How on Earth do you get Kitakami to the boss node in one piece?

Every run, no matter what formation I take, the following happens:
1. Flag Ta/ Flag Nu sends her to yellow/orange/red in the first fight
2. CV Hime one-shots her the opening air bombing
3. CV Hime one-shots her during shelling phase

Heh. Since you made my mood a bit less shit, I'll give you a bit of friendly advice instead of mindless shitposting.
1. As >>12367391 said, you cant set your self-insert name and fleet names via KCV/API link. You can't buy items from the shop too. Gotta visit dmm.com for any of these.
2. Use this http://pastebin.com/wF2V748S method to forge a cookie. dmm.com will recognize you a Japanese visitor. No need to use any VPNs or other shit.
3. Read basic sections on wikia, lots of useful info there. Wikia is okay, as long as you're not looking for in-depth info on new events, mechanics or drop tables. Their fanbase (due to lack of better word) is atrocious, too.
4. If anything, ever goes wrong - clear your cache.
5. If you're going to use an API link, grab a new one at least once per month.

How do I make my carriers hit something on E-6? My current comp is a Fast BB, a CA, a CL, Taihou, CVl and CV and though I know it will allways reach the boss, it's frustrating when my whole air wing fails 3 out of 4 times to hit anything and later that enemy crits one of my ships. Fuck Nu, Ta and Ru.

10 hours, 29k fuel and a shitload of steel later I got:
-5 kills
-1 mid damage
-1 small damage
and some scratch damage too.
I'm running the normal node support all the time too and I think it helps.

How much ELOS is needed for HQ100+ E-6? I'm thinking of running CLT CLT CA CA CV CVL
because I don't have two CVs to spare anymore, used up the other 7. Only Taihou remains out of the 8 CVs I have.
Also messed up with my CVL management, only one highlevel fast CVL remains. I do have a 81 Junyou, too, but not sure if slow CVL works.

Alternatively, 2 CLT, SS, CA, CA, CV would be great for triple opening strike. this could potentially solve the node 1 taiha for sub issue but likely not enough ELOS unless I gamble on yasen node and put only a reppu kai and reppu on taihou.

I know damage in aerial support is spread out. This would mean that it's good for clearing fodder DDs, right? And more enemy ships in the fleets on the way to the boss would be more likely to be hit to orange, making them deal less damage to your ships? Or am I seeing this wrongly?

I don't know about this but my impression of aerial support is everybody gets hit but it's shit, whereas support shelling means some get hit and it's serious damage (or at least it should be). The latter can be more useful than the former if aerial support can't even wipe out DDs.

Alright, so I'm about to tackle MI and I need to decide whether I'll be using 1CLT3BB2CVL, 2CA2CLT2CV, 1CLT2BB3CV, 3BB1CV2CVL or any other bizarre magic composition on E6. I can only do one of these due to limits on available CVs/CVLs.

Which one should I shoot for? I heard that 1CLT3BB2CVL is ineffective and consumes unholy amounts of damecon, but it's still the most popular method and I'd be fucked if I commit my CVLs to AL and the magic compositions don't pan out well. Can anyone with personal experience with setups like >>12367030 speak up?

Or should I just try to do MI with unremodeled CVs? They are unlikely to get hit, anyway, and they will probably reach remodel level in E3.

Its not funny to see DDs hit for 40-50 damage during day battle then scratch damage and miss during night battle.

Then one of the CAs with sanshiki decides to deal scratch damage too because why deal damage?
The other CA usually picked up the slack or both cooperated to kill it though.

I'd add
- Retreat on the first node due to critical damage five times in a row!
- Retreat on the preboss node due to critical damage five times on a row!
- Fail the LOS check multiple times
- Get sent to dead nodes instead of the boss 20 times
- Have more than half of your fleet go from green to red in a day battle node (Must have full fleet)
- Have more than half of your fleet go from green to red in a night battle node (Must have full fleet)
- Fail to get supremacy with double the FP needed to get it

- Fail at LSC X times total.

Decided to blew my last buckets, I still have 113 now in case devs pull a fast one and add Yahagi to E6, and still above cap in everything but steel. Going A or B is pure random. Whoever's still doing E5, prey our Lord and Saviour, or whatever voodoo magick you believe in, since I tried a lot of retarded shit from wikiwiki reports while I'm at it.

On a semi-related note, whenever you go south while grinding I advise to continue till the boss node. Sub nodes take at least about the same time to complete battle animation in best case scenarios, usually they take 30 or so more seconds. Marginally increased resource consumption is worth the trouble for increased EXP per sanity per hour rate.

Five maps - 2 standard operations, 2 so-called "extra operations", 1 final operation. First two will be as hard as Spring 2014 E-1, E-2. Next two - like current E-1 and E-2. Final operation will be linear, with the exception of a dead end/boss node branching before the boss: 2x BB, 2x CL, 1x CV, 1x CVL on the first node, line ahead submarine node and finally the boss node (LOS check requiring 4x Saiun, some seaplanes and a drum because why not) with new boss, BB hime, new Wo, 2 new destroyers and a gold sub. Line ahead formation, AA guns deal additional damage to the boss, but only during the day battle.

You're entitled to your opinion; though I'd imagine it'd be far more difficult to clear stuff like Ironbottom Sound E-5 / Spring 2014 E-5 / AL/MI E-6 without sparkling. Sure, it's possible, but I really think you'll spend less resources (and therefore, less time) sparkling your fleet than not doing so. Sparkling doesn't guarantee that you'll see success with each sortie, but it'll make it more likely that you'll reach the boss node more safely.

Sparkling 6 ships to 85 takes too fucking long considering they go away in just a few sorties. I do sparkle support expedition flagship since that's worth the time, but that's it.

I didn't sparkle spring E-5 at all, though Yamato was perma-sparkled just from hogging MVPs while Nagato and Mutsu sometimes gained them in flagship position. Still got past Hime node about 2/3 of the time just using line aboob resulting in her either missing or "one-shotting" someone to orange HP. It was seriously easier than the bullshit E-2 threw at me this event, though it obviously consumed way more steel.

I was looking back in the archive for information about combined fleet formations; are people trying to troll the fuck out of me saying top right is the way to go for the boss and their DDs wreck everything? I've tried it twice on E-4 (once on preboss, once on boss) and it didn't do shit.

On preboss my second fleet did nothing but whiff, get critted by Ta and their DD torpedoes, then 1st fleet gets critted twice by Ta. Next time I did bottom right and got flawless S as my second fleet sank all the escorts then torpedoed Ta.

Bottom right worked just fine for all E-3 boss kills and my first few E-4 kills (including one daytime kill on E-4). Tested top right this last time and again my second fleet did nothing but whiff, then do chip damage in yasen (including one of my sanshiki'd CA hits, fortunately the second critted).

The only "advice" I have left to test is using top right for subs instead of the ASW formation and just trying to evade instead of disabling them. I look forward to seeing just how horribly that works out.

I dont know about you but I am going with line ahead at E6. From my own experience, it seems to actually decreases the chance of eating a crit and ktkm always taking out 1ship right at the start.
Ring works too since when you see the flagship protection ability proc, it seems to always halve the damage taken.

Also the DDs can chip away the boss HP first to get her within a single CA double attack (important if one of your CAs gets critted). Personally I put one of my CAs in the second slot so she attacks before the enemy BB at first and preboss nodes in second shelling phases; the other CA went after both DDs.

>>12369372
I don't have any statistics, and it's really hard to tell with my own fleet; but it sure as hell feels like enemy double line fleets are way tougher to kill. Paired flagship Ri in double line are really annoying, and fuck double line boss fleets. Thankfully we don't get those very often anymore.

Line abreast is a good idea if you're fighting something unkillable like Senkan Hime, that was what worked for me at spring E-5. But everything on E-2 you can try to kill before it kills you; second node especially you don't want to be eating a bunch of torpedoes because you didn't kill anything.

I'm starting to think line ahead might be better for the CV hime node because
1). Formation seems to affect the firepower/accuracy of your support fleet as well
and
2). Even if you're forced to retreat, you'll still probably walk away with a A/B victory.

I've lost around 70 battles since starting this map. So many C/D rank defeats on the sub node and the CV node.

Thankfully my win rate is still at 99%, but watching my battles loss number shoot up by 30% in the span of 2 days is not fun.

I don't get why people calling her Kaga and Not!Kaga whatsoever which sounds so stupid.

It's obvious that she is USN CV Yorktown who appears at E-3. According to the history of the Battle of Midway, the IJN was expecting that there will be no Aircraft Carriers stationed in Midway Atoll, led by Nagumo who is in command of the Task Force comprised by Kaga, Souryuu, Akagi and Hiryuu.

E-3 happened where Nagumo's Task Force begins launching planes to bomb Midway but they didn't know that Frank J. Fletcher who is in command already anticipated the invasion, he ordered his 3 CVs including Yorktown to wait and ambush from northeast afar wherein they won't be spotted by Nagumo's CVs coming from northwest of Midway. Fletcher decided to launch his planes stationed at Midway Island to directly ambush the vulnerable CVs while the planes of IJN are occupied bombing Midway's installations.

A scout plane from Tone reported that they spotted 3 USN Aircraft Carriers, Nagumo didn't understand on why the USN CVs arrives too early, they were expecting them to arrive tomorrow after the bombing.

So, that's the reason why E-3 has to skip Abyss Midway Island node and proceed sinking Abyss Yorktown found at NE of Midway node.

E-5 depicts the final confrontation against Yorktown, in which the crew of Hiryuu thought that she is another Aircraft Carrier since they assumed Yorktown was already been badly damaged and sunk, it parallels to the reason why Aircraft Carrier Princess has damaged CG.

I think the comp you picked for AL is probably just fine for both E1 and E2. Although you might wanna replace the BBs with DDs during E2 to go southern route. Just go grind a little bit to Kai and modernize your ships. It's especially easy to do with CV/Ls since you can flag MVP for 1k+ exp almost every time at 3-2a and you almost never have to swap them out.

You've still got more than 2 weeks left in the event so take your time. I'm currently grinding CAs and CVLs for E6 because I used all my best girls in MI thinking it was going to be hard.

I can only spare 2 CV for E6.

My plan is to clear the weak mobs first (together with shelling support) before focusing on the stronger ships in the shelling phase. With any luck, when shelling phase starts I'll only have the carrier hime left alive at the preboss node, or just the BB hime left at the boss node (or 2 for final kill; hopefully I can sink one by day battle).

If I use 2 CAs, they will be Myoukou and Haguro, with Myoukou carrying 2 reds 1 recon 1 torp, and Haguro carrying 2 reds 1 recon 1 searchlight. With one of said recons being the night recon plane.

Depends. 2DD2CA2CVL get you into 3 battles before boss.

2BBV4DD gets you into 2 only. But you need 6 zuiuns and 2 radars, or 8 zuiuns.

I recommend 2BBV4DD, seems it is a lot more flexible and easier to reach boss. By flexible I mean you can put in 2 cannon fodder DDs. You can still proceed when those DDs are in red. You can wreck the boss if you have 46cm equip on the BBVs. I cleared E-1 mostly using this strategy.

So, the general consensus on the E6 fleets is:

1. 2CA2CLT2CVL. Low cost, all-day battle route, higher chance of avoiding princess because she gets only one round of shelling. Highest damage output, but must survive day battle.
2. 2CA2BB1CLT1CV. Can get to night battle node, but is good at night battle anyway. Barely gets superiority at boss node, but that's enough for double attacks. Second-highest potential damage output. Durable.
3. 3BB3CV/2BB1CLT3CV. Can go both routes. Durable, will frequently get to boss. Trivializes aerial engagement, but you better be sitting on a mountain of steel.
4. 3BB1SS1CLT1CV. Cheesing route. Dangerous, but cheap. Good with day support. Uses damage controls.
5. 3BB1CLT2CVL. The formation for you if you shit gold and can buy fifty repair teams. There's this one guy who used 17 goddesses using this composition. He's also a moron from the forums, but still, you've been warned.

Anything else I'm missing?

For normal gauge chipping I highly recommend 2CVL+4. You can add 1more CV if you really want superiority at hime node and this will allow you to put an attack plane on the carrier so they can all attack.

You should try this. Maybe even 1BB 1CLT 2CV 2CVL
First node would be trivial for you.
You would be able to get >285 easily for superiority at the 2nd node. With air torpedo and ktkm torpedo and your BB first strike they shouldn't be anything aiming for you except for the carrier.

You don't need more saiun if you can already reach the boss. I don't know for your TTK level but for me as a level 98 I equip greens for about 360 air power (that's about 6 reppuus on my best carrier slots) blues and reds on the rest.

Line Ahead in E-2 made me abort 12 of 37 attempts. Line Abreast 9 of 37. Additionally I reached boss 2 times with Line Ahead and 5 times with Line Abreast.

At the end of the day it is all just about if the big enemies roll a crit or not, and if there was a "lowers crit damage" formation, it would be best.

For the sake of making it clearer. I started counting how much health both fleets had but near the end I realized that the main fleet was the important factor. I kept my ships allways a bit below orange and south route happened naturally until the theshold, which starts at somewhere around 330, kept getting lower and lower. My last 2 runs I had to do then on the Yasen node because even bringing 2 DDs and 3 carriers on nearly orange and a BB on orange it was too much health. the last time I coud go south route, my main fleet had a total heealth of 266.

That's really weird, that's the formation I used every time; your results sound more like what happened to me when I tried upper right one time on E-4. On E-3 my second fleet did plenty of missing with shelling, but torpedoes would sink some stuff, then my BBs and CVs in first fleet would wreck all the escorts (unless they targeted the boss too much). Then Haguro and Kumano would double attack crit the boss in yasen.

I can't get past that last kill on E-6 no matter what. Before I sortie, I sparkle each of my shipfus. I give them a pep talk. Ok, Chitose. You can do this. You will not get crit to red this run. Believe in yourself. You are a ninja. You will dodge every single fucking shell that comes your way.

After that, I fap to the doujins of each of my shipfus. Especially Kitakami-sama. And I don't do it every day, I do it every hour. She has left my balls drained.

Before I supply my fleet, I pray to Ooi to channel her lesbian powers to KTKM who will hopefully cut-in the boss. Lots of times, it doesn't work. Then I remember I forgot to offer my blood and firstborn to RNG God.

My Asian Studies teacher has a Kamidana at his home. Yesterday I found an excuse to go there and as he made tea for the other students, I snuck into the Kamidana room and prayed. I left $10 and an apple for RNG God.

Tomorrow, I plan to head to the beach. I live on the west coast, so I'm going to kneel in the sand, or seiza, and bow towards the rising sun.

Lastly, I pray for my safety from mindbreak and insanity. I'm bound to snap playing this game one day. I pray for your safety as well, fellow TTKs.

I was piling on excess LoS on E-4 yesterday hoping to avoid random compass trolling, but today dropped my 5th Saiun to equip Ooyodo's special equipment. Very first run I get sent to G node. Goddammit, now I don't know if it was just random bullshit or if it happened because I dropped that Saiun.

If you don't have the saiuns for LoS, you'll have to make it up with more recon planes and radars.

Alternatively, if your RJ and Souryuu are close to or already at their k2 remodels, they come with a type 2 recon plane each. It's not as good as saiun for LoS, but it should be close enough for most of MI.

Using 4CV 2BB with Saiun on each CV, yamato plane + radar on each BB (T32 and T33). Escort fleet of CL, 4DD, CA; yamato plane on Haguro, yamato plane + yasen plane on Ooyodo.

I replaced Shimakaze's sonar with another T33 and didn't get sent to G next time, but it still could have been random bullshit like E-3 preboss.

>>12372798
Looking at the wiki, the enemy fleets really aren't very nerfed for sub-100 TTK. If they lack Reppuu and an adequate number of leveled ships they're going to have a hard time like that guy a little ways up the thread.

While checking E-3 again I finally see why I was getting different boss fleets than were listed last night; the flagship Ta before final fight was only for 105+, I was getting an elite at 103 (which is now properly updated). So for once I'm actually not in the top tier of the level scaling. And looks like I'll get an easier E-5 too, thank god.

The misses after it was at 2 HP probably would have been chip damage hits if they had come before the crit, but they show as misses because its HP is too low to chip.

In other words your last two ships to attack didn't have enough damage, make sure your best ASW is last so they can go last in second shelling phase. 1-5 boss can be pretty tough if you get 反航戦 thanks to the low ammo penalty if you don't have awesome ASW.

For E-2, I stuck with 2DDs the whole time. You want to use the best you can spare. If you're saving at least three good ones for MI, then use whatever your next best two are.

The hardest part was just surviving to the boss node, but once they got there, the boss wasn't too bad. Some claim sparkling or support expeditions help, but I didn't use either.

As for formations, I used double line > line ahead > double line > line ahead. Some people use echelon for the night node, but that's never worked for me for some reason.

You have to go through 2night battle with tons heavy cruiser cut-in. Lets say you got through the 2node, you have like ~25% to go off course.
Now for the bullshit.
The boss has 500HP and is weak to sanshiki like E2. But there is a catch, the battle start in reverse. You get night battle first with all the escort alive. Your ship has a low chance to target her outright. Sometimes you dont even get day battle(she can run) so your support fleet is not even useful.

I think i'm doing something wrong formationwise for E-2.

My comp is 2 CA, 2 CVL, 2 DD. I use double line, line ahead, double line, (have not made it to boss node yet). I keep getting ships redded on any of the nodes, is this supposed to be normal or is there a better formation to deploy in?

2BBV4DD with 2 fodder DD can take you to boss node. But it is still 3 nodes before the boss node just like southern node. I wouldn't recommend it since:

1. Your none fodder DDs would likely to go red more so than in E1, since there is an extra battle for them to go through.
2. You won't have enough fire power to finish off the boss with this fleet set up.

Being a kuso TTK may be added as another reason, but I won't just other people since I have already sunken many ships in E1 (RIP Kisaragi Kai).

I never got why no Nagato club was a thing to begin with. Fast BBs have always been a better option for me. Except spring E5 but I had Mutsu anyway. Started at level 1, finished at 27. She's 30 now.

Even if I had a Nagato, the most I'd do is get her to Kai level and Kai her and that's it.
