Nice one OP.
Next time post a GOOD shipgirl, not Akashit.

>>13019785
Excuse me

>>13019803
All I see is a himeutard who sank his Yamato and Taihou.

What the hell happened to the air superiority calculator?

>>13019827
Nice try.

It would be blue if it were sunk.

>>13019883
I agree, blue cards should be sunk.

Is this one or two left?

>>13020064
One.
Good luck with the final form.

>>13020125
Alright, i guess it is time for support expeditions. Thanks.

How is your inner jew holding up?
6 months in and still haven't spent a single shekel.

>>13020233
The only reason I haven't spend money in this is because I'm way too retard to understand how to do it.

>>13020233
Not well.

>>13020233
I'm one of those greedy guy that actually plays a lot but doesn't want to spend any extra penny.

>>13020324
Top goy.

>>13020416
Bad goy.

>>13020260
Dumb goy.

Tried doing support expedition 34 but both times I got to E-2 boss it didn't appear. Am I missing something here?

>>13020262
Just wondering how well Katori/Akashi does in E-5 as stats wise they are not that good.

>>13020233
Not one penny, even though it would make things a little easier.

>>13020499
>doing world 5 support expedition for event map
Ayyyy

Is E-4 boss post-clear really not Yorktown anymore? Might farm that for Asashimo instead of E-2 if that's the case.

>>13020541
Well fuck, that would explain it. Wiki is a fucking mess.

>>13020542
Post-clear is the final form, but E-4 is still a easy map to farm comparing to E-2 if you have Maikaze and Nowaki.

>>13020564
I do, Asashimo is the only ship in the game right now (besides Musashi) I don't have, but E-4 Naka/Agano route was being a pain with the night battle Ri. Might try the regular route instead.

I had a dream that I finally cleared E-3 and cakewalked through E-4.

Waking up was depressing.

>>13020634
Thank god, I'm not the only one to ever have a dream about KC.

>>13020672
I've had 2 different nightmares where a boat sunk when it only went into battle in orange

>>13020634
I can't even dream since I sleep in 3-hour intervals and would do so for the next 2 weeks.

Is Kancolle running slow for anyone else?

>>13020689
Yes.

>>13020681
>boat

>>13020689
Yesterday it was working like shit to me. Today is fine.

>>13020713
Glad it's not just me

>>13020740
Yeah I just had like a 20 second wait for a battle to start

I want her chocolate.

>>13020768
fuck off you fucking german scatfaggot

>Finally got boss health to last hit needed for E3
>Suddenly two Black Wock Shooters
>Fuel and buckets are running low

So I've come this far yet I'm already at last hit needed, would itbe more economical and time saving to give up and do medium instead of hard?

>>13020797
You've got more than a week left. Go medium/easy for the next events.

>>13020797
Take a few days off and try to gather buckets and resources again. You still have time.

>>13020827
This. There is enough time for now. At rate I'm going at(went from 3k/7k/2k steel fuel ammo to 17k/15k/14k in one and half day), I might actually have enough resources to do E-5 hard, gathering enough for final kill E-3 would be a joke.

Type A + 61cm Quad O2 or Type A x2 on a Kai CLT? Is this a case for higher torp stat or is there a game mechanic reason to take a lower stat torp over a second Type A?

>>13020859
What expeditions are you running?

>>13020895
Hyoteki are not counted as torpedoes, that's why you only use 1 of them + quints

>>13020898
5/21/38. Fully sparkled they give about 540 fuel per hour. Orel/3-2 cruising made the lion's share of fuel/steel though.

Anyone got a good fleet that skips the maelstrom and gives you AS on the pre-final version of the boss on E-5?

Or is it pretty much one or the other?

>>13020946
2CVL in main fleet + sub in second.

>>13020951
Is anyone actually running this setup? I'm worried about the survivability of the CVLs and sub.

>>13020974
CVLs might as well self-destruct, sub can actually make it to the boss

>>13020910
38, not good for me. I only have 3 subs so I haven't cleared 30 yet.

Anyway, I completely forgot about sprakling. I need to make the habit of sparkling during events.

>>13020998
You should try sort by ship type mode in ship list, makes switching ships during sparkling much more faster.

E-5 regular nodes or E-2 boss for farming Asashimo?

>>13020984
Put one as flagship, sparkle the remaining one. Now they have some slight chance not to blow up on the way.

>>13020946
>>13020951
What about Akitsu+CV with a sub in the second fleet?

I don't have the numbers in front of me, but with the right planes, you should be able to get AS, skip the maelstrom, and be a bit more survivable than two CVLs so long as Akitsu is your flagship.

>>13021044
Kaga with 601/601/Kai/Stock is worth 213 fighter power. Akitsumaru is another 84. Might be doable.

>>13021044
This reminds me, why nobody tried to do CVL+CV?

>>13021080
Because combined fleet, genius.

>>13021044
Shit. The other thing I just realized is that Akitsu can equip the Command facility, so running this setup gives you AS, skips the maelstrom, and lets you send a ship home if you get an unfortunate taiha before the boss.

I'm 191k experience away from ringing my Bismarck. Should I switch to clearing Medium instead of Hard for E3 and onward in hopes of making it in time for Valentines?

>>13021097
You'd be running dangerously close to 252 FP this way, 269. This might need Fusos, they would bring another 28 FP. How much fighters would you loose at not-kaga?

>>13021124
Fusou

>>13021124
I'm not sure about the pre-boss loss, but I think you're right about having to bring Fusous.

Okay. After struggling with the standard E-5 setup, I think I'm going to try this one with Akitsu+BBVs+CV+sub.

Anyone know which ship people are replacing their sub with in the escort fleet?

So far at a 25% chance to survive to the boss, doing about 75% damage to the boss each time, adding an allowance for final kill on top, that's about 30-35 more runs before I clear E-3...

>>13021112
How are your resources and buckets holding up?

I just finished E-4 on hard and it's a massive resource sink.

With a combined fleet, if you put your yasen gear on the main fleet, can it still activate for night battles?

I'm guessing not, but I don't know for sure.

>>13021112
>Should I switch to clearing Medium instead of Hard for E3 and onward in hopes of making it in time for Valentines?
As far as I remember, E3 on medium requires more kills than on hard.

>>13021228
No

>>13021202
>>13021234
Started with around 25k fuel, so E2 took a toll on my fuel with Ru-class sending me back home constantly. Aside from that my only two CAVs are at base levels which makes me hesitant to go for hard mode.

>>13021299
Well, you'll probably need CAVs for E-3 in any difficulty and, like the other anon said, you'll just end up needing more kills to clear E-3, so try to clear E-3 on hard. Combined fleet battles are a clusterfuck anyway, so the levels of one or two ships mean even less then they usually do.
To me, E-3 was easier than E-2 because of my rotten luck.

What's the best setup for a CL to trigger AA cut in?

>>13021632
Use Ooyodo and give her Akizuki gun + any other main gun she can equip + recon plane + air radar.

>>13021632
Red akizuki gun radar.

>>13021644
>>13021647
Alright thanks.

FuMO is air radar, right?

Are san shiki worth against E-2 boss on my FBBs?

>>13021685
Correct.

>>13021713
No.

This event is not as hard as E-5 for Musashi without that random compass at the end. I played E-1and E-2 hard, E-3 medium, E-4 medium and E-5 easy. This event is a resource sink as I used the hotels and 2 support expeditions for E-5. Used about 210 buckets, 35k-40k steel mainly to repair hotels, 40k fuel, 30k ammo and not much bauxite used (maybe 10k? not sure on that).

Anyone above level 80 but without the class-A medal is automatically a kuso.

>>13021921
I haven't even started the event yet.

>>13021931
That is not relevant to what I said, though.
You could still clear all maps on hard, so you're not yet a kuso a by default.

>>13021936
Technically I don't have a class A medal, and I could still fail to clear E5 on hard mode.

Even so, I do not intend to back down without a fight.

>>13021921
I started event under nat regen because I believed Tanaka that it would be medium-sized event like fall. I'm fighting against time to gather resources, the gauge is 2/3 full and I'm back to 10k fuel/ammo 6k steel. I'm going to crush it or it's going to crush me, there's no other way out.

>>13022006
Godspeed. ;_;

>>13022006
Good luck, admiral.

>>13022006
>fall
>medium-sized
Mini event more like.

>>13021921
Why would you make allowances for newshit? If you didn't get to level 80 by the time this event started you're a kuso too.

>>13022038
To be fair people expected level scaling so they tried keeping their levels low. I wouldn't blame them for having to face what the devs are giving us now.

>>13022037
Tanaka said that Fall '14 was medium sized. I guess by that he meant 3 normal operations. Can't blame him, it was totally my fault.
At least my subs finally see some action after being neglected for half a year. My plight rides on how much steel and fuel I can get with slaving them non-stop for the next 2 weeks.

>>13022065
Yeah, but I didn't see the tweet and I thought it was announced to be a mini-event. I was wrong but then looks like I wasn't far from the truth either.

I think he was still stuck in 2013's standards of a medium event when he announced it.

>>13022076
E-5 doesn't look like medium no matter how you spin it.

>>13022085
Considering how spring 2014 was (medium too, right?), I'd consider it a natural progression of standards.

I get this feeling that the most difficult map of the next big event will make E5 on hard look like a walk in the park.

E-5 is giving me a fucking PTSD, jesus christ. I'm so depressed right now.

>>13022094
If boss was landlubber like goth loli then I'd call it medium, yes. Would fit quite nice with WG42 too.
Well whatever, it's not like anything is going to change by complaining.

>>13020974
bretty gud
No fail run yet, worst is SUPER KTKM-SAMA getting sent home by fleet command facility.
Bar at half right now while I am waiting for my expedition sluts to come back to swap in my supports.

>>13022124
>If boss was landlubber like goth loli then I'd call it medium, yes.
I consider this jump in difficulty to be part of the natural progression.

>Well whatever, it's not like anything is going to change by complaining.
Of course it does, complaining on /jp/ is known to work wonders.

>>13022134
Have you advanced with red Goya? I thought late model wos can attack subs, that's a dangerous gamble.

>>13022162
Nice misinformation.
They dont.

PRAISE KTKM-SAMA ONCE AGAIN SAVE THE EVENT

What's the best place to hunt for Asashimo, Hayashimo and Kiyoshimo?

I don't have Shigure nor Yukikaze. Is it worth to equip my destroyers with torpedoes despite the low cut-in chance? E-5 Hard.

>>13022370
Use Hayashimo and Ayanami
What high lvl admiral doesnt have them miracle DDs anyway?
Are you new?

>>13022370
Try it for yourself, see if it works out. You still have 2 weeks to do it, so you might as well try different sets and compostions.

>>13022006
It's your fault for believing anything in the first place.

>>13022038
I'm an elitist, not a retarded elitist.

>>13022378
>Hayashimo
>miracle DD
Ayyy

Wo-class is love.
Wo-class is life.

>>13022378
Just newer got around to level them.

>>13020634
>dreaming of beating events
This shit last happened to me in 2013 Autumn when I was facing the lovecraftian horror known as Henderson-chan.

>>13022378
I do have them, just never got around leveling them. Might use them anyway.

>>13022380
I wish I had the fuel and buckets to test stuff.

I want to fuck a boat.

>>13022400
Fuck you Wo!

>>13022428
>boat
Wrong board, buddy.

Agh, fucking BB hime at E-3, knocks at least one of my ships to red

I'm now considering sticking a Fleet Command Facility.

Running Hard, using 2 FBB, 2 CAV, 2 CVL + 1 CL, 1 CA, 4 DD

Trying for a Furutaka, I get a sub. Try again and I get a shimakaze. Then I get a ship load of Isuzu's. How the fuck does this ship not show up?

>>13022385
You know I meant Hatsushimo

>>13022431

Nope.

Wiki retards spouting shit like the medal could still be claimed even if only E5 was cleared on hard and the other maps are cleared in easy or medium.

>>13022473
Go Formation 4. I'm on my last kill on hard and BB hime only sent me back once. 4 sorties in total.

>>13020064
Super KTKM-sama came through for me on that one. Took the Wo from scratched to dead in one shot at night.

>>13020233
I bought the two extra repair docks and three fleet expansions. If you love your girls they love you back. The extra repair docks help A LOT, especially during events.

>>13022648
How much is are the extra repair docks? like $8 right? and fleet expansion? I'm running out of ship slots and it breaks my heart to see my ships go.

>>13021012
I've gotten 4 of her from the boss in E-2 so I'd suggest that...

>>13022660
1k yen each for both. Do the conversion yourself.

>>13022648
Extra repair docks are useless, just bucket everything. You did stockpile buckets didn't you?

>>13022648
Extra docks during events are useless given the fact that the average repair will take several hours.

>>13022475
You have no idea how angry I am that Furutaka hasn't dropped for me yet. I've had 3 Yukikazes drop, 2 I-8s, 3 or 4 Akagis...but no damn Furutaka. Once she drops at least I'll be able to blast through a bunch of composition quests.

>>13022660
Something like that, Yen is super low compared to the dollar. You have to buy DMM points, the only logical ones are 2000, 3000, and 5000 or if you really love your girls 10000.

>>13022704
You don't desire enough

How much is it to marry a ship? Why do I need to pay to give love? Are they all sluts?

>>13022690
>>13022679
I don't think they're useless. I don't play to streak through and I can swap out ships, plus repair scratch damage fast. I one events I try to clear one run before work so I can bucket whoever would take over 10 hours to repair and dock the rest.

>>13022704
I feel like they turned the drop rate on her just to troll. It's obviously happening to more than one person.

>>13022730
You can't place a price on eternal love.

>>13022724
Every time I see a one hour build time I get excited...and then I get another Kumaaaaaaa

>>13022731
You can use Akashi to repair scratch damage when you're out. Also you don't need to repair if they're still green and even yellow is fine at times.

Is this raffle registration common for games like this in Japan? Its pretty annoying.

>>13022778

it was never intended really to get this popular

they were just expecting only a guntaku and history affectionates to be the only real population.

So how bad is E-5?

>>13022883
That depends on how bad you are.

>>13022883
Only the last kill is tough really. Use a command facility and put a damecon on Kaga and you'll make it to the boss 100% of the time.

>>13022890
You mean how lucky you are right?

>>13022944
After spending all day watching TTKs streaming E-5 on Twitch using things like Hatsushimo cut-ins, Akizuki, Ooyodo or Naka + 1 CLT all to varying degrees of failure I'm inclined to disagree.

Is BB Hime just here to make the mission more luck-based? I'm already doing E-3 on Easy and even with red HP and top-right formation she still knocks a modernized carrier to red and forces a retreat.

KCV Horizontal update when?

Can I get banned for using KCV?

>>13022985
Yes.

>>13022969
Everything is already luck based.

>>13022985
You can get banned for just playing the game.

is there any lewd art of the equipment fairies?

>>13023083
Why don't you go find out yourself.

>>13023122
Maybe he doesn't want to waste his time searching for something he doesn't know if exists or not and wants a confirmation of its existence before searching?

>>13023134
Maybe you should go back to whichever shithole you crawled out from.

>>13022969
She's a skill check for TTKs.

Is the WG42 useful? After the difficulty I had clearing E-2 medium I'm considering dropping to easy for the rest of the event.

Ok, let me ask, just what equipment setup allowed you guys to gain air superiority versus 2 Black Wock Shooters?

If its something ridiculous I might as well turn down the difficulty because even with 3 46cm guns with all Sanshikis, I still cant get air advantage (Kaga was using a Reppu Kai, Reppu and a Type 62 Fighter-Bomber with a Saiun)

>>13023134
They exist.

>>13023261
Guns and AA cut-ins and Sanshiki don't do anything to superiority, dude
They shoot at whatever your fighters don't take down.

I used Carrier Task Force and got sent to E. What gives?

>>13023276
Should I just bet my luck on using full Reppu/Shiden-Kai/Veteran Zero loadout for Akitsumaru and Kaga then?

>>13023308
If this is E-3, I use Kaga and Taihou, two Reppu 601, Reppu Kai a reppu, some Type 62 and a saiun plus Tone sisters with a Type 12 Zuin each

Can i replace CAVs with normal CAs in E-3? For example in BB+1BBV+2CAV+CV, turn that into 2CA, i have only 2 CAVS who are only around lvl 30 so i don't want them to keep getting crit'd.

>>13023346
CAVs are always different from CAs if branching rules call for one and not both.

>>13023404
Problem is that the wiki is not telling it as a branching rule, just as a tip. I guess i'll just try with CAs or go with something else but i was just wondering if someone is using CAs on E-3.

Does anyone know if Unryuu drops on E4 normal? I am inclined to drop to normal for E-4 because 1 medal more is whatever but I plan on doing E-5 on hard.

fucking bullshit E3 bbhime keeps criting one of my BBs and sending my whole fleet back when I only need 2 more kills, so fucking irritating.

>>13023424
You know what's irritating? When Yukikaze failed to cut-in when you have all yasen equipment activated. Godfuckingdamnit.

>>13023424
If you are already that close you should not worry that much. Just RNG being RNG.

>>13023423
E4 hard is easy mode

>>13023433
Yes I know, I'm doing the magic complaining on 4chan

>>13023432
I had that happen too, not only yukikaze, shigure and ayanami and prinz failed to cut in even though I had searchlight and night recon, I WAS FUCKING PISSED.

Just got to E-3, is it LoS heavy or light like E-2?

>>13023451
Yes.

i don't have hotel sisters, what's the best comp for e5 ? can i repace with 2 kongou sisters ?

also, it's necessary for adding 1 sub in second fleet ?

What formation do I use for E3 and onwards? I dont remember which ones were good since the event before midway or whenever the fuck combined fleet was introduced.

>>13023467
Try it should be no issue.

I hate E-2 so so so fucking much

everything is green and fine until I got to this single node

I went back like 10 times already thanks to them, god fucking damn

>>13023524
You should take Isokaze's advice.

>>13023254

its pretty much bonus damage against land-based enemies for ships that cannot equip Type 3 Shell, I saw Yahagi do 200 total double attack to Hoppo Seiki with 2 Yellow Guns 1 WG42 during day battle.

>>13023467

4 Kongous and 2 Light Carriers, Naka or Agano (herself) and 1 Torpedo Cruiser on second fleet appears to go to south route avoiding Light Cruiser Demon but hitting the whirpool, otherwise yes 1 Submarine on second fleet for north route.

>>13023524
That shield formation won't work there. Man up and go line ahead all the way.

>>13023558
Strange that it doesn't serve submarines too well.

Managed to pass E-3 on Hard, and it was a close one.

Night battle went with a lightly damaged CL Demon and two elite Wo, one yellow, one orange.

Princess Squishyass damages CL Demon, Yasen gets hit to orange and damages the CL Demon, Shiggy's cut-in hits the CL Demon, but doesn't crit, and Poi kills one of the Wo. And Fubuki jobbed it hard at the day, getting crit from full health to 1 HP

And then Ayanami's cut-in hits the CL Demon.

I guess a ring is in order.

>>13023485
>>13023563
thanks , anon.

I haven't seen the boss at E-5 for probably 15+ runs

Fuck this shit

>>13023606

try sparkling your carriers and the entire second fleet, it might help. Dont worry about Battleships morale as long as its 40-49+

If I knew nip, I'd gladly tell the devs this event is shit. Even more luck/cut-in based than summer.

>>13023643

Good god no, at least for E-5 anyway, Combined Fleet's evasion bonus made it much easier than dancing with Summer 2014 E-6's:

-Double Line Ta Flagship and Nu Flagships
-6 Opening Torpedo Submarines
-Aircraft Carrier Princess
-Sha-sha-sha-don night nodes
-Massive Effective LOS requirements

Forgot to put reppuu after sparkling my carrier
RIP IN PEACE E5 run

>>13023658
I'll be able to re-evaluate only if I can get that e-peen/mistery function medal.

>>13023524
I know your pain anon. I got 2 kills to go, and the last 4k of my steel went to trying to get it back.

I have set aside the next 2 days just to grind back my resources, and perhaps a bit of ship grinding as well.

Second time in a row E3 Pre-boss crits one of my ships to red.
And they are even sparkled.

Sorry to bring troubleshooting stuff into here but this has been annoying the fuck out of me and I can't find a solution on google or the KCV FAQ

I've updated KCV to the latest version and whenever I try to play with my API link the game loads extremely quickly and the game repeatedly refreshes into the upper left corner until it disappears into infinity.
The game has worked flawlessly until I updated and I'm using the most updated API link. As far as I'm concerned everything else is working and up to date but KCV still refuses to cooperate.

>>13023658
>-Double Line Ta Flagship and Nu Flagships
Easy
>-6 Opening Torpedo Submarines
What's wrong with it? You don't like free pass node?
>-Aircraft Carrier Princess
Agreed, but you have damecons as insurance for that
>-Sha-sha-sha-don night nodes
If you had a different compo, yes, otherwise it's not worth it.
>-Massive Effective LOS requirements
I miss this mechanic. Better than random maelstrom, and you may want to bring some useless shit like Akashi and Katori to avoid it, bringing a SS is suicidal too.

>>13023663
Sparkling a shit

>>13023734

"Easy"
You dont know what kind of trolls Ta Flagships are do you.
"What's wrong with it? You don't like free pass node?"
Same as above. You have no idea how accurate Echelon Flagship Ka-Class was against 86-98 morale ships.
"Agreed, but you have damecons as insurance for that"
It isnt everyone that used damage control back then to make up for LOS.
"If you had a different compo, yes, otherwise it's not worth it."
It definitely was worth it for Standard Carriers shelling during the last enemy formation.
"I miss this mechanic. Better than random maelstrom, and you may want to bring some useless shit like Akashi and Katori to avoid it, bringing a SS is suicidal too."
LOS Formula has changed and been verified since then, and it was only to determine whether you would go to the boss or not, and not going to whirpools

First six kills no problems at E2 boss, on the last kill everyone missed everything. Atleast Chikuma managed to save the day during yasen. I guess the 51cm was worth it though.

Why the fuck would anyone want to do anything but an easy clear on E4? They need to give better incentives for harder difficulties like E2 or E3 does.

>>13023760
Probably because E4 is piss easy?

>>13023760
TOP CLASS.
Say Anon kun, you want to be Kuso, or you want to have the TOP class Medal of E-peen Honour?
It'll give you fifth fleet, shinano and 51cm equipped SuperYamato kai ni.

>>13023764
You guys say this about every map and they're always a pain in the ass.

Finally got a clean E-5 kill, if only it was final

>>13023781
E4 is easier than E2

>>13023768
Also raises the level cap to 200 and lets you get Iona back permanently.

>>13023768
But that's for E5 hard mode.

>>13023792
I also heard that it materializes Musashi and she becomes your sex slave.
Also gives Immortality.

>>13023790
If I defeat CVHime this run, then I'll agree.
But If I don't, then E4 is harder, empirically.

>>13023799
You have to clear ALL fucking maps on HARD, anon.
How ignorant are you, exactly?

>>13023781
Pretty much, E-1 to E-3 was easy for me, Im getting fucked in E-4, need 2 more klls, I cant get them, and now beaver is back to its old self and getting red left and right, fuck this game.

>>13023792
999 for married ships. They are shooting enemy shells back at enemy with the evasion they have at that level.

>>13023720
Double check your API link, I had the same issue and tried reinstalling internet explorer, KCV, flash and everything else I could think of before I realized that there was a / at the end of my API link that was causing it.

>>13023809
Oh i thought it was just E5 hard.

>>13023817
Deleted the / at the end and it works perfectly now. Thanks a lot both you and >>13023756

Have a KTKM

>>13023790
>>13023806

Nope. E2 confirmed for harder.
E4 at about 65 buckets, 25 sorties or so, currently on 5th for final kill.

>>13023839
Fuck, I meant E4. Time to sleep.

>>13023749
>You dont know what kind of trolls Ta Flagships are do you.
I did, Ta only sent me back once and only once. Your support fleet sucked or you didn't bother to send a support at all.
>Same as above. You have no idea how accurate Echelon Flagship Ka-Class was against 86-98 morale ships.
I bet you pulled it out from your ass, it's not echelon, subs used Line Abreast, and they miss all the time.
>It isnt everyone that used damage control back then to make up for LOS.
Bringing two saiun and some zero observer planes can make up for that easily.
>It definitely was worth it for Standard Carriers shelling during the last enemy formation.
Not until you wanted a life and death situation in the night battles.
> and it was only to determine whether you would go to the boss or not
You're fucking idiot, It's so obvious you don't even know what you're talking about. Looking back at Summer 2014, it determined much easier routes in E-2 if you brought 2 DDs with enough LoS and unstable LoS requirements in E-4.

Do you guys think this selectable difficulty system is here to stay for future events?

Fuck

>>13023855
Probably. It makes a lot more sense than forced level scaling.

>>13023861
I had 24/500 as my best score. Step up, nigga.

>>13023809
Wait what the fuck? Now there are multiple people saying you need to only clear E-5 Hard for the epeen medal and others saying you need all of them. Which one is true?

And another red, fuck E-4, I hope they call me tomorrow for the job so I can get out of this shithole, fuck yukikaze.

>>13023873
The thing is I would have beat it if I went in with parallel or had my plane triggered.
Went in with perfect fleet

Still pass, but lost

>>13023839
Shitty resource graph.

http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv209864278

someone advancing with second fleet's flagship submarine in red and not being sunk by Light Cruiser Demon and Late Model Destroyers on E-3. Looks like the flagship really doesnt sink afterall. A submarine anyway though.

>>13023929
The fuck do you think you're doing subhuman.

>>13023861
Your order is wrong. You want your hard hitters at the bottom, not the top.

>>13023966
Blame Ru for that

>>13023929
Good riddance.
Even CVLs are more useful than that hoeshitter. You were already foolish enough to keep her.

>>13023982
I want them to get their shot off before they get rekt by BB Hime.
Didn't work out that well since they all got killed and it was only Shigure/Bismarck/Ooyodo left.

>>13023995
Sunk her at low level, don't need her anymore

>20k resources used
>30k left
>about 200 damage to E-5 boss

Welp, I guess this event is over for me.

>>13023962

Shioi tanked Diamond Formation Late Model Destroyers and Nu Flagships while advanced in red so a 2nd Fleet Flagship Submarine on Carrier Escort Combined Fleet does not sink no matter what.

On E-3 (easy), started playing like two weeks ago. First attempt went well until boss, CL Demon sent me back with 5 ships in red. Anything in my comp I can change to do more damage against her, or is it all equipment based?

I thought I couldn't be bothered by being dicked by RNGesus anymore.
I was wrong

>>13024039
Place BB above CVL.

>>13024039
Not much you can do besides level up ships at your HQ level.
Events are poorly designed for low level TTKs. You end up screwed over by branching requirements.

>>13023878
Think, anon.
Use the brain your parents gave to you.
The Reward is a mistery TOP CLASS Medal, and a PvP Insignia.

So, do you thing such reward is suited for those that went the easy way out, saving resources up to E-5, or it should be only for those that cleared everything on hard?
Who is the true TOP CLASS here?

The answer is pretty straightforward.

So I clicked the red register button too early and I'm stuck at the server list. Do I have to do something specific to get into the lottery now or just refreshing that page is enough?

>>13023575
Subs have no firepower. Even if you multiplied their fp x5, it would still be nothing.

>>13024064
Wait till the time they listed on the twitter account

>>13024039
CV/CVLs etc always at the bottom of your fleet goy BBs at the top

>>13023524
How the hell are you planning to win vs Rus by cutting your own firepower?

>>13024055
E-3 will be my last seriously attempted map.
All I ever wanted from this was U-511, anything else is a bonus.

>>13024085
If they haven't changed the tiers, the difficulty brackets are HQ lvl 1-39, 40-79.
Try not to level up too much if you're under lvl 40.
Focus on leveling up the ships you're using for E3 comp.
You can try using support expeditions too if you have the resources and ships to do it.

Goddamm
E5 last kill confirmed for toughest map to date.

Is it possible to do the current event on ez mode if I'm a lvl 21 scrub?

>>13024073
Anon, I've read wiki and stuff, just couldn't find an exact answer for that. So I need to start refreshing the server page each 3-5 minutes in 1 hour and 40 minutes. I thought "the lottery" was literal.

>>13024093
HQ 31 at the moment, usually level up through 1-5 and PvP.
Sure as hell don't have the resources to do support expeditions seeing as how I've got no fuel at the moment.

>>13024097
E1 is piss easy if you craft ASW equips. E2 might be trouble but if you have battleships and carriers it should be doable. Good luck on E3 though because combined fleet will sap your resources like nothing else, and enjoy your BB himes.

>>13024104
Save up resources until the end of the event and then try.
You're really close to hitting the next difficulty bracket.
I'm not sure what else to say.
Events are not friendly to low level TTKs just because of composition requirements

>>13024127
What high of resources would you advise? I got 30,000 of each and 300 repair buckets.

>>13024127
Guess I'll just do that then, thanks for the help. Gunna be hard to resist the allure of cute girls and naval artillery.

>>13024137
Stockpiling makes sense only BEFORE the event.

>>13024140
Hopefully someone else can give a better answer.
I'm not the most knowledgeable out there. Just the only one on at this time of night
Good luck

>>13024127
How high of resources would you advise? I got 30,000 of each and 300 repair buckets. I got all the Kongous besides Kirishima, Nagato and Akagi and Souryu, Kiso Kai Ni and KTKM. That enough for the combined fleets at the end?

>>13024151
>>13024148
>>13024140
There's no point stockpiling and waiting until the end. Just play until you run out and take breaks. Although hes close to medium bracket, he can still choose easy mode, don't think the maps themselves scale to HQ level.

>>13024140

I was under the impression it does, but if the easy, medium, hard difficulty choices don't scale with level, I'd go with this guy's advice
>>13024155

>>13024151
I was referring to the HQ lvl 31 TTK.
No idea what your situation is.

Nah, E3 recommended 2FBB/2CAV/2CVL and CL/CA/4DD can't go past pre-boss node without support. That fucking thing keeps hitting to red one ship at random.

>>13024151
Man why would you hoard so much resources when you are that low level.
You gotta play the game and actually get ships and level your stuff.
E1-E4 on hard mode is like 15k-20k resources and about 100buckets provided you have your stuff.

>>13024173
I don't think he's the same lvl 31 guy I replied to. Unless he's got a lvl 65 Kiso K2 at lvl 31

>>13024115
If I get through e1 and stop there do I have to go through it again later? Also I got only as far as the boss for e1 with 0 asw and just double line.

>>13024180
Read the wiki a bit more.
You have to deal 500% of the boss heal over at least 5 runs.
The last percentage has to be a complete kill.
Also, line abreast (bottom right) is the best ASW formation

Anybody finding the WG42 worth of it so far?

Trying to decide between Easy or Medium on E-3

>>13024193
No use for it yet. Might be part of some new game mechanics.

Just tried running E-3 on easy and didn't go very well.

Only CAV I have is Mogami and she isn't that strong yet and my Kumano is around her level as well. But I going to have to get them up to clear E-3.

>>13024193
See >>13023558
Seriously, ctrl+f isn't hard.

I finally know the KTKM feeling.
Thank you for ending my suffering.

>>13024172
Nah they work fine for me. Only time I needed support was for the final kill since my CVLs became Reppuu mules at that point. Took a total of 7 tries to clear E3 on hard.

How's my E2 setup looking?
I'm a rather new TTK, please be gentle.

I miss the floating fortresses. They were cute. I wonder why they're not putting those in anymore.

>>13024274
Too easy.

>>13024268
I'd add 15.2cm Naval Gun/15.5cm Triple Gun Mount if you got them the BB. Also a lot more air radar for LOS.

>>13024242
Your ego is showing, anon.
It is a bad illness, you should keep it under check

>>13024268
Put KTKM as a flagship for more Super KTKM-sama awesomeness.

I'm pretty close to swapping off E5 hardmode. I can't fucking survive pre-boss 90% of the time

>>13024268
I'm not sure if non-Kai-Ni Kitakami is very useful. But I guess you don't have Yukikaze or anyone better in her place. Your fleet should work fine for now but on the final kill it would probably be best to have someone with torpedo cut-in.

>>13024290
She's not even kai2.

>>13024297
Stop doubting KTKM-sama.

>>13024268
Radars on BBs, 2 reds are enough.
Do you have enough resources to get KTKM to 50 for k2? Its quite a significant powerspike + she gets better torpedo.

Do you have Yukikaze/Shigure/Hatsushimo? They will save your ass more than useless BBs.
Not sure if you can clear hard, might be better to just go easy and aim for Yuu/Katori/Amagi.

>>13024301
>Not sure if you can clear hard, might be better to just go easy and aim for Yuu/Katori/Amagi.
He probably can't even choose the hard difficulty due to his low HQ level.

>>13024301
Probably doesn't even have access to hard yet.

>>13024300
Without Kai Ni she's a very shitty CL with very good torpedo stat and opening strike capable of killing DDs.

>>13024268
Houshou is shit. If you have Jun'you Kai or any CV, swap her with them.

>>13024268
KTKM will make you eat Maelstrom if you end up near it so at least grab a radar.

Dpes anyone else have trouble getting aircraft carriers?

I keep getting light ones and construction gives me anything but.

Let's do this shit!

>>13024301
I have enough resources to get KTKM to 50, I'll work on that starting now.

I have Shigure and Hatsushimo, I'm on easy because of my lack of equips thanks for the advice.

>>13024282
>>13024290
>>13024295
>>13024310
>>13024320
Should I just drop KTKM and put in a DD for the time being while I get KTKM up to Kai Ni?

I want flags activated for jp so I can automatically hide all shitskin posts

>>13024332
Do you have any AA fire directors?

>>13024332
My KTKM is pretty much the same level and I cleared E-2 on easy pretty quickly. I would leave her in.

>>13024328
Akagi from quest, Hiryuu from construction, Souryuu drop from this event. I don't craft too much since I was saving up for event. Probably just bad luck since the odds are low-ish.

>>13024339
Not that I know of.

>>13024173
>>13024178
Yeaaaah, about that.
Level 40 TTK with level 88 Kiso K2. Everyone else besides Imuya is in the 40s.

>>13024339
It's obviously a new TTK so I doubt he has any AA cut-in gear.

>>13024331
Happening!

>>13024349
Then you have no use for DDs.
If you're going into the maelstorm anyway, might as well just slap some radars on and pray to RNG-sama.

>>13023873
This sort of thing happens to me in every event at least once.

>>13024391
>>13024394
Yep. Thanks, good luck and good bye.

I've wasted about 30k resources at E5 now and I've barely dented the meter. I'm using similar comps as those who've finished (Hotels, Nagato/Mutsu, CLTs and DD with full cut-in night equipment) and I just can't understand why I can't do anything in this map. Girls are getting blown away by Aircraft Oni, boss node everyone misses their attacks, I even had one lucky attempt where everything besides BB hime was killed and all my girls in good condition and they failed to cut-in or did mediocre damage with cut-in.

Am I severely unlucky or have others gotten lucky? Running out of resources and I don't think I can finish.

>>13024382
Yeah, formation 4, and married/lvl 99 ships.
Every time a CAV, CVL or DD gets hit to red.

>>13024415
Both, you need Yukikaze-tier luck to beat E5, but having lvl99 ships and things like full sparkle and command center might help

>>13024389
You're supposed to lurk before posting.

>>13024419
Well, shit maybe you're just damn unlucky. I used 70s-80s ships and never really had problems, only like once or twice I got a red ship and the remaining two were failed boss kills on final form. Just keep trying, we still have roughly 2 weeks to go.

>>13024415
Over 20 sorties on E5 and still no luck either. I've gotten to boss twice in all those attempts after getting sent home sometimes as early as the first node. All ships either 99/married, all great gear, but no matter what composition/formation I always get smoked before getting to the boss.

I've been sparkling and running all support expeditions and the only times I've gotten to the boss node are when I experience amazing luck.

>>13024430
Apply yourself.

Lv 21 Katori gives a bit above 3.8% exp boost when used as PvP flagship. I assume it's base 1% and rest is linearly scaled to her level, meaning lv 99 Katori would be giving exactly 15% bonus exp. Not much if you're grinding one ship but for whole fleet - not bad at all. Not to mention she's already being used in branching rules (E5) and has those delicious four slots. Also, her expedition is still a mystery.

>>13024415
Post equipment and webm of your usual E5 encounter.

I ran a similar setup to yours, only used 18k/18k/16k/2k/76 to shave ~50 percent of E5 gauge. And please don't mind the CLT setup, i forgot what CLT cut-in setup looks like.

>>13023929

It's normal for her

>>13024464
Are your support expeditions usually like that?

I'm lucky if I can wipe out trash DDs.

>>13024464
>Only one married ship

>>13024464
By the way guys remove Ooyodo
She is terribad

Also I realize it is not good to have searchlight on your flagship. With flagship protection you will damage your other ships when they try to take the hit for the flagship.
Use it on your weakest ship at position 2 with a CL. I suggest Jintsuu. Put your recon night plane on the BB.

What the hell

Is this normal? Did she get nerfed?

>>13024519
Refuel and clear cache

>>13024522
oh right. I am silly

I got in on my first lottery attempt!

>>13024486
No, usually it only damaged 2 or killed 1 abyssal.

Poi-AyanamiK2: 2x10cm 1xT22
Ise-class: 3x41cm 1xT22
RJ-Junyou: 3xSuisei-12A 1xJu87C

>>13024503
Ooyodo was there as a CL cut-in, maybe Sakawa would be a better choice.

>>13024534
Now go sink all your ships playing the event.

>>13024534
>already Sendai and Jintsuu
Man, you're having a nice start.

>>13024534
>whobucky starter
Absolutely disgusting

>>13024536
>Ooyodo was there as a CL cut-in, maybe Sakawa would be a better choice.
Wouldn't it be better to give Poi air radar so she can have the best DA set up and decent AA cut-in at once?

>finally getting all these bbs

how do i level them if i don't have 3-2 and need to optimize for the event?

i'm thinking 1-1 spam, but its not cost effective

>>13024542

Brute force 2-4 and 3-1. Lv1 Kongou was my MVP along with lv31 Hiei.

>>13024545
Poi on support expedition. On the escort fleet there's Shigure and Yukikaze using cut-in setup.
AA cut-in was Akashi's job.

>>13024561
2-4-A

Real talk here.
One married ship, No LSC ships at all.
Shitton of resources. Quite good equipment.
E5 doable on hard?

>>13024568
>>13024573
2-4A it is then. any max numbers or should i just load all four?

>>13024573
Ah, torpedo cut-in. Makes sense.

>>13024575
>One married ship
I doubt your ships have enough faith in you as a TTK if your intent is to send them out into the rough seas on Hard difficulty.

>>13024575
Managed to finish the spring event E5 with no Nagato, no hotels and 2 46cm guns. Don't see why not.

>>13024534
Nice fleet you got there, just take it easy and don't freak out if you're already out of resources after some sorties and crafting.

>>13024591
Comparing Spring event to this E5 reveals brain damage.

Got Agano from H node on E2 on easy for any of you other lower level TTKs

>>13024580
Four of what? Load all six ship slot.
Remodel them to kai and modernize them. After that, focus on crafting equipment for event maps.

But I think you need to see the event page and see which ships and equipment needed for the event.

>>13024575
Chipping the gauge? doable as long as you have good enough escort ships with cut-in setup.
Can't comment on final form.
Remember, we still have 10 days to complete the event.

>>13024632
>Four of what? Load all six ship slot.

i forgot to mention it was four bbs. i'll try to get them kai'd, but i'll also be trying e3 for kicks

>>13024613
she seems like a common drop along with hamakaze on the event maps

What do I do to start seeing what drops I get?

>>13024575
Probably.
I'm sitting on 35k fuel/ammo with

No married ships
No Bis/Hotels
Pretty shit EQs

and I'm trying hard mode. I've also done hard mode for E1-4 without anti air directors and having to field BBVs just to achieve AS at Wo-kai maps (who has reppuus anyway). Just do it for 1-2 days while gauging your results.

>>13024613
Is she notable besides being rare and somoene's waifu?

>>13024662
Her or Naka are required for ez modo routing in E4

>>13024644
Get a degree in MS Paint.

Why does the F Node of E-2 Always put my fucking CLVs to red, rigged bullshit.

>>13024681
Don't use CVls, they're shit. Get some real carriers.

>>13024644
Have Yuubari make your ship a Gameboy.

>>13024681
CVLs are the maruyus of the carriers

New TTK here, what lineup can get me to e1 boss or is it random?

>>13024694
I used 4DD 2CL, all setup with ASW of course.

>>13024694
1CL5DD with at least 1 scout plane and 1 radar

>>13024694
1CL5DD

equip yourself with ASW gear and rek everything

>>13024694
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Winter_2015_Event#E-1

>>13024694
Bring CL, stuff it with planes/radars until it lets you enter boss node. Consider Isuzu if you don't have one yet, Kai's at 12, comes with radar, natural sub smasher.

>>13024575
Clipping the gauge and bringing it to zero is easy mode.
I have already spent more resources and more sortie trying for last kill.

>>13024719
Are you trusting a full cut-in fleet, or are you going DA for final kill?

>>13024681
Git gud. My CVLs have no problems passing that node, making to the boss and wrecking shit.

>>13024683
What's a combo that gets no maelstrom that doesn't have a CVL in it.

Fuck this double line shit. 30 runs and it didn't get me shit. I'm going the Isowind way

>>13024724
The only way, unless there are sub involved. Get them before they get you.

>>13024721
My closest run so far is >>13023861

Changing shit up. Jintsuu replacing Ooyodo, SUPER KTKM-SAMA going cutin and flag position.
I dont have married ship so she is only at 40luck. Really should I have farmed more Maruyu.

On the brightside I still have 240k and 2k buckets. My patience just need to last.

>>13024723
2DD2fBB2CV. If your DDs are Kai Ni, they should be able to avoid enough to semi-reliably get past double Ru and double Nu. Definitely better bet than CVLs. I used this composition until final kill where I got mad at Yukikaze for not performing cut-in three times in row, switched her for Ashigara and went through mealstrom for the kill. Poi had DA AA-cut-in because Akizuki's yasen doesn't work on Wo Kai.

>>13024724
Why would you ever use Double Line on non-fodder nodes? (DL is preferred there, less scratches)

>>13024735
I'm talking about the whole run, I was using double line on everything and ahead on boss. half the time I didn't make it to the boss and only once managed to kill that fat bitch

Now I say fuck it, i'm going line ahead all nodes and maybe this fucking game will reward my bravery with this fucking last kill

>>13024739
Double line is stupid.
The only other formation you should be using is ASW for E1. Everything else listen to Isokaze.

>>13024744
I'm talking about E5 btw

>>13024739
Double Line only works if you have heavy BB/CV fleet and opponent has less than two flag BBs. Otherwise you have to use Line Ahead to cripple Rus fast. Even more true for CAs.

>>13024744
No, echelon is slightly better in yasen nodes. DL is for when LA would be overkill. Only diamond is truly useless.

>>13024745
You can't use Double Line or Line Ahead on E5.

>>13024750
I don't give a fuck about the real names, Double line is the upper right one and line ahead is the bottom right one

>>13024756
In that case I don't give a fuck about anything you write because you're a retard who calls green orange.

>>13024756
F2 was disastrous for me in E5, main fleet not hitting their target and being sent back to HQ 5 out 5 tries.
Compared to that, F4 is infinitely better.

>>13024169
Ditch the CAVs and go with CAs. Also use a CV instead of one of the CVLs and use your best CVL.

What destroyers are you using and what fleet setups are you using?

>>13024783
Shitty Indo TTKs

Should I send support expedition for E5 while chipping?

>>13024788
Of course.
You will reach Yorktown will full health and just need to pray for Yorktown to miss to reach boss.

Line ahead on yasen node on E4 yes?

>>13024785
Don't blame Indonesian all the time!

>>13024783
Stop attention whoring.

>>13024785
Stop falling for bait.

>>13024799
Stop telling others what to do.

>>13024794
Alright, just support for boss and praying for preboss I guess.
Still, my ships can't seem to hit anything at the boss and my cut-in squad gets wrecked hard before yasen even begins, ending with 6+ taiha. Fucking E5 man. Easy mode is tempting me now.

Is it weird that I never S rank E5 first node?

>>13024802
Stop being a hypocrite.

>>13024809
Boss guage is all that matters, everything else is fuck all.

>>13024810
Hypocrisy is great.

>>13024809
My results vary between A, S and Perfect S, S being the most common.

Just update yourself, and go curl in a corner crying.
The ships are long dead.

>>13024809
I S rank it most of the time, but if your support/CLTs suck it can turn into your BB missing the weaker ships a ton.

Also nothing like the CL bitch critting your 85 morale BB for 52 damage.

>>13024813
Yeah, but it's still weird. I've even S ranked CV oni nodes but never the first one.
>>13024825
I don't use support. Maybe that's why.

>>13024822
Just because one guy sinks all his rewards every event doesn't mean U-511 post wasn't damecon bait. Anyway, it doesn't matter.

>Armor 170

BB hime is on E3 preboss node regardless of difficulty or are you spared on easy?

What an annoying girl.

Has anyone tested if Fubuki k2 has a built-in AA director?

>>13024830
>One guy.
No, anon.
This event is so crappy, that those ships deserve to die.

>>13024846
I want to pinch Abyss Agano's fat.

>>13024853
Fake MC pls go.

>>13024853
I want to test this out myself but my fubuki isn't kai2 yet.
