Check your eyes, it's 6.
>>13029562

>>13029572
Yes, you just linked me a post with a picture showing 7. Please don't post on /jp/ while drunk.

>>13029577
Did you know trolling is not allowed outside of /b?

I've gotten this far with all maps on hard. Do I still have a chance at E-5 hard with no hotels or Bismarck?

>>13029589
At least you have more resources than me.

>>13029589
yes

>>13029589
More than enough. Go for it

>>13029605
1000 buckets worth nothing.

>>13029589
>those resources
Yeah man just keep on trying till you get it

>>13029589
I started E5 with 3x your fuel and 2x your ammo and I'm forever stuck on final sink ;_; I pray that you fair better than I did.

>>13029589
Do it man, I'm in a similar situation and I'm not going to give up. If you're patient you can drain your resources below regen rate and then sortie again when it hits cap and sparkle in PVP.

>>13029589
More than enough. I did the whole event with 50k. Many others too.
Pre final form the difficulty is like E3, route suport is a must though. With AS at boss you will destroyed them easily.

Lvl 5 TTK here.
Is there any benefit to doing pvp dailies/weeklies? Rewards don't cover expenses. It feels like doing sorties for quests are just plain better for gains.
I have zero chance at doing anything even remotely event related before it ends, right?
Is there some super important ship/composition I should aim for early?
I have Kirishima, Hiyou, Aoba, Choukai, Chitose, some CLs and DDs

>>13029702
You can powerlevel low level ships in PvP.

>>13029606
>>13029606
>>13029606

>>13029702
You might be able to clear E-1 if you get ASW equipment, check the wiki for recipes. I don't know how easy E-2 easy is, but most likely it's out of your reach.

Does E5's pre-boss water demon have some sort of trick?
It keeps one-shotting the first target and first target only.

>>13029963
Full sparkle route support shows up 99% of the time.
Do you even want to reach the boss node with a perfect fleet?

>>13029589
Yes.

>>13030042
Is using Katori worth it? or is the sub better?

I feel like Katori could get 1 shot by anything in any node if I'm unlucky

>>13030042
> 99
More like 90~95%.

I wish Katori counted as normal CL so I'd be able to put her in 2nd fleet to meet requirements.

>>13029702
>Is there any benefit to doing pvp dailies/weeklies? Rewards don't cover expenses.

Cheap experience.

>I have zero chance at doing anything even remotely event related before it ends, right?

Nope. You can craft ASW gear and do E1 at least. E2 is unlikely, though.

>Is there some super important ship/composition I should aim for early?

Just go for whoever you like. Ships stats don't matter except for a very few cases.

>>13030056
Sub doesnt cut it for last kill.
That said I took out Katori for my final kill and went with Akashi for AAcutin and Damecon.
You cannot do the last kill with just 10ships.

>>13030042
Did that once. Too bad I took a screenshot only after day battle. No sparkles apart from flag on support.

キタ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━!!!!!

>>13030073
Enjoy purest DD.

>>13030081

But the purest DD is your starter.

>>13030100
Not him but i forgot who is my starter already.

>>13030115

You'll never know the joys of taking your starter to all the events. Enjoy being kuso.

>>13030115
Sort by newest ship and check the last in the list.

>>13030125
Probadly modernization for the girl i love. At that time i didn't do daily scrap quest

>>13030100
Blame dev for not let player chose someone else than 5 shitty ship.

>>13030151

>>13030053

It only took about 10 sorties to get to killzone on hard, but it took close to 40 sorties after that for me to finish the BB water demon off.

>>13030124
I sank my starter within 3 hours of starting. How kuso am I?

>>13030163
Damn, still amazed that people can get that much. I can barely scrounge up 30k between events.

It's like I'm PvPing or something.

>>13030169
Kid tier

>>13030169
11/10 for you know not what you hath done.

Ayanami you magnificent cutie. I didn't even realize I was on the last kill. Even better that support took out a CVL and destroyer.

Amagi looks so out of place

>>13030194
You sure have a tiny room, anon.

>>13030193
Ayanami is one polite and gentle demon god.

>>13030194
Surround her with the sake/wine shelves. Looks like she's wasted as hell.

You can't fix what's not broken.

>>13030194
This slut will pay for all suffering i have from E-5

>>13030232
The way it works now is retarded.

>>13030242

Just like you.

>>13030238
I want to cuddle Amagi on The Chair.

>>13030238
>suffering
I wouldnt call clearing everything by the 4th day suffering.

>>13030246
Thanks for being so intelligent in responding.

>>13030259
It is. E5 was torturous. It's comparable to Ironbottom E4 imo.

Fuck, E-5 is so depressing. I hope I can at least get the gauge down today

I'm currently doing 4CA/V 2DD E4, quite the same results as with naka/agano fleet.
Both need support and can't kill the boss, they chip her health.

Am I doing something wrong there?

>>13030270
I can't believe that argument devolved to the point you had to post a gif of it.
It's amazing how some TTKs can't logic

>>13030124
If my starter would get a K2, I would bring her to events.

>>13030231
What's wrong with green T?

>>13030289
Cutin
Do you know it?
1shot 1kill

>>13030307
It has absolutely no correspondence to reality.

Yes, not very much of this game does, but it's something that's just fucking retarded, like if air superiority caused enemy bombers to do more damage or some shit.

>>13030194
Nah.

>>13030307
That it also gives damage boost to the enemy. Which is retarded, as the whole point of crossing the T is fucking over your enemy to gain advantage

>>13030311
Nah, Beaver cut in but she doesn't outright kill boss.

>>13030307
Currently T crossing gives both you and the enemy fleet the advantage/disadvantage when in real life one side of the T is fucked while the other fills them with oles.

>>13030231
Green T works the way it does in game because realistic "green T" would be instawin.

>>13030312
It's webgame. If you want reality go to >>>/k/

>>13030321
>>13030323
Does it work both ways, as in if the enemy T crosses you, you get the same buffs?

>>13030325
It's still retarded that you are willingly trying to avoid a favorable scenario (crossing the enemy fleet) because of fumbled game mechanics.

Where my E-5 medium bros at? Not good enough for hard but greedy enough for the extra medal.

>>13030333
That's how it would plausibly work. Although it would pretty make Saiun mandatory for, well, everything.

>>13030340
That would imbalance the game because your T would never be crossed unless you are new and don't have Saiun.

>>13030335
Meh, I don't think "green T" and "red T" are that bad.

Some things have to be unrealistic in order to actually work in a game, just like the fixed capacity on plane slots.

>>13030303

My starter hasn't gotten a Kai 2 yet and it looks like she won't get one anytime soon, but I love her nonetheless. She's been to every event since I started and she even got a badge of honor at one point for participating and aiding in the completion of Midway.

>>13030339

>>13030335
It might actually be better this way from a gameplay perspective. Either they don't change Saiun, in which case you never get reds (which is already dumb, but especially dumb considering that CV Hime can probably scout just as well as you) - or you do get reds, in which case the entire battle is just an unsalvageable six-way trip to Taihaland and you get salty.

What's your usual route for E-5? I went ACEHJ when I started but then it's always ACEGJ. Yorktown aside, I can't get along with that Ru Kai.

>>13030365
Read wiki

why are they such absolutely worthless trash?

>>13030379
>why are they such absolutely worthless trash?

When you refer to them like that it's no wonder.

>>13030379
That's what you get for bringing hotels.

Can I get some help prepping a lineup for E-5? Current ships are in pic. I have unleveled subs, Ooyodo, no Akashi or Akitsu Maru if that helps.

>>13030386
Forget it.

>>13030379
>CVLs

>>13030383
What am I supposed to do when the same ships fuck up every run? I'm not blaming my CVLs since there is no wonder and I'm not exactly expecting them to do anything since they have like 8 62s each, but all all 4 bbs miss all but 1 attack and otherwise the destroyers do most of the work, how can you colour me surprised?
When I used Yuudachi before putting in Goya, she did more damage to the boss than any of the BBs, it's a joke

>>13030384
I already tried using the Kongous, but they don't even manage to sink a single enemy ship in day battle.

>>13030393
>tfw i chip damage boss with 4 monkeys and 2CVLs. It ran very smooth

>>13030379
Put in some AP shell nerd
They 1shot everything in there except for the boss.

>>13030408
I don't know what makes you think I'm not already using those

>>13030398
>don't even manage to sink a single enemy ship in day battle
Proto guns, zebra guns and German kai guns. Use them.

>>13030410
Use type 1 AP shells

>>13030408
>>13030413
>>13030414
Here you go comedians, the same loadout I've used for the last 10 sorties. It's already not working.

>>13030386
Enjoy your ezmode kuso TTK

How do I use B-D-G-I-M at E4?
Naka+Yukikaze+Shigure+??

Can I bring Nagato or a proper CV?

>>13030424
>129 Musashi
Shamefur dispray
I did the whole thing without marriage ship.
By the way, your hotel should be using the 51cm/46cm while your monkey should be using 41cm. Swap your equipment and stop using inferior AP shell.
Also +1 your shit. Every placebo count.

>>13030424
Remove hotels.
Remove 46cm.

>>13030424
Kirishima is too heavy, meanwhile you're under-gunning the hotels.

Suggestion: Put one 46cm on each hotel, put the lighter 35.6cm~38cm guns on Kirishima.

>>13030424
>zuihou
>chitits
Check your AS.
You have no AS at boss, of course you wont do daytime cutin. You only have 245FP

Someone posted a log chart indicating that there was a weight penalty for stacking 46cm on Kongou class a while back? It only gets bad when you shove on three or four but I'm assuming that the effect exists even for two and was mostly invisible due to choice of targets (it drops to like 3% for all two-gun setups).

>>13030424
Take out Zuihou, put in one full fledged CV, better if you have Taihou.

>>13030424
One hotel should be using 51cm+46cm, 46cmx2 or 46cmx41cm for Nagamon and the other hotel. Female titan should use 41cm instead of 46cm.

Zuihou sucks balls, no really. Acceptable CVLs are Chitoyo, RJ or even Junyou. And I'd rather go full green, not like that blue plane will do anything.

>>13030456
>Zuihou sucks balls, no really.
the bitterest of truths

>>13030447
A lot people just laughed at it because the "penalty" for stacking 2 46cm was too small to have any noticeable effect.
But with the combined miss and scratch mechanic it seems to bite a few guys in the ass now.

>>13030447
This event showed even more that Accuracy>>Firepower.
You can give 2x46cm to your Kongous and post 100k test results just to prove your point, but with combined fleet misses you are just cutting your balls shorter.

>>13030467
Yes. It's bad. If you must use a Kongou, set her up so that she's using prototype 41cms.

>>13030467
Was there even any penalty? I don't remember the difference being greater than 1%, which is very much within the margin of error.

>>13030455
I'll take Taihou, but who else should I take then? There is a free space. Whatever you say, I probably have it so say away.

>>13030456
>>13030465
You got to use Jun'yo. RJ doesn't carry enough plane for this. I went with Hiyo and Jun'yo.

>>13030465
She's still cute as hell and I keep her around to hear her squeal.

>>13030435
Monkeys can hold two 46cms m8

>>13030447
>>13030447
Kongous are support expedition sluts for E5.
Use real ship like Bismarck, Hotels and Nagatos.

You are supposed to bring big gun for your decisive battle. This was the IJN big dream.

>>13030424
>comedians
Looks like the joke here is your loadout.

>>13030478
My combination when I cleared E5 on hard was Haruna (married), Musashi, Yamayo, Tone, Chikuma, Taihou with reppu variations in every slot.

What about 1 46cm for very long range and then a 41cm or lower for kongous? Does that still inccur accuracy penalty?

>>13030476
This was it isn't it
http://kancolle.doorblog.jp/archives/40205493.html
Yes the difference was too small that people didn't even care back then.

>>13030476
98% versus 98% tells you nothing except that whatever you're aiming at has shit for defense. Ideally we'd test it on super fucking hardcore targets but that's hard to test because it'll cost like a million fuel, steel, and buckets.

>>13030480
I keep a lot of girls around for reasons other than stats. The only decent ships I have in my first two pages are Kirishima, Fusou K2, and 1st CarDiv.

Which is why I've been sailing on easy mode. God bless the devs.

>>13030481
Yeah, but they miss.
Even more with combined fleet, you gourd.

>>13030488
Yes, this was what I used for Nagatos.
Kongous are really only good for support on E5.
You really want as much firepower as possible for maximum daytime cutin.
I dont know why people think 150 is actually max and enough.

>>13030496
How did Nagatos with 2 46cms fare? I'm curious.

>>13030490
>No result for 46cmx41cm
I wonder why.

I can't even update my expeditions the game is being so slow.

Do Fusou class have penalty with double 46cms?

>>13030495
>easy mode
You don't need K2s or strong ships to beat everything but E-5 on hard with no support expeditions involved.

>>13030424
>Zuihou and Chiyoda instead of Hiyou and Jun'you
No 46cms on Yamato, Musashi or Nagato
Ayy lmao

>>13030498
You need to average about 160 for E5. There is no margin for error in hard mode. I would not send a kongou there if I can help it. I tried, and I honestly think that 1 or 2 hp difference with Nagamon may be all that it takes for me to do some damage vs. scratch damage there.

>>13030487
And my escort was Ooyodo with flare and searchlight, and nightplane.
Then Ooi, Hatsushimo, Yukikaze, Kitakami and Bismarck Drei.

>>13030424
I guess this is what separate TTK that need to spend 300k on E5 compare to people that spend 50k on E5.

>>13030502
It was pretty old and I don't think he even updated it.
That's why we don't see those new guns in the test list like the German ones and Proto 41cm.

>people start noticing that Kongous equipping two 46cms were slightly less accurate than equipping two 41cms
>people fail to notice that Nagatos equipping two 46cms were even less accurate
why.jpg

They may have royally fucked up E3

Takes just 4 kills oh hard? 7 On medium, 5 on easy. Some dude messed up the sequence

Seriously, you only do E5 hard if you got enough 46cm and type 32s for every ship. This is not a level to fuck around. RNG trolls you very hard, so there's no room for you to fuck around and send ships that aren't all about stats.

>>13030506
The real problem is that I play the game like a fucking jackass. I tried to shove RJ and Zuihou through E-2 so many times (on normal, even) and eventually I just gave up and steamrolled it with a proper fleet.

>>13030520
This.
I even drop my waifu Taihou and bring Kaga because Kaga can shell at boss node.

>>13030516
This is why you don't equip nagamon with dual 46cm. For this map, Nagamon can take the 51cm and then couple with a maxxed 41cm or a prototype 41cm.

Has anyone some tips to S rank E4 boss with the CA/V fleet?

>>13030524
If 2x 46cms will cause them to overload, chances are so will 51cm + 41cm.

If you want to put 51cm on them might as well put 35.6cm instead.

>>13030518
You fight the CLoni in her powered up right at the start if you do Hard.
You fight her normal form first and power up form in normal, so that's why you need more kills.
Easy is easy.

>>13030520
In before that one guy pushes Maruyu through E-5 hard like he did with E-6.

>>13030530
51cm is acceptable if you set this up with artillery spotting in mind. I don't trust double firing in E5. This is how I feel after having cleared it.

>>13030535
Not that hard since Maruyu works for the sub route.
He just needs his remain 5 Yasen Warriors to pull the lucky kill.

>>13030536
>>13030530
>>13030524
One way to go at it is to have the Kongous or the Nagatos arranged for artillery cut-in and leave hotels to double firing. Some people will go all artillery cut-in obviously.

Hotels can use the haruna gun and any of those prototype guns and still reach damage cap without trouble. That's not the case with Nagato. Going for artillery cut-in gets around the damage output as well as inaccuracy somewhat when you have Mutsu and Nagato (and Kongous obviously)

I admit, I was wrong, sorry for making stupid post and sorry shipgirls, for being a shit-t

>>13030536
>>13030536
>if you set this up with artillery spotting in mind.
Who wouldn't?

>I don't trust double firing in E5. This is how I feel after having cleared it.
How does that have anything to do with my post?

>>13030536
>I don't trust double firing in E5.
I don't trust double firing at all for any of the final event bosses.
It's always been cut ins.

>>13030536
The way I see it
Against thick armor ships, you want .
Against fodder and scrubs, you want double attack.

>>13030568
At the very least, bashing shit Ts is a good way to get a discussion going. Congratulations.

>>13030490
Yeah, that one. 2.98% miss for 2 x 46 cm and 2.70% miss for 2 x 41 cm. That's definitely within the margin of error. Just look at how the prototype 35.6 cm turrets missed more as well, when used with 46 cm turrets.

>>13030596
The equilibrium point seems to be around 136 armour.

5-5 bros
3BB 3SS + Route support
Do I trust Isokaze?
Figure I should try to shoot for top500 since everyone else are busy doing event.

>>13030447
The test was done on 20HP DD, not Elite Tsu, so it's pretty much worthless except for proving that you can't use more than two guns. What is 2% difference in accuracy on 1-1 becomes 50% difference vs flag/LM/boss enemies in combined fleet.

>>13030615
What is this about trusting Isokaze?

>>13030603
> margin of error
I meant RNG-being-RNG. I've been up all night.

>>13030615
Yes, line ahead so that the subs can get rid of the enemy small fries with ease. Use boss support as well, since there's no chipping at 5-5.

>>13030615
You have three subs in your fleet, why are you even asking?

P-please step on me

>>13030621
>>13030625
I take it I go double attack and 2xT32 on my BB due to no radar right?

>>13030626
Get in line.

>>13030634
>>13030634
I mean due to no artillery spotting

朝霜 is a lie.

>>13030641
She never shows up in screenshots.

>>13030568
Babby mode is waiting.

>>13030648
She never shows up period.

Has anyone here completed E-3 without using CAVs?

Every working setup for that map seems to mention 1 or 2 of them but I never managed to get a Mogami class and my Tone and Chikuma are far from being level 70.

>>13030659
If you've been playing for more than a few months you'll quickly realize that Tone and Chikuma are the LOS overlords and heaven help you in events if you don't sport a pair of them well-trained.

>>13030659
Did you try 2CA instead?

>>13030656
>>13030648
>>13030641
Joke on you.

>>13030674
Nice shoop, that girl doesn't exist.

>>13030650
Waiting for what? I'm way past the point of giving up and taking the easy route you know

>>13030677
She will show up when you completed E5 hard mode.

>>13030679
This is a lie.
I got Kinugasa.

>>13030679
Your words and your image contradict each other.

>>13030684
Same sortie
Drops off the BB node

>>13030686
Yes, but she dropped before you completed it.

>>13030659
I'm doing fine without CAV on normal. Don't know about other difficulties though.

>>13030687
Battles are already predetermined once you send them out.

>>13030634
I did 46, 41 triple, AP and large torp bulges on Hotels with 46, 46, AP and FuMo on Bisko.

>>13030690
Each battle is determined once the server receives your selection of formation. Nice try.

>>13030689
What's your composition?

God dammit.

>>13030717
The fuck are you using naka for?
She's to be sacrificed in E4

>>13030704
2BB/2CVL/2CA on main fleet, 1CL/1CA/4DD on escort. I've killed the boss 5 times already, sent back only once. This formation sometimes sends you to A->B->C forcing you to take an extra battle, so you end up taking more damage at boss node due to evasion penalty from low fuel.

>>13030723
Because she's the only leveled CL I have that is not a CLT.

>>13030717
Dont listen to that other anon
Good choice. The fleet idol is immensely useful in E4
.

>>13030620
One of her lines are talking about using formation line ahead.

>>13030717
Are there anyone completed E-4 on easy or medium? I did

>>13030737
Even Youtube is filled with videos of E4 medium.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hfk2egxfX-A

Oh wow.
What a huge difference after replacing Maruyu with a real sub.
4-2 weekly is a cakewalk now

>>13030737
I might do on Medium (same amount of medals) so I can avoid having to repair as much (I have right now only 2 instant repair).

does anyone know a sure boss composition for E3?

i keep seeing CAV in the recommended list but i don't have any

and i'm going in circles like a bloody idiot. also, fuck bb hime ;_;

>>13030746
You are spitting on a Super Yamato, Musashi being your sex slave and immortality.
Anon, that filthy medal is worth SO much.

>>13030750
>i keep seeing CAV in the recommended list but i don't have any
Because that's the best composition and takes an easy route so you're fucked either way..

>>13030751
I don't have either of them.

>>13030750
Where is your boytoy Mogaymin?
Tone and Chikuma should be common drop.
Just take like a week off to train them up to kai2
E3 south node is basically babby mode

>>13030750
Try using CA instead of CAV although they don't seem to always guarantee easy route (only half of the time in my case).

>>13030762
semi-new ttk here, so i'm still trying to complete a nice solid fleet

mogami is still lv3
tone and chikuma are 18

>>13030763
i tried CA and it seems to make me go in circles. i'll try using one anon's composition here to double check.

Oh you are lucky.
mogami +1ca will sent you randomly to south.
Just F5 when you get sent elsewhere.

I can't kill this bitch and I'm on fucking easy modo.

>>13030750
I used 1 BB 1 FBB 3 CV 1 CA (1st fleet) and 1 CL 1 CLT 3 DD 1 FBB (2nd fleet) will go A->B->F->H->K or C->E->F->H->K. There is a fuel maelstrom at node E.
I subbed a CV for a CVL though but it followed the same routes.

>>13030765
E-1 drops Suzuya and Kumano if you want CAVs.

>>13030765
I think it might be worth mention that both CA i used are the one that can be remodeled to CAV later.
I used Fast respond 1FBB,2CA,3CV and 1CA,1CL,4DD. It will go either ABFHK or CEHK.

>>13030771
Why do people seriously play easy/medium?

>>13030771
Fix your composition, read the wiki and learn2yasen. CVs on the bottom, Yuki on slot 4.

>>13030784
i think level 40 is required to unlock medium

>tfw new and first event
>can only unlock easy
>get rekt anyway

>>13030784
Some can only do easy/medium because of TTK level.

Is there a compilation video with the new lines?

>>13030771
>Akagi in slot 5

no wonder

>>13030784
For a lvl40 to clear up to E4 is pretty impressive.
Can probably finish E5 on easy too.

>>13030784
If you're below lv80 and have no Kai Ni obviously you won't be doing hard.

>>13030806
I obviously don't blame people who are like that, but people who can take the hard road but take the easy. If not for an event, this game is never 'hard', if not with a little medal or the 'hard' way, why were you investing time in the first place?

>>13030784
I've been playing three weeks, don't have hard mode unlocked and am low on resources.

>>13030813
That #2 guy, shamefur dispray

>>13030830
>white
Gaijin detected.

>>13030827
You're a lot better equipped than when I played for 3 weeks.

>>13030831
Wouldn't be surprised if he is some /jp/ or hotglue howaitopiggu

>>13030827
How far are you into the event? Did you medium clear everything?

>>13030798
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm25511721

>>13030840
I medium cleared E-1 and E-2 for the equipment. Easy cleared E-3 and am stuck on the final boss of E-4.

>>13030842
Save resources and use support.

>>13030842
E-4 medium? Or easy since the reward difference is pathetic?

>>13030841
Thank you.

>>13030847
Easy, I saw no reason to try for medium with the rewards.

>>13030813
Because some people just want Amagi without wasting a lot more resources and time, I cleared summer's E6 and went with E5 easy because they didn't even add anything worth doing hard for like another 51cm turret.

>>13030311
did you get air parity with this setup?

>>13030853
Of course.
Taihou provide 173FP

>>13030851
You can take E-4 easy just fine. Just finished it and I'm HQ lvl 50 and have no units above lvl60. .

>>13030857
Comp and equips? I'm currently stuck on the final kill. Pic related.

>>13030861
Are you using boss support? It helps tremendously on E4. Final kill here, only flag sparkled.

>>13030862
I am. Actually, in my pic Kusou missed and Beaver didn't CI. So I guess my problem is just luck?

Does anyone know at what lvl you reach the 300k resource cap? Because I'm lvl 81 and I'm barely at 21k.

>>13030864
Yeah. She'll fall sooner or later. You probably have no problem with disposing of her escort during day, that means you're just waiting for the beaver to do her job. If you want to go for placebo, you might try sparkling whole support in PvP, this happened once when 4 or 5 were kira kira.

>>13030861
Nagato Kai 2 guns, recon, radar for LOS
KTKM K2 torp cut-in set
2 DD kais 2 torp+10cm
2CV kais for air control, 2 fighter/2damage
Had support fire for boss.
I

fucking F node on E2, I swear

>>13030867
There are two caps - soft cap related to your level (max at 30.750) and hard cap at 300k. After reaching soft cap, resource stops regenerating naturally so you have to rely on expeditions etc.

>>13030867
Level 1.

>>13030869
Are you using Aerial support or shelling?

>>13030880
Shelling is the only way to go. Refer to https://hawawa.me/world-5-5-northern-salmon-sea-area/#Support_Fleets

Is it better to place night recon plane on more slots? Like should I put it on a bb with 3 plane slots or can I just leave it on naka-chang with 1 plane slot?

>>13030890
Can't they still get shot down like normal recons so it's better to put it on more slots?

>>13030806
Again, you can easily do everything up to E-4 with no K2/hotels and support expeditions whatsoever.

>>13030898
Everything up to and including E-4 on hard, obviously.

>>13030898
Not easily. But yes, they are doable. Actually, using Hotels on E2-E4 feels wrong.

still trying to find a composition for E3:

>1bb 1fbb 2ca 1cv 1cvl
>1fbb 1ca 1cl 4dd

well, this seems to do the job, if not for that one extra battle before bb hime

is it better to use surface task or fast response? it seems that fast response is easier to build...

>>13030907
The only part where you might get some problems is E-4 final, and boss support fixes it. Everything else is a smooth ride.

It's a shitty janny, but it's our janny.

Is E4 counted as airfield? can I use the rockets or type 3 shell for bonus damage? Or should I just setup cut-in for every ship including my BB? TIA

>>13030909
/jp/ hates kidou butai (quick response), but a lot of people have completed E3 using it. Besides, you probably won't be able to build surface fleet anyway. As far as I remember, you can't use a combination of CV and CVL. Either pick one CV or two CVLs.

Also,
>1fbb 1ca 1cl 4dd
You have one extra ship here.

>>13030950
Nope, they're useless this event. Actually, devs heavily hinted this by implementing Akashi improvement for AP Shells and not Sanshiki.

>>13030071
I also arrived with no scratches to boss and all the enemy ships were in fine condition after day battle.

>>13030950
She's a CV, just go with cut-in for lucky ships and double attack for the rest as usual.

>>13030950
The boss is a CV, and CV is CV.
Just you cut in for your beloved lucky DDs.
I find gun cut in for BB at night is pretty shitty.

This is the part where I start laughing manically

>>13030966
Have mercy.

>>13030909
Kidou butai is technically worse because your weaker escort fleet takes the full brunt of their fleet's attacks before your main fleet can soften then up but honestly if RNG wanted to fuck you up you're dead anyway so just pick anything.

Fleet composition to clear the map is way more important than surface/kidou choice. Choose surface at every opportunity to do so though.

>>13030955
sorry, it was 3dd. fucked up while typing into notepad

i'm kinda worried about 2CVLs. aren't they softer than CVs?

and is Junyou/Hiyou a good pair for this? they seem to carry the most planes without kai

>>13030968
>Choose surface at every opportunity to do so though.

thanks. i thought it was a good idea to have the escort fleet have it first since the enemy was going full stormtroopers.

>>13030966
inb4 all miss or scratch damage

>>13030955
/jp/ is all about cutin and night battle

Get on with time.
The BB and CV are escort for the torpedo sluts, miracle DDs to do their work.
We are in the age of hyper torpedo

>>13030970
I just love that you are incapable of using capitalization and punctuation. I just love that you use surprise boxes. I don't want you to fuck off.

>>13030971
Poi simply does not give a fuck.

>>13030970
>i'm kinda worried about 2CVLs. aren't they softer than CVs?
They are. But CVs are also pretty soft, and if enemy BBs decide to fuck your carriers up, they will.

>>13030975
Congratulations, anon.

>>13030975
>>13030976
Here's my E2 outtake reel for you sadistic bastards

I almost collapsed in horror as the shutters closed down on the screen

>>13030975
>E3
Step it up senpai

>>13030980
Hah.
I had the same situation, only I had one DD left.
She decided to cut-in, aimed for the boss... and fucking missed. One HP left. Cut-in. Missed.

I scrapped her afterwards.

>>13030909
Kidou butai was only useful during Midway due to the amount of air battles encountered. The events that followed pretty much put Surface TF to good use. It's your escort fleet who should finish the job after all so you need them intact as Surface TF prevents second shelling in escort fleet.

>>13030975
Congratulations.

Now on to the next map.

>>13030980
You wont beat this

>>13030987
Kidou was ONLY used because there were dumb hurrdurr air-engagement only nodes in MI. No engagement and shelling actually occurred on those nodes and everyone just stacked 4CVs and called it a day

Kidou butai in actual engage nodes is stupid because enemy DD/CAs get to live and get a free torpedo volley on your CL/DDs, and 2 waves of attacks on your CL/DD 2nd fleet is dumb as shit, along with not being able to soften up the enemies with your BBs first

No one actually used Kidou in Autumn final map, and that pretty much tells you how bad it is as a non-gimmick composition.

Being forced into Kidou from Suijou is often an enforced handicap due to AA requirements

77 E5 runs (after clearing it) finally brought me Asashimo, all my frustration and anger just went away in a second.

Is there a cheap way to get E5 final kill? I'm running out of ammo fast.

>>13031004
What is E5 final form after clearing it?
Is it easy or 2BB Hime still?

>>13031009
Easy modo.

>>13031011
I think it's final form, but I never went there since she only drops in the flagship BB rape node and the CV oni nodes.

>>13031000
>Kidou was ONLY used because there were dumb hurrdurr air-engagement only nodes in MI
Or maybe because suijou didn't exist back then?

>>13031020
Good one there. Completely forgot about it since the last map was an ordinary map

>>13031012
But if I changed the difficulty, I'll have to chip the gauge again. That will cost even more ammo.

>>13031000
>No one actually used Kidou in Autumn final map, and that pretty much tells you how bad it is as a non-gimmick composition.
I did, but that map was piss easy.

>>13031022
What are your resources and how much did you have when you started E5?

>>13031009
You still have weeks left.
Take it easy.

>>13031004
I know how you feel, anon.

>>13031026
You really wanted to get femdomed by kubo oneesan that badly huh

Her accuracy on that map was utter trash, but wow are you some hardcore M

>>13031000
I used it in fall, and used at E-3 again. My escorts always survive shelling just fine with assorted scratches, and torpedo phase destroying meatshilds leaving big guns to work on boss is priceless.

>>13031035
I used it too and it was really easy. Just like the whole Fall event.

Chipped E5 hard boss hp down to final form. Around 10k resources left.

I wonder if I will be able to make it,

>>13031000
I didnt bother
I was busying farming E3 for Asagumo.
I dont even remember whats E4.

>>13031038
I started with 3k in sunday and chipped the gauge already. Resources are not the real problem.

>>13031043
Its all about KTKM sama being lucky and cut in at the boss?

>>13031027
From 60k ammo to 15k ammo.

>>13031045
Too bad that never fucking happens

No marriage ships
No hotels
Brownslut flagship with crap night battler like Ooyodo and Akiduki
Kitakami disabled before night
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm25537483

Whats the recommended route for E-5? Light Cruiser Demon is more preferable to pass up over a maelstrom right?

>>13031081
>Akiduki
Who?

>>13031083
Akiduki

>>13031045
>>13031079
DA can't kill her.
You'd need min 3 ships focus DA firing on her and doing BIG damage.
Cut in should require 2 ships and something.

Too much RNG anyways.

Is it weird if I care more about the medal than Amagi?

>>13031086
You don't seem to understand the question.

>>13031091
Akiduki.

>>13031079
Stalker pls

>>13031091
Akiducky

>>13031092
Suck my dick, Nakima.

>>13031090
Not at all. Amagi is only better than Cranes.

>>13031088
You need night recon, flash light and flare activated. My Ooi 1shotted her with 247damage+x

>>13031090
It's the intelligent thing to care about. Amagi is a garbage cv stat wise, and she becomes a shitty slut after remodel, so shes utterly useless. That medal however could be useful in the future.

>>13031091
Aki-lucky

Best fleet for farming E-2? Using 2BB2CVL2CV, but without support fleets, I can't seem to get to the boss safely, or kill it even if I do.

>>13031096
What's a nakima?

>>13031103
Nakima

>>13031090
Medal is the whole point of doing the event.
It is what separate truTEITOKU and kuso teitoku.

>>13031088
DA can, just need to hope that Ooi + Kitakami both target her, which never happens

How much am I cutting my chances if I want to use Kiso (lv 78) instead of Ooi (lv50)?

>>13031108
Smart TTK coming through.

>>13031090
No. That's the correct thing to do.

>>13031119
Not much.

Hmm, here are my resources and repair buckets right now, and all I have to clear is E-4 and E-5. Wonder if I have enough to do it on hard.

Then again, my average fleet level is at 45 right now...

>>13031121
Look at Amagi disappointed face

>>13031108
Some people just want to take it easy.

>>13031119
You trade some torpedo power for having to waste less ammo.

>>13031135
E5 on hard is unreachable for you unless you have good equipment.
E4 might be fine.

>>13031147
I'm mostly wondering if the loss in torpedo is enough to screw me over for E5.

I wiped out anything but the boss at E4.
Then both Shigure and Yukikaze didn't cut-in.

Should I use yasen equipment at E4?

>>13031135
E4 for sure, E5 is at least worth trying.

>>13031136
She sunk not long afterwards.
http://imgur.com/a/M7Iqy

Maybe this'll teach the devs to do less RNG heavy events.

>>13031152
Always use yasen equipment you dolt.

>>13031156
Upboated.

somebody please kill me

>>13031166
Can't on CV Hime in next run for that.

>>13031150
Just sparkle Ooi, every single bit of firepower counts.

>>13031166
Was E4 really that hard?

>>13031170
Okay, will do that.

>>13031172
No, he's just no going south and he doesn't have AS.

>>13031172
I got it all cleared in 5 runs, but I was running hotels and used support for last kill.

>>13031174
What exactly is wrong with the northern route?

Akitsumaru just killed 2 destroyers on 4 BB node. Reppu-ken stronk

>>13031178
Don't know, never tried it. South is just maximum easy mode.

>>13031178
It isn't laughably easy.

So she has been wearing that costume underneath her kimono and then just goes full stripping show when you kai 2.
That would make Shouhou looks like a pure maiden.

>>13031180
Reppuu

someone please save me from this RNG hell

im on the last boss fight on stage 2 but battleships wont let me pass and tai my ships

>>13031178
If you did south you will know how easy it is.
It is basically autowin unless you are super unlucky.

>>13031186
Is it the Wos or the Ta?

>>13031194
2 Ru in double line.

Why does the event give such disgusting exp? For the kind of enemies you have to fight it should be at least base 300-400 or something but nope ~100 exp base because fuck you.

>>13031191
Nice capitalization and punctuation.

>>13031191
>im on the last boss fight on stage 2 but battleships wont let me pass and tai my ships
2-4 wall is still a thing? What is your fleet composition?

>>13031197
You get event rewards. It's not a regular sortie.
Stop whining and get your ships.

>>13031189

>>13031195
Isn't that E2?

>>13031149
>>13031154

What's the setup I should be running for E-4 and E-5?

>>13031200
i meant actually the event and my setup is CVL/2CV/2FBB/DD and ive killed the boss 6 times so far but now RNG fucks me over bad time

>>13031152
I have never seen a E-5 video of people clearing it without the night plane active.
It is the the real MVP of this event.

>>13031194
I'm not sure if I understand the question. South has 2 harmless Wos (you get AS and AA cut-in) in first node, transport in second and pitiful yasen in third.

>>13030771
You can kill them with torpedo squad only,step it up,boy.

>>13031191
Just kill them before they can attack

>>13031210
>of this event
And of E6 summer, those double BB himes didn't go down that easily.

>>13031211
Looks like I have misunderstood, I guess everybody took the southern route just because it's a guarantee to the boss. The north route can be just as easy as well but you have to use diamond as the Wos and Nus are extremely irritating.

>>13031208
Use less carriers, 2 at most. Bosses are best killed at night, and carriers don't do shit at night.

>>13031233
Thank you for taking the shitposter seriously and making him feel welcome.

>>13031227
>diamond
>extremely irritating
It means it is harder than normal
E5>E2>E3>E4>E1
E4 is pretty much the easiest map after E1.

>>13031243
>E4<E3
As you'd still require support going south, E3 is far more doable and quick.
Just boring with Combined fleet misses.

>>13031243
Am I reading you right? Choosing a different formation means harder than normal? That said, different people have different luck I guess, for me the ranking goes: E5 > E3 > E4 > E2 > E1.

Can any anon with good eyesight tell me how many more this will take?

>>13031260
2+ kills, I think.

>>13031260
Two

>>13031252
I did E4 south without support.

>>13031260
You should have written down the remaining hp every time.

>>13031260
Zwei

>>13031252
What's wrong with support? You have very high chance of no retreat so the support is reliable and very efficient resource-wise.

>>13031260
2

>>13031260
2 full kills.
5 actual chipping. Or more if you are unlucky

>>13031252
E3 used more buckets and resources

>>13031210
Where to put the night plane?
It didn't trigger at all in my case, even though I put it in 'yodo 3rd slot.

>>13031274
Nah, one decent chip and he's in final kill territory.

>>13031267
You take this game way too seriously.

>>13031210
What kind of bizare ritual must I perform to make it active whenever I want?

Dame,E-4 sure is a candy land, got 5 rare dds there, and now aimming for Unryuu.

>>13031285
You gotta get another one

>>13031285
Use 2.

>>13031284
If you're chipping, it's good idea to write it down. At least there's something to countdown to.

>>13031285
Grind another sendai or was it jintsuu and use 2.

>>13031284
I don't.

>>13031299
Sendai.

>E-5
But what about E4?

>>13031311
If you already having so much problem with chipping, final kill will be bad for you.
I S ranked it like 3-4times before I got to her final form. Pre final form is a joke to clean kill.

Not really too bad for a first run with pretty much optimized 80+s and great equipment

Kaga takes 4 loads to the face like a champ. Truly a great second waifu

>>13031311
Why are people stressed out over not yet beating E-5? You have over a week, nothing to worry about.

>>13031317
I know right, you'd have to be crazy to not bucket yellow or more damage when doing E5.

>>13031330
Nice fleet name and timezone, disgusting turk.

>>13031330
See >>13031334

>>13031336
Seeing people flaunting their last kill in these threads can make you feel like a loser if you are still stuck at chipping.

I share that sentiment, my luck has suddenly gone to the gutter as I'm now doing scratch damage to the boss.

You are going to be here forever.
