Excellent taste in OP images, OP

Reminder: http://theglorioblog.com/2014/05/01/the-unfortunate-implications-of-kantai-collection/

>>12089168
Why should we get reminded?

>>12089168
reminder of what? that there exist people who are literally so immensely stupid that they are physically repelling intelligent people in real space?

What setup are you guys using to S rank E-4 for drops?

I've been using Haruna as an AA platform along with Isuzu as flagship and 4 destroyers with a depth charge, sonar, and damecon each. I don't consistently get S ranks with that though, so I was considering swapping out Haruna for a BBV loaded with Zuiuns. Thoughts?

>>12089168
>You know, that war in which Japan committed countless war crimes.
Oh boy here we go.

>>12089176
Use BBV if you've got helis or at the very least Seirans, otherwise they're going to do fuck all.

>>12089176
If you don't get S-ranks with 10 strong attacks against subs, there is something going wrong.
Considered replacing damekon with a sonar?

>>12089168
>Kantai Collection is a mobage
This is place where I stop reading, is it one time stupidity or did they go full retard after that?

I translated a doujin LN preview and am now shamelessly plugging it.

>>12089168
The only thing that offends me about this article is that it is too fucking long.

>>12089168
tl;dr?

>>12089186
[tl;dr] Wow, it's fucking nothing. [/tl;dr]

>>12089186
/pol/

>>12089182
The problem I've been having is that usually ~2 of my DDs get hit to orange on the Wo node and end up doing terrible damage at the boss, which usually nets me an A rank rather than an S rank.

I was considering swapping out damecons on two of my DDs so that I would have a better balance between reaching the boss node and actually S ranking it.

>>12089186
Japan did bad thing in war and is dramatizing their military and shit, and that's bad.

>>12089186
Imperial Japan was a bunch of jerks and 70 years later they're still unapologetic about it.

I tried skimming it for parts about Kancolle but there's only a couple of paragraphs specifically about the game. The rest of it's just muh nanking stuff that you could find anywhere.

>>12089195
I didn't use damekon or BBV and had no problems S-ranking the boss.

>>12089192
/pol/ only pretends to be outraged.

>>12089186
Blogger equates kancolle to whitewashing japanese war crimes and glorifying japanese ships. Also he has a problem with abyss fleet being Allied ships instead of axis ships. I'm sure if it was reversed with the players ship modeled after US/British/etc ships he'd have no problem with it

>>12089202
Yeah, it's the same thing here.

>>12089168
But the ships did nothing wrong.
Let us enjoy our cute shipgirls.

>>12089201
Could I trouble you to post your setup?

>>12089207
Retards will never understand that weapons don't kill people, people do.
And that's enough with that shit. I hate victor's justice wanking.

I didn't ask for any of this.

Which event drop ships are exclusive to the event?

>>12089220
Nagate

>>12089220
Tanikaze.

>>12089220
Completely exclusive to this event:
Drop: Tanikaze
Reward: Akashi, Amatsukaze, Sakawa

Easier rare drops:
-Hatsukaze
-Hamakaze
-Hachi
-Mikuma
-Agano
-Noshiro
-Yahagi (well, not that easier, still)

>>12089161
wow this actually looks cool ... wait i cant read sandscript.

can someone tell me is there an English button before i get excited to play this

>>12089228
2/10

>>12089214
>>12089207
That's like saying they can't be proud of their combat achievements because they were achieved by their crews.

>>12089228
Nice b8.

Have you ever dropped the same ship three times in a row on the same map?

>>12089168
What an assblassted, retarded blogger that is - wow. I feel sorry for everyone clicking that including myself.

>>12089232
>>12089237
I really wish i was trolling .... shit k no then thanks

>>12089212
All with full ASW, BB just with day-time double attack setup even though you won't get AS since it doesn't matter much.

>>12089228
>>12089246
There is no English button yet.

>>12089240
At first I was mad. Then I took a look at the guy's profiles. lmao2edgy.

>>12089239
E2 dropped me 3 Mogamis.

>>12089239
I got three Murakumos on one of my E-2 runs. It was unsettling.

Someone who asked about non-sparkled drum expeditions, here are some results.
Note the the pool is extremely small so you're better of doing your own research, you shouldn't this take very seriously.
Ex21: 7 drums total, 5 expeditions, 2 great success;
Ex37: 19 drums total, 5 expeditions, 4 great success;
Ex38: 18 drums total, 5 expeditions, 1 great success.

>>12089239
While I was doing E-2 I got chain Nagatsukis and chain Fubukis.

>>12089239
I got Nagatsuki 11 times in a row at E3. In the end I decided to keep one since she likes me so much.

>>12089270
That's not possible.

>>12089168
Just one question.
Why?

>>12089274
Why? Non-boss drop lists are extremely small and I had a bad luck chain with green Ts sending me home.

>>12089279
SJW

>>12089168
>>12089279

What's-his-face is a lame wanker but honestly if you guys actually don't know your WWII history that's pretty sad.

>>12089290
Pls stop.

>>12089228
>>12089246
>>12089249
No english but its not hard to play even without being able to read. All the buttons have huge pictures on them. Just read the wiki a bit and you're good to go.
Lottery for an account is a bitch though.

>>12089290
Why would I care about WWII history?
My country didnt participate in it, it was long over after I was born and it has no cute girls.

>>12089292
As a huge WWII nerd I need some opportunity to lord it over the rest of you.

>>12089294
in order to get to know your shipwaifu better

>>12089297
Isn't there Wikipedia for this?

>>12089295
People who wank their knowledge usually know jack shit about their wank object. Pls go, no need to fill this thread with shit even more.

>>12089297
Who cares about the past? I'll make her forget those painful memories with some sweet loving

>>12089301
And people posting on 4chan are usually retarded, but every now and then you find an exception.

Do you know this feeling of emptiness when you've finally obtained that ship you were aiming for several weeks.

>>12089302
you only ever wanted her for her body

>>12089300
It's a really, really, and I really mean it, really bad source of info. There are shitload of books available in English that are slightly less biased and have much more details, you're better of reading them.

>>12089295
ok :^)

>>12089300
>not using combinedfleet

Since a couple of days ago, the game send me error cat whenever I want to play, after I click the 'game start' button. I got the same error with all the pcs in my house (with the same internet connection), but not with a friend's pc (with her internet connection).
What's wrong with my internet? Do I have to change the IPs or something?

>>12089310
Nope, you're not making me become a military Otaku. I'm satisfied with superficial knowledge.

>>12089316
everybody point and make fun of the casual

>>12089248
>those levels

Well damn. Did you level your destroyers in 4-3 or elsewhere? All of mine are modernized, but they're all below level 50.

>>12089310

Care to name some?

>>12089316
>Everything I know is off Wikipedia
>I am a reputable source of information capable of informed discussion

>>12089322
Oh lawd. I'm not even that anon, but you got me started. For the IJN in WWII, start with A Battle History of the Imperial Japanese Navy by Paul S. Dull.

>>12089316
Come on, they have pretty pictures!

>>12089319
At least I'm not a "secondary".
>>12089325
What?
>>12089329
Honestly, I don't have an eye when it comes to military stuff. I can't even tell which ship is which type just by looking.

>>12089322
>>12089328
Next, for a greater historical picture of the IJN's doctrine and technology, try out Kaigun by David C. Evans and Mark R. Peattie. It stretches all the way back to 1887 and I bet that one Mikasafag has read it.

>>12089334
>At least I'm not a "secondary".
But you are confirmed for a retard, because nobody else could come up with this kind of a comeback.

>>12089321
3-2-A for the most part. Not really efficient in time though.

>>12089328
>>12089339

Thanks, I'll read them both later when I'm done with some stuff.

>>12089342
You're right I should have said:
A at least I'm not a "secondary'

Fucking kancolle staff with their Akashi avatar. Yes, that's what my pvp lists have looked like for the last week. Thanks for the reminder.

>>12089334
But pretty pictures!

>>12089362
I think it's really nice that people go out of their way to colorize these, black and white images make me sad.

>>12089239
Quite often, but only in a relatively narrow time windows. Especially during this event and Arpeggio event maps where drop tables aren't that bloated.

>>12089334
>>12089322
>>12089339
>>12089334
>>12089352
Lastly, if you need help making heads or tails of what a ship is supposed to look like, there's things like the World War Two pictorial series - example: Battleships of World War Two: An International Encyclopedia by M. J. Whitley, and Aircraft Carriers of the World, 1914 to the Present by Roger Chesneau.

There are a few unfamiliar terms that can probably be answered on Wikipedia, specifically names of ship parts. Those usually don't have biased articles, and I think being a casual is okay for that.

>>12089258
>>12089263
>>12089266
>>12089270
>>12089374
I meant outside event maps.
I got them at 1-5.

>>12089366
They have some charm though, especially sepia ones.

>>12089389
Although it happens more often on event maps, I experienced the same thing on normal maps few months ago on 3-2-A before I started running 4-3. Sometimes it was 3x Chitose, sometimes certain destroyers.

>>12089391
So you have the colored image of Ashigara in Spithead?

>>12089401
Ashigara only. I don't have any coloured images of ships in ports, probably because there are so much stuff to colour.

>>12089417
This is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks a lot.

>>12089422
http://warshipsthailand.blogspot.jp has a lot of nice pictures.

>>12089428
What a fucking kuso ttk

>>12089451
( ・ ω ・ )

>>12089451
I bet all carriers are loaded with nothing but Reppus.

>>12089451
Please.
He just wants to level his trophy ship + gather more luck.

I just love the RNG; first two times I reached E-5 boss node I entered with an orange CV, ended up with two at red before they could fire, and manage to kill everything but the Hime. This last time I have just 1 CV at yellow AFTER boss airstrike, support fleet kills both fortresses and hits a Ru to orange, and yet I fail to defeat Wake and come out with more costly repairs (all thanks to Hime critting Yamato with her first attack). At least I'm still at the point where large chip damage is almost as good as a kill, that would have been so fucking awful if I was going for the last kill.

>>12089451
>かかってきなよ　( ・ ω ・ )
You should have realized he's mocking at you.

>>12089480
>mocking at you
That's not how one uses that word....

>>12089480
Still a kuso

>>12089458
There's no justification for putting the other low level ship in the 2nd slot other than to troll people. Not to mention all it takes is one sortie and the flagship wouldn't be level 1 anymore.

>>12089489
But what if he had an emergency?

>>12089493
still a kuso
forever a kuso
kuso ttk is extremely kuso

>>12089294
How many level 1's do you keep heartlocked?
Counting mine.
34

>>12089498
Didn't mean to quote.

>>12089498
Seven

Four of them are from this event (Akashi, Hamakaze, Sakawa, Agano)

Oldest one is Kumano who I got from Fall E-5

>>12089498
I have 81.

>>12089498
Not a single one. Ship girl list goes 78-72-64-57-25-21-20-20-20-20. Guess how many destroyers I collected instead of starting to clear world 5 or collecting actually useful ships.

>>12089498
Chitose and Fusou sisters (on account of being spares)
Shoukaku and Amatsukaze (on account of being new)
Shikinami and Chikuma (no excuse)

>>12089498
0, I like to sort by levels so newly got ships are last.

>>12089498
The only level 1 locked ship I have is Fubuki. Everyone else has at least couple of levels.

>>12089505
Mine's are mostly DD and CL.

>>12089509
I like you.

>>12089498
>>12089505
Oops misread that.
I have six.

>>12089498
Just a spare Iku, everybody else has been raised appropriately.

Completed E4. Should I stop there and start focusing on farming rare drops?

Boy I love green T at boss node. Opening airstrike hit Yamato for 60 damage and it went downhill from there. At least thanks to Zuikaku and chip damage from red BBs I at least chipped almost 1/3 of Wake's HP.

>>12089498
A Hachi, I got her like 2 hours ago.
Why don't you level them? At least send them on expeditions, my expedition-only ships are level 40-50 already.

>>12089520
if your admiral level is 79 or less, maybe.
If you are level 80+, E5 will crush your resources and soul, so not a good idea.

>>12089524
I use Mutsuki class for that.

>>12089527
Look at his subs level, he's clearly above 80.

>>12089527
I'm lvl 70. I worry about lack of good equipment btw. Only 2 46's, 1 sanshiki, reppu kai, reppu, shiden kai2.

Goddamn fuck you two

>>12089544
She's just protecting her squishy friend. We expect our ships to do same.

>>12089540
Nips already did the map with only 41cm.

That said, you clearly need at least 3-4 sanshiki. You also need more reppu or shiden kai2.

>>12089549
so next time Darwin will protect her squishy imouto?

>>12089168
At least that inspired me to read this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_mutilation_of_Japanese_war_dead

Ugh now I feel sick.

>>12089540
If I could do fuckin E-3 without 43cm and my highest ship was 53 I think you'll be fine dude

>>12089544
I'm sending Kirishima your way bitch.

>>12089627
Henderson-chan and Darwin-tan are going to defend their girlfriend

Henderson was E-4 because she's BB Hime's girlfriend
BB Hime is in this event, and even brought one of her many girlfriends, the hime, t to E-5, because Henderson asked her to check up on her older sister, which would be Darwin. And now Darwin has fallen for BB Hime too. Pic related.

It's all one giant clusterfuck of BB Hime being a playboy and all the pretty abyss girls being her girlfriends.

This was your regularly scheduled /u/ time.

Is there any better way to get radars than 10/300/250/250 or do I have to suffer?

>>12089635
Just don't give a fuck about radars

>>12089636
B-But they give nice accuracy and range and stuff for my BBs.

>>12089648
Does this stuff even matter.

It seems 5-5 is doable now, why aren't you working on it?

>>12089652
It used to. Now we use seaplanes.

>>12089652
Actually yes accuracy matters. There was image flying around showing how big the boost it gives actually is.
>>12089664
> why aren't you working on it?
Atrocious bauxite cost for air superiority.

>>12089664
Because I was going to sort my equipment out and send my fleet tomorrow, gott damm, gimme some time to sleep I only just grinded out everything I wanted from the event

>>12089664
What's the point?

>>12089678
Need one more medal for another blueprint.

Do you have to use a medal for resources first before the option for exchanging comes up? I'm at the item menu and have my medals clicked, but the option for exchanging them as I see it in the wiki pic is not showing.

>>12089664
Re-chan is still a horrible bitch, air superiority requires like 3CV full of Reppu and if you don' get superiority, Re rapes you even harder than before

5-5 can go fuck itself

>>12089698
> air superiority requires like 3CV full of Reppu
You need 2CV 1CVL because of compass. Kaga, Taiho and Chitose with 3xreppu 1xType 62 is enough. Say goodbye to your bauxite though.

Re is cute, you should 5-5 so you can pet Re.

>>12089713
something like this?
Not sure how much Extra is needed since I never truly paid attention to how many planes are lost where but 50 should definitely be enough

Still, not only does this hurt on bauxite, Re is still deadly with her firepower and torps.

>>12089696
You have to click the Use button in the lower right; no, it will not make them convert to resources instantly like opening the medal boxes, it opens the popup where you can convert to plans, resources, or cancel.

>>12089731
>medal boxes
obviously I meant furniture boxes, whoops

We should start having threads dedicated to individual girls, I think we're at the point where there's enough content being produced. What do you guys think

>>12089747
No.

>>12089747
why do people ask permission to make threads

>>12089747
I like it. But maybe condense destroyers into classes-specific threads instead. Then we can shit up Kagerou and Yuugumo threads with arguments about where Akigumo belongs.

>>12089747
which kancolle wud u fug, the board

>>12089759
>>12089763
I'm to scared to make a new thread someone help

At this rate, I will chipping the boss gauge till zero one month later.
First run and my resources already having a nightmare.

>>12089768
Just make a Shimakaze one.

>>12089774
That would be one lonely thread.

Make a thread for -kazes, they can throw a party.

>>12089759
Can I make a Murakumo thread just for myself and myself only?

>>12089777
I especially dislike the -kazes Apart from Hatsukaze.
>>12089778
No. Make one for all the starter if you want.

>>12089778
No, leave some Murakumo for me too

>>12089791
Error Cat my greatest foe!

>>12089784
I'll kick your shit in.

>>12089799
Why? I only spoke the truth.
They are the cancer, they keep on increasing their numbers for no reason.

>>12089809

>>12089814
I'll kick your shit in.

>>12089809
All of the new -kazes are very cute. What more do you want out of your destroyers than cuteness?

>>12089816
>I especially dislike the -kazes
Sorry, mate, the one you're mad at isn't me.

>>12089821
>What more do you want out of your destroyers than cuteness?
I don't ask them for more. It's just that apart from Hatsukaze and Amatsukaze they are not really cute.
>>12089825
I'm mad at anyone who does the Suzuwho? joke.

>>12089832
I was poking at fun at you because you said you hated all the -kazes (minus Hatsukaze) and then posted a picture of Suzukaze, unless that was someone else.

>>12089837
Oh sorry for acting retarded then. It's just that I thought we were talking about Kagerou class.

>>12089841
But none of the originals' names end that way?

Except Yukikaze, but she "graduated" or something.

ｏｈ　ｍｙ　ｇｏｄ　ｆｉｎａｌｌｙ　ａ　ｇｅｔ

>>12089878
woops, forgot to mention e-4

>>12089878
Ｙｏ， ｔｅｉｔｏｋｕ！

May this film about the heroic last stand of a handful of Marines on Wake Island inspire you in your efforts in clearing E-5.

>>12089878
Has anyone made a rokurokubi joke about her yet?

It seriously don't look like it should connect.

>>12089881
Those Marines look awfully jolly for people fending off two thousand Japs.

I learn about 2-3 farming so I think "ok, let's make a sub". Got I-168 on my 2nd try. I notice dat ass, restrain myself. I replace my first fleet and send her to be slaughtered directly to 2-3.

I watch her great damage CG. Finish the sortie. Ok, time to pay a visit to sad panda.

Phew.

Ok time to sortie again. After 2 or 3 sorties I have to visit sad panda again. This has happened 5 times already in less than 6 hours.

Please, make it stop! someone cover that ass and back already ;_; I'm even tring to craft another sub so I can rest from this curse.

For the support expedition,Level 31 Zuikaku or Level 30 Akagi?
I can't decide for the last CV spot, for shelling purposes.

>>12089885
This isn't the wiki, you know.

>>12089885
nice blog lmao

>>12089889

Whichever one you think is cuter.

I can't wait for this event to end so all the wiki trash leaves the thread

>>12089902
How about leaving yourself?

>>12089900
No, I want the wild, murderous one for killing staff in E5.

>>12089902
spoilers: these threads have been shit for like, six months

>>12089885
Like and upvoted.

>>12089910
Proof?

>>12089910
Spoilers: If you think the threads have been /this/ shit for six months you're even dumber than the wiki faggots.

>>12089919
you are the proof

>>12089923
Oh, Ok.

>>12089168
Ha ha ha. Look at this faggot blogging his hate. (tl;dr but I could sense his angry at the game)

I bet, in reality, he sank his high level ship, got mad and never came back.
or maybe he's the teitoku who posted his api here and then someone scrapped all his shipgirls.

How can we fix Akashi?
These essentially free repair dock is a shitty gimmick that screw up free pvp experience.

>>12089928
Free pvp XP should never have been a thing to begin with.

>>12089928
Make her function the same way except that she only auto-heals the least damaged ships that aren't in a fleet or a dock. Akashi herself has to be free as well.

>>12089930
What's the point of PvP then?

>>12089928
>that screw up free pvp experience.

Not if they use a slot for a high level ship or level their Akashi.

Who wouldn't want to level her anyway? She's a cutie.

>>12089931
>What's the point of PvP then?
Fighting against other high levelled Kanmusus.

>>12089932
I plan on leveling Akashi after I get Isuzu's second remodel.

I still dunno whether to spread levels out to everyone or focus on a select few ships.

Out of curiosity: for those who married a kai ni ship, does it also affect the original library slot as well?

Any tips on getting through 2-3 with noob destroyers for B20?
I have been trying with Taihou and Kaga with green and blue planes

>>12089960
No

>>12089927
Nah, it's >>12089283

>>12089928
Akashi has been a blessing for my fleet.
It has saved me around ~20 bucket counts.

Finally cleared E-5. Being able to clear the whole event feels satisfying. Used up about 70k fuel, 60k steel and ammo and like 30k baux. And of course, no ships lost.
Main fleet was 4 BB 2 CV for the first few run, switched to 3 BB 3 CV midway and switched back to the first composition for the final blow. Support fleet was 2 BB 2 CV.
How is /jp/ doing in the event?

>>12090040
If only the time count isn't 20 minutes but much faster, she'd be much more useful.

E4 preboss

>>12090044

How often did you sparkle, if at all? I've been sparkling to 70+ for all my runs and it's really wearing me down.

I assume the support fleet was just for the boss?

>>12090044
I'm still stuck at the last kill.

>>12089931
>What's the point of PvP then?
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their shipdaughters.

Damn, can't even strip Amatsukaze enough to see her nipples.

Just finished E-4 i don't have any other good DDs so i had to go pretty heavy.

>>12090211
You don't need good DDs for E4. Level 40 expedition ships are enough for it, as long as you have damage controls and good ASW equipment.

>>12090211
I don't even know what to say.

>>12090123
Support fleet was for the boss

And yes, I sparkled every single ships. Managed to get to the boss consistently ever since I started sparkling, with only 2 retreat due to Symbiotic Battleship Princess node screwing me up

>>12089168
>Blatantly sexist power fantasies
I stopped reading at that part because I was in pain from all the laughing.

>>12090276
Cute.

>>12089217
God damn, I'm on the same boat. Two Mikuma, a Maruyu, Iku and Hachi. No Tanikaze and I'm down to 6 Damecon.

I have not been playing for a few weeks already and I've forgotten how annoying the random targeting system can be.

GOD DAMN IT.

>>12090407
Wait, why Akagi at first slot?

>>12090417
So she won't eat reds left and right I guess.

>>12090425
Does it really help? Flagship protection doesn't seem to activate much unless you're using diamond.

>>12090434
Not a clue, but whatever helps him sleep at night.

What the best way to complete the 5x W2 boss kill quest? I've already spent 6 hours on 2-2 and still not 50%.

>>12090490
2-3 subs. All day every day.

>>12090490
It's not worth doing.

>>12090490
I don't do this quest because it's a waste of time and motivation

5-5 fully sparkled. wish me luck /jp/

>>12090541
Don't forget, since you're sparkled you're safe to advance on red. Go for it!

>>12090546
Advanced on red, not bad

They should add Moosashi to LSC soon, right? I mean, her event was 3 month after Yamato's and Yamato has been available in LSC for a while.

>>12090621
Should be somewhere after the even and perhaps a few weeks before the next event?

>>12090634
Hopefully they not will be such faggots to add her only after announcing the event

>>12090638
Because we all love extrapolation, considering that the opening of LSC coincides with the Appregio mini-event and the fact the summer anime is coming soon, perhaps we could expect another series of LSC-exclusive ship be added on the first episode of the anime.

Why are you all still here ?
Everyone is waiting for you at /kc/ !

I've kept getting matched against another admiral named "Cthulu" on Sukumo. Is that one of you guys?

>>12090662
>/kc/
I've been out for months from 4chan in general, so what is this?

>>12090662
Why aren't you back at /ghost/?

How the fuck is anyone supposed to farm E-1?
I literally get shot to red every second sortie before reaching the bossnode and for some reason all my ships decide to miss at the ta node

>>12090686
What ships are you using?

>>12090686
With a lot of buckets

>>12090688

>>12090686
2CA, 3CAV, 1BB

Still eats some buckets.

>>12090691
Switch Kirishima with a clt

>>12090691
Huh. Just checking, but what's your rank?

>>12090490
Forget to activate it. I've reached 2-2 boss node 5 times in row this way, only to see that I need to do it again.

>>12090691
The fleet you're using to farm it is far better than mine. You shouldn't be having any problems with it.

For reference, this is mine. I almost always get only scratch damage on all of the nodes except the boss node. You're being sent on the south route, right?

>>12090705
Line ahead or double line?

>>12090698
You mean server ranking? 少将 with only 24 points since I don't really sortie much.

>>12090696
>>12090697
I'll try these out right away, thank you for your advice.

>>12090705
Yes, that's correct.

>>12090708
Line ahead. You shouldn't be using any other formation if you're fielding CLTs.

>>12090712
I know, I was just wondering because more often than not, I eat more that scratch damage, with a higher level fleet.

>>12090669
/kc/ is an Kancolle imageboard that I host and nobody uses.

Why do you faggots still play this shit game? It's so boring.

>>12090714
I would take the advice of some of the above posters and swap out Kirishima for another CLT. You don't need a second round of shelling on the first node, the second node has a BB already, and the boss node can be easily S ranked by going to night battle.

>>12090722
I'm not that guy though. Running it with 2CS 2CV 2CLT

>>12090662
To be honest I'm amazed anybody remembers it exists.

>>12090723
>2CV

Are you getting sent to the south route or north route?

>>12090726
I meant CAV, sorry

Is it possible to get another ship if it get's destroyed?
For example, if I lose my starter ship, can I get it as a drop or something, or is it gone forever?

What is the name of the girl in OP's image? I don't play Kancolle but that girl is a qt

>>12090746
She's gone forever.

>>12090746
It's gone forever, sorry

>>12090749
Her name is slutface.

>>12090749
Darwin-chan or seaport hime.

>>12090757
I always thought Darwin chan is E5 boss. So what does E5 boss represent?

>>12090757
Ty, anon. Here, have some 2hus.

>>12090759
Wake-tan

>>12090761
Ah, thanks.

>>12090761
Look at that wide, gaping hole
Slut

>>12090746
You can get her again, but it's not the same.

I'm trying to clear E-4 with 4 BB and 2 CV. It's obviously crippling my resources and I'm practically sending fllets to expeditions all day without rest.

Given that I've seen some people here using destroyers and light cruisers for clearing the event maps I was wondering that, if I level my destroyers, light and heavy cruisers I'd be able to clear 2-4 replacing my BB with then.

>>12090856
So...how are you going to kill subs with that composition?

>>12090858

Damn, my bad... I eant 2-4

>>12090856
E-4 is sub only at boss, do you mean E-3?

You probably could clear using only CA, CL, and DD, but that required enough luck and patience.
I've seen some anon here clearing using those setup.

>>12090856
To clear 2-4 with cruisers you need 70+ ships. You're probably being fucked up by your equipment, read the combat page and fix your setup accordingly.

>>12090862
That's probably a terrible idea. Destroyers only start being good enough for something like that around level 60/70 at least.
Stick to the BBs and CVs. Post your fleet, like levels and the like.

I don't mind my all runs ended like this, as long as I did damage to boss.

>>12090761
Why are we calling Wake, Wake-tan, but Darwin is Darwin-chan?

>>12090856
Remodel BBs(grind them at 2-4-A node to remodel levels) and max their firepower and armor, equip them with 3xred guns 1x seaplane, remodel CVs, equip them with torpedo bombers, have exactly 1 Type 62 Zero Fighter-Bomber equipped on one of CVs, use F5 formation when you go H node route.

>>12090868

I know that, with this fleet I'll only need some luck to clear it in a few more runs. But my main issue is that whenever I have the bad luck of damaging one of my CVs or get any other ship on red I've got to return to base to not lose a ship or have a huge lump of useless metal in the case of CV and I have to spend almost 400 fuel to resupply then.

I just want less fuel consummption...

>>12090872
Because Henderson is also Henderson-chan and you're blinder than blind if you don't see the obvious visual connection between the two

>>12090874
Get your ships to lvl30+, remodeled and fully modernized before attempting to clear 2-4.

>>12090874
You need at least 130 firepower to do damage to boss, else it will be just scratch damage.

>>12090872
Sparkle, you fool.

5-5 clear, ~10k fuel/ammo, ~8k steel, ~2k bauxite. Easier than prepatch overall.

>>12090883
How did you deal with lack of Air Superiority?

>>12090885
I don't lack air superiority.

>>12090883
Could I trouble you for your fleet composition and loadout, good sir?

>>12090883
Are you Tatsuya Shiba?

>>12090874
Sub cheese.

>>12090892
3BB 2CV 1CVL
BB 46 46 Recon T14/32
CV Reppu Reppu Reppu/Reppu Kai Ryuusei Kai
CVL Reppu Shinden Shinden Damecon

>>12090904
Did you use Yamato-class?

>>12090904
Great, thanks.

>>12090876
Oh, so my headcanon now Darwin-chan is Henderson-chan's older sister and she's seeking revenge because at fall event, many admirals attacking her sister.

>>12090880
Okay, I will.
And now they kill everyone but the boss.

>>12090899
>>/a/

You save a lot of resources by putting up the right setup with the correct equipment. You don't even need any damecons post-patch.

>>12090904
Would you say you have been lucky with Re missing torpedos and such? I'm worried I might blow three to five times that number of res

Mikuma from E-4 and Hamakaze from 2-2 in the same day.

>>12090908
My headcanon is even more complex
Henderson is basically BB Hime's girlfriend and asks BB Hime to go check up on her older sister (Darwin). BB Hime is so taken by Darwin that she includes Darwin into her harem and stays around but instead of staying with Darwin, Darwin asks her to protect Wake-tan. BB Hime calls one of her other girlfriends (The hime from B node in E-5) to help her out while Henderson tends to the beaten up Darwin. (And swears revenge, watch out for her showing up in Midway)

This has been your regularly scheduled yuri headcanon time

>>12090906
Yes, Yamato only, I don't have Musashi. If you're going to attempt with Fast BBs only you can sortie with 3CV instead of using a CVL.

>>12090909
Putting a damecon on my Zuihou saved me from 2 pre-boss retreats though. She'd do mediocre damage even if you put a red on her anyway, so I decided to put a damecon for safety purposes.

>>12090910
8 runs, 5 line ahead comp, 3 double line comp. Elite Re misses torpedoes every time on double line, Kaga and Zuihou to red once, 1 scratch damage on Yamato and 2 misses. Kept all my ship's fatigue at >80 for every run.

>>12090904
Sparkle/support fleet?

>>12090925
Good point on the damecon on Zuihou, even better if you have Type 62s to make up for missing FP while still having a token attack to pick off CLs and balls.

>>12090926
All support fleets are the same. 1DD 2CV 2BB 1DD, every slot with the strongest gun or red plane you have. As for sparkling, I'll leave that for Wo to answer.

>>12090926
I've never noticed a difference that can't be attributed to RNG when sparkling. Always sparkle support expedition's flagship though.

>>12090926
Main fleet full sparkle at >80, sortie support full sparkle for near 100% chance of appearing at all nodes, and boss support flagship sparkle.

>>12090946
I noticed well over 90% chance for trash support with only flagship sparkle.

>>12090908
Keep trying.

How do you resist the urge to LSC?

>>12090960
By doing LSC. After the event is over I'll focus all my resources on getting Yamato.

>>12090960
You keep telling yourself those resources you stockpiled is for some event that will suck your resources out of your stockpile like a blackhole consumes a god damn star.

>>12090960
I'm waiting till the end to see if they add/change something, and I'm farming for Hatsukaze for the time being. When the event is officially over and they don't announce anything, I'll throw the remaining 100k into LSC

>>12090960
If E5 taught me anything, it's that Yamato and Taihou are worth their cost.

>>12090960
Not having dev mats is the only thing stopping me right now.

>>12090972
How does this happen. I always have more than 400.

>>12090977
I only started in December so haven't had much time to stock dev mats, and I don't have Yamato yet.

>>12090981
I started in February and have Yamato but no Taihou.
Did you do LSC with 100 dev mats? It's not useful.

>>12090963
Lets be serious.
LSC ships > shitty sakawa
The event reward is just not worth it.

>>12090985
I had 357 dev mats after clearing E-5. You go through them pretty quick even with 4/6/6/2/20.

There is no explanation needed for this.

>>12090960
By having all ships that are LSC exclusive

>>12090995
I've seen worse on the wiki.

>>12090985
Not that guy, but I did 48 Taihou attempts using 20 mats. That alone is 960 gone. Now I'm sitting at 486. Hopefully I'll get Yamato before I exhaust that.

By the way, I remember some discussion back in the day that using 1 or 20 devmats is pretty much the same. od we have any conclusion on that?

>>12090998
I might go back and extend this with the remaining 30 pages but god, it hurts to see so much stupidity

>>12090960
By looking at Bismarcks stats, not her sexy curves.

>>12090999
I never noticed any real difference. I got both Taihou and Hotel with just 1 devmat. After ~90 attempts nearly ran out of devmats, continued with 1 instead of 20 and got them after ~40 more tries.

It's all RNG bullshit anyway, so whatever superstition you believe in will work wonders.

>>12090995
It's things like this that make me hope the next event will be another November 2013 event. It fills me with much schadenfreude to watch their ships drop like flies.

>>12090995
I'm more impressed that you take your time collecting and made this.
>>12090960
By forgetting that there's this red button in construction page called LSC.

>>12091000
It really seems the current event did lure some retards in, I stopped reading the comments on that page.

>>12091007
Please no. I wish to take it easy. I can accept any form of ridiculous requirements except for regenerating health bar.

>>12091010
Blame anime.

>>12091007
Come on, poor shipgirls can't chose their TTK and they're suffering under these kuso unwillingly.

>since you guys already know about how damage dealt in this game is done via % rather than flat
Nice forum

>>12091008
took me maybe an hour to go through the pages and screenshot the stupid shit with logbook and then paste-in the file into paint.

I was waiting for repairs.

>>12091007
Oh yes, please.
I want the entire wiki to get buttblasted into the next level of existence.

>>12091010
The wiki isn't any better outside of events. There is still the same level of idiocy.

>>12091011
This.
I'd rather have a flagship RE than regenerating health.

>>12091007
You can wish bad things towards kuso-ttks as much as you want, but the shipgirls are innocent and don't deserve that.

>>12091012
No, that wave is still to come on us.

>>12091015
During the event the quantity of those low quality posts did increase.

>>12091012
Can't wait for endless 2-4 crying(or, hell, even 1-4) despite the fact that it's easier then ever now with day battle double attacks.

>>12091017
>that wave is still to come on us.
The VPN wall is still pretty high. So it's not that bad.

>>12091019
>day battle double attacks.
It's kinda hard to get air dominance/superiority for early game, I think. 2-4 on the other hand will be much easier but people will still complain because they lack patience.

>>12091017
And the wikiturds continue to spoonfeed everyone so all those scumbags will continue being kuso ttk

Looking at the wiki comment, sometimes i wonder whether it's a genuine comment or just false-flag planted for us to make fun of.

>>12091030
For the sake of your own sanity, just imagine that everyone on the internet is simply trying to troll each other.

>>12091027
>It's kinda hard to get air dominance/superiority for early game
Putting 3 Model 21 Zeros on Akagi is not hard, you now.

>>12091035
I was slow back then. I only got my Akagi in stage 2. But I guess that's a valid tactic. Newcomers would be shocked on how we even look down on float planes back then.

>>12090995
But half of these are fair questions,and the other half are your run off the mill dumb comments. There's nothing particularly bad in that, or at least nothing on the level of "I sunk 5 ship at yelow, why? nayt battol..."

>>12091038
In another 2-3 months we will see that.
And it's a good thing float plane is useful now, I almost scrap all of them for make space.

>>12091048
>I almost scrap all of them for make space.
Thankfully, the hoarder in me convinced me to leave two zero recon float planes before scrapping the rest. For the rest, I have to get mine from newly dropped CL.

>>12091047
If you think half of those are fair questions you are one of them

where do i find another inazuma

>>12091057
If this is the first event they had, then it's not surprising. Then again, google translating wikiwiki would have given them some hint.

I'm quite surprised at the high level though. Some of them have very strong ships.

Where is the Bingo?

>>12091060
>Where do I find another Inazuma?
At 1-1.

>>12091061
Anon please
There is being new and then there is ignoring the entire event page and common sense resulting in asking dipshit questions

>>12090955
I don't think I will be able to chip off the gauge until the event ends, or farming drops.
Exams is coming

>>12089428
You know, I expected Yuudachi to look more, I dunno, impressive? It looks so plain, I can't even think about it actually fighting.

>>12091112

>>12091115
Amazing.

>>12091112
You remember Yuudachi's original art?

Nobody likes her until she went Kai Ni.

>>12091112
Isn't that Battleship's job to looking majestic/impressive?
>>12091115
Heh, I could feel the anger.

>>12091117
Her original hair reminds me of Barbie's hair actually.

>>12091119
>Isn't that Battleship's job to looking majestic/impressive?
Only if you're Hitler. I think the Japs are a bit more practical. I mean, do they seriously think the pagoda super structure is impressive?

Fuck you, I just want Uzuki, not another fucking Hamakaze. Is a single Mutsuki so much to ask?

Farming E-4 for Tanikaze, I get 4 Mikumas and not a single Tanikaze, yay.

>>12089168
He's right that the Japanese did do terrible things though.

>>12091128
>Is a single Mutsuki so much to ask?
Yes pyon~

>>12091117
I liked her though, she and Murasame were cute enough to warrant perma lock. I never actually deployed her before remodel though.
Murasame k2 when?

>>12091133
Murasame already got sprite change so never.

>>12091133
Sadly, never.

>>12091131
Its completely unrelated to Kancolle though. Besides borrowing some names and locations.

>>12091131
Not like white pigs hasn't done terrible things themselves, >>12089571 for example is one of less disturbing ones.

>>12091140
>Besides borrowing some names and locations.
More than enough to complicate matters, people tend to make sense of what they see.

>>12091140
But the enemies you're fighting are murrikans

>>12091128
I've been hoarding all of the pyons for myself. Sorry. I don't even know why I'm holding on to them. Maybe I'll raise them for their shitty radar.

>>12091146
...and Australians.

>>12091152
And the Dutch and British, apparently. I just wish they add Allies ship already so they can shut those SJW warriors up.

>>12091152
Well, we had ABDA this event. American, British, Dutch, Australians.

>>12091156
Seriously. Just add one American or British ship.

>>12091162
They shouldn't, really. Backlash will be disastrous.

>>12091112
Destroyers don't really look impressive that much.

>>12091163
From who? The fans of this game won't care so long as it's a cute girl.

>>12091163
I really wonder though. Do the main playerbase really care that much? Then again, we have WW2 veterans playing this though.

>>12091166
It'll be awkward if Enterprise-chan enters the roster, at least for the girls her aviators sunk.

>>12091171
Not as bad as American subs, I suppose.

>>12091171
They're just using the names of the ships. It's not like it's actually those ships.

>>12091166
Your country won in WWII, right? You'll never understand the resentment of the side that lost and is a subject of victor's justice even today.

>>12091166
>>12091163
Most of the qt girls tragic story come from WW2 romanticism. Their sinking line portray them as tragic heroine dying while fighting even big bad amurrikan.
The wo might as well be enterprise. Wo is our savior.

>>12091177
>It's not like it's actually those ships.
The backlash comes with the memories and history dealing with the ship. Not just the names. Names are powerful as much as I hate it.

>>12091179
>12091117
I don't think anybody from the current generation, whether victors or loser's side, understands the resentment of the old geezers.

I mean, look at south-east asia... the Japanese stomped all over them in WW2, but they're pretty much all weeaboos now.

The only 'resentment' I see are the retards who laugh over earthquakes in Japan and yell "pearl harbor durr".

>>12091179
Bitch please, if they didn't want to win the war they shouldn't have started it.

>>12091164
It all depends on the angle.
>>12091187
That's why I said you will not understand.

>>12091179
Bitch please, if they didn't want to lose the war they shouldn't have started it.

>>12091171
I would like to see DD-579 implemented.

>>12091179
I doubt people actually care. I'm Chinese and I'm a weeaboo despite what they did to China.

>>12091206
With a luck rating that will make Mutsu, Fuso, Yamashiro, Taihou, and hell even Shinano, feel better for themselves.

100+ E-1 runs already and still no Hatsukaze

Am I the only one here who hasn't got virgin wind from this event?

If anything, it's SJW who would complain the loudest.
Screaming incoherent sentences regarding sexualized ship daughters and war crimes.

>>12091219
No

>>12091220
i can't imagine who you're responding to

>>12091219
Got one in 102 runs. You're close, I think.

What's the iona recipe again? 4000/4500/5500/2000?

>>12091233

>>12091236
Is this guaranteed to give Yamato?

>>12091236
Where's webm?

>>12091241
Yes, or you get your resources back.

>>12091241
100%

>>12091236
How did this recipe came to be?

>>12091249
Linear regression, I think.

>>12091241
Yes, I tried it once and LSC gave me two Yamatos, a Bismarck, and a Musashi in three crafts!

>>12091236
Why do these never give the dev kit amount?

>>12091254
Because devkits are placebo.
