>>12974875
translate it weebs

The irony is that janny won't delete this.

>>12974881
Not like it ever matters to the militant shitposter. He'd make a new thread within 5 minutes. Bans when?

>>12974881
There is literally no reason to delete it.
Old thread is autosaging so we deserve a new one.

>>12974878
Event will started after MT finished on 6 February.
There will be new SS, CV, and Training cruisers.

>>12974886
You don't "deserve" a new one. You have the ability to make a new one, sure. But since the old thread is perfectly serviceable, and it's a long-ass general thread for a game, you should respect convention and not make new threads each time the old one 404s. If everyone was as selfish as you we'd be ass deep in monster girl threads.

>>12974965
You seem to have something against Monster Girls.
How did they ever hurt you? Just hide their threads.

>>12974965
Go and preach to the babymetals.
We don't care about your autism.

>>12974973
>You seem to have something against Monster Girls. How did they ever hurt you? Just hide their threads.
I have nothing against them. I was congratulating them for keeping their shit in one thread and using them as a positive example. Please read posts before you respond to them.

>>12974999
Right now there's only one Babymetal thread, and idol threads generally fill up with images so they're incapable of using the old thread except in a crippled state.

>>12975036
They're just keeping the chain unbroken, alright? Long ass general or not, when a thread's hit it's bump limit it goes down fast enough even on a slow board like this.

>>12975136
>a thread's hit it's bump limit
英語でおｋ
His point is that if there was one retard such as you in their threads, there would be 8 or 9 monster girl threads in the index. I know that you know that, but I'm just pointing it out for any idiots who might take you seriously.

I love this game.

Sorry, it's been a long day having to deal with people whine about new generals every time on every other board and I keep forgetting how they're dealt with everywhere.
Anyway.

What's gonna be the difficulty of the February event, another breather like the Fall event?

>>12975263
Given the rewards I think it might be even easier, arpeggio-tier one.

>>12975286

>we'd be ass deep in monster girl threads.
I've got some news for you.

>>12975269
Arpeggio only gave one sub. Now we're getting another, an Unryuu like at Midway, and a practice cruiser who might fill a role similar to Akashi. Who knows if there will be trophy destroyers, but it's also supposed to be medium sized, so 4 or 5 maps. It doesn't sound like they're going easy on us just because the anime's airing.

>>12976133
The training cruiser will be EXP Akashi for all the new players to play catchup with?

Anyone have the stat image for the last comiket? The one detailing how many circles per series were attending, I wanted to check how kankolle was doing in regards to everyone else.

What's most optimum main gun setup for BBs? Are Kongous capable of using 41x2, or should I use 35.6+41?

>>12976671
x2 main + seaplane + radar

>>12976676
How about the weight penalty?

>>12976680
No one knows how the overweight works, so I'd say yes, you can use 41cm in the kongou class. Also I forgot to mention that x2 main + ap shell + seaplane is also a valid setup

>>12976694
Not even 2ch or futaba knows? Damn that sucks. Anyway, thanks.

>>12976704
Stop listening to retard. Everyone knows, he's just an imbecile. 2x46 is fine on kongos.

Based on circle.ms:
Kancolle: 1840 / 2267
Touhou: 1744 / 2094

1st number doesn't count lottery slots / 2nd number includes everything.

>https://webcatalog-free.circle.ms/Search
Tick the genre and search.

Is something up with the dmm website? It's fucking slow and doesn't seem to load properly now.

How much better/worse would this game be if 'sortie in red' protection were removed and ships could sink instantly?

>>12977494
No one would play anymore. Have fun getting your ships randomly focused and/or critted red.

It could work with less RNG, but currently it'd be a disaster.

>>12977334
That would be awful.

Wasn't there a glitch on summer event where a guy lost a destroyer because it appeared as light damage but in reality it was red?

>>12977521
Meant to >>12977494

>>12977521
It was almost certainly a moron who said "8/32, looks orange to me!" and kept on trucking.

>>12977512
It'd become a paranoia party where every fleet would sortie with five repair crew.

I would even pick up the game again.

>>12976694
There's a table on the weight penalty. tl;dr 46cm + anything starts missing more often. 46cm + more of itself misses MUCH more.

46cm+ 35 is when you can get the accuracy drop to acceptable levels. 46 + 41's is not so good.

41's + anything not 46's doesn't hurt accuracy much.

Am I fucked with my resources?

>>12978374
2/5/3 ya babby

How much bucket do you think is alright for HQ level 50-60~? Regarding the next week event.

>>12978445
just spam 2 like normal

>>12978445
300 min.

>>12977986
Do levels help to mitigate this? All my BBs are 99+ so I wonder if I can get away with 2x 46cm.

Also, wasn't even the 3x 46cm penalty around 10%?

>>12978583
2x46 had roughly the same accuracy as 2x35,6. He's lying.

Just got Fousou as my second battleship, so I replaced the Maya in my first fleet. Where should I got from here? Right now I'm just farming 2-2 for battleships.

>>12978606
You should stop being retarded.

>>12978606
Play the game as you like.

The only hard and fast rule is never to advance in red. Nothing is worth that.

>>12978606
That should be a decent fleet for 2-4, just keep grinding until they're remodeled and see what you get along the way. Also a general rule is to put your carriers at the bottom of the fleet. In the second shelling phase and in night battle the firing order is top down, but she won't be able to launch planes at night or if she's damaged so you're just letting the enemy get a hit in first.

>>12978628
oh crap, I put her there to give her flagship protection.
any fleet composition recommendations?

二月上旬の開催を目指して、現在「艦これ」冬イベント：期間限定海域【迎撃！トラック泊地強襲】の実装準備を進めています。全ての準備が整えば、【2/6(金曜日)】実施予定のメンテナンス完了を以て、「艦これ」冬イベを開始させて頂く予定です。同開催期間は約二週間を予定しています！
#艦これ

>>12978645
In general
Weakest ship as flagship
Strongest ships in descending order
Carriers at bottom

>>12978693
gotcha
Should I be mixing the ship types I'm using or just spam BB's and a CVL or two?

>>12978716
Most maps can be tackled with BBs and CVs, including all early maps except that newfangled 1-5 contraption.

Branching rules come later. You'll need a more diverse set of ships for them.

>>12978693
Flagship = ship that you want to level
Then the order should be from strongest to weakest
Can even put carrier at the top if you know you wont be doing night batol.

>>12978732
1-5 is just 2 DD/CLs+2 anything HQ80 anyway

What's the second column? first is guns, third is misses, fourth is FP and fifth is AA

>>12978865
What are the three different sections, beige grey and red.

>>12978867
Yellow is Kongou, blue is Nagato and red is Yamato.

>>12978865
its hit

>>12978775
Personally I just stick to 46x2 on everything(46x3 in support) and haven't noticed many accuracy problems. For the most part you're using double attacks or cut-ins which both seem to have some kind of accuracy bonus.
The late-model DD are the only thing that come to mind and they seem to evade everything except line ahead torpedoes.

Am I ok for next event? I'll get 400 buckets for sure, just dont know if I should bank on more or just stall here with leveling sorties

>>12978381
I can't seem to get a good rate of success on any of the expeditions

>>12978999
You'll be fine.

>>12979195
Do you even read the requirement for expedition in the wiki? if you don't fulfill the requirement they will always fail and if fulfill it they always succeed.

>>12979195
You might be mentally handicapped.

>>12979195
Read through the wiki and it will fix pretty much all your problems.

Alternatively, you can adventurously throw fleets into expeditions, flying blind and keeping notes of what works and what doesn't like it's June 2013 and nobody knows anything (wait it's been a year and a half? where the fuck has the time gone christ what am i doing with my life)

>>12979206
You are in this forever.

>>12978999
Didn't they say it would be about the same diffuculty as the last fall event? If that's the case 20k and 70 buckets is enough.

>>12979260
They didn't say a single thing about difficulty. And your lucky RNG run doesn't mean shit, this time you might as well get critted at second node of E1 ten times in row.

I'm trying to farm 3-2 but the flag never gets MVP even when proccing double attack, it's always one of the CVLs or CLTs I'm bringing along. Is this supposed to happen or am I doing it wrong?

>>12979304
>CVL
Depends on the planes.
>CLT
Yes you're doing something wrong.

>Try carrier LSC for the first time hoping to get some CV since i only have akagi from quest reward.
>Give me another akagi.
It almost like it deliberately fucking with me.

>>12979310
I have Chitose kai and Chiyoda kai with nothing but type 97 torpedo bombers in every slot. For CLTs I tried bringing them along because I thought they'd be less likely to steal MVP than a carrier. I originally tried 4CVL/SS/Flag but always one of the CVLs took it.

>>12979323
Don't use blues, use reds.
I run Flag/4CVL/SS
I usually run x2 Suisei and x2 Radar on my CVLs.
But experiment with different comps to find out what works best for you.

>>12979321
>Complaining about a single LSC attempt.
Come back when you hit 100 tries.

>>12979328

is there a reason why CVL instead of CV? and why radars instead of more planes?

>>12979347
Do you know how MVP works?

>>12979328
I just tried it. Managed to get flag MVP once, but everyone else kept fucking up and got torpedoed.

>>12979353

Yes.

>>12978775

this is worthless if this was tested on 1-1 enemy ships

>>12979521
Pretty much everything related to damage and accuracy is tested on 1-1 or 1-5 for the sake of consistency, where else would you test that without taking years?

How do I remove ships from my fleets?

>>12979763
The top option in the change ship menu. 1st fleet flagship must always be occupied.

Is this the toudai student that spent thousands of shekels on LSC?
Is he still playing kancolle?

The old thread is on page 9. That is where you start to think about making a new thread. Learn that, you shitty crossies.

>>12979869
>an attourney
>stock trader
Uni student was just one of the several things he called himself. Probably just a pathological liar working on a wage.

And yeah he's still playing.

How big of a jump is the difficulty for the first level scaling point in events?

>>12979930
Don't quite follow what you're asking, but if you're wondering how difficult event maps are, E1 is usuallly new TTK-friendly, while anything after that is dependent on the event.

>>12979956
He most likely means jump in difficulty between pre-40 and 40-79. No reply from me because when Fall event started I was already above 60. Actually, I'm not sure if anyone will be able to help here, 90% of the thread are 99+ with quite many reaching high hq before scaling was introduced.

>>12979930
>>12979985
Ah I see what you mean now.

Don't have first-hand experience, but looking at the reports on wikiwiki, a lot of the differences are in carrier use. The lower-tier enemy composition generally have less air power.

Otherwise, enemies has less upper-rank units (more elites, less FS) or numbers, less heavy-hitters.

>>12980020
The main difference is boss nodes. Hoppo had only 2 destroyers as escorts for low level trash for example.

>>12980102
Pre-boss nodes as well.
FS Wos sometimes disappear and replaced with Elite or FS Nus, FS CAs and DDs nerfed, etc.

>>12980117
That shit barely matters compared to such severe boss node nerfing. Having only 3 enemies at boss node instead of full orbs/gold Ri package turns the whole map into complete joke.

Here's what I was meeting at nodes:
A, C, D, D, G, I of Fall 2014 E2.
(other nodes had two patterns as well but I only got D)
http://imgur.com/XCTU8DI,3tlRCCj,eyxteaa,m1tZNK4,QMrj3yY,hMyt1Ix
I heard high lvl TTK had elite subs or better classes of LM DDs.

>>12980126
>boss node nerfing
Up to a certain point. Anywhere past the midway event map don't appear to be as forgiving for lower-level TTKs at least the past few events.

>>12976351

my fucking sides top kek.

>>12980137
How far does one usually need to get to obtain the cool event ships?

>>12980609
As of late, the last map usually rewards some crappy trophy DD. The cool event ships come before that, if they come at all.

>>12980609
The early maps usually have something good, like I-19, Akashi, Ooyodo, and Akizuki. Lately there's been a trend of the final map giving jack shit despite being a massive jump in difficulty, so you don't even need to clear the thing to get the good stuff. They mention the sub the most, so if I had to guess I'd say she'll be the main reward from the 2nd to last map, Katori from one of the early ones, and Amagi in the middle.

Hi, is there a way to change your name in this game? I just got back to playing but I've stopped using the name that's registered in the game.

>>12980639
>>12980633
Interesting. That gives me hope I might get some of das booty after all.

As far as the HQ scaling, I am grinding less to stay under 40, but, do the event maps reward substantial HQ exp? I would kinda be sad if I failed enough that I made it to the next difficulty.

Been playing for two weeks and somehow have all four kongou sisters now. Still no nagato or mutsu though.

>>12980769
fuck off kcvshitter

Did DMM do away with the 500 free points with a CC registration? I don't seem to see it anywhere.

>>12980781
It worked for me last week. I just followed the instructions on the wiki.

>>12980769

Well, as per the advice yesterday, I ground out kitakami to kai ni. Hopefully did not inflate my HQ that much given the relative levels of everything else, but it sounds like she really is that good for the event?

Do I need to give her more than one mini sub, or is there other equipment that would be better?

>>12981007
No, you'll only need one mini-sub.
The ideal setups usually appear to involve two red guns and 1 sub.

>>12981014
Nigger what? SUPERKTKM-SAMA demands 2 torpedoes.

>>12981014
>Torpedo Goddess
>Red Guns

>>12981007
typically CLTs get either a mini sub+torpedox2 or mini sub+red/yellowx2 if you wanna be conservative and get night cut-ins. super ktkm-sama has a fuckton of luck so the former is preferred over the later for her.

>>12981007
Having her can help, but it won't matter if you don't have good ships to support her.

As for the equipment, 1 Type A + 2 61 Quint Oxygen Torpedo is all you need.

>>12981007
she will be your main source of damage, as for the setup you can go with either DA (double secondary) for versatility or CI (double 53cm oct torp) to kill bosses

>>12980972
Relax, 2-5 is a comfy map. CA(V) for the win.

>>12981007
she will be your main source of damage, as for the setup you can go with either DA (double 15.5 triple) for versatility or CI (double quint torp) to kill bosses. Always with a hyoteki

lewd.

>>12981038
>don't have good ships to support her.
Well, she currently outlevels the next best in my fleet by about 20 levels, but she sounds effective at least.

>>12981007
Any more than a single minisub, and she won't get a night battle cutin. 1x Minisub, 2x Torpedo. Ccraft her a set of quints, and you'll never want for night battle damage again.

>>12981169
>Ccraft her a set of quints
Grinding another Kitakami to 50 is cheaper.

Scrap Ooi. Replace Fubuki with Kitakami as main character.

There, I just made the anime good.

>>12981189
Scrap the entire scenario and all the character designs, let Hetza create everything from scratch and make his edgiest dreams come true. Perfect.

>>12981189
behead those who insult fubuki

Anyone have a good fleet comp for the 3-1 mission with Nenohi, Hatsuharu/shimo, and Wakaba? I'm also using Kitakami and Iku, but I'm still struggling to get an S rank

>>12980906
Not him but I have used it for a year now. It works fine and is very helpful.

>>12981244
It's an us vs them mentality. It contributes nothing and means nothing. They do it solely for the conflict.

>>12980929
The fuck are you talking about? Today alone I got 20+ buckets. And that without even sparkling the fleet.

>>12981250
Oh I see. What is the other side in this case? (Just wondering)

>>12981264
Sanaechan/VPN/Authentic Nippon IP address

>>12981268
I see. Thank you kindly, anon.

I'm a shitter newbie who just did his second LSC attempt and got Akitsu Maru, is she useful for anything?

>>12981314
Last event she was a godsend, but her uses are very niche. Her Kai remodel gives you some useful night battle gear to throw onto some light carriers.

>>12981324
>night battle
You mean ASW.

>>12981221
Use a CV or BB?

>>12981314
Good for has sexears service

>>12981314
she comes with a miniboat that gives a % increase in gains from expeditions so she can be slotted in as a filler on long ones. Don't do that on the 2 hr or under ones though, most of those don't give enough for you to gain more than you'd have to pay back refueling her

Wow. When I was at HQ 97 my PvP opponents usually were 110-120/99/99/99/104-105, never 100+ in the middle. Now at HQ98 they are 110/104/104/101/106. I guess that's it for easy exp outside of subs.

So if I am reading the twitter right, there is a lotto today. I would assume they plan to announce the time of it soon?

>>12981556
Check around mid day jap time.

>>12981489
PVP isn't hard. If you actually equip your girls properly and substitute as needed, it's easy EXP no matter what kind of fleet you go against.

>>12981489
PVP is assigned based on ranking points, not your HQ level.
You will always get 4gys same rank with you and 1top dude.

>>12981748
I'm not so sure, I never got TTK of lower level than mine in past three months. I can agree it is dependent on rank because I often see my PvP opponents next to me in ranking but there must be other conditions. I started January with sweeping 1-5 and 2-5 but still didn't get a single 100+ TTK in three middle spots despite being in top500. Also it's always #1>#5>#2-4 in terms of HQ level.

>>12981775
I'm TTK99 and a couple days ago got a TTK48 that somehow made it into Vice Admiral rank.

>>12981775
It just means your server is sleeping and all the veterans are taking a break while the newbies are filling in the top500

I'm not sure if stuff like >>12982088 is elitism or trying to fit in. I would bet on latter.

>>12982125
The irony is, the /a/ thread is actually more jaypee than /jp/ itself.

>>12982106
I'm implying there is a large influx of new players who refuse to read the wiki and shit up threads with questions that can be answered with very little effort on their part.

>>12982134
I end up having both open though /a/ seems to get plagued more with the

>American ships when
>Abyssals are Americans
>History arguments of IJN vs USN

>>12982136
That anon asked a question which isn't answered on the wiki did you fail to read that?

>>12982143
Those aren't /a/ exclusive, though. The thread here also sometimes contains those stuffs, especially the third, though you won't see it often like in that place.

>>12982157
oh yeah I know that it's unbearable wherever it happens

Hello, is anyone else having a problem loading any of dmm's stuff? Tried getting new api for the month and can't even get into the game.

>>12982231
Sort of, if I open my ships in the fleet menu or modernization menu their picture will be missing. Nothing as extreme as what you are having, you could try the cookie method

I followed the tuturial through and made an account on DMM, now, I have a question...

Apparently there is going to be a lottery within a couple hours, I went ahead clicked the red button, filled out the form and I'm being taken to the server list, rather than the cat image that tells you to refresh.

Am I still up for the upcoming lottery or I fucked up and made an account too early?

>>12982273
I did the exact same thing, I made a new account

>>12982277
So you need to make an account whilst the lottery is in progress and not before?

>>12982273
the server listing is the last step. when the lotto opens, refresh that every 3-5 minutes. when a server opens up, click it. you now have a boats account.

>>12982273
Is the server list full?
If you can click any of the server that has spot it means you are in.

>>12982273
Are the servers full?
If they are getting to the server list just means you are ready to go once the lottery comes up. When I got in on Monday I got through immediately. Just remember to set your computer time to GMT +9 before the lottery.

>>12982288
>>12982292

What i'm trying to get at is... I made my account about an hour ago around the time the new tweet surfaced. Is my account obsolete because it was made too early out lottery time, or if that is irrelevant (I don't know how nips do this stuff).

>>12982306
So that means once the lottery starts I just gotta connect? Seems way too easy....

>>12982313
No. you'll be fine.

>>12982313
almost looks like top right is open right now, might want to check that. But yes, that's all there is to it, it seems a lot more intensive when you read it on the wiki.

>>12982313
>Seems way too easy....
Pretty much. And success at first refresh is quite common now, so actually that lottery thing isn't scary at all.

>>12982317
>>12982324
>>12982329

Much obliged /jp/

>almost looks like top right is open right now, might want to check that.

Yeah I noticed that too but there's still a red sign, clicking does nothing so I assume I'm okay if I refresh every 5 minutes from this moment onwards.

>>12982313
kanoya best server name, all others shit

>>12982343

>>12982333
I you're presented with the servers screen and still can't join any of the servers, that means the lottery ended.

>>12982333
you've got a few hours to go before you need to be refreshing, the lottery starts at 1630 in Japan time. There will be white area on the end of the server population bare instead of the grey like in your screencap.

>>12982333
Well you can keep refreshing every 5 minutes if you want, but over 40 of those will be a waste. Lottery opens at 16:30 JST. Don't bother refreshing until shortly before that.

Also check the twitter, as they might say refresh every 10 mins rather than every 5.

:^)

>>12982136
Really now. And page 1s/radar/resource dickwaving isn't shitting these threads up?

Doesn't matter, got B rank :^)

>>12982508
Who's the MVP?

>>12982520
Nagara, she scored a cheeky blooter at torpedo phase on Tsu but got torpedo'd to red in the process.

>>12981906
>SUPER KTKM-SAMA going to get benched?
>just leveled her

Please, no.

>>12982550
ktkm can be a legit antisub girl--i use her on 1-5. its just not her forte.

To think all my fake posts as Tanaka-san turned out to be real...

>>12982550
You want Ooyodo and Yuubari
And if they are going with the history angle, it is a CL/DD events with AA support so you would need carriers as well.

Let's night battle.

My game keeps crashing for some reason. It's never done this before. Does anyone know what might be causing it?

>>12982595
>Yuubari
Dang.

>>12982632
With kancolle, sometimes the solution is just to wait a few hours and see if the problem fixes itself.

>>12982639
eugh. I don't want to miss my pvp

>>12982643
get a new API link
clear cache
wait
pvp lasts 12 hours if you miss that then its your own fault

>>12981896
>all the other uboats were I types
What? Only two out of over a thousand of them are type I.

>>12982898
only two? U-181/I-501, U-195/I-506, U-219/I-505, U-862/I-502. Most that went under IJN control were rebranded as I.

>>12982932
I mean actual German submarines, not those sold/given to Japan.

>>12982940
alright since clearly something was lost here, context of twitter post is 'a submarine born in a foreign land and raised in japan', with an earlier post this week saying 'the new sub is not an I type'. So only IJN's uboats matter

>>12982958
Ah shit, I missed the "日本育ち" part, disregard what I said early.

Brunei here, is anyone else having connection issues?

I need to punish RJ somehow, I gave her 2 low level red planes for 3-2A and she still manage to snatch MVP from my flagship.

>>12983022
Put it in her butt

>>12983022
take the scroll away and make her use her other flight deck

>>12983023
>>12983030
Now Junyou is doing it. I'll punish them both and and only give them one plane

>>12983045
If I'm trying to grind someone, and someone else takes MVP, I generally don't resupply that ship until they stop taking MVP. Eventually their damage will be blunted enough that they're effectively out of the running.

>>12983022
She just wants you to praise her.

>>12983022
That's just RJ's way of telling you she should be the flagship. Junyou was also doing the same thing to me so I just made her flagship. Makes it a pain to level the Kongou sisters though.

Can someone explain this to me? Are the Girls huge, or are the Battleship parts just really Small? Are they remote control airplanes, or are there actual pilots in them? If so, wouldnt that make the girls upwards of 400 feet tall? how do they even build buildings that large?

If the girls are normal size, why dont they build actual boats and just ride on them, instead of their boat-shoes?

>>12983148
You try dodging shots in a big ass boat.

>>12983148
Read the wiki.

>>12980781
Worked for me today.

Ok folks it seems like I made it on my first refresh, last question... can I just leave this game running for a couple hours in the background without any repercussions?

I woke up early for this and I'm really tired so I'd like to get back to bed.

>>12983182
Yes, if you're on a laptop you can hibernate the laptop, bring it somewhere else, turn it back on and reconnect it to a different network and go right on playing with no repercussions.

>>12983182
Don't.
Check your cpu usage with the game running it is freaking high.

>>12983189
Thank you once again

>>12983193
No issues on my end for now, idling at 2~4% on my laptop

>>12983096
I'll praise her through doujins later

>>12983197
I want to praise RJ too.

>>12983189
If the game page doesn't do any page refresh, that is. The main page does that for neglect line, hourlies, etc. Other pages like formation page or glossary don't.

>>12983196
anyone got a version of this with the extra angle replays? oo! yodo optional

>>12983208
>>12983196
Yeah, the main screen, construction screen and dock aren't safe in that fashion, since they have timers and announcements.

Every other page is basically fine, though. You can even take a break at the formation screen or in the gap between day and night battle.

>>12982607
fuck off EOP shitter
you are worse than the chinks

I didn't realize that my old account get passed the lottery. Now my question is, is having two accounts worth the risk? I mean I would play it in VPN only.

>>12983259
enjoy ur ban

>>12983262
If only so i would get free from this hell.

>>12983259
Nobody will ban you for lend some one your pc. They just scare some pussy chink who tried sell account

Hope Isokaze's an event drop so I can end this nightmare.

>>12983284
Ha ha yeah right. Shoulda got gud when you had the chance.

>>12983305
Don't kid yourself, nobody gets good in Kancolle. You're exactly as shitty as he is.

But yeah, Isokaze should stay exclusive for longer.

What's the best setup for Myoukou cut-in?

>>12983357
Reading the wiki.

>>12983357
4 torpedoes. There is no way to get proper torpedo cut-in with artillery spotting.

>>12983357
x4 drums.

>>12983357
x4 53cm oct torp

>>12983357
x4 Searchlights

>>12983357

No problem, bro, may you enjoy your exploits.

Same here. I honestly can't imagine my Kancolle without KCV anymore.

>>12981896
>Ro-500
>Ro-501
What kind of nicknames would they have?
>inb4 501 will be a /pol/ joke

>>12983400
Ktkm is still queen of the night by a miles. Myoukou is like between yukikaze and ktkm.

>>12982958
None of the I-500 or Ro-500 subs were "raised" in Japan though

>>12983472
>by miles
No, not really. The difference is 244 vs 232 before modifiers.

>>12983478
And I bet you're now gonna say that they kanmusu aren't girls but seafaring vessels.

>>12983443
What's that exactly? I kinda stopped looking for other things when I got stuck with KCV (I like the interface and those counters are nice too).

>>12983489
That's not the point here

>>12983490
Superior non-bloat tool.

>>12983478
De-facto wise, SEA was Japan during that time.

>>12983603
While true, it doesn't really apply to Ro-500 or Ro-501.

Ro-501 was used to train Japanese sailors and given to the IJN in europe but didn't make the trip home to Japan, and Ro-500 was only used as a training-vessel in Japan after she was gifted to the IJN, and at that time she already had done some patrols so I wouldn't say she got "raised" there.

Though to be fair, I have no idea what else the devs could have meant with that tweet so Ro-500 might be the best bet.

I've been doing 2-4 for almost two weeks. I get S-A ranks on ending nodes, but not once I rolled to go to boss node.
Maybe with the last update they added branching rules or something?

>>12983414
You can go Line Abreast for the increased torpedo evasion. Works a lot better than Line Ahead for 3-5 simply because it is engagement independent.

>>12983667
No, it's normal state of affairs. Welcome to kancolle, enjoy your stay.

>>12983667
No, get used to it

Question:
Has anyone tested if AA cut-in is limited to the first ship to trigger, or we can have multiple ships triggering at the same time?

>>12983667
Just compass fairies being cunts as usual

>>12983700
Possibly.That might be one of the reasons why the amount of planes shot down with AA cut-in swings so wildly, from 17(the lowest I've seen) to 120.

>>12982607
Thank you. Yume no Owari is so good.

new thread?

Stupid chinks, give Sukumo a break.

Same thing happened yesterday, but two hours earlier. I hope it won't become daily routine, event is drawing near.

>>12983876
Seems like it.

Devs pls, I was about to welcome back an expedition.

>>12983870
Is it just Sukumo or other servers too? They should go after Truk during event, that'd be funny.

That's a lot of chink.

>>12983918
When I posted about this error yesterday, no other server replied so I guess it's just Sukumo.

Sukumo fucked up again.
Event will be impossible, filled with cat screens and curses.

Do you ever farm specifically for modernization fodder? If so how? Running 3-2 for exp isn't giving me nearly enough to keep up with the ships I've kai'd.

>>12984158
>3-2
Just do 4-3

>>12984065
I actually feel somewhat bad for not being on Tawi-tawi after hearing Taihou's lines for the umpteenth time.

>>12984158
Just take what you can get.
Most grinding areas drop all sorts with anti air being the least common but you only have to anti air modernize your combat fleet so its not a big issue.
I don't think Isuzu farms are worth it unless you actually need her kai eqs.

>>12984291
>anti air being the least common
While it's true in 3~4 months of playing you'd have your whole collection maxed even if you bought slots.

>>12984291
Isuzus are nice fillers for 5-1 grinding.

>>12984392
I grinded at least 5-6 isuzus back in the day but stopped once I realized that exp could be better used on my combat ships; they aren't going to hit lvl 99 by themselves.

I've been playing a bit more than two weeks but have an HQ level of 51. I'm fucked when this event rolls around, right?

Let's do our best this week as well!

>>12985100
Do your dailies and weeklies.
>>12985263
Depends on what your fleet and equipments look like.

>>12985263
It depends.

>>12985263
Take a shot at the event if you feel like it, but generally you'll need at least a 3-digit bucket count, 5-digit resources, and at least one of every class of ship up to lvl 50 and well-equipped in order to comfortably do an event.

>>12985263
50k res throughout the event will be enough as long as you have the fleet, equipments and buckets.

Does clearing event maps provide HQ exp? I would prefer not to jump up to the next level mid event.

>>12985312
Dumbest advice in this thread

God. Why is everyone so scared of the scaling?

>>12985263
Don't expect to clear all the event. I began playing a couple weeks before Summer 2014 and I still managed to finish the first two maps. Level scaling helped me back then, but since you're level 51 you're most certainly already on tier 2 for the event. If your ships and equipment aren't good then you will probably have a hard time trying to clear it.

>>12985341
Srsly, there was no scaling when I started during November 2013. Everyone fought the same terror and it was still fine.

>>12985324
Yeah, fast. Don't do the event.

>>12985341
Probably because of spring and summer events of 2014 with the extra BB hime in boss node.

>>12985324
Yes they do. And if you're too scared of leveling up then you have two options: stop playing or suck it up. Wanting to get every event in baby mode is the single most stupid thing ever. Don't be a kuso TTK.

>>12985341
Because us oldies want a level of difficulty where we can say, "we've spent this much time and effort, and that's what we were able to clear E(n)".

What the devs are doing is understandable from a business standpoint (giving the satisfaction of an event clear to the more moderate TTKs as well), but do feel kinda cheated when somebody beats the same final map at a lesser difficulty.

>>12985357
But that's only at very high HQ level. When you're still new you shouldn't be concerned with this.

>>12985376
Blame those retarded wiki and himeuta and newfags who came to this thread

>>12985376
I agree, but new people is still scared from what they read and many of them probably have never been in an event.

>>12985374
Here's a tip: grow up.

>>12985374
Don't worry, low-level filth would not even bother with final operations and so would not beat event. They are above working hard for "mere" trophy destroyer.

>>12985404
Kindly refused.

>>12985374
>beats the same final map at a lesser difficulty
Do you have brain problems? People who get easier opponents have weaker fleets so difficulty is the same.

>>12985312
The revive crystals you've smoked are bad, anon.
Change the pusher.
Stop trusting foxes.

Double Type A to squeeze out torp stat on KTKM Kai with only two slots?

I'm disappointed in you /jp/. Where did the elitism go?

>>12985455
>have weaker fleets
At a certain point, sure. But difficulty scaling into the 100s is ridiculous. By then it's all up to RNG and how much people farmed boss nodes. Someone could easily camp at 3-2-A and have a better fleet than those 20 levels higher.

>>12985458
Hey, foxes are fine, they are low in the food chain and generally few bad things can happen when dealing with them. Dragons on the other hand, never deal with a dragon.

>>12985458
Would you guys just shut up I want him to inadvertently grind himself into the next bracket.

>>12985455
Difficulty isn't the issue here.

It's the sense of superiority in being able to say, "I was able to beat E6 because I've played for X number of months. Fuck you all #$"%"&Q"#$".
That in itself becomes testament of how much time you've put into this game or RNG GUI or whatever we call it.

>>12985475
The only problem I have with the level scaling at higher levels is the LoS requirements, I feel sometimes they're too high.

>>12985481
This. He'd also get better drops so that's the best thing to do.
