Then only information I can find on the wiki about the difference between a fast and slow fleet is:

>Icon Speed 速力 (Sokuryoku, Speed) - Divides into High Speed/Fast and Low Speed/Slow. The mechanics are not clear but it is said to give bonus to evasion if all ships are fast speed. Affects the sortie route in certain maps.

Get out of here, Mr. I have self control. Next thing you tell me is that you only do the easy dailies, use scripts for expeditions, and do the daily PvP to grind and nothing else. Then the game is actually a fun casual thing to play where you slowly obtain all the shipgirls and level them over time, rather than extraordinarily mind-numbing grinding and expedition timing.

I'd suggest using sikuli if you're a complete amateur. It's super to use; just play around with it for a bit and you'll have a nice script to get you resources while sleeping.

Or learn how to use python and write a script if you want a useful skill in the future. I used a script for expeditions, but I still managed to blow 12+ hours a day on Kancolle while I was playing it for 3~ months or so.

For DDs any of the ones that get a kai ni or the elite DDs (Shimakaze and Yukikaze) are the way to go. Yuudachi Kai Ni is pretty fucking good, because with the right set up she hits like a truck. Shigure Kai Ni and Yukikaze can do some crazy cut ins at night thanks to their high luck, so equip them with torpedoes.

As for CLs, Isuzu remodels early and comes with some good equipment. Sendai class is not bad at all, and if you're in for the long run you can get them to Kai Ni. KTKM-sama and Ooicchi are a must have.

>without any BBs at all

I serious can't imagine how. When the compass did let me go to boss, with the full fleet I could still barely kill the boss flagship with cutins and doubles for some reason, and only my Kongou Kai (strongest ship atm) was the only one that didn't go red by the end.

And yes, DDs get extremely useful. Actually, they are useful even on early stages. Not only do they often required for reaching boss nodes because of branching rules, but they are also one of the two classes (the second being CLs) who are able to fare quite well against submarines. Not to mention that "elite" DDs with high luck have a high chance of cut-in attacks which hit enemy vessels very, very hard. Also, anti-air support and a chance of AA cut-in with the right equipment.

You want a recon seaplane (light green) in one of her slots. It helps with accuracy/double attack and what not.

But after remodel they are actually capable of reliably killing enemies and are much better at avoiding damage. As for consumption, it's impossible to lack ammo.

For Hachi and Goya remodel results in effective +27 to torpedo, +22 in torpedo for Iku and Imuya. That's a difference between killing that transport or leaving it with red HP. And in night you get cut-ins capable of killing anything that has less than 200 HP.

Sorry for sounding like such a noob, I just started playing a week ago, but I don't get the thing with 2-3 and subs.

I only have I-58 and I-68 at the moment and I try to go through some of the nodes at 2-3 along with my main fleet but they're the ones that usually get bombed hard by the abyssals, therefore cutting my sorties short to just 1 to 2 nodes.

I seriously am doing something wrong here and I can't point it out.

I leveled my subs at 2-3 after they hit lvl 20, you'll have to retreat if the first nodes are in double line and your torpedo salvo isn't good, but at that level subs take 5-10 minutes to repair so it's nothing.

2-3 has base 200 exp but you'll often get D rank with low level subs resulting in less exp. If you use subs for tanking damage you'll be usually getting S Rank on map with much higher base exp (320 for 3-2). I trained Iku, Hachi and Goya to lv ~20 on 3-2A while grinding last dozen of levels for Haruna to her Kai Ni.
However on 2-3 you'll be gaining resources despite resupply and repair so it's good idea as well.

Crafting ships isn't worth it unless you absolutely need a ship like a carrier or battleship. Your better off putting the resources into leveling your fleet, progressing, and getting drops in the process. Eventually you'll want to try LSC but that'll probably be a while.

I think people just do construction during the first few days when they desperately need a certain ship or ship type to clear the early quests.
Afterward they just clear maps normally and hope the ships they want will drop along the way.
And when you have stable income, you will find yourself deep into the LSC hell, and normal construction is just something you spam to clear dailies.

So I guess I am too stupid to play this game.

I am trying to do 3-2-A, and can't get my flag MVP no matter what.

If I take away planes or guns off the BB, I cant kill everything and take damage, but if I put stuff on, my flag never gets MVP.

Do I just need a stronger support fleet to grind here or am I missing something?

Fit your flagship with the strongest equipment, 3 other ships that are capable of killing should only have a main gun and a secondary to prevent doubles, one cvl for air strike. Start with 4 trash red planes, if the cvl is stealing mvp then take a plane away. Then a sub for the bottom so the abyss will focus it.

Those guys are attacking your Truk and you only have 5 CL, 10 DD, 3 SS, a repair ship, and a seaplane tender. (The extras represent the auxiliary ships) How prepared are you?

Keep in mind that while Houshou is a likeable ship, she's not an extremely viable one in the long run, so don't expect her to use her long. You need a CVL at least that'll be useful in the long run, so keep crafting.

Theoretically dive bombers do more damage in the shelling phase and torp bombers do more damage in opening phase, but when the planes get more advanced, torp bombers > dive bombers--a Ryuusei Kai isn't appreciably worse than a Suisei 12A

Early game it depends on the strength of the enemy. Against weak enemies you want torpedo bombers, since they can kill the trash mobs before they even get to fire. Against a stronger enemy you should include at least one dive bomber to do damage in bombing phase. Dive bombers are always a risk, though, since CVLs aren't very durable and often get crit to orange before they get a chance to use them.

Yes, "affecting morale points" is part of "working".

Still no problem here. Unless you modify the original phrase so it sounds wrong and imply that this is what it meant. Like you just did.

Yes. Leveling flag+BB+leech+5 teams of 3 DD that I rotated. Flag 2 sonar depth charge, BB and leech had full stack of radars, each destroyer in DD teams had radar sonar depth charge. You can grind 5-1-D non-stop by rotating destroyer teams. If you don't have enough shit to outfit all rotation destroyers don't bother, you'd waste way too much time switching equipment. You can try it with less DD teams but you'd have to wait some time for their fatigue to regenerate, with 5 teams it regenerates just in time. And have a second flagship to level ready and outfitted if you get unlucky and someone steals MVP/you get redirected off course few times in row, just switch fatigued flagship with fresh and keep the slaughter going.

Subs shouldn't be too hard for you since your HQ level isn't very high. Any good DD/CL should do, as long as it is modernized and equipped with ASW gear.
If you're worried about it, just level yourself a nice, strong Isuzu — she has a fairly low Kai Ni level, so it shouldn't be much of a problem. Most "popular" DDs also have decent ASW stats. Like Yuudachi, for example. Nothing outstanding, but with the right gear she should be able to easily take out non-elite/flagship subs.

I thought that was overly dramatic. I guess technically clearing a map can take weeks of time if you count every node as a day, but it's usually only an hour at most.

Saw you last thread. Good to see both our Bukki made it in time.

2-3 is suddenly refusing to drop all the CVLs it usually drops, though.
