we already have not one, but TWO perfectly serviceable threads

stop insisting on being the first to make a new one just because you want to choose what's in the OP

>>13040287
>>13040288
There are always complainers, but the silent majority just ignores them.

>>13040290
This is my first thread though.

>>13040297
>There are always complainers, but the silent majority just ignores them.
what the fuck are you even talking about

you fucked up the OP, it doesn't ~actually~ fucking matter but it's still stupid

>This is my first thread though.
we already have not one, but TWO perfectly serviceable threads

please at least wait until the original one falls off, three is overdoing it

>>13040304
Shut up
Those other threads are way past the autosage limit.
We DESERVE an up to date thread like every other one on this godforsaken board.

>>13040317
You deserve one thread. You have two threads. Three is right out. If other people were as inconsiderate as you we'd be up to our assholes in monster girls.

I bet you're sniping the right time creating the thread for it not get deleted.

>>13040320
Yes! This the 2hu board, kanshitters should learn where they belong, amirite??

>>13040328
If you made a thread that wasn't YET ANOTHER FUCKING GENERAL THREAD, I wouldn't have this complaint. Soku and STG threads never went up to three.

The entire purpose of farming popular topics into general threads is so that the thread isn't on the front page 24 hours a day forever.

>>13040320
The monmusu thread shouldn't be a general in the first place. They are forcefully contained like everything non-touhou.

>>13040337
Should have thought twice before invading the Touhou board.

>>13040342
>invading

>>13040345
That's what it's generally called when a massive number of posters moves to a new board while without regard for the existing userbase or posting standards, yes.

And no, despite being the "shitposting board," /jp/ standards do exist - it's just that the board was being raided nonstop for around four years.

>>13040331
I'm not the OP you fucking retard, stop sperging out.

>The entire purpose of farming popular topics into general threads is so that the thread isn't on the front page 24 hours a day forever.
Good goy. Now go back to your general and let yourself babysitted by Team4chan Do tell me, why isn't there a touhou general then?
Generals are cancer because they sideline important board related topics. Enjoy spending 80% of your time at the bottom of the board. We must protect all those precious 2hu imagedumps and armpit threads afterall!

>>13040353
>Generals are cancer because they sideline important board related topics
Then stop defending a thread named "Kancolle general," you retarded fuck.

>Do tell me, why isn't there a touhou general then?
Because /jp/ was literally created to be the Touhou board.

>>13040353
>spending 80% of your time at the bottom of the board
Does it even matter?

Touhoe is flat out autistic bullshit tho

>>13040358
Then let's have a kancolle, idol and monster girl board too, you fucking retarded autistic piece of shit.

>>13040363
Very good goy.

>>13040368
>Then let's have a kancolle, idol and monster girl board too
I have no problem with these ideas. Please send your suggestions further up the ladder. For the time being, you'll have to deal with the facts on the ground, which is that /jp/ is the Touhou (and VN) board.

The real thread isn't dead yet and there are two useless cancer threads that janny can masturbate over.

>>13040353
>stop sperging out
oh the ironing

>>13040372
>/jp/ is the Touhou (and VN) board.
>VN board.
That's /vg/, get on with the times.
Do you realise if touhou appeared today it would have been forced into a general too? The amount of shitposting it created in the past and still does wouldn't have been tolerated.

At least have the decency to wait for other threads to die.
MG thread is at 3k posts and had reached image limit, but they still contained it in a single thread.

>>13040393
Why don't they raise the image count if they want to contain everything into a single thread?

>>13040393
They don't have a choice m8, just like the idol threads.

>>13040385
>Do you realise if touhou appeared today it would have been forced into a general too?
IM@S isn't strictly confined to general threads. Neither are, say, TYPE-MOON or Higurashi. You're free to make a Rin thread AND a Saber thread if you want. Nobody's stopping you. Nobody's stopping you from making an Amatsukaze thread either, except for the part where it'll get fifteen posts and then die.

>The amount of shitposting it created in the past and still does wouldn't have been tolerated.
Only because moot moved /a/ back into permissive mode.

>>13040402
>they
Who? In my previous post, 'they' means the thread residents.

>>13040406
>Nobody's stopping you from making an Amatsukaze thread
Literally, yes, nobody. But it will be deleted on the spot when janny wakes up since it will be full of 2hu shitposting anyway.

>except for the part where it'll get fifteen posts and then die.
Are you really this dumb?
Of course, because everyone is CONTAINED into the general and won't even bother checking out the first page. Individual threads getting deleted all the time doesn't help either.

>>13040406
>Nobody's stopping you from making an Amatsukaze thread either, except for the part where it'll get fifteen posts and then die.
Oh, i remember that.
I think one thread has a devoted anon bumping it everyday to keep the thread alive.

>>13040419
The admin, janny and his merryband of faggots.

>>13040424
>But it will be deleted on the spot when janny wakes up
You missed the party, /jp/ is operating more permissively now as of two weeks ago. It was a whole thing.

>Of course, because everyone is CONTAINED into the general and won't even bother checking out the first page.
That's just the users being retarded. I tried to move Kancolle off the general model in 2013 by trying to divide out discussion of secondary works and characters from the main thread. Those weren't canned by janitors - they just fell off the board because nobody posted in them.

>>13040433
Those kinds of fuck-massive general threads are square pegs being shoved in round holes - moot never meant for 4chan to sustain the 2ch model and there's no need for him (or new moot) to go out of their way to make them feel at home, even if he's going to allow them to exist.

>>13040436
> Those weren't canned by janitors - they just fell off the board because nobody posted in them.
At this point, /jp/ is for game discussion and /a/ for everything else (shitposting included).
Even Kagafag and yurishitposter finally followed that bizarre rule.

>>13040459
>At this point, /jp/ is for game discussion and /a/ for everything else (shitposting included).
Yeah, I'm aware of that - the primary reason Kancolle in /jp/ lives in a single general thread is because the vast majority of fans came from /a/ (there's no shame in that, 100% of /jp/ came from /a/ at some point), and prefer to do all their shit in /a/ instead of in scattered /jp/ threads.

>>13040465
I'm sure being hated out of /jp/ by hostile 2hufags had nothing to do with it.

>>13040470
>vocal hostile 2hufags
ftfy

>>13040470
Ninety-five percent of shit directed at Kancolle came from the same shitposters who had been shitting on everything in /jp/ nonstop for four years straight. There was nothing we could do about it until moderation finally got their shit together last year.

To be honest, actual Touhou fans were fairly split in opinion (particularly those who had a lot of favorite circles, many of which jumped ship). Most of the people stirring shit were - surprise - people stirring shit for the sake of stirring shit.

>>13040473
Obvious 2hufag is obvious.

>>13040477
Obvious 2hufag trying to save face is obvious.

>>13040482
I was a Touhoufag before I got into Kancolle, yes. It was primarily the movement of doujin activity that got me interested in Kancolle. What's it to you?

Eitherway I'm going to shipposting until BB Water Oni let me pound her ass completely.

Which one is the hardest map in this event?

>>13040610
1-1 obviously.

>>13040622
>sparkling
no thx, too much effort
PvP sparkles is all u need.

When Kancolle was first getting started I hoped it would develop along the lines that Touhou culture in /jp/ once did but for various reasons it never happened.

Most of which being that /jp/ culture had already been dead for years.

>>13040649
What kind of culture were you expecting?

>>13040658
One where everyone got along and has fun in lots of threads, exploring both the lore (well, in this case lore means history because there's very little) and the secondary scene.

So kind of like what the /a/ threads eventually became, except with more interest in the secondary scene and less /a/-tier stupidity.

>>13040669
Damn, I'd have liked the /jp/ threads to become like that. I quite enjoy the primary elitism though.

>>13040669
>expecting intelligent discussion from the touhou containment board

>>13040712
It's like going to /mlp/ and trying to discuss fine art.

>>13040692
Obviously it's not good to be a secondary who's never played the game (what are you even doing), but honestly after a certain point all the game discussion outside events starts to sound exactly the same..

Elitism in a game based primarily off grinding is kind of iffy anyway.

>>13040712
>>13040717
Back in the day, we had a reputation for being a quality board, you know? Before the pudding came and destroyed everything.

Get off mah lawn.

>>13040669
That /a/ kancolle thread is basically old /jp/ stupidity

>>13040784
... come to think of it you're actually right. People come up with some great shit in there.

The only thing that I don't like so much is that when everybody's rolled up into one thread like that a lot of stuff inevitably gets drowned out..

>>13040793
>People come up with some great shit in there.

post your E-3 faeces

Is there a fleet requirement to get to the boss node in 2-4? I can't seem to find it on the wiki so I'm guessing its all up to the rng?

>>13040979
It's all RNG. In the end I got fed up and cheesed it with subs, I think that's the most resource-efficient option.

Ded anime.

Ded game.

Meh, I really hoped 2hu will finally have competition.

>>13041361
Maybe.

>>13041310
My love was killed by foreign fans shitting all over muh franchise.

I just wanted to ironically RP some autistic anime sisters with huge fuckoff guns strapped to their backs, but apparently that's too much for the rest of the world to handle.

Have I understood right?CLT with DA setup for chipping, then go praying for cutin on last kill?
Has anyone cleared E5 just with DA?

>>13041648

>>13041667
Nah, Ooi gets always targeted like a turkey.
Also if you are unaware of this, anon, images capture ONE moment, they don't give the full history of what the hell happened before.

>>13041677
No.The point is the DA damaged is enough to wipe off the boss health.
You will get targeted no matter what you use. Ooi doesn't choke.

>>13041732
>Ooi doesn't choke.
She does. She can deal tons of damage, but saying that she doesn't choke is pure bullshit.

>>13041746
She chokes on my cock.

>>13041804
You'd dream.

She's a lesbian you dweeb.
She likes ktkm only.

>>13041842

>>13041819
I taught her about the D and she was a diligent student.

For the final kill of E-3, should I replace the torpedo and dive bombers on my CVL with fighters to obtain air superiority again for the daytime double attack or cutin?

First submarine kai ni was for the new girl, must suck to be an I-type submarine.

>>13041879
No one cares.

>>13041998
Well, it's more of a change like Taigei -> Ryuuhou because her stats aren't really that great.

She's cute though, that's what it matters.

>>13042022
>like Taigei -> Ryuuhou
That's a whole ship type change, if anything it's more like Hibiki -> Верный.

>>13040847
People have some pretty good Kaga macros.

Watching these pictures spill fucking everywhere is also funny from time to time, /jp/ used to be a big fan of that kind of thing.

>>13042038
Goddamn, I completely forgot about Верный.

>>13041667
Here's mine.

You're proving your brilliance, janny.

So new TTK here, started 2.5 weeks ago, I just cleared E4 on easy and I'm pretty much low on resources now. Do I have a chance to clear E5 before the end of the event or should I just not bother?

>>13042865
Go for it. You lose nothing, even if you fail.

>>13042879
This. It's not like there's much resource intensive tasks to do between events.

>>13042879
>>13042889
All right, I'll give it a shot. Was just asking because I've seen many comments on the wiki from HQ90++ players going for easy... Even HQ100+. And I'm nowhere near that. (I started the event at HQ39...)

Even complaining on jay doesn't work anymore. Asashimo must really hate me.

Just finished E5 (thank you based KTKM-sama).
If that was easy, i definately didn't have resources, ships or equipment for anything higher

>>13042895
i'd at least try once, see how you measure up

>>13042879
except resource-stamina

>>13042889
there's always going for earlier event maps for the rare ship drops while the event lasts

Is there an LOS check on E4?

What should I focus on as a new admiral?

Grinding levels, resources, getting ships, advancing sortie maps, expeditions... what should I be aiming at for now?

Ayanami unrelated, but her voice does things to my heart.

I find that top right formation increases the combined fleet's accuracy some. And my fleet's evasion too.

So I ended up using it for boss nodes as well. Is it a bad idea?

>>13043029
>increases the combined fleet's accuracy some

Tthat's the entire point of it.

>>13043038
I know that, but is it a good idea to use it against the boss, instead of bottom right?

>>13043044
are you killing the boss? If so, it's reasonable enough

>>13043067
Good. I shall use it for E5 final kill when I get there. Either way, I'll deal scratch to the meatshields and oneshot the weaklings at the boss node, so I might as well maximise my accuracy.

Increased accuracy is useless when all your ships do is scratch damage.
Better go with max damage and a little lower accuracy so the enemies can be incapacitated from 1 hit instead of needing 3-4 hits. It can matter a lot how soon that enemy carrier goes orange.
Kill them before they can kill you.

>>13043096
There's another factor I'm taking into account here, and it's the evasion top right appears to give. A carrier being at full HP that can't hit for nuts is harmless.

>>13043106
except on the final fight you REALLY need the kills and the damage(and on a bossfight you can better afford getting hit than on previous ndes)

Sparkles should provide you with that bonus accuracy and dodge anyway

>>13043144
I do want to maximise my damage. It's just that it's in my opinion that strong but inaccurate attacks is not the way to go.

>>13043106
Not worth the risk.
In the long run you have better chances surviving by disabling the enemy than trying to weather through multiple attacks.
You can increase your accuracy better than your evasion.

>>13043162
>In the long run you have better chances surviving by disabling the enemy than trying to weather through multiple attacks.
>You can increase your accuracy better than your evasion.
With normal fleet mechanics, yes. With combined fleet mechanics, no.

>>13043176
you get around 18 whacks (+aerial phase +support expedition fire +torpedoes) before night battle
you won't get all that many extra hits from defensive formatiion
and you really want to sink as many ships as possible before night battle

>>13043228
Like I said, either way I deal scratch to the meatshields and oneshot the rest, so damage done is hardly an issue here.

>BB hime cut-in misses Yukikaze completely
kek

>>13043228
You people keep forgetting that support expeditions use the same formation modifiers as the main fleets do. If you use the bottom-right formation, they're always gonna be more useful.

Anyone farming whales at E-1?

Dropped one, didn't have one before, now going for a second for remodel, almost at 40 sorties and nothing.

I hope it's not like last event farming Akashi, after droping one at 14th run nothing for 90 more S ranks.

>>13043284
I do know that, but does their accuracy stay the same regardless of formation?

>>13043291
Whales no since I already have 3 of them, but I do want a second Akashi. No luck at E1 though.

>>13043313
No it doesn't. But the bottom-right formation has good accuracy and the damage difference between bottom-right and upper-right is the difference between scratching the Wo and CAs and oneshotting them

>>13043324
>bottom-right formation has good accuracy
I was under the impression that top right had better accuracy. But if that's not the case, then I retract my earlier statements.

>>13043333
I said good. Not best.

>>13043361
...oh well.

Guess I'll have to decide later on.

>>13043368
Better accuracy means nothing if you're only going to scratch the enemy because of the reduced firepower.

>>13043377
I'll just go above the firepower cap to make up for it, then. Damage is capped after formation modifiers, last I checked.

>>13043394
Going higher in damage will automatically offset the accuracy you'd get from not going over the cap.

>>13043475
Keh, I have no idea then.

Maybe I'll alternate when it gets to that.

Which recipe for Reppu from the wikia is most effective? Or are all the highlighted ones are as good as they get?

I noticed that when any non-armored carrier is in orange health, it has no shelling phase but it can still perform the opening torpedo phase. I think that's the more precise meaning about not launching planes anymore.

>>13043731
Reppuu

>>13043731
I highly recommend 10/10/10/300. Give it a couple tries and you'll likely get one.

Is drop rate affected by difficulty? I'm thinking of dropping to easy for E-4.

What's the problem with the A-C-E-H-I route in E-3?

>>13044060
Not too shabby. Why does Sega like Hyuuga so much?

>>13043001
First and foremost. Assemble a team of five destroyers and one light cruiser. Craft Anti-Submarine equipment and use it to conquer Event Map 1 (E-1). Spam it and defeat the boss for goodies. Make sure to have one scout plane on the light cruiser.

On non-event time? Spam 1-3. Acquire your 3rd fleet (Collect all 3 Sendai). Rush to area 3-2. Acquire your 4th fleet (Collect all four Kongou). Expeditions can stop at 21. Push further and collect 4 different submarines if you want Germans. Spam 2, 3, 5, and 6 for your daily resource grind. If you only touch the game once a day, look into 5~12 hour expeditions and do those.

As a newbie, do all your PVPs. They refresh twice a day, the hour depends on your timezone. Even if you cannot win, and especially if your opponent is going to kick your ass. Just make sure to have no planes equipped if you suicide. There's lots of EXP to be had.

Oh, and make sure to refer to the wiki often, scrub.

>>13044160
I'm not too sure if it does, but I got Zuikaku, Kaga then Asashimo today on hard.

>>13044192
it's not that sega likes her, it's that nobody likes her so it's ok to show her first since nobody cares if her model is off/shit

>>13044203
The Ise sisters are all over that cabinet though

>>13044160
drop rates scale based on difficulty and level tier

>>13044194
Not him, but one scout plane is enough?

>>13044160
Ships like I-401, Yahagi, I-8 and I-19 only drops from Hard. Kinda like how previous events can only drop some ships at HQ Lv.80+ or sometimes Lv.100+ through level scaling difficulty. Devs also mention having higher drop rates on higher difficulty.

>>13044212
>>13044214
Well that sucks. I'm dropping anyway, I have no way to get air superiority on normal and E-2/3 drained most of my resources.

>>13044192
iSE ang hyuGA.

>>13044203
I do like the Ise sisters.

>>13044228
I think you might be on to something here

>>13044213
That's what I'm told. It supposedly makes reaching the boss node easier.

I like to have the 5 DDs carry anti-submarine gear, and the CL has the scoutplane, 1 red gun, and one AS sonar. One node actually throws non-submarines at you right before the boss.

Should I throw 20.3s on CLs or stick with 14s?

>>13044269
I'd prefer 20.3. The only thing the 14cm has over it is the +1 accuracy, and you can get that from other gear.

>>13044203
I like Ise and Hyuuga

>>13044266
It is required to reach the boss, there's an LoS check before the boss node, if you fail it you'll be diverted away.

>>13044337
Yup. I had a surface radar tacked on and never noticed/had that problem, but felt enough to mention it since a fellow TTK had said so.

He has a Tokitsukaze now. I'm not jealous.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing to raise your admiral HQ level?

>>13044667
Good. Harder maps bring better rewards.

>>13044667
Good only if your ships are also levelled. No point having access to better maps but being unable to clear it.

>>13044680
Higher HQ level means higher natural regen cap

Well, E-4 hard was pretty damn easy aside from KTKM going full retard as soon as I was on final kill, making it require two extra attempts. Certainly one of the easiest yasen node routes I've seen.

Used Poi, Musashi, Naka, KTKM, Beaver, Hiryuu for every run with 2DD/2BB/2CV boss support. The goddamn beaver spent literally every boss battle taiha'd; it was Hiryuu, Poi, and Musashi who had to save the day for the final kill.

>>13044534
So it is a wikia meme?

>>13044813
Not sure but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

>>13044831
It's her hidden number for her kai in the game http://www51.atpages.jp/kancollev/kcplayer.php?f=0&c=328v1

This is in the game to implement new kai lines from real events (new year's, christmas, etc) or because the kai simply has different lines.

Fucking finally, suck a dick BB hime. Time to try getting katori and amagi

Also what is WG42 supposed to be used for, anyway? Just a not!type 3 for small ships?

yes but it's worthless for subs who have low firepower stats even if the bonus damage was 10x.

It is not for subs.

WG42 uses special attack animation, I'm not sure torp cut-in will work.

Why do I always get rekt by that pre boss BB monster in E2? Even tough I use the survivability formation.

>>13045747

You are supposed to go bottom right formation.
Also use CEHK route.

>>13045859
oh, the stream was some days ago already. I'll probably stream again sunday if I'm not done by then. And yeah, I'm generally sparkling to 80+ then doing it again when they fall below 60.

>>13046290
Thanks again, although I don't have it unlocked yet, still only have world 2, I've been caught up on the event.

>>13046294
You need to unlock that as soon as possible, it's really important when your HQ level is high

>>13045307
That disgusting watermark

>>13046294
You're an idiot for not unlocking 3-2 before doing the event.

>>13046303
I'm at HQ 26, I'll get on with it once the event time has passed, I have a whole bunch of girls to level up, I need to get my Kongou's ready for E2.

Event ends on the 23rd right?

>>13046307
I started playing exactly 5 days before the event started, not to mention how delayed my progress quests have gotten.

>>13046294
Just farm E-1 for your monkeys.
They drop like candy.

Type 3 shell vs 14 Air radar, which is better for AA?

>>13046318
You're still an idiot.
Have fun clearing the real maps without a good leveling spot.

Only one left for the front page.
There's a hell lot of other players here who have the e-peen already.

>>13046344
What makes you think he didn't clear it on medium or something?

I think I'll go have a drink with the Fusou sisters.

Thanks, that helps a lot.

I didn't realize I could already craft anti-sub equipment at HQ lvl 10, and I didn't dare touch the event maps, but this looks doable after all.
(I guess the 10-50-10-51 recipe has a tendency to produce planes as well, though...)

I was already wondering about the best place to farm those Sendais, too. I guess I lucked out when I randomly built the nameship, but I still need Jintsuu and Naka.

Well, time to grind.

>>13046369
>>13046383
He might be still in the process though. But as rankers on a server bearing the name of the event, I think they need to uphold their title as rankers and clear it on hard. Moreso if you're part of the ten

>>13046329
You're pretty stupid if you think any newcomer will know how to play the game from the moment he logs in for his very first time.
Of course it's easy for you to talk whilst standing in your high horse when in a worst case scenario you joined 3 weeks - 1 month before a big event took place, but that is besides the point.

There is lot of information to take in and the rush of the event does not help since your priorities are always completely mixed up as a newcomer. if you browsed previous threads, as I'm sure you did, you'll notice the amount of helpless posts from rookies that joined at the same time I did.

>what does this do? wait fuck what do i need for the event? wait, where do I get ASW? Nothing drops, I'm out of dev mats send help!

Crap, I sunk the crab DD in 1-1 sparkling.

>>13046402
Good riddance, I say.

>>13046401
I started during the November '13 event and cleared E-4. I was able to because I did my homework, read the advice on wikiwiki and leveled a fleet to ~50.

But if you want to be an average anon on /jp/ I guess that's your choice.

Thanks Yukikaze.

>>13046420
>But if you want to be an average anon on /jp/ I guess that's your choice.
If standing out from the crowd was my goal I'd just get a tripcode and call it a day. Slow or not I'm perfectly fine with playing the game at my own pace. Also don't forget that this is an RNG based game with RNG based reward system.

I began learning the game the moment I started playing and did my research on the wiki as I progressed, learning from my mistakes and getting advice from anons fellow anons.

>>13046420
> I was able to because I did my homework, read the advice on wikiwiki and leveled a fleet to ~50.
No, you were able to because you got lucky. I would think someone playing for that long would understand, but no, it's quite a shame. Why are the lucky shits always the most obnoxious.

>>13046456
I doubt he even got lucky, he probably made a lot of mistakes like everyone else but forced himself to forget about it and now rages whenever he can to pump up his quickly deflating ego.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with not unlocking 3-2 in first five days.

>>13046420
You're not even part of the guys who joined until September 2013. And the info you read came from anons who joined before November 2013 and who contributed a lot of info. Lower your ego a bit. You're just part of the crowd who joined when KC is already known wide.

>>13045177
i got 5 hotels (3 Yamato, 2 Musashi) while trying for Bismark and still nothing, fuck my luck i guess.

>>13046396
Well, this is working better than expected. And I only got in on the lottery this wednesday.
(E-1 boss S-Rank drop... easy of course)

When I beat E-1, are the further event maps feasible in any form?

>>13046473

>>13046467
Tone down your elitism, shitlord.

>>13046478
you should be able to beat till E3, just follow the guides on wiki, but a lot depends on how many buckets/resources and your girls level, E2 and E3 are a lot more resource intensive and require specific fleet compositions to reach boss, E1 is a joke, it's a lot easier than 1-5.

>>13046480
Nothing. I muted the BGM.

>>13046488
Only people with Shindens and/or part of the crowd who joined before September-November have the right to be an elitist. And at least we're not complete assholes like some anons here. So fuck off if you're acting high and mighty when you've joined at the time KC was already popular.

>>13046488
>>13046502
I'm actually a dev.
Now I'm going to shut down the event, just because you confronted me.

Also next time you'll enjoy 5 Hime.

Don't forget to buy revive crystals.

>>13046502
Nobody should be elitist. Its a fucking single player, heavily RNG game. I don't see why some TTKs are dicks at all here to newer people. Just being a dick for the sake of being a dick.

>>13046514
Someone has to put them in place because back then we're actually helping each other. Nowadays it's the usual go read the fucking wiki or some other bullshit when these guys probably benefited from the info compiled from those months. At least that's the way I see it.

Anons, is it better to equip flashlight on a CI flagship, or the last ship of the fleet?
So far it seems the enemy didn't target the flagship that much.

>>13046462
With Fall's E-4, there was less to do with preparation as there was with luck. All you needed were buckets (and sanshikidan, but you could get those in a few hours), people were clearing with full level 1-10 fleets if I remember. The only thing you truly needed to prepare in were buckets to keep the boss health down before it could regenerate. The all-yasen map was probably the most luck based thing the devs ever made, so the idea of being "prepared" for it is fairly invalid compared to how nowadays you need a balanced fleet with leveled ships. Sure, you could clear Fall's E-4 in like 10 tries as you could with any map this event given enough luck, but I doubt many people are clearing any maps this event with barely kai'd ships. You actually need a somewhat diverse fleet, with proper equipment for LoS, AS, etc, so if anything events nowadays are much harder to get in to for new players. The branching rules nowadays are more complex, though not completely random like they used to, which requires more planning and preparation for the new player.

>>13046519
The wiki is shit.
No-one in his right mind should depend on it.

>>13046521
Flashlight on flag means more chances for your other ships to protect that flag. Not really good if your clutch moved in to block the shot meant for your flag.

>>13046521
It depends. The better to be on the last is the one you know will do some good damage at night battles.

>>13046524
Funny, when the wiki was born here. I was there, I witnessed it. It was decent at first. I don't know what the fuck happened now like where did the retards who made it shit come from?

>>13046521
Never put it on your flagship.
I failed my first few runs because flagship protection kicked in and ruined my torpedo monsters. Put it on your most useless ship, either the CL or the BB. I recommend second slot.

>>13046521
Always flagship, unless it's a night battle node.

I just got akashi from the event and I'm real worried about interrupting her repairs since I read this line from the wiki:

"Example of repair interruption : Entering the main menu page from other pages"

What the hell does that mean? I can't go to the main menu at all?

Did I read that right? Is it DMM Sale now?

>>13046533
If you disrupt the repair, the timer is reset and you have to repay a certain cost. Just leave it when you're logging off, most people do that. Better still if you level up your Akashi so other players could benefit.

>>13046530
Maybe cause the information passed very slowly and by the time it reached there it is already third hand information. It took them like a day to update the info about nakachan route and akashi/Goya route.

>>13046532
Because night battle nodes have different targeting, right, anon?
You smoked some bad stuff today.

>>13046538
I mean does the simple act of browsing from menu to menu reset the timer and interrupt her repairs? Because that would be pretty fucking stupid if it's true. I'm not even changing ships or sortieing or anything.

>>13046538
Ha, all I leave in my fleet is a level 1 Mutsuki. No way I'd level up Akashi if I ever get her..

>>13046541
I doubt the main contributors browse here or jpwikis. They usually just stick with their himeuta forums. Only thing I wish is to disable the comments on articles on the wiki. Some gaming wikis had theirs disabled except for news articles.

>>13046549
Could be. I never really look deep into it as I always leave her when I go to sleep.

>>13046550
Whatever makes you happy anon.

>>13046549
Just treat Akashi as having 4free repair bath tub when you sleep.

>>13046553
Original contributors come from here though until it got too much.

>>13046562
When will the kancolle wiki add music, manga and other fan stuff like the touhou wiki?

>>13046561
It's not free though. It costs just as much as docking.

someone make a new thread

>>13046587
free as in you didn't have to shell out real money for slots

Any good chances at 401/Unryuu grinding at E-4 hard?

>>13046593
Buying more repair docks is a pretty dumb idea to begin with. The only thing even remotely worth spending any money on is increasing the maximum number of ships you can own.

>>13046609
You are probably the dumbest person in this thread.

>>13046609
Only if you have a ton of buckets stored up. I'm fairly new and have no stockpile of resources or buckets. The only reason I've been able to get to E-5 so quickly is because I only use buckets on things with a repair time greater than 3-4 hours. Everything else goes in one my four repair docks.

>>13046586
did you farm a specific map for Asashimo?
After doing 20 runs in E4, I'm trying E5 but both are just horrible maps to grind for a mere DD.

>>13046611
Wow you sure showed me!

>>13046631
Additional docks are extremely useful since the very beginning of game and continue to be useful forever unless you're spamming ex2 all the time.

>>13046636
But Mooom I don't have 20 dollars.

>>13046640
More like $17 with the current conversion rate.

>>13046643
Isn't a sale going on right now? So it's even less than that.

>>13046609
repair docks is the most efficient thing to purchase because even if you have more ship slots without a means to sustain them your injured ship count will grow due to a bottleneck created by limited slots and bucket count, up until you hit the point where you don't need to do any maps besides the events, allowing you to stockpile hundreds of buckets. Having more repair slots makes maintaining your fleet more efficient, meaning less need for buckets outside of events and more efficient rotations during events.

For DDs is it better to gear them up for the torpedo 150% x2 cutin, or the 125% double attack cut in?

>>13046650
is it yukikaze, shigure, ayanami, or hatsushimo? If yes torpedo. if no double attack or aa cut-in

I am extremely tempted to switch back to carrier task force for E5 final kill. Main fleet not doing its job and missing or doing scratch damage is extremely depressing. Especially when they never activate daytime cut-in or DA throughout despite AS.

>>13046644
I don't see this sale.

>>13046644
A sale?
Where?

>>13046663
>>13046665
I thought that newsletter was about a sale for DMM points,but I guess I was wrong.

Against high defense targets like BB water oni, is torpedo cut-in (2x 150%) or 3 main guns cut-in (200%) better?

>>13046667
Are you this idiot?
Post the newsletter if you can't read.

>>13046650
It's either a cut-in or a double attack.
As >>13046658 said - it depends on luck. 30 luck is quite reliable for cut-ins (2 or 3 torpedoes) in flagship position, 50-60 luck in any position. Ships with luck below 30 should perform double attacks to be reliable. It isn't a rule, though. Everything depends on the situation.

>>13046658
Poi and shigure. I'm thinking of swapping out Poi, she keeps getting crit to red nonstop.

Is there a way for the fleet command facility to choose which DD to send back? Or is it really just random?

>>13046690
I prefer DAs on Poi, cut-in for Shigure. Shigure basically never fails to cut-in with all yasen placebo gear active.

>>13046691
Isn't it from top to bottom?

AP Shells on BBs for E-2 or just double attack? BBs aren't kai2'd yet.

>>13046703
You don't even need Kai Ni for 4 slots. What the fuck are you doing in E-2 without modernized BBs?

>>13046698
O-oh, okay.

>>13046690
poi should be double attack to take advantage of her stupidly high firepower

>>13046710
They are kai'd already,but not kai2'd yet. I read somewhere that AP Shells go best with kai2'd ships,though I can't confirm it yet.

>>13046718
APs go good with any BB, especially against high armor enemies like every boss in this event. Use them if you can.

>>13046718
It doesn't fucking matter if they're kai or kai2'ed. If you have 4 slots go for the hybrid DA+CI setup with your shell.

They don't seem to ever use the /a/ threads.

>>13046732
They are still translating our thread?

This should totally happen in the arcade version.

anyone have a formation recommendation for node J on E-4? I keep losing a ship to red, and I can't tell if its because of RNG or that i'm using the wrong battle formation.

I'm using the AA formation to try to limit the damage the two Wos can do, since line ahead doesn't seem to bring enough firepower to neutralize either of them.

>>13046678
Would be better if you used example of specific ship. Prinz Eugen with three +10 guns or torps has 189 night fp.
Gun cut-in is (308 (378 but it reaches cap, root of 78 is 8.sth) - (200 * (2/3 ÷ 4/3))) * 0.8 (ammo) = 37 ÷ 140
With crit it becomes 156 ÷ 263.
Now let's look at torpedo cut-in, 283 x2.
Normally it's 13 ÷ 120 for each of the hits.
Crits however make it 125 ÷ 232 for each of the hits.

98 S ranks (counting only nodes E, G and H), only 44 drops. Shitty ones, on top of that. What the fuck is wrong with E-5? The drop rates weren't THAT shit before.

>>13046767
I go diamond all the way for E4 and have no problem with it. Could be RNG. How many times and are they in chuuha when they reach J?

>>13046775
That also means it's possible for KTKM-sama to one shot BB Water Oni if you have even more luck than Yukikaze.

Where are the Japanese Guides with Katori?

>>13046780
very rarely one. On average its 1 borderline minor/full health, sometimes its 3 minor.

I just go line ahead for the first two nodes since I can blast through them incredibly easily.

Gangbangs

>>13046780
I am about to start E4, what spawns at J that I should be scared of?

>>13046798
miss

>>13046798
7

>>13046805
The wos. Other than that, the greatest threat is actually node H with the Ta. The reason for my infatuation with diamond formation in E4 is because E3's wos and nus scared the shit out of me.

>>13046793
Probably just RNG then.

>>13046806
>>13046813
Sure

>>13046819
miss miss miss scratch scratch scratch

>>13046819
Twist:
She actually has a damecon equipped this time around.

>>13046805
there's two Wos and a I thinka Ri class. They're not super difficult, but just barely enough that if the RNG swings the wrong way you'll get a couple of ships into orange/red, even more so if you try to take them out offensively.

I can't, i came here to ask because i'm pre boss node and the only red one is my second flag ship.

>>13047190
Highly unlikely. I started and finished E-3 with a level 1 Naka in escort fleet flag, and she didn't sink despite proceeding after red and getting hit multiple times.

>>13047203
Then what if i put a sub to tank shitty DDs and CLs on second fleet flagship?

Does Taigei really drop from E-1? Would I have better luck on 2-4?

>>13047223
She drops on E-1, i don't know if easy or not, but she does. E-1 is way cheaper than 2-4.

If you're on E-5, that's what most people did.

>>13047240
Yes, but she will never cut-in an installation type enemy with torpedoes equipped nor it will raise the damage of the single attack that will happen instead.

>>13047254
Well fuck, i'll try it on my next run. I'm just on my third kill and today i could only reach it once and not even killed it because reds on second fleet. I think i'll still equip it a repair goddess because i love my subs.

>>13047270
There are so few enemies that can heavily damage your sub that I doubt she'll even reach red. My Shioi didn't hit red a single time. Just go with double torp for that extra damage and yasen cut-in.

still go boss

I'm confused, are the Kongou sisters BB's or a completely different class of their own? (FBB).

Fucking wiki man.

At the very least, they aren't given a special designation like BBVs, CLTs and CAVs are; they have the battleship icon.

>>13047344
They are still BBs.

Understood, I was just confused reading the E2 recommended set ups, they designated them as FBB's but when I look at the ship class they are still under the BB class...

FBB is just shorter for fast BB, they are still BB however they may get different branching rules which is why people specify it.
