/jp/ - Otaku Culture

First for best class

Reminder that next maintenance is on 28th. Midway would be on early August (probably 1st or 2nd week). And the devs told you to be well prepared.

>>12284157
I don't feel prepared in the slightest, and I still need more Reppuu.

>>12284157
Nah, I bet rankfags with low resources can still clear this event.

>>12284162
Get more buckets anon.

9 reppu, 1 reppu kai, all CVs over lvl80, Taihou at 125. I feel somewhat prepared

>>12284173
That or pray for level scaling.

>>12284162
Probably fine except for the last map

>>12284179
AL maps may have level scaling but I doubt MI maps will have it.

>>12284157
Not feeling very ready. 5 Reppu, 1 reppu kai, CVs at Lvl77/78.

Hoping to reach 100K for the rest of my resources. Is it still possible?

>>12284186
Yes, if you start now, faggot. 24/7.

>>12284184
My situation is similar to this anon, but I only have 3CV at around level 70, and only 3 46cm.

Oh, and my resources in not as much as his.

>>12284184
>5 Reppu
>almost 300k

do you hate crafting or what?

>>12284183
Even spring extra missions had level scaling, all maps will have it.

>>12284193
And Spring event was supposed to be easy and relaxing.
Midway event isn't

I am prepared.
>>12284186
Yes, of course. Mind you, I was taking it easy. If you sortie efficient expeditions and sparkle you can double what I've got.

>>12284178
>>12284184
>Over 100k
>somewhat prepared
People got through Ironbottom sound E1-E4 on 50k even. E5 and E6 do take another 50, but you can build that up during the evenrt.

>>12284194
When did they say spring event was supposed to be relaxing?

>>12284192
I only do dailies and I don't get much reppu at all. Sitting on 11 Suisei 12A and 12 Saiun...

>>12284201
>Saiun
I found your problem.

>>12284199
>No regen guage.
>Level scaling for newbies.
>Shitty CL as event clear reward.
If those aren't supposed to make the event relaxing then I don't know what will. They don't even give us any warning until the last week where they just dumped alot of info for new mechanic.
And compare that to Midway event, the devs have been telling us to be very well prepared, and even added extra line for Akagi just for it.

>>12284193
The extra missions also had weak rewards. You can bet that the new LSC bait ship who bumped Musashi from her trophy position won't be served on a silver platter.

>>12284197
>Ironbottom sound E1-E4 on 50k even
Which was an event full of night battles that you could bring the cheapest ships in the game to. Midway focuses on one of the most expensive classes, and it'll have VT fuzes and possibly bauxite scaling by plane rarity. Not to mention this event sounds much bigger than four maps. Over 100k is still ready to go, but Ironbottom was special in many ways.

1st CarDiv at 87 and 86
2nd CarDiv at 12 and 7
5th CarDiv at 67 and 34
CVLs at 95, 94, 63, 52, 40, and 7

5 reppu, 25k all, 65 buckets

hoping for E4

>>12284214
>65 buckets
What the fuck you have been doing?

>>12284211
Pretty sure that before spring event, they told us to be prepared for it as well.

Also, I'm sure that the next event will have level scaling as well, and possibly no regen gauge, too.

>>12284217
>What the fuck you have been doing?
not expeditions

i spent them all on E5 and haven't played much since then

>>12284201
How much bauxite do you throw into your crafts? Any more than a 100 and you'll shit Saiuns everyday.

>>12284222
20/60/10/110. I do need more Ryuusei kai as well. 6 atm.

>>12284233
Use 20/60/10/100.

>>12284233
100 bauxite is enough for RK.

I wonder how devs are going to make this into Al event map.

>>12284278
AL will more likely be a Dutch Harbor battle, with an airfield-like boss to bomb.

>>12284286
I know I know, it just would be hilarious to have event map where you just look at fairies laughing at retards.

It's going to be fine.
If not, I trust chinese hackers, who won't be able to clear the map in time, to do something about it.

What's better, cut ins or double attack?

>>12284331
Depends.

>>12284331
If you have infinite supply of Maruyu, cut-in.

Fuel: 65397
Ammo: 34216
Steel: 83003
Bauxite:50463

Not that ready on resources, somewhat ready on equipment. All CVs on 60+ lvl. the rest of my fleet is quite decent, or so I think.

>>12284298
No matter who the boss is, I'm ready.

Also, will they release another bob Kai2 ship during the event? Nachi had some records during AL/MI, so I predict she'll come.

>>12284342

Fuck Nachi, give me Ashigara Kai Ni already.

>>12284342
HOI4 when?

>>12284338
8 Reppu to 3 Shiden Kai 2 ? Did you scrap some Shiden?

>>12284351

No, those are the only ones I've ever got.

>>12284347
Those fighting words, anon.

I think I'll skip Midway. I'm not ready.

>>12284351
RNG magic.

>>12284362
What's your fighter recipe?

>>12284349

Next year Anon, or so they announced. I just hope they improve the horribad naval AI. Winning against the USA in the pacific as Japan is a joke.

Midway paranoia please go.

>>12284366

Not him, but this>>12284338

20/60/10/120 Using Akagi Kai or Ryuujou Kai Ni gives all 4 type 3 star planes.

>>12284369
It's a game, what's the point of playing if they'd make it impossible to change history?

>>12284351
Not him but seems like you're more likely to get Reppu than Shiden Kai 2 for some reason.

>>12284366
I used to use the "miracle recipe" 21/60/20/131.
20/60/10100 rarely gives me reppu.

>>12284369
> Winning against the USA in the pacific as Japan is a joke.
Try War in the Pacific. Winning as IJN is hard to impossible depending on your difficulty setting. Historical accuracy, my ass. It's fun though.

>>12284380

I want a challenge, not something I can walk over.

>>12284384
I get Reppu and Shiden Kai in similar rates, that's why I did ask.

>>12284388

don't get me wrong, the game is the best WWII simulator in real time, specially the european theater, but they reallyy messed up the USA naval AI.

>>12284390
Maybe it's just RNG, then. 20 Reppu and 15 Shiden Kai 2 here.

>>12284395
You only need 24 green planes

7 Reppu (including kai) and 8 Shinden Kai 2 here I'm fucked.

>>12284400
It's the result of past crafting sprees.

>>12284351
My reppu and shiden seems pretty balanced, but I never really get many of them until this week.

I hope this is somewhat enough, if I don't get them anymore.

>>12284405
Generally speaking, the most we would need to sortie is 4CV (5-6 is a bit insane and probably boring after a few sortie), so the most one would need is 16 Reppu or a combination of Reppu and Shinden.

Why do people think that CVs will stay Reppu whores again?

>>12284407
If not, it would be easy to get air dominance/superiority and with the those recon cut-ins, it would be easier to sweep the fleet. That is of course, they did not introduce a hard counter against recon attacks or limit fleet composition.

>>12284410
Or they could introduce a new game mechanic making it more worthwhile to bring offensive planes. And you probably can't win with 4CV filled with 3greens and one red.

>>12284393
> but they reallyy messed up the USA naval AI.
It can afford brute forcing. On anything above historical it just drowns me by sheer numbers, I can barely manage to sink 'em all before they overwhelm me. I "lost" my first 2 hard campaigns despite holding all the pacific but Pearl Harbor in my grip before being overwhelmed(they pushed me back to Truk by '46, I was still holding Alaska though).

>>12284414
>And you probably can't win with 4CV filled with 3greens and one red.
That was actually a conundrum in Spring E5. Bringing 2CV is pretty worthless as the green planes drag them down but bringing 3CV raise their effectiveness as you could distribute the greens easily but cripple the fleet as they can't do night battle. Perhaps we can finally have a night battle CV but that CV would require a special plane/equipment to do it.

Rough prediciton of the upcoming event.

E1 : AL
- Sea battle, boss is a CA/BB
- Scrub albeit very cute DD/CL

E2 : AL
- Bombing of Dutch Barbor, boss is an Anchorage Demon/Princess
- Reward : Ranking exclusive plane, Mamiya, furniture fairy

E3 : MI
- Sea battle, boss is as strong as a Southern war demon/Princess
- Reward : Shiden Kai
- Event drop exclusive DD here

E4 : MI
- Sea battle, boss is a very buffed up Armored Carrier, compass requires one sub.
- Reward : Unryuu class CV

EO1 : MI
- Bombing of Midway, boss is an Isolated demon *princess*
- Reward : Ibuki
- Different drop exclusive Unryuu class

EO2 : MI
- Sea battle, boss is *who cares because she'll have 5 BB Princess as escorts*
- Reward : Shinano
- Event drop exclusive DD here
- Five days before the end : yet another Unryuu class exclusive drop on S rank bosses here.

>>12284439

I'm not ready, specially for map farming.

>>12284439
Shiden Kai never again, and you know it.

>>12284439
Please, E2 reward is Ooyodo, everyone knows that.

>>12284439
Only 6 maps?

>>12284439
If they're going for historical accuracy, they probably won't put any BBs on MI. But then again the devs are quite the sadists so it probably won't be, unless they do go for it but instead introduces some new CV with planes that can easily fuck our CVs even with full fighter load-out.

SS or SSV for 2-3 farming?

>>12284439
>>12284454
>Shiden Kai

>>12284439
They hinted that AL and MI are separate sets of maps, no?

>>12284469
SS.

>>12284470

http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Shinden_%28Magnificent_Lightning%29_Kai

>>12284476
My point exactly.

>>12284476
>>12284477
Let's not dwell in basic typo arguments, shall we ?

>>12284480
In this case, it's not just a basic typo.

>>12284480
Let's not bump this garbage for no reason shall we?

Are Iku and Hachi a rare drop or something? Been farming 1-5 for weeks now and still no drop.
HQ level 75 if that matters.

>>12284493
Yes. I've gotten Iku a few times before but no Hachi, yet.

>>12284493
Why do you ask the obvious.

>>12284504
Because I've heard that people have gotten them just from clearing the map for a medal.

>>12284502
Same. I have all subs, even the mexican, and Hachi still hates me.

>>12284512
That's RNG for you.
>>12284513
Just craft her. You can't be this unlucky.

>>12284512
Start reading the wiki

>>12284518
Which part exactly?

>>12284517
>Just craft her. You can't be this unlucky.
200 crafts and weeks of farming for Nagato. Still no Nagato. I keep doing the daily craft every single day.

>>12284518
Been a while since I last checked, did the wiki start categorising rares and commons?

>>12284519
those like this one:

伊19 (司令Lv40以上?)
伊8 (司令Lv80以上?)

in other words, the drops are level-scaled and you won't get Hachi before level 80 at all and Iku just at boss-node before that.

Not worth it farming for those 2 subs before level 80 there.

>>12284523
They didn't but there's this.

Got mine from farming spring event map before.

>>12284546
I always get those rare useless destroyers without any effort. Like Tanikaze.

>tfw doing the 30/60/10/120 Kaga recipe for getting Reppus for at least a month now.
>tfw still no Reppu but a shitload of Sauins,Shinden Kais,Suiseis and Ryuusei Kais.
>tfw I've been doing the wrong recipe all this time

P-Please help. I only have 1 Reppu and 10 Shinden Kais. ;_;

>>12284550
>Shinden Kais
>help
Please go.

>>12284548
Then you should have figured out that you wasted all your luck on those useless DDs.
Better luck next time anon.

>>12284555
I also wasted it on getting Yamato with second LSC, but that's minor.

>>12284557
Maybe when you start LSC for Musashi, one or two Nagato would pop up from there.

Is I-58 a trap? It seems to me there is a bulge in the nether regions of her swimsuit.

>>12284550
>Shinden Kais
Not again.

>>12284567
Yes.

>>12284557
>getting Yamato with second LSC
>minor

>>12284567
It's just a puffy vulva.

I'm sorry if what I ask is common knowledge, but what is that bar at the bottom screen of LSC? not the one that use 10 flamethrowers for instant built, the one right next to it. I tried once using it- wasted 20 build meterial, and good time wasted into getting those- and all of my resources for good measure, and all i got was a yamato. She is cute but still.

>>12284585
Dammit, and he was my first submarine too.

>>12284553
i obviously meant shinden kai ni. the +9 ones. is the reppu really that much better than them?

>>12284605
>shinden kai ni

>>12284584
What's wrong with it?

>>12284600
Really? It even has a fucking picture next to it.

>>12284615
But what does it do? what putting extra building meterial into the construction gives you?

>>12284621
Maybe you could do an analogy with something else you can use in varying quantities when crafting .. ?

>>12284624
Guessing is easy. I want an answer, not just a guess. You can imply that it affects the outcome in an unknown way (hance your analogy), that more building meterial increase the chaance for a rare ship to pop (since building meterials are harder to come by than normal resources), that it affects the quality and quantity of the equipment on the ship etc etc.

>>12284600
You could choose how many build material you want to use for LSC, from 1, 20 and 100.

It is believed that the more devs material used, the better the ships could be build, though it probably just RNG.
And 100 devs material is not recommended, use 20 or 1.

>>12284635
Thanks, you have helped me preserve resources

I wish your fleet many victories

>>12284439
I think they are going to split the event into a separate world for each operation.
Hopefully they will treat the worlds like world 3 and 4, meaning that we will not need to clear AL operation to access MI operation.

>>12284468
I guess one of last two map in MI operation will be a night battle map where we will chase the exhausted USN carrier fleet.
The mechanics will probably be similar to night battle in Fall E4 boss node.

If the devs want to add some suffering, they could buff the floating fortress stat to 100 or 200 HP.

>>12284553
>>12284584
>>12284608
By this point, we already knew that it always meant Shiden Kai2.
No need to post pointless comment, especially when we haven't reach the bump limit yet.

>>12284632
>it affects the quality and quantity of the equipment
When did you start playing this game ?

>>12284640
>bump limit
I wish we could get sage visible again, now I forgot to preserve the bump limit in most of my posts...

>>12284648
2 weeks ago.

>>12284640
Bump limit?
Use
email:"sage";boards:jp;always

>>12284666
Is there an addon for that?

>>12284640
>No need to post pointless comment
If anything his comment was a useless Midway paranoia post.

>>12284640
>By this point, we already knew that it always meant Shiden Kai2.
He doesn't.

>>12284669
That's for 4chanX

>>12284639
Better as in rarer, like Yamato, or other LSC exclusive ships. We even have a chart for percentage of recipe to build ships a couple months ago.

>>12284674
should've guessed.

>>12284677
Except that according to some of those charts, your best bet is using 1 dev-mat.

The differences between the use of dev-mats are so low it's probably just noise anyway.

Musashi next try?

>>12284726
Keep trying until you get her

>>12284749
So fat.

Loli Musashi best Musashi.

>>12284749
Is YNB a real thing?

>>12284749
I bet she stinks like sweat and cheap fast food. Gross.

>>12284826

Are they blocking gajin creditcards now? No matter what I try I can't get my CC.

>>12284882

Don't try to ruin tea.

>>12284899
I bought 1000 points with my visa debit three weeks ago. I have no problem using my card and it cost me like 9.7X USD.

>>12284910
Maybe they just hate yuros. I can't pay with the card on Japanese app store either.

>>12284908

>ruin tea

It's a perfectly legit way of driinking tea, taght to me by an english woman. Letting the tea brew on cold water on the fridge takes a day but the tea won't ever get bitter.

>>12284918
Was the woman the queen? If not, she doesn't know shit about tea.

>>12284923

more than you do, that's for sure.

>>12284902
Apparently drinking hot tea when it's hot cools you down.

>>12284908
Iced tea is far superior to hot tea.
Hot tea is for tyrants and supplanted indigenous cultures.

>>12284972
I bet you buy tea from a convenience store, peasant.

Time for more Midway predictions.

Aleutian Invasion: Operation AL, a separate series of maps intended but not required to be done before Midway.

AL1: June 3 Attack on Dutch Harbor
Junyo and Ryujo launch torpedo bombers. Dark, foggy conditions lead to compass fuckery getting you lost. Antiaircraft fire and land-based fighters put up strong resistance. The boss will be a land airbase like Henderson.

AL2: June 4 Attack on Dutch Harbor
On June 4, the Japanese returned for a daytime attack. Expect a fuel storage node. The boss will be a stronger version of the previous one.

AL3: Capture of Attu and Kiska
A force of light cruisers and destroyers occupied the islands of Kiska and Attu on June 6 and 7.

The Japanese captured the inhabitants of Kiska: a small U.S. Navy Weather Detachment consisting of ten men along with their dog. The game will most likely represent the weather station as a powerful island hime and the dog as a flagship destroyer. Attu was inhabited by 45 native Aleuts, a radio technician, and his wife. The game may represent the radio as an island boss and the wife as a battleship.

Hibiki was damaged by bombs on June 19, and in early July, submarine attacks sank Arare and Nenohi, and seriously damaged Kasumi and Shiranui. Expect enemy planes and subs.

Operation MI

MI1: Bombing of Midway
An initial night sea node followed by day nodes with battles against land-based bombers and an island boss. A damaged B-26 nearly crashed into Akagi's bridge, so she'll get crit if you bring her.

MI2: Main Carrier Battle
Sea battle between carriers. Multiple waves of US torpedo bombers attacked the Japanese carriers. SBD squadrons spotted the wake of Arashi, which had attempted to attack the submarine Nautilus, which had attacked Kirishima. This could be an endurance battle in which the a BB's second shelling round is dangerous. Likely to require 4 carriers. Due to the absence of Shoukaku and Zuikaku, it may be advantageous to bring 5 or even 6.

MI3: Carrier Counterattacks
Sea battle between carriers. Counterattacks by Hiryuu against Yorktown. You'll fight Yorktown twice in the map (the repair efforts after the first attack were so effective the Japanese thought it was a different carrier). Yorktown was eventually put out of action by two torpedoes, so torpedo bombers may do extra damage.

MI4: Final Carrier Battle
Sea battle between carriers. Enterprise attacks Hiryuu with dive bombers.

MI5: Night Battle
As darkness falls, the abyss briefly withdraws and then turns back to fight at night. Historically, the Japanese withdrew. The right composition, such as getting a Yamato into battle or having an all fast fleet, may grant a shortcut.

At 02:15 June 6, SS Tambor attacked a group of cruisers and destroyers, so you'll face a powerful enemy sub. Over the following two days, enemy carriers launch airstrikes. Imuya hits Yorktown with two torpedoes, sinking her, and a third sank destroyer Hammann. You'll have to bring a sub, and Imuya is a kai 2 candidate. Possibly a carrier boss guarded by a super sub, and an exclusive drop can be obtained by S-ranking it.

As if I'd read the predictions of someone who can't even spell the ships' names.

>>12285332
I giggled

How fucked we will be if they release a whole new set of abissal girls with unknown stats?

Kamikaze when?

My prediction is that they'll add new level correction content.

< HQ40 and you can do it without green planes.
< HQ80 and you need 4 slots of rare green planes.
HQ81 and above, you'll need 12 slots of rare green planes.

PS. Limit 2 CVs, or you end up in submarine and night battle.

>>12285541
I want to find out how the French(?) naval force lost to a German motorcycle squadron.

>>12285553
If you mean Toulon, Germany wanted to take Vichy France's ships. The French Navy didn't want to hand the ships over but, recognizing the Petain government (as many did initially) as the lawful government of France, could not flee to Allied ports (and at any rate was not prepared for it), so they decided to sink everything instead.

On paper (hell, most of the comparisons between navies of the period can only really be done on paper), the French navy was a good match for the Kriegsmarine, but never really saw much action before the war was lost on the ground.

>>12285562
Ok that sounds a lot less ridiculous than it looked in numbers.

What's the easiest way to spend money on this game? I don't have a webmoney account. Is it best to just buy stuff with the ingame menu?

>>12284672
Judging from recent screenshots, it's reasonable to say that only tiny fraction of this thread residents have Shinden Kai.

>>12285390
Yeah, Their class is the only one who doesn't get decent attention from the devs or fanarts.
I wish the devs issues a sprite modification for Nagara, hopefully something similar to >>12285386. Her current sprite looks like she had a mild case of hydrocephalus.

>>12285860
Well, who cares about the Nagaras outside of Isuzu and Abukuma? And even then, people just draw Abukuma because of Kitakami.

>>12285899
I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Speaking of Nagara class, do y'all like Abukuma?

>>12286087
Yes, even before I encountered her Kitakami line.

>>12286087

She's cute but the voice is too strident. Even so, being twintailed gives her enough points to stay on my fleet.

>>12286087
I use her to run expeditions with tenryuu, her voice annoyed me whenever she'd come back but now I'm glad she's there for me.

>>12286087
No, but I keep her because she's rare.

>>12285860
Help

>>12286160
I keep on forgetting they exist. I get reppu fine, but Shiden Kai II eludes me.

>>12286087
Yes, but I never associate her with the other Nagaras. She's Kitakami punching bag class light cruiser Abukuma.

>>12286087
No. She reminds me of Kirino.

>>12285390
It's a downright shame because her design is incredibly delicious.

If they got her artist to do the design and then had her drawn by someone else, she'd be one of the more popular girls out there.

I hope I can make it before the event.

>>12286510
Why are you leveling up useless destroyers?

Kawashina is pretty great.

I finished E5 during spring event on my last possible sortie, and only because of level scaling.

>>12285860
>Judging from recent screenshots, it's reasonable to say that only tiny fraction of this thread residents have Shinden Kai.
Yeah, which makes it all the more annoying.

>>12285899
Because they lack Kai 2s save for Isuzu.

Abukuma's also a member of the kuma fleet.

>>12286578
Kuso.

His/her art style has shibafu's pleasant simplicity while being a little more expressive. It's a pity we won't get any official art made by him/her

>>12286556
> Because they lack Kai 2s
They have stats that are flat out better then all Sendai K2s save Jintsu, and she's only marginally better. They don't need K2 if you care about stats first.

>>12286578
>not marrying your starter for romantic value

Obviously you're void of love for your Kanmusu

>>12286589
But love doesn't win wars.

>>12286588
Kai 2's not just about the stats. Case in point: Kinugasa.

>>12286362
Then you should like her.

>>12286592
You must be deprived of any type of emotion. I feel extremely sadden by you choice of words. Anon, one day you'll find it, don't give up!

>>12286592
>love doesn't win wars.
You've already lost the war.

>>12286592
B..but muh chinese porn games taught me that love can defeat anything!

>>12286602
If she weren't the bitchiest of all the queens of bitching bitches who bitch I would have liked Kirino.

>>12286610
Maybe if you paid attention to the story and development, and not only to the pretty pictures, you would not sound retarded now.

>>12286594
The sad thing is that you can still get her gun faster via Mikuma. They really let Kinugasa and (to a lesser extent) Naka-chang down with their Kai II.

>>12286589
You'd be surprised how much of a motivation boost love can be.

>>12286603
>>12286605
>>12286609
>>12286616
Someone said it on before, on the /a/ thread, that the emotion of love is a hindrance during wars; it's a death flag. The idea that love can defeat anything is an lie that fiction is telling us.

>>12286617
Levels are actually how much she loves you, anon. Love is what enables you to win.

>>12286617
You're watching the wrong shows.

>>12286617
Was it the guy claiming to be asexual? He's joking.

>>12286617
do u think luv cn bloom on a battolfield

>>12286612
I did. I thought the story up until the final "special episodes" were decent. However, that didn't help Kirino at all. If she wasn't maximum bitch in the beginning she might have had a chance to be liked.

>>12286617
Nah, making a promise is a death flag. Love is a powerful weapon, G Gundam taught me this.

>>12286617
Someone built their admirality district ON THE EDGE OF THE CRATER
LIKE THE PROPHETS ONCE SAID

>>12286624
Ah, so you're a secondary. Nevermind then, say no more.

>>12286617
No, saying you want to marry them cause you really love them is a death flag, anon.

>>12286624
I find maximum beginning bitches to be far more endearing than wishy-washy personalities who only wallow in their indecision, and insidiously lead others on only to eventually decide on rejection after all, as if it were the biggest epiphany in the world.

>>12286632
It's normal for friends to stay friends, dude.

>>12286631
At least said anon probably marry them before Midway starts, imagine promising to marry them after Midway. Now that is a death flag hung so high, even other Death from alternative universe could see them.

>>12286633
I know, I'm projecting ;_;

>>12286635
After we beat E-5 for the last time and my beloved reaches Level 99, and we'll get married and watch the sun set together.

>>12286617
I'm here.

>>12286620
Tell that to Kongou.

>>12286621
If I were watching the wrong shows I'd be saying that fiction tells us that love can't defeat anything. The fact that I'm saying otherwise means that I'm not watching the wrong shows.

Unless you mean that shows telling us that love can defeat anything are the wrong shows, in which case I'll take it that you're agreeing with me.

>>12286622
>not being asexual
You can't be serious.

>>12286623
The battlefield will be your graveyard then.

>>12286625
>>12286631
Nope, that's only one of many ways love can manifest as death flags. Love is a weapon that will harm yourselves more than your adversary.

>>12286626
...what?

>>12286630
>I don't like the way you think. You're a secondary!
Just letting you know, I didn't feel any emotional attatchment to any girl in the show and didn't like any of their personalities.

>>12286645
I don't think you know what secondary means.

>>12286645
He's saying you should have read the novels, where Kirino is supposedly less of a bitch.

I haven't watched or read it.

>>12286645
Secondary doesn't mean what you think it means, anon.

ITT someone who isn't head over heels for moeshit gets gawked at incredulously

>>12286635
Well if your already married wanting to see your newly wed would be your top priority and dying would be unacceptable.

>>12286656
In a thread about the queen of all moeshit games, that's to be expected.

I hope you're not playing this game for the plot.

>>12286644
> Love is a weapon that will harm yourselves more than your adversary.
Love is but one of the many things that can enable men to push themselves beyond their limits. Dismissing it like this is just wasteful.

>>12286651
>>12286655
Ok, yes, I made it seem like I didn't know what he meant by secondary. I fully admit that. My mistake was mentioning the show, since I assume no one reads the novels.
I myself did skip around the novels, it wasn't really much better than the show, and I still didn't like her. I don't get how anyone who isn't full on M could like a girl like that beyond just her body and face. Anyway since this is almost as off topic as it gets I'll stop here.

>>12286677

Please, stop before you say more stupid things. I feel sorry for you. Try mentioning selective reading on /lit/.

>>12286679
Yes, I'm sorry I didn't catch that. I meant "two" in that sentence.

>>12286671
Only because love lowered their abilities in the first place, making "beyond their limits" seem better than what it really is. They're really performing worse than what they would've performed without love.

And that's why you'll die.

>>12286802

It is not; on the contrary, things have become much better without love.

How many levels are on all your Mutsukis combined, shireikans?

>>12286830
I don't have the game open at the moment but at least 400.

>>12286917
Keep one of each. Don't upgrade to CVL until the second remodel level, first CVL form is pretty shitty.

>>12286854
2 expedition fleets and I like them a lot.

>>12286863
Well, that was just a mistake.

Souryuu Kai 2 needs S rank at 4-3, right? What are the 2 additional ships I need to add to rig the compass to get to the boss? Is 1 BB + 1 CAV good enough?

Remember that the fleet needs 2 DDs.

>>12286968
>rig the compass
You wish.
Just bring 1 BB and 1 CAV and pray that you get sent to boss node.

>>12286984
If you manage to get sent south from the node south of the maelstrom, 2CA will get you at least west to the pre-boss node. You're still on your own for the coin flip afterwards though.

Note that the two CA can't be CAVs.

>>12286989
meant to quote
>>12286968

>>12286989
Unless you have 2 really strong CAs, chance that you won't be able to S rank boss node even if you managed to get there.
And if you get sent to the maelstrom node, by the time you hit boss node, you will only be able to deal scratch damage.

>>12286989
I see, guess I can only do that then.

>>12287000
I have Myoukou and Haguro Kai 2, and getting to the boss node takes priority over S-ranking it anyway (it still adds to my world 4 weekly clears if I get at least a B).

And if I get the maelstrom I can probably kiss my chances of getting to the boss node goodbye.

>>12287300

>>12287306
Midway isn't important.

>>12287300
Sparkling is placebo

>>12287311

>>12287312
just like Shinano

I hope Midway makes those Type 91 AP shells relevant. I have a dozen of those sitting around because I can't bring myself to trash holo stuff.

Oh who am I kidding, it's going to be Sanshiki all the way isn't it?

>>12287331
I use them in setups but I still have more than I need. Unless you expect to field Battleship Row (with Battleship Row Two in backup) anytime soon, no.

>>12287331
It would be nice if they actually worked with daytime double attack.

>>12287331
Devs still got to make AA guns relevant too. They have an entire class of equipment that's inherently useless.

>>12287341
Seems historically accurate

>>12287248
Post Ushio bullying. She's objectively the best ship to bully.

>>12287341
Ever since the seaplane update, radars have become a white elephant too. You just need one, and only if you're expecting a whirlpool.
Seaplane goes on everything these days.

>>12287337
But the cut-in with it is good.

>>12287358
You still need 3 radars for purple nodes to minimise losses.

>>12287358
I still have 1 radar on many ships, since the combo is 2 reds + 1 recon + 1 free space.

>>12287365
>>12287367
For the bigger 4 slot ships, I usually put a Sanshiki there. Nowadays the star shell and searchlight contends for space too, though only when I'm expecting lots of yasen.

>>12287378
Sanshiki, why? You need to always get AS anyway, which makes additional AA on the ships less useful.

Arguably turbines are pretty useless too.

Evasion seems kind of useless overall. My Yukikaze has 110 evasion and she still gets crit'd all the time. You can always argue it's RNG at work, but when you're in my shoes you'll realize evasion has never worked, ever.

>>12287378
Different guy but I used to always bring greens on every ship possible because of how badly 1-4 traumatized me. Even now every single one of my ships ends up having some way of procing fleet protection despite having enough greens for supremacy.

>>12287386
Turbines are great for subslaving.

>>12287382
I'm grinding 5-4-A and I'd like all the AA I can get to guard against the node with a bunch of Wo's.

>>12287386
The devs have long fixed turbines to make them actually useful.

>>12287386
Evasion only decreases the likelihood of getting hit. It doesn't mean you won't get hit.
If you want to avoid going to red use the bulge.

>>12287392
5-4-a will never spawn a bunch of Wo's, there is only one formation with 1 Nu and one formation with 1 CA.

>>12287429
Armor only decreases the damage you receive a bit, if you want to avoid going to red you better pray to the RNG that the BB will miss.

>>12285860
I've been searching for months for that mpak... You've done God's work!

>>12287438
That's the problem with all these equipments.

You only have up to 4 slots, and +7 armor seems like a lot, but then in reality it's just a tiny bit of difference that's negligible.

You need 2 for guns and 1 for seaplane. That leaves you with with precious 1 space to put in whatever suits the mission.

5-5 Re still torpedoes a bulge'd Chitose to red more often than not. Utterly useless.

Are your hungry wolves and nacho chips ready for the bob hype??

So admirals, I have a theoretic question here. My friend asked me to take care of her kanmusu for a while because of lack of time. Is it safe to have two active games (for example one in the KancolleViewer and the second in Chrome or such) at once or do they have some magical machine which will detect this violation of rules and our accounts will be lost for all of eternity?

>>12287476
45 and 69 here.

>>12287478
Two accounts on the same IP are not safe.

>>12287476
Hungry wolf is in her forties. Wouldn't be too hard to ride her to her seventies. Nacho chips on the other is not even in her twenties. I will take it easy, my CA/V talent is pretty much ready.

>>12287478
yeah, the great wizards from DMM have the aye-pii detect'hor at hands, this artifact might thrawt your plans.

>>12287481
>Two accounts on the same IP are not safe.
But VPNs have millions of account in one IP.

>>12287476
Nachi is one of my earliest ships. The best office secretary admiral can have.

>>12287476
I scrapped nachos a long time ago (she was still regarded as common fodder back then) and I haven't seen another one since... Must be retribution.

>>12287478
Two accounts on the same IP is not safe, especially during the same time. I'm also worried about this, as I'll be travelling during the next event and you can never know is someone else in the hotel plays Kancolle

>>12287484
not every game cares, and as for kancolle I doubt..
>millions
...almost every single player use the same vpn.

>>12287484
>But VPNs have millions of account in one IP.

Yes but those aren't all used to play kancolle at the same time.
And (public) VPNs aren't safe for shit anyway.

>>12287489
I was exaggerating but I guess it didn't come out right.
Let's say hundreds then.

>>12287476

I'm so hungry right now that I'd rape an innocent maiden any moment now.

>>12287476
Nachi is 48, I'll start working on her for real as soon as we get the official announcement. If I get her to 70 right now, I can be sure that Ashigara will be announced first while Nachi has to wait until September or something.

>>12287476
>hungry wolves
>nacho chips
Heh.

They were 2 of my earlier ships (Nacho chips has ID no. 2 and Hungry wolf is 136); they're levels 66 and 62 respectively.

Even if I have to push their levels it shouldn't be much of a problem.

>>12287478
To be honest I never thought about that since I had to help my sister and later my friend out when they were starting, and I also had my own account to worry about at the same time as well.

Running 2 accounts simultaneously on KCV was hell, I tell you.

>>12287489
My sides.

>>12287476
Both are 71 since Haguro got her kai ni.

Sazanami's strawberry panties is one of the treasures of this world.

>>12287476
The only Myoukou class I have is Haguro. I don't have a free slot for them.
And I still won't hate money for this game.

Think anyone can vector this? If I can't go to summer Comiket, I'll just make one here.

How are faring your last desperate preparations for Midway? The plan for me was to level gradually Hiryuu and Soryuu on PvP but now I'm fatigue grinding then on 5-4-A like crazy.

And I still have to do the quests to get the special planes.

>>12287661
I'm skipping Midway. I've been playing this game casually and I'm unprepared. Most of my CVs are level 30s and I only have 2 Reppus.

At least I can focus on leveling up Maruyu.

>>12287661
Losing motivation. Part of me just wants it to start so I can burn through my resources, give up and quit this game.

>>12287661
6 carriers at level 80-97 with enough Reppus and Suisei12A should be more than enough.
Now just need to grind for Souryuu because I forgot to tick the damn quest before remodelling her. Probably just craft more 46cm and do LSC while waiting I guess to avoid the 300k cap.

>>12287661

I'm taking Kaga to my casual 4-3 grinding so she can reach 85 before the event since everyone else is around 85-90, I have about 12 reppus plus the reppu kai, I'd like more but that should be enough.

I thought spring event would be Midway, so I prepared for it, but alas it wasn't, so I just cleared up to E4, and then decided to skip E5 and try to get a hotel, unfortunately I ran out of devmats before resources due my previous crafting sprees trying to get reppus, but eventually I got her.

This time I'm gonna clear this event completely, then I'll burn everything I have left trying to get Musashi.

>>12287661
Just hovering at 130K-150K for all resources. Don't think I can make it Midway with my planned 200K resource. Reppu is a problem but I can always top it up with Shinden K2. CVs are 70 - 80 with Kaga Ai in 110. I think I'm pretty prepared but who knows what kind of curve balls will the devs throw.

>>12287661
My cranes and dragons and Taihou are ready. 1cardiv is only in the 50s and that's where they're staying. Too bad for them.

>>12287661
My only fear is a SS or CAV map requirement, since my best SS is level 21 and my best CAV is 30.

Otherwise, bring it on. 50k resources, enough equipment for everyone. This will be a cinch.

>>12287661
Casual expeditions and leveling whatever kai 2s are left in 2-3. It feels like a second home, so I don't mind if it is slow.

I have way more resources than bucket count anyway, so I think avoiding to be blown up is the most important.

What's the best equipment for a heavy cruiser?

>>12287665
Your priorities are so messd up anon...

>>12287703
Naive.

>>12287712

Try /w/

>>12287737
To unlock the plane quest you must first complete the composition quest with 2DD+Hiryuu K2+ Souryuu.
I remodelled Souryuu without ticking the quest first,now I'm stuck subslaving and sortieing to get another copy of Souryuu.

>>12287793
Worst Nagato.

>>12287789

are you sure? I remember some quest let you use remodeled ships even if they are Kai Ni.

If it's not like that I'm fucked up too because I remodeled Souryuu before Hiryuu.

>>12287793

>>12287801
I'm not looking for you.
Go away.

>>12287798
Tried that,didn't work.
The quest specifically asked for Souryuu+Hiryuu K2 to unlock composition quest with Hiryuu K2+Souryuu K2 before the sortie quest is unlocked.

>>12287807

welp, I'm fucked then. At ,least I'm not that interested in Tomonaga Tenzan as much as Egusa Suisei.

>>12287807
That's retarded from the devs.

>>12287807
Not trying to be annoying, but did you have Hiryuu as your flagship / all other requirements met?

I just want to make absolutely sure that you're right as I'm also in the same boat as you.

>>12287812
I'm going to guess that it's the case for most quests. Kai 2 fucks them up.

For example, try completing the DesDiv6 quest with Bep.

>>12287817
True, but Hibiki at least drops all over the place.
Souryuu can be a bit of a pain to get.

JP wiki says that Souryuu Kai 2 is fine too, you just need Hiryuu Kai 2 as flagship.

>>12287807
I'm pretty sure I completed that quest witj Souryuu kai2. But you can only have 4 ships, the 2 dragons and the 2 DD.

>>12287821

Thank God.

>>12287661
My checklist:

*Kido Butai, Cranes, and Taihou at level 77 or higher.
*8 Reppus, Reppu Kai, 6 Shiden Kai2, 5+ of both Suisei 12A and Type 62, 4 Ryuusei Kai, countless Ryuusei, 6 Saiun, 8 Observation Planes
*Chitose and Chiyoda at level 70+, RJ at level 75
*Tone and Chikuma at level 70+, Haguro at 65, Myouko at 70
*Kongou sisters, Bismarck K2, and Mutsu at level 82+
*All 3 CLTs, Isuzu, and the Sendai sisters at K2
*Super 6 Destroyers at 60+
*4 Searchlights, 2 Star Shells, Night Battle Plane

All of the above ships are fully modernized including AA

Current downsides of my fleet:

*No Hotels, no Nagato
*No 46 cm (I started just before the Spring Event, which I thought was Midway, so I spent most of my crafts on planes)

Despite the fact that BBs did fuck all at Midway, I'm probably going to have a terrible time trying to clear the later maps. That said, I hope the rest of you aren't focusing on your large ships to the detriment of all the others in your preparations. I wouldn't put it past the devs to put in at least one or two maps that are small/medium ships only or night battle only.

>蒼龍が改二でも任務達成が可能な事を確認済

>>12287821
Guess I didn't set Hiryuu as flagship then,well gotta wait a few more hours since Souryuu is out for expedition.
>>12287834
Was trying to complete A36 actually

>>12287836
Don't you still have to complete B25 to get the planes quest and unlock the Souryuu kai ni + Hiryuu kai ni quests?

>「艦これ」次回の全サーバ群共通メンテナンス＆アップデートは、少し間隔が短くて恐縮ですが、来週月曜日【7/28】に実施予定です。あの夏、呉で最後まで砲を掲げ空を睨んだ、高速戦艦姉妹の一人のさらなる改装が実装される予定です。

I hope your butts are properly lubed, Haruna anons.

>>12287846
Soon.

>>12287840
Only A36 to unlock B25 and both Kai ni quest

bismark drei coming

>>12287846
6 more days

>>12287846
It will be daijobu r-right?

>>12287868
I- I don't think it will be daijoubu.

>>12287836
And you also need 2DD for that quest.

>>12287851
That can't be right because I've completed A36 (but not B25) and I don't have the dual kai ni quests yet.

Managed to max out my main waifu before the event starts. Time to start stockpiling

>>12287882
>main waifu
Confirmed scum. She's too good for you.

>>12287825
Better get some BB,some problems can only be solved by having Kirishima tearing out their guts at night and replacing them with Type 3 shells.
>>12287870
Have some faith,not all monkeys are the same.
>>12287873
Nevermind,the japanese wiki mentioned B25 completion as requirement to unlock dual kai ni

>>12287882
plane on fourth slot ><'

Any reason the devs haven't announced the exact start date for Midway yet?

They announced the date for the Spring event at least a month in advance, and with an "early August" start time, we're well past getting the exact date a month in advance again.

>>12287900
It'll most likely be two weeks after the next update

>>12287900
Dude what does it matter if it's August 4th or 8th.

>>12287900
It's not like it changes much.

>>12287904
For me it matters a lot because I have to travel starting the 11th.

>>12287900

No excuses now, we were warned a long time ago.

where is Shigure's cock???

>>12287801

>>12287912
Probably still lodged in your butt.

>>12287912
>Shigure's cock
Talk shit about my wife one more time and see what happens, nerd.

>>12287912
I'd suck her dick, no homo
