How are your resources holding up TTKs?

>>13033509
Not too well.
I'm low on ammo and not autistic enough to spam exp 2.

>>13033464
>General

>>13033717
They keep fucking doing that

Is this thread safe?

>Nachi gets crit to red at E-3-C
God damnit, you always disappoint. Why can't you be more like your sister?

>>13033509

literally scraping by hovering between 1k to 10k fuel/ammo and 20-40 buckets, then blowing it all doing e-5 runs.

she's at around 25% hp which took around 20k fuel/ammo (though I wasn't running boss support for the first 1/2 of her hp, bad idea).

It's not so bad right now but I just hope the final form doesn't rekt me.


On that note, is it a good idea to swap out a few reppu for bombers against the final form or will that cause abyssal kaga node to manhandle me.

>>13033509
Never be this low since i started playing the game because i fail e-5 hard last kill every time. Is there anything wrong with my fleet ?

My 1st fleet has 4 BBs + 2 CVL :
Chitose Sisters with 3 Reppu + 2 Zero bomber
Hotel sisters and Nagato sister with best Guns, AP shell and seaplane

my 2nd fleet has
Verniy with AACI set up
Jintsu with double set up
Bisko with 2 gun 1 AP 1 seaplane
Ooi and KTKM with cut in set up
Shigure with Cut in set up and searchlight

>>13034288
You will get manhandled either way.

so next event or standard world we'll finally get Re flagship and then Black Reck shooter right?

capcha abysal <--- hmmm

Mogami Kai Ni when?

>>13035571

Alright, so which one of you fags is this?

>>13035571
So basically he say that Ray is gaijin?

>>13033509
Low on Metal and Fuel
Have an abundance of Bauxite and Ammo

How long does furniture stay in the shop? I don't wanna be grinding coins while there's an event going on

>>13035760
>not using default furnitures
pleb

>>13035784
>wanting a disgusting pile of boxes in your room

How does one go to node G in E-3? Did anyone try it without combined fleet?

>>13035784
I just want the jukebox

>>13035842
It's called jewbox for a reason.

Best comp for E-3?
2 FBB + 1 CAV + 3 CV (1st fleet) and 1 CL + 1 CA + 4 DD (2nd fleet) doesn't work.

Does radar affect the accuracy of the support expedition fleet ?

>>13036026
Mine are:
2 FBB + 2 CAV + 2 CVL (1st fleet) and 1 CL + 1 CA + 4 DD (2nd fleet)

>>13036052
>Mine are:
>2 FBB + 2 CAV + 2 CVL (1st fleet) and 1 CL + 1 CA + 4 DD (2nd fleet)
But that's just more ships to get hit to red.

>>13033717
>not a general

>>13036052
>Does radar affect the accuracy of the support expedition fleet ?
Not sure but I slapped a T32, T33 or T22 on each ships. Every placebo counts.

>tfw you failed e-5 again with boss left with tiny bit hp.

Hey Teitoku-chan, cheese soup

>>13036360
This is a kancolle thread, pls stop posting Sanae.

>>13033717
Should be Admiral.

>>13036387
should be 提督

Is support fleet a must for E-3?
If yes, which one?

>>13036432
I did the boss node one when I had to break the HP bar and everyone fuggin missed

>>13036432
Boss is good if you knock some fodder units out so your big guns stop wasting time.

>>13036452
>>13036462
I couldn't even reach the boss node from 10 tries. BB hime always crits one of my bitches. That fucking crit magnet Yuudachi kai2 dared to get critted by a random torpedo on the first node too.

>>13036483
Just go CEHK for maximum easy mode.

>>13036514
But it's random

>>13036523
Not when you have 2CAV and 4DD.

>>13036523
Hahahahaha
This nigga serious?
2BB 2CAV 2CVL
1CL 1CA 4DD

This is 100% CEHK
Sauce: me

>>13036535
>>13036531
You better not lie, ttk.

All these moonrunes look the same to me.
Isn't there a better organized list to look up quests than the wiki?

I'm starting to think Akashi at E1 is a lie.

>>13036610
I got one there yesterday!

>>13036613
Is she your 2nd Akashi or 1st?

>>13036614
She was my first one. I don't think it drops there if you already got one before

>>13036614
>>13036628
They really don't want people to have more than one Akashi anymore, do they

Fuck this, I'm going back to 6-2 to try my luck after the event.

>>13036635
I can't get Akashi to drop from E-1.

Are 2 46cms fine on the Kongos?
I heard they make them overweight.

>>13036719
Kongou

>>13036721
Congō

I'm sure this is on the wiki but I cannot find the page.. When people fight you PVP does the outcome of their battles reflect on the PVP count win/loss in your profile or is that merely keeping track of the fights you have engaged in directly?

Just started 2 weeks ago, now stuck on E-2, and every fucking time, Every fucking time I get Crit by a RU class, it's either 2 dmg on my destroyer, or 50 crit on my BB or Crit on my CA.

I can't fucking take this. I'm on the final kill and even when I got there I got T crossed by Wo-chan.

My bucket supply is down to single digits and bucket farming with expeditions hasn't gotten me anything in the last 7 of them.

My heart it Hurts.

>>13036610 here.
Apparently someone on the wikia got a third Akashi from E1, after having already gotten two earlier. And another got two of her from E1.

Damn it.

>>13036779
I'm in the same position, started a month ago and can't clear the boss on E2 medium. Even if I get past the Ru's then I just fail to kill the boss. I'm just waiting for expedition and natural regen to keep trying over and over again.

>>13036779
I started a little under 2 weeks ago too, and I can get past the ru class with relative ease bar the occasional one hit.

You can try crafting Saiun to prevent crossing the T.

I'm using BB/BBV/CLT/CV/CVL/DD since it gives me less room to get rng'd if the carriers/BBV/CLT can take out enemy DD/CA/CL so your battleships are actually hitting what's important. In the end it is still left to rng. I would say take it easy since you don't have to rush it. You do have 2 weeks

Finally out of E-4. Yamato, of all ships, dealing the final blow and kill stealing from Shigure.

>>13036840
when she goes on strike in e5 you'll be begging her to hit things

>>13036888
I know it's my fault being a poorfag and not grinding her to 99 yet but she still does deliver from time to time. Gonna wait a few days to hit soft cap for resources before attempting E-5.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm25546822

No CLTs, no hotels, all luck.

>>13037002
>all luck
That's all we need isn't it?

>>13037007
I know that, but this guy takes it to a whole new level.
>every single ship aims the oni in night battle

My character CGs/sprites aren't showing.

Anyone know what the problem is?

>>13037022
It happens sometimes, nothing major.

>>13037002
Fucking salute

>>13037022
I see, thanks.

>>13037002
Why am I still playing this game.

>>13037064
You pussied out. He was rewarded for trusting his harunas and jintsuu.

>>13037002
WHAT THE FUCK.

Always count on Kitakami.

Anyone who finished E-5 hard going back to farm for Isokaze? Because I really don't want to do it, and good luck getting S on that shit.

>>13037151
Nah, I'm taking it easy. Waiting for LSC.

>>13037155
>he thinks Isokaze can be obtained from LSC
I have bad news for you m8.

>>13037162
>can be obtained
will eventually be obtainable*

Congrats, janny.

Kitakami and Ooi refuse to shoot CAs in opening torpedo. Kitakami and Ooi can't dodge a single attack. Kitakami and Ooi hog MVP from my Ayanami and Yukikaze who have been working hard and doing 200+ damage to BB hime. Kitakami and Ooi haven't cut-in once since 10 boss runs despite star shells, searchlights, and night recon.

Fuck these two trolls.

>>13037155
Fuck LSC, I've been doing that several times a week for a long time now and still no Bismarck or Taihou. I've already gotten four Yamatos for fuck's sake.

>>13037151
One try every day, and maybe a few last-minute ones on the last day. Not worth too much effort since Kiyo is better.

Fucking Finally. I love you KTKM-sama.

>>13037178
You know you cannot get Bismarck without the Nazi boys as flag right?

>>13037228
Already doing that. Still no Bismarck.

Where is best for farming Kaga?

My faggot fucking ships always choke on the boss node.

How do I punish them?

>>13033509
Soon to hit 29k. Still on E-2

>>13037274
Got her at E1, if it helps.

>>13037289
I started not too long ago and don't have much for levelled CL and DD, is E1 pretty decent without being kitted out?

Okay I officially give up and am switching to easy mode. E5 is too huge of a RNG fuck fest and I didn't gather enough resources to sustain four fucking fleets draining me of nearly 2k fuel every attempt. Fuck the devs for not telling us to stockpile more.

>>13037277
Punish them with mamiyas and affection

>>13037299
I thought people here knew better than listening to Wo.

>>13037298
Craft ASW gear which has cheap recipes and line abreast. E-1 EZ shouldn't be too complex even for new TTK.

>>13037306
Don't blame Wo for this you kuso.

>48 people have posted here before the old thread dies
>This thread is still up

wow

Guise, recently I've been sinking more ships then usual. What do?

Does anyone else favour 1 BB 1 CLT/CAV 1 DD 1 CV 2 CVL for E2? AFGI route.

>>13037336
The other thread is full of samefagging if you haven't noticed.

>>13037299
Pussy, I'm in even worse situation, I started E-5 with 3k fuel and other resources in similar shape yet I've already well over 10 final kill runs. Resources are not the worst problem you face even if you have none.

>>13037299
Welcome to the smart TTK club.

Got this bitch from the E1 boss node on easy after so many failed attempts, is she good for anything? Stats seem rather lackluster.

>>13037446
No, scrap her.

>>13037450
I only scrap duplicates, she's my first sub, might as well keep it once i figure out how to use them.

>>13037299

As a new TTK, where should I focus my grind after the tutorial?

I've been doing some random sorties, quests and exercises, but I'd like to know what to set as my next goals...

>>13037446
Highest torpedo stat of all subs and she's the lewdest one by far. I keep her around for the sake of my dick.

E-2 G node drops Amatsukaze, right?
I've been trying for hours (medium difficulty)

>>13036562
Not sure what you're complaining about.
Use KCV or some other third party translator.
If you are using KCV, stop whining.

>>13037531
I got one. And so far the she's the only thing I got.

>>13037277
>How do I punish them?
this is why you fail. you need to love them and show them affection.

What's the usual order to assign planes to carriers? I can't remember if i should use more fighters or bombers.

Been grinding E-1 all day for Akashi. People who say she drops like candy are fucking liars.

>>13037608
She probably only drops for people without one like how devs set up 2-5.
If you don't already have her, good luck O7

>>13037607
There's no rule, it depends on the map.

>>13036562
KCTV does direct translation from within the game client. It hasn't been updated for a while however so some quests aren't translated and few ships as well.

KC3 does direct translation as well (quests only however). It's a chrome extension.

>>13037607
4x Saiun, your CV will never miss.

>>13037339
Kill yourself.

>>13037002
> これが欲しかった
RNG please. Make it happen here as well.

So what is the best fleet comp for E3? What did you guys use to clear it?

>>13037612
>>13036783

>>13037608
I got Akashi from E1 easy. I had none before however.

I did grind E1 a lot however (at least 100 times).

>>13036562
Took me a click to notice the goods.

>>13037002
Two cutins for 1 damage, wow

>>13037806
This kind of shit always happens to me whenever I use AP ammo, so I prefer pure double attack with type 32 radar instead.

How should I equip my CV and CVL for E-2. I don't have any saiun's but I have all the other important planes

>>13037608
Got her on my first E-1 run on Hard.

>>13037951
http://kankoreshuukai.blog.jp/archives/E-2kouryaku201502.html

>>13037002
that fucking insane luck

I've beaten E3 12 times now, where the fuck is my Akitsumaru?

>>13038017
Waiting for you in LSC

>>13037002
Wait, when you combine fleets you can have the first slot fleet attack before the second? Oh man I'm dumb

Is going to the boss node in 2-1 totally random? There is no info on wiki. I tried a lot of combinations (quest b29 combinations as well) but never reached D. I must have done it at least 20 times by now ;_;

What is a hotel?

>>13038116
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel

>>13038116
Yamato and Musashi

>>13038115
I should think so.

stupid fucking kaga trash, disappointing me every time and getting hit to red every time when I try to reach the boss with her, worthless piece of trash

>>13037002
He has a lvl150 Haruna and then some more. He deserved it.

>>13038133
What a kuso-T.

>>13038149
Ships that refuse to rescue their comrades in arms are the worst.. Nothing is lower than refusing to offer a hand to someone you fight with, when they're in trouble.

Is the minimum recipe the best recipe for leveling your Kitakami's luck?

>>13038153
She's more than willing, but carriers can't take hits. I bet you don't even love her.

>>13038173
I like ships that perform well and I don't like ships that refuse to do their job. Unfortunately there aren't enough good ships and Kaga definetely belongs into the group of underperformers. I also didn't get her until t-level 80, in world 5. She could sink if it didn't mean losing the planes on her for all I care, assuming someone else would get her planeslots

>>13037467
man, Fujikawa's style is better suited to depicting foreign ships. It's something about the eyes and forehead and hairline level.

Is there a reason to farm for Yuugumo class? I see everybody whine about getting them in everywhere ( wiki, 4chan,..) but are they good or for collection purpose?

Is there anyone else who can't update their status in the stats screen? Mine's been bugged forever.

I've been cruisin through easy and still getting good drops

>Sparkle all my ships for last run of E-3
>Get past pre-boss node with not much problem
>Boss is left with 19 hp after all others are destroyed

Ack, why RNG!?

>>13038240
They are cute, and have Type 3 sonars.

>Farming E-2 for Oh! Yodo
>Have to use 1-2 buckets every run
>No fuel left
>TFW

>>13038240
They are mainly for collection purposes yes, the best destroyers are still along the lines of the ones that have Kai 2 and Yukikaze and Shimakaze.

But of course, if a teitoku is any good, they will love a kanmusu for more than just their stats no matter what

>>13038252
Are you me?

>>13038260
This is after finishing E3, doing 2-3 runs per day and doing exp 2 and 4 eight to ten hours a day.

And tomorrow I'm starting E4, might do medium just to avoid repairing as much.

>>13038253
>>13038267
To the scrap room they go then, i have enough radar and sonar to arm 2 ASW fleet

Akashi drops on E-1 easy right? I still need one.

>>13038260
I got Akashi from clearing E-1 Medium. I wonder if Oh! Yodo will be from clearing E-2, or if she'll need a couple of runs' worth.

What are your current resources and progress?

Fuck this event, I just want Prinz Eugen again ;_;

I'm laughing so hard at all the people that make fun of hoarders.
Guess your natural regen limit didn't work out for you this time, did it?

>>13038324
Absolutely fucking kuso

>>13038315
Got the e-peen badge, working on E-6 now.

>>13038326
There's still more than a week left.

>>13038336
Tell that to the people still stuck in E-3
There is no way they'll have the res to finish E-5, making them ultra kuso

>>13038348
>stuck in E-3
How? It's the easiest map behind E-1.

>>13038351
I was stuck in E3 because I was out of buckets and Fuel. Finally beat it today.

Kitakami cuts in oni with all 3 night equips active... Only to not crit. That was an almost perfect run too, complete with a green T. Fuck RNG and everything that it stands for.

>>13038351
I did E-2 and E-4 in fewer sorties and far less rage than E-3, that is how badly I got trolled
With 300k all, it's just a matter of more banging against the wall though

>>13038348
I'm mainly stuck in E-3 mainly because of overestimating my difficulty level and picking hard. Now I'm on my last run and am really so close to winning it for real

>>13038326
Actually, it's worked better for me than it ever has before. I haven't stockpiled for an event since Ironbottom Sound, but for the first time in who knows how long I'm actually going to be able to pick up the E-5 event reward. God bless easy mode.

>>13038401
You're incredibly disgusting, playing easy mode
I wish I could go back in time and slap myself silly before I ever make that post because it prompted you to respond to it and now I have cancer

is 4BB 2CV + 2DD 1BB 2CTL 1SS viable in E5 hard?

>>13038401
For a veteran that's pretty kuso

>>13038326
But wo is right.
50k is enough for most average full event cleared.
You can easily get this much resources with the remaining time left for the event.

>>13038418
>2DD 1BB 2CTL 1SS
No.

>>13038424
Stop playing on kuso mode

Do you have your Amagi yet anon?

>>13038418
>no CL
Ayyy

>>13038429
If you lurk Futaba, you will know most people cleared it with this amount as well.

>>13038416
Expeditions are hard, man.

>>13038419
I have been the patron saint of all kuso teitokus after sinking my starter on August 19, 2013, the original shit admiral from which all others were forged.

>>13038439
Same confirmation and result bias as LSC charts

Just finished clearing E-2 after leaving it on the backburner for a few days while I grinded up some ships.

The irony of it being that I didn't even USE any of the ships I was grinding up, the composition I tried was the first one I randomly grabbed off the wiki, and I ended up going 4 for 4 on clean boss kills including 1-shotting the final kill.

So I essentially abused the hell out of my daughters and 3-2-A for roughly 3-4 days straight, for nothing.

What exactly is the standard for kuso teitokus

Sinking more than one ships? (In case the first one you sunk was a horrible mistake, and then you dont learn)
Picking the easy way out?

>>13038462
>So I essentially abused the hell out of my daughters
Have fun where you're going pal.

>>13038463
Sinking even one ship, not loving your daughters and not going for the highest rewards.

>>13038469

I only do it out of love.

They always get nice long baths and naps when its over.

>>13038462
Better to get the 51cm gun few days late than clearing it on easy modo.
Keep up the good work.

>>13038463
Sinking any ship ever = Kuso
Not finishing the event on hard if you started the event with level 70 or above = Kuso
Being a jew and never buying slots = Kuso
Going to Himebuta forums = Double Kuso

>>13038435

>>13038435
>>13038494
The real question is do you have the medal or not?

>>13038499
Don't worry about it.

What exactly does the Chocolate drop gives you? Can you trade it in for resources like a medal or what?

>>13038507
You get like 700 of each, iirc.

>>13038511
Might as well keep it as a souvenir then. Thanks.

>>13038514
Your shipfu put all her heart into it and you're not going to taste it?
Kuso

>>13038523
I'd rather take it and offer it to my shipfu later again after marriage, 700 resources of each don't impress me worth a damn.

>>13038499
I spent mine already.

>>13038526
>re-gifting her her own gifts
absolute Kuso

>>13038572
You can't really buy gifts for your ships now can you? Aside from engagement rings but that costs real moneys.

>>13038570
Do you lose the mark if you use it?

I can't believe trying to get Asashimo is harder then fucking E5.

>>13038585
I know your pain. I still had 30k+ ammo/fuel when I cleared E-5, and all I've done since is sortie for Asashimo.

>>13038585
I am trying to get Unryuu. That is also pretty painful.

>>13038590
I started with 300k fuel, now I'm down to 77k.

These drop rates are awful.

I am not bothering worth a damn to get the drop DD this time around. There is not a single good map to farm for her, E-5 nodes don't qualify due to how expensive it is and how shit the drop rates are, so she can wait until next event. I have plenty trophy DD I never use anyway already to begin with.

>>13038645
It could be worse
Devs really fucking with everyone that missed Isokaze last summer. E5 Boss Srank drop only? Good luck.

>>13038668
Only kusos don't have Isokaze
Mine is almost lvl 70 and ready for Kai 2

Nothing like going back to regular maps to make me want to resume the event. Took a break after E-3 to clear 3-5 for the month and knock out the world 3 weekly; 9 attempts at final kill so far, only reached boss once and got red T followed by Shigure double whiffing at Tsu with my last yasen attack.

Never had a damn problem with 3-5 for the first few months after it was added, but the last few clears have been total hell.

>>13038672
>Kai 2 for trophy DDs
Have fun waiting

I've been playing for about 2 weeks, and cleared e-2 after shimakaze being cut in after everything decided to miss at night. Should I go for E-3 on normal?(I can't do hard). Looking at the difference in reward is the wg42 really worth it? What is a Anti-ground Artillery?

>got Akashi
>got Oh Yodo
>no Akitsumaru
>no Unryuu
This is going to be a long week

>>13038741
I've only gotten three Kiyoshimos, a Hayashimo, a bunch of Kagas and a million Aganos.

>>13038439
That guy stockpiled 294,000, not 50,000.

>>13036779
>>13036803
>>13036838

I DID IT YES I FINALLY DID IT, after 5 days, with full sparkle main fleet, support AND boss support, ALL SPARKLE I finally did it.

OMG YESSS now finally get the chance to do E-3 I feel like I'm gonna cry.

>>13038728
>What is a Anti-ground Artillery?
Basically a weak shell that you can equip on Shigure to fuck airfields in the ass with critical multipliers.

>>13038728
Sanshiki for small ships
Ironbottomsound would be a cakewalk with WG42

Send help /jp/, apparently I am retarded when it comes to this power leveling thing.

So, I understand the idea behind 3-2-A, kill most things with planes, then have your flagship get the last kill for MVP.

Why is this so hard to do in reality?

I can kill most of the planes, but then I wind up either taking damage that results in repair, or someone else takes mvp, making me wait of fatigue.

So that's fine, then I just reduce planecount, wait for morale/repair, and try again.

Now I have too little air power, and have to get my sub repaired more often.

I was under the assumption this was a sort of powerleveling means I could run more or less nonstop. What am I doing wrong?

>>13038817
Powerleveling is fatigue training but you'll be bleeding resources at an amazing speed

Better off doing full 5-4 runs if you want to bleed resources that badly

>>13038824
I have the resources to bleed, I am trying to get some CAV's for the event.

I'm 16K/33K/30K/22K right now with 129 buckets, no Shigure, and intend to bring my starter, Murakumo.

If I don't sleep for 10 days, can I possibly clear all of E-5? No attempts done yet. Is there any hope at all?

>>13038817

The idea is to put your grinding target in the flagship slot, have a carrier or two loaded up with planes, and then enough firepower in the rest of your fleet to wipe out the rest of the enemy fleet/damage them enough to prevent their closing torpedo attack.

And then you just sortie it over and over and over and over and over and over again, while your fatigue drains to nothing and your girls steadily take tick damage (see >>13038478 for an example of what they'll look like after not too long). Getting MVP on your grind target however is a plus, but not terribly reliable.

Its honestly not a particularly efficient way to grind resource-wise like >>13038824 said, but its an easy and mindless way to powerlevel that you could do while multitasking something else at your computer.

If you're going to fatigue grind, you need to go all-out with carriers since opening airstrike is all that's unaffected by fatigue. Counting on other ships to finish stuff or trying to get MVP on flagship is going to require rotation. Unless you're grinding a carrier, then you can just give her the best/most planes and have her get most of the MVPs despite fatigue.

Does Taigei need perfect S in E-1 to drop or just S?

>>13038865

My typical setup was

Flagship, Filler, Filler, BB of some kind, 2 CV/Ls.

Both CVLs fully loaded with Torpedoes, then the BB would typically end up pulling most of the remaining weight and get MVP, which allowed me to grind 2 ships at the same time. Let me get 3 of the Kongous to K2 just by letting them be the muscle of the group.

Though I've noticed CLTs have an easy time getting flagship mvp thanks to their opening torpedoes, for the time I was leveling Ooi she'd end up with MVP more often than not.

>>13038817
use a bb for second shelling, if your flag keeps mvp it won't fatigue and a sub for tanking, the rest use CV/CVL with planes or CAV/BBV loaded with zuiuns.

>>13038878
I got her off an S in medium.

Pls no bully, I only started 2 months ago

>>13038889
Oh cool. I thought it was only perfect S. I've seen a lot of people saying they got her off easy as well so I'm just grinding that now that I'm done. Hopefully I can get her then move on to try for Unryuu in E-4.

Any discoveries of a miracle fleet for E-5?
I'm about to jump in, but at about 40k in resources left, I'm not sure what my odds are.

>>13038918
There are no miracle fleets

>>13038918
Bring FCS and support = win

Come back once you are going for the last kill.

So is there any way to feasibly do E-3 without any CAVs?

>>13038668
Yep. Not even gonna bother putting in an attempt to farm her. Cleared the whole thing on Monday and been back in stockpile mode ever since.

>>13038932
I'm planning to start E-5 after some of my resources regen. Which support expeditions should I launch?

Also, dunno if I can finish E-5 with 14.6k fuel, 16.8 steel, 12.8k ammo, 23.9k bauxite, and 487 buckets.

>>13038940
You need both support expeditions
And those res are not even 10 runs of E-5
You're fucked

>>13038463
Last year I mistook F5 for "formation 5" and lost Akagi

>>13038947
Oh my fucking god I remember you

>>13038940
You have passive regen.
That is more than enough.
2DD 2BB 2CV(L) like usual.

The trick is to not have wasted and make every run count.

>>13038954
what kind of shitty E-5 fleet uses 2DD in the first fleet?

>>13038945
>>13038954
Hmm, making every run count may be almost impossible for me. For reference, I spent 30 runs on E-4 Hard, with 24 of them trying to get the last kill.

>>13038956
That's a support fleet.

>>13038947
What does that even mean?

Also you're kuso.

>>13038918
4BB/2CVL(Junyou+Chi, all reppuu + 1 Saiun)
1SS/2DD/CL/2CLT.
Fleet command for chipping.

Use sparkled route support, and radar helps support accuracy so cram as many on while staying above firepower cap(150).

I only bothered with boss support after BBHime blockers showed up, my girls tore the node apart pretty consistently after went with the sub routing composition.

>>13038947
How does it feel like to be a /jp/ legend?

>>13038957
Fleet command and route support will make every run count.
The boss node is easy mode until the final kill.

>>13038935
Do you not even have a Naka-chan? You don't need CAVs if you have her.

I think the RNG gods are trying to tell me something.

>>13038959
4BB 1CV Zun is superior

>>13038968
Ah okay, so fleet command for chipping and route support needed to get people to boss node.

So, I'm guessing a good E-5 comp is either >>13038959 or >>13038971?

>>13038972
Zun has shit evasion and if you put her in flag you give NotKaga a free extra chance to taiha someone, with BB flag you get first shot at her to try and stop her 2nd shelling.

>>13038972
Some of those BBs need to be BBVs to make that viable for AS.

>>13038935
Just do E1 and 2 until you get Suzuya and Mogami, it shouldn't take long

>>13038985
You assume that everything else dies in the first round of shelling. If you go to G for preboss, you can forget about that
And you're also assuming your BBs will not whiff. They whiff a lot.

After constantly getting shit on by RNG on E2, that boss music for E3 hyped my spirits right back up.

I am coming Yuu, just wait a bit longer.

>>13038981
Go with 2CVL at the start since you need >252 air power.
For final form lone Kaga is enough for AS

>>13038958
How new are you?
>>/jp/thread/S12075973#p12076831

>>13038986
Not for final boss form, that only needs like 126 AS
Parity at preboss is enough, no point gimping your fleet with two liabilities instead of one if you go for the final kill

>>13038971
HA HA

Wait for Wo Kai and unhittable Nakano

>>13038994
For final form, you don't need Zun at all though for AS. Might as well replace her with Katori so you don't need to run a sub in your escort fleet.

>>13038963
I still haven't gotten another Akagi, but I'm more careful now

>>13039000
My Katori is lvl 1. Guess I'll replace Goya with Bisko and use Akashi. Not like it makes much of a difference if it's Akashi or Katori. Both are liabilities.

How the fuck am I gonna sparkle Akashi though

>>13039017
Akashi stayed permanently sparkled nerd.
There is a reason why you put her at flag.

>>13039023
You fucking moron do realize that only if you have four battles and go to yasen in the last battle that she stays sparkled and she has to somehow get sparkled first anyway.

>>13038990
+Accuracy guns >>>> 46s.

Seriously night and day, I was regularly bringing NotKaga to orange before 2nd shelling because the BBs would actually hit things, and sparkled support +3 preemptive torps took out 2-3 ships every run.

Does it matter what you use to get accuracy bonuses for support fleets? I've seen people say you need to use surface radars, can saiuns work? I have tonnes of them from failed reppuu crafting.

>>13039017
>>13039028
1-1, same way you sparkle anything? She can equip 4x 15.5 secondaries to make sure she outdamages the lvl 1 escort DDs

>>13039028
Shouldn't have neglected your Akashi.
Here is mine, sitting at max condition until I sent her out to PVP later.

At last cleared E4 hard after 6 days of suffering.
Fleet composition :
KTKM : 15.5x2/甲標的
Kongou : 46x2/Type-0/Star Shell
Bismarck : 46x2/Type-0/Searchlight
Kaga : Reppux2/Reppu Kai/Suisei
Ayanami : 12.7/Torpedox2
Yukikaze : Best torpedox3

Boss support : 2BB 2CV 2DD with 2 radars each
Route is BFHIK (line ahead, double line, line ahead, line ahead)
I tried lots of compositions, and this one is the best work for me, damage & resource-wise.

>>13038894
>perfect S
It's meaningless.

>>13039007
Katori can equip a FCF though and her stats are a bit better.

It doesn't take long to get her remodel as well. Unless you're hurting on resources and can't afford to level her, in which case I'm not sure if you even have a chance with E-5 anyways.

>>13039028
You always kill yorktown at night battle if you are going to retreat. Basic common sense.
Do you not want Asashimo on your fail run?

I'm out of buckets and barely started cracking on E4. Is Katori worth getting for a relatively low-level ttk?

>>13039000
You need 300+AS for AS+ at boss node, which significantly increases day cut-in/DA rates.

>>13039043
I could powerlevel her but the sparkling already takes so long and then farming shit to max her out is even more of a pain
But she has more evasion at level 1 than a 35 Akashi Kai so I guess I'll grab her
Probably sticking a damecon on her just in case

>>13038954
It looks like Winter 2015 casualty report is gonna be full of Indo kuso TTK montages.

>>13039056
Katori is a top tier ship.
Yuubari, Ooyodo and Katori forms the best sub killing team.

Anything to minimize BB hime rape besides sparkles?

>>13039057
That's not gonna matter much because even a day cut-in will at most scratch the himes

>>13039067
Nope. Get to sparkling all your fleets for four hours or give your shekels to the devs like a good goy.

>>13039069
Maybe with Head-On, but with parallel or Green T they where doing anywhere from 100-190 damage Cut-ins on the BB-Himes.

Hell in half my final phase sorties they killed one before the escort fleet even went.

So I was doing 4-2 quest with Amagi+2DD.
More than 10runs now, I was sent permanently SW.
My Amagi is now lvl37.
Am I getting trolled or is there some new hidden route with new ship?

>>13039090
Even with Kaga and Zun you are not getting enough AS for supremacy without fusous
And I am not bringing fusous for the final kill
I already have Zun sparkled so I'm using her for 3 more runs but after that I'm probably gonna powergrind Katori to Kai so I can take out Goya and use Bisko.

As a new TTK, I heard about combined fleet, but I never could have imagined the number of buckets it would take.

>>13039117
You missed out on the bauxite sink.

>>13039116
Which is why I say 2CVL is the way to go, you get plenty for AS+, and have room for a saiun if one is Junyou.

>>13039091
Just trolling. Way back when I started I had trouble clearing fucking 1-2 simply because compass sent me the wrong way 10 straight times.

Also if you're trying to get boss kills you don't want to bring 2DD, you have better odds of reaching boss if whirlpool route is in play.

>>13039144
Quest need you to bring 2DD

That's it. I give up. Wasted all the resources only to make the bar drop by 1/3 and I lack sufficient ships or equipment. I'll wait for another e-peen medal. Three months weren't enough to get ready for such event. At least I managed to clear E4 on Hard. Good luck to anyone who's still trying to beat E5.

>>13039161
No.

Drop down to easy.

>>13039148
Oh, nevermind, I thought you meant the old world 4 weekly.

I've never even unlocked any of the new monthlies because I never complete the 50 transport quest (except this week, thank you E-4).

I'm glad I'm moving on to the next node but...

>>13039141
Who do you stick fleet command on then? Do you only go with 3 BB and Katori as flag then? I suppose I could leave Mutsu at home
So that would give me
Katori, Yamato, Musashi, Nagato, Junyou, Chitose + Beaver, Akizuki, Ooyodo, Bisko, Ooi, KTKM

Wonder if leaving Katori, taking Mutsu and using Goya instead of Bisko would be better for final kill.

That doesn't look too bad but the CVLs always, always fucked me over in Midway.

I'll do my next 3 runs with Zun, Kaga and Goya for now because I already sparkled them
After that, I guess I will go with Junyou K2 and Chitose, 3 BB and Katori + Bisko for a change

>>13039173
posting from other thread

>>13039192
BB Flag(2 Gun/Plane/Command)
3BB(2 Gun/Plane/AP)
2CVL(Reppuu all slots except Junyou 3 slot for saiun)

Escort:
KTKM cut-in
Ooyodo with DA, night plane, searchlight
Goya
Ayanami with Torps and Flare
Yukikaze with torps and Flare
Ooi

also what the fuck Captcha, why am i getting terrible squiggly line ones now.

stuck for 3 days at E-2

It's okay to cry now ?

>>13039256
I'll give this a try but I can just see no cut-ins triggering all the time
air superiority calculator lets me put a hybrid plane on chitose's smallest slot and still be +24 on air supremacy and air superiority on preboss
Junyou K2 Reppu Kai, Reppu, Reppu 601, Saiun - Chitose Reppu 601, reppu, reppu, hybrid
286 air superiority

That fucking Ta in the flagship position. That bitch is like, the Abyss MVP. Fucker hit Kaga to red multiple times, nailed Nagato to red once, got both Nagato and Mutsu to orange in the same battle, crit both hotels to a gust of wind away from orange form full in the same battle, and made me use damecon for Akashi twice. Never mind the 2-3 Ru, they rarely even do anything, the Ta in the second position? Nothing. But that flagship position mother fucker, god damn.

>>13039278
You lose a shitload of planes on preboss if its the Wo comp one, my AS dropped from 303 to 260 any time that comp happened.

>>13039293
I never experienced that, maybe due to AA cut-in which seem to limit plane loss a lot

>>13039299
Cut-in doesn't plane loss. It takes place post-fighter-engagement.

>>13039301
I have no other way to explain it then

>>13039211
Level up, kai and modernize your girls otherwise Hime is going to make you mad.

>>13039306
Most of them are maxed for modernizations, I have to Kai like 2-3 of them. How should I setup my equipment and shit?

Anyone rage quit at E-5 Hard? A friend of mine can't last kill the boss even with sparkle everything and best equipment.
I haven't even tried E-5 yet. Is it really that difficult?

>>13039327
It's about as hard as E-6 2014-summer.

>>13039310
You want to go to CEHK
Go read up on how you can get there and see what ships you have. Equip enough airplane to get AS and then just go full double attack and cutin for your miracle ships.
Just press sortie and receive your german sub. It is that easy.

>>13039327
I've seen a constant stream of people quitting E5 Hard in threads the past few days. I'm debating quitting myself. Sparkling 4 fleets is not fun.

>>13039327
Once you've got the proper fleet and equipment, it's a matter of luck, persistence, and resources.

What's your friend's fleet look like? How high level are his girls?

Is f5ing to avoid compass trolling really that bad?

>>13039327
There's more than a week to go, and 3-4 months until the next event. Why quit so early?

>>13039345
Get banned, nerd.

>>13039327
Just need to get lucky, like always. Within reasonable range, equipment/ships/levels/compositions don't matter since there are people who clear it easily with any set-up (within reasonable range, once again).

>>13039327
Fall2013>Winter2015 E5 Final Kill>Summer2014 E6 Final Kill for me.

Although I did finish Fall 2013 but the stress of seeing the HP regen slowly going up and my measly 5figures resource going down the gutter and boss running away are incomparable.
I was also pretty low level during fall back then.
With a full fleet of lvl90+ and 300k resources now, it was only a matter of time for E5 last kill.
I got it on my 6th sortie.

This just happened to me >>13039372
I had S+ rank on two nodes and then had only 8 scratch damage on Mutsu and 5 scratch on KTKM
Only Ooyodo was chuha at yasen and they still choked so hard it makes you think those BB Himes put out poison gas.

>>13039344
>What's your friend's fleet look like? How high level are his girls?

99 most of them

1st fleet: Yamato Kai, Musashi Kai, Nagato Kai, Mutsu Kai, Chitose Kai Ni, Chiyoda Kai Ni

2nd fleet: KTKM Kai Ni, Ooi Kaini, Verniy, Jintsuu Kai Ni, Yuudachi Kai Ni, Shigure Kai Ni.

His Yamato and Musashi get one shot to red quite many times, even before boss node.

I wish there was a mechanic that made only T engagements possible.

>>13039380
Next event the BB Himes will have searchlights

Why low LV can't chose hard mode. I want my 51cm gun, damn it

>>13039380
Indeed, keep at it though, here is how my final kill went:

Boss 248/500
Flare, searchlight, Yasen Plane all activate.
KTKM chokes CI, but kills last BB-hime anyways.
Ooi Taiha
Ooyodo DA crit, boss at 142/500
Goya Chokes
Ayanami Chokes
Yukikaze cut-in for 168

>>13039264
Try this setup?
>>13038167

>>13039394
I don't trust cut-ins anymore
if KTKM chokes again, I'm pulling the shitty cut-in equip and give her double attack
And if you go to G preboss, you're fucked anyway. The Ru Kai will 100% always kill someone

>>13039350
frustration and rage do shit to people. He even stated that he scrapped every ships involved in the event out of anger. Not sure if he's telling the truth though.

Guys, I'm so happy right now ;_;

any reports of Tanikaze dropping from E-4 hard?

>>13039475
I got one from E-2.

>>13039421
>KTKM chokes
>cut-in
See >>13036126
Kitakami probably got a secret stealth nerf after her summer E6 performance.

>>13039475
I'll trade you the one I got on E5 BB node for 5k ammo.

Is it time for the rape? Or do I have one more to go?

>>13039332
What formation do I use, Bottom right, right?

>>13039501
One more.

>>13039504
Yes, for this event except for E1 you will want to go all the way with the best formation. Always listen to Isokaze.

>>13039513
Isokaze's tits are too small on this pic

I so fucking hate T-cross. This is the 3rd consecutive time I got a damn T-cross without a Saiun. Fuck.
>inb4 hurr easy modo

Well this looks promising.

>>13039525
>easy mode
No excuse, especially with those ships.

This sounds like bad advice.

>>13039531
>4 ships alive
Won't happen, don't hold your breath

>>13039531
my goodness, that has to be the lowest i've seen the boss going into night battle. looking awful good.

>>13039532
I don't have to compensate for anything thank you very much.

>>13039544
So be it.

Used all of my luck on E-5, now my subslaves absolutely refuse to go to transport nodes. 2-3 boss node about 7 times in a row now.

>>13039525
>easy modo
Your girls look disgusted due to their admiral cowardice and their shitty performance reflect this

My plane count is 1 Reppu, 4 Shiden kai2 and 1 601 Reppu.

How are my AS chances on E-2 to 5? Is this still acceptable on medium? What can I do to remedy this?

>>13039617
You're going to get fucked at E2 medium and even at E4 easy. Craft more Reppuus. The cut off here is that 1 Reppuu kai and 1 R601 can barely scrape AS at E3s and E4 and that's assuming you have extra Reppuus.

>>13039617
Reppuu

>>13039531
I uhh, got overly excited there, kinda just left my room for a while after.

SUPER KTKM-SAMA? More like super choked sama. Ooi saved the day again.

>>13039635
>all those choking
Oh my god. Congrats man.

Anyway, how do you make these kind of webm?

>>13039635
Ooi is truly the MVP of this event. Cut-ins are deprecated, all hail double attacks.

It took me somewhere between 300-400 buckets, something like 50k fuel and ammo, god knows how much steel and 10k baux. Fucking hell man.
>>13039646
>>13039651
My Ooi was a gigantic piece of shit, she cost me several S rank clears for the final kill because she felt like it was her job to be a meat shield for her lover. Oni was literally at <100hp MULTIPLE times all alone, but fucking Ooi was red so she couldn't kill her.
>>13039648
I recorded it with OBS and used webm for retards. I never cared about the webm business and rarely encode videos, so I don't know how to use ffmpeg.

>>13039651
If my cut-ins choke again I'm kicking out beaver, and taking Poi and giving KTKM double attack

Having a hard time with E-3, HQ 32.

3 FBB, 1 BBV, 2 CVL in my main fleet.
1 CA, 1 CL, 3 DD, 1 CLT as the escort.

Keep getting sent A-B-F-G-I-K, and even then RNG blesses me with un-damaged ships until I, then BB Hime puts two-three of the BBs in red. Once I get to the boss my accuracy is shit and I have a hard time getting rid of trash enemies. Any advice?

>>13039664
Call in support fire? Sparkle your ships? Using the right formations?

>>13039664
Swap CLT for a DD. Use only 2 BB.

>>13039670
All ships sparkling, right formations, haven't done support fire because I'm strapped for resources as is.

>>13039671
Anything I should replace the BB with then, or go in as 5?

>>13039651
Shame considering how well cutin worked during summer E6.

>>13039657
I went from 3 cut-in setups to just 1 cut-in on Shigure as flag+searchlight, which she does pretty much all the time, but everyone else with DAs still not enough to cut it because of some other random bullshit. Not like it matters anyway since chances of clearing are the same regardless.

>>13039679
Myoukou had to clean up awful mess that Kitakami left me then.

What the fuck? Error girl every time I reach the boss node

>>13039625
So I need 4 Reppus and a 601 Reppu?

>>13039690
Reppuu

>>13039687
Clear your cache

>>13039676
>2 FBB + 2 CAV + 2 CVL (1st fleet) and 1 CL + 1 CA + 4 DD (2nd fleet) will go C->E->H->K. This is only 3 battles total and is probably the shortest route to boss. Though there is a fuel maelstrom at E.
Go check the wiki.

>>13039690
That's for hard though. You need at least 1 Reppuu kai, 1 R601 but preferably 2 of them plus 2 other Reppuus. I say again this is for hard mode. The only one that really doesn't make much difference when it comes to difficulty is E4.

>>13039697

Got literally no CAV, and wouldn't be here without checking the wiki. Started like two weeks ago.

>>13039701
What about Medium/Easy?

As a TTK who is 0 for god knows how many crafts on a sub, and has played more hours of silent hunter 3 than I will ever admit, I am beyond happy.

does this makes me go to H instead of G?

I'm trying to make this by A-F-G-I and avoid most of BBs

>>13039721
what is that ?

>>13039761
Yes, but it was more than worth it.

Anyone got an offline copy of enaircal.webuda's AS calculator?

>E3

>Only the fucking boss left
Of course KTKM chokes. Goddammit.

How do I convince my friend who joined two weeks ago that he can clear at least E-3 if he tried but not if he keeps fucking around in 2-3 with his Haruna?

>>13039808
He's a lost cause, let him rot.

Or you can make him listen to U-511 lines, that always work.

>>13039808
>joined two weeks ago
He can't.

>>13039808
>he keeps fucking around in 2-3 with his Haruna
Heh.

>>13039814
You don't know how easy it is to unlock 3-2 to level/modernize ships now. Equipment crafting isn't an issue too with 1-5 being there to inflate your HQ level. I made a new account for fun months ago and I was able to get KitaOoi, Goya/Imuya and 4th fleet within 3 days and 3-2 unlocked.

Fuckit, my ammo can't handle this.
Benching my hotel and boss support until final run.

>>13039825
Getting levels to craft is fine. Having the Dev mats to beat RNG less so.

Does he even have enough ships for a reasonable combined fleet?

>>13039805
Slap her shit

>>13039839
A month's worth of dev mats is easily enough to clear E-3 on easy, The AS requirements are laughably low. He already has 3 monkeys despite still being at 2-3 and not getting subs from 1-5 to clear 2-4. His problem is that he's always sortieing his unremodelled and unmodernized Haruna and repairing it from Chuuha/Taiha.

>>13039790
>E2

>>13039860
His luck sounds better than mine then.

I would ask he wants a kawaii u boot, and if not, he is hopeless anyway.

Is 2BB 1BBV 1FBB 2CV/1SS 2DD 1CL 2CLT a good fleet for E-5 medium? I know I read that some of the ships should be BBVs for the seaplanes, but I don't have any other BBVs left and my Musashi is only 16.

>>13039979
2 SBB m8

>>13039999
I have NagaMutsu for that. The rest are Fusou and Bismarck.

>E4 hard
>get S ranks on boss node while chipping hp

>can never kill boss even with boss support
>this happens for over 20 runs
FUCK THIS RNG I AM BUTTMAD

This is unnerving, some say Goya for better branching, although she sucks in Night battle.
Others say go with CA or Bismarck.

I've seen people clearing E5 with Goya, so unless anything has changed in the meanwhile, I'll try Goya until I get sorely raped.

Should I need more lube?

Plenty of videos tho, shiller.

I tried a sparkle run once, flagship got taiha in night battle.

>>13040024
Goya is nice for the pre-final boss form since it allows you to skip the maelstrom but without requiring you to run Akashi or Katori in your main fleet. This frees up your main fleet to have more room for FP boosting ships for AS.

Once you're on the final kill, it's better to run with Katori or Akashi in your main fleet (since you can now get AS with just one CV) so you can run a heavier hitting ship like a CA or Bisko for yasen while still avoiding the maelstrom.

So what kind of AS numbers do I need for E3?

Using Junyou and Ryuujou right now and I'm sitting at 177 with my current setup, though I'm not running full greens.

>>13040052
Thanks, that actually makes sense.
What level range Katori should be?

First run with 4 BB 2 CVL, fucking abyss kaga shoots Ooi right to taiha and I'm stupid enough to send her and ayanami home and proceed anyway
Boss battle everyone dodges like monsters and then only KTKM gets reckt and proceeds to DA the boss for scratch. if she had full HP, that would've been it.
Worst of all? Ooi and Ayanami went from 86 morale to 22 and then to 0 because of the pulling. Now I have to resparkle them at least to where the others are before I can do 1 more run after which boss support is already fucking running out again and I have to resparkle 4 fleets for the second time today.
I hope whoever came up with this map gets run over by a car and is left paralyzed so hard that he can never even see or move again and spends decades living in agony, darkness and loneliness as punishment for this retarded bullshit.

Someone make a new thread, quick.

What the hell for? We're on page 3

>>13040067
A fully modernized Katori Kai (35) is probably fine so long as you stick her in the flag position.

>>13040076
We are over the post limit by 100 AND down to page 3.
We deserve a new thread.

>>13040068
I recommend not using the Fleet command facility if you are on the final kill. Retreating is better than going in without 2 ships IMO. It's great for chipping the boss but not as much for final kill.

>>13040084
Go away troll

>>13040087
I realized that after my last run

If this doesn't work out, I'm sticking 3 damecons on Akashi, going back to Kaga, replace Goya with Bisko

Based and most MVP-est Shigure for the cut-in torpedo kill for E-3.

A support ship got hit while sparkling, is there any issue using it on support without repairing?
Normal expeditions work fine afaik.

>anyone with a differing opinion must be a troll
fuck off shitlord

>>13040092
I've been running Akashi route, but my Kitakami choked and didn't cut in when I needed. Not sure If she would've done enough damage in the same situation with DA and it really hurts me since it was the perfect run until it happened.

>>13040101
If its scratch don't bother, I bucket at small damage just to be safe.

>>13040068
If you are on final kill, go to night battle and kill yorktown for Asashimo to keep your flagship sparkled.

>>13040068
I want whoever came up with the sparkle mechanics to suffer instead. The map is fine.

Is E-3 really that difficult? I don't remember any suffering there but based on the posts here it should've been hell.

>>13040134
sparkling is fine
Making a map that almost requires sparkling 24 ships unless you're a goddamn luck billionaire is not fine

>>13040137
post comp and formation

>>13040137
Could someone post enemy fleet for E-5 easy and medium?

>>13040143
>sparkling is fine
No, it's retarded. Bringing overlevelled ships to 1-1 AND spending more time overall on 1-1 than on the event map is not fine.

>>13040149
I don't remember, will check the screenshots when I get home
