/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Great

How does one get out of the 3-5 hell?
Someone update the wiki.

>>12880890
There is no recommended fleet.
It's just one wacky ride of RNG.

>>12880890
1 CL 5 DD has always worked for me.

>>12880890
2BB 3CAV Kaga for the fun route.

>>12880890
>tfw I can get through 3-5 without any troubles
>tfw 2-5 fucks me over
Why am I so kuso? What are the recommended fleets for 2-5?

>>12881093
2 CAV 1 CLT 2 DD 1 CVL

How could anyone keep playing this longer than a month?

It's more random and repetitive than average mobile card game garbage.

>>12881112
Some people just like mindless time-killing eg farmville, this is like the "otaku" version if you will but it has hot sluts and great porn.

Not defending the game at all but different people like different things.

>>12881112
>random
No, it's chore, you do all the daily quests and see your timer ticking. It'll become part of your daily routine before you know it, and I'd say that this game is for everyone who has a lot of time in his hand.

>>12881112
I play because even entertaining the idea of leaving my girls without a TTK is terrible to me, and I like helping them grow.

>>12881163
The only sluts in this game are the teitoku.

And Kisaragi.

>>12881093
1. DD or CL or CLT or CA
2. - 3. CAV, 1 drum per CAV
4. - 6. CA(V)
No searchlight.

>>12881093
4 FBB, 2 CV.
~70% chance to reach boss, 100% chance to fuck her (and your supplies) in the ass.

>>12881112
I've mostly quit but every now and then I'll sign in, listen to the girls greet me like I actually matter, then pile a woefully inadequate fleet into 5-5 and call it a day.

>>12881112
I've always wondered about that too. Been playing for more than a year and I can tell kancolle is far from good yet I can't stop playing it mindlessly.
The game is boring and tedious as hell but I'm addicted to it. I just let it run on the background while working and check on it every few minutes.
Maybe that's what depression does to you.

>PVP
>fight against this one guy who married the entire Fubuki class.
>Shirayuki lv 150
>the rest are above 120

Seriously? And where does he earn all that money?

>>12881399
He has good taste.

Kancolle is way more expensive in terms of time than money, anyway. It takes like fifty hours of Kancolle to grind a girl up to 99 but only one hour at work (or less) to buy the ring.

>>12881417
It's hard to picture people having full time job spending this much time on Kancolle though.

>>12881093
All Kongou sisters + Kaga the Reppuu mule + another carrier reppuu mule

Using light units in this map fucking sucks.

ＥＵＧＥＮ！ＥＵＧＥＮ！ＥＵＧＥＮ！

>>12881596

>>12881596

>>12881633
Stop posting vulgar things of Prinz.

>>12881668
That's just Sanae cosplaying as a n*zi.
F*cking newf*gs these days....

>>12881633
Stop that shit, Prinz-chan is not lewd

>>12881668
>>12882150
This, she is pure. Not a cumdump.

special indeed

>>12882558
>not-kaied Ayanami
for what purpose ?

>>12882556
She's eropure.
She just happens to be extremely sexy without trying. It can't be helped.

do boats like wieners?

>>12881668
>>12882150
She is the #1 on the slut list

>>12882556
Then why does her vayjay smell like semen?
Checkmate nazi apologists.

What EQs should i be bringing for 3-5?

>>12883697
How do I use that list? What do the second number mean? The one in ( ), clearly not R18 compared to all manga, because as we all know it's all porn.

>>12884126
Wow, you're dumb. Lurk more.

>yfw you realize your shipfu is a war criminal and you would be executed along with her according to the logic of post-war trials

>>12884727
Your shipfu is Hachi?

>>12884727
It's the crew that makes a ship what it is.
>>12884734
No Hacchan is a good girl.
Hachi from the game is based from before the her crew changed.

>>12884766
Nazi apologist spotted.
Do like ur fuehrer and kill urself.

>>12881186
40 minutes a day to do your dailies and get your mats is "a lot of time" now?

I know each event brings with it new mechanics, so I thought of compiling them. Did I miss any, and did I get anything wrong?

Spring 2013: Enemy submarines
Summer 2013: Support expeditions
Autumn 2013: Night-to-day battles (haven't appeared since then, unfortunately)
Winter 2013/14: Level scaling, no boss regen
Spring 2014: Artillery spotting, LoS branching rules
Summer 2014: Combined fleet sortie (carrier task force), ship locking
Autumn 2014: Combined fleet sortie (surface combined fleet)

>>12881093
Six heavy cruisers.

>>12884999
Might want a CAV for glorious artillery spotting, anon.

>>12885001
Not strictly needed but yes.
Chikuma and Tone shine in 2-5, it's a good map for them.

>>12884989
>>Spring 2013
What?

>>12885008
World 4 wasn't added until after spring 2013 event ended.

>>12882561
Because he likes non-kai art better? I keep a lot of girls at K1 because I don't like post-remodel art, there's literally not a single reason to degrade.

>>12880890
AV CAV DD DD CL CL worked for me great, south route

>>12884989
Did summer 2013 event have support expeds? It feels like that was added afterwards, but then I only partly got through the 2nd map.

>>12885052
Yeah, it did. No. 101 and 102 for route and boss support respectively.

>>12885037
But she isn't even kai'd.

>>12885081
I should've post the image with the guy who married all 6 stages of Chiyoda but I lost it. Love is the strongest stat, don't doubt it.

Is it possible to use an Seaplane Bomber instead of an Recon Seaplane on a BBV and still get Artillery Spotting?

>>12885090
you mean a zuiun?
and if you do.
zuiun does not scout ahead for maps nor does it do artillery spotting

Fubuki kai ni design leaked.

>>12885095
So is there any reason to use a Zuiun instead of a Recon Seaplane on a BBV? Artillery Spotting is important and I don't think the Zuiun makes up for the loss of spotting.
Or are they only used against SS?

Or am I missing something obvious?

>>12885099
Is she American?

>>12885106
Zuiun does artillery spotting. It's a direct upgrade from recon seaplane.

>>12885107
No, she learned from the Germans.

>>12885106
You're missing to read the wiki to not fall for obvious lies

>>12885095
What the fuck did I just read.

>>12885108
>>12885110
I didn't see anything on the wiki about this. Maybe I just looked at the wrong places.
Thanks for the help.

>>12885114
A long forgotten wo post.

Kuma anime　ver.

Do you have what it takes to survive the onslaught of casuals and normalfags, /jp/?

>>12885322
That looks horrible. Is that MX eyecancer or do you just have no idea how to resample images?

>>12885348
It's not like any of those are heading this way. If they do, then we just tell them to get out, as usual.

>>12885348
>watching speedsubs
>discussing anime on /jp/
you are the casuals and newfags, /jp/

>>12885392
Get CR encode whether you need subs or not. It just looks better.

This show looks so fucking terrible.

>>12885414
No, no it really doesn't. At least not episode 1, anyways.

>>12885414
Better than that Kaleidoscope bullshit

>>12885471
No, not really. The touhou anime at least had actual 2D animation and some shading on the characters.

>>12885496
Wow, you saw a single frame! Everything else must be 3D models, too. Well done Sherlock.

>>12885496
> actual 2D animation
You are just being ignorant.

Real Fubuki K2. Style looks in-line with Ayanami K2 as well.

>>12885512
I wouldn't be surprised; Shioi's endcard in Arpeggio ended up being her sprite too.
This means we can hope for a new kai 2 every week, right?

>>12885414
No, it actually looks pretty damn good.

>>12885530
Murakumo's name appeared in the equipment scene, so it's somewhat confirmed that she may appear in the anime.
That left Sazanami to be the only starter that hasn't gotten any hint or confirmation.

>main fleet
4CV2DD
>escorts
2BB1CL1CAV2DD
>route support
3CL3DD

I hope anime tie-in event would not have compass with similar requirements.

I can't get over how Fubuki salutes in the anime, it looks awful. Is that really how the IJN saluted?

>>12885583
Most characters salute that way in anime so I assume so.

>>12885583
yeah, they do.

If we get even 5% of the retards that are now jumping on this in /a/, these threads will make the english wiki and himeuta look like gatherings of highly respected intellectuals and scholars.

I really hope we get to see Prinz, Bisu and Akatsuki in the anime. They have time to put them in

>>12885718
>Akatsuki
She was already in. Unless you mean Akizuki, that's not happening, and neither are Prinz and Bisko.

>>12885718
They're probably gonna keep doing what they did in this ep and stick random kanmusu into establishing shots

>>12885713
They'll get more new autists than us.

>>12885732
Of course I mean Akizuki, I just brainfarted for some reason

>>12885738
You aren't the first who unconsciously writes "Akatsuki" when thinking about good DD.

>>12885736
I doubt they'd stick for long anyway, after getting stuck on something ridiculously easy like 1-4 they'll rage and stop playing.

>>12885748
I hope you're not suggesting that Akizuki, the first DD I'm going to marry, is not good.

>>12885583
Not all organizations salute like good ol' 'murrica.

>>12885748
But Akatsuki is good DD, one of the best.

>>12885755
>>12885763
I never claimed Akizuki isn't good. Both are great. However we knew Akatsuki longer so the mistake is only natural.

16 ppois this episode. Is this less or more than you expected, TTKs?

>>12885771
I hope you also haven't implied that Akatsuki is not good DD.

>>12885774
0.66 ppoi per minute. Pretty good.

>>12885774
Nightmare mode when?

>>12885776
You lost me anon.

>>12885774
I expected a bit higher ppm but this is good for a first ep.

>>12885774
A bit less, I was expecting at least 20.

>>12885786
>You aren't the first who unconsciously writes "Akatsuki" when thinking about good DD.

>>12885795
Follow the conversation. I implied she's good in that post. To the point where it isn't something one would question. In fact, she's my favorite destroyer.

>>12885348
>>12885354
It has already begun.
/a/ thread was full of "bout" shitposting. Jesus, I wish I could meet the guy who came up with that retarded maymay and beat the shit out of him with my bear hands.

>>12885893
What about "subs when" mene?

>>12885893
I was wondering where that ">boat" thing came from, since someone called me out on it once here and I didn't remember it was a thing. Think it either started in /a/ or from what I found in the archive.

https://archive.moe/jp/thread/12780584/#12783314

>>12885910
Boatsluts was a thing since C84, that's just a deviate.

>>12885929
Not him, but I don't remember this getting widespread uses. Probably one shitlord trying to force a meme.

Yup total of 11 hits on archive.

>>12885943
Him, and this.

I'm really glad the anime didn't start running the hungry Akagi meme into the ground.

>>12885971
Instead they are turning Kaga into autist who repeats the same phrase over and over.

>>12885974
This bothered me too, but it was just twice. I hope it's not a recurring thing.

>>12885971
I certainly hope it doesn't become over-the-top, but with that Mamiya special parfait, the joke's bound to be made one time or another. Hopefully "oh Akagi-san has this side to her as well" Fubuki monologue and we're done with that.

>>12885971
>meme
That's why.
Don't get me wrong, I am ok with it, but do prefer the more mature Akagi that we got.

>>12885983
Those two lines were the only thing she said in the whole episode.

>>12885983
Making a joke once or twice is perfectly okay. Repeating it over and over would be pretty bad though.

>>12885974
There have been a bunch of lines from the game, yeah, guess that's their way to introduce the characters.

>>12885989
No, she also complimented Akagi, and told Fubuki and co that they shouldn't be in the archery range without permission, but yes, it was a high percentage, and as I said, hopefully it won't be a recurring thing.

There's a million death flags all over akagi

Akagi jobs out to wo-chang midseries and everyone gets their K2s

Poi pois more after her upgrade into a gundam

I made a thing.

>>12886157
> Akagi
Please don't hurt my beloved.

>>12886197
Why not a webm?

>>12885943
It's because calling ships boats is funny, you joyless wanker.

>shitlord
Can't believe you have the audacity to try and call other people out on their language.

>>12886157
All because that fucking faggot Whobuki can't keep her stupid plain mouth shut about how great Akagi is. Her kai ni will require a special item you can only obtain by sinking your Akagi.

Forgot to loop it.

>>12886199
For compatibility reasons.

>>12886208
I hate to break it to you, but I don't think many (if anyone else at all) find it funny.

>>12886218
Akagi drops from 2-3 boss so I'll get a spare to sink at some point.

>>12886229
I for one find it a bit funny, gives me an occasional chuckle you know? As a milfag though it rustles me a bit inside. I'd just imagine a conversation starting like "So who's your favorite boat girl?" and it's enough to make me chuckle a bit.

>>12886208
It isn't funny.

>>12886237
Stop being 12
Seriously
It's against the rules

>>12886271
Why do you care? I just find it funny and that's it. I'm not gonna throw it around like some epic meme, at least not here, and besides I'd still prefer to refer them as warships.

>>12886229
>>12886245
joyless wankers the lot of you

went back to /a/ for the first time in years to see reactions of the first episode, and found out they still hate every little detail for no good reason. Dont know why I bothered.

>>12886352
I don't know why I thought things would be fine. I won't be able to talk about Kancolle for several weeks over there now.

>>12886352
>>12886376
Was it an /ak/ thread or was it just some general thread? The /ak/ threads were sorta accommodating, at least when GuP aired. /ak/ also has historical topics from time to time so bet it might be the place for discussing KC especially if you want historical tidbits thrown in.

>>12886376
It's always like that at first, trolls will give up soon. As for the amount of shitposting, it seems usual KanColle goers also do that to scare ofd newcomers and intend to stop when dusts settle.

>>12885774
Poi is the only thing this show did right.

>>12886352
A bunch of it is just a few dedicated shitposters, and about 2 or 3 yurifags spamming "suck it hetfags", the threads from a few hours ago where mostly positive/normal.

>>12886389
dedicated Kancolle threads, They where fine for a few hours after the HS torrent went up then the shitposters/trolls/yurifags came in force.

>>12886390
Especially when it's something incredibly popular and highly anticipated like Kancolle. Still, doesn't make the first couple weeks any less unpleasant.

>>12886408
Oh I'm going to have fun.

>>12886407
Ah, well it's expected if it's a dedicated thread. Most shitposters don't like military stuff so if it was in an /ak/ thread, it may have been a bit better. Then again an /ak/ thread isn't free of shitposts either. When GuP was airing, it would usually involved Shermans shitposting. I don't know how it would turn if it is KC this time but it would probably how abyssals are the USN, how the Zero was a shit plane than it was portrayed, etc.

>>12886407
Those threads on /a/ have always been terrible.

>>12886418
All of which are more interesting than "abloobloo why do people like this I don't like it"

>>12885095
It was a bug m8, they fixed it long ago.

>>12886424
Funny, when you try to initiate a topic involving historical events or info tied to the ship it would usually be met with "fuck off back to /k/" or some shit like that then they'll go back to the usual waifu/yuri circle-jerking shitposts or something like that.
Anyway have a sunken Bep.

>>12885763
>>12885776
>>12885819
Not him, but no she isn't good.

Maintenance tomorrow guys.

>>12886433
Oh I was talking about /ak/, not the /a/ kancolle threads. The /a/ kancolle threads are pretty single-minded that way.

>>12886439
God i wish the kimonos for Akashi and Ooyodo stuck around permanently.

>>12886445
They will gonna remove it anon. So screenshots them before they gone.

>>12886440
Well yeah I know I was talking about posting /k/ related stuff on an /a/ general thread. It's just that some idiot would also show up on an /ak/ thread and act like that, and same goes for k/a/ncolle thread only a lot more and worse.

>>12886439
やりました！

Do i need to make some sort of blood sacrifice to actually get Zuikaku? Well over 500 S-ranks of 5-2 and 5-4 boss nodes and still no drop.

>>12886543
You need to present turkey in front of your RNG altar.

>>12885943
The hell you talking about.
The term originated in /jp/ and has been used since forever. It is like you somehow miss all the 2hu vs boatsluts debate ever since they disrupted normal proceeding at comiket.

>>/jp/thread/S11239203#p11246694

The only retards here are the people going bonker using memearrow >boat whenever they see it.
Real life case of monkey see monkey do.

>>12886564

Nigga you expect me to read all that shag?

>>12885581
If it does that's going to be one hell of an easy event.

>>12886439
Just now.

>>12886543
>tfw I got both her and Shoukaku crafting one after the other
>tfw I wasn't even trying for either
She'll drop eventually, just keep at it.

>>12886639
What recipe? I have had shit luck with the ones I tried for 40x runs each using dailies on wikiwiki

>>12886661
I was bullshitting around with the standard carrier recipe and got jack shit at first, then I used 300/30/400/999 and got them both one after another.

I still think it was just sheer luck, but you're welcome to try if you like. I don't hold responsible for your resources.

I got mine just doing the standard carrier recipe a while back. I should probably level them up more, maybe I'll do it next event

You'll get her eventually

>>12886675
>>12886703
I am honestly just astonished I have not found her yet seeing as I started on TawiTawi when it opened.

>>12886543
That's some awfully bad luck, I have gotten over a dozen of both cranes in like 300 or 400 5-4 runs when I did ranking one month.

>>12886639
>>12886543
It also took me forever to get Zuikaku. I even got Taihou before her. Just keep at it and she'll show up eventually.

How is this shit possible? 20 times I have had to retreat before even meeting the boss.

>>12886869
Forgot to name my file, that's my fleet for 5-5.

>>12880890
Build Yamato and steamroll the map.(1BB, 1CA, 2CLTs and 2 CVs.)

>>12886869
Just use a fast fleet.

>>12886760
I got my Zuikaku first during one of my early LSC tries for Taihou. But, ever since joining Truk last August 2013, I only got Shoukaku just this last event.

I'm a mid-level TTK with 90 buckets. How many more buckets do I need to survive the upcoming Winter Event?

>>12886869
Holy shit man, why do you have a CV in slot 5? That spot's a crit magnet. Put Musashi or Taihou there instead.

>>12887007
150 is enough.

>>12887007
>Winter event
If we don't hear anything on twitter by the end of the month it ain't coming.

Which drop list is more accurate? The drop list chart, or the node-by-node drop lists in the sortie section?

>>12887007
If there is a winter event, it would be super easy to cater to all the anime fags that got sucked in.
Expect an easy event that any lvl10 TTK can clear.

>>12887053
And it will drop the previous Kagerou DDs and AA Directors!

>>12887061
How pissed would people who went through hell and back to clear E-6 be if Isokaze dropped in E-1?

>>12887063
I want Tokitsukaze.

>>12887063
Why would they be pissed? It's been like this for the past events.

>>12887063
Maybe not in E-1, but I NEED Isokaze,Myoukou did her best, but she couldnt do the job of the other 5 ships, so I forgive her.

That's some love right there.

>>12887123
>still hibki kai
That's really love.

>>12887174
The 4koma says that it's the right thing to do.

Clearly an authoritative source.

>>12886439
Why DMM, why? I want my new years poi forever!

>>12886869
Low level, and considering that low level, your support fleets are probably subpar too.

Go grind out more levels for both main and support fleets, and more equipment, especially Egusa 99.

Being too used to sparkling is scary.

>>12880870
Finally.

New to Kancolle here.
if World 1-5 is the best place to raise DD and CL
Then which World Map is the best place to raise all my CA?

>if World 1-5 is the best place to raise DD and CL

The the fuck people still think inflating your HQ level to level up DDs and CLs is a good idea? Even if they skip the boss node, it's a fucking waste.

Just clear up to world 3 and you unlock word 4 too, you can level up 2 CLs 1 DD easily on 4-3.

>>12886399
But she isn't kai 2.

>>12887366
Base poi > poi kai2

>>12887360
3-2-A
or 5-4

>>12887360
I use 3-3.

Red shells on BB for 5-2?

>>12886564
Pray tell, where in that linked thread does it say "boatslut"? "Boat" is merely silly and no self-respecting admiral would use that term, but calling your own girls sluts is reserved only for the most kuso of the kuzu.

>arguing over memes
Stop it you fucking morons, just call them whatever you want to call them.

>>12887527
People that use the term 'boatslut' are most likely more into the porn than the game

>>12887540
Wouldn't surprise me.

>>12887512
Red shells almost always and 5-2 isn't an exception unless you're somehow suffering from a lack of quality AA equipment on other girls.

Nice. 5-2 S rank.

>>12887560
Red shells do shit for me every time I try them.

I'm sticking to radars, thank you very much.

>>12887565
My favourite kind of bear.

>>12887568
Sucks to be you, then.

>>12887565
How the hell do I build a type32?
Either the recipes I saw on wikiwiki are a lie or they're rarer than large bulges.

>>12887533

raftwhores :^)
tubtramps ::^)
sloopts :^)
bargebitches :^)
fap tankers :^)

>>12887570
Not really, daytime double attacks have been nothing if not reliable for me. The extra small chance of proccing it because of the extra LOS helps a lot too.

>>12887577
Haven't tried it yet, but I was told Nagato flagship gives the most radars in general.

>>12887577
10/11/251/250 all day everyday, put the ship you love the most to make it

>>12887582
>fap tankers :^)
That should be semen tankers.

>>12887587
What if she's a destroyer? can she make large radar?

>>12887577
Desire sensor at work. I got 2 T32 before managing to craft a large torp bulge using the catch all recipe.

>>12887584
AP shells trigger both double and cut-in.
According to wikiwiki,

I know that much. But the extra 0.8% chance feels a lot more than just that for me. And the cut-in sucks whenever it procs, it might as well not proc at all. So effectively AP shell halves my chances of proccing.

>>12887618
Feels like we're back at square one.
> And the cut-in sucks whenever it procs
Sucks to be you, heh.

>>12887624
Not really, I never saw being able to equip red shells as any sort of advantage, so I didn't see the point of Nagato-class. Duplicate Kongous all the way.

>>12887624
This guy >>12887618
is like the only dude in the thread that always has a problem with red shells on BBs

Really sucks to be him, everyone else has gotten positive results from red shells.

>>12887618
>>12887628
Sounded like I was projecting real hard there, so I'll rewrite it.

Whatever works for you, heh.

>>12887629
'tis the most unfortunate that he can't reap the benefit of AP shells, but if his setup works for him, then more power to him.

>>12887629
Just like Stalker on /a/ who refuses to worship Kitakami because she keeps choking. No one else agrees with him.

RNG works in mysterious ways.

>>12887610
Just use Taihou and 20/20/250/250 and collect your radar explosion in addition to yamato plane.

>>12887577
Unryuu and 10/11/251/250. If no Unryuu then Taihou. If no Taihou then any CV and pray. Never do 20/20/250/250, it sucks and only adds Reppuu to the crafting pool while lowering the already low radar rate.

>>12887656
>>12887645

Wouldn't a BB be a better choice, so he doesn't get crappy planes?

>>12887656
>20/20/250/250
Not him but I have never once got Reppuu from that recipe.

I`m planning to get Shoukaku or Zuikaku
What`s the recipe for her?

>>12887685
4257, if you don't have Taihou yet.

>>12887685
A failed taihou.

>>12887662
BB probably adds bulges, I did those for about 3 months of dalies with Unryuu and I didn't get a single bulge, while other people were complaining about all the bulges they were getting instead of radars.

>>12887692
You mean 4255.2

post your favorite raft

Guys, I did it! I got in!

I set up the API thing right from the beginning which makes it really convenient too, no need for a proxy anymore. This is great, I'm excited, time for ship girls.

>>12887070
Go make a list of past final stage rewards and where they were easily farmable later. Surely everyone would like to know where they could've gotten a bunch of Yamatos and Musashis without spending resources on LSC.

>>12887725

Fuck you.

>>12887725
Have fun, don't you dare sink a ship.

>>12887726
Shinden Kai is still not farmable.

>>12887698
Might as well get them when you can, Large bulges are fucking rare.

>>12887735
Large bulges need 300 steel, I think

>>12887742
Oh oops. I didn't follow the conversation all the way through. May as well add that additional steel, though.

I really hope there will be an event next month, shit's boring.

>>12887750
Try doing challenge runs like clearing 5-5 through the drum route.

>>12887754
>clearing 5-5 through the drum route
Video please.

>>12887754
Not a reward for myself? I'll just drown myself in the bathtub.

>>12887758
I haven't done it.

>>12887764
A medal, 200 admiral points and probably the honour of being the only one on /jp/ to have done it.

Find it yourself, mang. I ain't your nanny.

>>12887944
3-3. I love that map.

>>12887944
1-5. Took me 30 runs, but I was taking it easy by going there for sub dailies.

>>12887944
1st kill from 3-3 boss fight (S-rank), but only after failing to get her from 50+ S-rank in 1-5. You might wanna hurry because in around 12 more hours (Maintenance is approaching) she will only drop in world 6.

Probably Akagi and Kaga, although it doesn't make sense that the dragons are placed first, even if they got their kai ni before the first cardiv

>200
Most likely another Ayanami. Shikinami perhaps?

>202
Probably Fubuki kai ni

>>12887944
3-5 second kill of the month.

AA cut-in is crazy. 4-4 pre-boss node, 2 Wo 2 Nu formation. Akizuki does her work, no attack planes left on every single carrier. The same sortie, boss node with 1 Nu, Akizuki cut-ins again, Nu is left with attack planes.
The fuck is going on?

>>12888006
She doesn't care about small fry that is below level of Wo Flagship or Kaga but she wanted to show off her cute butt to you anyway, therefore cut-in again.

3-2-A took fucking forever until I decided to stop being a neet there and head to 4-3.

>>12888026
Good job Reginleif.

>>12887944
I didn't care about kai2 and new girls now, Maybe I could finally retire from this game.

Damn i wasted too much ammo because i always spam World 1-5

How many days should i take a break /jp/?

>>12887944
Best map of choice to farm for her?
First time I am hearing about her being removed from the drop list.

I've been a bad teitoku and haven't played in a month or so but I got a new API link and updated KCV but it's trying to open an swf file instead of just running the game. Did they change something or is something just fucking up on my end?

>>12888031
Why the fuck are you spamming 1-5 at HQ29 ZetaSigrid?

>>12888033
1-5, 3-3.

>>12888037
Because i`m raising all of my DD`s i like.

>>12888031
I saw your name. Reported to DMM for being baka gaijin.

>>12888031
>[File deleted]
No chance for you now. RIP in peace, ZetaSigrid.

>>12888042
For what purpose? DD are weak and levels don't matter beyond the kai requirement

For 3-5 north route using 1BB 1 CAV 2CLT 2CV, what plane loadout should I use?

Seeing as the required air power is rather high, should I even try for superiority?

Nuts, Kancolle DB is still down?

>>12888063
I'd go for superiority on all nodes except Hoppo.

>>12888076
Hoppou

>>12888078
Hajime no Hoppo

So that's why she has the mittens

Mountaigumo, please drop

I now have 30+ type 3 sonars while trying to craft for type 3 depth charges. Recipe is 10/30/10/31 because 10/30/10/10 is yielding nothing.

Is there a better recipe for type 3 depth charges only?

>>12888111
I got plenty of depth charges from 10/30/10/10, in fact I have tons of them while I only have 2 sonars.

>>12888111
I have just one type 3 sonar and four type 3 depth charges, only 10/30/10/31. Gotta Kai those Makigumos because sonars are much better.

>>12888111
Why do you like type 3 depth charge with +8 AS when you can modernize type 93's in akashi's factory for hidden stat.

>>12888193
>>12888200
Oh damn, looks like I'll have to stick to what I'm currently doing.

Guys, this is bothering me for a while

If someone challenge me at the pvp, which fleet I would be using?
I know It's the first one, but I keep changing it from sortie to sortie
how the game knows how build up my team at the pvp ?

>>12888366
You don't actually fight anybody in PvP. you just fight what is essentially a ghost fleet when you pick someone from your PvP list.

>>12888353
I was talking about new TTKs spamming 1-5 for whatever reason, inflating their HQ levels and having to deal harder stuff while not having the proper ships/equipment.

I remember some guy who was proud because he reached HQ level 80 between a few days. That's just plain retarded.

>>12888370
>You don't actually fight anybody in PvP

but they have names, wifes and level
I'm pretty sure It's someone else

>>12888380
Oh boo hoo. Gaming being difficult is so fucking bad thing. If he wants to level his lolis, let him. There's nothing wrong with that as long as he's aware of it. Also, as long as you aren't fighting the boss you AREN'T inflating your HQ. Boss gives fourteen times more HQ exp than normal node in 1-5. And it's pretty much the same in every fucking map except for 1-1.
First three nodes of pre-HQ-80 1-5 are amazing for training fleet of 6 DDs.

>>12888366
It's the one from when he clicks to engage the battle. That's why sometimes you can fight different girls from what was announced if he was changing his fleet.

>>12888405
I like this mechanic, you can wait out fleet you don't want to battle. Like when I saw a guy who was clearly Isuzu farming, waited an hour and he went back to his high lv ships.

>>12884989
Anyone?

Do you guys refer more to the world-by-world sortie drop list or the excel table drop list in the wikia?

>>12888527
I know them all by heart. Using wiki is unwieldy and takes way too much time.

>>12888527
I refer to the wikiwiki reverse lookup table for rare shipgirls.

>>12888467
AA cut-ins.

Which subs am I meant to use when watching the new Kancolle anime?

>>12887645
50k steel/baux later:

4 type 14
7 Yamato plane

>>12888600
Iku. She's perfectly happy to stay under the desk instead of looking at the screen.

>>12888600
I-8, I-58, I-168, I-19.

>>12888600
Imuya. The best.

>>12888600
The answer is obvious.

>>12888405
>>12888412
Could you rephrase what you said?

>>12888612
>>12888614
>>12888616
>>12888618
You guys are amazing.

>>12888622
Your PvP opponents are assigned twice a day based on monthly rankings but the fleet you're fighting is current first fleet of said guy, updated constantly so it can be different at different times.

>>12888600
The official ones are generally fine.

>>12888600
There's nothing wrong with CR.
I thought you were asking about Orel fleet but didn't get why it would be any different from usual because of anime so in the end refrained from posting. Anyway, Hachi.

>>12888600

>>12888642
>nothing wrong
I hope this is supposed to be a non-educated guess?

>>12888697
I've been watching most of the shows every season since 2010, being very anal about quality, willing to wait weeks for better groups, spending dozens of hours on sites dedicated to the subject and in recent years there really is nothing wrong with CR's scripts. Differences between CR and CR edits are pretty small, most of people don't notice/care.
CR's definitely much better than some original translations. If you think "HorribleSubs" means horrible quality then you're uneducated one. But sure, go ahead and post me one or two examples from 300 lines episode without providing any significantly better alternative. You know why so many fansubbers quit? Because they weren't really able to improve much on CR's script and felt it isn't worth their time when professional subs are more than good enough.

Of course I'm not saying CR are perfect (nobody is and their 8-bit video or lack of typestting certainly suck) if that's what you were trying to nitpick on.

After the fifth Noshiro I almost gave up, but she's here. Finally.

>>12888600
CR has the most accurate subs, but removes most of the Poi and gets Хорошо wrong.

[Kantai] adds back all the Poi, but still gets Хорошо wrong, and changes one line for Kaga from " I won't give this place to anybody." to "I wouldn't trade this for anything." which is technically wrong but still seems scene appropriate. Has Karaoke-FX, others do not.

Commie gets Хорошо right, but subs Poi as "like". Commie a shit.

overall i think [Kantai] has the best subs if you like Poi and take 5 minutes to fix the Хорошо line and/or revert the line by Kaga.

>>12888730
>but removes most of the Poi
I watched HorribleSubs and poi was there. Maybe the deleted some of them but if that's the case, I didn't even notice because it's just a speech quirk, no need to include it all the time.

>>12888729
congrats. Take care of her.

>>12888730
What's wrong with the Хорошо? Can't handle the latin characters?

>>12888735
It was there the first time, but removed all the other instances of it i think.

personally i preferred it subbed even if it is a speech quirk.

>>12888729
Congrats, I wish she had dropped for me in Ironbottom.

>>12888763
CR translated it as Khorosho instead of in Cryllic.

>>12888764
Not the same anon, but tell me about it.
my E6 lasted for 50 runs in E5 but nothing.

Then I recently found this video and I was wondering how this TTK could handle the drop bullshit. I completely forgot that we still could have COMMON drop on a boss S rank.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm22328388

>>12888773
And?

>>12888721
I've got an exam tommorow so I don't really have time for that now, but I promise I'll make an effort and post you hopefully enough examples for you tommorow. I'm not saying HS is always bad by the way, just they handed this episode quite poorly.

>>12888796
I would appreciate that. This season I basically gave up on most of fansubbing groups considering their likelihood of stalling stuff indefinitely so I immediately grabbed HS for KanColle and didn't really check alternatives.

>>12888773
Are you saying that it should've been in a language that the target audience wouldn't even be able to read? Why translate to English at all?

I watched CR' and there were only a couple of parts where the TL felt a bit odd, but it was pretty solid otherwise. Not to mention the video quality for Kancolle is decent, too.

First time chiming in on this subject in this thread, by the way.

While we're at it, you should really get 1080p for KanColle.
http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/108038
Look at her mouth.

>>12888901
its more noticeable in the bottom right portion of her hair where it curls upward.

>>12888901
It looks exactly the same to me, though I'm pretty close to my screen.

>>12888901
You should get 1080p for CR shows anyway, since they get the masters from Japan.

>>12888914
1080p is sharper (mouth) and doesn't have as many artifacts (hair).

>>12888915
True but many shows are created in 720p and only upscaled before sending them to broadcasters, in such cases your player's upscaling of 720p might look similar or even a bit better than CR's 1080p while weighing less. But of course fansubbers who actually bother to encode the episodes provide the best video quality.

>>12888915
But anime is not made in 1080p, it's made in something close to 570p so it's going to be upscale either way.

>>12888960
>anime is not made in 1080p

Most are generally 720+ or something, but some are actually 1080p.

>>12888981
Do you know how many pixels A4 sheet is? That's the resolution anime is made in. Make the rest of the math yourself.

I want a special designated secretary ship slot so I can keep my waifu on the main screen at all time without having to take her on sorties where she could get reckt

>>12888957
Well I see absolutely no difference at all. The only times I could see a difference between CR 720p and 1080p is when one of them had issues, which was usually 1080p. Though in this case, I don't think it helps that the 720p cap is upscaled to 1080p, not that I can see a difference.

>>12888994
>I don't think it helps that the 720p cap is upscaled to 1080p
It had to be upscaled to make a proper comparison. Not to mention everyone is watching (or should be) anime in Full HD or higher resolution anyway so if you don't get 1080p, your player will be doing the upscaling. In the example here 720p screenshot was upscaled using good algorithms to make it fairer.

>Well I see absolutely no difference at all.
Get some monitor which is worth more than $150. Or stop watching anime on laptop's excuse of a screen. Normally - yes, CR's 1080p and 720p are basically the same. However the difference is very clear in this case, even on my U2312MH.

>>12888988
That's a great idea.

>>12889025
I have terrible eyes, I don't think an expensive monitor would help me at all.

What do you guys spend all that excess steel on? Min LSC? That costs a lot of bauxite as well and I want to pile that now.

I spent the last to weeks trying to get MC-chan. No success so far.

>>12889063
This shit apparently works all the time

>>12889057
Min LSC max steel. Min regular building, max steel. Min crafting, max steel. Pick your poison.

>>12889057
5-5 with hotels.

>>12889069
That's absolutely pointless though, isn't it? If I'm just wasting it, I might as well let it overspill.

>>12889071
You can remove the excess with some large blge attempts, or if you're quite efficiently building up ammo, 46cm.
min LSC is quite pointless because it won't give anything worthy considering the other resources usage.

>>12889081
mry is not that useless. I got 8 so far.

>>12889083
Maxing luck is incredible waste of resources and completely pointless besides dickwaving.

>>12889122
What else is one supposed to do with resources?

>>12889122
Maxing your shipfu's luck isn't pointless.

>>12889125
Something actually useful.

>>12889122
Say that next time when ktkm-sama fails to cut in on BB hime

>>12881112

It's no different than any other management sim really.

>>12889128

DAYO!

>>12889159
I wish this was like a VN where we could mute some voices.

>>12889122
I could do about 2 min LSC every day. Instead of wasting resources because you hit the cap, at least aim for more Maruyu.

Started playing the game two days ago.

I love Kuma so much.

Kuma nendo when?

>>12889183
Good man. Treat her to some honey.

>>12889025
My monitor shows barely any difference. Not that it matters, since I see no difference on the TV either which is where I watch. And even that barely matters since I tend to get artifacts in the video if I watch 10bit 1080p movies.

Still not sure if it is driver related, or USB top speed limited (or in the past, wifi speed limited), or what the cause is. I just know I hate 10bit 1080p for being the worst quality ever.

>>12889208
Connect your TV to PC so you can use it as monitor, all problems solved. And CCCP is all you need.

>>12889221
That is my old solution. Since years back I instead use a HTPC with ubuntu running XBMC. First with wifi, and now with USB connection to my anime storage.

Should possibly move over movies before playing them though. Not entirely sure which data rate a 1080p movie needs these days.

I have a Heavy Carrier that throws out a plane at the beginning of every fight and it says DOWN in red.

What's it doing?

>>12889282
> Heavy Carrier
Who is this?

>>12889291

Whoops meant Heavy Cruiser. It's Tone.

>>12889256
>which data rate a 1080p movie needs these days.
5mB/s at bare minimum.
>>12889282
Read the fucking wiki.

>>12889282
The wiki is your friend, anon.
The scouting failed. Look up Scouting Planes / Artillery Spotting.
"Success increases accuracy and evasion.
Failure prevents participation of allied planes in the aerial combat phase."

>>12889308
> mB/s
> millibyte per second

>>12889282
I'd recommend reading the whole "Combat mechanics" part of the wiki. There are also some fantastic guides on multiple forums that go in-depth with the combat mechanics.

>>12889318
Get the fuck out.

I still don't understand how the practice missions work.

My levels were 4, 7, 5, 4, 4
Two Light Cruisers, a Heavy Cruiser, a Sub and two good Destroyers.

They had mostly Destroyers. Three were at level 1. Two levels twos and a level 5.

And I end up getting fucked and missing most of my shots or doing piss-poor damage.

>>12889334
What formation did you use?

>>12889334
More like you don't know how RNG works.

>>12889326
Elucidate.

>>12889334
They work like any other battle. Weak fleet kicked your ass? You've either used wrong composition or/and got fucked in the ass by RNG. Welcome to Kancolle.

>>12889334
You just suck.

Are you looking forward to the massive influx these threads will get, now that the anime started?

>>12889355
Most normies avoid /jp/ like fire. I don't think you'll see more crossies than usual.

>>12889338
>>12889348

Was the normal line formation.

>>12889355
It's only picked up a tiny bit more than usual, and will probably stay more or less around this level since the majority of viewers won't actually pick up the game.

That and the next event will wipe everything clean.

>>12889355
I'm looking forward to retards getting stuck at 1-4 or something ridiculously easy like that, their despair is hilarious when they haven't seen shit yet.

>>12889382

muh sekrit club

>>12889392
I just can't comprehend how can you get stuck on something you can clear with 3 DDs.

>>12889382
Someone I know got into kancolle a few days ago and already sunk 2 ships at 1-4.

It's hilarious and disgusting at the same time.

>>12889419
Why didn't you teach him how not to sink ships? Now he'll be kuso forever.

>>12889419
How is that event possible?

>>12889382

I'm new but how do people get stuck?

Don't you just pull out whenever you're red? Eventually you'd be strong enough to steamroll anywhere you might be too weak to handle. Just takes time.

>>12889424
That was one of the first things I told him, besides reading the wiki.

He's just a kuso, I regret helping him.

>>12889433
Nowadays casual gamers claim they're stuck when they can't progress in three tries. Not like the good old times when beating 4 hours game took weeks.

>>12889464
What's the point in playing then? Without effort you wouldn't be able to catch fish out of the pond.

>>12888635
There's no official subs.

>>12889486
Looking at this again, it'd be quite the little chuckle if instead of the menus reading "Menu" they were the text of the home screen buttons in Japanese.

Also Ri's eye never did sit well with me.

>>12889486
>>12889614
My issue with this image isn't the attitude, it's that Kancolle isn't even close to a "hardcore" game nowadays. After gauge regen disappeared it's the most casual thing ever. The only one ripping through shit are the shipgirls, you're just sitting there watching them.

>>12889638
I have Exp 36 with 50 minutes left. Hope I can get it going again before maintenance hits.

>>12889733
Pretty much. Events mean nothing. The only thing to evaluate how "hardcore" one is at Kancolle is ones rank in their server at the end of the month, or better yet the amount of money they spent on it. Even then, these two things are far from making the game hardcore. I'd like to see where these "hardcore gamer" elitists stand in those two aspects, anyway.

Running 15/35 for bauxite, and 23 because I finally got a ship to 50.

11 is better for baux for this server's downtime then go on to spamming 6.

If you guys are trying to act "hardcore" in a web based game, then you are clearing playing the wrong game to do that, nothing else to add.

>>12889779
I'll be asleep by the time downtime is over so 15 is perfect for when I wake up. 11 and 6 I do normally.

>>12889780
I'm not trying to. i'm saying >>12889486 is the one, in your words, trying to act 'hardcore," and it's pretentious as fuck to do so. Everyone here knows it's a casual browser game, so why do we have a picture that tries to pretend this game is anything close?

>>12889780
No, I'm supporting exactly what you are saying. Look a few posts above to see the actual crowd of "hardcore gamers" acting elitist about it, as well as that retarded image.

Oh, ok then, sorry that I said that to you guys. Stil, I always tought that image was meant to make fun of those kind of guys.
Right now Im having probleims with 3-5 since yesterday, so Im actually kinda salty right now

>>12889783
You said that but only 15% of the playerbase cleared the whole event.

guys! guys I did it!
my first kai ni!!

I'm so happy that I could hug my computer right now

Okay, what are some objective measurements on how devoted to the game you are, that can easily show the difference between someone who actively plays kancolle for 10-12 hours a day and the one who idles mindlessly?

>>12889825
15% got lucky, thats all, not "hardcore" nor skilled players, thats the whole point.

Now marry her, TTK, and your life shall be complete.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>luck
No.
The only thing that separate them is time not luck.

>>12889838
You do have to be pretty hardcore to keep trying after dozens of fails. Especially in current times, in browser game. HP gauge is pretty effective in diminishing luck factor.
