:
first run + equip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DMR1AVXQ64
5-5 kill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2hMCzRTAeg

True Americans, going for the little boy.

>>12084230
I thought Yurup was more into little boys?

Look at the handy work of my general support.
Then shitty torpedo slut crits my Kaga from full HP to red.

>>12084227
Why not double attack setup

>>12084248
Oh never mind, I thought the vids are yours.

>>12084248
2 main cannons, a radar and a recon plane triggers double attack, to do a cut-in you need a secondary gun or AP ammo with a radar.

>>12084244
Fuck that node so much, north is much better.

>>12084254
Not mine, and videos are old, before event patch. The guy is running old maps to check how the new mechanics broke the game.

My carriers and planes are shit.I have only 4 reppu.If only I see the boss node once, and see that I can't attain air superiority then I will go with 3CV.
