>>13786237

I'm just waiting for another chance at obtaining my waifu

You don't understand the pain man.

>>13786248
I got her from an event

>>13786252
I do, but with Sendai-class light cruisers other than Naka.

>>13786257
But those can be crafted.

>>13786257
Oh man are you that one guy who can't get Sendais for the life of him?

I feel for you, took me ages to get Sendai or NAKA of all people. I got lots of Jintsuus then the naka drops became common

>>13786252
She doesn't love you.
Get a new waifu.

>>13786261
I've tried, and gotten every other kind of light cruiser, almost every kind of destroyer, and even heavy cruisers, but no Sendai-class.

>>13786265
My secondary shipfu is Shigure K2.
But she's part of the whaling operation.

>>13786264
I got a Naka, only once, and that's my only Sendai.

>>13786252
I've gotten 5 so far.

Do S rank boss drops still drop after clearing the bar? I want to farm for Amatsukaze but cleared 3-5 for my first time yesterday

Regarding the seasonal CGs, where do you guys view them after they are taken out? I cant find them in the albums.

>>13788140
The CGs are still active.

Kaga's song is not enka, it's just pop rock with traditional Japanese string and wind instruments.

Enka is in E minor, with a E-min, A-min, D-min, E-min chord transition. Otherwise, it's not enka.

This is Enka:

Kuso TTK who still uses the KancolleTool viewer here, has anyone else been getting errors about not being being able to load the ingame English translation?

>>13788417
I can't even load my api on a browser. I haven't played for weeks so i don't know if it's due to the recent flash blackout or dmm being shit.

>>13788417
>>13788425
Didnt the devs make a tweet bout changes to the API?

>>13788428
why the fuck would they tweet API changes, even using it is against the rules

they did tweet about cracking down on scripts and macros, that kind of counts

>>>13788428
Sad thing is that i'm trying to play via web but DMM is laggy as fuck.

>>13786473
Closed beta? WoWS was fucked before we even got to that point, before separate test servers were built. Wargaming is nothing more than a company of retards who got lucky with World of Tanks, and never understood what made it so popular to begin with.

Is it just me. Or is there new battle music?

>>13788818
Oh. Well if you keep cycling through them you will eventually get to the old seasonal CGs.

>>13789382
Ah thanks. Does the damaged CG saves if damaged in PVP?

>>13789565
No.

About what level should my ships be as I progress through the game? I've unlocked up to 3-2 but I feel that I wouldn't do very well past this point. How much more do I need to level my ships to make the game comfortably challenging?

Levels don't matter except for remodels.

I'm about to clear 3-5 for the first time with 1CL/5DD.
Since one of the nodes will now have a carrier, is it likely that my recon plane will be shot down?
I only just managed to reach the required LoS and without the plane I'll get sent to the dead end.

Kaga misaki

>>13792568
You could always go for the CL, CAV, 4DD setup, which will give you air parity at that node and air superiority at the boss.

With Dota 2 Custom Games having an actual launch and things like the Touhou ASSFAGGOTS being remade, can we expect a boat girls ASSFAGGOTS with playable Abyssals any time soon?

>>13792693

>>13792719

Most that DMM could maybe do it get it taken off of the Workshop, but you could still play it by downloading it and adding it from elsewhere.

>>13792568
The LOS bonus is independant of the actual number of planes left in the slot.

Even Isuzu gets the bonus when she has one equipped.

Who else has gensui without an e-peen medal in their server's top 10?

>>13795130
He could've used it.

>>13789866

Don't they affect base accuracy though?

Is it worth it to upgrade a couple of basic 41cm guns for nagamon?

Yes

>PVP sortieing for ASW against a sub fleet
>combat starts
>mfw it changed to 4BB/2CV

After three weeks of playing I am HQ level 85 due to stupidly farming 1-5 and 2-2 boss nodes.
I thought Events would still be possible if I select easy mode but now I read that LOS checks are based on HQ level.

I'm afraid of leveling my ships now because events and EOs will get more and more impossible for me since I don't have any decent LOS equipment beyond Isuzu radars.
How can I get out of this situation?

>>13795198

If the player is online and actively changing up their active fleet, this can happen. It's hilarious.

>fifth and last opponent
>this guy actually has an A-team fleet prepped
>my own B-team (because that's who needs the levels) has no chance of getting S but oh well
>mfw it turns into a single level 1 DD
>mfw I have no face

>>13795200
Seaplanes give more LoS due to how it is calculated. Spam the Observation Plane recipe since it is cheaper and level your girls more since they gain LoS naturally.

>>13795200
This HQ lvl meme needs to stop

I don't think I'll be able to get my shit un-kicked-in before the event.
I tried to beat 2-4 last night, 3CV, 3BB, all BBs kai, 1 CV kai, and got my shit kicked in.

>>13795219
That's not terrible. I did my first event when I didn't even have 2-2 unlocked yet. Granted, I didn't get past E-3, but my fleet came back a lot stronger than it would have been. Don't worry if you think you're not going to beat anything in the event, do it on lesser difficulties and concentrate on gaining strength for the next one. Get some cool, rare, and strong ships, and come back to the next event with even greater firepower.

>>13795219
You can still try to get the rewards for the first 2 maps since they are always pretty easy to clear and get lucky with rare drops since they always drop a lot.

>>13795239
>>13795256
My problem is that I'm still repairing my ships.
I ran out of steel after the first one got repaired this morning.

>>13795219
You still have 2weeks before event.
Resources aren't important, having a variety fully modernized ships are more important with ship locking.

>>13795259
Do your dailies and run expeditions for the resources you most need. Weeklies reset tomorrow, so it's even better.

problem is, I've been running expeditions all damned day, and I still have a few to go.

>>13795266
In particular, construction dailies give you a pretty huge net gain with regards to steel provided you do minimum consumption, so always do those!

>>13795152
They do. There's roughly a 22% accuracy deviation between L1 and L99.

>>13795200

>reading old and busted guides

They started letting you select your difficulty level for events a long time ago.

The only real thing you might miss now is an easier clear of 1-5 before level 40 but that's heavily reliant on getting the BBV up, leveled, and properly outfitted, and god help you if you didn't use 1-5 to level up DDs and CLs before you hit 80.

So yeah, you're really not missing much.

>>13795285

Only do 30/30/30/30 builds if you're done trying to get ships from builds, which won't be a very, very long time. A lot of my friends started playing at the same time as me, gave the same advice of "only do minimum builds", and then in the same day they end up trying a bunch of big ship builds that end up flopping.

A 30/30/30/30 build is a waste of a devmat, which is a far larger bottleneck once you get your third fleet and expedition 21 going, and you'll need absolutely massive piles for LSC late game. DDs are a literal dime a dozen as drops and there's not that many that are both important to get and relatively common builds, so why waste 120 combined resource and a devmat to just get another +1 torpedo modernization?

Don't do minimum builds, just be smart with your builds. An absolute minimum build to get your daily done is a waste of 120 resources when you're going to take the materials you just got and put them into a BB recipe right away afterward.

>>13795278
The beginning is always hard. Try to unlock the good ones as soon as possible and sparkle to maximize returns for the lengthy expeditions.

>>13795219
>>13795259
Stop using 3 BBs. You shouldn't need more than 1BB at once until late game. 2CV at once should be enough as well, just craft good planes for them. The problem with BBs is that they don't get particularly good equipment when you Kai Ni them and they also eat up a lot of resources. Fully modernized CA can do just as good of a job.

>>13795340
>A 30/30/30/30 build is a waste of a devmat
>DDs are a literal dime a dozen as drops
Akatsuki and Hibiki are pretty damn hard to get as drops and you need both of them for a few quest lines. If you already have those then 30/30/30/30 is probably a waste

>>13795343
Shoukaku, Mutsu, Akagi, Hiryuu,Fusou and Yamashiro in my main fleet.
>>13795359
Problem is, I'm getting my shit kicked in with them.

So she'll lose the uguu~ face for Italia Due, right?

dem pastabags tho

>>13795359

What? Both of them are common drops from 1-1 and 1-5. You'll drown in redundant copies when you go to sparkle your expedition ships.

>>13795285
250/x/200/x is the daily recipe that you should spam until you get all the subs and the twin super kaze.
Akagi+random drop CV(L) should be enough for you up to world 6.

>>13795364
Add a fourth BB and you shouldn't have any problems.

>>13795364
You're playing on easy mode. I didn't have BBs until 3-3 and a CV until 4-3 besides Akagi.

>>13795388
I just put the basic recipies in for my first CV and BB, got the rest from drops and quests.

I started shortly before the last event, and I wasn't able to finish it even on easy (Made it through E4 and ran out of all resources). I'd like to at least get through this one on medium, but there's not much time left to prepare.

Who should I focus my grinding on? DDs and CLs right?

>>13795417

>those ship levels

just accept that you're going to be doing easy again

>>13795417
Basically everybody, but you especially need more DDs. Stop giving Atago love for a few days. Also, how the fuck do people get Yukikaze so early in the game? She didn't drop for me until I hit 6000 drops.

>>13795417
Just get everything here.

>>13795417
Why do people seem to have huge differences in levels? Is it really that hard to have a nice level curve?

>>13795471

>>13795506
It's been a meme since Ironbottom.

Really wish devs would let us see where we currently are on the map before proceeding to the next node.

Sometimes I forget which sub node i'm on when mindlessly leveling in 4-3 then get wrecked when I continue past the 2nd one.

Help I keep trying to sparkle my girls but instinctively go to 5-4

>>13795541
It is not a meme. The most difficult map in Ironbottom can be cleared by lvl1 ships.

>>13795553
>can be cleared by lvl1 ships
And yet you have a level 74 goya.

>>13795534

You can hit 80 easily after a month of playing normally, dailies and 3-2/4-3 grinding. You dont even need to be a rankfag.

>>13795919
To stop her from being Ichiban.

>>13795893
Add a submarine intercept formation that creates an ASW phase (depth charges, torpedo, depth charges) to precede aviation phase when present. Submarines have their attack increased by 100%. Aviation-capable ships prioritize ships over submarines.

Finish your weeklies turbonerds.

Noshiro a cute, best CL beside Yahagi.

What other ships larger than DD, SS, and CL should I be looking for multiples of?

I know that I need multiples of Chiyoda/Chitose for their AV and CLV versions, but are there any situations where I would absolutely require or be greatly convenienced by two fully maximized versions of a ship? Expedition clones and subtanking are the only case I can think of (hence hordes of SS and Mutsuki class DDs).

>>13796565
Only Chitose class and Taigei are really necessary.

>>13796565
There're probably enough Mutsuki-class to run most expeditions constantly without even needing duplicates.

>>13796565
Taigei
Red Ryuuhou
Green Ryuuhou

Also, 6-1 and 3-5 are now ez modo.
Why haven't you spend you blueprint on her yet?

>>13796589

There's only 9 that are easy to acquire, the 10th is a rare boss drop only.

Three expedition fleets means running anywhere from 12-18 girls at a time. 1-3 of these will be probably be CLs, and I can sub in SS here and there, but I might have to run as many as 14 DDs out simultaneously. The bigger factor into wanting a mongol horde of Mutsukis is to can sparkle them, leave them cutely sitting around for the longest time at 85 morale, then tag them in for their dopplegangers when they finally unsparkel without having to delay the expedition for a few sorties to sparkle up the replacement.

The convenience of a large spare magazine of sparkled DDs is pretty big. I can get into a rhythm of resparkling and topping off half a dozen or more DDs all in one sitting instead of having while waiting for the latest batch of SS and SS tanks to repair, instead of constantly having to flip back and forth between farming/grinding fleets and sparkling on fleet #1.

>>13796613
But green Ryuuhou is best Ryuuhou. Why would you need the red one.

>>13796620
Just use this opportunity to level other DDs. Those 5 ammo aren't going to kill you.

>>13796620
Is sparkling all your expeditions really worth it? I mean you're looking into sparkling all 6 ships one by one which already eats up a bunch of resources. Sure I guess it's worth it for over 5 hours expeditions but the highest yielding expeditions are only 30 minutes to ~2 hours., and if you sparkle 6 ships for those expeditions you are already looking close to 50% of expedition profit in sparkling your ships at 1-1.

>>13796620
>to much jew in one post

>>13796669
No one actually sparkles their ships for expeditions. It's a meme

>>13796669
Not him, but let's make some simple math, shall we? Sparkling one destroyer to 85 costs 18 fuel and 21 ammo, assuming you're not a retard who uses Mutsukies for expeditions. 108 fuel and 126 ammo for a batch of 6. Now, sparkles would last 12 sorties. ex6 without sparkles would equal 960 bauxite, with sparkles it's 1440. It would take 18 ex6 to get the same amount, or 4 more hours. In those 4 hours you could've run ex5 two times, even without sparkles going net positive on fuel/ammo. Let's look at ex5 now. 120 fuel 141 ammo for a batch. Again, sparkles last for 12 expeditions. You'll get 2400 fuel/ammo. With sparkles you'll get 3480/3459 respectively, 1,44 times more. Sparkling all expeditions is well worth it.
Note on Mutsukis and why using them is retarded. One Mutsuki saves roughly 270 ammo if you're sparkling and scripting short expeditions, best case scenario. Usually they'll save even less. Wasting exp for these crumbs, with ammo being by far the most abundant resource you'd never have any shortage of, is just incredibly inefficient.

>>13796751
>Wasting exp for these crumbs

Rude.

>>13796751
>Wasting exp for these crumbs
What if I just love Mutsukis? Are you going to judge or question my love?

>>13796775
Efficiency and love are two different things. Retards spout that Mutsukies are efficient expedition slaves while in fact they are not.

>>13796751
I didn't realize sparkling lasted that long from expeditions. What method are you using to sparkle your ships? Running 1-1 twice with just one ship at the time?

>>13796790
1-1 four to five times, depending on your battle ratings. If you're using KCV or the logbook, it will tell you their sparkle value, which you want to get up to 85 before moving on to the next one.

>>13796794
>doing 1-1 180 times every day to get all your ships to sparkle

>>13796790
Use DD drops as meatshields. You'll get about 12 morale per sortie, hence you only need to run it thrice.
>>13796794
It's impossible not to get A rank.

>>13796808

I send them in solo, and maybe 1/20 runs gets a C or D at the boss node.

>>13796565
>multiple CLs
wat

The only CLs you'll need now are Jintsuu, Abukuma, Yuubari, Ooyodo and maybe Isuzu (the last one only for upgrading depth charges, but everyone knows sonars are more important anyway). And even then you don't need more than 4 CLs. Unless you're including CLTs, in which case an extra pair of KitaOoi of course; if you're not, then those 2 CLTs of course.

Other than that: 3 pairs of hotels (2 for expeditions, 1 for sortiing). An extra Kaga. And if you're new you can consider a dupe set of Kongous, too.

Also

I did that earlier, having 4 pages of scratches in repair log really grinded my gears.

Fucking keyboard.

>>13796794
Is it worth using 6 sparkled ships in expeditions that only require 4?

>>13796826
You either sparkle all 6 or don't sparkle at all. The only exception are drum expeditions, you only need 4 sparkles to reach great success chance cap since they already have flat 50% chance for great success.

>>13796826
That all depends on whether or not you want great success. Ex5, for example, I never send less than 6 sparkled girls out.

>>13796826
Unless you are still stucked in LSC hell or ranking, there is no need to sparkle.

>>13796835
>drum expeditions
This morning my fully sparkled Tokyo Express 2 fleet came back from their expedition with only a Normal Success.

Either drum expeditions are dumb, or the one chuuha'd ship in my expedition fleet reduced the probability of reaching Great success (which makes me dumb).

>>13796861
>great success chance cap
Read my post. I sparkle everything longer than 39 minutes and I get noticeable number of normal successes every month.

>>13796865
>cap
Oh sorry, I missed this part.

>>13796835
I'm not sure why you would have to do all 6 or none. I'm pretty sure the expected value is a growing function of the number of sparkled girls, so even one is something.

>>13796924
its 16% per sparkled ship on non drum expeditions.

>>13796808
It's retarded. You waste a lot of time for switching the meatshields (sunken meatshield means defeat if you don't kill flagship on boss node so you have to switch out chuuha) and battles on second nodes are longer as well. Plus, with one ship it's easier to avoid defeats because opponent can only scratch you. The only downside is having to repair them but scratch on DDs is nothing if you have four repair docks. However it is possible to get C rank on boss node if you miss one of the attacks.

>>13796924
Why bother sparkling if you can get screwed by RNG? I never got great success with one sparkled ship and I sent such expeditions dozens of times in the past. Full sparkle basically guarantees great success and is the way to go. Four sparkles are viable for ex6.
Obviously drum expeditions only need four sparkles, not sure about increased amount of drums but I always have more.

>>13796938
because long run statistics and because time spent to sparkle isn't free.

>>13796966
If you want to talk about time, sparkling whole fleet makes even more sense because you're sure to get rewarded for time spent sparkling. It's better to prepare full team every few days than half ass it all the time.

>>13796938
>Why bother sparkling if you can get screwed by RNG?
That is a remarkably short-sighted question. You *can* get screwed by RNG, but if you're sparkling full fleets, it's not likely. I haven't had a sparkled fleet come back without great success in 4 months.

>>13796974
You misunderstood me.

>>13796973
ok, ok. I'll be more clear.
One sparkled girl gives you +16% chance to get great success. This bascally gives you, in the long run, 108% of the basic resource gain of the current expedition.

A 1-1 sparkling run gives 12 morale generally, which is spendable over 4 exp. It means the average cost of a sparkle for one exp is around 2 fuel and 2 ammo for one girl.

So unless 8% of your current exp is less than 2/2 (that would mean the exp yields less than 25/25), it's always a gain to sparkle one more girl.

Basically I'm just trying to prove that it's not "Do all or do none" but "whenever you can spend the time to do one more, it's worth it in the long run" contrary to what >>13796835 said.

>>13797003
I never get GS with one sparkled girl, it's not worth it. If I only have time for sparkling one girl, it's better to simply do something else.

>>13797007
So it's not 16% then ? If you're so adamant about that better start your own stats and correct the wiki, please.

>>13797018
For non-drum missions, all ships in the fleet need to be sparkled for any chance of GS. Only if you get a chance to begin with, then the chance will be calculated.

>>13797025
>missions
expeditions*
I'm drunk.

Memory consumption on KCV is just getting on my nerves now. I'm using corsair plats so they're not even close to being a credible issue but goddammit how is a flash using up 1gb

>>13797018
Of course not. It's an estimation based on "six sparkles = almost guaranteed success". It doesn't mean "one sparkle = exactly 16%". Even according to first formula it would be above 16% but they use 16% "because it's easier".
Basically, idiots trying to make things easier to get, without understanding that they are actually confusing most of people with irrelevant shit nobody needs. It's this retardedly idiotic attitude of trying to measure everything and show it in numbers even if data is lacking. When tests are done for full sparkles, don't divide the value for one sparkle. I want to punch people whenever they talk about 16%. Sorry, I ranted too much.

>>13797025
No. As I said above, 4 sparkles are viable for ex6 and I do get GS more often then not. However I don't remember a single time when one or two sparkles gave me GS, not sure about 3 but I vaguely remember it also sucked. With 5 sparkles normal success isn't rare at all.

>>13797056
I'm >>13797025, I think you didn't read my post clearly enough.

Maybe both. Kitakami just goes and sinks a destroyer in opening torpedo and sits back while the battleships and carriers shred everything and Tenryuu kills the big survivor. Tenryuu is my highest level ship and I've taken her on every sortie I could

>>13796820
>Not getting any Agano class

Truly you are a man with a barren heart.

>>13797420
Actually, it's KCV. I'm watching the resources climb right now as I open, close, and reopen the ship list and equipment list windows. Looks like it doesn't release the window's resources and just initializes a new set of data each time the window is brought up. I get a permanent jump of about 12MB of RAM usage each time I open the ship list.

Yuubari's KCV 3.8.1 rev8, Flash 18.0.0.209

All these minLSCs and I keep getting BBs. No Noshiro and no Maruyus.

Help!

>>13797518
Further testing, every time you visit the main menu to cause a ship list update, that window leaks its memory and completely re-initializes everything. Now, my RAM usage of >>13797101 makes sense, since I play with the ship list open.

>>13797518
That's because the latest flash update fucked something up for the interaction between KCV and the game window. Most people only started having these issues after updating to build 209.

>>13797518
>>13797551
My IE's flash is 17.0.0.134 and KCV is 3.8.1 rev.8 but I'm getting memory leak as well.

>>13797551
I was in version 16 before updating today. I'm not sure that a problem like that would have gone unnoticed for two major versions, so I'm cautious about blaming flash anymore.

Where's a good map to farm steel, preferably with a sub fleet?

But why would you farm steel when Tokyo Express drowns you with it?

Went through these same steps with:
Yuubari 3.8.0.7, 3.5.0.3, 2.6.0
yuyuvn 3.8.2
grabacr07 3.8.2

They all give the same results. I'll just blame flash and call it a night. But the cause is isolated. Something in how KCV interacts with flash to pull data leaks memory. If you don't open those windows, there is still a leak every time you go to your HQ page, but it's 2-4MB as opposed to 12-15MB if you have the windows open.

4-4 is too hard, please send help.

How is my fleet looking like? Can I just leave all my Kongou class ships at ~lv25 while I focus on leveling other classes? The difference between Kai and Kai2 for them seems to be very small. How many DDs and CLs should I have? Should I modernize my Hyuuga and Ise that are sitting at lv1?

How many drums/girls with high morale do I need to ensure a 100% chance of great success? Has that been tested yet? I know that all 6 girls with high morale grant a great success but I'd like to know if you could use a combination of both.

>>13798174
You do not need K2s to beat events on hard. It takes as much resources as it would take with simple Kais. Kai everything, mod firepower, torpedo and armor on everyone, and stockpile resources. Resources matter, stats do no.

And then you won't have any resources anyways so you'll still have to do easy mode. Just concentrate on strengthening what you already have, modernize your ships. Take it easy, no one is expecting a new player to finish the event.

>>13798180
It's 4 sparkles to reach great success cap for drum expeditions. Drum amount is irrelevant to great success chance.

>>13798225
"Drum Expedition (21, 24, 37, 38)Edit

Unlike regular expeditions, Great Success has a chance of occurring even if only some (or none) of the participating ships have 50+ morale. Equipping additional Drum Canisters increases this chance. Ships with 50+ morale still increase the chance of Great Success, but at a lower rate of approximately 16% per sparkling ship. "

125% of required drums is needed for (near?) 100% great success with 4 sparkled ships, which is usually 1 over the required except for exp 38.
exp 38 can fail great success at 9 drums but so far hasn't at 10 drums after a few months of running it like that.

>>13798473
