Can't see Ooyodo's expression clearly here.

2 x (recon plane LOS) + radar LOS + sqrt (total LOS - recon plane LOS - radar LOS).

How does the new equipment work?

>>12353802
You failed to link to the anime PV.

>>12353817
No one cares.

>>12353817
てへぺろ

Sorry reposting this question, but I basically haven't played since the last event, and the English wiki doesn't have a page dedicated to them so I want to ask, how do medals work? I know that certain ships require ?4? for a kai ni, but don't 1-5 and 5-5 drop different medal types? What medal types are events dropping and what ships can use 1-5 medals?

Reposting some info from the previous thread:

MI formation:
Top left is an ASW formation
Top right (Alert) appears to increase evasion and shelling power of the second fleet.
Bottom left (Diamond) increases Anti-Air defense.
Bottom right greatly increases the evasion and torpedo accuracy of your second fleet while preserving the shelling accuracy of the first fleet. Recommended for bosses.

Effective LOS:
2 x (recon plane LOS) + radar LOS + sqrt (total LOS - recon plane LOS - radar LOS).

>>12353825
Read the wiki and stay there.

>>12353825
see
>>12353830
And all medals are the same.

>>12353832
Thanks for obviously not reading my post you retarded crossie attempting to fit in.

>>12353825
There's only one type.

>>12353833
Thank you, seems like a total joke that uryuu cosumes 4 medals if non hardcore ttks can only get the one from 1-5 every month.

>>12353840
Whobuki?

>>12353842
???
You can get 3each month.

Why Ooyodo is not a repair ship like Akashi but instead a regular CL?

>>12353842
2-5 isn't really that hard. Might take some buckets if you want it done quickly but due to the level scaling it's really doable.

>>12353842
2-5 is easy. And it's not like there are this many ships worth blueprints.

How many stream do we have?

>>12353840
Nice 53cm you fucker.

>>12353840
Too bad I wasn't around last November to get that torp. ;_;

Is there anything conclusive for the special formations for MI? I've been using #4 (bottom right) for everything, tried both #2 (top right) and #4 for boss but haven't seen much difference since the boss is so easy.

>>12353845
Because she was historically a CL?

>>12353857
I use top right.
My DD hit like a fucking truck.
My CLT and CAV doesnt even get a turn to kill her with sanshiki.

Its over.
The only ship I am going to be missing by the end of the event is Tanikaze.
Who would have thought.

>>12353866
Lucky fuck.

Reposting this shit.

>>12353866
You have more than two weeks to get Tanikaze too.

Game is called Kagerou Collection after all.

>>12353877
>two new Yuugumos
>Kagerou Collection

Where are you in the event now?

http://strawpoll.me/2309681

>>12353859

But I want a repair ship.

>>12353826
Effective LoS:
E1: 91
E2: 105
E3: ?
E4: 208 (?)

>>12353878
But those are just Yuugumos 4 and 5. That's not much of a collection. There are more Kagerous than I can count on my fingers.

Doing pretty well so far, aside from the fact that I sortied 2BB 4CV to AL instead of MI.

>>12353894
Get another Akashi then. She drops in E5, if I remember correctly.

>>12353897
Does level scaling jacked up LOS?

>>12353903
>Does level scaling jacked up LOS?
That's for Lv100 Admiral, so it should be scaled down.

The LOS scaling based on the HQ was like the most stupid idea ever.

It's not that my destroyers have a fourth slot just because I'm lvl 103.

>>12353899
4 (Naganami) was already in the game before this event and 5 (Makinami) still isn't out yet. Hayashimo is 17 and Kiyoshimo is 19.

Where'd Kazagumo (3) go though.

>>12353845
Why is Kaga not a repair ship like Akashi but instead a regular CV?

>>12353871
Not to question the information, but would like a source just for confirmation

>>12353916
It's not. At least I don't think it is. I didn't have to do anything particularly special to meet the requirements.

I'm more apalled at the amount of people who didn't train Tone and Chikuma. You'd think that by now everyone would have been wiser in the LOS department, but noooooo.

>>12353928
I don't particularly like Tone and Chikuma, and I don't particularly like having to train ships just because they're useful.

I'll be going into E6 with my Musashi at level 1 since last November. I might more than likely fail it, but dammit, I'm going to fail it with style.

Is there any branching rules for E4?

>>12353950
Lots of them.

>>12353960
What does it say?

Any reason why I get sent from B to F in E-2 or is it just RNG messing around with me?

2BBV/CAV/CA/2CVL

>>12353964
"Is the order a rabbit?"

Finally beat E1 after 100 buckets. 60 buckets used for 2xCVL and 1 win and 40 buckets used for 1xCVL strategy. CVL confirmed for Abyss spies.

So what do I need to know about E2 to use less than 100 buckets? The hint to use 2xCVL is already making me want to vomit.

>>12353975
Poor CVL, the devs even recommend using them and then they are reduced to mules to fullfill LOS and AS requirements.

>>12353975
the nice, non-RNG-troll route is 2 DD 2 CA(V) 2 CVL (with enough LOS). You're still subject to a troll submarine-or-not node but that is completely unavoidable.

>>12353975
Two main compositions, 2CVL/2DD/2CA(V) (south) and 2CVL/2BB(V)/2CA(V) (north).

The former is an easy route that will make you want to slowly and brutally murder your CVLs, who will invariably go to red on every other node. The latter is a more difficult route that has tougher enemies and a night battle node (so your CVLs will still go to red at the drop of a hat) but is a good idea for the final kill because you can bring your heavy guns and completely trash the boss.

Other than that, it's a bizarre wonderland where you will start praying for the submarine composition on the third node. Also, the harbor toddler bitch is a total joke, you'll feel sorry for her if you can get over your all-consuming anger at CVLs (both yours and the opponent's, flag Nu in diamond can oneshot whatever it damn well pleases).

So guys, did anyone sink their escort flagship yet?
There is no auto retreat when she is red.

Fuck it. I'm done with this event. Got Ooyodo. Got Tanikaze. Cutting my losses. This event can eat my asshole.

>>12354000
So, what planes would do good? I kept reading not to bother going for air superiority at boss node? And do you have to use support expeditions to get a clean kill or just slowly chip away the gauge and use support for the final kill?

>>12353975
1. Pick 2 CA(V) and give them proper* equipment.
2. Pick 2 CVL and give them proper* planes.
3. Pick 2 DD and give them lots and lots of love.
4. Give them radars, too.
5. Sparkle your fleet.
6. Pray, make a blood offering to RNGods.
7. Sortie.

* Find your own optimal setup.

>>12353994
Hey now, I managed squeeze one of those SS rank dragon planes on my Ryuuhou. She gets MVP sometimes. The age of CVLs is upon us.

Does anybody else feel like MI is really anticlimactic?

AL wasn't hard, but it was at least interesting. But MI is nothing more than a resource tax with a lame gimmick for CV-fans to masturbate over.

Should I use ASW equips over radar on my DD for E-4 for the troll sub node?

>>12354014
Oh nah, they have no problems with MVPs. My CVLs get MVPs all the time, often in the same node where they get to red.

It's the "not dying" part where they are lacking.

>>12354010
I just had 2 Reppus on Chitose and Chiyoda's largest slot. Whether or not I had air superiority, I did not notice (but I *think* I did).

>>12354002
I want to sink my CVLs because of this exact bullshit. They get to orange on the first node, somehow make it to preboss node with submarines, they still get hit to red.

>>12353808
>recon plane LOS
So other plane LOS (Tomonaga/Egusa squadrons etc) dosen't count?

>>12354027
Radar LOS shouldn't be called that, because radars are not the only non-recon items that give LOS. I think those planes fall under that.

>>12354019
No, E-3 is a nice breezer after the bullshit of AL

>>12354019
>CV-fans
What are you talking about.
My cute destroyers are killing shit, the CV are just reppu and saiun mules.

Abyss theme park when?

Nobody is using Tenryuu class for this event.

>>12354019
Eh? The power trip you get from E3 after the RNG fest that is E2 feels really good. But yeah, now it gets pretty grindy though. 10 kills for E4 is soul-draining on top of the compass trolling.

>>12354027
Yeah, they don't.

>>12354034
It means that non-radar non-recon plane equipment that give LOS are part of the square-rooted part.

>>12354048
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm24193351

>>12354051
Nice to see that backed up by actual testing.

So the verdict right now are "the devs are fucked up people"? Bullshit E-1 and E-2. Kinda easy E-3 and E-4. Compass troll E-5, as well as Isokaze being a captive of two BB hime.

>>12354051
No, that's retarded. They wouldn't even put the stats on the plane if it gave some negligible decimals. Only natural LOS is rooted.

>>12354046
That's cute. Is Haruna babysitting?

>>12354068
These are the same people who gave us regenerating gauges.

>>12354069
I think the game reporting absolutely meaningless numbers like LOS and ASW summations is pretty retarded too, but here we are.

>>12354068
> Bullshit
They barely take any resources. They are easy.

I can finally have some fun. Thought I would never make it.

>>12354057
>>12354069
That's what it says on wikiwiki, so I assume it's already tested.

>>12354084
Seeing a ship turning red ten time in a row in the first node is bullshit enough for me.

>>12354084
Barely any resources and anywhere between 100 and 600 buckets.

Good thing that bucket expeditions can give you back around 20 per day, if you spend 10 hours or so cycling expedition 2.

>>12354013
I tried this and got a dead end. Probably need more LoS so attached all I could. If next trip is dead end too, I guess I'll have to fill my CVLs with less AA and more scouting.

>>12354086
Is that E-2?

Hey guys, I have just came back from nearly a year of hiatus of not playing, trying to use Yuubari's KCV version, but it shows up as pic related. Has this been addressed before?

>>12354094
Yes.

>>12354089
It's your own fault for not being prepared. Devs warned you in advance that you'll need diverse fleet.

>>12354086
How would you deal with the nodes before the boss? Double line all the way? I'm also using 2DD2CA2CVL.

Any low level TTK have the screenshot of the enemy in triangle formation?

>>12354098
They're all high 50s. It's not about being prepared. It's about RNG. Even if you have a 150 ship and the enemy decides it wants to blast it to red, it will blast it to red.

>>12354093
2 saiun on each.

>>12354100
Line aboob all the way.

>>12354100
Line ahead but diamond on pre boss.
But I used support fleet only for the normal nodes. It was impossible to get there without.

I'm down to 100 buckets let and still haven't cleared E2. I'm done after this bullshit, even if you guys say MI is easier.

>>12354096
I think you didn't copy over the API link properly.

>>12354104
How your own negative luck magically becomes shitty map then?

>>12354098
Buckets are just so impossible to get. I've been leveling ships + bucketing since last event. I gained about 250 buckets total on those months.

As a non-NEET I'm probably supposed to be buying buckets of buckets. But I like trying to play it free on my free hours.

>>12354103
>triangle formation?
You mean this one?

>>12354119
The moment you need luck to clear something, it's not about having a diverse fleet. I know it needs to be challenging, but when it needs too much luck, there's something wrong.

>>12354086
Congratulations, I just got out of there as well. I'm especially proud of Kisaragi, she somehow did some 120 damage on the boss by herself and let Kako finish her off during night battle.

I've been looking forward to using her in a boss battle since she failed to dent a 1HP BB princess during Fall E5. Now at last she can have her revenge.

>>12354100
I ran double line, line ahead, double line. Line ahead in the second node allows you to drop these CAs before they get to the torpedo phrase. Using a light (2CVL2DD) route support is also useful for the same purpose.

>>12354130
Yeah, this one, thanks.

>>12354130
Dear god, what's the fun in this.

>>12354142
Feels good to be level 98. That's what you get for all the sub slaving.

>>12354130
What range is this?
<100?

>>12354130
I want to know what all of the other low level nodes looks like. These super babby boss nodes on E-1 and E-2 make me think the other nodes all have a single DD or something.

>>12354145
It's sub loving.

>>12354147
80(?) - 100
>>12354134 is the final form of it.

>>12354145
You got that at 98? I'm 97 and I get one extra DD in pre-final kill formations.

And that was a wrap for now, I've been rewarded with an inferior, trophy CV which I wouldn't probably use for a long time. Operation MI was like playing in Easy Mode, but the idea of combining two fleets into one was fun nonetheless.

E-1 to E-5 expenditures cost me around 25k Fuel-Ammo-Steel / 12k baux and burned 350+ buckets. Also If I had some spare CVLs, I would have started E-6 right away. Might as well grind them for a week or two.

>>12354158
I blocked off most of E2 already. One more DD doesn't make a big difference, though.

>>12354106
Something like that it seems. Couldn't make it this time either with:
DD Type22
DD Type22
CAV Type0 Recon
CAV Type0 Recon
CVL Saiun
CVL Saiun

Would it work including my 2 Type2 Recons?

>>12354167
It should, I did it like that. But you should rather do the math.

>>12354160
You mean better than the Cranes isn't good enough?

>>12354167
Try 3x Saiun in total, worked for me (TTK lv. 100).

>>12354160
>25k Fuel-Ammo-Steel / 12k baux and buckets
I'm relieved. I saw that 100k resource/400 buckets report and thought that was it for me.

If E1-5 uses that much, I can definitely tackle E6. I should get back to 500 buckets as soon as possible, though.

>>12354179
If she's better than the cranes, then why does she need a blueprint? Her exclusive equipments are nice though.

>>12354195
>If she's better than the cranes, then why does she need a blueprint?

Who cares about that?

If I can't kill the E3 boss in green T with support in her normal form, I don't know how I'm going to do this.
The CVs just run out of planes on the way. Akagi couldn't even attack. And Yamato doesn't know how to operate 46cm and misses all the time.
Branching, how does it work?

My lucky destroyers failed to proc at the E4 boss four times in a row now, I can't believe this shit. The new night battle equip is junk.

>>12354207
> having problems with E3
People have cleared it with fucking CVLs. What the hell are you doing?

>>12354160
Any tips for E3-E5?

>>12354207
Post your fleet setup.

>>12354207
>yamato
Hahahahaha.
I was killing her with DDs.

Do you lose equipment when you sink your ship? I'm tempted to advance in red just so I can finally clear this fucking map.

>>12354226
What do you think?

>>12354226
Yes. Some poor sod on /a/ lost his Kaga and his Reppu Kai that way.

Don't be that idiot.

>>12354215
Take 2 CAs with double-attack setup and sanshiki.

>>12354226

Strong girl is strong.

>>12354235
Marry them, you faggot.

Some of you guys with spare time should test it out if flagship escort can sink

>>12354235
I'm gonna guess it's a sub node.

>>12354235
As expected of the IJA.

>>12354239
E-4 boss node.

Good night Sweet Princess. Good night my first voiced boss. And thank you my godddess Kinugasa.

After 148 buckets the bucket was worth it: 2 Urakazes, Nagano, Noshiro, Naganami and all the rewards.

>>12354246
>148 buckets
anon pls
I don't have that many left and I'm still stuck on E1.

>>12354220
Haruna K2 - 41 41 yamato plane sanshiki
Yamato - 46 46 plane 32 radar
Akagi - RS kai 2x reppuu saiun
Kaga - RS kai reppuu kai reppu saiun
Hiryuu K2 - Tomonaga 2x reppuu type 2 recon
Souryuu K2 - Egusa 2x reppuu type 2 recon

Samidare - 2x 10cm and 22 radar
Akatsuki - 2x 10cm and 13 radar
Kaminari - 2x 10cm and 13 radar
Naka-chang - 2x 15.5cm and 32 radar
Mogamin - 2x 20.3cm plane sanshiki
Mikuma - same as above

I'm loving these advanced game mechanics "Don't get crit by the death slinging enemy ships, roll a D4".

Oh well, in 4 tries I at least have a 50% passing statistics on E2 node 1.

>>12354262
Why arent you killing her during night batol?

Do you need a CVL and 4DDs for E4?

>>12354281
Scratch damage all the way.

RIP

>>12354283
Replace Mogami/Mikuma with Kiso/Ooi
Keep KTKM for E6.

Anyone know if i can use a CVL instead for E-3? Only have 3 CVs, HQ87 so only getting hard mode maps.

>>12354246
That's the amount of buckets I started with, and I just finished E-3 with spares.

>>12354293
I'll try it.

>>12354296
Try CVL, BB, BB, CV, CV, CV, that's what I went with. Be prepared to lose a lot of baux due to parity.

>>12354305
It's not like you don't lose a shitton even with AS. Every run cost me 700.

>>12354305
Will do, I have 70k baux to blow through.

Fuck you and your stupid cat.

>>12354296
Yes you can. CVL is perfect Saiun carrier. 1 attack plane in the biggest slot 3 recon planes is the way to go.
>>12354305
> due to parity
You have 3 CVs to work with, that's enough to ensure superiority on every node.

Thank you sparkling and both support fleets. Tedious and time consuming and overkill but super effective. Almost uploaded my E-1 clear screengrab on accident because Mikuma dealt the finish blow there, too. Kumarinko strong.

>>12354270
What formation did you use? I almost always pass this node on line ahead. Ring formation is shit and only (un)lucky Ru crit forced me to retreat.

>>12354313
That looks promising, my CVs are ~70s, though no Kaga for her super slot.

>>12354301
Stil weird though. My DDs were killing thing left and right.
Are you using the correct formation?
You are supposed to use top right.

>>12354317
If you send a support fleet in AL does it get locked out of MI too?

>tfw scrapping event rewards

This feels horrible, fuck you DMM.

>>12354321
I tried both top right and bottom right, and they're both shit.

>>12354323
No. Ships in support fleets don't get operation tagged.

It just keep happening. Why, why the fuck does this always happen?

>>12354335
Noshiro

logbook v0.6.9 is now available at github.
- Ship list now shows which ships are locked/tagged to Operation AL/MI.
- Drop list/log now work properly in combined fleet maps (E3~E5).

>>12354331
Yes they do.

It keeps happening. Easy my ass.

Yasen Ru does single digits to Ise, elite Ri crits Yamashiro for 68; I just fucking love it. The trollsub and yasen Ru hardly ever do anything, it's always the Ri at first node (and now yasen node too) or the Ru at preboss. And I'm only using a single CVL too, but it doesn't matter as the flag Ri goes and crits Maya to red instead

I am seriously dreading E-2 now if I ever make it since I'll be stuck with a lvl 30 Shouhou to go along with the lvl 37 Junyou I'm already using. Fuck the devs for making us need just as many CVLs as CVs (4) for this event.

Anyone from No-Nagato Club got her in this event? I just got Mutsu and it reminded me of the despair.

>>12354345
Thanks.

>>12354347
SUPPORT fleet, not escort fleet

>>12354347
I'm talking about support expeditions, not the combined escort fleet. Bad wording, I guess.

Fucking E-2 E node spawns submarines every time I pick line ahead.
I hope it stays like this because echelon is shit for subs.

>>12354369
It wasn't bad wording. You were clearly talking about AL. He's an idiot.

>>12354345
Thanks man. This really helps with all the LoS bullshit in this event.

Th-Thanks, I guess. 9 out of 9 doesn't seem that random to me.

>>12354318
Line Abreast. Seemed like the obvious choice if you are a weak fleet encountering big nasty things.

I'll give line ahead a try, but I doubt DDs are made for shooting those kind of ships.

>>12354386
Welp. TA crit Suzuya to red on Line Ahead. Will give it another try, but it seems to me like formation change is not removing the TA threat.

>>12354386
DD isn't, that's true, but your CA and CVL are capable of crippling or sinking Ta/Ru/Nu. Mikuma with ~90 FP can crit battleships to orange with a single attack (very rare) and sink/heavily damage them with a double attack (not so rare).

>>12354328
No idea what you are doing wrong.
Just got done with abyss Kaga, she didn't even get pass my first DD.

E3 enemies are mostly yellow. E4 enemies are red/yellow. E5 is mostly red and grey. It feels fucking awesome to see hated Abyss getting crushed so hard that they are sending world 2 leftovers.

>>12354412
But what are we even fighting for?

>>12354411
Did you get sent to B every single time?

>>12354409
But crippling or sinking it only helps if you do it before it shoots.

>>12354422
To conquer the world for grorious empire.

>>12354423
E5?
It is random. Everytime I get sent north, I chalked it up as a lost.

>>12354431
We are talking about E3, I don't know why would you suddenly bring up E5.

>>12354422
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXjaZe3lPF8
Replace Solomon with Midway.

>>12354433
Because that screenshot is E5.
E3 is random. Only H->J has seaplane animation.

>>12354409
And here's my usual result. No green T.
My lovely Kinugasa struck Ru for 110 + 61 damage, but I was too slow (and surprised) to capture it.

>>12354134
>Kisaragi
You make me want to try using my shipfu Mochizuki on this. Problem is, 130 levels don't make up for her still having barely over half of Poi's firepower, I think I'll stick to using her on ASW maps like last event's E-4. I already bound Poi and Shigure to AL anyway when I was testing center route on E-1.

>>12354386
>>12354401
First node on E-2 is just an elite Ta/Ru in ring formation isn't it? If you're really worried you could try using double line for defense, but line ahead to try to kill stuff faster (i.e. before she gets a second attack) would be best.

Running 2-5 with the same composition (though I could use my best ships there) I get past the flagship Ru at least half the time using line ahead all the way.

>>12354411
See this? This is how my yasen starts. This is not fucking normal. Especially since the DDs were dead before the fight started and I brought the biggest guns I have. I could kill spring E5 in fucking daytime.

From the other thread:
>Alright, my Ooyodo just attacked some subs. I believe you need to equip her with a main gun, so no full sonar/depth charge setup.

>>12354464
She is a light cruiser

Is it just me or do Island Bosses completely ignore torpedo stats? My Kiso and CAs without Type 3 can't damage her for shit, even at night.

Anyone else noticed how lackluster node drops are this event? Usually there's a plethora of BB and CL drops, but all I get are kagerous and yuugumos this time.

>>12354451
Maybe I'll try double once just out of curiosity. The TA and Wo enjoys wrecking half my sorties.

Irony has it that even with line abreast I get A rank due to killing all but the Wo and Ta. So they really can't take a beating, but their accuracy is ridiculous.

>>12354468
I can't see straight anymore.

>>12354463
My ships kill her even when they are at orange.
Maybe cause you didnt put on night batol gears?
E3 should be super easy since there is no sub node and no night battle. You are sure to reach there with full health.

>>12354438
>E3 is random
It's not. 12 times to B is not random.

>>12354468
>What is the LOS requirement?
>babby mode
>devs are trolls
>E1 sub crit to red

That's enough to kill an ordinary man.

>>12354468
Not this shit again. After 10something liters my mind blanked and I had nightmares about my CarDivs sinking at MI again and again.
>>12354470
I've yet to get something less then CA/CVL from MI boss nodes, despite working on E5 right now. And I want chuuni yuugumo so much, damn.

>>12354466
Equip her with sonars-only and report back after you fail to attack any subs.

How do you get past the E4 sub node?

>>12354470
No, i get the usual + Tanikazes

>>12354469
BB need Sanshiki to deal much damage, too

>>12354494
First formation. Pray

>>12354469
Nope, just high armor.

>>12353840
How is her luck?

>>12354470
Tons of Kinu, Kiso, Wakaba and Tama. I've only ever seen a Tanikaze in all the boss kills up to E-4.

>>12354470
I was getting Nagara after Nagara.
Good thing Soryuu and Kaga drop a tons as well.
Needed those AA modernization for all my scrubs at AL.

>>12354487
Fast/Slow fleet?

Mine is all fast and it is random for me.

>>12354517
HAHAHA. I suffered a lot in E2, but I hate this map the most.

So if I understand right, you only need two CA(V) for all of MI and none at all for E-6? I just realized I might be saving my Haguro for nothing not using her on AL (since I still have Tone/Chikuma unused).

>>12354401
Ta is even easier.

Today is the first time I've ever killed E-5 boss during fucking day battle. That's hilarious.

>>12354335
It's Noshiro

>>12354527
I used both of them for MI. But now I think I made a mistake. See >>12354303

Is it worth it to remodel Maruyu first before you feed them to your more beloved ships for the increased luck?

>>12354528
Not when RNG hates you. Ta and Wo has stopped 6 of 8 sorties. Line Abreast, Line Ahead, Double Line, TA and WO do not care, they have free crits.

>>12354521
Just use support.
It seems like your ships are just too damedame.

>>12354542
I USE SUPPORT

>>12354539
Yes. I've only ever had five Maruyus and I fed them all remodeled to Haruna K2, she got the maximum 8 luck! Clearly you should be like me

>>12354468
Do you want an essay again?

>>12354517
And the answer is slow. I had said I have a fucking Hotel who can't land a shot.

>>12354470
I've had like 4 Kagas so far. Granted, they're nothing but modernization fodder, but it's welcome. Also, Hamakaze, Naganami, Amatsukaze, and I've seen lots of good drops for other people.

>>12354411
Why double attack on Yukikaze?

>>12354494
4 DDs in your escort fleet has a chance to go south. I have DDs set up for double attack and a sonar on each in case I get sent to the sub node. Usually they just scratch anyway, I've only been stopped at the sub node once anyway when Shigure ate six torpedoes and went into the red (which was why I switched over to double attack/sonar).

>>12354215
Are you trying to torp the boss?

>>12354556
E4 and E5 is no torpedo allowed.
The MI maps are pretty much just 12 vs 1 gangrape on the abyss.

>>12354536
Interesting. Of course the thing is, I'm already saving my two best CVLs for E-6 and using low level ones on AL, so I hopefully wouldn't have to use that strategy.

I guess I might just stick with Maya and Choukai and if Haguro rides the bench the whole event then so be it. Fucking lockout mechanic making me be too conservative with my ship use.

>>12354527
I haven't been to E6 so I can't confirm, but I used Haguro and Myoukou for AL and while they may have been part of the reason it was so easy for me, I sure as hell wish I had them for tearing into the MI bosses. I'm doing okay without them, but I would have a lot more confidence if they were here.

>>12354572
> E5 is no torpedo allowed.
E5 boss is a carrier and can be torpedoed.

Is there slow ship bullying in the MI maps? I want to use my BBVs to make the most of this age of aviation, but I'm worried about compass bullying.

>>12354587
Oh really, I didnt even notice.
Weird how none of them fired a torpedo at her during the torpedo phase.

>>12354604
If they kill everything they target her, and my Kiso shot her once with midget sub.

>>12354566
You can put on sonars on 4 DDs and not get screwed over by LoS?

Could I beat E1 and E2 with a team like this?

>>12354611
5 fucking Saiuns

Holy shit, it's a Tanikaze from E-1 preboss node!
I'm glad I already prepared your room after spending 1k+ buckets pointlessly at last event.
I hope we will be good "friends" from now on.

>>12354540
Add Diamond formation to formations that TA and RU don't really care you are using.

Maybe I should just Echeleon. It can't get worse than it currently is going.

>>12354617
I guess I'll switch out my radars for sonars then since I have 5 Saiuns and 1 Type 2.

14/24/3/6

More like unko am I right?
Even RJ is better than her.

>>12354572
I was about to suggest 3 red gun cut-in but then I figured that Yukikaze could clear any mobs with torp cut-in. I'll probably keep it on her anyway.

>>12354492
I could have sworn I also saw her not fire during the torpedo phase either (no torpedo equipped), but it was only once and I haven't had another opportunity to test it.

>>12354615
>E1 with 2 CA(V) 2 DD 2 CVL
You really don't want to go north route on E-1

>>12354618
What are the boxes for? You can remove them now, you know.

>>12354611
It is random.
I wouldnt put more than 4 Saiun in my fleet.
As long as you have that senplane animation from F->J it means you have sufficient LoS.

So Unicorn isn't just a /jp/ thing?

>>12354653
I heard north route was easier, I don't have the night scout plane.

>>12354646
That's because her torpedo stat is 0 before any modernization. Not even equipping torpedo and increasing the stat this way will make her shoot a torpedo. You have to modernize first. Tried it like 10 hours ago.

>>12354662
Remember when people doubted wo and laughed at the suggestion that 50k is enough.

They should have binged on LSC instead of panicking.

>>12354658
She has to lean on something you know, I thought about the school desks first but she doesn't deserve that.

>>12354662
That's nothing fuck off.

>>12354658
Not that guy, but I actually kinda like the boxes. I didn't really want to replace them with a proper desk (I usually use a kotatsu anyway), there's just something about them that felt right.

>>12354084
They are easy, but annoying as hell.
MI consumes resources but it's fucking fun.

>>12354607
Speaking about CLTs, they are the best escort ever. They can torpedo 2 trash to at least red, and escort fleet seems to have nearly 100% torpedo accuracy with mad evasion.

>>12354679
Could you point me to where I said it was?

>>12354686
Yep, so glad I have 6 CLTS.

>>12354618
You should use her damaged form for the screenshot.

>>12354687
It's a requirement for blog posting. If you want to brag, post on the wiki where your fellow south american countrymen will give you your desired attention.

>>12354698
Are you angry?

>>12354692
Can you use 3CLT 1CL 2DD as escort?

>>12354702
He does seem angry.

>>12354694
I have to clear E-1 first, don't worry, the night is long.

>>12354708
I did for e3/e5
Used 2 for AL too.

>>12354708
Yep.
The hard requirement is CL and DD.

>>12354692
I ate them due to lack of space. They could have been handy man.

Neither wiki has target numbers for LOS on E3. What number am I aiming for?

>>12354715
>hard requirement is CL and DD.
Not really.

>>12354729
4 Saiuns+radar/observation planes on 2BB is enough for all MI operations.

>>12354733
Who the fuck has high level CLs other than isuzu and yuubari? The class is trash.

>>12354733
If you removed your CL or DD, your combined fleet get broken up automatically.

>>12354740
I raised my nkc48 a lot.

>>12354740
>Isuzu

pls

Everyone should've levelled up their bobs by now, right? Right?

>>12354741
He's saying that having DD or CL isn't an issue, not that it's not there.

>>12354739
Neat. Well, at least the hard part is over. I get to chake id eajy now.

>>12354750
No I can't handle bob's atrocious art instant scrap.

>>12354750
Bob ship is kind of useless in MI.
Yuubari take care of everything.

>>12354715
RIP.
I'm in the process of leveling up second a second ayanami, shigure and beaver right now.

>>12354740
Jintsuu is the greatest CL, followed by Naka-chan.

>>12354740
>class is trash.
Not really.

>>12354740
You're cute.

>>12354753
I am saying escort can be anything after the DD/CL requirement.
You can fill the wildcard spot with tons of crap. I even tried it with a BBV to see if LoS did anything.
My conclusion is LoS do nothing and it is random after a certain amount.. 4saiun+2recon plane is all your need, anything extra does nothing.

>>12354763
Naka chang da- clang clang clang.

>>12354776
>HQ98
>no BBs above 60

nigga wat r u doin

>>12354776
>thinking your worthless opinion matters with a level 60 on page one.

I'm quoting you if anyone asks.

>>12354740
I have a CL at level 70 that got raised from 30 to 70 from nothing but doing expeditions over and over again. Not even in flagship position.
How do you not have at least 3 expedition CL?

>>12354778
But the CL/DD requirement itself isn't hard. Not to mention that we were warned beforehand about having a large, diverse fleet.

>>12354775
Yeah, sorry. Forgot that you need them for expeditions.

>>12354789
I think it's the crazy guy who started in May.

>>12354802
I just scrapped them today for all the new yuugumos and kagerous.

>>12354802
I have 3 yuubari.

Is anyone putting 3 red guns on Yukikaze if they're using her in E3 and E4?

>>12354797
Of course. I'm くそTTK after all.
>>12354806
That's me all right.

>>12354822
E2 or E4*, sorry.

>>12354822
Please dont bully the abyss, it is overkill.

>>12354451
MI needs every DD you can spare, so you can certainly bring her there. Besides, you'd be surprised how fast Mutsuki-class can stack up scratch damage against bosses.

This event encourages using pretty much every ship in your arsenal, so there's no better place for your old guard to make their comeback. I'm really enjoying how my old event team is split evenly across the maps (Yamashiro, Kako and Kisaragi on AL, Kongo, Kirishima, Kiso and Sendai on MI, Fuso and Kitakami on Doolittle) and how they're kicking ass and taking names on every front (except E6, that remains to be seen).

>>12354668
For some reason. RX-0, Mobile Armor, MAD-NUG and the last minute of Gundam are all objectively better.

Any sortie drop a lot of CLs? I need a bunch of level 1s, been at 1-1 for an hour and only dropped one.

>>12354863
You flash farming E5 with lvl1 CL?

>>12354861
I hadn't touched my starter, Inazuma, in months, but decided to use her in AL. It was nice reconnecting with an old friend, I was so proud of her for wrecking Loli Hime. Hawawawa!

>>12354871
Yea. I was the one who posted it earlier.

>>12354739
For low level maybe, I use 6 saiuns 4 radar/observation. My 2nd fleet also has 6 float planes and all my DDs has radar.

>>12354872
Akatsuki's suck.

Why am I even raising this Amatsukaze for equipment I never use in the first place.

>>12354883
I'm sure the age of turbines will come eventually.

>>12354879
I'm level 107 and only had to use 4 saiuns.

>>12354883
Future-proofing.

>>12354872
Not him, but I messed up at MI by tagging my two best DDs as AL.

Ended up having to use Fubukini as an emergency measure, I too was very happy to hear her again, her heavily damaged repair line makes my heart skip a beat, and she preformed better than my poi, too.

>>12354889
I'm 115 so yeah...

>>12354883
You never know when the devs will finally make turbines change fast ships to slow like they mentioned.

>>12354888
Next Event's bullshit mechanic is Evasion-based branching mechanics. Calling it now.

Anyone else with shit drops so far?
No Akashi, no Amatsukaze, no new Yuugumos, No Zunship.

>>12354900
reporting in, already cleared e5.

I think my game cheats.

E2 boss, Line Ahead, Green T, all shots misses or scratch damage.

>>12354900
Yep. Just completed E3 yesterday night, nothing except Noshiro back in E2

>>12354900
I can't complain too bad, but what I really want is a whale. Though I suppose if I don't get her, that will still be something to do after the event is over.

>>12354900
I've been farming E-4 for 5 hours already after finishing E5 and still no chuuni Yuugumo in sight. Got 2 Zunships though.

>>12354916
So you're complaining that you didn't get one of the worst destroyers in game, but got 2 zunships?

>>12354898
>change fast ships to slow
This would be amusing, but pointless.

>>12354898
You mean slow to fast, right?

>>12354899
And the next bullshit mechanic will be ASW-based branching mechanics?

>>12354900
Didn't get a single new or useful ship from drops.

>>12354921
I'd gladly trade them for Hayashimo any day. She's criminally cute.

>>12354900
Only got a series of Makigumos and I can't be happier with them. I had been grinding 2-3 like a man possessed for her, only to be flooded by Hiryu.

This is like the Spring event and its Ooi drop (my first in over seven months of play) all over again.

>>12354926
I got myself Makigumo and Kumano, so I'm happy.

>>12354922
inb4 slow ships have higher evasion because the enemy fleet predicts your movement wrong

What's the most popular voodoo magic japs use to start E5 with B node?

>>12354944
Praying to your Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

>>12354928
>>12354916
Speaking of Yuugumos anyone drop the granny?

>>12354944
You sacrifice your starter, hotel and ringbearer to Wo.

>>12354946
> Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Not Kira Yamato? Strange.

>>12354944
Buy more Kancolle merchandise.

>>12354951
Please, that Jesus fell off the ranking for best male last month. He's not even in the top 5. He's not worthy of your prayers.

>>12354952
Is it bad that I'm disappointed you didn't end that with goy? I've been spending too much time crossboarding to /vg/ for fighting threads.

E3 A doesn't ever send me the fun way with one less extra battle.

>>12354958
Who's the new hotness? Shiba Tatsuya?

>>12354966
Him and Kirito.

>>12354950
>ringbearer
Is the admiral the Great Eye of Yokosuka? Will he be destroyed if someone throws his ring into the Mariana trench?

That explains the multiple-marriage thing, at least. It's not actually marriage, you're making the girls into your ringwraiths.

Hey, just a quick suggestion if Yuubari is around.

Do you think you can make it so that if a fleet is fully sparkled that the status icon is gold instead of green?

>>12354966
>I lost all of what you could call feelings of love. They weren't sealed, so they can't be released. They weren't broken, so they can't be fixed. That which is lost, cannot be recovered.
I googled this Tatsuya lad, and evidently he can say this with a completely straight face, without breaking into laughter. No wonder he's heading the faggot list.

>>12354947
Talking about Kiyoshimo? I just got from E-2 boss on the S rank. Dat Hisako Kanemoto.

>>12354947
If by "granny" you mean Makigumo, just dropped on E-2 pre-boss node.

>>12354987
Fuck I want her terribly but...
>E-2.

No thank you!

>>12354969
Huh, it worked. Guess I'll pray to our nuclear overlord then.
>>12354982
You just don't understand cool things, mate.

So I'm finally starting MI

How much AP should I bring if I'm a lvl 99 TTK?

>>12355001
I'm not your mate, Dave.

>>12354995
Nips say they're getting her from E-3 too.

>>12355006
Jim?..

>>12354995
I've gotten 2 off E-3 S Boss.

Finally i don't have to grind 3-3, 3-4, or 4-2 anymore!
Hiryuu drops on E4 boss.

>>12355002
300, probably 400 for E3.

>>12355002
8 reppus in biggest slots, 4 saiuin, 4 recon seaplanes is a must.

Well, E-1 wasn't as bad as it looked like it could be. HQ lvl 103, took me 15 attempts south route with this fleet, after 4 attempts center route. Ring, echelon, line ahead, line ahead. 5 out of 9 failures were Junyou getting critted by yasen Ru, only got hit to red by sub once (Ise during green T).

>>12354861
>>12354872
I was thinking about using other DDs on AL or something, but I have enough super DDs to go around. Bound Poi and Shigure to AL (along with Bep and Amatsukaze for testing center route on E1), but still have Beaver, Seal, and Ayanami for MI. Shimakaze is outleveled by lots of DDs so I guess I could replace her if I really wanted.

Actually now that I think about it, I could use Shimakaze and Z1 for my support expedition fleet; due to their higher fuel usage and rounding effects you only have to refuel every 5 expeditions instead of 4.

This is a joke right?

>>12355024
Are you not satisfied with the best-looking CV?

>>12355028
>CV.
That's why I am not satisfied, my CVLS have more slots.

>>12355033
Who cares about stats? Cuteness is all that matters.

>>12355045
She's not cute either, she's pretty but not cute, she sounds manly to boot.

>>12355002
I cleared it with this. Just replaced the ryuusei on souryuu with a saiun

Ooyodo's massive plane hanger makes it looks like she's carrying around a fucking desk on her back.

>>12355024

look forwad to her remodel planes

>>12355033
which one?

>>12355024
I called it long ago, she'll be even weaker than the dragons since they're basically worse off versions of Hiryuu.

The only good thing about them is their equipment.

>>12355047
She's cute in the same way that Chitose is cute.

It's mature lady moe.

>>12355056
Check the wiki.
>>12355055
They're worse than the dragon sisters' ones.
Hopefully this 5-2 quest has reppu kai.

>>12355059
And her fucking tits.

Well fuck me sideways, this actually works. 3 runs starting with B node. Glory be to our Lord and Savior, Shiba Tatsuya.

Going to be streaming fresh start of the event for anyone looking for something to watch while doing their own run.

Gonna have various concerts and shit on at the same time for something to do while waiting for fatigue.

>>12355070
>showing a 4chan thread on your stream.
Stop.

>>12355070
I think as you are not a partner they restrict your bitrate, try lowering it by 1000 because it's stuttering a lot even for my 150mb/s download.

>20 fucking tries over a time period of 5 hours
>Not a single run ends at the boss node.

I really just want to punch my screen everytime they got turned back due to bullshit crits.

>>12355086
Hm, alright. Was having some issues with screen tearing so I tried turning off Aero. Suppose that could be the root of the problem.

>>12355087
Which map?

>>12355093
Get a better computer.

No issues with shit-tier Canadian internet.

>>12355099

E-2

>>12355104
Try route support if you aren't.

New release: 3.2.0r3.
New feature from upstream: formula selection for LoS calculations.

E2 Complete, TTK 99 south route easymode; 10 runs.
No drop I didn't already have, but I'll be back for my pyon later.

>>12355113
Nice.

>>12355109

I did.

Even with sparkle support, one of my CVLs will be red during the pre-boss node.

I'm just too exhausted to even continue now.

>>12355102
I'm the streamer, asking if the framerate improved. Tried these settings a few nights ago and was told it looked okay, but if it really is still lagging I could try lower the bitrate and encoding settings.

>>12355113
Has the sortie/damaged window colour thing been fixed?

It's kind of annoying seeing the orange whenever I'm on sortie, used it meaning something is heavily damaged.

Thanks anyway, take your time with the event.

>>12355113
Did you read my earlier suggestion? Is it possible for you to do or ask graabacr to do?

>>12355127
No, it hasn't yet. I'll probably look into it later, too much irl stuff to take care of at the moment.

>>12355129
I apologise but I do not believe I read it. Could you kindly re-post it?

I just realised my DMM account name is complete gibberish, do they just auto generate a username for you?

>>12355136
Sure, I was wondering if it's possible to implement a function where if your entire fleet is above 50 fatigue that the fleet's icon would turn gold.

>>12355137
They generate an 'ID' for you, which is different from the 'nickname' you enter.

Do it for her, /jp/. It's not about winning, it's about rescuing these cuties from the enemy.

>>12355061
>Check the wiki.

Are you retarded?

>>12355146
Nigga what the fuck do you think I'm doing?

>>12355146
I want to rescue the enemy.
What now?

>>12355139
It should be possible; I'll add it to my to-do list.

>>12355147
No but you are.

>>12355147
He is.

Can't be helped.

>>12355160
Much appreciated!

>>12355146
Is it wrong that I want her to piss on my fingers after writing "Great CV, equal to Enterprise" on them?

Anyone are tried E-6 here? Hiryuu or Kaga, guys ? Other spot is Taihou and i'm going with fast fleet

Thank fucking god it's over, spent 90k fuel/ammo and about 500 buckets on E6 alone.
And all that for 3 Maruyus and a lousy DD.

Equips:
KTKM: double quints/midget sub
Yamato/Musashi: 46cm x2, 32T, seaplane
Nagato: 46cm x2, sanshiki, night plane
Zuihou: Reppu, Saiun x2, damecon
RJ: Reppu, Reppu kai, Saiun, damecon

AL should be renamed to Node A. Because majority of the time that is the only thing I get to play.

>>12355146
>China style
>fluffy hair
>big tits

good!

>>12355175
Isokaze is one of the best new DD from this event

>>12355168
Try the CVL route, sub node in event map do not costs ammo, and getting to the boss without ammo penalty helps a lot. See,>>12355175 this guy did it with CVL.

>>12355175
>Nagato: 46cm x2, sanshiki, night plane
>sanshiki
For what purpose? Why not an AP round?

>>12355175
Do you sparkle your fleet?

And why sanshiki on Nagato? Reducing crits from Carrier Princess?

>>12355185
ACEHJ?
From the wiki A->C is still random though. Am I missing something?

>>12355175
>500 buckets
Isn't that like, 100 sorties? Was it that hard to sink the boss or were you turned away before her all the time?

E2 Complete, I'm proud of you girls. Consumed a lot of ammo due to support fleet which helped offset the lack of levels.

Is MI really fun like you guys say?
I'll try tomorrow.

>>12355185

Can you still get that route with 1 CVL and 1 CV? My only CVLs left are RJ and Hiyou.

>>12355199
I'm surprised it didn't take longer, but then I'm basing my experience on that Mizuki Nana fan's RTA.

>>12355187

I started using sanshiki after Nagato was constantly useless on night battle, no matter what I gave her she wouldn't do more than 10-30 damage to BB hime, so might as well have her shoot down planes on hime carrier node.
You basically are hoping KTKM cutins and one of your Yamato hits her and crits.
Only sparkled KTKM and support leader.

Pretty much both, you really need the RNG on your side to not get raped before boss and then having them shoot at the right BB hime.

MI is a raiding party with your fleets beating the shit out of anything standing on their way to the boss nodes.
Compass can be dickish at times though.

Hey. Is there a reason why you removed the stats showing on hover in the fleet section? It was the quickest way to find out which planes gave which stats

>>12355050
How in the everliving fuck did you have enough los with that? What's your ttk level?

>>12355206
Must feel good to have luck. I've only seen the boss twice in 15 attempts.

>>12355231
That's still lucky.

97.
It worked, so I didn't worry too much about it. Clearing E-4 with it now.

Whoever posted this in the last thread, i want to say thank you , really helped me, ttk lvl99, i just added an addtional bomber on the cav and thats it, wondering, what are you using for e-2

>>12355231
E2 easier than E1, everyone was saying yesterday. Ha.

I'm not even suffering my lvl 3x CVLs getting hit to red yet, my 84 Choukai is the one sending me back.
