Event is so RNG heavy, I'm still here sparkling.

>>13049624
If it's RNG heavy then you shouldn't need sparkling.

What's with people thinking sinking ships is bad? It's just like scrapping them, something you do every day.
I wish they would at least go out with a bang, like a huge kamikaze attack. Their japanese spirits are clearly lacking.

>>13049690
I need sparkling to ease the pain.

I guess it's changed to Otaku Culture so as to not confuse generalfags into thinking they're welcome.

What if I scrap my Akashi kai and farm her again on maps where she drops only for those who don't have her yet?
Is this viable? I need them repair facilities.

>>13050142
Please do it for science

>>13050142
I imagine it won't work as you have her in your encyclopaedia already.

Fucking E-2, am I fucked without a CAV?

>>13050283
What difficulty?

>>13050283
You only really need a CAV for E-3, not E-2.

>>13050307
Normal, not high enough level for Hard.

>>13050334
I meant E-3, was stuck on E-2 because they kept missing the flagship.

>>13050341
I cleared E-2 and E-3 on normal just fine without CAV because the only one I had was a shitty lv10 unmodernised Mogami. It might be nice to have but its certainly doable without one.

>>13050142
I think most people would exploit and make a big fuss about it if that was true.

>>13050433
On the contrary, it would remain a secret exploit since the devs would fix it otherwise.

>>13050142
Theoretically it wouldn't be a problem, since there are people who don't heartlock ships and scrap important ones by accident.

Poor Yuu-chan.

Looks like the Indonesian reached E-5 now.
With so many kanmusu sunk as the sacrifice.

>>13051061
Well everyone kept yelling to fix it so I fixed it, now we can use the fixed one and everyone can be happy.

The Indonesian casualties have been compiled to some degree now.

Indonesia a shit.

>>13051089
Wait for the 23rd.

This thread's OP asked for deletion.
The request was based on the updated List of sunk ships.
The request was granted.

I posted it and I didnt ask for anything

Sure thing, anon.
Sure.

There was no need for a new thread to begin with.

>>13051587
The only explanation is that the one making these threads is the janitor so no one else is allowed to make a new thread even if the existing one is beyond shit and has shit like "Kantai collection General - /ksg/" and was made days before the old one expired

>>13051599
>There was no need for a new thread to begin with.
Agreed.
We are still below autosage limit. It could have served as a backup thread though.

>>13051599

The point is that both new threads should have been deleted instead of deleting the good one people were posting on and leaving the shit one that no one wanted to post on up

You could also check the catalog and post on the right thread instead of a dead thread

Again. Second fucking time in a row for E5.
Sparkled everything to 85, even done PvP to 90+.
First 2 nodes all perfect S, reach Yorktown avoiding maelstrom, and fucking Yorktown rapes Kaga.

Don't have a FCF equipped, as I need the last kill; but even if I did, I can't retreat the CV and lose AS anyway.
I go back with a 23hrs bucket kaga, and 2 ships with 3 hrs repair time.

Why the hell I can't clear this map?
Why, God, why?

>>13052046
But this is the right thread.

>>13052064

I had her slam dunk my Nagato from full green to red as well. You gotta clench your butt ultra tight to dodge her hits.

>>13052068

Suuuuuure

I hate my fleet, they're shit! they're useless group of shits!!
This is the 80th run just for the final kills and they have to go all derp on the fucking boss node.

I could have cleared this shit of a map weeks ago but no, lets go derp on the final kill. such shit.

>>13052149
>they're shit! they're useless group of shits!!
Just like you?

>>13052149
Why aren't you farming E4 rather than doing silly bakastupid E5?

>>13052150
Just like everyone and you too anon.

I'm going to burn the hospitals to satisfy my anger right now, it's no fun when i'm the only person feeling down here.

lets enjoy more suffering in this gay world.

>Why are you trying to complete the event?

The retardation of some people

>>13052165
What's in e-4?

>>13052171
But I completed it
The fleet reflects the admiral so if they're a "useless group of shits" then you must be worse since you raised them to be that "useless group of shits"

>>13052149
Are you the 60th guy from the last thread? Why haven't you killed yourself yet?

>>13052165
I'm sparkling like a madman, if this is not enough to clear E5 due to RNG, then I'm not fit for kancolle anymore.

>>13052149
Just do it on easy.

>96/100
damn it all
I can't even dump DDs yet because I haven't unlocked their composition quests

Another run and another shit happens.
Fuck this shit its over. I'll kill the puppy next dog as well.

>>13052209

How hard is E-4 compared to the others?

>>13052243
Not too bad compared to the first 3 maps.

And again and again and again... Fuck I hate my life.

I'll kill the next moving thing I see when I get out from the house.

>>13052293
Cause it's piss easy on easy.
I only need Unryuu for a quest, so I hope she still drops.

>>13052243
From my experience:

E5 > E2 > E4 > E3 > E1

>>13052322
I finished it on hard without support, but I couldn't S rank it at all. I figure you can with support.

>>13052338
May I ask for your composition/loadouts? )'m kinda stuck there, not being able to fully kill the carrier hime.

>>13052386
Fusou/Yamashiro/Maikaze/Nowaki/Kaga/Taihou.
>>13051454

Fusou: 2 red, type 32 radar, Zuiun 12
Yamashiro: 2 red, type 32 radar, night recon
Maikaze/Nowaki: Akizuki gun, another green gun, type 13 radar Kai
Kaga: Ryuusei Kai, Reppuu 601, Reppuu Kai, Reppuu
Taihou: Reppuu 601, Tenzan 12 Tomonaga, Ryuusei 601, Saiun

For final kill I switched Maikaze's and Nowaki's setup to 2 quint torps + searchlight and 2 quint torps + star shell respectively.

>>13052304
>He cant clear it with that fleet
Just how shit do you have to be?

I just barely made it through E2 medium and it cost me like all my resources and a shit ton of attempts. Should I just try to finish the rest on easy? HQ 69

Anyone know of a good spot to level FBB's, or BB's in general?

>>13052590
5-4-A with BB flag.

>>13052467
Thanks for the info.

Do I have the ships for 2 & 3?
I managed to bully my way past E1 wit 2 CL because there was no way I could hit the los requirement for H>I. or is my time better spent farming E1 boss node drops?

>>13052739
woops forgot pic

Done E5. Took me four fucking hours to sparkle everything and shuffle equipment around, but I cleared the final form in one run. I got incredibly lucky at night with cutins and targeting.

Is it just me or do API tokens somehow lock the RNG in weird ways? Like consecutive dead end routes or some other?

>>13052810
You're just paranoid anon.

>>13052549
I found a stray cat today, I snapped its neck by twisting it then pulled its tail out but that somehow rip the butts off while the innards spew outs.

I then left the body at the middle of the highway so cars can crush it.

Now back to E5

Stacking Micro submarines definitely raises the torpedo stats but does it actually increase the power of the preemptive strike or is it just numeric placebo?

Sextuple torps when?

>>13052243
Harder than E-3 but easier than E-5.

lol

>>13052929
I'm not sure.

However, they don't count as torpedoes for night battle cut-ins, so there's no reason to stack them in the first place.

I don't even want to take her out

she fit so well

>>13052971
For Ooi/KTKM Kai it's worth it.

>>13049948
I see you Kwoth

/jp/ is a shithole and it hates Kantai

/vg/ has had 2610 Katawa Shoujo threads
TWO THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND TEN
I don't see why Kantai can't be on /vg/. It's a videogame and it's a general thread. There's Puzzle and Dragons and Love Live and shit. This is the best thread on /jp/ because it's the least like the rest of /jp/

>>13053057
wich ship wud u fuk

>People pushing the idea of moving KanColle threads to /vg/

I don't know where or when this idea started but all I have to say is, if you want to degrade the quality of discussion and create a community of cross-boarding vermin, go right ahead.

Literally nothing good ever came from /vg/, feel free to prove me wrong. Even /o/ keeps their vidya threads in their own board.

This is pretty much the best I have kitted with the best gear I have. Am I just too underleveled and underpowered to kill Wo Flagship Kai, or do I need to get some AP shells or cycle my fleet around?

>>13053134
>Am I just too underleveled and underpowered to kill Wo Flagship Kai

Definitely.

>>13053057
The instant you move it to /vg/, you'll expose it to a bunch of newfags that don't know the concept of "Google". The threads will then become full of people asking stuff like how to sign up, how does API work, can you translate this, etc. And there will probably be a group of people who will remain here rather than move to /vg/ so it's not like all other discussion will be of the same quality.

Meanwhile fuck E-3, eating my resources like no tomorrow.

>>13053139

What sucks is that I manage to kill everything except Wo every time I get to the boss node too. I could probably kill Wo too if that BB didn't draw all aggro from her

>>13053134
Difficulty?

>>13053161

Easy because I was like HQ 26 or 28 when I started

>>13053170
If you can get another CV or CVL it should be more than enough then.
I had way more problems with getting past the F node without Ru-class fucking my shit up than Wo.

THANK YOU BASED TAKAO

is weird how I never killed the boss until the last battle

>>13053187

Akagi is the only CV I have and my other CVLs are very low level. Adding Mutsu sends me to B, and getting past the BBs and twin CVLs without someone getting to red has been annoying, but Wo is fucking Sundowner. Everyone else is a meatshield and then you do scratch damage for the last two attacks of the run.

Torpedo Bombers or Dive Bombers?

>>13053230
Torpedo bombers.

me right now preparing for E4 farming after clearing E5 on hard.

>>13053306
Agano instead of Tenryuu.

>>13053308

What equips?

>>13053326
Just their kai stock equips, I managed to kill the boss every time so I didn't have much reason to switch them up.

>>13053355

I replaced Atago with Flightdeck Chest and sent her out with nothing but torpedo bombers and I got Wo to 33HP in night. Tenryuu got crit and was unable to shoot, then Hiei missed. I got a Hiei from the drop. Clearly I need to cover everyone in torpedo bombers

>>13053381
Atago was the one that got final kill for me with night battle cut-in.

How much does it matter having a Shiden kai2 compared to a Reppu?

>>13053765
I have 3 Reppus, 4 Shiden kai2, 1 Reppu 601 and 1 Type-21 (Skilled).

Is it enough to face down the Wo boss and CV Hime on Medium at most?

And you were supposed to be the lucky ship. How am I going to clear E4 with the south Yasen node wrecking me?

>>13053816
Don't use south route? Just an idea.

>>13053826
I was told that South route was easy modo. First battle is literally a joke, the second transport ship battle was even more so (save for the gold transport critting Poi that one time).

By the way, is AA cutin achievable without a fire director? I have no Akizuki and Fubuki is a long way from her second remodel

>>13053833
You were rused, then. The standard 2BB 2DD 2CV route is a lot more consistent when it comes to reaching and sinking the boss, if you use both supports and AA cut-in.

>>13053833
>By the way, is AA cutin achievable without a fire director? I have no Akizuki and Fubuki is a long way from her second remodel
Get a load of this guy.

>>13053765
>>13053776
Reppuu

This should be in the final kill range right?

>>13053892
Probably not, this was 2 kills for me.

>>13053921
Thanks. Gotta take a break from the event to do dailies for now then.

>>13053892
Yes, that is final kill.

Already beat E5, farming it for Asashimo now, but this was a pretty good run.

I wish they would revert back to the pre-final-sink formation.

How much FP do I need to achieve superiority in E4?

>>13053856
Any way to NOT eat the maelstorm?

>>13054008
You're talking about E4 right? I don't remember any maelstorm.

>>13053970

>>13054020
Well shit. Should I turn Akagi into another Reppu mule?

>>13054031
Depending on your planes. If I remember correctly, I was running the crane sisters with Reppu variants, a red, a blue and a saiun and I still get air parity.

>>13053936
Farming E5 hard boss node? I wouldn't wish that upon anyone. Good luck, its gonna cost you.

>>13054031
Where are your BBV Kai 2s?

>>13054008
Use slow ships.

>>13054052

>Yuudachi cutin
You mean DA? Because her luck isn't that good, if I remember correctly. Other than that, keep trying and try putting Shigure at the 4th position.

>>13054105
Put DA on Yuudachi. If you're doing cut in on Shigure, put her as flag and give her a searchlight. Your order of ships should be Shigure 2BB 2CV Poi, if the CVs can launch planes during shelling. If not, put those CVs last. Use both supports, and sparkle entire main fleet.

Well that's unfortunate. You sure your Yamato wasn't made in China?

>>13054431
readthewiki

Thanks Bisko, truly the best ship.

>>13054437
I have, I'm just asking for clarification if the AA gun is considered a secondary gun for this purpose.

>>13054444
10cm is considered a main while 12.7 (or one of them) is considered a secondary, purely AA (those that only boost AA) does not count. And yes, the wiki will mention it if AA machine guns are a factor to night battle.

Am I going to be a laughingstock if I can't get Asashimo before the maintenance? I have the luck of kuso sisters when it comes to drops.

>>13054444
Look at the equipment list.

>>13054460
It's ok, you still have like a week left if not more. And I spent 4 days trying to get her, so good luck.

>>13054460
No. I never got Hayashimo, Kiyoshimo or Asagumo, and I've never been a laughing stock.

>>13054460
If you become a laughing stock at that, then you're in good company. I can't be bothered to farm her, gotta start preparing for the next event already.

>>13054473
Now you are, you fucking scrub.

>>13054478
Is it that bad if I don't care for them at all?

>>13054474
You're going to be at 300k/3k months before the next event.

>>13054484
That's what I'm aiming for.

>>13054465
I only have Thursday night to Sat night of free time minus fatigue and drowsiness along the way. If RNG would be RNG until the end, then he will win for the first time.

>>13054460
My magic 8 ball says "Outlook not so good"

Fuck yes, finally, I got her farming E-1.

Is it normal to be doing E3 C node and missing and scratching everything that's not a crit?

>>13054494
Me too, I'm trying to get Taigei too

On combined fleet, do you guys do front facing fleet until the boss node then switch to battle, or just battle all the way?

>>13054532
Battle all day every day.

>>13054544
Fuck, I've been doing it wrong the whole time then. T-thanks wiki.

>>13054550
Anon, the hard truth is that during events, this board is the place to find wisdom and ease your way through pain. If you can't directly read nip on their boards.
Now, it isn't a Panacea, as I'm still suffering through E5, but at least it eases some pain.

>>13054453
>purely AA (those that only boost AA) does not count.
What about those which boost aim and firepower too? Like the 3.7cm flak gun?

>>13054576
>3.7cm flak gun
Not very sure about it wikiwiki seems to suggest it will affect your night battle attacks so it could be a primary or secondary.

>>13054568
I saved up for the last few days to do E2 and E3 today, just blew most of it on E3 with that formation strat, now I'm broke and will have to wait a week or something.

At least I got Nagato and Taigei along the way.

>>13052304
Just reorganize your fleet with another ship. It works for me

>>13053145
Jokes on you, those "newfags" actually get shit done and would fix the disastrous wiki we have now which makes people ask those questions in the first place.

Anons, I've a question:
If I equip a ship with more than 1 damecon, she'll only use one at any given time when she sinks, right?
So basically, more damecons, more chances to avoid sinking?

It's to ease my branching with an extremely low level ship.

>>13054441
And here's my setup. I'm just glad I was able to complete it with without hotels. I really believe in the accuracy build and moral > 79 for ALL ships now.

>>13054591
Yes. I used 2 damecons on Shoukaku back when I cleared spring 2014.

>>13054598
>moral > 79 for ALL ships now.
I really need some hard data for that. The only advantage is that >85 morale means sortieing more than once without stopping. How is it different from sortie->sparkle->sortie, etc.

>>13054598
Oh, a DA ktkm.
That's actually a rare sight, anon.

>>13054598
>51cm on Nagato
Damn son, you're in good standing in my book.

>>13054615
It's works better than trying to luck out a cut-in, right?

>>13054619
meant for >>13054607

>>13054606
I can't say for sure. I usually sparkled my ships to ~80-85. With that moral, that's about 3 sorties until some ships return to <50 moral. And out of those 3 sorties, most of the time it's the first sortie that my ships perform the best. I'm actually starting to think that the higher the moral, the better. In the end it's just pure speculation, but I'm gonna stick with this method and perhaps record next time.

>>13054607
My KTKM always chokes with cut-ins despite all the night gear activating. I gave up and went for DA and she starts wrecking shit for alot of damage. Ultimately, the one who dealt >300 damage to the boss was Bisko.

>>13054615
It was either her or Mutsu, since no hotels. But they were great nevertheless.

You don't need the recon planes for support expeditions, right?

The route for ADEGI on E-2 seems to require gimping your daytime firepower due to the known setup to get there so far. Has anyone managed that route with other setups that don't require 3 DDs?

>>13054729
Dude
Just do AFGI

Why is Kancolle so retarded that they must reset your progress just because you lost connection?

>>13054740
Because Japanese internet is so good they never lose connection.

Again.
Another missed E5 clear.
All perfect S rank, even encountered Yorktown BB formation.

Boss Support only kills one.
Night battle starts with only searchlight, no star shell no recon proc.
EVERYONE for the first time target the boss, ktkm, Shigure and beaver go cut-in.
The boss survives with 200 HP due to low damage cut-in.

7 days, if I can't clear this in 7 days for RNG cockblocking me, no more. Fuck this RNG.

AFGI nearly almost fucks my run every time.

Just spend a tiny bit more resources and saved yourself out of misery.

>>13054770
Have fun getting destroyed in yasen

>>13054780
Okay

So is there any actual report of anyone getting 2nd Akashi?

>>13054790
I've spend more time on E-1 than E-5 and still nothing

>>13054790
4Urakaze
2I-19
Uncountable Monkeys, Ise, Kusou and Kaga.
Nope no Akashi yet. I even try S ranking the preboss node still nothing.

So, DMM kancolle game doesn't make any profit; that means, the developers use this kind of shit RNG to force users to become whales, or are they just trying losing some potential costumers.

Because the RNG really is beyond comprehension.

Damn, I really wanted to get a U-511, but E-3 is way beyond my resources.

A little more than a week playing, please rate my fleet.

Also is there a good place to farm levels for Shigure/Ooi? 1-5 is not enough anymore.

>>13054790
Only on the wikia as far as I know, but a bunch of people got them.

>>13054805
What is merchandise.
What are license fees.
What ar-

>>13054805
They make their money through merchandises. The game is merely a marketing tool for the entire franchise.

>>13054598

Can this be used for chipping without sparkling everything? Or will the nodes along the way rape me too hard?

Final done with this damn event after being stuck on the final E5 sink since Day 3. My sparkles had started running out except on Flags and MVPs, and on the final run, I even had 4 ships hit to orange on the BB node. Yet somehow, my girls pulled through for me and Kitakami finishes the boss with a 313 damage crit for the sink. My brain exploded with the boss's HP bar.

>>13054811
3-2-A, 4-3, 4-1

>>13054818
That's one slugfest

>>13054814
Kancolle DMM game you fucking dimwit.
DMM game.
Not other franchise's merchandise.
Also DMM game's users.

Can you read english?

>>13054818
How many attempts for E-5 last kill?

It's been over half year now since last time Yuubari uploaded a stable version with horizontal mode.

>>13054826
KCV a shit

>>13054821
Thanks.
Seems like It'll take some time because I stopped the main missions to play the event. Still 2-2 onwards to finish.

>>13054826
Enjoy being stolen your credit card's details.

>>13054823
Pretty sure kancolle is not the only game DMM is surviving on. Pretty sure DMM is not even just dependent on their games to survive. The devs are under Kadokawa as well.

Besides, DMM already gets their cut when you buy points from them.

>>13054831
2-3 is a reasonable place to level. A bit risky though.

>>13054823
You think Kadokawa isn't paying DMM hosting and publishing fees you fucking dimwit? Probably quite generously, too, considering the popularity.
The game makes Kadokawa no money but Kadokawa gets money from merchandise. DMM doesn't actually host the game but embeds it on their page thus while they technically 'host' the game, they don't have server costs so they make a pretty good profit on just the fees Kadokawa pays them.
Spoiler: Kadokawa have the servers, they are the devs. They make the RNG. DMM has nothing to do with how the game plays you piece of shit.

It's a federal offense to be as retarded as you are.

>>13054825
I lost track after over 20 failures to reach boss and over 20 failed sink encounters. If I had to venture a guess, probably somewhere between 60-80 total runs from start to finish.

>>13054835
Oh look, it must be Dumbday.
The day the idiots arise from their holes.

You are not event trying, anon.
READ.
READ.
Who the fuck is talking about DMM getting money only through kancolle?

>>13054826
Logbook master race

>>13054846
You said something retarded and are now trying ad hominem to distract from your initial idiocy.

>>13054851
That's even worse.

Speaking of viewers, whatever happened to that Korean KCV that showed you the result of the batlle before going into yasen?

>>13054854
The game itself is working on a loss.
The RNG is shit.

If you could read, you would understand that the point has always been:
Does RNG in the game exists to force users to become whales?

Eat some goddamn fishes if your brain is in that sorry state, anon.

>>13054859
Says the idiot who asks something like that seriously.

I'll be laughing over there because if you weren't some ultra retarded newfag you'd know that you can't p2w in kancolle in a serious way.

>>13054858
>even worse
Logbook doesn't bloat the way KCV does, it eats up less space, it's not forcing you to use a shitty interface.

>>13054862
Streamers do P2W to clear events tho.

Desire sensor is real. They do come when you least expect it. Everything is daijoubu.

>>13054859
>Does RNG in the game exists to force users to become whales?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, have you even played a fucking Japanese mobage? Kancolle is considered to be a freemium friendly game for fuck's sake. To answer that question, yes and no. Yes, because it does have a small factor in making you pay for them. A huge 'no' because this is meant to be a casual browsing game, not a full blown hardcore tacticool game.

>the game itself is working on a loss
Their model has changed into one of being merchandise-driven because of how fucking money-friendly the game is compared to other japanese mobage.

>>13054866
Isn't it outdated though?

>>13054859
Please.
I can complete my kandex without in kancolle without paying a single cent.
You can't even do that with a game like PAD.
The most important commodity in Kancolle is time. I guess ship slot is important as well but these are 1time payment and not lottery gacha shit like other games.

>>13054867
You need to look up what P2W actually means and entails.
Because buying res when you run out on the first day because you RTA or rush the event, and could spend 2 weeks gathering shit and easily clear the event, does not constitute pay to win

>>13050094
Were you on easy? I've been grinding it nonstop

Next event on hard mode.

>>13054868
Where? E-5 boss? Hard? Final form?

>>13054878
Hating wallet to get an advantage does not constitute P2W?
Come on, they wouldn't even need to hate the wallet if not for RNG.

Baldie for example had to buy resources, after E5 RNG was fucking him hard.
Got first place too, if I'm not mistaken.

>>13054894
E-5 Hard boss. Still chipping. Got her on the second clean kill.

>>13054895
He had like 280 Mamiya and a shitton of damecon too.

>>13054900
Well alright then. It looks like one only has around 5 chance to get her.

>>13054895
Pay2Win constitutes that you are forced to pay to actually succeed. If an event was made to require 500,000 res and 50 repair goddesses, that would be pay 2 win. If they sold Golden 46cm cannons with +50 accuracy in the shop and buffed all enemies evasion by a ton, that would constitute pay to win.
The examples go on and so will this "lol being able to pay money to get an advantage is p2w kekekekekekehuehuehuehue" shitposting

>>13049598
what was the name of that Kancolle clone but with Sword dudes again?

How's your E-6 doing, TTKs?
Have you satisfied with the event, or you already gave up?

>>13054921
I'm doing E7 now: Marrying Murakumo before the event ends.

>>13054921
Done, she's about to be remodeled soon too.

>>13054921
Around 40 runs to E-4, only 7 S rank. Fuck this gay map.

>>13054921
E6 complete, just trying to get whale now at E1.

>>13054907
>Shitposting
Nowadays everything others say is shitposting.

Congratulations, anon.
Your self-entitlement maximus has downed 4chan.
Couldn't you have settled for having bruned some buildings in Ferguson?

Next time, go open a dictionary and find yourself some new words, as Newfag and Shitpost are becoming stale; expecially when used by cancer.

>>13054921
Event's final boss is RNG crap.
I'm still trying E5 last kill.

I'm glad that we chipped down a lot this run, but Yamato, can you NOT get rekt? Repair costs are literally tearing a hole in my already low resources.

Shigure, again, failed to proc her cut-in. I had her equipped with 2x 10cm HA + Searchlight.

>>13054921
I only have two days to get her. It's sink or swim.

How can i kill this tanky bitch

>>13054969
That's not how cut-ins work.

>>13054978
Try using cut-in setup.

>>13054980
Isn't it 2x main gun (which green 10cm is) + anything else? Shigure could've killed her if she had procced.

>>13054985

Scored earth tactics by Moot.

E-5 Recommended fleet composition and equipment?
So far I always get wrecked on Node E and always go to Maelstrom

>>13054780
Kumano clean-killed the boss at the start of yasen.

>>13055019
Add Katori or Akashi in first fleet or a sub in second fleet.

>>13055028
What's the advantage/disadvantage between Katori and Akashi?

>>13055041
Avoids maelstrom.

>>13055041
Katori is better in general if she's remodeled. She has better stats and can equip the fleet command facility.

But Akashi is for e-penis bragging rights, and in the end that's what really matters.

>>13055041
Akashi
- She's probably high level
Katori
- Can equip Fleet Command Facility
- She's most likely low level since you just got her.

How do I into E3?

Hime keeps bringing someone to red it's frustrating. I keep throwing 1BBV 2BB 1CAV 1CA 1DD at her but god is everyone missing all the time and my CA is practically deadweight.

It's fucking over. Took me 7 days and 40~50 sorties.

Last run for the night before my support fleet sparkles run out. It was the perfect setup and Ooi and KTKM delivers.

To think I was harboring thoughts of giving up just yesterday when people were posting about quitting and going easy mode.

Also got my 2nd Asashimo during the sortie when I S ranked node E.

>>13055056
Use the god comp.

E4 final form. Tell me about it.

In my second fleet, I can't put night scout to anywhere.
Should I remove searchlight or night flare from Ooyodo for night scout?

>>13055060
How do your ships not get damaged

>>13054978
Put 3x torps on every DD, and put them all at the bottom of the list.

>>13055067
yeah I fuggen hate that shit

>>13055071

by having luck like Yukikaze that is steal everyone elses luck.

>>13055065
I wish I had that choice, I just started recently and all I can really do is take a comp fron the wiki and put my best girls in there.

Being kuso is suffering.

Who will make the new thread?

>>13055075
Geez, it's as if CA Kai isn't bad enough. The destroyers shouldn't be a problem though.

capcha: hemad

>>13055075
Shoulda upgraded more

>>13055070
Night scout is the only night-battle equip I used.

It's always this node that kills me
Can't even reach the boss
Reached there once on the first kill without Katori and didn't go to the Maelstrom

>>13055060
Can you post your fleet setup and/or webm?

The main fleet had done a good job clearing scrubs and taiha'd the BB Himes.

>>13054921
Done with E6 and now I'm back to stockpile mode while casually leveling the new girls.

I fucking love Asashimo's voice, I kinda miss her pre-kai idle line, but her kai line was what drove me to not give up.

>>13054729
>>13054734
>ADEGI

Is E on E-2 confirmed to be a maelstrom node?

>>13055071
It was quite a common sight for me to have everyone in mint condition if support fleets did their job.

Is it possible to try to use Goya in E-2?

>>13055096
I wish she actually has hourlies voice.
Being the first Yuugumo without hourlies is kind of suck.

>>13055109
Why the fuck would you use a sub in E-2?

>>13055075
Oh boy this will be fun. Should I give up AS to make my CVs more useful?

>>13055126
AS actually make your CVs more useful

>>13055114
They'll probably add them after the event.

>>13055130
I'm not really feeling AS' effects when my CV's bomber wing consists of Ryuusei Kai x1 and Ju87C Kai x1.

>>13055126
nope, AS is the most important thing at boss.

if you have Akizuki at a decent level, use her instead of Shigure and give her AA cut-in and put her as flag, she managed to kill all of the Hime's planes once, making her unable to attack for the entire battle

>>13055052
What's to brag about akashi? I finished E-5 hard with her.

E4 is such a joke, should I level up my Naka just for the easy route?

>>13055161
Use south route only if you have both Maikaze and Nowaki, otherwise don't bother.

>>13055152
If I have Maya instead of Shigure would it be alright?

>>13055095
Fleet setup was nothing unusual.

Main fleet:
Musashi: 46cm, 38cm kai, type 0 obs, type 1 AP
Yamato: 51cm, 38cm kai, type 0 obs, type 1 AP
Yamashiro: proto 41cm x2, type 91 AP, zuiun 12
Fusou: proto 41cm x2, FuMO25, zuiun 12
Akashi: 10cm+director, type 13 air radar kai, damecon x2
Kaga: reppuu, reppuu 601, reppuu 601, saiun

Escort fleet:
Prinz: quint torp, quad torp, quad torp, night recon
Yuudachi: 12.7cm B kai ni x2, searchlight
Shigure: quint torp, quint torp, quad torp
Jintsuu: 20.3cm No.3 x2, flares
Ooi: mini sub, SKC34 20.3cm x2
Ktkm: mini sub, 20.3cm No.2 x2

One thing I noticed throughout all the runs; you having day contact and the enemy NOT having contact is especially important to a good day battle which directly impacts your night battle chances.

>>13055165
well you need 2 DDs to even sortie, so nope. if you don't have Akizuki, don't worry to much, it's still possible with what you have

>>13055164
What's the deal with that? Do they change the route at all?

>>13055175
1 DD with flashlight and being bait, the other with starshell and having torp cut-in? Then AACI Maya?

>>13055166
>you having day contact and the enemy NOT having contact

How do you make this happen in particular? Never heard of this, only making contact in general.

>>13055164

It is so hard to reach boss. I tried 2FBB2DD2CV and also 2FBB2DD1CLT1CV. I rarely reach boss because someone has to go into red everytime, and never complete kill the boss before even with support fleet.

Should I consider folder DDs?

>>13055193

fodder*

>>13055183
Yes, they go south route too.
This is what I used:
>>13052467

>>13055193
Up to you, but you'll be a kuso.

Just try to use 2 BB(V) 2 DD 2 CV in your fleet composition, no matter the route.

>>13055185
i wouldn't sacrifice a BB for a CA, since you need the firepower to sink the ru kai or else she'll tear you apart. if you're using poi, make her DA instead of cut-in, and let Shigure have cut-in + searchlight.

you can always try Maya AA cut-in for yourself and see what happens, but i never tried using her for AA cut-in myself so i can't say how effective it will be here.

Do not feed the bears.

>>13055190
Unfortunately, it is completely RNG.

>>13055201

Do I need to fill all plane slots with green plane for AS in boss node?

>>13055236
1 CV yes, 2 CV no.

>>13054921
I don't see the point of another trophy DD if she is such a pain in the ass to farm

>>13055223
Kuma please stop vandalizing Noshiro's name.

>>13055204
IMHO Maya hits 110-something AA stat. With _air_ radar thrown in that's a +7% to activation.

>>13055223
What is Noshiro doing with the kumas?

>>13055114
Wait what? No hourlies?
E-6 cancelled.

>>13055223
That admiral is beary amazing.

>>13055266
Yes, she has no hourlies but she has seasonal valentine line.
I have no idea what the devs were thinking.
Either they haven't finished recorded her hourlies and just pushed her out in time for the event, but I doubt that.

>>13055285
Well, the same seiyuu voices 3 out of the 4 new girls, and since 2 were rewards they probably were top priority.

>>13055264
See >>13055257

My Yukikaze cut in with 3 10cm and hit the boss. And it only deal 24 damages. I don''t even know anymore.

>>13055330
>using 3 guns cut-in
Please don't.

>>13055330
>3 10cm

>>13055330
>3 10cm
ayyy lmao

>>13055347
2 torps + radar, or 3 torps.

>>13055353

Giving Yukikaze torps?

>>13055358
Yes, you newfag.

>>13055358
>Giving Yukikaze torps?
I hope you're not seriously asking this.

I can't seem to finish those double flagship Rus at E-2-F fast enough. Any tips? 2 FBBs are just choking it.

>>13055358
high luck m8

>>13055360
>>13055364

Last event I was using 2 10cm and a radar. It was suggested here though. The guns are effective on her which is why I never really change that build until just now by adding another 10cm.

>>13055358
Yeah, give her the +12 midget subs if you can.
That's the best, I've heard.

>>13055341
Congratulations, you now have the cutest ship. Don't forget to give her the ring.

>>13055360
>>13055364
What? But she can't do double attacks with torps. Wouldn't it lower her damage?

>>13055380
See
>>13055376

Best tactic.

>>13055330
>10 centimeter torpedo
Oh wow, I didn't know torpedoes could be that small. You'll never finish a girl off with a tiny torpedo like that. Even baby destroyers coming out of the construction yard have bigger torpedoes.

Just for comparison, my Fubuki has a 61cm torpedo. That's about 24 inches, more than any girl can handle. She can tear bitches apart with that thing.

Sorry to break it to you, but your Yukikaze is just inadequate. Well, she shouldn't feel too bad, since she can still do expeditions just fine. But night battle, with a miniature weapon like that? The idea is just laughable. I wouldn't allow anything smaller than 53cm into my slots.

>>13055374
I highly suggest you read the wikia's combat page.

Is Ryuusei 601 a must-get or does it stop mattering late-game?

>>13055691
It depends, do you have at least one Reppu kai?

>>13055691
It's always useful. Not as vital as say, Reppu (601st), but if you have it it'll get used often.

Never Sparkle Club reporting in, all maps finished on hard mode.
It was a really shitty run but Kitakami delivered with a 366 crit as always, took me 2 tries to kill the final form.
Event total cost: 70k fuel, ~300 buckets

Anyone else in the club or you guys are really sparkling 12 (24?) ships for every single run?
I didn't do any PvP either since the event started to save fuel.

>>13055691
It's nice to have, but not really a big advantage

>>13055696
>>13055701
Reppuu

>>13055703
I didn't sparkle and finished without problems after I switched my monkeys for my hotels and used both supports.

how do I gain fuel

>>13055704
I tried using an all-torp loadout and the blogpost at the wikia is just about accurate. You can still have a shelling phase but the diveboming damage is significantly dropped when you use torp bombers to do it.

I also notice that divebombers are prone to being shot down in the opening phase compared to torpedo bombers that some how manage to get away. Double checked this and I have next to no bauxite losses.

>>13055719
Go to the corner gas station.

Looks like I was right to listen to Wo.

E1 - 4 done in only 10k resources and 30 buckets.

>>13055703
I only sparkled route support(full) and boss support flagship. Finished everything on nat.regen so I don't really know how many resources I spent, ~350 buckets.

>>13055730
thanks.

Is there somewhere I can see whats actually available in the in game shop? I want to waste money but want to know what im buying, instead of just a drawing of a bucket

>>13055720
Tests have shown that divers and torp bombers get shot down at the same rate, only bigger slots will have bigger losses and people tend to put divers on the smaller slots.
Besides, shelling damage should not be too different comparing RK with Suisei12A

All torps is probably bad since no AS

>>13055748
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Shop

>>13055753
Torp bomber stat is irrelevant to shelling. IIRC it's the shelling/divebomb base damage with Red-T penalty is how it's calculated.

>>13055756
Thanks. And im guessing price of 1000 equates to about 1000 yen, or?

>>13055767
1000 points for same amount in yen, yes.

>>13055766
Should be (firepower + torpedo) * 1.5 + divebombing * 2 + 55

Which turns Suisei12A to 20 and RK to 19.5


Unless that formula is outdated and wrong.

I can't reach to the air superiority calculator.

Also does Katori experience plus is infinite or does it stop after 6%?

>>13055786
It gets even bigger after lvl 150

>>13055808
Katori is pretty cool

My Murasame's at 98 from expeditions. Guess I kind of owe her a ring now.
