I was really excited when I first got a Hamakaze drop during the event because for a moment, not recognizing the new sprite, I thought I had picked up a new ship.

What should I do with Chitose and Chiyoda? Keep as tenders or light carrier?

How does one update KCV? Do you just copy .config file and paste it onto the new version?

>>13016039
This is becoming a meme.

>>13016958
Can't blame you.
Also, my luck sucks, only two trophy DDs and they aren't even event-only. No E4 drops either.

>>13017160
Depends if you unlocked TE.

>>13017502
Use cookie method.

k guys we're 10 posts into this thread, who's making the next one?

>>13017582
Newbie here, what's TE?

Finally.

Fuck you and fuck the angry crab you're attached to, Abyss!Agano.

Now time to save up tears again when I take on E-4 and E-5.

>>13017643
Tokyo Express (expeditions 37 and 38).

>>13017661
Nope, far from it.
What's the significance?

>>13017673
You need to complete an expedition that requires two seaplane tenders before getting TE.

>>13017684
Ah got it, thanks a bunch

Just checked my countrymen's Kancolle forum, and there's compiled report of ship sunk already. Total body count is already 60+, including but not limited to Eugen, Bismarck, Yamato, and KTKM-sama.

As expected from normalfags.

>>13017707
>sunk Eugen
I sincerely hope this guy killed himself.

>>13017707
>Bismarck
Fucking why?

>>13017707
Someone already sunk German sub from Facebook.

>>13017715
Link

>>13017707
Let me guess, Indonesia?

>>13017719
Just search Kantai Collection on it. It's the page with the German sub as their display picture, about 57k likes.

>>13017723
Kampret, put the spoiler tag, I'm ashamed myself

>>13017735
Looked through and can't find the display picture you speak of. Is it the Thai group?

>>13017735
I see no such display picture though I see one of Eugen.

>>13017785

>>13017737
Da fuk is Kampret, never heard of him.

>>13017707
What forum would this be?

>>13017811
Native slur, ignore that.

>>13017811
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=kampret

>>13017811
Not him but it's an Indonesian swear word.

>>13017827
I didn't know Indos could be so terribad at a casual browser game.

PvP refresh, still no one with 甲 sign yet.

>>13017707
Taiwan's responses are about the same as the one's here

>>13017868
And thus, Tanaka had extended his lifespan by a few years.

>>13017849
It's really damn bad. All MMOG is filled with 9yo children, while the pro players are hindered by shit internet speed. It's shit place.

I give up on Asashimo, thanks for making a shitty event, devs.

>>13015986
Oh Akitsumaru! Our Foddess and savior. Bringer of fine Branching. I render onto Thee.

Should I waste my precious resources running E5 on hard, without Yamatos, or should I Spit on the medal and do some LSC afterwards?
Oh! Please answer my prayer, goddess!

>>13017861
You can see them in the ranking too.

>>13017943
Hard mode all the way and easy mode for E5, dickwaving medal is worthless and you should have more than enough medals to remodel everything already.

So what's the best comp for E3 without Akitsumaru and CAVs?

>>13017903
>>13017950
Not sure why there are 2 threads but I need some help with clearing E-2

>>13017982
I got it done on my first try, went with CLT 3FBB CAV CVL.

>>13017960
Anons are saying the medal is to unlock a fifth fleet, or some unobtainable ships.
If the developers just stated what the fuck the medal actually is it'd be better.

Don't care for PvP insignia, but a fifith fleet would be great.

>>13017999
That's just wishful thinking bullshit, it does nothing other than give you 10k fuel and some other useless shit if you use it.

>>13017999
Blueprints weren't available for exchange when medals first came out, right? Best to hold onto it for when the use for it becomes known.

>>13017982
Put full green on CV and CVL, one torpedo in last slot is enough, use DD AA cut-in setup

>>13018006
For now, Yeah.
Regret it later noobscum.

>>13017999
The devs are very careful in giving too much exclusive to certain playerbase. If anything, it's safe to assume it's simply bragging rights.

>>13018011
Sure, I will regret it along with my Sakawa and Isokaze who also unlocked the fifth fleet.

>>13017987
Does this go A or B?

No fun allowed here beyond this point.

>>13018014
>tfw no Shinden Kai

Damn it.. again with !Kaga in E-5

>>13018011
Sure elite player m8 :^)

>>13018026
B-C-F-H-I

Admist all these madness, an important question remains. Where is that Kasumifag? I'm waiting for him to complete E5 hard with her.

>>13018038
I haven't seen him since MI.

>>13018049
Wait, he did not even appear on Fall2014?

Anyone has a recommendation for E-5?

>>13018064
Yes, don't do it.

>>13018064
Easy mode.
Enjoy Amagi.

>>13018064
Akashi route is working for me so far. 3 S ranks in 5 runs. Use both supports. Equipment is all the usual stuff.

>>13018064
CAV/Akashi + 4BB (Hotel+Nagato standard) + CV
CL CA(V)/FBB (Bismarck) 2CLT 2DD
Use both supports, sparkle fleet for final kill.
Ignore lack of AS when emptying boss gauge.

After you clear an event map, the boss setup will permanently stay as the last kill setup, right?

Anyone has a recommendation for E-2?

>>13018072
CVLs as Reppuu/saiun mules, or they attack too?

>>13018072
>>13018075
Thanks, what eLos are you guys running with?

>>13018084
Do normal

>>13018115
meaning ?

>>13018093
All Reppuu(303fp) and a Saiun.

>>13018112
No idea what LoS formula people are using now, but 4 Yamato seaplanes, 1 night recon, and 1 Saiun is my only LoS equipment.

>>13018123
This is my current E-2 fleet any at least 2 ships will get hit to orange on F node

>>13018084
Star Shell on Akizuki, Night Scout on Prinz, AP ammo cut-in setup on FBB. 1 Sauin, 1 Reppuu Kai, 1 Reppuu, 1 Reppuu 601, 2 of each red and blue planes.
Might have had one more Reppuu in there instead of a blue plane, I don't remember.

>>13018075
Do you think it's possible without hotels?

>>13018144
Do you get rekt at Ru node?

>>13018139
Same here, except red.

>>13018144
>only 1 BB killer

>>13018129
Tested on my own setting. 92 eLos is fine.

>>13018148
I'm sure it's "possible" but you'll need the luck to in your favor moreso than if you did have hotels. If the medal doesn't mean much to you / you don't have upwards of 100k+ resources then I'd stick to easy/medium

>>13018148
I've seen people beat it with one Hotel, haven't seen anyone beat it without any.

>>13018157
What about chipping the gauge? Are hotels mandatory there?

>>13018161
Why don't you try it out yourself?

>>13018152
I changed my Fleet layout slightly and now I'm getting Junyou Red everytime

>>13018161
Chipping should be fine without hotels. Non-final boss is fairly easy.

>>13018151
Rarely. Only got sent home by that node maybe twice out of the 11 or 12 times I needed to clear hard mode.

>>13018157
>>13018158
Alright, thanks. I do have over 100k resources, but they're going down pretty fast since I'm using both support expeditions and more often than not, a ship gets crit to red at the 4 BB node.

H-help... this is E-5

>>13018165
Because I'm orel/3-2 cruising in desperate attempt to get more resources. I started with nat regen(27k), after E-4 finish I had 6k fuel/8k steel left. Now it's at 13/11 respectively. "Medium event" my ass, I'm not going to trust devs ever again.

>>13018182
I was skeptical of them calling the last event a medium event. It felt more of a mini-event to me.

When this event came along, I knew I was right.

>>13018188
Yeah, that was my own fault for assuming that it's going to be '14 Fall tier. At least I have enough time on my side. I really hope I have enough time.

Business as usual in E5 wild ride.

>>13018182
Feels good to have a 300k resources/3k buckets whenever you need it.

>>13018234
epik meme :^)
liked & subscribed

Can some jap writing anon, contact the devs and either ask the future value of such Top class medal, or just tell them to go fuck off?

>>13018242
Stop bitching and do the damn event.

>>13018242
Sour grape much?

>>13018242
It's obviously going to be used as some sort of different blueprint or will be used as a blueprint by itself for special kai ni's.

>>13018246
>>13018249

I've 2k buckets and 250k+ Resources, but no Yamatos. Still E2, doing it quietly.
But after seeing all these reports, I'm growing more concerned that I won't be able to clear E5 on hard.

>>13018261
>but no Yamatos
Just as clear as many as you can. I have no idea if Yamato can really contribute for the final kill as the bulk of it still lies with your escort fleet so if you're running surface fleet, you can't put her in it.

>>13018261
You have more than enough resources, its just down to your luck.

Chipping is definitely possible without hotels, its only during the final form, you may need to pray to KTKM real hard.

>>13018261
It's not about Yamato-class. It's about luck. The more resources you have, the more chances you have to get lucky.

I read this anon went E4 south, with this no-BB fleet.
Anyone tested other compositions besides naka/agano that I don't have?

>>13018261
Nah, stop being pussy and man up, you're make your girls feel shame for you.
Here, final kill with 4 monkeys from my fellow SEA subhuman
http://youtu.be/7ERnxHuaUc0

>>13018284
>naka/agano that I don't have
This is what you get, kuso.

Green T-cross is the worst. I fucking swear.

>>13018286
>AP ammo in charge of being useful

Is it just me or did the latest KCV version changed the layout of fleet stats on "overview" tab?

Seems like level, HP and fatigue stats moved from far right to far left (closer to the name).

>>13018286
That is a shameful display of luck more than anything else.

>>13018334
>That is a shameful display of luck more than anything else.
The same could be said for all event maps.

>>13018337
Targeting E5 boss among all those meatshields is just sheer RNG. More than the past ones.
Pretty shitty tbh.

Fucking done with E-2
Thanks >>13018009 That 1 Reppuu difference really helped

>>13018334
>>13018351
Sit on 2k bucket+ 250k resources, still scared of boss event. Yeah, whatever

>>13018334
He only got lucky with Yorkie.

>>13018363
>No Yamatos
Might be the weight of choosing between this event and keeping resources to LSC later, trying to improve the fleet?
What you say A-hole?
Better a medal now and be No Yamato again, or forsake the medal and RNG for an easier way through events?

If I give Yorktown a burger, will she stop getting my ships to red?

>>13018375
Not him, but if you ask me, I'd take the medal any day.

>>13018377
She will take the burger, eat it and still fuck your girls to red.

>>13018375
You can get Tomatoes any time you want. You have 12 days left to get medal. The choice is fucking obvious.

>>13018375
If you've already made up your mind why bother asking for opinions? If you were serious about getting Hotels you would be doing LSC everyday while keeping yourself below regen cap and not always comtemplating about whether to LSC or event.

>>13018375
You can have Yamato anytime but event medal. Nah. You're just pussy, nothing less.
Expeditionslutslaughting.jpg

16 runs of E-3 final dance, still no kill.
Do i really need to bring out KTKM sama

>>13018075
Can you have 5BBs total?

Who E-6 here?

How many anon here had given up on doing E5 on hard?

>>13018409
Surface Task Force only allows 4BB maximum.

>>13018413
In main fleet.

>>13018412
I will not give up until event ends. My pride as admiral rides on it.

>>13018409
>>13018413
He already has 5 BBs, 4 in main and 1 in escort.

>>13018412
I have this pretext to hunt Isokaze in Hard Mode and when I'm done I'll switch to Easy Mode.


But deep inside I want the E-Peen Medal.

>>13018409
Five in total? Sure.

>>13018412
Currently chipping the gauge. We will see at the end of the event.

>>13018412
>2 days into the event
>Give up

So how many event did super KTKM-sama finish for you?

I'm not sure if I can clear E5 hard without Yamato, Musashi, or Nagato. I have all my fast BB kai ni. Around 15k resources left.

Should I just give up and go for easy E5 (and prepare for E6), and git gud for next event?

>>13018426
Not this one.

>>13018426
Only summer 2014 and hopefully this.

>>13018426
None.

>>13018427
You have three week. Get more fuel and clear it.

>>13018427
It's not about having the big-three, do you have night battle monsters in your fleet? Do you have enough night battle equipments? Do you have enough Reppuu?

>>13018426
None.

>>13018433
Two, actually.

>>13018433
I will try. As a 2 month teitoku I'm not even sure if I'm well prepared for it.

Watching people on nico and twitter spend so much time and despair clearing E5, I kind of feel bad that it only took me 3 tries to down the boss on the final kill. (yes, hard mode)

Go get them, guys.

>>13018426
She never do jack shit for me. It's always Nagamon and Bismack

>>13018412
About to start.

>>13018434
I have enough Reppuu to clear E1-E4 hard, searchlight, star shell, and night recon plane.

I never fed any maruyu yet, but I have Shigure, Hatsuhimo, KTKM, Ooi kai ni, and Yukikaze kai, all at average level of 60 to 70.

>>13018412
As long as it can take. I'll keep bashing my head into this wall.

>>13018441
My sister took only one try to down summer E6 boss final form (level 100+). God damn your luck.

>>13018446
Try and get a feel for it. If you can reach the boss reliably and get a decent kill, stick with it. Your resources will run out before long though.

What's this message? I haven't played in ages and I don't remember it being there in the first event with combined fleets.

>>13018457
Choose which kind of combined fleet you want to have.

>>13018458
What's the difference in them?

>>13018457
You can pick kidobutai or suijobutai.

>>13018461
I'm too lazy to explain so read the wiki.

>>13018467
Where is it listed? I've looked through the Combat section, it wasn't there.

>>13018473
Don't they have a page for combined fleet?( (not sure, I don't wikia)

>>13018473
I'll be nice just this once since the wiki's layout sucks balls:
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combined_Fleet

There's a link to it from every event page from summer 2014 onwards though.

>>13018478
There's also a link literally at the start of the combat article.

>>13018482
Layout still sucks balls.

>>13018489
There's always the search function.

>>13017707
It's not much different on their local group.

>>13018498
It sucks almost as much.

>>13018499
Sinking at E1? The fucking hell?

Are all the drops available on easy?

>>13018507
Yes, but how available they are is another story.

>>13018506
Yes.

RIP Akatsuki.

>>13018511
Bodoh.

>>13018511
>mampus
Top kek

>>13018510
I mean if they drop in the same nodes, I see in wikiwiki that Asashimo drops in nodes E, F, G and H of E5, but I wonder if she drops in easy there.

>>13018511
I'm disgusted by the fact that these people even exist
Fucking monkeys

>>13018511
With levels like that it's only gonna take him like, an hour to find and raise a new one.

>>13018516
Yes to that.

>>13018499
>>13018511
Stupid indonfags, keep your shit together.

>Stuck at E3 because my 4BBs can't hit a fucking thing.

Seriously, what the fuck am I doing? I'm been banging my head against the wall for the past 5 hours.

>>13018521
Alright, time to go there again then cause E2 or E4 bosses on hard are even worse.

I wonder if there's a way to see who's gotten the Ko medal?

>>13018552
Ranking.

>>13018552
Server ranking.
They have it on show.

>>13018535
More green than there should be.

>>13018558
>>13018560
Wow, les than 1/5 of the top rankers have the medal so far.

>>13018572
Many top rankers don't have a lot resources.

>>13018572
62 medals on first 1k ranked players on Sukumo.

I cleared E5 about half an hour ago. Posted on /a/ about it. It was very costly. I lost only 10k all going from E1 to E4 on hard, but E5 gravely outstrips it. I came down to a bill of 110k loss, a bucket loss of 400. Close to 50 sorties in all, took 10 to get health bar to killzone, and more than 30 failures to kill the boss.

So guys, how's E5 been treating you all?

>>13018581
Finished it on day 2. Remodelling Amagi in 15 levels.

So whats the best comp for E2 hard?

>>13018581
Just post you compositions, and if you used support fleets. And notable drops. If notable.
E5 is killing us here.

>>13018581
I have no hotels, I don't know if I can still make it. Mind you I still have 270k res and 2.8k buckets.

But the last kill would seem a huge fuck you.

>>13018590
Hotels are jobbers.

There is also teitoku who used sacrificial ship on the event.

RIP Zuihou

>>13018591
My hotels personally whittled the final boss to mid health during daytime and Kitakami sniper her at night.
>Hotels
>Jobbers
Only because you don't treat them right.

What equipment on Akashi for E-5 do I use?

>>13018589
No notable drop. Again, it was around 50 runs in all.
Full support fleet for kill phase. Support fleets were outfitted with radars.

>>13018590
Yes it was. It was utterly disgusting. The two BB hime wreak you senseless all day every day...

1st fleet.
Lvl 97 Tone, 2x, 20.3 no.3 Seiran, FuMo25
Lvl 97 Yamato, 2x triple 35.6, Zero observation, type 32 radar
Lvl 97 Musashi: 2x triple 41cm, Zero observation, type 32 radar
Lvl 93 Nagato: Triple 41cm, 51cm, type 91 AP, type 32 radar
Lvl 84 Mutsu: Triple 41cm, 46cm, type 1 AP, type 32 radar
Lvl 92 Taihou: Reppuu 601, 601, Reppuu kai, saiun.

Second fleet:
Lvl 80 Ooyodo: 20.3, Akizuikigun, type 14 radar, Night scout
Lvl 92 Bismarck: 46cm, 46cm, type 32 radar, type 1 AP
Lvl 109 Ooi: 2x SKC34, a-ko
Lvl 94 Shigure: KTKM torp, KTKM torp, Starshell
Lvl 118 KTKM: +7 oxy torp, +7 oxy torp, a-ko
Lvl 95 Yukikaze: KTKM torp, KTKM torp, searchlight

Do I go with the Green or Blue Combined fleet for E-3?

>>13018600
If you really must use Akashi, set her up for some AAA with akizuki gun, and then damacon her. I used her, and I find that it's not worth using her. You rather have another cruiser firing at DDs and whatnot than to try fitting her in to stay out of the whirlpool.

In fact, I recommend reload when you hit the whirlpool. Your chances are shitty if you land in the whirlpool come boss node. That's how it was to me.

>>13018602
If you want your yasen fleet to get destroyed, pick left.

So if I want to give Haruna a 3 maingun cut-in attack, will 2*46 + 41 prototype overweight her?

>>13018613
Yes. I'd say 2*46 + 35.6 prototype or 46 + 2*41 prototype is your best bet.

>>13018607
Is it better to go on Medoum or Hard for E-3? I don't want to spend too much time on it

>>13018617
Never settle for less than hard.

>>13018604
The only known way to avoid the whirlpool is Akashi then?
I saw baldie's stream and he always went north on his final kill attempts

>>13018604
Alright, I'll try with a CAV instead then.

Another question, do you guys run route/boss support when chipping?

>>13018619
Whirlpool is random with CAV/4BB/CV. Akashi is only worthwhile if she guarantees you avoid whirlpool, which I don't have experience with.

>>13018619
Katori too lets you avoid wirlpool.

>>13018607
What about pre boss hime?

>>13018601
Torpedo waifus stronk

>>13018631
The game really loves them torpedo squadron action. It's almost telling you to go big on torps or go home.

Any streams up now?

How many full kills do I need for E5?

>>13018634
Too bad you can't give them FaTs

I feel so filthy

>>13018628
Does Taigei or Akitsu Maru do that too?

How many full kills do I need for E4 Hard?

>>13018636
You need at least 6 on hard and normal. You will run into the 2x BB hime by that point.
If you are playing easymoodo, you will need 8 kills. You will get 2x Ru flagship there.

>>13018640
It's not that bad, but you do more dmg with BSM than with Haruna due to the fact that Bismarck has torp stat. Haruna's cut-in is not 100% obviously. What's the luck on her?

>>13018647
52

Did you know one time sortie quests won't count as finished if you sink a required ships while finishing them?
Pretty retarded imho.

>>13018656
I don't know dude I think a ship sinking is enough to label the mission a failure.

>>13018658
>getting rid of a fubushitter
>not great success

>>13018650
Hmm. Well it's said that 60 luck is pretty much the ceiling...
It's a tossup I think. I would rather use night recon on somebody with high LoS. Haruna is ok for the job. When you stack that many 41cm, you don't need to worry much.

Where is the update with Katori replacing Ooyodo in administrative duties?

>>13018426
Who's that? Based Myoukou saving my rares once again, as expected of my first CA and the queen of the night. Had to use Ooyodo's thing and support on boss, but got the job done.

>>13018668
In your wet dreams.
And in mine, too.

>>13018672
Finally a Katorifag, I was wondering whether I'm surrounded by lolicons, oh wait.

So, no naka no Agano.
Until a sec ago.
E2 hard at the very least has fine drops. 2 Amatsukaze on Golden S Boss, Agano on S and uzuki on pre-boss.

Should I now level her to how much and/or fill her with turbines for the better E4 branching?

What comp should I use for the final kill on E5? I've been using

BB-BB-BB-BB-CAV-CV
DD-Bismarck-CL-DD-CLT-CLT

with both support exps but I got only 1 clean kill in 15 runs and they others were mostly chipping or not touching the boss at all

>>13018687
You will have AS on final kill, though.

Why bother with yasen gear in E4 when the lowly destroyer can destroy me even without cut-in?

I notice people mostly use Tone for E-5. Is there a reason for using her specifically besides her good stats? Will a normal CAV do?

I don't really get it. Is it their culture or something? Why are these brown asians so relentlessly dumb. Fair asians are despicable and cheap, but wow why are all darker-skinned races so fucking dumb

It's their educational system right?

Whining on /jp/ does help.
Thank you based Demon Goddess

>>13018687
>>13018691
You shouldn't sortie the moment you get to 49. Rest about 20 minutes before doing it again. I noticed that my fleet's effectiveness was dirt poor even if it looked as if they are fine.

And my personal preference is to just give up if you hit the whirlpool.

>>13018695
Tone is slightly better than the others CAVs, but I've been using chikuma instead because I like her more and I don't really feel a difference

Finally, after 30+ S ranks on E-4. Now I need to continue for more Seirans.

>>13018703
Are you okay anon? There's no one there

>>13018703
How did you farm E-4?

>>13018706
I went Nakachang route with boss support. S ranks in about 35% of the runs.

>>13018704
She's just shy.

STOP IT

>>13018713
Typical day at E5.png
It doesn't get any easier. Get your anus puckered up.

>>13018703
I'm spooked.

>>13018713
>CVLs
I'm so, so sorry.

>>13018640
Is this for E4?

>>13018713
That's why you go with CA/CV instead of 2CVL.

>>13018717
What should the anon do?
Taihou and CAV?
Enlighten us, oh ass one.

>>13018722
Kaga and Tone/Chikuma

Any report on Teitoku below level 100 clearing E5 hard?

Can't believe double line actually fucking worked against the RUlette on E2.

>>13018719
E-5

>>13018713
Are you using node support?

When support misses all shots and I get hankousen, I get S.
When support sink 3 ships and I get doukousen, I get wrecked.
Explain it to me with science.

Man, Amagi kai2 is fucking perfect.

How mad will everyone be when the medal is used to remodel 5slots super yamato?

>>13018738
The one you can only get with hard medal? I know, right?

>>13018740
The medal will be used to turn shinano from BB to CV, calling it now

>>13018740
"Y-Yamato is useless anyway", "C-consumer whore!", etc, etc.

Is this final? I lost count.
I wouldn't like to waste a boss support if it wasn't.

>>13018749
It's not.

I want to fucking die.

How does it feel knowing that the so-called Kuso-class is the best class for clearing E4?

>>13018751
It took me close to 50 tries. Steel your resolve. There's no getting off the ride.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm25525780

E-5 hard no Yamato-class & support

>>13018754
Do I really need those hotels because I have none? I really do feel inadequate in terms of damaging, or this shit is really pure luck bullshit?

>>13018733
No.

>>13018762
It's best if you have it. Somebody had used all Kongou and it's said that you can avoid the whirlpool with all fast composition on first fleet. You can try that. You are going to need artillery spotting if you are using Kongous.

>>13018736
Support doing well absorbed all of your luck.

>>13018762
Yamahotel and Musashinn help with because they can tank hits from almost any ship and keep going, but it's not the end of the world if you don't have them

>>13018750
Yes it is you dweeb.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz_UGpAP1Ks

Notice how Kongou clears the bar without killing the boss.

Still need more Zuihou to sink

>>13018762
E5 has been cleared at hard without hotels multiple times.

Hell, that's probably the cheaper way (albeit not faster).

>Reach boss perfectly unscathed
>Fuck you, here's reduced damage so you can't drop the boss

>>13018769
I don't care about your unrelated video. The line is behind the second segment.

>>13018765
I heard SS on second fleet for carrier task can help avoiding the whirlpool.

>>13018769
>2015秋
I thought that was 9 months away.

>>13018774

Well? It was normal for me

>>13018776
It can, but doing this means sacrificing Bismarck. I don't recommend it.

This is absolutely gay

>>13018774
Can I have a link?

There are actually people in this thread not using based akashi for E5

>>13018784
The sasebo dog will save the day

>>13018793
That's the end of the battle

If anyone is still stuck on E2 wasting resources, maybe you can try a lighter fleet going A-D-E-G-I.

1FBB, 1CL, 4DD.

>>13018772
Monster! Go tie an anchor on your leg and sink.

>>13018794
The sasebo dog (Could've) saved the day

>>13018753
Kusou who?
I cleared it with ease using the fleet idol.

>>13018792
I already cleared E5 on Hard without Akashi, it was easy. Kitakami just strolled up to the boss and stuffed a torpedo in her face.

>>13018799
Fleet idol is part of their team. Fusou and Yamashiro are there for AS.

>>13018774
Every. Single. Time.

Except when Support Shelling triggers, kills only one ship, and nothing else happens.

Who's that pokemon?

I was not sure if I would do E-5 on hard so I took a trip down to check it out.

This is the result on the boss with Green T for maximum damage output.

>>13018805
Enjoy the chill voice and blaze it 420

>>13018805
Charmander!

>>13018808
She sounds and looks batshit insane.

>>13018807
Bloody hell

>>13018807
T-cross always works against your favour when it comes to BB Hime, I'm willing to bet Kongou and Yamato is due to her.

>>13018817
>Hime

>>13018807
That doesn't look like it had boss support.

>>13018758
Damn, this guy got lucky.

The key equip for E5 is actually AP shell. It makes a huge difference.

>>13018807
Why Taigei?

>>13018819
No boss support. This was just a friendly visit to gauge the power of hard mode boss.

Considering my BBs just missed I'm not sure it would have made any difference.

>>13018820
He's using such crap guns on BBs. Should I try it too? Maybe all the misses in combined fleet are because they all have 2x 46cm.

>>13018826
See >>13018641

In two tries it has not gotten me to a whirlpool at least. But maybe that is because of my other ships.

>>13018829
It does. Your BB could have targetted a different enemy who might not have dodged. Every kill is a minor victory.

>>13018826
Does taigei do the same thing as akashi? Problem with using Akashi is forgoing fleet command facility

>>13018825
Yeah, but Kongou with 2x46cm suck a fat cock missing targets. Better to equip 1 46 and 1 35.6 + AP.

I looked at E5 on easymoodo just now, and I feel that it's actually more difficult than 5-5. You have to kill 2x Ru elite for the final kill, which to me is not much easier than dealing with Re. Moreover, the boss still has 415 health that you need to blast away.

Being able to do E5 on easymoodo is around E4 on normal or hard. Just beating E5 is worth respect. Honestly, you should get some kind of medal showing that you beat E5.

>>13018825
>>13018836
I recommend 2x triple mount 41cm, or a maxed out 41cm. You can get away with 46cm if you setup artillery cut-in I think, but it still may not carry the day.

>>13018836
You use them for support
It is time to sortie the hotels and nagatos
Go big or go home

>>13018836
Is there even accuracy penalty for 2 46cm on FBBs?

>>13018837
I think I am qualified to say that having beaten E5 on hard. Most people shouldn't bother going with a mode harder than normal for E5. It will drive you numb and suck your resources dry mighty fast, cause RNG is everything come boss node.

>>13018837
Amagi

>>13018837
>Just beating E5 is worth respect.

If don't play at easy/medium at HQ 100+, agreed.

>>13018843
Does medium come with Yorktown?
I dont really think the boss node is a big issue

>>13018847
Well yea. If you are at 100+, you got Kongous maxed, you got 46cms, you have triple 41cms and whatnot. Not doing it on normal when you have that is no excuse.

Hard is another story. If you can beat hard without hotels, then you are ridiculously lucky.

>>13018850
Yorktown does absolutely nothing with air superiority/parity and AA cut in. In my 15 runs there I've only retreated once there.

>>13018850
Well yeah. You are only facing 2x Ru class flagships while dealing with the full deal water oni at 500 health. You will survive just fine and then finish her off at night battle.

>>13018850
Last kill is the main issue for hard mode.
You get 2 pushover Ru kai instead of 2 bloody meat wall BB hime for medium mode.

This sight seeing gave me red T. Result not very different. Hard mode is probably not going to be.

Just for people who like winning the lottery.

>>13018860
I think it's the same shit as before. Pray that a cut-in will hit the right target.

For those who did E5, how much fighter power did you lose in the first two nodes and at G/H? It doesn't matter which route you took.

>>13018531
Different indonfag here, I'm ashamed of my countrymen.

>>13018852
>If you can beat hard without hotels, then you are ridiculously lucky.

Not really. I did that, and so a lot of people. It's not the hotels that will kill the boss.

>>13018860
>>13018866
The CA is able to crit your BBs. I really hate those, maybe even more than the BB hime. I don't care much for Wo there at all.

>>13018860
So doing medium would be easier than easy? I don't have hotels to spare so I don't think I'm going to survive hard mode.

>>13018839
>Hotels
Like anyone here has them

>>13018842
Many tests proved no penalty, but My Kongous keep missing even with type 32 and yamato plane, at such rate that I stopped equipping 2x46 on sorties.

>>13018865
Don't waste a slot on the command center.

>>13018878
Not him, but for chipping, why not?

>>13018869
Not bad. Composition changes when you are at killzone. I can get enough AS through either 1x Taihou/Kaga or Hi'yo and Jun'yo.

You have 50/50 chance of not getting AS at the carrier hime node. No around it.

Wait, what?

>>13018877
I do. Paying for hotels is not tanoshii.

>>13018847
>>13018852

This TTK here, as many others, is pleased to prove you all wrong.

>>13018885
Do you have more precise figures? I'm crunching a few numbers right now.

>>13018886
任務部隊 A群. Task force group A.

The USN is strong in this one.

Someone make a new thread.

>>13018601
Nice, thanks.
I had the same fleet but I use Jintsuu instead.. Ooyodo for AA perhaps?

>>13018877
>Not having hotels
Scrub.

If only someone could report isokazes from easy E-5. I'd be all over it in a flash because I want her.

But right now I mostly wonder if it is available on medium since hard is too hard.

>>13018893
Kaga: 2x, Reppuu 601 1x Reppuu kai, 179 AS.
Taihou: 2x, Reppuu 601 1x Reppuu kai, 173 or so.

Any advice on formations in E-5? Do I just go bottom right all the way?

>>13018871
Yes.

>>13018904
Formation 2 / Top right trash nodes
Formation 4 / Bottom right boss node

>>13018893
Jun'yo: Reppuu kai, Reppu, Reppu 601, Tomonaga, 151
Hiyo: Reppuu, Reppuu 601, Reppuu, Egusa, 133.

>>13018902
I meant how much fighter power you lost in the first 2 nodes and G/H.

>Hiyou gets crit to orange every sortie
>Move her to see if they stop hitting her
>Crit to orange in next sortie

At least its not red but holy shit, this girl is a torpedo magnet.

The strongest.

>>13018909
I would go with formation 4 all the way.
>>13018912
Negligible in the first two nodes. Less than 5 AS losses or so.

>>13018913
Abyssals can smell your fear.
That's how they hit your softer shipgirls first.

That or RNG simply not going your way.

>>13018916
Thanks.

Do you guys use support fleet for chipping E-5 bar? I still have some reserve but it's a big waste when they don't reach the boss.

Mamiya+Iruko doesn't give 80 morale as well.

>>13018918
I swear that the RNG knows who to hit. Once I stick damacon into Kaga, the RNG avoids taking down my CV. It's pretty funny.

Fuck this. I can't hunt for Isokaze anymore since the meatshield bitches appeared now.

Time to go Easy Mode. It's not bad because I got Asashimo as a byproduct in BB node.

>>13018925
Had the exact same shit with Akiduki on E2. She always got taiha'd on Ru node, so I decided to put some damacon on her. Looks like Rus weren't expecting that, seeing as they've missed my fleet entirely this time.

>>13018918
They orgasm at the smell of despair.

At least that is how I explain that I finally beat E2 boss after giving up during the final battle and just looking away.

>>13018934
Well, they should be less focused on killing your kanmusus while they're orgasming.
Despair is the key, TTK. Use it.

>>13018925
>>13018929
I've got a feeling that DMM managed to crack Capcom's Desire Sensor source code (or buy it outright) that they use for their Monster Hunter games.
Except they flipped a few variables over so it detects what the player hates instead.

That being said, pic related gave me a lot of pain. Never going into her domain again, if I can help it.

>>13018923
Nope, I need that fuel for later.

>>13018943
>Not going into her domain
You wanna steer clear from E5 then

>>13018943
She's a relative pushover in E5 hardmode. BBs with about 160+ fp can get her btfo.

>mfw et Taigei followed by Mikuma from 5-2 while doingx weekly quests at the last minute
The rare drops are already coming, and I haven't even started E1 yet.

I have high hopes for this event.

/jp/, can the flagship of 2nd Fleet sunk when their HP is red in the beginning of battle/yasen?

>>13018947
Pfft. Only 160+
Step up, anon. 230FP is the way to go.

>>13018949
No. I don't think that they can. I've advanced on red 2nd fleet flagship quite a few times in MI/AL and here, without having her sink. That's with her blown to 1hp left.

Don't take my word for it though.

>>13018949
Every taiha that doesn't stop you from continuing is deadly.

>>13018953
No U. Accuracy >>> FP in E5. I got my hotels down to about 180-190FP because it's a hell lot more important to land those shots than to push FP. You want to get observation set-up for that matter.

>>13018949
Feel free to try it with repair teams.

As far as I've heard, it can sink.

>>13018949
It lets you advance with the 2nd flagship so its deadly.

If it couldnt sink then they'd tell you "SORRY, YOU CANT CONTINUE" like what happens with the ffirst fleet flagship.

>>13018949
Yes.

>>13018958
Yeah. 230 FP and +50 accuracy on at least 80 luck ships.
That's what I was saying.
Not ships filled with reds.
Step your game up, anon.

>>13018949
Test it out with some fodder DD or something if you're not sure. Your sacrifice will benefit us all.

What does it mean by having Akashi on E-5 is easy route? it only avoid the fuel maelstorm or there's more to it?

Beaver is a fucking killing machine. Did it in one try.

Raped hard by E5, but at least drop isn't that bad. From E node.

Taigei led me to a whirlpool now, so I guess it was still just random.

>>13018946
>>13018947
Oh. Good. Shit, well.

Thank you for informing me ahead of time.
Though I think the trauma I'll get from the E-5 boss will override my trauma with CL Oni, anyway.

Jeez is everyone on E5 already? Felt like I lost progress once I went to sleep.

Also I cannot thank Yukikaze enough, at the start of the event she was level 40+ but is still my clear MVP for the event. Many a time has a clear depended on her choice of target for cut-in. Shigure's a close second.

>>13018978
Amen brother.

4 sorties, 100% CEHK, 100% success rate.
E-3 was almost as easy as E-1.

>>13018980

>>13018986
Shit, you are really me. Yukikaze is at 44.

>>13018987
So...What changes in the final Kill?

Is it normal getting taiha'd most of the time in E5 pre-boss nodes?
I can't reach the boss 5 out of 5 tries, it's like something is wrong with my fleet.

1CAV/Akashi 4sBB 1CV + 1CL 2DD 2CLT 1fBB
F2 on pre-boss nodes.

>>13018992
Take a good long look at the wo-class.

>>13018992
Two wo kai instead of flagship

>>13018992
You don't get air superiority.

>>13018992
You get to see nipples.

>>13018999
I wish.

>>13018993
Always use 4.

>>13018987
I thought E3 was easy too, until RNG started working again and I couldn't get final kill for about 20-30 sorties. (Out of which only 6 reached the boss)

>>13018994
>>13018995
Oh didn't notice the flames.
Black Wock Shooter mode.

>>13018996
It's all about Yasen so it's fine!...right?

>>13019016
>It's all about Yasen so it's fine!...right?
Sendai pls

Just doing some chipping and even that is hard to do.

>>13018987
Could you post your fleet?
It looks do-able for me

>>13019016
Not if 5/6 enemies are alive after day battle.

>>13018987
Yes E-3 is easy, but not on E-1 level at all. E-1 is as easy as expeditions.

>>13018996
Reppuu Kai, 2x Reppuu 601, 4x Reppuu (Kaga + Akitsu), 1x Zuiun 12, 1x Zuiun 634 and 2x Zuiun (Fusou + Tone) are enough for air superiority.

>>13019045
That's rude to expeditions. Sometimes I forget to resupply and have to call them back. If I ever forgot to resupply an E-1 sortie I'd probably just roll with it.

No Hotels, Nagamon or Bismarck (started three months ago). 6k fuel after E4. Is there a realistic chance of beating E5 on hard?

>>13019055
In your dreams maybe

>>13018970
Avoiding maelstorm is big deal
If you roll south, just reset the round.

>>13019049
Well shit. I beat it without AS, but it was a pain.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but E5 on easy is actually fun. The "enemy got lucky and hit you to red" element seem gone, and they just hit me to orange, just as I wish the game always was. So the enemy has to be lucky twice now to send me back.

Naturally while writing this I got crit to red by pre-boss node on easy.

>>13019029
1st fleet:
Akitsumaru (3x Reppuu);
Kirishima (46cm, 41cm proto, FuMo, observation seaplane);
Haruna (46cm, 41 proto, type 33 radar, observation seaplane)
Fusou (46cm, 35.6cm triple, Zuiun 634, Zuiun 12;
Tone (2x 20.3 type 2, 2x Zuiun);
Kaga (2x Reppuu 601, Reppuu Kai, Reppuu);
2nd fleet:
Kiyoshimo (3x quint);
Yuugumo (2x 10cm+fire director, type 13 radar kai)
Naka (2x 20.3cm type 2, night scout);
Myoukou (2x SKC, quad torpedo, observation seaplane);
Shigure (2x quad torpedo, searchlight);
Yukikaze (1x quint, 1x quad, star shell).

>>13019055
Not really, no.

>>13019055
No. It'll be easymoodo for you anon.

>>13019055
Doubt so. I'm more curious whether its possible to beat it on normal instead of easy.

>>13018284
Tried 2CA 2CAV 2DD. The boss still very hard to hit, less resource usage than Naka/Agano composition.

>>13019055
Realistic? No.
But this is RNG Colle so anything can happen.

>>13019057
>>13019069
>>13019072
>>13019082
Thank you for honest answers. I'll gather up resources and see how it goes in few days.

>>13019055
Grind a spare Kirishima, maybe? And put her in main fleet. Your first Kirishima should then go into the escort fleet.

>>13019087
No, dont even bother

Your chances are 0% if you didnt prepare properly so just start on easy mode

>>13018970
>there are people not using based Akashi route with air superiority for boss
Dont even need boss support

When my gold bullet KTKM on red, I have no worries because I still have my silver bullet.

What's the easiest fleet to run hard mode E3?

I've tried:
2 FBB + 2 CAV + 2 CVL (1st fleet) and 1 CL + 1 CA + 4 DD (2nd fleet)
and
2BB+1BBV+2CAV+CV (1st) 4DD+1CL+1CA (2nd)
2 FBB 2 CAV 2CV (1st fleet) and 1 CL 1 CAV 4 DD (2nd fleet)

Got blown the fuck out every single time very hard.
Every ship level +80~99

E4 Hard seems to be the most viable map to search for Asashimo. I heard the Naka/Agano route was safer? Any tips?

>>13019110
Good luck.
You actually need 2gold bullet for E5.
My beaver only cutin for around 150+ with 53cm/2xQuint. Shit is ridiculous.

>>13019104
Hard mode? mind sharing your fleet?

>>13019104
Why not take kaga instead of 2 CVL?
I can get supriority with her, which is surprising since she isn't chocked on reppuu only

>>13019112

>>13019116
Escort fleet can be anything that you want since Akashi fixed it to north.
I went with 2CLT+Bismarck+2 miracle DD and Ooyodo. See >>13019110

Key equipment is AP shell. Daytime cutin is a godsend, basically 1shot 1kill any scrubs so you wouldnt scream MISS MISS MISS.

With Akashi you have no fleet command facility so you are rolling the dice hard during Yorktown. That said, they are pretty tough in combined fleet, Yorktown can't seem 1shot anyone straight to red unlike in summer E6.

>>13019126
How does a lone Kaga reached 252? Final round I will go with lone Taihou.

>>13019132
That's what I mean. I have absolutely no idea how, but I do get superiority on boss with this.
Hard mode, obviously.

>>13019134
Only on transformed. Otherwise show screen.

>>13019115
Thanks anons-senpai.
I will do my best.

>>13019132
I keep missing a lot even at T green. this rng sucks.

Last question, what does Akashi equipped with?

>>13019055
Is there a chance? Sure.
Is that chance large? Not really.

>>13019138
Will do next time I'm not trolled by notkaga

>>13019142
What else

>>13019065
I really enjoy the 'big battleships trashing each other' part.
