Should I consider clearing 3-5? I mean I already have a blueprint and will use it for my ever helpful Fusou.Also, I am leveling my other girls as well.

>>13262453
There're several more good Kai2 that require blueprint (Choukai, Tone, Chikuma, ...) so you'd better start farming those medals.

fuck off

>>13262465
>>no general
>>no /kcg/
Implying that's a bad thing.
You must be the same guy saying this should move to /vg/

>>13262460
I am also leveling Tone but my fuel is below 5k and I don't want to stress myself more.

>>13262465
>Getting butthurt because it's not one of his shitty threads.

>>13262470
I you think you're not ready for it yet then just ignore that for now.

>>13262465
Go to the /vg/ thread if you want /kcg/.

>>13262470
If you're not low ignore it, 3-5 is too luck based. No matter which route you take you can get fucked in the ass by RNG.

>>13262474
>you think you're not ready for it
Thanks.I'll just focus on leveling my girls.

>>13262478
Well, RNG fucked me in the ass when I was trying to clear 4-4.

>>13262478
>If you're not low
If you're that low*

So bets on what stat Murakumo kai2 will specialise in?

What are your expectations for the sprite?

>>13262438
>along with non-German foreign BB
It's Italian BB according to Twitter.
>今月四月下旬以降に、「艦これ」春イベント2015：期間限定海域を開催すべく、現在準備を進めています。同春イベ期間限定海域では、「イタリア生まれの艦娘」を含む複数の新艦娘を実装する予定です。お楽しみに！

>>13262465
You mad fag? Stop stalking the us and go back to your containment board.

>>13262488
She probably will just get Hatsuharu kai 2 tier stat.
At least I hope the new sprite will be as good as her valentine one. Though since this artist's works are completely hit or miss I aren't keeping my hope up.

>>13262465
That faggot who kept trying to push his /kcg/ threads finally snapped

>>13262465
Come here
>>>/vg/99074401

>>13262540
And now he's samefagging himself. Absolutely pathetic.

>>13262558
I'm pretty sure almost every post in the /vg/ threads is also him with proxies.

>>13262521
I just hope they do something with her sword.

>>13262642
It's a spear.

What's the quickest way to get Sendai to her Kai2?

Currently got her at 48 and am grinding 1-5 but is there a quicker way? I don't feel like 3-2 A is really reliable for grinding since 1-5 is quicker and more efficient in the long run.

>>13262697
4-3

>>13262697
If you're still below level 80 keep doing 1-5.

>>13262488
>What are your expectations for the sprite?

As long as they don't ruin the floats, I'm fine.

the things on murakumos shins make her look like a battletoad

just sayin

>>13262715
Seeing what happened to Hatsuharu, I am more worried about her pantyhose.

>>13262762

Just believe.

Got this semen demon from 2-5 hot damn.

>>13262793
Goddamn voice mismatch though.

>>13262793
To bad she isn't sadist or yandere but still best DD

Should I upgrade my SS to Submarine Tenders for Orel farming and tanking exp runs?

>>13262939
>SS to AS
What

>>13262939
Taigei is the only one Submarine Tender. To answer your question, upgrade one set of subs and leave rest as SS if you plan to subslave.

>>13262944
>>13262946

My apologies, I confused the terms. I was referring to the subs that upgrade into SSV. So, let them stay SS for just tanking, upgrade when they are supposed to kill stuff by themselves (like Orel)?

>>13262793
>tfw I have Naganami and Makigumo but I still don't have her
What is the best place to get her? 2-5?

>>13262972
If you want maximum efficiency don't remodel them, but if you don't care just do it since the difference is not that big and you can keep using subs until they're in red and then bucket them

>>13262975
Just don't think about getting her, she'll come to you.

>>13262980
This is true unless you plan to use subs in higher lvl maps with the cut-in.

Ideally you want to teams of subs though, one remodlled and one at base.

>>13262697
I wish I grinded her at 1-5 when my hq lvl was still under 80, but then I remember how grinding killed my interest in many a game.

Would beating the next event on hard be possible for me? Have 320 buckets

I have around 20 level 70+ Kai ni's and level 30 level 60+. Bunch at level 50s and below. A nice mix of ship type, except for CA's (only 2), CL's (only 2) and CLT (only 1) that are level 60 or 70+.
Equips are decent, 4 ap shells, bunch of type 3s. 3x 46 cm guns, 5 reppu's, 4 shiden kai nis. Saiuns, Type 2 recons, standard night equips etc.
Probably forgetting to mention a few others

>>13263063

>level 30 level 60+
That was supposed to be 30x level 70+. I'm autistic as fuck

>>13263065
Holy fuck 30x level 60+

>>13263063
>2 CAs
>2 CLs

No.

Kitakami-sama complaining about how heavy her torpedoes are always makes my dick rock hard.

>>13263118
Calm down, Ooi.

So what was the reason you started playing this game?
I was attracted by Shimakaze clothes around fall 2013 and decided to give it a shot.

>>13263172
The prospect of achieving this.
But mostly Hibiki.

>>13263172
All the doujins and fanart.

>>13263172
Saw lots of Kongou fanart and liked her general artwork. That was around last December. Forgot about it for a while because I wasn't too interested and joining seemed to complicated so I waited a bit.

Joined during mid February earlier this year, still sad that I didn't give it a shot earlier.

Also, >>13263185

>>13263137
Futafag pls go

>>13263172
All the semen demons that kept popping up on sadpanda.

>>13263172
Google been flooded with shipgirls when I searched for actual warships, so I decided to see what the fuss is all about.

>>13263172
I always had interest in playing the game due to the harem prospects, but knowing of a potential marriage mechanic was what decided things.

Took me a while to join though; only got in early December 2013.

>>>/a/123400576

>>13263172
Was lured in by Shimakaze's design but in the end, I grow to love my starter DD.I joined around late January this year.

>>13263215
It doesn't matter what S2 will have. What matters is our game.

>>13263215
Great news

>>13263220
Still, best class is getting what it deserves. Let's hope Harusame appears too.

>>13263231
No one cared who she was till she took off her legs.

>>13263172
I don't really remember. I had heard about the game around april last year and after looking up what it actually was I decided to play a bit before the Midway event.

>>13263235
>Implying I didn't care about Harusame
She was my first event ship, so I cared about her before she went abyss.

>>13263235
This guy know what up

>>13263235
Fuck you.

>>13263172
Anime and boredom

>>13263285
So are we finally getting that Type Moon event once we get that Italian BB?

>>13263172
The rivalry with Touhou.
Now I'm hooked on both.
I thought KanColle was shit at first (the first few HQ levels really I nit-picked at random stuff), but then I genuinely started to like the games, the Kanmusu and the fanworks.

>>13263359
No.

>>13263359

Maybe? I have no idea right now.

>>13263172

The presence of the Kreigsmarine, Fumikane's involvement, me being a WW2 buff and wanting to try something new due to being bored of everything else I loved doing.

>>13263359
Sure.

What kind of low-effort team did this guy put together?

>>13263425
One time somebody failed to kill one sub, they must have forgotten to bring somebody that can actually attack them.

>>13263172
Porn.

I liked some of the designs, specifically Nagato, and decided I wanted to try the game.

Around that time Yamato was released, and that was around when I just unlocked LSC. One thing led to another and I frequently blew all my resources on LSC trying for a Yamato. Ended up getting a Kongou. Then ran out of dev materials and decided to take a break.

Now I'm back again, back for the Kongou's broken adorable engrish, and blowing all my resources on Yamato LSC again. Would be Bismarck but I don't have that available yet.

One day I'll get my Nagato.

>>13263172
Atago. But her art was so few at that time around Aug. 2013 plus the game quite obscure I just decided to try it out just for kicks. Got in on my first lottery at the same month at Truk.

>>13263172
Originally I was intrigued at the popularity of Kancolle. I saw images and stuff everywhere. To be honest, the popularity actually drove me away from it. (I know, I was a judgemental hipster faggot.) I figured that if they ever made an anime about it I'd give it a try. Once the anime started, I figured I'd actually learn what the game was and try to play it. Starting the anime and the game at the same time was really enjoyable. Also porn.

>>13263516
I also started the game along with the anime and it made desdiv 6's antics that much more enjoyable.

>>13263520
That was the only good episode. Desdiv6 a cute.

Do you play with the sound on /jp/? Personally, I have it off most of the time because the repetitive quotes can get a bit annoying. Still feel like a kuso for doing it.

>>13263527
I think it's unfair that only one of them has a kai ni.

>>13263536
Playing the game without the crit sfx is unsatisfying.

Is there any reason to use BBVs over BBs outside of being able to hit subs?

>>13263570

>tiny hands

>>13263579
Thanks!

>>13263580
I don't judge. I could probably fit her whole fist in my mouth and that's hot. Besides, her hands are normal sized in her damaged sprite. ...Not that I'd keep her that way or anything.

Fuck.I do not know who to Kai Ni first, Fusou or Kongou?.Fusou is 61 and was there to help me to clear E-2 last event while Kongou, I got her after the event.

>>13263599
Well, Fusou requires a blueprint.

>>13263606
I already have a blueprint.

>>13263599
Do you have a blueprint already?

>>13263599

Kongou is best girl and doesn't require a blueprint.

>>13263599
Is that even a question? Kongou a shit.

>>13263609
I'd rather go for one of the Tones first, but just follow your heart, anon.

You can't really keep a DD as your flagship/secretary can you? Eventually I'm going to have to find a battleship or carrier to take over her role, won't I?

What Kai Nis are you working on?

>>13263616
I will get Fusou her Kai Ni after sometime

>>13263624
>You can't really keep a DD as your flagship/secretary can you?
Are you fucking kidding me TTK? Some DDs make great waifus. No need for classism you kusolord.

>>13263627
Tone's my big project right now, just got my first blueprint yesterday and got her to Kai. I just need to get a good setup going for 3-2 grinding and I'll put a good amount of time into her. Working on Jintsuu and Haruna on the side.

>>13263627
Sendai, Maya, and Chiyoda. After them, probably Ushio and Shigure.

>>13263624
Your flagship/secretary will change over and over regardless of class so don't worry about it.

>>13263643
I also want to work on either Tone or Chikuma (Probably Tone) and Myoukou soon. I probably won't have another blueprint till after the event though.

>>13263629
Ayanami, Jintsu, Junyou & Ryuujou.The carriers comes last since I can level them fairly easily. Fubuki and Kongou too if I will have enough time.

>>13263633
I just feel bad relagating my favorite shipdaughter to support. Plus I don't get to hear her wonderful voice.

>>13263624
The Secretary ship is not necessary the fleet flagship (that changes from Map to Map), but the one you leave around to poke when you're not sortieing or just doing expeditions.

9 attempts for a hotel. Almost didn't do this LSC just now.

>>13263627
None at the moment because I need to get more fuel.
Tone, Haruna, and Sendai are next on the list though.

>>13263662
They should have a secretary item that works similarly to marriage. You'd only get one, but you could move it to different ships.

>>13263627
Choukai and Bismarck.

What ship should I feed Maruyus first.

>>13263682

your waifu, of course

>>13263627
Isuzu, Tone, Nachi

>>13263627
This past week I got Haruna, Kirishima, Tone, Naka, Myoukou, Fubuki. Haguro and Ashigara about 1-2 levels away. And some at Kai too.
Working on Nachoes, Maya, Ayanami, Murakumo and possibly Chitose depending on how much time I have.

>>13263676
It would be nice.

>>13263682
Kitakami and Ooi.

>no /kcg/

Took me so long to find this in the catalog.

>>13263674
Congratulations. I abandoned LSC after running my resources to zero since the event was announced.
Decided to work on what I have right now instead of chasing after a maybe.

The first three people who post their email address at least exactly three minutes after this post was created will receive a 4chan pass. Don't forget to post a picture of your favorite ship if you don't want to be disqualified.

Just finished monthly 1-5 and 2-5 for the medals, yet I didn't get a single ship drop from nodes through the sorties. What.

>>13263761
Ship slots full? Equipment slots full?

The upcoming event would be my first event ever and I've started stockpiling since last Saturday.

Do I still have a chance?

>>13263754
No candidate, the contest is cancelled.

>>13263770
Next time do it with a Kancolle account.

>>13263767
Natural regen is enough.

>>13263779

>mfw my natural regen cap is 7500, I have a measly 31 buckets, and I can't even clear 2-4

I don't think there's an Italian BB in my future.

>>13263766
I went full retard. My equipment slots were already full.
>>13263767
If the event has difficulty setting, maybe you could finish it in easy mode.

>>13263779

Yeah, about that, I'm only level 71(started out a couple of months ago.) Natural regen is out of the question for my Fuel, munitions and steel since it'll only go up to 18k. Been brute forcing my expeditions (i.e. sparkling my expedition fleet) to gain more and I've taken the dive in sending a fleet to do the 80hr expedition (they should be back sunday morning) so I can get the expedition 38 and 39 for more resource income.

Buckets are coming along well with the dailies. I had a bad luck with them in expedition 2 in the past few days.

>>13263783
If you're lucky they'll give the BB away as the first ship, with the rest of them being trophys. That's how the last event was, at least.

>>13262438
Also on twitter.
>また、この春はその前級や、別の特型駆逐艦娘の改二改装も予定しています。
>Furthermore, in Spring we have plans to implement Kai-2 modifications for [Murakumo's] previous class, as well as another Special-class DD girl.

We'll be getting another Special-class DD Kai-2 incoming aside from Murakumo.

>>13263792
>[Murakumo's] previous class
Mutsuki class?

>>13263627
I got Choukai on Friday and finished leveling Maya on Tuesday. Today I continued grinding Fubuki. I'm also working on Naka and Haruna, and after I finish with them I'll probably go for Ayanami, Jintsuu, Myoukou and Ashigara. I feel proud for managing to get a kai ni the same day it was implemented.

>>13263794
>Mutsuki class?
Correct. Nothing specific as to which one.

>>13263754
>>13263770
>>>/a/

New player here, why is everyone stockpiling a ton of resources for the event?

>>13263817
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Events

Should I care about the sub in 4-4 final kill?

>>13263817

Because an event will take a fucking toll on your resources.

Remember that sortie that cause your ships to go on the red (whether it be from the boss being a tough one or RNG fucking you in the ass) that forced you to retreat so you can refill, repair, and shit? Imagine that in a larger and pricier scale. We're talking throwing buckets upon buckets into your BBs or CVs to go along with the steel/munitions burn from countless repairs, getting your highest level ships to refill costing you a shitton of fuel and ammo. The bauxite that drains from all the planes that got wrecked.

An event will have tough encounters that will dial everything up to eleven. Your ships will not have a good time but with ample resources of fuel/munitions/steel/baux and buckets, you can get by. Just hope to god you're not one of the poor blokes who had RNG fuck him so hard, his metric shitton of resources that he stocked up turned to <10k cause all he wanted was Isokaze.

>>13263838
Not him but did you get Isokaze?

Just wondering, is there some special code that gives you awesome planes with Shoukaku?

2 Saiuns and 4 Ryuusei kai, and 1 Suisei kai in the past 6 days, just daily crafting.

>>13263845
Yes. But let me hide it in morse code, since I don't want too many people abusing it.
--. .. - --. ..- -..

>>13263838

Well, the good thing is that I know I'm no where near ready for the event, so no point in worrying about it. Still figuring things out at my own pace, so there's that too. Still having fun though, but just don't want to fret over that whole bit with it.

>>13263843

>>13263851
Events go on for a while to give extra time to prepare, and we don't know actually how hard it'll be on the lowest setting. Getting the battleship and clearing the whole event might be a nightmare, but early maps always come with good rewards. Even people who start during the event should be able to get something out of it.

>>13263850
I had to look it up.
I'm gitting there.

>>13263866
>Even people who start during the event should be able to get something out of it.

I just started, so I hope so. This game is way more entertaining than I had thought.

>>13263860
And this, kids, is a perfect example of a broken man.

>>13263551
BBV's are useful as cheap alternatives, or if you can get roughly 50 firepower from two main guns, you can have some extra air firepower while not sacrificing double attack.

The later will only come into play at second remodel with 46cm guns or better. The former is in play any time, Fusou for example, prior to remodeling only has 5 less attack than a Nagato, while being cheaper. Second remodel she has equal firepower to a Nagato while only 9 less armor. More expensive than non remodeled, but still cheaper in ammo.

>>13263866

HQ Lv. 7 and most of my Ships are level 9-15 at the moment so not too sure how much I can even do. Still at the point of reading through and understanding how to do basic things.

>>13263860
I'm sorry anon, you'll get her next time.
Hopefully.

>>13263838
>>13263860
Yon didn't deserve her anyway

>>13263838
how much was the metric shitton

>>13263890

Well, just take it slow and do it an your own pace. Don't get too excited and look for your first Battleship. I know people who got lucky as hell and got something like a Kongou without even clearing any of world 2 maps. As much a Kongou is nice that early, at that level, your resources will see a great rate of decrease over time if you primarily use her.

But by all means, do what you want but do it wisely. I was that Kongou user and while I learned my lesson, it still felt fucking good to have my first BB craft to be her.

>>13263906

less than an imperial shitton no doubt

>>13263907

Heck, I don't even know what point you can start making those, so I think I'll be fine.

>>13263907

I started a week ago and I'm using 3 Kongou class and my resources are nonexistent.

But nothing else hits hard enough to kill enemy BBs.

All I want from the event is Harusame. I don't know how rare she is, but she's the cutest ship in the whole game.

>>13263817
During events RNG can fuck you up pretty bad.

Last event I started with almost 300k on everything, so I decided to just have some fun and use my hotels whenever I could. I finished the event pretty quickly so I started to hunt for Asashimo, I was at 200k when I started.

After 3 days of grinding through different maps she finally dropped. I ended up the event with ~70k on almost all res except bauxite.

I don't regret it, not even a single bit.

>>13263921
Why you know she cute if you didn't have her?

>>13263912

You can do it as early as now if you have the resources. But a BB craft is 400/100/600/30 (that's fuel/ammo/steel/bauxite btw) and if you're starting out, you might not want to burn that much.

I suggest you get some expeditions going to unlock the first set since there are three expeditions a beginner like you would want to have (specifically #2, #5 and #6 since those three give you your income of resources from buckets, fuel/ammo/steel/baux) for your resource income. It's slow at first since you only have an extra fleet who can go to one of the expeditions but when you get the third and fourth fleets, you'll be swimming in resources in no time.

>>13263935

I have my second fleet unlocked and such, is it much further past that point that I can get the third and so on? Or is it something gated by HQ levels and such?

These are my current resources on what i should focus? i haven't unlocked 3rd fleet so i can only do 1 expedition at time.

>>13263956
>is it much further past that point that I can get the third and so on?

You need to get the Sendai sisters (Sendai, Jintsuu, and Naka) for the third fleet. It would appear as a quest. For the fourth, you need the entire Kongou sisters for that.

Prepare for last sister syndrome where you have all sisters except that one.

But yeah, I suggest you take a look at the Kancolle Wiki FAQ for more information. Should get you started with everything you need to know.

>>13263956
Check the Quest page on the wiki.

Who the fuck decided it was a good idea to put planes onto submarines. I'd rather they all upgrade into pure subs and not this aviation shit.

God damn I knew not keeping at least one Chiyoda for when I eventually have to do expedition 36 would end up biting me in the ass.

Complaining on /jp/ magic please work.

>>13263962
Fuel. Exp 5 is good, 21 as well if you can unlock it and have the drums.

>>13263964
I was lucky and got Sendai and Jintsuu early, so it looks like Naka's the one I'm chasing.

>>13263790
Nah, not happening, she will at least be E-3 reward.

>>13263984

Naka is fucking everywhere. I'm sure you'll get it eventually. Good thing on Sendai. That's the most common of the Sendai-class that people took a while in getting.

>>13263984

I got at least 20 Nakas before I got a Sendai.

>>13263976
You could just, you know, not put any planes on them?

>>13263907
Kongou is actually probably a really good pull early on.

She's arguably the most useful bb and she's very cheap to resupply. Just put her in as flagship and she'll rarely take a hit. She'd give you the firepower to cruise on through a lot of the early maps.

>>13263964
>>Prepare for last sister syndrome where you have all sisters except that one.
I had Kongou and Haruna for the longest time, then got Kirishima and Hiei back to back in crafting.

....while using a Yamato recipe.

>>13263935

Well, used that ratio you gave me and for the two I have going it gave me Haruna and Myoukou, so not a bad start and such. I'll have to read quite a bit more about this it seems, but thanks again for the response and such. I appreciate it.

>>13263990
>>13263994
Sendai was my second constructed ship. Hopefully I didn't use up all my luck with that!

>>13263997

>not having a 4th fleet that long enough that you can do a Yamato recipe by the time you got the last two

I'm sorry you had to go through that long wait, anon.

>>13263997

>mfw I only need Kirishima

DROOOOOOOOOOP

>>13264002

Well, this isn't a bad start. Went ahead and used my last bit to hurry Myoukou along and got this.

>>13264002
>>13264011

>I have going it gave me Haruna

Con-fucking-grats on that. I know it's all RNG but reading around, I've come across TTKs who say that Haruna is usually the last Kongou sister they needed and I've heard horror stories of people going months without her to complete the Kongou-class quest.

Then again, you might end up like this anon >>13263997

Time for monkey ears.

>>13263995
I mean they cost more and take longer to repair, with no real benefit. I'd rather they have more stats without changing ship class.

>>13264021

>>13263976
>Who the fuck decided it was a good idea to put planes onto submarines.

When you go to upgrading them, is that a prompt when you examine them, or does a separate/new menu pop up when you reach the required level?

What is the best choice for equipment improvement?

>>13263976
>>13264046
It makes sense historically--World War II subs have a pretty limited detection range and low speed, you have a huge advantage if you know your target's heading when you set course to intercept.

Seaplanes make even more sense for submarine cruisers like Shioi or Surcouf , since their guns outrange their torpedos. If I recall correctly, Surcouf's combat range doubles with seaplanes spotting, since it can bring its 20cm to bear. Shioi and Hachi obviously have less range with a 14cm, but they still outrange their torpedos

>>13264004
It's a lot longer than you would think from that post.

Haruna was from a Yamato recipe as well.

>>13264008
If you hate resources, do Yamato recipes. I got my Kirishima and Hiei from Musashi focus when the drop rate was increased, then pulled another Kirishima from the next Yamato focus I did.

>>13264022
But there is a benefit

>>13263997
I've got Kongou as my first BB. Haven't failed me even once since then.

>>13264056

The latter.

>>13264059
And launching planes from a sub is rad as heck.

>>13264070

Oh, okay then. Thanks for the response and such.

>>13264064

Same, my first craft and I got Kongou and considering I knew of her with all the fanart and shit prior to my entering into the game, it was a nice get for me. She ate my resources early on but it wasn't so bad. Helped me so much in the world 2 maps and even spearheaded the grueling 2-4 trek.

She and Hiyou are usually the ones who take me out of a fix. Seriously Hiyou Kai Ni fucking when?

>>13264059
Maximum range isn't really that important for submarines who are supposed to do sneak attacks anyway.

>>13264082
Actually, for me it was a BB recipe and I literally went "Please, be Kongou." Truly, she didn't fail me even back then.

today's daily crafting looked like it was going to suck until the last one. Makes up for everything else.

>>13264056
The button in the bottom right lights up which brings you to that menu

>>13264093

I'm still looking for the beaver. While doing the 250/30/200/30 craft, I've gotten 6-7 Shimakazes in the past month. At least I got Hacchan and Goya from it to complete my 4-girl sub crew for Orel farming.

Still, where the fuck are you Yukikaze?

>>13264100

Alrighty, thanks makes it a bit more clear. Thank you for the response.

>>13264100
>Lv 1
You should take your doggy for a walk sometime.

So how are your trophy DD collections going? How many Kagerous do you have? Do you think that this year will be the year of the Yuugumos as event rewards?

>>13264100
I am so jealous.

>>13264107
Wish I could trade you my beavers for your seals. All I've been fuckin getting is Yukikaze. I want a Shimakaze.

>>13264107
Remember to always do "okay, one last time" craft. That's how I got mine.

>>13264117
Oh god she's adorable.

>>13264107
I got Yukikaze pretty early on, like in my first week of playing. Shimakaze, on the other hand, decided to appear like a month ago while doing my dailies. She was literally the last ship that I could get from normal crafting that hadn't appeared.

>>13264121
Not him, but she was a pretty easy drop to get last event, on the easiest map of all to boot. You can probably get your own shire~ this event.

>>13264120
I would be surprised if they didn't start working on the a handful of Special-class still missing. Might even bring out the rest of the Akizukis and maybe introduce the first few Matsu-class.

Why is the target selection AI so terrible?

>hurr why would I attack the aircraft carrier when I can shoot the heavy cruiser that just attacked?

>>13263977

>God damn I knew not keeping at least one Chiyoda for when I eventually have to do expedition 36 would end up biting me in the ass

Fuck, really? I keep getting her so many times in CV crafts. I swear to god now that my desire factor is rising for an AV Chiyoda (I have a CVL one now) nets me something like a Hiryuu, I'll laugh my ass off. Still need to do 36 for the 38 and 39 expeditions.

>>13264140
I think that we will get the rest of the Special-class DDs when they add the sixth page on the library. Also, I'm not sure but I have a feeling that we will only get the nameships of the Akizuki and Matsu classes.

>>13264141
Stop thinking there is an AI behind target selection.

>>13264143
Marry her, she clearly wants you.

>>13264141
>>13264141
>Why is the target selection AI so terrible?
Prepare to be astounded, as you have not even scratched the surface.

>BBs waste their initial volley with small fry
>Every single torp equipped boat targets the half-dead DD instead of the semi-damanged BB
>CLT attack the same god damn enemy
I wouldn't be surprised if there is an in-game mechanic for targeting the devs put in just to troll people.

why is Atago a such a shotacon?

>>13264150
You are right. There certainly isn't anything remotely intelligent behind it.

>>13264159
It's literally random, like a great portion of the game if you haven't noticed already.

>>13264172
Really? Maybe next you are going to tell me that it's turn-based?

>>13264143
I never actually used a CV recipe but I got tons of her from doing 4-3, I just kept using her for +AA.

Are the first 3 nodes of 1-5 easy enough that I can do them at red face morale?

>>13264107
I got both Yukikaze and Shimakake in the same day, still no subs.

Fucking LSC, went all out with 4/7/7/2 20 got a lowsy Hiei.

>>13264082
This guy gets it. Hiyou has been helping me go through all the shit the game throws at me whenever I need a CVL. She seriously deserves a kai ni.

>>13264229
The desire sensor is too strong.

>>13264229
>lowsy

>>13264229

Hiei is cute so it's all ok.

Fucking LSC giving me fucking 4:20 ships when all I fucking want is fucking Bismarck. I might just give up on LSC till after the event now.

>>13264239
>>13264240
Hiei is shit, I already have one, left her at around level 10, only Kongou I've been working with is Kirishima, I don't need anything else.

>>13264247

Hiei is love, fuck you.

>>13264246
>muh Bismark
>muh FBB with torpedoes
Fuck Bismark, everyone is drolling over that overated piece of shit

>>13264247

Kirishima is worst Kongou.

>>13264252
I don't even want to fucking use her much, I'm just a completionist.

>>13264247
>>13264250

>>13264252
Looks like someone can't get their Biscuit

>>13264250
I have to admit, she makes pretty good modernization material, faggot.

>>13264255
Highest firepower stat aside, she's one of the very few reliable battleships I've got, always turns the tide of battle. Kongo herself wishes she could reach Kirishima's level of effectiveness.

>>13264252

She's cute and drawn by Fumikane, what's not to love?

What expeditions are good for getting a lot of every kind of resource? Right now I'm running 6 (Bauxite), 21 (Fuel, Ammo) and 37 (Steel, Ammo).

>Hiei vs Kirishima shitflinging

Anons pls, everyone knows Haruna is best Kongou.

>>13264120
Only those 3 and Urakaze, I have dex entries for all remaining trophies though.
I'm eagerly awaiting the age of Minekaze and Kamikaze as event rewards.

>>13264275
Aight, I'll give it a try. Thanks.

>>13264084
For commerce raiding it's quite helpful, especially given shells are quite a bit more plentiful than torpedos. In early WWI German u-boats would often just sink ships with the artillery gun after allowing the crew to evacuate on lifeboats

I-401 was planned to be involved in an assault on the Panama Canal, so bringing artillery and the means to spot for it was a perfectly valid reason.

>>13264282
Forgot image. Waiting out 5~8 hour repair times in attempt not to spent buckets for clearing it takes a heavy toll on my psyche.

>>13264288
Now I want a Panama Canal event for some reason.

>>13264288
WWI and WWII are very different conflicts. And the attack on the panama canal were supposed to be done with the bombs on the seaplanes, not the small gun.

What role does a high HQ level play in LSC drops?

>>13264300
>WWI and WWII are very different conflicts
Much of early WWII's sea battles and ship design (Bismarck's combat design, Prince of Wales' deployment, US battleship doctrine) were based on underlying assumptions gleaned from World War I. A pre-war submarine such as I-8 being built with guns that were of use to World War I subs is neither surprising nor unreasonable given all the submarine warfare that had gone on between 1918 and 1939.

>And the attack on the panama canal were supposed to be done with the bombs on the seaplanes, not the small gun.
Nothing says that the planes would be the sole participants, or that extenuating circumstances would not merit gun support.

>>13264276
Best kai ni too.

>>13264293
Maybe I'm too new, but why use buckets when you can just rotate in other ships to take the place of the ones getting repaired?

>>13264340
Because I'm using Konishi fleet.

>>13264276
Slut

>>13264276
She's alright.

>>13264293
You could've used actual destroyers instead of that shit if you wanted to save buckets.

>>13264364
>You could've used actual destroyers
Not him but fuck that.

>>13264369
This made me laugh anon, thanks.

>>13264369
please take better care of your boatdaughters

>>13264364
I scrapped most elites the moment I got their dex entry and the last remaining one, Shigure, was removed few weeks ago after I started maxing Asashio's luck. There's no meaning in keeping girls I'd never use.

>>13264402
>I scrapped most elites the moment I got their dex entry
The fuck were you doing, retard?

So that's where you guys went. Did you leave old thread too early or has my internet refused to update info about old one getting archived?

Type 94 Anti Air Fire Director. Level 70 is too far away. T91AAFD is reserve flagship.

>>13264411
He said that he wants to use his shipdaughters instead of the elites, and I respect that. Even so, grinding the girls just to get the dex entry is pretty stupid. If you're not gonna use them might as well save yourself the trouble of grinding.

2 red guns and zuiun. Replace the last slot with whatever you want, but usually it'll either be another Zuiun, sashiki, Akitsu Maru copter or an AP shell.

>>13264509
>That loadout

>>13264509
You should scrap 15.2cm on sight.

What do I put on low luck DDs?

>>13264531

muh cut-ins though

>>13264509
>15.2cm
Not that, that's for sure. They're useless, get rid of them.

>>13264533
Two guns and anything outside of gun/torpedo.

>>13264535
They're shit though. If you're addicted to the nice animation, craft yourself an AP Shell.

>>13264535
Get an AP shell, better cut-in during the day and DA in night is enough for BB(V)s.

>>13264535
You can cut-in with an AP shell, red gun or 15.5cm without using a useless piece of shit

>>13264524
I want to keep her safe and secure.

>>13264535
If you want cut-ins then 2red+APshell+Zuiun

>>13264543
You can't cut-in with red guns during day. Cut-in with 15.5 cm is just as shit as cut-in with 15.2 cm.

>>13264554
>You can't cut-in with red guns during day.

>>13264545
I can easily imagine the TTK above her sweating a lot, barely able to handle this overwhelming adorableness, doubting if he's worthy enough to soil her, indecisive, just looking at her with amazement.

>>13264557
3 red guns still result in double attack you cretin.

>>13264569
Why the hell would you take 3 red guns?

>>13263172
When I first noticed Ooyodo fanart, I liked her design. I didn't start playing immediately since I saw that she was event only, but finally got her in the Winter event.

>>13264573
But you always have Ooyodo, anon.

>>13264566
I want her to rub her feet on me until I impregnate her stocking covered toes.

So I kind of want to get into this ship girls thing. Who's the main character? Shimakaze? I always see her everywhere but I know I always saw Cirino everywhere and she turned out to not be the MC in Touhou.

>>13264569
That's why you take 2 red guns and an AP shell you idiot.

>>13264572
Are you capable of following the conversation longer than one post?

1) Fusou with two red guns, 15.2 and seaplane
2) Anon is told 15.2 is shit
3) he wants to maintain the cut-in
4) someone replies that AP Shell, red gun or 15.5cm can be used for cut-in - you can't cut-in with just one piece of equipment, rest are obviously seaplane and red gun(s) which are necessary for any day cut-in by default - in that case another red gun wouldn't result in cut-in.

>>13264592
Shimakaze is shit-tier. Cirno is stronger.

>>13264594
Read older posts you fucking retard.

>>13264592
>>>/a/

>>13264598
>4) someone replies that AP Shell, red gun or 15.5cm can be used for cut-in - you can't cut-in with just one piece of equipment, rest are obviously seaplane and red gun(s) which are necessary for any day cut-in by default - in that case another red gun wouldn't result in cut-in.
You're a fucking idiot who jumps to conclusions.

But I want her to risk her life for my sake for dramatic effect.

>>13264592
>Who's the main character?

Teitoku

Unlocking exp 21 was the best thing I've done all week, I don't know why I waited so long to do it. Now if I could just get the Kongos I would be set, but I don't have the resources to just LSC all the time.

>>13264606
No, you just can't write a coherent sentence and get mad when someone points it out.
>You can cut-in with an AP shell, red gun or 15.5cm without using a useless piece of shit
This is plain wrong. You're saying there are three options for cut-in - AP Shell, red gun or 15.5cm.

>>13264622
TTK will make peace by turning all the kanmusu into cum dumpsters!

>>13264592
The main character is the first ship you pick.
Remember pokemon? Yeah like that.
Don't anyone dare to forget or make vanish their first and only starter ship.

How are your veterans doing, /jp/? List the three oldest ships in each class and their levels. Make it 4 for CLs, CVs and DDs if you include Tatsuta, Akagi and your starter.

My Inazuma is still with me, and I hold her dearly for helping me get through the first worlds and 3-2, as well as a couple event maps. I'm eagerly waiting for her Kai Ni.

I didn't use any CAs at all until Fall 2014 when branching rules required me to.
I sent out a lv 23 unmodded Tone I think.(Bulges to have her survive.)

So I guess...they were all just seen as food to be eaten for the longest time ever before my short time with Tone showed me how incredible they can be.(The only non-carrier ship class outside of Battleships and Ooyodo/Yuubari to have 4 slots.)

I am pretty surprised that Tone was from that long ago. Must be because I liked her Kai ni art and actually used her a few times so she wasn't lv 1.(Ships above lv 1 tend to be safe from being scrapped or eaten.)

Having a build time as "Unbuildable" on the wiki means event-only, I assume?

>>13264811
....Do I want to ask about your starter ship?
She seems to be missing.

>>13264829
It means you can't build them.

Not necessary. It just means you can't build them.
Some/Most of them can be obtained from non-event drops.

>>13264838

Okay, it's confusing because I've found that some of the pages don't list where a particular ship might drop from, event or otherwise.

>>13264836
I used her as modernization material because I thought she had a boring personality and I regret it every day

>>13264894
Who was she? The one you thought was boring.

Could it be Inazuma?

Oh, I see. There's a single droplist page for all the ships. It's weird that the individual pages aren't standardized as some list drop locations and some do not.

>>13264897
What is that?

>>13264894
My fellow TTK can't be this kuso.

>>13264901
Yes it was Inazuma, She truly gets the worst admirals

>>13264908
I think this should stop, there's nothing special about the starters. If you like some DD more focus on her.

>>13264913
please take care of your first ship daughter, she is special

>>13264905
TTKs that recently fought your fleet.

Which CV recipe has given you the best results?

>>13264927
5-4, 3-3.

次回の「艦これ」全サーバ群共通メンテナンス＆アップデートは、来週【4/10(金曜日)】実施予定です。また、今月下旬から、春イベント2015：期間限定海域を展開予定です。同春イベでは、地中海での活躍を目指した主力艦級のイタリア艦娘も登場予定です。お楽しみに！

>>13264919
I do. >>13264715
I just don't agree starters have nearly quite as much meaning as people give them recently. I don't see anything wrong in using your starter as mod fodder if you don't find her interesting. You get dozens of similar girls in your first day of playing.

I've been doing 250/30/200/30 for subs for my dailies, and I think I've seen 5/6 Shimakazes so far with only 2 subs from crafts.

>>13264995
I hope we get Roma.

Accidentally pressed the sortie button to 3-5 with my DD team not resupplied. They are sparkled. Do I continue?

>>13264952
And here's the top 4 of each type by level. My favorite girls aren't necessarily my first girls.

>>13264949

I hope you don't need to have played forever to get anything cool.

>>13265046
You do.

>>13265032
>My favorite girls aren't necessarily my first girls.
No shit sherlock.

>>13265008
Will we get battleship Nero as the Type-Moon collab?

>>13265046
You can always get lucky.

>>13265012
decide for yourself ttk

>>13265012

God gave us the F5 key for a reason.

>>13265080
>>13265092
But they are sparkled. So I continued anyway and they got rekt as expected.

Lower fuel reduces evasion, so you canceled the sparkle buff out.

what a kuso

>no subs after doing 1-5 forever

I wouldn't care if I didn't need them for expeditions. Gating things behind RNG is honestly my only beef with this game. I don't care if ships have awful drop rates, I just don't want to be locked out of stuff because of it.

So, the office stuff is just cosmetic right?

I should buy something seasonal or something?

>>13265158
Everything is cosmetic besides the jukebox, which just changes the music when you feed it coins.

>>13265150
Craft them.

>>13265164
And the seasonal samplers that give you a temporary music change if you have the furniture up.

Do expeditions that require drums consume the drums? Or can I keep using the same ones?

>>13265209
>Do expeditions that require drums consume the drums?
No it's not.
