/gsg/ invasion?

AL

>>12374871
and MI

>>12374877
No E-6? Pyon, you disappoint me. Murasame was better.

>>12374871
>>12374877
What's it say?

>>12374877

I am currently starting E3. I don't have enough CV, can I replace them with CVL? Also can I replace CAV with regular CA? Sorry I kinda have a small fleet here. TTK70+

>>12374892
>regular CA
Yes.
Not sure about the CVL thing though.

>>12374869
fffuck jap
corea stronk

It's 11 times already that I F5'd my way out of E5 northern route.
Damn, this is RNG heavy. She doesn't want togiveme a freacking South route.

>>12374895
Cool tentacle but wrong board, dude.

CLT TOO STRONK
PLEASE NERF

>>12374899
They are, when she actually targets the right one. FUCK.

>>12374899

Your mindset is wrong. You should think of buffing everyone else in a different way.

Nerfing is what kills a game, any game.

>>12374903
Powercreep also kills the game.

The only thing I want them to buff now is fighter power. I want CVs that can destroy enemy with bombers, not reppu mule to make sure I won't get my ass kicked by enemy double attack and shits.

>>12374911
Reppuu

>>12374892
Dont worry about it, you have plenty of time to farm up CV and CA to finish E5.
No need to rush, try to stock up more resources.

>>12374917

CV is suprisingly hard to farm in this game because of their quantity. I only have 1st CarDiv and Soryuu. I tried to craft a Hiryuu with aircraft carrier recipe. Nothing came out after 70+ attempts.

I have a lot of CA, which I didn't level up. Oh wait, I do have a level 10 Mogami. I think I will put her into MI instead of base defense.

>>12374930
>Nothing came out after 70+ attempts.
Which is why you actually do LSC.
BB and CV crafting with normal recipe is not worth it.

>>12374930
Souryuu*

>>12374931

I got Mutsu from normal construction before, and got nothing of value from LSC instead.

>>12374932
I feel Soorrrryyy that I didn't write it out correctly.

Bob Ross soothes your soul. Protects you from the evil Yorktown.

Bets what's gonna be the event completion %?

>>12374931
>>12374942

So I just tempted by you to do LSC and got this. Both using minimum amount of resources and 1 devkit.

>>12374973
Should've just farmed E-3 like the rest of us

>>12374976

I haven't started. My second fleet was on 15 hours expedition and there is 4 hours left for them to return. I haven't got Agano and Nagato anyway. It could be better, or could be worse.

>>12374976
Not him but I use more buckets than I gain from expeditions.
I should have stocked up more.

>>12374983
Why do you send 15 hours expeditions during an event?

>>12374989

Well, I didn't expect to finish final form E2 boss with just 2 runs.

Shireeeeeeee! SHIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Sorry, I prefer this.
http://www51.atpages.jp/kancollev/kcplayer.php?f=0&c=325v29

>>12375014

My original plan was to use LSC to get enough CV for me to go E3. I don't have enough CV to go as of now.

>>12375008
Kiyoshimo's is better.

>>12375023
>LSC
>CV
You dont do min construction for CV. Try the Taihou recipe.

>>12375031
>gumo
Are you sure.

>>12375036

No thanks. At least not now. I am a little low on bauxite from mad crafting 2 days ago.

>>12375051
You don't actually need bauxite in this event.

>>12375051
Then you wouldn't be getting any new CV. How could you be this retarded?

Type 91 on Mutsu or Kongou?

I think I'm falling in love with Tokitsukaze, why couldn't she have stats good enough for the super DD fleet? I mean she's a holo ship and an E-4 reward..

>>12375060
Cuteness trump stats

>>12375060
>holo
She is gold.

>>12375057

I can get Unryuu to clear the event for me.

To those doing E-6
Is it really worth it to try E-6 just to get another DD? (answers from admirals 99 and below don't count)

>>12375060
Unko is the bonus for me this time around. I'll be satisfied just by clearing E-4 and getting Tokitsukaze

>>12375073
Have you clear it?

>>12375073

That, is for you to decide.

>>12375064
And ayanami/shigure/poi are blue before Kai, what's your point?

>>12375085
Doesn't change the fact that she's gold.

>>12375085
By your point, every ship will be holo one day, aside from Isuzu.

Th-Thanks, green T. All ships were fine after H node, this game can really take your hopes and dreams and fuck your asshole with them.

>>12375087
Doesnt change the fact that she is holo after Kai.

>>12375073
It is not just another DD
It is fucking ISOKAZE

>>12375092
Story of my last few sortie as well, I'm doing my dailies right now.

>>12375095
Just like Z1 and Z3 right.
Those are sure Super DD tier.

>>12375102
Z1 and Z3 are high tier for AL though due to their superior survivability

>>12375099
A prime example of mismatching design, voice and lines.

>>12375073
E6 isn't an E5 where you can F5 until you get the superior route.
You do it or you don't.

Quick clearing requires damecon.
If you are willing to spend the next 12 days, using the lowest amount of buckets possible, it is time to say fuck you to E6.

Also, don't even attempt it without 2 CVLs

>>12375073
No, but I'd rather burn my resources than piling it for another 3 months, that would be extremely boring.

>>12375073
The only ships I don't have are Isokaze and Kiyoshimo so I see no reason to not do it.
Anyway, just failed to lend the decisive kill for the 6th time.
At least I'm getting a bunch of Maruyu.

>>12375104

How to get Z1 and Z3 now?

>>12375121
LSC.

>>12375115
I just got Tanikaze on my last clear.
I just need Isokaze to complete my kantaidex and then hibernate till the next fall event.

>>12375121
D8 > 250/30/200/30

Anyone know how much LOS or composition is needed for E-5? I keep on getting diverted away from the boss.

>>12375129

I only got Yukikaze and Shimakaze with that.

>>12375134
They're eating them like candy.

>>12375092
I'm considering to write script for E-6 to escape this madness.

>>12375099
Horrible feet, mediocre DD.

>>12375138
You need Z1 flagship to get Z3.

>>12375134
Why no KTKM-sama?
Should have used high luck ship like Zuihou.
She already survived two death node. I got a feeling the luck stat isnt actually placebo.
Damecon lost = 0

>>12375135
It's random. South route is guaranteed boss if have enough LoS.

>>12375142
>Zuihou
I lost 2 damekon on her but RJ is a best.

>>12375141

And how do I get Z1? Only D8 quest can get it?

I don't have Yamato or Musashi, how fuck am I for E6?

>>12375147
Yes

>>12375148
You will spend less resources, congratulations.

>>12375148
You dont need them.

>>12375146

>5thCarDiv
Always more inferior.

>>12375147
>>12375150
What if someone accidentally scraps/feeds Z1 before they get another german ship

>>12375158

I am wondering about the same thing too.

>>12375157
>5thCarDiv
What?

>>12375157
Lel

>>12375158
I think you could get them form E5 spring so good luck.

>>12375158
>>12375160
You stop doing stupid shit or suffer for it.

>>12375158
>>12375160
Spring event E-5 boss node dropped Z1, If I remember correctly.

>>12375142
Zuihou is locked to AL. Kitakami's lower level than Ooi, but she'll be back for the last kill.

Did the devs do something with the drops?
I'm farming E-4 just to get Hayashimo and most of my drops are Akigumo (because Comiket I guess?)

>>12375173
Levels don't matter. Especially for flagship.

>>12375173
Count yourself lucky.
You are doing the EZ mode version. If you dont beat it you only have yourself to blame.

>>12375142
Nothing better than seeing your cute little Zuihou dodge Kaga but Nagato/hotel getting rekt hard.

>>12375174
Dunno about you, but I just got Hayashimo from E-4, day phase S-rank.

>>12375174
>akigumo
What?
Yuubari is the otaku.

My sanity points are near 0. If I don't reach the boss and deal at least 400 damage today, it's time to give up, say fuck you to BB hime, CV hime, green T, Isokaze and proto-41cm. I'll farm cranes, Taigei and new Yuugumo (Kiyoshimo? don't remember her name).

>>12375191
Akigumo always talks about drawing.

Anyone used CVL in their main fleet for E3? Just wondering.

>>12375193
Ok

Tasukete jp

My girls are trolling me at last kill of e4. Shigure got torp'd from full to red.

By a goddamn dd on hankousen.

Which of these do you use on nodes where it's just two air salvos? I've been farming E-3 for 2 days now trying to experiment and it seems like I save more planes and take less chip with double line over the so called diamond formation.

>>12375203
>Shigure
残念だったね。
Try again.

>>12375204

What is the composition you used for 1st and 2nd fleet?

>>12375204
I used spear

>>12375204
Nice idea anon, I'll be waiting for your experiment report.

>>12375207
2 BB 4 CV 9 reppu 4 saiun. 2DD 2CLT 1CA 1CL

124 eLoS fleet 1.
50 eLoS fleet 2.

>>12375204
Did you note any difference in bauxite usage?

>>12375213
reppuu

>>12375092
This is me two days ago.
Now I keep getting red without reaching the boss.

>>12375222
epik maymay ;)

Increase game speed option fucking when? Sparkling several fleets is a fucking ordeal. Click the map. Confirm. Wait waaay too fucking long until the battle starts. Confirm battle results. Confirm drop. Proceed. Spin the fucking compass. Wait. Wait until the battle ends. Confirm battle results. Confirm drop. Repeat. Jesus Christ.

>>12375204
Double line is full evasion afterall.

>>12375213

Your HQ level?

Will I be able to reach boss node if I use 2BB2CVL2CV 4saiun
2nd fleet 3DD1CAV2CL and some radars

2, 4, 10 for Buckets right?

Why havent you save her yet from the crutches of abyss?

>>12375232
>CVL/CV combo
What kind of air superiority are you getting with that. Midway hime once managed to crit someone to red when I had somewhere around 370

>>12375240
Out of steel.

>>12375241

To be honest I only have 1 Reppuu and 3 Shiden Kai Ni. I have 3CV, but I don't really wanna bring Kaga into MI.

>>12375241
Not that anon but I'm doing fine with 340. You just got unlucky.

>>12375240
No cruisers. No CVs. Slowly running out of fuel. CV hime trolling. Ta trolling. LOS check trolling. Boss node trolling. Should I continue?

>>12375240
I only made it to the boss twice so far

>>12375248
If you have some bauxite to spare, I recommend trying for some greens. If not, maybe take it easy while going through E-3.

>>12375249
Yeah, I normally start with slightly under 400 and it was an unlucky run. Assuming the other anon has less air superiority, it might be a more common sight for him though.

>>12375240
I'm fucking trying here. Give me few more days.

>>12375248
Craft more greens if you want to stick to using CVLs. I have slightly more than you and I'm doing fine in E3.

>>12375240
Because she is nothing special, I would clear E6 for Shinano or even Ibuki though.

>>12375262
It's becoming a tread for FO maps. We get hard maps but shit reward in return. Sasuga devs.

>>12375248
Do you expect to clear E-6 or why don't you want to use Kaga?

>>12375261

What is your composition? I am trying to find a way to reach the boss with my limited ships.

>>12375271

I am aiming to clear E6 yea.

>>12375275
Are you aiming to be the president too?

>>12375278

No I am not. But I think some of us here will agree that clearing E6 is harder than becoming a president.

If you have too many bb do you auto fail the vision check in E1?

>>12375272

>>12375286
Sure.

>>12375286
No idea, ask wikiwiki.jp-san

>>12375286
>vision check
Yeah they should pay to visit optometrist.

>>12375248
Seriously, if you have trouble clearing MI maps, you have no business clearing E6 for Isokaze.
Unless you have 200k resources with you right now, I am going to tell you not to bother.

Do you guys roll a BB comp on E-6 or no BB? 1 shelling on princess is good, but the damage output seems to be a bit low.

>>12375227
Just do something while you're at it, the most annoying thing would be the DD drops and feeding them to other DDs. It's like a all-you-can-eat DD buffet at this rate.

>>12375290
Are you trying to make up for Air superiority with greens? Torpedo cut-ins make quick work of the boss if you're forced to night phase.

So how much more bullshit next event's last map will be?

>>12375302
I might have tried no BB if I had any high level CAs left.

>>12375309
Is it not that level doesn't matter?

Sparkling actually works. You heard it here first.

>>12375302
Depends on how you see it.

>>12375308
The same except with combined fleet this time. Boss node will have its own combined fleet.

>>12375290

Thanks. I am surprised you invested KTKM into MI.
I guess I have to replace her with Abukuma or Yura.

Just crafted another Reppuu in like 10 tries.

>>12375302
No BB comp wont do shit unless you call in support.
If I want to use support I want to make it count so I roll with CVL+damekon+yamatos.
When I was going no BB comp, my resources actually went up but chipping it based on ktkm whim is going to kill your sanity. Do not do it unless you are starved for resources.

>>12375313
ganbare anon

>>12375308
They're going to warn us that it'll be a combined fleet event requiring bauxite, and the last map will be all night battles and only doable with 3 CLT and 3 sanshiki.

>>12375305
>Are you trying to make up for Air superiority with greens?
Yup.

>Torpedo cut-ins make quick work of the boss if you're forced to night phase.
Double attack is enough. I've only done ~30 E3 runs so far and all of them were kills without a cut in set up. I don't need to overkill it.

>>12375321
I already know I can't clear E6. If I could then I would have used Ooi instead of KTKM.

>>12375320
>>12375302
>Depends on how you see it.
Ah crap, I fail to finish my sentence. Hime is still going to rape your shit occasionally if you decide to run 2CVL. 2Ru + Hime against a fleet of CA is harsh as well but they seem to like CV/L more.

>>12375298

Should I bother? I heard there is easy modo for TTK 99 and below.

If I run E-6 with 2 CVL and 1 CV should I put damecons on all 3 of them or just the CVLs?

>>12375104
>Z1 and Z3
>superior survivability
lel

>>12375333
Not with that steel.

>>12375312
If I get really desperate and fed up with this shit, I might try sending lv. 30 Tone and lv. 54 Mogami to verify it.

>>12375333
>I heard there is easy modo for TTK 99 and below.
Only for the final kill. Not sure about the rest of the nodes. Just take it easy and focus on a kill per day or the equvalent of it while spamming expedition non-stop.

It also depends on what kind of fleet you're fielding. You may not want to field the Hotels until the last kill or something.

>>12375333
Oh.
You are doing the easy mode. Go with >>12374899 what I used.
Taihou is wildcard so you can replace it with another CLT or BB. Only proceed with your BB intact and you should get boss kill everytime you reach the boss. The 2CVL is the composition with the highest success rate to boss.

>>12375313
Your non-sparkling already are better than my runs

>>12375333
You're going to fail because of steel, but you might as well try and see how lucky you are. You don't have anything more important to save that steel for.

finally made it to the E-2 boss on friend's suggestion of line ahead, line ahead, echelon. Screw you guys and your double lines. Cost me like 50 buckets.

>>12375339
>>12375341

Get it. Should I do sparkle and support expedition too?

>>12375349
Support is a must.
Sparkling is up to you if you believe in placebo or not.

>>12375338
I'm actually gonna do that later, I managed to get both mogami mikuma to lv.30 today and forgot to do my dailies.. will done after I get my last 2-5 boss kill.

>>12375349
I'm a fervent believer of the KiraKira but not a keen supporter for support, I usually leave it for the last kill.

>>12375352
Normally I'd call sparkling bullshit, but with his resources, he wouldn't be losing anything by trying.

Remember when this game was fun?

>>12375353
If I were to add, I'm HQ107

>>12375313
what comp?

>>12375357
This game was never fun.

>>12375359
CLT 3BB 2CVL

>>12375357
You mean E-3 to E-5?

>>12375352
>>12375354

Hmm.... From my experience in E2, Sparkling for the whole main fleet is a hassle. But I always sparkle my CVLs in the support fleer. I run route support for gauge clearing, and both route and boss node support for final kill.

I guess I will do what I always do.

Is there a way to avoid getting dead ends on E-4 after that sub node?
btw, composition is 1 CAV, 2 BB, 3 CV for first fleet
3 DD, 1 CL, and 2 CAV for 2nd fleet
All in all, I have 16 LOS equipment (3 yellow planes, 5 recon planes, 8 radars)

>>12375345

He can use the steel in LSC

>>12375365
Those golden days are long gone.

>>12375357
I joined just after the last event with regen ended, so no.

>>12375369
>Is there a way to avoid getting dead ends on E-4 after that sub node?
As far as I know, it's random.

>>12375347
You used line ahead on the night node and echelon on the sub/not-subs node?

Lets say devs extend the event and add Shinano to E6 pool with a 5% chance to get her. Do you farm it?

>>12375354
You should do support
When you can start the battle with 3mobs out of the way. Boss kill is almost guarantee or at least heavy damage.

>>12375379
I will wait for them to add her to LSC a month later.

>>12375357
Few days ago when I was still on MI

>>12375379
Boss node only? No fucking way.
CV hime or node A? Too easy.

>>12375382
*a year later
Fixed.

>>12375381
What if you can't even make it to the boss reliably?

>>12375385
Newfriend.

>>12375384
Boss node of course

>>12375387
I am 3/5 today since I started to stack damekon on Zuihou.
She is truly the best bait magnet by tanking and taking every big hit for the team.

I want to play this game but i can't read japanese. I want to play with my friends on The Jay™

>>12375388
She's no puny CL, how long did it take for Musashi?

>>12375381
You're right but to me, getting there was the biggest problem. Almost half of my runs were due to someone getting into the red and out of the 6 times I reached the boss, I had 4 complete kills.

>>12375395
Event reward isn't event drop.

>>12375388
8months and the comic LO slut is still not available for new teitoku.
It is not like she is useful anymore, subs have been nerf to useless status.

>>12375399
>>12375398

>>12375392

Learn Japanese then. You will realise that it is pretty easy once you started it.

>>12375392
Try harder you virgin

>>12375399
You forget she comes with a Seiran.

>>12375397
Ah fuck, my log is a clusterfuck, I reach the boss more than that but half of it were confirmed kill because torpedo monsters got raped half way through.

>>12375402
I tried once but i kept forgetting everything and i started crying because it was too hard

>>12375413
I want to introduce you to a friend of mine.

>>12375382
Yahagi was always supposed to debut in LSC. They only added her early because of the server issues. It was a terrible apology, but a unique case.

>>12375399
She was never useful, from the moment she was added people were calling her shit for her consumption cost. Subs still have their place in expeditions/dailies/cheesing.

>>12375420
Ahhh!! Scary!!!

Zuihou is so cute.

>>12375422
>It was a terrible apology, but a unique case.
And it happened again for this event, albeit it wasn't their fault this time. Still, downtime is downtime.

>>12375429
There were no downtime for API users.

>>12375429
You mean it was their fault last time?

>>12375435
I doubt most of Japan actually uses the API link, why go through the trouble when you can load it through DMM without a nary of problem? I don't use KCV though so I'm not too sure about them.

>>12375436
I don't really remember well but I remember error-ko raining on my parade on the first day of the event.

So I am looking through the kantaidex
Who is 154? The fable SUPER Yamato?
162/167 should be an IJN shipgirl.
176/177/178 should be another gaijin ship

Should I use CA or CAV for E-6?

My two remaining CAV are underleveled compare to my available CAs.

>>12375449
I bet Shinano since Taihou is 153.

>>12375449
>176/177/178 should be another gaijin ship
Tirpitz, Tirpitz Kai, Tirpitz zwei.

>>12375459
Can't wait for Fumikane to do some slight recoloring and call it kai/zwei!

>>12375452
CAV can use the spanner.
Unless your CAV is Tone and Chikuma go with Hagura and Myoukou. Suzuya and gang is weak at E6 due to small plane slot and low firepower.

>>12375464
I wonder where Z2 and Z4 will be. I remember Z4 survived the war so she'll probably have higher luck than her sisters.

Should I use 3CV for E-3? I was planning on reserving Souryuu for E-6 but I don't have any decent CVLs to spare for E-3 to E-5.

Given the kcplayer archives, which could be a good incoming sms sound?

Lemon fairy is the best compass fairy. She haven't failed me even once this event. I wish I could slaughter sleepy fairy though.

>>12375465
>small plane slot and low firepower.
There's only a difference of 2 firepower between the 2 classes and 6 planes is still pretty decent.

>>12375378
no night nodes? 2CA,2CVL,2DD comp. And yeah i used echeleon on the 3rd node. Because it would give me battleships whenever i used line abreast or echelon, and subs when i used anything else.

>>12375510
In E6 we are looking at firepower+torpedo

>>12375504

http://www51.atpages.jp/kancollev/kcplayer.php?c=149v8

2, 4, 10 for Buckets right?

How does gauge chipping really work? If I shave 200HP of BB hime in one sortie, and another 200HP on the next, does those constitute as a kill or is there some bonus decrease for every clean kill?

Did anyone validate the sub-tanked night battol approach for E-6? If not, I'll try with my married Shioi.

>>12375548

I tried with both a married Goya and a married Shioi, bot got hit to red on the first night battle node.

I felt like crying.

>>12375504

>>12375560
What if you put a damekon as your flagship?
Does the damekon get consume when she get show down or used when you are proceeding?
The boss node only has fodder than can do ASW and they are easily wiped by support.

>>12375564

Fucking annoying. I don't feel like using her at all, and I even sparkle every single ship I use for expeditions.

>>12375567

I didn't want to use damecons but now the subs on the north route are critting my girls to red so I might reconsider the yasen route.

>>12375560
First night battle node? My married Shioi got raped on node A with enemies in line ahead. What the fuck.

>>12375564
Newtype DD strong.

>>12375589

After surviving the first node, those DDs might not crit your, but still hit you for like 14, it's ridiculous.

>>12375564
That's the perfect alarm clock.

by the way
where are is C86 main thread?

E4 last kill requires some silly LOS

Ran into deadends 5 straight times with akitsumaru and had to swap her out for a scout-capable CV. 105 was enough with akitsumaru for the previous kills, while I had to pump it up to 160 for my last clear.

They sure won't let us cheese the last kill huh

>>12375603
No one cares about Comiket until the third day, as per usual.

Is this last kill or 2nd last kill?
Going to go for maximum placebo and sparkle all 18ships.

>>12375607
Fuck forgot picture.

What are the best formations for E-3?

KILL ME

>>12375604
Akitsumaru was with me for the last kill, did not see any difference.

>>12375616
All AA and Line Ahead for the boss.

>>12375614
2 more kills I think.

>>12375618
Is that the map with the new titsub? Haven't seen any comments on her so far.

Should I say typical?

>>12375644
She's been introduced last Spring, nerd.

>>12375614
2 more, I've had similar amount left.

>>12375660
Oh. I misread it as new, but they just meant the flagship version is new.

>>12375630
Thanks.

>>12375674
Golden sub as been around for quite some time already. Unless you mean the sub with those silly hats.

Harmless when line abreast, you said.

>>12375656

Change their position. I switched Junyou and Hiyou during E2 and suddenly none of them get critted to red.

Getting prepared for E-3. Just having a hard time choosing if I go 2 CAV or 1 CAV 1 CLT.

How mean are the LoS requirements for 100+ HQ? And did E-4 require 2 CA(V) anyway?

Guys does Hayashimo really drop at E3 like wikiwiki says? I'm planning on trying to farm E3 for both her and Yahagi

>>12375603
>where are is
Are you some sort of fucking retard?

>>12375688
>ASW formation
You're not killing all those subs, just give it up and go bottom right. Your escort fleet will just dodge all of the torps

Do you think farming hamakaze's to 30 is worth it for her shitty type 22?

>>12375713
You mean top right.

>>12375711

Some people here she does, other people say she doesn't, so it's up to you.

>>12375715
With e5, obviously. Farm all your ships there while you can

>>12375724
Well I would need to beat E6 before going back there to farm.

Is it normal to lose all the preboss battles for E-3? I feel like I'm missing something by loading the CVs with Reppu only.

With that said, should I also switch Chiyoda out for another CV or CVL?

>>12375731
Why exactly? I mean farming the sub nodes to give nice exp for 12 ships at the same time.

>>12375720
I've been using bottom right and haven't had any problems with the sub node, but if top right works just as well, use that too.

ASW formation is a trap because fighting the subs isn't worth taking the opening salvo

Wait a minute, I went to E6 with 1 SS, 2 BB, 1 CLT, 2 CV and I went ACEH, I was expecting yasen route.

>>12375734
You need a fourth CV.
AND good AA planes

>>12375740
Yeah I can level 12ships all at once.
All the CVL and CAV are going to get power up for the next event.

After 3 runs on E-6 (of which only the BB-less fleet reached the boss, to deal 0 damage to her) I can already feel that this will cause a nice mental meltdown. Especially then the second hime kicks in.

>>12375734
reppuu
And it's obvious why you'd lose if you don't have a single slot of dive bombers or torpedo bombers. How are you going to damage the enemy in an air battle without them?

Now, all my Kongou girls are lvl 99. Time to craft Bismarck soon.

I feel bad that I know I will never use the Kongou again until the next event.

>>12375748
What exactly were you expecting? Only 2 CVL will give you 100% H.

>>12375734
How do you plan on getting past the LOS check with 2 CVs filled with Reppuu.

Run 3-4 CVs with Saiun and Reppuu. You can afford to give them a blue/red even. You're not going to have any bauxite problems with that stockpile

>>12375748
Did you win?
Sound like a good fleet that can take down Hime.
You have 2CV.

>>12375761

I was expecting going to ADF.

>>12375766

Of course not, Taihou got crit to red again.

>>12375769
Try again if it will really send you to D most time.

>>12375755
Sanity is for the weak.

>>12375755
>boss reached in one out of three runs
It seems like you're lucky, keep at it.

Thanks for the advice, Anons.

>>12375750
I see. Aren't CVs also needed at E-6? I plan to reserve Kaga, Akagi and Souryuu for it since I locked most of my decent CVLs at AL.

>>12375757
Good point. Guess I was paranoid since it was my first run and all.

>>12375763
>How do you plan on getting past the LOS check with 2 CVs filled with Reppuu.
There's one Saiun each on the crane sisters while Chiyoda has two. I loaded up the escort fleets with LOS equipment as well. In the end, I made it to the boss node.

>Run 3-4 CVs with Saiun and Reppuu. You can afford to give them a blue/red even. You're not going to have any bauxite problems with that stockpile
I see, I'll keep that in mind.

>>12375799
>Aren't CVs also needed at E-6?
If you can stomach two Yasen node, sure. 2CVL seems great but I don't trust their squishiness.

>>12375742
>ASW formation is a trap because fighting the subs isn't worth taking the opening salvo

Well, use whatever seems to work for you, but I'm a firm believer that most of the problems from E2 stem from people crippling their surface FP and then having to dodge more attacks because they couldn't damage the enemy fleet. In >>12375688's case, he's ensured 3 less attacks to dodge, versus an evasion bonus that may or may not exist.

So if I go south on E-6, should I bother with trash support?

>>12375755
Daijoubu. Once you're broken there'll be nothing more to fear.

>>12375811
You going double night batol or random ACFJ/ACEHJ?
The first option will make you want to commit sudoku.

E5 night nodes: all out Line ahead, or pussyfooting echelon?

>>12375818
The answer is south.

Getting really tired of the bullshit compass on E-4. Should I go South? I don't have an Akitsu Maru though so I guess it really can't be helped?

How often do you guys reach the boss in e-6? I'm at 70~ sorties and still haven't even reached the boss once.

I'm using 1CLT/3BB/2CVL. I have no spare ships for support or trying out a different fleet comp. I'm sitting at around 50k all resources so maybe i can grind a few CAs since I'm seeing lots of people use them. Do they take you A > C >F > J route?

>>12375821
So the answer to South is F5 'till happens?

>>12375818
Neither. Line aboob.

>>12375823
4DDs or Akitsumaru can take you to B.

>>12375700

This is my (E-3) fleet at the moment. It has LoS, AA and some tourbines which are there because I couldn't quite figure out if I'll need more radars or not.

I figured if this doesn't wipe the sky clean, I'm not sure what to do. Each CV also has something red/blue that should be able to poke enemies.

Was thinking or removing torpedo cut ins and adding Akitsumaru for E-4 later.

>>12375818
4/6 today
I only use 2BB due to me being a cheapfag.

Has anyone tried 3+ CVLs for E2?

>>12375825
4/6 today
I only use 2BB due to me being a cheapfag.

>>12375831
You're better off reserving Tone and Chikuma for E6.

I'm currently doing MI with level 30 CVs and expedition fleet DDs, just throw in freshly remodeled CAs on there and they'll still be amazing.

>>12375845
I don't need any CAV at all for E-4? CA would be enough?

>>12375847
CA and CAV are interchangeable for all maps of this event.

>>12375807
My CVLs are crappy though. What do you use instead?

>>12375810
The only reason why line abreast works is that it increases evasion as well as increase ASW damage. The formation doesn't work unless the evasion lets you dodge the two torpedo salvos, or reduce the damage significantly

In >>12375688's case, while he's taking less damage, he's also had to retreat because he couldn't dodge the opening salvo.

>>12375825
Rarely.

>>12375850
I use 2CV and try to remind myself that it's not as bad as Fall E4 due to flares and night scout. Who am I kidding, I still get blasted away by double attack.

>>12375847
E4 is part of MI. Only E6 is a separate map that needs new ships without the AL and MI tags.

>>12375852
That was the closing salvo, actually.

In any case, switching formations seems to have worked, thank you. Only have 400 buckets left for E4-6, so every little bit helps.

>>12375240
Just another mediocre DD in a game filled with mediocre DDs. E6's real reward was the 41cm.

>>12375856
Hahah, just be patient and keep at it anon, that gauge will fall eventually. I'll keep your advice in mind too, thanks.

>>12375204
I've tried using Ahead, but I find that the extra damage from my first fleet doesn't outweigh my second fleet being damaged to orange or red before the night battle phase.

Double line is safest in terms of damage, but also less likely to get that final kill if everything doesn't go just right.

My fucking sides
Click wrong formation at subnode since I am pretty much doing it on automation.
Expected to get raped badly but in the end all miss and only scratch damage.

>>12375774

Yep it sent me to D but then to the dead end, maybe 106 ELoS is not enough.

Funny though, Shioi got down to red on that night battle, then when I decided to continue and use the damecon, I got to the dead end, but I didn't spend my damecon.

>>12375852
Agreed. But that only applies if the non-ASW formations increase evasion/defense over the ASW formation, which since you think line abreast increases evasion, I don't know why you think it's combined counterpart doesn't.

>>12375864
I know, I just thought it would be a waste to use CA on E-3 if I had to swap to CAV for E-4. But if they are interchangable, then all is fine.

Besides I don't think I can fit all the suggested ships into E-6 anyway (CLTs, CVs, BBs, CAVs, Subs, CVLs)

>>12375880
Thanks, I'm aiming for one kill per day and anything after that is a bonus. It helps preserving my SANS meter from free-falling.

Switching my useless gluttons called BB with level 30 CA because fuck everything, I'll probably lose ma patience soon, give up and start grinding E3.
Unless E-6 shows me that levels really don't matter.

>>12375891
Don't put Shioi as your lead. Putting her at some other slot saves you damecons when the 2 DDs at the boss node are offed before they get a chance to attack.

>>12375900
Level only matter on the first and sub node.
After that it is pure luck.

>>12375891
Sometimes even 110+ eLOS is not enough.

A question to /jp/: are you sure that sanshiki doesn't work in the day? My CAs can deal 80+ damage to the lolihime with one hit of day double attack (forgot how much the other hit dealt). Not even final boss form yet.

>>12375910
I'm pretty sure it doesn't work during the day battle - my battleships with sanshiki dealt about 2x 60 damage.

>>12375910
>are you sure that sanshiki doesn't work in the day?
Who said that? CA are night battle specialists, add in the Sanshiki bonus against island-types and you get huge amount of damage. Day battle still work.

Since I most likely won't use 3 CLTs on E-6, would it be helpful to use one on E-3, E-4, E-5? Which ship type could be replaced by one, is it just the CA(V)s?

>>12375903
Will do.

>>12375909
The LoS requirements for a map like this are absurd. 110 is enough for the north route with 2 CVL, but I'm burning buckets so fast that I decided to try other comps.

>>12375909
I think the consensus is that there is a random component in addition to the LoS threshold.

I did E3 with more LoS than the map could possibly require (HQ level below 100, 5 Saiuns, good radars on everyone, 221 effective LoS) and it still redirected me off whenever it pleased.

>>12375915
Sounds like scratch damage to me, actually. Probably a missed attack.

>>12375916
Quite a lot of people here on /jp/, actually.

>>12375921
>110 is enough for the north route with 2 CVL
Sorry, but it isn't. I failed the LOS check 6 times and reached the boss only 3 times with 111 LOS.

No miracle compositions for E-6 yet?
About to finish E-5 and I was hoping someone would have discovered some real easy way to cheese E-6. Given the reward is a DD, I can't believe they made it so tough.

>>12375815
All north to hime with 2CVL.

>>12375916
Kongous have the same FP during day and night.
During Fall E4, you can only kill her during the night. They hit like peashooter during the day. even with sanshiki.

>>12375928
>Sounds like scratch damage to me, actually. Probably a missed attack.
If what you're saying is true, I'll consider some serious scrapping because they did it all the time on E4.

>>12375932
Final kill maybe.
I have no problem going to the boss with no support but I usually end up with medium damaged ship and damekon ship at red most of the time.

>>12375910
When I was there, my ships could peak at over 100 per hit without type 3 shells.

Sweet sweet KTKM-sama cut-in torpedo damage. Targeting the hime only with 500+damage, ignoring the trash that survived in day battle.

>>12375954
No wait, this was during E-4 where the main fleet BBs don't get to fight night battles.

>>12375930
The cheesiest so far involves night battle shenanigans with Shioi.

All other compositions are fairly straightforward and mostly involve getting mauled by the CV hime.

>>12375954
Which ship was it?

>>12375930

I'm testing 1 SS 2 CA 1 BB 2 CV to see what happens.

109 effective los, straight to dead end on E-6 3 times. Who said 102 is enough?

>>12375980
ACFJ route has higher LoS requirement.

>>12375980
It's ~110 actually.

I fucking keep getting errorcat during sorties, does anyone else have the same problem?

I'm getting somewhat (emphasis on that) results with 3 CLT, hotel and 2 CVL. Los check can fuck you from time to time tho

>>12375910
>火力上昇は昼戦でも効果があるが、150キャップはそのままなので昼に大ダメージを与えるのは難しい。
Wikiwiki says that there might be an effect during daytime but the firepower cap makes any difference minimal.

>>12375999
somewhat decent*

>>12375825
>70~ sorties and still haven't even reached the boss once.
Damn.

Using the same composition, I reached it 13 times in 72 sorties at the cost of 5 damecons.

>>12376000
>firepower cap
Now everything makes sense.

>>12375547
If the boss have 200 hp and you have to kill it 5 times then the boss hp bar is 1000hp.If you deal 150 damage your first sortie and 100 the next, the boss hp bar will be left with 750 hp. You can do this until it reaches 1hp at which point you actually have to sink the boss in order to clear the map.

>>12375542
Yes

>>12376005
How much damage do you usually deal when you manage to reach the boss? Do you sparkle your fleet? I'm asking out of curiosity because I feel like I've hit the wall.

>>12376024
Different anon here using 3BB1CLT2CVL, I don't sparkle or sortie with damecons and is 2/30+ within these two days. S rank both times.

>>12376022
Ah, right. So shaving off 200HP two times totals up to 400 which is the max you can go for a sortie (minus the final kill of course). Thanks.

Why the fuck is this bitch loves to take heavy damage so often. Its because of her I can get to E6 boss at all.

>>12376022
I wish devs changed normal bar to "enemy boss resource bar" if they intend to continue the trend of bullshit composition designing. Right now the boss bar do not represent boss HP, I'd rather have a boss with 3000-4000 HP*, bullshit boss node composition and bullshit pre-boss nodes, but with its current HP value saved after sorties. You deal 250 damage to the boss? Gotta face 3750/4000 boss on your next sortie. Facing 1/4000? Scratch damage and you're free.

* It's random example, actual values should be properly balanced and calculated due to CLT/CA/CAV's extremely high damage potential during night battles.

Wishful thinking. Devs are dicks and will never introduce such thing.

Fucking E-2.
I've been doing it for 3 days and i only managed to get to the boss once.

>>12376042
Stop using bad ships.

>>12376042
She is a carrier and carriers are critmagnets.

>>12376044
I could have beaten E-3 with 2 sorties then

What am I supposed to do with another Thighgay?

>>12376045
Can someone give me some tips?
This is the team I'm currently using.

So I just finished E-5 and I'm sitting on 600 buckets and about 120k remaining in resources. I was fortunate to get through AL and MI with rather small resource expenses, but I'm not sure if I'll have enough to clear E-6 given I always have the worst luck with the last map of events.

How much is or has everyone spent on E-6? Who's cleared it with the fewest resources?

>>12376064
Scrap it.

>>12376064
Keep her as a spare just in case of future expeditions. Or if you have no Ryuuhou, level her to one.

>>12376066
What are your equips? What formations are you using? Where do you get sent back the most?

>>12376066
Move the CAs below the DD. Or you can go DD/CA/DD/CA/CVL/CVL. Line ahead on everything except preboss node. I used Diamond formation for that.

>>12376066
Try this Anon's comp, got me there in 15 tries, give or take.

Btw, try doing a spreadsheet report like his. Destresses yourself plus you can see clearly where you fucked up too.

>>12376066
Can't say much until I know your equipment, etc. Are you satisfying the LOS requirement? What's your HQ level? Put DD at the first two position so they could remove stragglers during night battle, it's not a guarantee but ships have a tendency to ignore flagship.

>>12376069
You can definitely clear it with that much resources, and besides, there's still 13 days.

>>12376069
120k is more than enough.

>>12376074
CA(V): 2x 20.3cm red, Sanshiki, Type 0 Observation Plane
DD: 2x 10cm Twin High Angle Mount, Type 13 Air Radar
CVL: Shiden Kai, Ryuusei Kai, 2x Type 2 Recon Aircraft
Route;South C > G > E > F
Always getting crit to red before boss.

Fuck this, E-6 just gave me cancer.

>>12376069
I spent little more then 130 ammo and fuel, 80 steel with little to no bauxite and 400 buckets, TTK Lv. 101, using 2CVL route. Then again, I had under-leveled ships and sortied hotels during chipping runs with boss support. No sparkling though.
It all depends on your SAN score, really. After finally clearing it I wish I spent all this on E-5 sub nodes, getting my ships ready for next event now that I'm in big boys group.

>>12376069
I'm really afraid of calculating but I'm still sitting on 130K. Just take it easy and clear it, if you can, don't bring in the Hotels until you are cock sure you can clear it under 30 times. This is a map of attrition after all.

>>12376086
>Always getting crit to red before boss
Start sacrificing goats, or using the support expedition. It's pricy and isn't always as helpful as you want it to be, but you might spend a lot more without it.

>>12376086
>Always getting crit to red before boss.
Which node gives you the most grief?
Also, what formations are you using?

As for your equip, I'd switch out the Type 13 for Type 22 or better if you have them.

>>12376086
What's the formation you're running for each node?

This is fucking bullshit. Should I just replace 1-1 reppu with damecons?

>>12376086
Support expeditions. All day, every day.

>2x Type 2 Recon Aircraft
No Saiun?

Shit like this just makes me think how bad the boss node will be.

Just finished E-5. I guess I'll skip E-6 considering the reward and my currently available ships.

>>12376099
Good luck getting LoS.

This is fucking bullshit. Should I just replace 1-1 reppu with damecons? Fuck this map

>>12376069
Final kill?
Channel your passion for KTKM to pick the right target to 1shot.

>>12376102
This comp always goes through the LoS check for me.

>>12376094
First node and preboss node
Line abreast>ahead>abreast>ahead.
Alright I'll try that.

>>12376099
How did you equip those two carrier?

>>12376024
No sparkles, line ahead except abreast on subs, node support used, damecon on the CVLs, no Yamatos. Results since using this setup (earlier runs either lacked node support or damecon, or used diamond on the hime node, and were less successful):

Lost at the first BB: 5
Subs: 3
Hime air phase: 4
Hime shelling: 6
Boss: 316/400, 326, 0, 137, 281, 189, 313, 37
4 boss runs involved advancing on red with damecon, and the other 4 had one or two battleships hit to orange by the hime.

>>12376084
>>12376085
>>12376091
>>12376092
Thanks. I'm thinking of sortieing with Tone and Chikuma for my chip damage runs since they should cost a little less than the Hotels. Might make it a 2CLT 2CAV 2CVL and see how well that works.

Also, has anyone bothered with adding another CV to the 2CVL comps? I saved Kaga for E-6 just in case and now it looks like I might not even use her. I get the impression that air superiority isn't such a big deal and that having more ships that can night blast Hime is more important.

>>12376091
> I wish I spent all this on E-5 sub nodes
Devs will add Word 6 combined fleet maps when the event ends, and they will have actually worthwhile EXP/hour ratio. Mark my words.

>>12376098
What team should I use for support?
Does it makes a diffrence?

>>12376115
World 7.

>>12376109
1xSaiun 2xReppuu (1 of those is kai) on each.
Type 62 Fighter, Suisei Ekusa.

>>12376112
Yeah
I am up to my final kill.
Going all in with 18ships sparkled

>>12376115
I can't wait.

>>12376118
Why?

>>12376107
With route support, you can easily mop up the leftovers with line ahead except in night battle.

>>12376120
Which route does that comp take?

>>12376107
Try double>ahead>double>ahead.
Line abreast is shit for dodging on E-2 for some reason.

>>12376130
2CVL is ACEHJ no matter what.

>>12376115
> actually worthwhile EXP/hour ratio
8k/hour for fodder and 24k/hour for flags seems worthwhile enough for me.

>>12376112
>I get the impression that air superiority isn't such a big deal
Not sure if I'm right but I'm under the impression air supremacy gives more chances of daytime cut-ins/double attack so you may wish to get that if you could.

>>12376125
World 6 will be 東方海域 and follow worlds 3 to 5's styles.

>>12376128
What route support?
I entered the event late so I'm somehow behind.
HQ level is 99 by the way.

>>12376137
And your source is?

>>12376120
Is bringing 3CV(L)s worth it? You lose an extra night battle ship.

>>12376116
>What team should I use for support?
Usually 2 BBs, 2 CV(L)s and 2 DDs with maximum firepower for both preboss and boss support, all reds for CV(L)s. Read the wiki for more info.

>Does it makes a diffrence?
Tremendously on E-2. Support can knock out an annoying BB or take out the trash ships and allow your CAs to target more dangerous ships. Word of advice: send your best ships for preboss support and second best for boss support and before your final kill, switch them around; lolihime is a pushover except for her final form.

>>12376146
All my carrier can attack during daytime.
It is up to you sacrifice them being reppu/saiun that cant attack during day.

RNG on E-2 utterly destroyed me before the boss node but I got through with no critical ship sinking and got this, guess today is my lucky day.

That's true. I guess I'll try a 1CLT 2CAV 1CV 2CVL comp and see how that goes.

RNG on E-2 utterly destroyed me before the boss node but I got through with no critical ship sinking and got this, guess today is my lucky day

Shove your sore was into himitsu des, faggot. Without source you're just a retard spouting shit.

>no critical ship sinking
So fucking kuso.
Also, to make you feel better, Kaga drops all over the place in MI. Good job, kuso.

Those who put damecon on CVL for E-6, what loadout are you using to achieve some air power while meeting the los req?

Posted the wrong pic, I got kaga from E-1 this is the correct drop >>12376157

>>12376166
Still kuso. How many ships did you sink? How much blood is on your hands?

>>12375828
Abreast

>>12376168
None, I haven't lost a single ship yet.

>>12376173
Why'd you word it as "no critical ship" then? It makes it sound like you sank some ships you didn't care about.

>>12376175
Ah, no it should be "no critical damaged" ship, RNG fucked me over and I had two ships (hibiki and hiyou) in critical condition before the boss node.
