shit early thread with shit OP
kill yourself

I tried replacing all the 46 cm guns for accuracy, and the main fleet still can't kill wo and the cruisers at the boss. Their cutins still do nothing to the himes. Kitakami still doesn't hit the boss.

Newbie here.
How hard is E-2 compared to E-1? Finally cleared that after trying for a while, any tips/comps that make it easy? Thanks

>>13069993
E-5>E-2>E-4>E-3>E-1 in terms of difficulty.

>>13069993
ask here >>13060767

>>13070000
fuck off

>>13069993
E2 can be a pain, and if you just cleared E1 now you're probably not prepared, but trying will give you a preview of what you'll need to deal with in future events.

Which one of the Boat-bitches and Abyssal Murricans would make the best mom?

Well at least I know it ain't this Raiden-wannabe.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm24128984

Does Unryuu drop at E4 on easy? I forgot to reset the difficulty and cleared it. Now, after 20 successful runs, I'm losing hope.

Scrap your Kirishimas

>>13070853
Yes.

>>13070905
Fuck this shit. She should be farmable in other map then because S ranking 甲E4 is hard without Hotels.

>>13071058
You don't even need BBs to Srank E4

>>13071069
Sadly I don't have Nowaki, it's already a miracle I managed to grab Eugen in Fall.
Maybe I should use north route and run both supports?

>>13071084
You can use north route without hotels and do just fine, it's just more RNG than with hotels,

Hatsushimo - Bismarck - Nagato - Akiduki - Taihou - Kaga

Can reach boss most of the time, Get AS and even get an S without support expeditions, you can even swap Akiduki for Shigure for more damage

>>13070178
>Tenryuu
>not best mom
But all DDs love her.

I've been having problems with E3 final kill for the longest time... Has anyone done a 2CV (don't have strong enough CVL) run before? Trying to beat it using CEHK route.

Medium level. Is this the final kill yet?

Also been doing the chipping via south route (got Hamakaze this way) with CV-CL-CAV-3DD with boss support.

I was thinking of finally taking the middle route and go all-Reppu with 2CV 2FBB DD CLT.

But if I take the south route for the final kill, any advice for the setup? Should I remove the Saiun and replace it with the Type-2 Recon? My last chipping run didn't activate the flares, AACI, nor the night recon plane.

>>13071340
Pic related.

>>13071349
>Got a second Yuubari and a third Yayoi today
I don't know what to say.
Is it worth it to level them up only for their weapons?

Still here.
Still trying to kill E5 hard from Friday the 13th.
Still fucked by RNG.

I really shouldn't deserve all this crap.

New art never.

>>13071499
What? Their eq is common as fuck.

Come spring/summer event I'll post caps of Kuma killing bosses.

>>13071499
Wrong quote, bub.

>>13071661
Okay, I'll use mine.

>>13071599
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/12.7cm_High-angle_Mount

He probably means this. It's unique to two ships and it's unbuildable. Though it loses in the stats department to the more common 10cm and pretty much every other dual-purpose AA gun.

Finally, after getting four Tatsuta's. Her voice is already giving me an erection.

New TTK here (well 3 weeks new now), just did my first LSC, got Yamato.

Is that good?

>>13072172
Waste of resources that early on.

>>13072172
Not really. Nobody use Yamato unless it's super hard map which you won't be reaching anyway.

>>13072172
It is good because she's pretty strong, but it's bad early on the game because of her high consumption, max her stats and even a lvl 1 Yamato can be very useful.

If you want to level her up do it with pvp.

>>13072192
Well I had no chance to clear E5 before the end of the event (no more bucket...) so I used up the leftovers I had saved.

>>13072197
Ok, kinda sucks then. Around which HQ level should I start doing some more LSC and what ships should I am for? (Currently HQ66.)

>>13072222
Should've farmed for subs on E1. You'll regret not doing so quite soon.

>>13072224
I've done E1 (easy) like 100 times. Should I keep doing it? I got 4 subs right now: I-19 / I-168 (4 of them) / I-58 (5) and the event one).

I'm going to keep trying for I-8, E1 is the only map I can reliably farm. Not sure if it drops there in easy (if it does, drop rate must be abysmal.)

How come every time I get CV hime down to red my ships only do scratch damage?

>>13072315
All the damage you've done up to that point were scratch damages too. You need a crit to get through her armour.

>>13072315
You are implying you did more than scratch damage before getting her to red.

>>13068994
Woah, a proper new thread. Its all neat and not shit.

Am I dreaming? I haven't seen one in forever.

>>13072362
I, for one, welcome our new OP overlords.

That's a good picture, OP. Very cute and energetic.
I'm going to end up playing this some day, aren't I?

>>13072522
You should watch the anime, maybe you'll like it enough to give the game a try!

>>13072522
You are already 1.5years late to the party.
Might as well just ignore it completely.

Sweet, just got Errorgumo. I thought I had somehow run out of random drops.
Seriously, is it just me or is the drop rate abnormally low this event? I get a ship like once every eight (non-boss of course) nodes, usually it's more often than that.

Sorry for meta, but does anyone know why is there no KanColle thread on /a/ ? They got purged or what?

>>13072573
Because the previous one 404'd ten minutes ago after 800 posts, and nobody felt the need to immediately make a new one.

Apply yourself. https://archive.moe/a/

>>13072573
What?
>>>/a/121454843

>>13072573
You just had an 800 post thread get archived automatically

>>13072573
Oh you mean from the N/a/zi board how is it over there.

>>13072577
>>13072579
>>13072582
Okay I basically just got home and ran a quick search on the catalog and found nothing which was rather unusual. Nevermind then carry on.

>>13072584
I wouldn't know, I just lurk. Kancolle threads tend to be tame on /a/ though when compared to the rest of the board.

>>13072573
Holy shit, how new are you?

>>13072595
The question has been answered, settle down and take your pills.

Just finished E-4 have zero resources left.

Wanna do best run possible for E-5 but just started 2 weeks ago and don't have the ships I need.

gonna go with
1CAV 2FBB 3CV + 1CA 1CLT 1CL 3DD

My kitakami only has 2 slots and only have 1 CAV

gonna use Naka for pathing, or do I need to use someone else? who is better.

can only do 3 or so runs a day and wanna try finishing E-5

Only fancy equipment I have are 3 air radar from isuzu farm and 1 recon plane, and some 2 star fighters. So no AACI for me, all ships between lvl 20 and 40.

Any advice or things I need to improve for best performance?

>>13072603
Retards should never be allowed to live it down.

>>13072573
>>13072593
Are you the retard that keeps chaining the threads for no reason?

>Kancolle threads tend to be tame on /a/
You're full of shit and you know it

>>13072613
Good choice on going with kidoubutai for easy mode. It costs less. Use a FBB in your escort fleet in one of the DDs' stead, and use Katori instead of one of the CVs if you can still maintain AS with 2, if not, replace the CAV with Katori.

>>13072634
>Kancolle threads tend to be tame on /a/
>You're full of shit and you know it
if you say so, you are entitled to your opinion, and to answer your question, no, I don't know who you are talking about nor I intend to find out or discuss it further.

>>13072634
No, he's some idiot who doesn't even know how /a/ works and shat himself after seeing no thread of his favorite cartoon.

>>13072648
So when did you start browsing the /a/ threads? Today?

Because no one will believe you that the /a/ threads are "tame" with all the spam and speed shitposting that goes on there most of the time.

Keep calm and poke your secretaries.

>>13072656
I don't blame him. He probably only lurk Kancolle threads exclusively and they are like mini /jp/ compare to the rest of the board.

>>13072642
But going to C I will face BB and they really messed me up in E-3, isn't the south route easier since it doesn't have BB. I know there is a Maelstrom but no BB, if I'm lucky that is.

>>13072674
The Wo aren't any less scary and I don't think you're in the comfy position to throw away fuel either.

Because your high eva. escort fleet is going first, that combined with combined fleet's higher evasion rate, the BBs will almost always miss, and then you can soften them all up with closing torpedo.

>>13072663
KanColle threads are the only threads I browse for both /jp/ and /a/ boards, I wouldn't call them a 'mini' of something but they are alright and fun to partake in. It's a shame that today some users decided to post without taking their Aspergers meds first.

>>13072660
There's shitposting everywhere on 4chan anon.

>>13072695
>KanColle threads are the only threads I browse for both /jp/ and /a/ boards
Just go back to reddit, himeuta or whatever shit hole you came from. Retards like you that only come to the site to shitpost on these threads is whats killing them.

>>13072695
>There's shitposting everywhere on 4chan anon.
Only because of faggots like you who think it's okay to shit up the site. Fuck off.

>>13072701
allow me contribute this post to a discussion of high quality good sir

>>13072701
>>13072709

Take your fucking meds already you fucking faggots, jesus christ, stop trying to play the oldfag card by making a big fuss about my previous post.

Drop the meta and carry on with the god damn game discussion or be silent for heaven sakes. Hell why don't you just report it instead you mouth-breathing imbeciles?

>>13072722
Just because your post was extremely fucking stupid does not mean it was against the rules.

>>13072722
No. You fuck off and everything will be okay. We don't need arrogant retards like you.

>>13072549
Asking again since the other thread got archived.

I know you can get banned if you have multiple accounts, but playing on different machines should be safe, right?

>>13072726
>>13072728

Take your meds, no point dragging this further as I have no more say on this matter. We're done.

>>13072728
>We don't need arrogant retards
oh le irony

>>13072718
I have 0 Radars because I'm that kuso, I have the torps on them because I'm relying on the night CI's. Which don't do jackshit mind you, Except for the rare cases of overkill.

This event has been good to me.
Started last week and already got ooyodo and asagumo, i'm raping E-2 easy so i guess i can give E-3 a try friday.

>>13072722
>People call you out on your faggotry
>WAAAAAH TAKE YOUR FUCKING MEDS

You really dont belong here, just stick to shitting /a/ threads up with your faggotry.
I cant wait til you and all the other retards that came to the site for the anime decide that they're tired of the site and go back to reddit.

>>13072687
hmmm, oke I'll guess the double BB's are oke then because I also keep getting on shotted on me BB's by who chan, so it's kinda pick your poison.

Will replace a DD for FBB, and see whether to replace a CV or my CAV with Katori.

Thanks for help, will go to sleep now and you know. meditate for goodluck.

>>13072735
>Like yours are any better right?
My post was not rooted in fundamental ignorance.

>>13072734
You should be fine. I play on three different computers at home, one's a desktop and the other two are laptops. Never had a problem and DMM hasn't ever contacted or bugged me about it.

>>13072740
>You really dont belong here, just stick to shitting /a/ threads up with your faggotry.
No, he should get the fuck out of 4chan as a whole.

>>13072734
It should be, hell for all they know your little sister likes to play KanColle too, i don't think they would check for repeated IP addresses.

>>13072747
For literally what purpose

>>13072747
>>13072749
>>13072758

Thanks, I guess I was being too paranoid about getting banned.

>>13072743
One last thing, should I go Support expedition from the start, do both, or only boss or only nodes?
Or wait for final boss kill with that?

/jp/ is fun!

>>13072748
49+79+2*10 = 148 base damage. 2*222 with cut-in, not accounting for ammo (which is counted after penetrating the armor). Anyway, penetrates the armor. With crit deals significant damage. 2*159 with double attack, still capable of dealing damage and again, crits easily penetrate.
There are only four days left and he probably doesn't have much resources, getting Kai Ni is unlikely, not to mention you would have to modernize it.

What is a good option for getting buckets for a low level (18)? The wiki says they're "more abundant than you might expect" but I've had barely any. The repair times are kicking my ass right now.

I keep running expeditions but with the few I have available and only two fleets its limiting. I keep on top of my quests as well.

I've been playing for 5 days and I've cleared up to 2-2 and need a final run on the E-1 boss. I'd love to clear up to E-3, but I doubt I'll make it that far.

>>13072763
Don't worry about it, at most they'd be checking cookies and not IP adresses, else most of us playing without the proxy would have been banned by now.

>>13072785
Exp 2 and quests are the best source. Don't use buckets right now, you can wait 20 minutes until ships get repaired.

Hey doods, I just finished 1-5 for the first time and I got a medal. I looked at the sortie page for that mission but that isn't listed and I have no idea what it's called so I can't quite look for it anywhere else. What do the buttons do and what do I get if I use it? There's 2 options.

E2 boss node.

Anyone planning to play World of Warships? I watched some videos of it and I really want to play. Too bad it's probably not coming out anytime soon.

Just cleared E-5, lvl 99 w/ 447 buckets and 20k+ resources left.

>>13072966
I'd play only if someone makes a mod with all the ship models replaced by their respective kanmusu.

>>13072966
I played the last closed beta and it was pretty fun. Balance is kind of wonky currently but they're technically still in alpha.

>>13072966
World of Warships is really fun... if you troll around facebook you'll find a page that posts a shit ton of beta access keys.

Shigure why

>>13072966
CBT sometime soon, They've said that they did plan on partnering up with Kancolle and Arpeggio, but it's all talk and rumors right now.

>>13072972
That star.
Nice job, TTK.

>>13072975
Considering how many mods WoT has I imagine this will happen eventually.

Akashi, how?

>>13072975
There will probably be a voice mod for them, but I like how ships look.

I'll never understand how even when I achieve AS + AA cut-in against carriers, they can still hit my ships from full to red.

>>13072989
Flag always gets MVP.

>>13073017
Eventually you will have a ship with so much AA that when they do a cut-in, you see every plane they have fall and for the rest of the battle, their carriers do nothing. No planes, no attacks, nothing.

Also, AACI seems to lower the air superiority requirement.

>>13073019
I thought damage done > flagship when determining MVP.

>>13073021
>Eventually you will have a ship with so much AA that when they do a cut-in, you see every plane they have fall and for the rest of the battle
Not that anon but I must be doing something terribly wrong because sometimes I have like two CVs filled with reppus and I still cant take air superiority from a CVL

>>13073027
Not in combined yasen.

>>13073029
Air supremacy*
Not superiority, my bad

>>13072796

Thanks, at least I'm not missing something. I haven't been having luck with exp 2 and the repairs are getting upwards of 30-50 minutes now. I'm eager to move on as I wanted U-511 but I'm well aware that's not going to happen.

>>13073038
Don't worry. I only use buckets on stuff that needs several hours.

Easy E3 attempts, Day 2
Anything looks bad besides Haguro and Poi's lacking modernization? I swear if Poi forces me to retreat again, I'll cap her armor.

>>13073056
Jintsuu as flag is huge waste. This spot belongs to ship with cut-in.

Imagine if you could put a searchlight on a sub ww

E5 would be so easy wwww

>>13073065
Give her flare as well, that way you could give third torp to luck DD.

>>13073056
Shigure should be your second flagship.

>>13073063
Ok, I had her as flag because she has the lowest evasion (and usually gets wrecked with my poor luck).
>>13073083
Done.

I'm not really sure how to equip for E-4. I don't have any anti-air directors for AA cut-in.

>>13073141
http://kankoreshuukai.blog.jp/archives/E-4kouryaku201502.html

>>13073141
Don't need AACI, just full out line ahead 2FBB2DD2CV with torp cut-in setups and stacked reppuus.

>>13068994
Flaps.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRnclastqkA

>>13073147
>>13073156
I'll try these out and see how it goes.

Is E-4 harder than E-3?
I want to stop at E-4 since Amagi doesn't seem like she's worth the effort.

>>13073184
E-4 easy is super easy. It takes less than 3k fuel.

Best recipe to craft me some attack modernization fodder?

>>13073056
...And Haguro for the CI overkill
Fleet was barely touched until boss.
Final form time.

>>13073184
Slightly harder, I'd say. But still easier than E-2.

How much fuel and buckets should I need for E5 easy? No hotels or Bismarck or Nagatos.

>>13073194
>>13073238
Thanks, I want to take it easy and clear this event without relaying on luck too much.

>>13073244
>No hotels or Bismarck or Nagatos
Seriously? not even a Mutsu?

>>13073056
>all these high levelled ships

I swear,bein a collector makes this game a lot harder than it should be. I'm almost the same HQ lvl as you but most of my girls are just lvl 40~50 because I love so much of them that each one gets her turn to get levlled up. Makes now events like these much harder though when you only got less than a handful of Kai Nii ships.. orz

>>13073252
Lvl 1

>>13073203
Shimakaze pulls through.
Now for E4.

>>13073252
Level 94 Kongou but no Nagamon.

>>13073252
Realized that last post looked like I was hiding one.

>>13073300
>Red Radar Red Recon
>Red Red Recon Radar
>Red Radar Recon Red
>etc etc

Is this a secret code?

>>13073306

It almost forms a B. I wonder what that could mean, since he is doing easy mode.

>>13073291
I might not be able to finish this one.

>>13069359
Haruna's Kai Ni special snowflake 35.6 can do extra crit damage, try pairing those with a 41 or 46 cm.

So I leveled Shigure for E4 final, but I'm not sure how I should deal with fleet placement and equipment. Kaga's already full of fighters, should I do the same with Taihou and give her my searchlight to act as night battle bait?

Indonesian Teitoku did it again.
Based from his comment, he seems not regretted it. He also not equipping damecon either.

>>13073522
No one cares.

>>13073522
It was amusing the first time but we dont really need daily updates on facebook idiots sinking their ships

Can't you be anymore obnoxious retard who is desperate for attention? Do you really have to post this shit on /a/ and /jp/?

>>13073554
Yes.

>>13073554
601 Reppu, 601 Ryuusei, 601 Suisei (from Amagi) are all useful.
51 cm is a nice surprise, and the extra oomph is nice.
I wish Amagi's stats were more in line with Unryuu's, but her sprite's pretty, so whatever.
Yuu/Ro-chan should be cheaper to run than Imuya, but who am I to say no to a brown loli.

Overall, I'm content with the rewards.

Yeah, I guess I am stuck sparkling tomorrow for that.

Reposting from last thread where you guys said to screw E5 hard and take it easy.

Think I have a chance at medium? I know the "if you cant hard then just go eazy for amagi" but I don't mind a little more trouble for devmats.

o-or should I keep at hard?

>>13073934
There's no point in medium for E5. You need those screws that badly?

Go easy

>>13073934
Don't know why you'd suddenly chicken out of hard, get on with it.

>>13073934
If you still have any ounce of ego then do hard.
If you dont mind people laughing at you then do easy.
You have a fleet and resources capable of doing hard. It is up to you in the end.

>>13073934
The event isn't ending tomorrow; why are you chickening out?
Keep doing hard

>>13073934
What do you value more? Saving Amagi or getting a medal?

The fucking medal, to be honest

>>13074004
She's still at 50 and unmodernised now. The level worries me.

>>13074038
Are you on the final kill?
And do you have any other elite DDs?

>>13074043
Nope, halfway through chipping. Hibiki is actually level 87 but this one will not be Sovietized; I used to have a Shigure kai2 but now Poi is the only good one I got.

>>13074043
How often do you see someone miss during night battle? Just do it.

>>13074038
You won't make it with your gear and resources. You're getting made fun of right now by these excitable memelords. Remember this post

Why are you not using the DMM game general?
Kancolle is a DMM game and belongs there.

>>13074088

>>13074130
b8

>>13074130
Because I made the DMM general for DMM games that aren't kancolle and therefore don't need their own thread

Do I really need AS for the final E3 boss kill or is RNG just being annoying?

I've been at it probably 20 times now and the lost boss kill seems impossible.

>>13074138
Stop shitting up the board with more useless generals faglord.

>>13074159
>Do I really need AS for the final E3 boss kill or is RNG just being annoying?
Both. You can kill it with just Air Parity, but you're going to need a lot of luck. Getting AS makes things easier.

>>13074164
Stop shitting up the thread with more useless shitposting, faglord.

>>13074177
Someone's mad.
This is what you resort to when you get proven wrong?
Pathetic.

>>13074167
Ok. Hopefully 341 is enough.

Though half the time I'm just wrecked by BB-Hime before I get anywhere near close.

Darn. Complaining to /jp/ really works.

Thank you Yukikaze for not aiming as silly Wo.

I'm not even the first guy, I just wanted to join in.

>>13074206
Are you even old enough to post here?

>>13074112
I don't think I ever posted mine.

After 3 days of no progress with E5 hard final kill, I decided to sparkle my whole fleet.

Wish me luck /jp/

>>13074245
good luck

>>13074245
Good luck TTK. May the innumerable gods of Yamato guide you to victory.

>>13074230
very funny

I'm not going to just thank Ooi-chi since everyone hit the boss.

But I will masturbate to her furiously tonight for landing the killing blow.

That was simply beautiful. Air phase and exp finished nearly all fodder and my girls could finally focus on CV-hime, then in yasen Poi threw big fuck you, in form of 150 dmg DA, at her face.
Now I wonder, should I continue into E-5 given I don't have hard mode available due to level limitations or just farm E-1? I'm not sure I want Amagi that much.

>>13074245
I'm pretty sure you're saving those for the bonus boss on the next disc, and maybe they'll appreciate in value on the imaginary kancolle stock market and you'll sell them for a million fucking bauxite

No that won't happen. Use them

>>13074262
Very funny indeed.

>>13074276
we are not having any keks or lolz

>>13074245
May you be blessed by the goddess.

>>13074272
Where the hell are you half-assed TTKs coming from? If there's maps to be cleared, and if you have the resources and buckets, then you just do it. And then there's not wanting 601 Suisei. What the hell.

There is no 601 Suisei reward for clearing E-5

Anyone got a good ship for crafting AP ammo? Been trying for days with Musashi but nothing good came out of it

>>13074313

Your favorite BB.

>>13074319
But that's Musashi..

>>13074323

Then keep going.

>>13074313
You already get 2 Type1 AP shell for free. You dont really need that many AP shells.

>>13074331
Good thing Type 1 APs don't require anything to be upgraded, huh.

>>13074313
Give Kirishima or Hiei a try. Maybe the devs tweaked things a little with the AP upgrade implementation.

>>13074331
I only have 3 right now and I really wished I had another one when clearing E-5

Ships need more love. If they love you they skip the fodder and smash the boss.

>>13074357
Put one of kitaooi in flag
You always want your hardest hitter to actually get a shot off instead of her being in chuuha.
See >>13074237
You are already playing a roulette, dont expect to reach kitaooi with both of them in green health with water oni alone.

Is there any difference between E-5 G and I preboss nodes?

>>13074357
Keep Sparkling.
Took me a while too.

>>13074380
Probably not

>>13074357
That's actually not bad.
Hang in there, you can do it.

>>13074357
I spent two days grinding down that E-5 boss's health and when I decided it was time, I sparkled my first and second fleet, put a single sparkled ship as the flagship for both expedition fleets and had KTKM one-shot the boss. Glorious!

>>13074357
>>13074401
Also, I wouldn't use Ooyodo, she doesn't have enough firepower to get through the armor of anything there. If you're using her as your AA cut-in boat or Night Equipment boat, find a way to spread it out or put her in the 1st fleet. I wouldn't run anything with less than combined firepower and torpedo stat of at least 172 in double attack set up for the final battle.

Finally it is done. I can now proceed to farm for Asashimo since Isokaze already dropped for me before final form. Thank you KTKM-sama for the 410 damage crit.

I got into the lottery, but I'm only seeing a black screen. Does that mean I will finally have to update my potato OS to get a newer flash player?

>AA cut-ins and fire director came
>the event is all about AA cut-ins

>the new equipment is for night battle
Time for their hijinks again?

>>13074481
If you mean XP, it should work fine
In the chance that you're using an even older OS, shit man what are you doing, it's 2015

Has any anon farmed E5 Hard for Asashimo?
What's the drop rate there?

I gave up farming E2 because it was hard for me to get S rank at the boss node, surprisingly enough.
So I'm considering farming E5 stage for Asashimo then retreating just before the boss,
because I probably can't get S rank anyway and I'll spare myself of the repair bill.

Expedition 3 seems very good for raising admiral level.

>>13074495
I guess it's finally time to say goodbye, then.

>>13074481
>update my potato OS to get a newer flash player
Dude just download the newest flash player plugin for your browser. Or maybe it's just your internet.

>>13074527
>What's the drop rate there?
MyFleet reports similar drop rates (~1.5%) for node G and H and 0.8% for node E.
Node F reports 3.4% drop rates, but it only has low samples. Boss node doesn't drop Asashimo.

E-4 got a little silly. I'm sitting at 8k steel from my earlier today 15k steel on the last kill due to Wo critting for 60+ on my BBs and CVs. I'll probably be able to finish E-4 but E-5 is looking like a distant dream. Why did I decide to do hard mode?

I'm questioning whether wasting a million res in e-5 is worth a single trophy DD

>Asashimo aka best event character won't drop

And no, desire detector doesn't exist. Fuck you.

>>13074582
No.

>>13074584
Currently 107 sorties and no Asashimo.
She'll drop next event, on easier to grind maps. Hopefully.

>>13074584
>desire detector doesn't exist
That's what devs want you to think.

>>13074584
Don't leave her behind.

Alright I fucking quit 12 fucking hp on e-4. 3k steel left. How should i kill myself? Drowning seems fitting. This fucking blows

>>13073586
But Ro-chan is outright stronger than Imuya.

>>13073496
Modernize Kaga and Shigure. You should know that by now.

>>13074779
lower torp stat, lower hp
How exactly is that stronger?

>>13074793
The same torpedo stat. Lower HP is advantage because she repairs faster. At the same time she has 3 armor more and 18-19 evasion more so she gets hit to red far less often. Ro-chan has 44 luck as well. And she gives the best torpedo. Imuya is a scrub, Ro-chan is elite sub.

>>13074809
More like
>Imuya is a scrub, Ro-chan is elite scrub.

>>13074812
If you were to consider overall usefulness, Ro is easily the best sub. But yeah, her torpedo stat is a concern when it comes to fighting stronger enemies. Disposing of CLs in opening torpedo strike is hard for her, unlike Iku, Hachi, Goya and Shioi but during night she only loses to Goya. Many people don't realize this but Ro is actually a great sub. Of course she has shortcomings but offers more than enough to not be ignored.

>>13074819
>>13074809
Least Imuya isn't a slut

Cleared it on first try, on a fucking T disadvantage too.
Myoukou opened with a 150 cut-in, Poi Poi chipped in, Yukikaze finished her off. 1st 3 ships of my second fleet just all decided to ignore the two Dysons and near dead CA and focus on mama Dyson instead. So shocked I forgot where the prtsc button is.

Iron Bottom Sound trauma: officially conquered.
I love my girls so damn much.

>>13074829
Go away shitposter.

>>13074856
Where is Myoukou?

What's the best compo for farming E4 without LSC ships?

>>13074933
>>13073147

>>13074933
Fusou, Yamashiro, 2 DDs, Kaga, Hiryuu.

>>13074948
>no 2 BB (at least 1 is slow) Maikaze Nowaki 2 CV

>>13074948
Whoa, it doesn't require Reppuu Kai etc. Nice.

>>13074999
They're just examples of how you might choose a fleet and fit out your ships. The important thing is that you fulfil routing requirements and get air superiority at the boss node.

This shit happens every time I go down the A route. Sometimes knocking my girls into red.

>>13075054
Don't remember having any trouble at that node. I think I use double line though.

>>13075082
It wouldn't be much trouble if I weren't trying to farm Akashi. I'll try double line though.

>>13075054
>16hp Makigumo

>>13075091
I only have 7 DDs kai'd. I've started throwing in a level one if I'm just one DD from being able to run it. It doesn't effect my ability to kill the boss.

Which route is easier on E5? North or south?

>>13075110
Almost no one tried south.

>>13075110
From what I've heard. North if doing Hard and South if doing easy.

>>13075121
Are they nerf CV hime on easy?

>>13075117
I did try.

Back to the game after some months, is the night seaplane actually worth using or just a pointless placebo with like +0.1% crit rate?

>>13075126
I think you still get hit to red

>>13075151
its pointless placebo

>>13075151
That's +10% hit rate to you, sir, thank you very much.

>>13075151
The true mvp of E-5.

Newbie TTK here. To the anon who told me to quickly build up DD/CL fleet and any ASW equipment I could find and farm E1.

Thank You!

I have collected 7 unique BB:s, 6 CA, 2 CVL:s 1CV and 1 SS. The boss is a loot pinata, the ships are raining from the sky.

Started this event with 2 subs. I know have 5 subs and a whale. Fuck I love E-1. The only thing I still need is my first Akashi.

>>13075151
More crit chance is welcome when dealing with bosses and I'm not seeing many drawbacks in using it. You might have slightly less effective artillery spotting, but that doesn't really matter when your escort fleet is filled with light ships geared towards night battle.

>>13075224
I have been hunting for Iku for three months and now everyone easily gets her. Fuck my life. Maybe RNG-sama will be kind during today's E6.

>>13075229

イクまでやるの！

>>13075163
Did anybody test this properly?

The extra critical chance sounds like the best thing ever for bosses if it's at least 10%

What the fuck is this thing, some day cutin gear?

>>13075151
>>13075163
In my highly unscientific tests, everyone did fuckall damage when it wasn't up.

>>13075273
yasen placebo gear
might as well use a radar

>>13075273
Ooyodo and Ayanami?

>>13075286
Choukai.

>>13075286
Choukai and Ayanami, I think.

>>13075286
That's Choukai. Please don't forget about not-yet-kai-ni CAs.

So it doesn't actually do shit for criticals, amazing.

Still, +10% hit rate is sweet, thanks for the link.

>>13075296
Did he also test the overweight mechanics?

>realize my Jun'you is in the red...
>FUCK FUCK FUCK
>H-hey, hey now, I'm sinking? Really?

Kuso TTK status achieved! ;_;

Time to farm E-1 some more I guess.

>>13075320
1-1 tests are for casuals, he doesn't touch that shit.

>>13075291
But Ooyodo doesn't have her kaini either.

>>13075322
lol rekt

>>13075324
I'm pretty much another nips thoroughly tested that but can't remember who exactly. Did anyone bookmark the overweight tests? wikiwiki doesn't really has in depth data about that.

>>13075296
So it can trigger at air denial but not at parity? This makes zero sense.

If you're already punching things I recommend giving up.

Anyone else seem to get an inverse effect with sparkling?

I seem to get S ranks when I don't have it, and get sent home by node 2 every time I do.

>>13075449
That's only the feeling because you expect great results from sparkling and remember disappointments. If you made a log of the battles you would see that sparkle helps.

I've been farming 1-5 like a newfag, and now my HQ level is twice my ships' levels.

Is this going to be a problem?

>>13075533
No.

>>13075533
No.

>>13075533
No. Good luck clearing the EOs for your monthly medals now.

Why do certain English admirals use mixed cut-in? Is there any benefit or are they just dumb?

>>13075570
They're autistic. For the pathetic damage it does they're better of just going for double attacks which at least don't fail 40% of the time.

>>13075570
AA in day and cut-in at night.

>>13075544
>>13075545
>>13075563
So the only effect would be the difficulty of the EOs? Since the event difficulty can be chosen.

Well, I'll figure it out, thanks.

I sure hope we will never have a flagship re class.
Initial airstrike and torpedo just went full retard, more than what the CV oni could do in E-5 hard mode.

>>13074490
After summer 2014 E6 I'm more afraid of those late model DDs than these two whores.

>>13075677
Does route support activate on yasen nodes?
Just curious since I cleared 2014 Summer E-6 without route support, but just got to thinking about how much route support would have helped.

>>13075686
Nope it doesn't.

>>13075686
No, I tried it back then.

>>13075570
It really depends, I usually use AP since using a 15.5cm sucks, but if the map has a lot of small ships I just use radar instead.

>>13075669
This is why you go subs route with large torp bulges on Hotels.

>>13075750
I only have 2 large bulge at my disposal, so it isn't really enough.
The first and last time I tried, my subs got wrecked so badly it wasn't even funny.

What's the best Yahagi recipe for LSC?
I'm on attempt 92 with absolute no site of her. I'm starting to get desperate enough to try anything at this point.

>>13075789
Min recipe with 20 dev kits. Otherwise, if you are looking for yamato, her recipe can also yield her.

>>13075783
One per a hotel. And you sparkle the subs and roll full support. 1/3~2/3 boss reach rate.

>>13075803
So last slot for hotels are AP shells, right?
What about the third BB? Bisko with night plane, 2 46 and AP shell or something?
Since air advantage has nothing to do with the plane activation, seems it is best to keep it.

THANK YOU BASED OOICHI-SAMA

>>13075644
It used to matter, not anymore. It will result in slightly higher LOS requirements in maps that has it but that's all.

>>13075837
It's difference between 30% of getting fucked in 2-5 yasen or 50% chance of getting fucked in 2-5 yasen.

2 months of abuse paid off with deredere german waifu

>>13075829
Nice S rank. Welcome to the club.

>>13075828
I give her AP and FuMo. I'm pretty sure you still need 航空戦 to happen for the yatei.

>>13075868
Started the event with this much. Spammed Orel and expeditions in between days. RNG favors the bold, I guess.

What's the best way to get both fuel and ammo? Run expeditions with slight focus on ammo (2/5/21 or 5/21/37) and use that ammo for Orel?

>>13075854
2-5 yasen is joke anyway

>>13075937
Can't argue with that. I get to the boss ~80% of the time, didn't really notice the difference after HQ90.

Yukikaze keeps choking at night when I put 2 torp x flare on the setup.

Maybe I should just do a nighttime double attack setup?

Is it really normal also for the yasen recon plane to not trigger sometimes?

>>13075948
Which map? If you want to kill something with good armor, cut-in is the only answer.

Yes, it's normal.

>>13075948
Try 3 torps and give the flare to someone else.

>>13075948
>Maybe I should just do a nighttime double attack setup?
No.

>>13075948
Placebo but my Yukikaze stopped being crit magnet when I said fuck yasen gear and gave her three quints.

Is the world 4 weekly worth it?

>>13076066
Doing it with subs gives obscene amount of steel, doing it with DDs/CLs at 4-1 gives obscene amount of exp for them. CLs really shine at easy maps, best class by a huge margin for them.

>>13076088
Jintsuu is a fucking monster, double attacking a flagship TA for 160 damage.

>>13076088
What map would you run subs on?

>>13076094
4-2

>>13076094
4-2.

>>13076102
>>13076104
Thanks.
I think my subs will be happy to do something different for once

>>13076102
>>13076104
I seen people say this since forever, but wouldn't your subs get fucked up by all the flagship CLs?

>>13076093
And now she just finished off the CV Hime with over 60 damage.

>>13076115
Nope. With 6 subs now it's pretty much free pass on all nodes.

>>13076115
It happens sometimes.

>>13076115
Generally, they put your subs to chuuha only. Of course, there are times you get fucked up by green T or several double line / diamond nodes a row and you get taiha.

If you do something like 3-5 sorties per day, the weekly is done quite quickly. Just spread them on the week, don't waste buckets for mere bruteforce.

I finally beat E-2 after several days of no internet, but now I'm not sure what to expect for E-3, let alone who to bring. Support fleet is only DDs and CLs, right, or can I shove some CV(L)s in there too? Does combined fleet still have 3% hit rates?

>>13076158
Usually I avoid saying this, but read the wiki. Really, it has enough information to easily clear the map.

>Support fleet is only DDs and CLs
No.

>can I shove some CV(L)s in there too?
You shouldn't, focus on night battle.

This isn't Kiyoshimo.
E-2 hard node F for anyone farming for her.

Just came back to the game a couple days ago. I'm struggling at E-3 and had to take a break because I ran out of buckets from the battleship hime one shotting my ships in pre-boss node. I have really shitty leveled ships (HQ75) and had to use akitsumaru to fulfill the branching requirements of E-3.

Should I instead be trying to farm/level other ships to get a better composition/route?

>>13075984
In general, to whom should I put yasen gear on? Aside from not bothering to put it on CLs/DDs anymore.

>>13076182
Is there any reason to keep two Ooyodos?

>>13076216
I remember in the past event someone brought two of the same ship, one in each fleet one and two for combined fleet. Any other reason would probably be useless.

So, Tokitsukaze does indeed drop on E-1 easy.

>>13076182

OH YODA DESS?

>>13076229
Wait. You can sortie with a duplicate ship in your main and escort fleet?

This is getting ridiculous, I have spent more resources farming for Hatsukaze than i did to get the hard medal.

>>13076232
SHIREEE

Roughly three days left in the event and I have yet to get a single event-only ship.

Fuck RNG indefinitely.

>>13076251
...SHIREEEEEEEE

>>13076244
Well, maybe that's because this event has SHIT drop rates and farming anything but E-1 is a fucking torture.

And yes, I'm mad because my farming attempts were fruitless.

>>13076242
Yes but I haven't seen anyone do it this event yet, only prior ones. It should be easy to test though, just sending out dupes for one node.

>>13076242
Yes you can. There's no reason to actually do it though.

>>13076270
>I haven't seen anyone do it this event yet
Can't say it's unexpected since duplicates are quite disgusting.

Which is better for snail drop, 4-1 or 4-2?

>>13076285
LSC.

>>13076285
>snail
LSC
But do 4-2 with the weekly.

>>13076285
LSC Yamato recipe.

>>13076285
LSC non-Taihou recipe.

>>13076285
5-4

>>13076292
>3000 bauxite

It's going to take some time then.

>>13076297
So, min?

>>13076270
This guy did.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm25546822

>>13076300
Yamato requires 2000 bauxite. Yeah, min is the most effective but unless you're in love with her, it's better to try for Hotel at the same time.

>>13076302
>Everyone actually focused on the boss at night battle
What kind of fucking sorcery is this

How many subs do you use when farming 2-3?

Which one is the easiest route for E5? I am busy the whole week and now only start clearing it. I am a bit nervous that I can't even finish the event.

>>13076367
3

>>13076232
What node? How long have you been trying? I'm trying to get her and Akashi

>>13076285
Don't listen to these people being wrong, the best is actually 3-3A

>>13076066
Which one? The one for 4-4?

>>13076401
Thought so. Still training my DDs to be good enough to finish 3-2 though.

>>13076395
Boss, S-Rank.
Gave me an Akashi and a Whale before as well.

Akashi ios said to drop on both preboss nodes as well, according to wiki.

>>13076367
4 because I enjoy seeing letter S.

Think I can survive E-3?

>>13076367
4 subs. it's still fuel neutral and i only subslave to finish off dailies/weeklies rather than for resources

>>13076424
