what's a kantai colletion

>>12140527
One of those Korean grind games,

Anyone else is still hunting for Urakaze? She's pretty elusive and a bit harder than Hamakaze.

>>12140602
I do, does the boss count for daily boss quest?

>>12140605
Yes it does.

>>12140605

Yup, I still work on 2-3 sub runs anyway.

>>12140606 >>12140606
I'll just do daily 5 times run then. I'm that guy with 48hrs non stop hamakaze search last time.
I got awfully sick after that.

>>12140602
I am, but not now.. I'll take my time cuz i dont really like her anyways

which route you guys prefer on 2-5?
the bring 2DD route or without DDs?

>>12140625
;_;

>>12140621
Without DDs. With DDs you can still get sent to the Wo Kai node, so you still have to bring fighters for it, so might as well bring a BB and two CLTs and get major preemptive damage.

>>12140647
what do you equip on CLTs?

>>12140660
love

>>12140645
Wow, I hope an update doesn't break KCV anytime soon, because I really depend on it.

>>12140745
The japanese version is fine too I suppose, but I'll miss the convenience of the english client

Does anyone know the legit reason why Zharay is gone?

Is it because of University commitments?

I'm a lil more worried bout touhou myself

There was this huge thread on how touhou is declining on 2chan

>>12140765
So does anyone know the real reason?

>>12140778
Not surprised.
I didnt even download any doujin games or music from R11. Mobile waifu game is slowly taking over.

>>12140782
Maybe the recent event was too much for him and he scrapped all his shipgirls.

>>12140786
Last post
>Time to finish E3 and challenge E4
RIP.

>>12140785
Touhou music >>>>>> Kancolle music. Even from the same circle - IRON ATTACK's done much better than Sail Up, Yuuhei Satellite's done much better than Kiss of the Goddess, etc, etc.

They're not bad CDs by any means but they're sure not great.

>>12140793
I'm happy to donate to Zharay for his work.

>>12140782
He was too busy updating the viewer during the last event that he didn't have enough time to take it easy. So he rushed through the event without sleeping, sunk 2 of his ships because he was only half-awake while playing, then sadly quit afterwards.

Give the guy a break, his Kitakami is gone now, along with that other ship he didn't mention. Maybe he'll be back someday after he mentally recovers.

>>12140800
Is this for real? How do you even know this?

>>12140804
Zharay is my roomate.

>>12140800
Did he really? I feel sorry for him..

>>12140805
If you're being serious, let him know a bunch of us appreciate the work he's done on KCV and feel for him and the shit he went through in the last event.

>>12140809
Heh.

Oh yes. I'll need two dicks for this one.

Meh .... I noticed this week, after months of playing, that this game has grown out of me.

Can't only do pvp or I'll miss good modernization materials dropping from PvE.
Extra operations just lure you with level scaling, then force you to battle event like RNG for the sake of 1 medal.

Ryuujou lvl 75 kai ni ? Farming crap requirement too high.

Art is what I love of this game. But I can't stand farming or being lured by false "new" content, that just hides more farming and copy past faces.

Not goin' to sell my account tho.

>Extra operations just lure you with level scaling, then force you to battle event like RNG for the sake of 1 medal.
Extra Operations have the EASIEST map route requirements. Please do your research and figure them out. As for the rewards, this is a trend that Kadokawa is most likely going to keep, making the more exclusive upgrades into good resource sinks. Also, rare drops, ranking points if you are a badass bot[/spoiler= teitoku, and hey, it's almost a new month, so that one new medal your getting will also be joined by three more medals in a week. That's enough for another blueprint.

>Ryuujou lvl 75 kai ni ? Farming crap requirement too high.
Lazy. She is adorable and you must do it.

>Art is what I love of this game. But I can't stand farming or being lured by false "new" content, that just hides more farming and copy past faces.
I guess looking elsewhere for good art will do you some good, the quality of art in this game stems from the fact that Pixiv freelancers were hired for it. Definitely not consistently professional all-around.

But yeah, nice blog, liked and upvoted.

Not that guy, but my issue is: I can't spend blueprints on anything.

I don't know how to feel about holo 15.2 guns. They have less power than 20.3 but somehow they feel better on CLs. Did wikiwiki on someone do an extensive testing on "hidden stats"?

I really miss the constant talking from arpeggio event's carnival dayo node.

holy fucking shit what's with this shitty new fucking map that won't send me to the bossnode

>>12141056
Has it ever occurred to you that you might be the one that's shitty

>>12141058
No, because I'm perfect.

>>12141058
I do the same shit the other people did in the other thread and the same shit always happens

>>12141061
You probably do something wrong.
Tried north-pass yet?

>>12141063
I tried that twice with 4 CAV 2CLT, got send bottom to F once and to E the second time, where I got 2 ships shot to red.
The other 7 times were 2CAV 2Kongous and 2CV and I always get sent to F.
Floatplanes and Saiun are always there, all ships are 65+ upwards.

>>12141065
What's your total LoS?

>>12141065
People on the wiki are clearing it with 4BB 2CV so I have no idea how the branching at B works.

But 2CAV CA BB 2CV worked for the 5 runs I did.

>>12141070
Displayed 464.

>>12141074
Guess I'll try that next.

The main rules, according to wikiwiki

At least 1 carrier of any type will take you to B.
3 or more carrier (not light) and you get F
BB(V), CV, CVB will take you to I (aka wo-chan node)
Apparently 390+ will take you to boss
From H, 360+ will take you to the boss

>>12141065
>>12141078
4BB/2CV with LoS of 360+ are pretty much guaranteed to reach the boss.

Kongou/Hiei/Kirishima/Haruna
- 46cm, 46cm, 21 Radar, Recon

Akagi
- Suisei 12A, Reppu, Reppu, Suisei

Kaga
- Suisei, Sueisei, Reppu Kai, Saiun

>>12141082
>Apparently 390+ will take you to boss
>From H, 360+ will take you to the boss

My setup is >>12141084 and my route is always B-E-I-L with just 368 LoS, so that 390+ LoS requirement is bullshit since H and I are the only pre-boss node.

>>12141078
That LOS is way overkill

>>12141089
what did you bring? my LOS is 440 and keep getting the stupid F node. HQ 103

>>12141089
How much does a run cost you though? I have been farming the boss with this setup, and it's dirt cheap
>>12140168

>>12141094
my bad

>>12141074
Finally got to the boss, altough I got to meet Wo-kai too.

What the fuck?
Do I really need more than 1BB to avoid fucking F?
1BB 2CAV 1Tone 2CV have been sending me to F.
When I replace the 2CV with 2CLT I also got F.
Try 4BB 2CV boss......

>>12141095
Are you seriously calling 4BB2CV cheap? Do you have 20 million res or something?

>>12141104
Check the other link, mang

>>12141103
No you don't, I went to the boss with a single BB

>>12141103
So far, I only reached the boss with 0 BB. All tries with 2 BB went to F.

>>12141110
I got to boss 4 out of 6 tries with 4BB 2CV

>>12141095
I did 10 runs and I lost about 5,000 ammo and fuel, so it's not cheap at all.

>>12141103
>>12141110
Having a BB on your fleet will give you a 5% chance to get to F.
You probably did something to the RNG gods to receive such luck.

Fuck, after getting 4 green T's and getting critted to red by gold Ru in row I'm seriously considering no carrier route with night battle fuckery.

>>12141121
Where did you get that 5% from?

>>12141124
Even if you take no carrier it still has a chance to take you to B

>>12141065
Disproved. Looks like base LOS will receive the square root treatment, again.

>>12141129
F5 formation will save me.

>>12141126
Oops! Sorry, it seems I remembered wrong.

http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/World_2:_南西諸島海域
>Having 2 BB in the fleet has a 5% chance of heading to the Node F

I finished the map 10 times with 4BB/2CV and I only got sent to node F once.

>>12141140
I've use the 2BB 2CLT set, 99% F node.

>>12141145
Is it a slow BB?

>>12141148
Not him, I used 2 Fast BB, 1CLT 1 CAV 2CV, 100% F node from 1 try

>>12141148
I tried all possible formation with hiei, mutsu, yamato, kirishima.

Fast Fast
Fast Slow
Slow Fast
Slow Slow

10 tries, 10 F node.

>>12141145
>>12141150
Try 4.
USing 4BB, have been avoiding F node compare to when I was using a single BB.

Please show up soon.
My poor resources

>>12141158
I am using all 4 kongous right now, but its expensive for farming.

>>12141161
I'm below 10k now from 30.

>>12141158
Why should I? Not resource friendly at all. I've been using 1FastBB 2CAV 1CLT 2CV instead, reached and killed 2 bosses from 2 tries.

>>12141140
Whoever added that to the wiki just pulled that number out of his ass. Or do you really think people have run already over 1000 sorties on that map and reported their compass results?

>>12140886
Yeah, one for the hime too

4CA/CAV + 2 CLT, F5 if B node, 50-50 to reach boss node

>>12141158

2-5 is a real piece of shit map

>>12141177
And your a real kuso of a teitoku

>>12141176
That node is random, I bet any formation had a slight chance to go there.

>not using BB BBV 2CAV 2CV.

>>12141177
Why? I like 2-5. It's just right amount of tough.

>>12141177
No, anon, you are the shit.

>>12141176
I got a feeling it has something to do with # of recon planes.
When I used 4BB I used 4recon planes compare to when I was using just 1.

>>12141183
It's hard enough to be a pain in the ass while being expensive and not worth comming back to, unless it's next month. The compass is a piece of shit too because it doesn't matter what you do, if you have bad luck you don't get shit

>>12141172
>F5 if B node
No

>>12141198
You can always retreat after clearing B if you're paranoid as fuck

>>12141194
It's not hard, and not even that expensive. Ru trolling is the only annoying thing.

>>12141202
The Ru is nothing, nodes are easy to fight but compass is giving me a big fuck you by going to dead F node every fucking time.

Was Wo ever wrong?

>>12141220
No she is something. Something very annoying, like subs in line ahead.

>>12141224
Yes. Higher level = higher LOS, and 50k is the amount of resources you needed to clear E5 alone.

>>12141226
what's your T-level?

>>12141224
>midway is month away
correct.

>50k resources is enough

Nopw

>>12141229
106.

>>12141229
100

>>12141231
Yes. Even if you wielded both Yamatos and killed the boss every time, that's approximately the amount you'd spend.

>>12141235
E5 cost for me was ~23. Stop spreading lies.

>>12141227
LOS doesn't really matter if the equipments LOS really is more important anyway.

>>12141235
I spent 30k without the hotels

>>12141230
>50k resources is enough
Right

>levels don't matter
Noob get babby mode map without super hime BB

>>12141242
>>12141241
>what are outliers
I never had to retreat in E2. Does that mean it was easy?

>>12141241
And I spent 75k so there's that.

>>12141243
Equipment can't give you 50+ LOS.

>>12141249
The outliers are the ones who spent 60-70k on E5 alone.

FUCK THIS SHITTY FUCKING MAP FUCK FUCK UGH

>>12141249
E2 was super easy.

>>12141252
Look up the definition of "outlier".
>>12141254
Enemy-wise, it was, but there was little you could do about the preboss.

>>12141251
What? It can. And way more reliable than only the rare stats of ships could do it.

>>12141256
I'm an actuary, son, I don't think I have to look it up. The majority of people here and on futaba cleared it with less than 50k

>>12141257
Don't forget that you needed 250 more for E3.

>>12141258
Says who?

>>12141259
Ship-LOS gets the square-root treatment.

>>12141224
No.

By "50k resources is enough", Wo meant you only need to stockpile 50k resources for it. You can always get more resources during the event itself. And even not taking that into account, see >>12141258.

As for levels not mattering, I'm inclined to agree with >>12141245.

What fleet goes the nord way on 2-5?

>>12141274
No carriers.

>>12141274
Bismark, Tirpitz, Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Graf Zeppelin, Peter Strasser.

>>12141276
and it's the same fucking bullshit of instantly hitting someone red or getting deviated like on the other side, for fucks sake

>>12141280
Wow! Where do you get such rare ships?

>>12141288
By going Nord way.

The first ranker of Truk just passed 8000 points. Why so fucking hardcore ?

>>12141298
Obviously they want to go over 9000. Or 8000 if they're Japanese.

>>12141298
Oh damn, and the second one only has half of the first.
And here I am stuck at 17000th

Whoa, what's up with all this 2-5 complaining? It's babby tier, all you need are 2 carriers + 4bb / 1bb + cav/clt mix and at least mediocre equipment for LOS boost. I understand that farming for rare ships might be annoying, but finishing it just for medal is only slightly harder than 1-5.

>>12141346
Some people are constantly going to dead end node F despite using the recommended fleet comps.

A couple of my RL TTK friends seem to have that issue as well.

>>12141346
I enjoy getting wrecked by wo-chan even with air sup and diamond. Or going right to node F.

>>12141346
It took me 44 sorties to get to the boss 4 times.

>>12141352
Don't sortie battleships. This fixed F node for me.

>>12141353
Or when this happens because every fucker focuses one ship.

>>12141355
Really? It's just that you are a bad TTK then.

>>12141366
>Hotel

>>12141367
fuck off

This is annoying, getting all the green T in sideway node.

>>12141358
I suppose that is the obvious solution. But given the rest of the successes, i guess that's what people are raging about

Interestingly enough, in my testing 4CA 2CV still went to F once.

>>12141370
Come on, you're certainly doing something wrong for this to happen.

>>12141376
Not that guy, but my last 6 runs:
1 F node
3 wo kai crit to red (air superiority + ring)
1 trash node BB crits someone to red in green T

>>12141380
>2 F-nodes

>>12141380
That's still not 44.

>>12141376
I did the same fleet composition someone else had success with 4 times in a row (2CAV2BB2CV) and got send to F 12 times in a row. Perfect node before that and always F. Then I switched out one ship for a different class(BB->CA) and got to E but got oneshot. Then I switched back and went to F again. Then I tried something completely different (1CA 2CAV 2DD 1CVL) and got one shot to red on E twice, got to the bossnode and killed him and got hit to red 10 times again.

>>12141346
Not everyone is as lucky.

I went 6 CA/CAV and it worked out pretty well. The yasen node is fun.

>>12141387
>Perfect node before that and always F.
...Maybe this is it? Maybe devs added back that fall mechanic?

>>12141387
>I did the same fleet composition someone else had success with 4 times in a row (2CAV2BB2CV) and got send to F 12 times in a row.
Don't trust everything people say. Should have changed after 6 times.
Well can't blame getting oneshot to E because that is pure RNG.

>>12141385
Are you really that retarded?

>>12141346
Fuck you! try saying that when you keep getting to to the F fucking node!

oh btw I have already cleared the map yesterday it was piss easy beating all the shit completely of all enemy nodes at day battle. the only shitty part is getting to the boss node when the compass freaking fuck going to F fucking node all the time.

yes I am mad.

>>12141394
Please don't remind me of fall, I had the same shit in E-4 with the prebossnode, consistently acing it and always getting send to the side instead of the bossnode.

>>12141398
I copied his setup because there was a screenshot accompanying it in the bossbattle, that was enough proof to convince me.

>>12141399
What? I meant that even with such bad luck you wouldn't normally reach that number.

30 boss fights, where's my Urakaze

>>12141405
I cleared the map already and now farming for titstroyer 2.
But if I take that success rate as a basis (6 runs 0 kill) then it's pretty easy to get fucked on the map and idiots like this
>>12141346
are either low level enough to not get wo kai or are baiting for mad.

>>12141411
In some other Anon's fleet.

>>12141411
6/6 of my fucking pvp list has urakaze..
my res was down raped from 30k to less than 10, no urakaze, freaking F fucking node all the time.

Don't get desperate because of F and keep sorting. North route's night battle node is hell incarnate. I had my Moosashi instagibbed to 1 HP by BRS, at least Wo/Ru can't do the same.

>>12141412
>are either low level enough to not get wo kai or are baiting for mad.
But wo kai is much weaker than Ru flag. The real question is do they get Ru flag?

>>12141421
I get turned back by wo more often than by flag ru. It usually happens when she hits the same target twice, or crits someone in green T.

>>12141421
http://wikiwiki.jp/kancolle/?%C6%EE%C0%BE%BD%F4%C5%E7%B3%A4%B0%E8#area5
They have.

What I'd really like to know is how are people NOT arriving at the boss node? This what my map looks like after 2 days of farming, and I've sortied with all sort of composition to see which one is most resource friendly.
In the picture I'm only heading north for the first time because my fleet only consist of one character.

>>12141421
Wo-kai isn't much of a problem, more so if you manage to shoot down all of her planes. Flag-ru is easy too, if she decides to target your fast BB if you have one which would likely miss or hit for scratch or a low double digit damage. The only problem I got was when Ru critted one of my CVs to orange but I proceeded anyway and the Wo-kai on the next node didn't present much of problem.

>>12141431
Ru in green T can crit everyone but hotels to red.

>>12141430
Your F node is red and that's what most people are complaining about

>>12141430
>most resource friendly.
And your result is?

Come over to the north side, night battle is fun.

>>12141431
Even my BB gets critted to red by her. All I can hope for is that she misses.

Try 2CA 1CAV 1CVL 2DD, BEHL fixed (to avoid F node).

>>12141440
>night battles
I'm not a M.

>>12141443
How does that combination survive into night battle on boss though?

>>12141440
What is the composition?
I tried using 4ca/v 2clt and got fucking sent south
I decided to go with 4bb 2cv and cleared it in 4tries there after.

>>12141438
If you're not worried about ammo, 4 fast BB + 2CV. 450ish oil/ammo, but relatively light repair costs.

It seems like the more I swap BB/CV for lighter characters like CA/CAV/CVLs, the more ammo I save, but the more oil/steel I spend afterwards on repairs.

>>12140850
I much prefer this version of her:
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=43586587

6th time in row this comp goes to F.

>>12141449
I did 20 run for this, only 6 goes to boss node the rest is Fuck node.
if I didn't reach the stupid F node everything is a smooth sail.

what did I do wrong or that only works when T-lvl is below 100?

>>12141448
I'm using now 5ca/v 1clt
First node is random but it sends me more north than south.

>>12141452
And the last 3 times it was perfect S on the prior node. I can't recall the first 3 but I think those are perf S as well

>>12141447
All but CVL are good at night, and this setup wont run into F node (only 2 battle before boss)

>>12141458
But on the boss node, you will be facing 1FS BB and 2 elite BB on top of the rest. How do they not get butchered?

>>12141443
what does cvl and DD equips?

>>12141452
Well, 2CAV 1BB 1CLT 2CV always sends me to boss if not for Ru.
I could blame low level flagship, Taihou or LoS for your results but that probably isn't it.
Try switching CA/CAV for CLT.
>>12141456
Perfect S probably has no relation because I go to E even with it.

What's the best and fastest way to get furniture coins? I want to buy the whole classroom set but I only have 45k worth of coins so I'm gonna need another 75k before the next maintenance to get them all.

>>12141464
Do the weekly world 3 boss quest

>>12141454
I honestly don't know. I've only ever been sent to F once, and that was because I ran with 2 BBs. Other than that I always hit the boss node unless the flag Ru sent me home early.

Though someone with similar issues last thread mentioned they stopped getting sent to F when they put Seiran on their CV, perhaps that's why?

>>12141464
3-3

>>12141464
Farm 3-3 I guess. I used to do that place to farm for Nagato, but I almost always end up going home with a red box instead of reaching the boss.

>>12141467
*Saiyun, not Seiran.

>>12141467
>put Seiran on their CV,
You meant Saiun right?

Remember when devs said the map centers on small and medium sized ships?

>>12141464
Spam furniture expedition. I do 35 37 38

>>12141464
>best
Ex6/21/37/38 non-stop.
>fastest
Depends on how much resources you can spend.
>>12141467
>Seiran
Saiun. Doesn't matter, I've been sent to F with it a lot of times.

>>12141470
>>12141469
>>12141466
I guess I have to unlock 3-3. I hope my Mutsukis are ready.

>>12141473
I did bring saiun and only 1 of 5 run gets me away from F node.
compo fleet of 4kongou taihou kaga all 90+

kongous:
46cm x 2, 32 radar, recon plane.

Taihou:
12A, ryusei, reppu, saiun

Kaga:
12A, reppu, reppu kai, ryusei

>>12141483
by 1 of 5, I mean some times... most times its 5 of 5 F node
I ran 5 times, ran out of the house screaming and do another 5 later.

To Saiun or not to saiun. That's the question. I think green T can be more of a curse than a blessing on this map

Fuck you too, ru

>>12141488
It's not like it like it raises the chance of green T.

I wish I didn't spend those 50k coins on that shitty dragon wallpaper. I bought it just because it was there and now I'm short almost exactly 50k short for the blackboard to complete to the classroom set.

>>12141488
I went no Saiun. Got red T at the Ru node a couple of nice. It was quite nice.

>>12141300
>>12141298
Man, we're taking it really easy on Brunei
865 for top 500
Top ranker has 2998
I'm just idling at 300 something and gonna drop 100 ranks once more people clear 2-5

>>12141298
nanaya92 blown the fuck out.

>>12141496
Yeah, the dragon is a bit heavy. Hijiri seems to be quite fond of it though.

Yeah, easy as fuck...

>>12141462
In my experience, low level flagships have terrible impact on LOS checks. So that is the first thing I would change if I had troubles.

Who farming with no luck here?

>>12141626
Got a pyon but still no titkaze #2.

>>12141626
Everyone.

>>12141629
Got two pyons but still no titkaze #2.

>>12141629
>>12141632
She is not a titskaze.

>>12141635
Takaokaze

>>12141626
17th F node in row. No battleships, only 1 carrier(Chitose). Equipment LoS is 53. Maybe I should give up already?

>>12141632
Thanks for the help guys!
Took almost 40 runs.

I wonder if I should farm Urakaze for her kai gun.

>>12141626
Here. Did around 30 runs, out of fuel now.

Will Bismarck get a good next Kai?

>>12141766
How is the route? No F-node esque fuckery? And night battle with flagship kai Ri?

>>12141773
if you go NE for first node it's 100% to boss if you manage to get past nayt batol, I'd say 50-50

>>12141779
Enemy CAs and DDs have cut-in setups, right?

>>12141782
FCA Kai and DDs have cut-in, CAs have double attack.

>>12141788
Maybe I should try no carrier route after all.

>>12141770
Sure, Bismarck Kai 2.5.
Requires another set of blueprints, gives +1 FP, +1 AA and +1 armor. Her damaged sprite has now visible underboob.

>>12141807
>visible underboob.
I'll never regret spending 2 blueprints for it.

>>12141807
How many blueprints will it take to get her naked?

>>12141816
10.

>>12141816
3 blueprints and ring.

>>12141807
hey, that's actually not a bad Idea now that I think of it.
You can remodel any ship X times into a kai.X or Kai ni.X with a blueprint for each remodel. Their basic stats will get +1~+3 cap stat depending on the class, up to a limit of X=10.

I sure would like that.

>>12141836
If they also lose more piece of clothing on their damaged sprite, I'm on.

>>12141836
They already cover that with modernizations.
Remodels really should be limited.

>>12141836
I want to be able to cap anything at 99 with any ship class, given I can waste enough blueprints and rings.

>>12141875
But that would make ship classification useless.

>>12141879
It's already useless. Just look at 2-5. Still the same 4BB2CV.

>>12141881
I can clear it with no BB just fine.

>>12141881
Err, no.

>>12141875
>Submarine
>Max 99 all stats
Why use any other ship if you could use cheap subs with the power of battleships?

>>12141888
subs already get trolled by all new maps' compass rules.

>>12141885
And I B-ranked 2-4 boss with Mutskies without damecons. I want to sortie with a fleet of my heart(DDs are the cutest girls in the game) outside selected few maps.

>>12141891
But if you're able to sub-cheese it, the new map won't have any difficulty. Also, seeing it's really easy to farm subs now, I think it's a given that sub got some kind of restriction

>>12141900
We're already able to sub cheese almost any map that doesn't forbid them boss nodes by compass rules anyway.

>>12141807
BB Tirpitz torpedoes fucking when

>>12141932
After Ise and Hyuuga Kai Ni.

13 hours left on my Expedition 30, then one more to go.

Missing a third expedition fleet is suffering.

>>12141938
I really hope they can launch dive bombers soon.

>>12141941
The game won't allow suicide planes

>>12141941
They loose all their planes after sortie ends since planes can't land. Disasterous bauxite costs to resupply, huge fatigue regen penalty as well.

Fusou&Yamashiro K2 when?

>>12141947
Perhaps maybe they could do it if you also fielded a CV?

>>12141954
And leave a slot open on the CV which will after the first battle be filled with the planes from the BBV?

>>12141958
Or at least replenish the divers that were shot down from the CV, yeah.

>>12141960
That should be Shinano's gimmick. Gets an average CV-level plane slots, but has extra plane capacity that replenishes other carriers' planes as they are shot down.

>>12141986
I wonder if she will give 2nd shelling phase like battleships in carrier form.

>>12141893
My sister tried 2-5 three times. One time with 4 CAs 2 CAVs, once with 2 CAs 2 CAVs 2 CLTs and once with 4 BBs 2 CVs. The first 2 got her to the boss node. The 3rd one got her to node J. Both times she reached the boss node she S ranked it.

She then recommended it to my friend who tried it and got at least 3 boss nodes, sinking the enemy flagship twice (not sure about the number of tries though).

I haven't actually tried it myself, though.

>>12142027
is your sister hot?

>>12142051
Are you hot?

Any way to avoid FS RU fuckery? She's shitting on any ship sshe manages to hit.

>>12142058
Tell your ships to git gud.
You can also make an offering to RNG god.

>>12142056
I'd like to think I am.

>>12142074
Post a pic or you a liar

>>12142058
Aboob, Double line, boilers, buldges, engaging only on even minutes, whatever placebo you believe in.
You can also try north route.

>>12142078
Your sister first.

I couldn't find any videos of people clearing E4 Spring event with no buckets (like I did). I'd have a video up but the software I used (CamStudio) screwed up the recording.

Has anyone come across a no bucket E4 run on nicovideo or something? (And is there a better software to use to prevent recording screwups next time?)

>>12142091
>>>/fuckingSoc/

>>12142119
Err, did you film the waiting time too ? Because if that's what you have in mind I can imagine why nobody uploaded such video.

Slowpoke here, is there any upload of the furniture screen BGM yet?

>>12142137
Just open the cache of whatever you're using to play kancolle, it's inside InteriorMain.swf?version=2.0

>>12142151
Or wait, it's actually in sound_bgm, BGM_54 is the one you need.

>>12142225
That's really some nice BGM. Hearing it in the morning as I wakeup makes me feel like a good TTK.

>>12142125
It took me 90+ minutes to complete E4. Don't remember any waiting time.

What's the formation for 2-5?

>>12142438
4BB 2CV works for me

>>12142473
5/5 F node with this, LOS is 415. What am I doing wrong? Tried to replace Nagato with Ooi because I assumed slow fleet = F, but the result is also same.

>>12142488
no CAVs

>>12142488
Twitter says 2-5 is for medium or small size ships. And the few guys I know who did 2-5 with BB/CV are all under HQ lv100, everyone above lv100 use CA/CAV/CVL fleet.

>>12142505
No Taihou?
>>12142508
North yasen route?

>>12142511
You should use CAVs

>>12142508
I used 4BB 2CV and cleared the boss bar in 5 runs, got sent to F once and that was it.

>>12142513
Welp, alright. I was brainfarted, thinking CAV = Taihou. Gonna try that after the fatigue cools down.

>>12142511
The same route as yours but barely get sent to F node.

>>12142488

I used 3 CAV (Tone Kai Ni, Kumano, Suzuya), 1 BB (Mutsu), 2 CV (Taihou, Akagi, switched to Zuikaku Shoukaku), I reached the boss everytime on my clearing runs.

After that (on Urakaze farming) it would rarely send me a dead end, then I tried switching Suzuya for another (fast) BB and it would send me to a dead end 3 out of 5 runs.

Never tried the north route.

>>12141779
Actually I tested a team of 3 CAV, 1 CA, 2 DD, and ended up north past night battle and dead end.

Might have had too few planes simply. I added more and replaced DD with CLT and got south route but after node 2 I was sent up north again and to boss.

>>12142508
Not true, I'm >>12142027 and my sister's only level 98. And my friend's level I'm not sure but it's even lower.

>>12142528
>>12142513
Thanks, tried to put 2 CAVs (Mogami + Kumano), seems that worked. For that Wo node, any special note, or just use air superiority + line ahead like usual?

FUCK YEAH! Now I can finally say goodbye to this shitty map until next month. My resources got hurt and downed to 19k fuel using 1 Slow 1 Fast BB, 2 CAV and 2 CV.

>>12142589
You mean next week.

100% boss node yasen route. (unless you get critted on the night battle). Mogami has 2 Zuiun and Tone 2 recon.. the other 2 CA also have one recon plane.

As you can see is nothing really impressive and only once I didn't sunk the boss. Funnyly enough, Ashigara, completely forgotten for a lot of time is getting MVP 9 out of 10 battles. Pity, because who received Kai 2 was Haguro.

>>12142589
T-lvl?

>>12142615

You have a similar HQ level to me (I'm 55), were you really fine with that fleet? I guess ship level is a placebo in some cases. I'll switch out all my Kongou's for some CA and torpedo monsters.

>>12142623

notice that you'd haave to modernize the CA or they will get critted rather easily...

>>12142356
I made it my standard home port theme because it has much more of a feeling of a fun adventure than the actual home port BGM.

>>12142635

I have a couple of modernized CAV already, but that is duly noted. I'll do some 3-2 farming for some fodder before I try it out.

I was thinking, what if you could exchange medals for cash items like damecon, furniture fairies or dock keys? I'm sure it would encourage people to do 5-5 more. It'll probably be a high amount of medals and it will make people play more, well at least once a month. Also makes the game more truly more free-to-play.

>>12142688
I'm sure more remodels is enough to keep people motivated.

>>12142688

The one thing that would make me happpy of that list would be extra repair docks.

>>12142739
Never happening. Just open your wallet.

>>12142694
When all world have their X-5 map, all new remodel will need a blueprint. Then X-6 starts appear, it gives two medals, but you have to clear it at least once for 7/10/14 days. At the same time, CVs and Yamato-class Kai2 come, and they need 2 blueprints.

I read it from Tanaka-san's sticky note in his office room.

>>12142769

lol. Are you the guy from here?
>>12142623
>>12142651

That' shit bad luck man...

>>12142780
No, I'm not him.
Also it's not like not I didn't S rank it in the end. It's just that its plain annoying to night battle for 1HP.

>>12142769
I hope you went into night battle.

>>12142795
Wait nevermind I got the answer a couple posts after that one.

Just my morning tiredness, anyone ever get to 2-5 boss node with nagato/mutsu? I dont.

its like using them will brings to node F while yamato and the fusou sisters didnt.

>>12142877
At low HQ levels, it's possible to get to the boss node with Yamato and Nagato.

>>12142880
my bad, I mean for those at HQ over 101

>>12142877
HQ level 100, I put Nagamon to tank 5th slot.

>>12142894
whats your composition?

>>12142901
this >>12142488 but replace Kirishima/Haruna with Mogami/Kumano

>>12142904
does that works? still goes F node for me.

Anyone here below HQ Lv.100 who got an Urakaze?

>>12142922
That setup led me to SE->NE everytime.
BB: 46s/recon/radar
CV: Taihou has one Saiun
CAV: 20.3/recon/Zuiun

>>12142949
my set is this >>12141483
and my CAVs are the kai ni tone/chikuma

>>12142949
oh I see, is that both recon and zuin (634)?

>>12142877

I can with Nagato/Kongou/Suzuya/Kumano/2CV. F Node is pretty much random like 5-5 but a higher chance of getting to NE. I never sparkled but my placebo was having two boilers for my CAVs. I had to equip Saiun as well since T-disadvantage didn't do some damage to the boss.

Time to start a Urakaze farm for all dem delicious guns

>>12142956
I've been going F node all time since yesterday and now I feel like jumping off a building.

>>12142959
Putting aside getting the Urakazes, leveling them to 35 would be a pain in the ass.

>>12142952
>>12142953
I don't know if Zuiun is really required or not, actually. Just tested my fleet and replaced Zuiun for radar, and it still goes to NE.

This is my setup for test, I made a mistake by putting Saiun at wrong place.

i don't know why people face a problem with compass bullshit, my setup with 1 BB, 2 CVL 3CAV(CA) away fine and away go to boss

>>12142985
what's your level and equip?
people above 100 and below 80 has different experience

>>12142992
LV 99, all with shitty seaplanes ,titty sisters with rare planes and 1 saiun but it not bucket friendly

>>12142992

LV 106 here. I was running 2 CVL and 4 CA/CAV, and my records is 9 boss kill, 2 F node dead end, 2 route critical damage out of 13 attempts. I guess F node is just a random thing, and 2/13 is reasonable for me, so, whatever.

>>12142119
Anon still searching for aforementioned videos here. Anyone?

I refuse to believe that I'm the only one out of the entire playerbase who pulled it off.

>>12143050
Not everyone records their runs and if you were under lv80 it would've been even easier to do it.

>>12143058
I was level 101 when the event started. Besides, I'd have thought that they'd have mentioned clearing E4 that way, even if they didn't record it.

>>12143064
Wouldn't be in a video though, mabye a tweet or something. Also there are a lot of players who don't blog about what they do even if RNG was on their side.

>>12142119
But did you farm it without using buckets? now that would be more impressive.

>>12143069
Well, I'd have thought people using unconventional methods would usually video them.

I wouldn't exactly say RNG was on my side other than for the drops (got Mikuma and Kumano out of it).

>>12143081
No point. There was nothing from E4 I wanted to farm. I already got Tanikaze from E2.

>>12142948
Lv. 81, 3rd clear.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm23624198

North route seems easy as hell. Might as well try to experience it.

>>12143088
You can see pokehamu's video, and there's also E-5 clearing try with Nishimura's fleet.

>>12143090
Yeah it wasn't so bad. I switched to it until I got Urakaze.

>>12143088
Not using buckets isn't really a unconventional method, people tend to do special fleets like what >>12143091 said, and there was that one guy who used fresh LSC ships to do the event.

>Myoukou, Nachi, Haguro
Ok, how hard is it going to be to S rank 2-5 with lvl 1 ships?

>>12143091
If by pokehamu's video you mean http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm23413535, then it only shows his clearing run; I can't tell whether he used any buckets.

>>12143100
Conventional method would have been to throw buckets at what is seen to be a bucket-intensive map because of the preboss node and stuff. What I did required no buckets, no waiting and took me only 90+ minutes, not days.

>fresh LSC ships
Holy shit, I don't even have enough resources to LSC enough for a fleet that can satisfy compass rules easily.

That said, I didn't even touch my Mutsu I got from Arpeggio event until E5. Does it count?

>>12143117
That depends on whether you're willing to modernise them at that level.

Is there any reason the timer on the Kancolle Viewer being 1 minute faster that the timer in the game?

>>12143163
If you go to the home screen with expeditions less than 1 minute left, or the repair screen with repairs less than 1 minute left, they will automatically finish. It's a known feature that KCV takes into account. (Not sure if exactly 1 minute counts for both cases.)

>>12143168

I also love all his new kai2s. They're just great,

And she's my favorite bob girl. It's okay she's already perfect anyway ;_;.

>>12143293
Can't wait for Nachi. She's one of earliest CA after Kinugasa and Mogami. I can't get tired of her secretary vibe.

>>12143313

How can't you love Ashigara and Sendai as secretary? Their obssession with battle is quite funny?

>>12143313

How can't you love Ashigara and Sendai as secretary? Their obssession with battle is quite funny. II just want to see the wolf rampaging llike crazy oon her Kai Ni remodel.

>>12143325

>>12143346
There needs to be a ship with the personality of that dude from the Doom comic.

Kumano comes close, but only in battle.

One and done, additional reward was large furniture box.

S ranked, but unsure if it was actually necessary for the quest or not.

>>12143383
Seems like you need S rank according to wikiwiki.

>>12143381
Ashigara. No really, she's battle crazy.

>>12143383
Myoukou's and Nachi's damaged sprites are horrible. I dread the day I'll have to look at those while leveling them to 65-75 for a better version.

>>12143395
For a battle-hungry wolf, her damaged sprite is underwhelming. Nachi's is a lot more fierce.

I get 3 hamakazes but no urakaze still. YUDODIS

>>12143405
But Myoukou's damaged sprite is perfectly exploitable. I hope she keeps it if she gets Kai2.

>>12142948
>>12143089
Anyone here below HQ Lv.80 who got an Urakaze?

>>12143573
Why level 80? The scaling for 2-5 is below 100 or 100 and above, not 80

Tried 5-5 with 3 subs for the hell of it, worked better than 2CV 1CVL composition in my case.

Oh, I didn't realise her hair is braided like that. Definitely a plus to her looks if that's the case.

>>12143612
It's really hard to tell.

>>12143610
You did use trash support, right?

>>12143635
Nope, full support and refueled them after every sortie for the heck of it.

Total resource cost & rank?

Just a few 5-2 runs for weekly quest are enough to make me explode with rage. You can't never underestimate this game.
And look like I already used up more bauxite than quest reward.

>>12143652
20571 fuel, 16899 ammo, 15501 steel and I gained 338 bauxite. 40buckets spent in 15 or so runs, 7 reached the boss, 8 retreats.

What did you mean by rank?

KCV is dead then?

>>12143668
What's your server ranking?

Join logbook masterrace

>>12143712
What's the differences?

>>12143710
Currently 309, why?

Anyone still using the english logbook?
I will be maintaining the program until someone else does.

>>12143720
Yes. That would be great.

>>12143720
I'm using japanese version since the english one didn't record my craft results except penguin. If you're going to update it then I'll give it a shot again.

>>12143719
Wondering how many rankers leave 5-5 until the last day

>>12143748
Not many I reckon, I just did it because I was bored of running 5-4 everyday.

>>12143596
Drop rates?

>>12143698
There's always the original version. It lacks the cookie injector though, if you depend on that. And I think it doesn't have a landscape view. Also, I think Z will be back sooner or later.

>>12143775
Can we add the cookie into IE manually instead?

>>12143720
I use it and will always use it and I also make everyone I know who plays kancolle use it
we're 4 versions behind right now
Maybe even 5

>>12143765
Based on level scaling, not a separate scaling

>>12143786
No, you need KCV magic to do that.

>>12143791
What is this nonsense? there's a pastebin with instructions on how to insert the cookie manually.
I forgot the link tho.

>>12143790
I'm not him but I was under the impression Urakaze drop rates were based on level scaling.

>>12143794
All drops, if scaled at all, are scaled to whatever level scaling the map has, if it does at all
That's what I've been saying

Am I being trolled?

Is this it?

>>12143796
Forget it, I'm confused too.

Remind me how the fuck do you guys survive the bossnode with "light" fleets?

>>12143800
Git gud.

>>12143800
Anon, why do you bring destroyers? Just bring good old CLT and CAV.
