Back to the bath with you

Delicious Darwin x Hime

Why are we getting raided by Abyss scum?

>>12110254
you call those women with those useless piece of meat delicious? you have a bad taste anon

I did it, guys.

>>12110260

>>12110257
Its called shit taste and its a incurable condition that affects many admirals here in this thread.

I have no idea how someone can be attracted to monsters like that.

Guys, how about Wo? Is she forgotten?

Anyone try this successfully?
http://pastebin.com/wF2V748S

>>12110293
Why is Wo still not playable?

Fuck I want to play but god damn I'm too stupid to do all the shit to actually join.
Is it worth it?

>>12110293
Compared to Hime, Henderson and Darwin, Wo is a bit bland and too vanilla

>>12110302
Yes. But if you can't be bothered to jump through some simple hoops to play, this may not be your kind of game.

>>12110307
Fair enough. I don't know Jap anyways I usually just trial and error my way through it.

So Midway-tan will be a flat or another useless undead cowtits again?

>>12110329
Hopefully she won't be a disgusting flatshit piece of garbage

>>12110311
The game is impossible if you don't know Jap. Don't bother.

>>12110329
Probably even flatter, even more Lolified than Wake-tan.

>>12110296
What is it supposed to do?

>>12110347
She's gonna be a dignified lady like BB Hime

>>12110348
Bypass DMM's region check. Let's you play straight from the browser without a VPN or API link.

>>12110329
I'm betting she will have drill hair + useless meat with haughty attitude.

So many disgusting pedophiles in this thread

>>12110356
Where do you think you are?

>>12110367
In the continuation of a thread where we didn't have so many pedophiles.

So how do I use Log Book with flash player?

>>12110372
Darwin is busty as hell and it's all people have been posting in the thread so far.

>>12110375
Time to post more of her because she's an actual woman, not some prepubescent failure.

>>12110296
Ain't that just the cookie method, just with another (not javascript) way to generate the cookie?

>>12110380
i don't know man, that's basically saying all you see is the piece of meat and nothing else, such low standard.

>>12110381
I guess. I don't really understand how or if it works, so I was asking if others knew.

>>12110380
You're not the boss of me

>>12110329
Wasn't the actual airstrip on Midway tiny? I can't imagine her being cowtits.

>>12110296
It works, but if I am idle for a long time it just "kicks" me out and I have to F5. This doesn't happen with the API link.

>>12110390
How long is a "long time"?

>>12110391
No idea really, I just stand from my desk, go to do something. Maybe 1 hour?

>>12110394
Damn, that sucks. I might still give it a try, but that doesn't sound encouraging.

>>12110406
Yeah, its a safer method tho. But really, if you are at home there's not big risk in getting your account stolen by using API.

>>12110409
What a wonderful way to obtain a new API without using a VPN.

>>12110390
Well, that just happens with the cookie method, where the dialog box will appear. You should have been able to ignore it though.

>>12110426
I just pressed whatever because I don't know moonrunes...

>>12110426
What's the dialog box?

>>12110437
Error. HEY YOU SHOULD RELOAD THE PAGE
OK | cancel.

>>12110390
You can also use it to get your API instead of using a VPN.

>>12110449
Yeah that seems to be the best use you can give it right now.

>>12110356
You don't want to be lolidommed by the island demon? Really now?

You don't want to look up at her condescending smile as she rubs your penis with her smooth, delicate, corpse-cold feet, covered by a flimsy later of fabric that only serves to enhance the sensation? You wouldn't want her to sit on you and bury your face in between her creamy thighs, the heavenly aroma of her XX-year old pussy inches away from your nose? Your deepest wish isn't for her to bind and gag you and mount you in front of the entire abyssal fleet, her loli vagina tightening around you as she runs a pale, dainty hand across your cheek and gently whispers to your ear that you're her property and will never return to see your ship girls again?

What is wrong with you? I want to be broken by her, and I can't see why any other red-blooded man wouldn't.

>>12110457
If she and her sister/friend/lover didn't cockblock me from Sakawa, then sure.

But all Abyss should be exterminated in the end.

>>12110474
But that's what made me fall for her.

I'm not ordinarily into loli, when I first saw her, I was none too impressed by a scrawny little kid playing at being an event boss. After a twenty hour onslaught that ended in complete failure, I was in love.

Then the dreams started.

Is this game like a grinder version of Puzzle Pirates?

I saw it when it first came out but with the increased sexuilzation I'm not so sure

I WANT TO IMPREGNATE WAKE-TAN!

>>12110503
What part of this game is sexualized? The girls get their clothes blown off, sure, but it is usually mild, if you discount Yubari's nipple-that-on-second-thought-might-also-have-been-a-bruise.

Besides, half the girls are undead deep sea abominations, having sex with them may cause their eyes or fingers to fall out and they probably have moray eels nesting in their vaginas.

>>12110457
I don't. I guess something is wrong with me in that I think all shinkaisei are filthy apparitions, dredges of negative emotion that disgustingly attempt to imitate the one true fascism of the human race. They are twisted filth and you are twisted filth for falling for them. I keep the same policy for my own shipdaughters, in that I disown them if they ever turn Abyss. It keeps them alive and unsunk out of fear.

but what in the actual fuck dude, don't get into that abyss shit, only asshole contrarians and darkness-obsessed Alliedfags do that

>>12110503
Lol yea

>>12110523
Abyss isn't for contrarians, it's for masochists.

Besides, don't you want to dive down through black abysses to the cyclopean and many-columned Y’ha-nthlei, and forever dwell amidst wonder and glory alongside your island demon wife in that lair of the Deep Ones?

It's been a while since I see this kind of drops. Maybe I should stop sub-slaving.

>>12110559
No.
Just, no.
Also, Lovecraft is shit.

>>12110374
Set it up with IE instead of firefox/chrome.

This game really knows how to make you mad.

>>12110565
I made a promise. If I clear E5 in 10 runs I'll never do dailies with subs ever again.
Guess what, I cleared it in 8 runs. I'm really fucking afraid to field my subs now, dailies or weeklies or not.

>>12110597
Nah, it's just RNG throwing spaghetti at you

>>12110599
You actually reach and clear Wake-tan on every sortie? How many virgins do you sacrifice to get that kind of luck?

>>12110601
I haven't fielded subs even once since I cleared it since I'm fucking scared. That kind of luck.

>>12110605
It's not like the first node of 2-3 can hit your subs to red. Nope, even green T an Shioi won't get hit to red. It's ok, just keep going!

>>12110612
That's not the point. That kind of luck to reach and clear the boss node at every sortie is sustained by his promise not to sub slave.

>>12110568
>Lovecraft is shit
Them's fighting words, son. Lovecraft is fine. He pushed the "unspeakable, indescribable horror" thing too far sometimes, but his heart was in the right place, and nobody does worldbuilding quite like him.

Abyss is also fine. Despite being the designated villains, they're clearly as appealing as the player-side ships. Let people decide for themselves whether they want to put their dicks in wholesome ship girls or decaying abyssal horrors.

>>12110605
Better keep your promise unless you want the wrath of RNG god.

>>12110612
That's going to backfire on me horribly, I just know it. The least thing I want to do is lady luck abandoning me forever.

>>12110599
If I knew sooner, maybe I will do the same promise.
Maybe I could clear it under 15 tries!

>>12110618
Stop believing in superstitions, they are not real.

>>12110630
next you'll say UC BGM doesn't work wonders!

>>12110616
Lovecraft is fine until people start wanting to desperately fuck the god-eating abominations, then it just gets stupid.

>>12110672
I'm glad they get forks thrown at them.

>>12110672
I don't know, some of the Lovecraftian horrors are probably alright with fucking. Deep ones actively interbreed with humans, Yithians are probably interested in sex, Elder Things probably wouldn't mind, ghouls neither, Y'golonac is all about sex.

That movie Dagon even had an octopus imouto end, despite also featuring things like gratuitous human sacrifice and people being skinned alive.

>>12110633
Not that guy.
But i just tried it and fuck this UC BGM.
Still stuck on No Taihou Club,

>>12110390
>>12110426
I made the guide and the dialog box shouldn't appear if all the cookies are added.
Maybe try adding them again after logging in, or executing them line-by-line?

So what is everyone going to do during the down time.

I have every ships except Tanikaze so I cant farm for her. My resources hardly even budge, I probably have more now compare to the start of the spring event.

Is Kancolle finished?

>>12110693
You didn't time it well.

Is Saya consider an Abyss? Because I like Eldritch Abominations such as Southern War Demon.

>>12110693
You fool, UC BGM only works for maps.

In order to get it to work for crafting, you need to play it backwards.

>>12110708
level every shipgirl to 99 and max out their stats

>>12110708
Grinding and stockpiling. Boring really, I wish next event doesn't take months to arrive. They could throw more extra operations at us.

They should bring back the Ironbottom Sound tier difficult like in E-4 and E-5.

It will be a good wall against those fucking casuals.

>>12110722
Stop talking about things you know nothing about.

>>12110708
- Diversify fleet
- Bring backups, main DD/CL and Yamato to level 70+
- Clear maps
- Farm for missing ships.
- Cautiously try LSC.

>>12110722
Fall event actually took slightly less resources compared to this one, if you ignore Yahagi farming.

If you were lucky enough to have a good E4 run (which was something like 15k/10k/15k/x) instead of spending 50k at it, the rest of the event was fairly mild, especially since you would usually field a total of 4 DDs, CAs and CLTs instead of going in with a full BB/CV fleet.

I know it's not really hard to get her, but I'm happy nonetheless as I have no Nagato-class or Yamato-class. Got her while doing 5-2 just now.

>>12110710
This >>12110717
Thank you Anon

>>12110684
I liked that show. Kuuko a best.

>>12110708
I need to figure out who I'm going to marry.

>>12110733
>I know it's not really hard to get her
I got her after 4 months of playing when I farmed one of the christmas event map for 2 days just to get her while I had 4 Nagato and Musashi,
treat her well.

>>12110742
>4 Nagatos

Did you get all of them from the Xmas event maps? ...Wish I had been playing back then.

>>12110754
No, I get her everywhere.

>>12110708
Waiting for Haruna Kai 2

>>12110708
I will get the cards I'm missing (DD zweis) and grind quite a lot.

>>12110708
Craft equipment and don't stop until even non-boss support has 46cm.

>>12110708
I want to be done with LSC before they add Musashi (sadly that's unlikely to happen), in the meantime I'm grinding my CAs and carriers in the dailies. I still have a couple drop ships missing, but they can wait till the next event.

Is it just me, or did they change the fatigue recovery rate from 3/3min to 1/1?

>>12110779
what recipe and flagship do you use for 46cm?

>>12110842
10/300/250/10
10/251/250/10
10/251/250/30 (+sanshiki)

>>12110845
I mean which one do you specifically use, I keep getting penguins.

>>12110853
I use all of them. 46cm are rare anyway, so you shouldn't be surprised.

Apparently this was being sold in Reitaisai

>>12110298
I know it's not gonna happen, but an "abyss route" or just being able to recruit (balanced) versions of the various bosses would be fuckin great.

>>12110874
Kancolle is invading Touhou territory? Can't wait for 2nd Otakudom War at C86.

>>12110881
All those muh 2hu butthurts.

>>12110881
I don't think Kancolle will win long war of attrition, but it will have a few victories right now. Quite fitting for a game about Combined Fleet.

>>12110880
Fuck this, just put in Allied shipgirls already.

>>12110881
Mark my words, it will be the stuff of legends. Japan will be reduced to a lifeless wasteland in the aftermath, populated only by rowing bands of gangsters who wouldn't even blink before slaying their fellow man to get a rare figurine.

In this post-apocalyptic world, three distinguished clans will battle for supremacy in a modern iteration of the Three Kingdoms period, with the winner founding an empire to last for a thousand years.

>>12110880
The Vita game should have an abyss route or at least a map where you and a small band of abyss ships must unite against a greater threat, with you being given temporary control over the abyss ships. That, or Kadokawa implements day 1 DLC abyss ships and gets rich at long last.

>>12110896
Never going to happen.

Come meet me in 5-5 TTKs!

Don't bring subs

>>12110901
I'm sure if they American ships are cute enough, the Japs will accept them.

>>12110901
Nips love enterprise

>>12110901
Why not? And WWI ships too. I want to have intercrural sex with Dreadnought-chan already.

>>12110898
I just want my Woifu.

>>12110898
That picture fits too well.

>>12110902
I have to get Taihou before, sorry.

>>12110908
>>12110904

Correct.

>>12110898
Is the right Im@s character?

>>12110932
Wait, there was ANOTHER nippon online/mobage that features personifications of military equipment as cute girls?

>>12110898
Before, I was in the red faction but then I swore my allegiance to the blue ones.

Murasame just survived 17 sparkle runs without getting hit even once. I started resupplying her to see how far will this go. I think it's finally time to get her Kai art, you rarely find DD this lucky.

>>12110986
Cow Cow will have your head for that, you know.

>>12110990
She was just throwaway DD and not the ship I was sparkling, by the way.
Just in case someone is mentally handicapped.

Ooyodo when?

Well then, back to the hell.

>>12110984
Yes, MC Axis browser game. More like a Japanese version of Travian.

And yes, it's older than Kancolle.

The guy must really hate her hourlies.

>>12111004
No whining is allowed before reaching 50 tries.

New BGM soon.

>>12110990
>Murasame just survived 17 sparkle runs without getting hit even once.
What's her level?

>>12111004
Do you people have 4 docks?

I've gotten my hotel in 10, taihou in 5

>>12111017
Started with 1, ended with 4. She was a throwaway DD with red fatigue all the time.

>>12111018
Get out dev.

>>12111018
Obviously. 48 attempts to get Taihou, 21 so far on hotel. All with 4 docks.

new information from jp wiki

>>12111026
Link to the page.

>>12111026
I also noticed that 2 mains + radar can result in cut-in, without AP ammo.

>>12111026
It says you're an idiot, read the wikia combat page

>>12111014
64 Taihou attempts here, can I whine now?

>>12111028
What? All of my Kongous and Nagatos have that setup and I never see a single cut-in from them

>>12111030
Sure. Now enjoy your mythical 'luck after whining in /jp/'

Haha! Would you look at that, first time I stick my nose into /jp/ for kancole general in three weeks and it'd the top thread on page 1.

Is /jp/ still shitting itself wanting you all to move to /vg/?

>>12111035
Re pls go.

How does one level a hotel to 60?

>>12111043
Pvp.

I have 19 Type 3 Sonars now. Should I stop?
>>12111043
PvP + Flagship + MVP

>>12111050
No, try getting 24.

>>12111035
No, it was just one moron. He got banned.

Kancolle is unquestionably /jp/ property, as much as toku is /m/ property and elf rape threads are /tg/ property. There's no way it's going away.

>>12111026
Yeah there's no point to 15.5's anymore, fuck

>>12111125
for the CLs that can't equip seaplanes of course and for leveling akashi

>>12111125
I forgot about this, but can 15.5 target planes?

>>12111135
Needing an AA gun to target planes is autism spawned on the wikia

Has anyone here cleared 5-3 since the update that gave all of the cruisers double attack? I was wondering if the strategy listed on the wiki for that map was still viable in light of that.

>>12111152
There was a stream of someone clearing it with 2BB 2CA 2DD earlier today, didn't seem too much different.

Or you can just use subs.

>>12111152
I did it, but it was really bucket heavy.

>>12111152
All DDs seem less liable, but I don't see a difference if you go with CA/BB fleet with damecon which is how it's done when the map first came out.

>>12111152
4SS2DD, 0 resource consumption

>>12111156
Trying it with 3 subs now. I don't have I-19 or I-401 though, sadly.

>>12111164
Since I have 3 subs, should I go with 3 subs and 3 DDs?

>>12111152
I can't clearing 5-3 even before the update, so I doubt I could clearing it now.

>>12111164
And what if the DD are damaged, you're going back to HQ right?

>>12111174
Sure, as long as you have 2 DDs remaining before you reach boss it's a free entry.

>>12111176
Use throwaway DDs.

>>12111152
I did it just 2 hours ago.
I used the support fleet for the last kill and a boiler on everyone (except Yuubari).
The rest is the usual double attack setup for CA and cut-in for DD.

>>12111178
Wo please.

>>12111187
Interesting. Did you give Yuubari all ASW gear, or did you give her 2 yellows, a sonar, and a depth charge?

>>12111195
That's Re. Wo is ally of righteousness.

>>12111210
Double attack + sonar + depth charge.
She's the only one that can double attack AND kill the sub in one hit.
Yuubari is the queen on 5-3.

>>12111214
Depth charge is placebo.

>>12111214
Indeed. One more question for you--what formation did you go with on the pre-boss nodes? Echelon?

>>12111187
What about day double attacks?

>>12111225
You just have to believe.
>>12111233
Echelon
>>12111236
They did little damage or just missed. I blame the boilers.
I started the boss fight with everyone in perfect conditions.

>>12110696
I am using the option that is given by KCV, don't know if it runs the command for all cookies at once or does as you say. But I guess that doing the same process on IE should carry on KCV as well.

>>12111281
Or, better yet, you can simply do the same thing in KCV. You can play in IE all you want after that without upgrading cookies manually.

Holy shit my luck with holo plane distribution is just awful. I have something like 13 Reppu but just three 12A and four RK. I just went about month without seeing a single holo and when I finally get some this past week it's Reppu, Shiden-Kai2, normal Ryuusei, hybrid. It's got to be several months now since I last managed to build a 12A or RK.

>>12110902
I'm probably going to wind up attempting 5-5 finally for lack of anything better to do.

>>12110898
>Kantai Collection is landlocked

>>12111286
that's the great chinese lake

So how does Akashi exactly works?

After remodeling her I went to sleep and put her as my flagship + another 5 ships with scratch damage and when I woke up only 4 got healed.

So Akashi without cranes would only heal 1 ship (the one on 2nd position) and each crane is like another repair deck?

>>12111325
Read the fucking wiki.

>>12111326

How embarrassing. Last time I checked that wasn't there.

When doing the quest 'Craft a Ship' does it complete when it's done making the ship or when you start?

>>12111335
Start

>>12111335
When you start.

>>12111286
What recipe are you using? i need more Reppu but in the last few days i got 2 Ruuusei and 2 RK

I don't remember the last time I got Suisei 12A, help.

>>12111370
I've been doing 20/60/10/100 lately, I was doing 20/30/10/40 just for 12A for a while but I had so much surplus bauxite after the event anyway.

Part of the problem is that I spent some time before the event doing 20/30/251/250 for radars, but apparently you can't get bombers from radar recipe regardless of ammo, only fighters and floatplanes. I got two or three Reppu along with five T14 and one T32 radar. But it's still been months before that since I got a 12A or RK, hell, I had three RK back in October, that's just 1 in 6 months since.

>>12111379
I know what you're going through anon, and I know it's a serious problem. Please don't wait anymore and go see a memory specialist.

>>12111413

I got most of my 12A with 20/60/10/100, most of them with Souryuu as my flagship.

Why so lewd

3 hours left to a new week and I've forgotten the standard 5-2 weekly loadout. What was it, 3BBs, 2CVs, 1 CVL?

>>12111471
Yes, 2CV 1CVL.

>>12111477
The rest are BBs right? I just remembered that B node is a sub node.

>>12111479
You can choose whichever you like.

>>12111481
Of course, but there is an optimal loadout.

>>12111481
5CV1CVL is the way to go

>>12111482
at least 1BB, 2BB/CLT/CAV of your choice. It really doesn't matter.

>>12111482
Since you have to S rank it then yes BB is the way to go. But it's resource inefficient.
>>12111484
Wo please go. No more than 2CV 1CVL.

Two married level 120+ Kongous and level 97 Fusou sisters who made it to the end of E-5 and back. What warm people.

1. Let's do our best from now on, too.
2. The blast furnace loved by everyone.
3. [I can't really tell what this one says.]
4. Fusou-class sisters E-5 clear!

>>12110696
Okay I tested being idle for a couple of hours and it works like a charm. Maybe you should update the guide. Also, for KCV doing it on IE is more than enough. What I did was after logging in, entered the 3 cookies one by one on the IE console.

>>12111593
This warms my heart. It must be nice to share a server with such pleasant admirals.

>>12111310
This post got me thinking: Why isn't China a lake? Why is China a country? Who gets to decide whether something becomes a lake, or a country?

In fact, why do countries even exist? Was the concept of a country invented by one person, or was there some sort of cultural convergence all around the world?

>>12111593
No Taihou club?

Do you think they will give carriers kai2?

>>12111660
Fat chance, except maybe class change for Kaga.

>>12111666
What about BBV?

>>12111660
All ships will eventually get Kai2.

>>12111677
That's just wishful thinking.

>>12111679
They have to keep the game alive somehow.

>>12111682
They have a ton of ships to add and there is always the chance to add more foreign ones too, then kai2 can come for some of the new ones as well. They have fuel and fuel to burn, but I don't see a day where all of them have kai2.

>>12111660
I sure fucking hope so, if they want carriers to act like the powerhouses they're actually supposed to be instead of green plane slaves.

>>12111685
They are not going to add all the no-name destroyers one by one, they will probably add them by class.
Also, it's not like they have to get an all new art just for it, just a few changes and some stats upgrades would be enough.

>>12111712
I would rather have less kai2s and them being good like Bob's than having more and the lazy kai zwei shit happening again.

>>12111722
This. Ooi sprite downgrade is outrageous.

>>12111702
Kai Ni is not going to save them unless they suddenly get CA-level naked firepower. The only ways to fix this green planes idiocy are to overhaul the air combat mechanics or nerf all the abyss fighters.

>>12111722
I'm with this guy. I don't mind less kai2, and I don't mind the blueprint cost, but I expect some nice graphic update. Bismark zwei is just pathetic for example. Bob, on the other hand did a great job. I wouldn't mind Tone hourlies though.

>>12111722
Amen to this.

Let's do our best this week as well!

>>12111862
The only quests I've finished all week were the 3 times expedition, 30 times expedition and the equipment construction.
Do you hate me?

5-5 attempts again: 3BB 3SS anon here with 22 tries this month here
#23
first node, ring form, only Mutsu took some scratch damage
second node, ring form, perfect S since support took out 3 ships and torps another one
third node, eRe air strike misses, Mutsu eats the torpedo for 38 damage, Re closing torp hits Mutsu AGAIN and she goes red

from my own experiments, double line is actually useful despite the lower offensive power because it increases shelling hit chance and support expeditions rely on your formation choice for damage and hit.

>>12111958
Line ahead is better. You don't want the closing torp to happen.

>>12111925
There's no excuse for not destroying abyss scum.

>>12111962
I just experienced that. Re hit Yamato for 50 damage in first node. And a gold DD crit Shioi for 16 damage. I didn't even see the purpose of continuing from there so I retreated.

And that concludes todays tries (I don't have time for me with 3SS because I need them for my dailies)

#23: Retreat at eRe
#24: Retreat first node
#25: Retreat first node (Mutsu orange, Hachi orange, Shioi red)

3k fuel, 2k steel, 2,5k ammo and something like 8 buckets

>>12111991
3BB3SS best composition man, no compass trolling!

>>12111994
25 runs with 3SS, 23 retreats, 2 failures to kill the boss
Yeah, 'best' composition indeed.

>>12111413
"Complain on /jp/" magic works yet again; first equipment daily I get a 12A with 20/60/10/90

With a 92% retreat rate, I think I am ready to give up on the 3SS strat. I'm slowly but gradually running lower and lower on res (40k fuel, 25k ammo, 43k steel, 96k bauxite, compared to when I finished the event with 88k fuel, 101k ammo, 77k steel.) so I can't really sustain this. At this rate, I need more than 100 runs to clear it, if that is even enough.

Y'all scrubs don't know how to play, the best composition for 5-5 is clearly 3SS2CV1CVL.

The best of both worlds!

>>12112010
B-but no compass trolling!

>>12111994
Just take advantage of the recon double attack, it's so broken right now.

>>12112009
Why would you use that recipe?

>>12112015
So how exactly does compass trolling matter if I can't get past the pre-boss node? Out of 25 runs, I only made it to the boss twice with 3SS and failed to kill it twice.

>>12112023
Waste 30 ammo and aim for Reppu/12A is my best guess

>>12112017
Leave me, I'm bored.

>>12112025
Like this.

>>12112017
Why AP shell?

>>12112033
We're talking about 3SS=no compass trolling
Please take your trolling elsewhere.

>>12112023
I fucking swear wikiwiki used to have reports of RK with 90 bauxite, but now that I look back at it I only see 100 as minimum while 90 gets normal Ryuusei.

>>12112047
Point is 3SS is shit, man I even bothered to use an exclamation mark and you still don't get my point.

>>12112033
I didn't realize Amatsukaze's dress was transparent until now. What a slut.

>>12112073
I didn't notice it myself, holy shit.

>>12112066
I am too buttblastingly butthurt about getting raped by Re's giant tailcock to understand any sarcasm or implications, anon.

I hope I can get enough res together to clear 5-5 this month

>>12112073
But the law of the world is that purest girls have the lewdest outfits. Just look at Shimakaze, she dresses like a semen demon but is just a slightly dense kid.

Amatsukaze is innocent, don't peg her as a slut.

>>12112080
Just go east route like a man

>>12112088
After getting raped by Re so much I don't think I can still call myself a man.
I'm just Re's personal whore now.

>>12112089
Don't worry, even if you can't be a bride anymore, Re will take you.

>>12112089
Here, have this. my Nagato just one-shotted her at 200HP.

>>12112130
First try without support fleet, 3BB2CV1CVL master race

>>12112115
Re doesn't want me, she just has her way with me and then discards me like trash.
I suppose I'm a Kuso TTK now.

>>12112130
My Bismarck is only 65 so I don't think she's 5-5 able

>>12112137
I am so jealous.

>>12112144
Bismarck is actually a worse choice than Kongous at 5-5 because of much lower AA though. I just like to use her.

>>12112149
But the AA doesn't matter if you have carriers with AA, doesn't it?

>>12112153
They still get to shoot at planes even if they have fighter support.

>>12112153
If you can trade BB's AA for a free plane slot, it does.

>>12112165
What?

>>12112164
>>12112165
Guess that confirms me as a kuso TTK then
I didn't know that ship AA still mattered. So should I go 46 46 Sanshiki recon for air superiority route instead of using AP?

>>12112170
Why AP?

>>12112170
Air superiority and shooting down planes are 2 different things.

>>12112153
Only matters if the ship is targetted by the enemy blue plane. Equipment AA helps the whole fleet though.

>>12112172
I thought that if I had air superiority, having extra AA on non-carriers won't matter so AP ammo was the logical choice for the 1.5x damage cut-in, which almost always hits.

But if sanshiki still matters to shoot down the planes that survive the carrier plane fight phase, I'll use that instead.

>>12112183
Type 14 is better anyway.

Apparently radar boosts scouted attacks' damage.

>>12112205
So, double red + radar + recon on all BBs now? I only have one Type 14 radar and two Type 32 and a few Type 33.

>>12112183
Let me put it this way. You get air supremacy, you kill a certain amount of blue planes, reducing the incoming damage by a certain amount. After that, you shoot down more planes depending on your ship's AA stats and your fleet bonus, further reducing more damage.

>>12112205
Radar only increases day cut-in damage. Radar makes your cut-in deal 1.2x and only works when you have one main and one secondary equipped, while AP ammo makes your cut-in deal 1.5x while letting you equip 2 reds.

>>12112217
Just saying if you need +AA T14 is better than sanshiki. If you don't, I guess the extra ~10% chance of scouted attack from 2 reds + AP is worth it over the extra AA.

>>12112219
Whether you get hurt bad by pre-emptive bombing is pretty much a crapshoot anyway because of the shitty AA mechanics. Either your AA procs or it doesn't. Even if it does, the bulk of the AA is the ship's natural AA plus formation, fleet-wide AA adds a pitiful amount. And it does absolutely nothing for the shelling phase unless you've managed to wipe out all their bombers.

>>12112220
>>12112219
I have 410~ air superiority value on carriers and 110, 110, 114 without sanshikis and radars on my BBs (Naga, Mutsu, Yama)
That's their natural AA + 2x 46cm and a recon.
The actual point values of the radar and sanshiki seems irrelevant. From my 5-2 and 5-4 days I really felt no difference between using a radar or not.

The big question here is, AP or Sanshiki? AP lets me do 1.5x FP cut-ins that almost always hit and Sanshiki will, if recon triggers, always double attack.

They need to fix the AA mechanics for Midway, really.

>>12112239
Sanshiki and T14 are more or less the same. T14 gives up a little effective AA for +5 accuracy and a smidge of LOS, so it's marginally more useful.

Honestly, I think a big problem with the combat in this game is how equipment is handled. It would be better if we just had hardpoint-esque equipment slots rather than 1-4 slots to put whatever franken-loadout is needed.

>>12112239
AP/radar on your slow BBs depending if you want a pure double attack or a cut-in mixed in, radar on Fast BBs.

>>12112248
>It would be better if we just had hardpoint-esque equipment slots rather than 1-4 slots to put whatever franken-loadout is needed.
You want to have even less choice?

>>12112254
No, I'm thinking of more along the lines of 2-8 hardpoints. Perhaps the ASW side of things might get a little bland but it'd make the choice of guns more interesting.

>>12112266
Implement weight limitations too.

A single 46cm turret weighs as much as all the main batteries of a Kongo-class combined, and if you equipped four on them on one, a third of the weight of the ship would be cannons.

When I change one ship in a fleet with Akashi, does the counter reset for all ships?

>>12112374
Not sure if that's the route to take. This game is already very liberal on realism anyway. I was thinking more along the lines of having multiple slots for different equipment. Something like 3 cannon slots, 2 machine gun slots, 1 hangar, 1 radar and one auxiliary equipment for a fast BB. And make machine guns defend against carrier shelling.

>>12112408
It's based on the entire fleet, if you change anything it'll keep resetting.

5th fleet for support expeditions only please

>>12112460
5th fleet period.

Is getting to the boss node on 2-4 really this fucking hard?
I keep getting sent to A-B or A-K and even then I end up on node N or P. I've been trying for 3 days already, this is fucking bullshit.

>>12112502
>3 days
Try complaining again two weeks from now.

>>12112502
That's usual RNG, nothing out of ordinary. Get used to it or stop playing.

>>12112460
2 new fleet slots are opened, and you have to use [document paper] to unlock it. One can be obtained during Midway, but it's also available at cash shop for 10k yen.

What's the best 'fuck you' PvP fleet that still allows your opponent to get good XP if he manages to win?

I've decided on the hotels plus Taihou, Kaga and Zuikaku each loaded with 3 green planes and a red plane. What should the last ship be? I was thinking of Yuubari but subs could get lucky and score a hit on her paper-thin ass.

>>12112579
Akashi as flagship, don't care about the rest. I just want to put her face on enemy's PVP page.

>>12112579
CLT with midget submarine, depth charge, sonar.

You're still a faggot for doing this.

>>12112579
There is basically no "fuck you" fleet, if they put SS in the No1 and No6 slot, your fleet will show up as line abreast, and the 4 remaining BBs can usually raping whatever you have while your ships deal scratch damage to them.

>>12112594
That's true. Perhaps I should replace one of the CVs with a Nagato-class and hope the cut-in punches through their BBs' armor.

>>12112594
But doing that is such a waste of exp, I'd rather eat a lost.

>>12112594
If I put a sub as my flagship, wouldn't my fleet be in echelon?

best setup IMO red red + ap + seaplane, get 1.5 cut-in OR 1.2 double attack, more chances to not do a single hit

>>12112615
Double attack setup has slightly higher expected damage.

>>12112579
Hotel, Sushi, Taihou, Kaga, Shioi, Kitakami Kai 2 with depth charge + sonar + type A

>>12112612
It will. Putting a CLT in a SS fleet as flagship will make it hard to counter because the line ahead CLT and SS fleet have a decent chance to damage their ASW ships. I'm not sure how much that will help though, because my red damaged CL can still crush player's sub.

>>12112619
Yeah, I figured out as much. But if flagship sub overrides their forcing me into line ahead, Shioi as flag would be better to prevent cheesing. Hotels with artillery spotting should be able to damage most targets even with echelon. Also since I'm going echelon, I might as well put my highest-level CL instead of a CLT.

>>12112638
SS PvP fleets are, like you said, easy mode.

>>12112618
yea but that's a 50% chance as opposed to a 30%~ for cut-in + 30%~ for double attack so if cut-in doesn't trigger you still get a chance for double attack

I do 5-4 with this fleet.North Drum route.
I'll keep at it until all of them are 90.

Resource wise, I LSC everytime I get together 5k ammo.

Yay/Nay?

>>12112579
When I put I-401, Yamato, Musashi, Kiso (depth charge, sonar, minisub), Kaga (4x Reppu) and Goya I usually wake up to see a few challengers lose.

is it me or are there alot of errorcats today

You guys are assholes.

Holy fuck, its raining sonars.

Finally got to the 5-5 boss, I get a red T in disguise, everyone misses, cut-ins miss, everyone attacks re for scratch damage and nobody targets the boss at any point whatsoever.

I fucking hate people who don't have to deal with literal bullshit battle RNG

And then I get past Elite Re node with literally everyone in green and eat the dead-end
I swear to god, RNG is just something they give you a range of seeds and some accounts just have non-exception bad ones

And eRe ends another run.
I've never actually seen the double line pre-boss with carrier route, not once in something like 20 runs.

>>12112908

That's precisely the point when I had to abandon clearing it, struggling to pass elite Re without ships in critical doesn't guarantee that the compass would direct you to the boss. Hence 5-5 is a waste of time unless they'd fix this bullshit. Also what's your composition?

Do the nodes affect drops or is rank the only one that does?
For example, does the boss node have a higher chance of dropping a BB compared to the first node?

>>12112932
Nagato, Mutsu, Yamato, Taihou, Kaga, Chitose, 98, 98, 97, 80, 92, 90

BBs are 46cm, 46cm, AP, Recon
Carriers are Reppu 3x, RK, Kaga has a RepKai in her big slot.

Route support is 2 DD 2 BB 2 CV
Boss support is 2 DD 4 CV with half attack planes, half green (reppu/shiden)
Lots of radars on everyone in support (Two T22 on each DD,One T33 on CVs and BBs, the difference is very noticeable, gonna add more radars)

So far, 12 runs, 1 boss visit
Retreat at first node: 1
Retreat at second node: 0
Retreat at Elite Re: 6
(Breakdown of above)
Retreat due to CV in red at elite Re: 5
Retreat at eRe due to eRe bombing, torpedoing the same ship: 2
Retreat at eRe due to eRe shelling the same ship twice / shelling who was torpedo'd: 4

Dead-ends: 5
Boss visit: 1
Boss kill: 0
Boss hit at all: 0

>>12112939
Nodes have different drop pools

>>12112939
Yes, all nodes have a different ship pools, so you couldn't expect to get BB from node that doesn't drop them, even if you score perfect S.

And ranking does affect too, you could get better drops from a better rank (it's also RNG in the end).

>>12112941
Where's your Musashi?

>>12112950
Being held captive by asshole devs that don't add her to LSC.
Not that it would help much considering my CVs get torpedo'd to red or shot to red.

Upcoming drama CD titles:

>>12112993
Keyboard shortcuts, man.

Akatsuki's dream

Are you guys using carriers for PvP, now that day battle recon requires air superiority?

>>12113013
Yeah, it's a good way to level them without wasting bauxite.

>>12112941
>Boss support is 2 DD 4 CV with half attack planes, half green (reppu/shiden)
What the fuck, support fighters are irrelevant for the air superiority.

>>12113067
I saw this in a nip video and it seemed to pretty much kill any attack power and accuracy the Wo in that node have

>>12113072
Shit.

Is that real /jp/?

But no, fuck that, support comes after air battle.

>>12112997
>Akatsuki's dream

Does she awaken from it and find herself to be a monstrous insect?

>>12113077
Air support comes before air battle

How much testing has been done on whether two of the same ship can perform differently? Will a crafted Akagi be the same kind of unnatural crit magnet as the quest one?

>>12113115
I swear, if every ship, had like a randomised luck stat or something similiar to IVs from pokemon. I would be so frustrated, but luckily, it isn't like that.

>>12113127
"Oh yeah got Yamato, finally after sixty attem- Oh fuck this shit, she has zero IVs in attack and defense."

>>12113127
>>12113133
Just imagine if they had shiny kanmusus.

>>12113135
Would those always count as sparkled for expeditions?

>>12113138
Nope, they give a resource gain bonus of 5% each up to a max of 20% in the fleet (they stack).

>>12113138
>>12113139
Or they could be only has different pose or different coloring.

Will you farm for them?

>>12113139
Worst rarity bonus ever. Should at least have a direct combat advantage so the game can become more autism-to-win.

>>12113152
I sure as hell wouldn't, if I got lucky getting one I would keep her though.

>>12113153
Then they would also theoretically evade and hit slightly more often, that way people could still say they are placebo bonuses.

>>12113135
Kanmusu becomes a 'shiny' when you marry them then

>>12113152
Of course I will, waddaya think? My autism will never let me have empty cards in kantaidex.

>>12113167
Even Bismarck zwei?

>>12113173
Poor Bismarck, her second remodel is literally only good for those AA guns.

>>12113176
You can get those from the DD if you really want them.

>>12113179
Yeah, but Bismarck gets her zwei at 50 and they are an extra from Z1's and Z3's. Now if only these guns had any special characteristic or advantage other than a single point of this and that here and there.

>>12113181
I'd rather level 2 DD to 70 than 1 BB to 50 + paying 4 medals

>>12113184
Me too, I'm just saying that's the only remarkable "good" thing about her second remodel.

>>12113181
>>12113184
>>12113186
I'm just going to hold out hope that the devs buff her stats to compete better sometime down the road.

>>12113173
Sure. If every ship got such a wonderful and delicious belly after zwei+blueprint I'd start leveling my ships ASAP.

>>12113187
We hoped that zwei would do exactly that, but instead it made her worse considering the high increase in consumtion.

>>12113189
Well, to look at a glass half full, you're paying the fuel and ammo for Hotel-class HP and Kongou-class speed. If only those mattered more.

>>12113196
But Kai already does that, no need for zwei.

>>12113200
Point taken, but I still do wonder how the devs justify doing things like buffing CA firepower just a few points. How much of a difference did that really make, and how high would be reasonable enough for the Aryan Princess?

>>12113209
Those CA didn't suddenly turn into gluttons.
The next to non existant stat increase is already an insult to the need of a blueprint here. Combined with the consumption, it's just terrible.

>>12113211
She was shit to begin with, at least the zwei is a visual upgrade

>>12113214
That's a pretty expensive belly button.

>>12113211
>The next to non existant stat increase
Must have something to do with the level requirement for her Kai Zwei.
Kongous need level 75, while she only needs level 50.

>>12113215
Poking her belly button feels so good though.

>>12113216
Ise-class at level 10 doesn't get less than the Fusou at level 20.
Maya is still the CA with best AA while having a lower remodel level.
Hibiki has the highest remodel level but isn't the strongest DD.
And Bismarck even needs a blueprint, and you can currently only get 1 in 2 months.

>>12113215
In b4 Haruna belly button blueprint

>>12113223
Maya's edge is really small now, and I personally prefer to use Tone/Chikuma kai2.

>>12113224
Would gladly pay a blueprint to prevent monkey-ear syndrome

>>12113227
Yes, but she's still better off compared to other CA.
Tone-class got buffed with their blueprint-remodels, as you'd expect it from a remodel requiring blueprints.

>>12113231
You seem to be forgetting the massive sprite upgrade

>>12113236
For Tone-class? Has probably more to do with the artist than the blueprint-requirment.
For Bismarck? Well, like I said before, it's a pretty expensive belly button.

You'll probably hate me for this but let's ask nonethelesss.

I'm on 3-2. I want to get 5 specific destroyers for that map: Yuudachi, Yukikaze, Hibiki, Shigure and Shimakaze.

And the only one I'm missing is Shimakaze. I've lost count of how many times I've tried to craft her. I've even got 4 Yukikazes and 3 extra subs in the process. I've also tried to get her as a drop.

All this on the last 3 days.

Is there no other way to get her?

>>12113262
RNG at work. Jut suck it up and use someone else, you're wasting your time.

>>12113262
Try grind at 2-4-A, apparently it drops her, but I can't confirm this.

Also you could substitute Shimakaze for other DD, you know.

>>12113266
2-4-A drops her allright. I got, like, 3 or 4 there while leveling BBs there after being bitch slapped by Flagship Ru repeatedly.

>>12113262
The more you want, the less your chance will be

>>12113262
F node is pure luck. Super DDs will not help you that much. Just use whatever highest level DDs you have and pray for the best.

>>12113262
Go get your shit DD at 2-4-A it's easy

>>12113262
I wanted to do the same thing but I missed Yukikaze. I finally gave up on it and got my beaver at 5-4, it's not worth it to wait.

>>12113284
>>12113266
>>12113264

Call me autist but I want the best destroyers and I refuse to settle for less. The only exception is Sazanami since it was my first ship and I want to give her the love she deserves.

>>12113297
But best destroyers are Mutsukies.

>>12113297
I did 3-2 with Mutsuki-class and Sazanami, it's cheaper way to do it just like 5-3

>>12113297
It's not about autism, Let's say you get Shimakaze right now. What are you going to do, grind the rest of the destroyers to kai ni in 3-2-1? Are you seriously planning to spend a week non-stop on the same map just to clear a map that isn't even worth it in the grand scheme of things?

>>12113297
You know you need to do that map again with 4 Mutsukis as a quest?

Or you can just use throwaway DDs. Take 3 supers and fill the rest with girls whose sacrifice will not affect you. Easiest way to do a lot of maps actually.

>>12113307
>you can just use throwaway DDs

>>12113307
That's just terrible

>>12113309
Yes, Akebono, you was the first throwaway DD I purposefully sank right after I heard your introduction line.

>>12113311
She was right.

>>12113311
You just proved she was right

>>12113301

Welp, I was planning to grind then unti kai at least.

>>12113305
Welp, I've got the queest to assemble then already but I need one more.

>>12113307
You are a cruel admiral, not caring about all your ship daughters.

>>12113309

talking about Akebono. I've got this bug since some weeks in which her sprite never loads. Cleared my cache and all that stuff.

>>12113319
Renew API and clear it again.

>>12113319
Cache her sprite, stop deleting it.

>>12113317
I'm not cruel. I just use efficient methods. You can quickly amass huge amount of common DDs via 1-1 Chito/Chiyo A slaughter practically for free. Using them as modernization fodder is not as efficient as using them for sacrificial throwaways for things that actually matter, that's all.

>>12113322
Please tell me more about how to use then as sacrifices.

Guys, which node in world 2 drop Kaga? Playing for 2 weeks and craft doesn't work for me. Want her so bad

>>12113522
All boss nodes.

>>12113522
wiki

>>12113526
>>12113528
I see, thanks. Didn't know that wiki have drop list.

>>12113541
Don't underestimate the wiki.

>>12113541
The wiki knows it all. It had day battle double attack mechanics a day after they were implemented, it pushed the Iona recipes long before they were popular, it lists the exact length and thickness of Goya's penis.

Did they change something within the game recently? This week's reset, I keep getting errorcat whenever I try to play without VPN.
Using the VPN to login and load the game is fine but whenever I turn it off and move a few screens in the game, errorcat shows up.

I tried playing with API only and the same thing happens.

Using normal browser + VPN to play, usually I would turn off VPN when the game loads and everything would still play fine, but after this week's reset, I get this problem, any ideas?

>>12113541
The drop list and the stat comparisons are about all the english wiki is good for. But you can't trust it during events.

>>12113723
Just keep away from the comments and take all the guides-like information as personal opinions from some contributor instead of facts and you should be fine.

>>12113723
>drop list
No. just checking wikiwiki's list is the best choice.

>>12113541
>>12113723
Drop list may contain troll entries, though. According to English wiki, Hachi dropped on E-4-A, while wikiwiki clearly stated: boss node only. I recommend wikiwiki.

Is there a new chart for LSC? the chart from wiki is so outdated now.

>>12113759

>>12113716
no one else having this problem? I tried clearing cache and using different browsers, all the same thing. Game was working fine before this week's reset.

>>12113764

No idea. Try the cookie method

God damn, the longer I have Sakawa, the more she grows on me. I just can't get bored of her lines. She's just way too cute.

And to think there are people who could have gotten her, but didn't because "not worth it for shitty CL".

>>12114075
What equipment does she give on remodel again?

>>12114079
Who needs equipment when you have Sakawa? I can craft my things myself, I don't need to farm ship girls for them.

>>12114079
Your point is? Do you scrap all ships after you get their remodel equipment?

>>12114148
It just means that she is a shitty CL who was not worth the trouble of doing E-5 for.
Look at Amatsukaze and Akashi, that's what I call useful.

>>12114168
No, it means your priorities are fucked. I don't give a fuck about remodel equipment when I can have such amount of cuteness that is second only to Taihou.

>>12114180
>such amount of cuteness that is second only to Taihou.
Sorry, I forgot some people loved flat things.

>>12114168
>Amatsukaze
She has barely better stats than Kagerou class. She is nowhere close to the level of the 5 special DD.
The saving grace is the sonar 3, and even so you should already have plenty of them.

>Akashi
Are you THAT jew with buckets or something? Unless she can repair midsortie, she doesn't give any major usefulness in there.

I like both of them as well, but don't start claiming they are "more useful" than Sakawa. They arguably aren't.

>>12114186
>The saving grace is the sonar 3
Are you forgetting her special boiler on purpose?
>Are you THAT jew with buckets or something?
Yes I am that jew with buckets.

>>12114190
>boiler
Right, giving barely 3 more than a normal boiler, which is at best 1.5 evasion.
To begin with: do you really use boiler?

>>12114186
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Akashi is useful if you know how to use her properly.

>>12114197
Yes I do. I'm not 100% sure they are useful but I still do.

>>12114186
Amatsukaze has outstanding armor and decent overall stats and Akashi is the only of her class while Sakawa is just another Agano-class.
Sorry, but Sakawa is less useful simply because she can be replaced by Yahagi, who has slightly better stats.

If you're going for cuteness, usefulness doesn't matter anyway.

Though you're right that the other Anon judging ships by remodel-equipment is retarded.

>>12114200
You mean the one that actually uses more resources to repair when compared to using docks?

>>12114206
She doesn't use more resources unless you interrupt the repair.

>>12114205
>judging ships by remodel-equipment is retarded.
How so? If you had to choose between levelling to remodel level a Hiei or a Kirishima which one would you choose?

>>12114214
Hiei because I don't like miccheck's kai2 art.

>>12114214
Kirishima, much sexier.

>>12114218
Right, enjoy getting raped in night battle then.

>>12114221
Enjoy leveling ships you don't really like just for stats and gear.
And I already have searchlight

>>12114221
I have two searchlights and never used one. I also beat E5 in the past event first days.

>>12114221
Searchlights don't do much anyway. Besides, you don't have to choose which ship to remodel.

Equipment just matters if you want to farm ships for that equipment, otherwise it's a nice bonus at best.

>>12114223
I should have just said: If you had to choose between levelling an ugly ship which gives sanshiki when remodelling and an ugly ship which gives searchlight granted that you don't have these two.

>>12114231
Handsome is not ugly. Konishi seriously ruined Kirishima's kai2 though.

>>12114234
>Handsome is not ugly.
I never said she was ugly I just wanted to give an example.

>>12114231
If you just want a searchlight, you go for Jintsuu.
If you just want a Sanshiki, you craft one.

It's funny that you ignore the stat-difference between those 2 and just go for the equipment.

By that stupid logic, I shouldn't even bother grinding and remodeling Mu-chan and Nagamon because they only provide 41cm, no shell or gimmicky equipement.

Retardation much?

Dear god, people can also grind ships for their stats, or for their voices/arts. If equipment was everything, we wouldn't even bother with CA and CL to begin with.

>>12114239
That's because the whole point of this discussion was to prove that Sakawa was not a ship worth the effort of doing E-5 except of course if you've nearly finished the game and have nothing to spend your resources on.
She is good for nothing, not even giving good equipment.

>>12114234
Konishi seriously ruined Hiei's feathered hair.

>>12114246
You are using the logic in a completely different situation.

Is 2-2 and the expeditions the only way to got bauxite? I keep running out.
Expedition is to slow and I have to keep repairing my subs when farming 2-2.

>>12114251
Deal with it.
