At last, I hope janny opens his eyes, he needs to get ready for the upcoming event too.
Is it august yet?

Reminder that US are the abyss and Japan is saving the world from their rap music and poor health care

Battle of the Eastern Solomons, or the Second Battle of the Solomon Sea, Operation SN.

On June 13 1942, the Naval General Staff decided to build an airbase at Guadalcanal. Mutsuki and Transporter Kinyu Maru were first to arrive, screened by Yubari, Uzuki, Tenryu, and Tatsuta as well as the 6th DesRon.

The American counteroffensive started much earlier than expected, catching Japan unprepared with Operation Watchtower, which captured a decoy airstrip built by Japan and turned it into Henderson Field. The US gained total air superiority.

On August 16, 1942 troop transports left Truk for Guadalcanal. On August 21, the rest of the Operation Ka counteroffensive departed:

Support force anchored in Truk: Yamato, Taiyo, Akebono, Ushio
Main carrier striking force: Shokaku, Zuikaku, Destroyers Kazagumo, Yugumo, Makigumo, Akigumo, Hatsukaze, Akizuki
Mobile force: Ryujo, Tone, Amatsukaze, Tokitsukaze
Vanguard: Hiei, Kirishima, Kumano, Suzuya, Chikuma, Nagara, Destroyers Nowaki, Maikaze, Tanikaze
Advance force: Atago, Maya, Takao, Myoko, Haguro, Yura; Destroyers Kuroshio, Oyashio, Hayashio, Minegumo, Natsugumo, Asagumo; Chitose as a seaplane carrier
Outer seas screening force: Jintsu, Suzukaze, Kawakaze, Umikaze, Kagero, Isokaze, Mutsuki, Yayoi, Uzuki
Covering force: Chokai, Kinugasa, Aoba, Furutaka
Standby forces not at sea: Junyo, Mutsu, Harusame, Samidare, Murasame

The plan was to locate and destroy the US carriers Enterprise, Saratoga, and Wasp.

5 new ships?

>>13822314
5 AA DDs.

>>13822314
5 new destroyers to scrap.

>>13822314
So how many of those five ships have been confirmed as DDs? It was three right?

>>13822370
Only Teruzuki as far as I'm aware.

>>13822314
>only 5 new ships

>>13822314
I'm guessing there won't be any foreign ships this time, considering the hype they tried to build with the pasta ships. Looking at the new equipment too, also doesn't give me much hope for them either.

#Ship this

hey guys, I just got Akashi. Now I can finally use the screws.
What should I upgrade first? There are so many things, I don't know what to do.

>>13823564
Post equipment list.

>>13823564
AP Shells and 35.6cm's

>>13823564
Upgrade something that you can get your screw back.

>>13823564
Akiduki guns should always be your #1 upgrade priority.

>>13823596
What's the point? He'll get them from the event.

>>13823596
I have 6 guns (5 max and 1 at +8) and I can tell you that's not the case.

>>13823564
Normally you'd look back on the last event's final map and see what equipment was most important there, but if you can't do that, try upgrading Akashi's favorite thing.

>>13823610
More is better. They're easily the best guns for DDs, aside from the ones that use torpedos.

>>13823610
Because you need at least 10 to fully deck out a suirai sentai

>>13823569
>>13823596
>>13823629
I have the the essentials. Reppuu, AP Shell, Sanshiki, etc.
I don't have akizuki guns, though, or the last event's reward gear.

>>13821860
Out of this post, I'm pretty sure we'll have to use AVs for routing.

>>13823693
You'll be fine. Where are all your regular 46cm's at though? No hotels?

>>13823706
No, I haven't had luck with LSC yet. Only a couple of maruyus, aganos and infinite kongous.

Are Type 91 AP shells +6 better than Type 1 AP shells with no modernization?

>>13823693
Four 41cms to around +3 or +4 each, both quint torps to +6, T3 sonars and depth charges to +6, T91 AP shells to +6, one search light to max.

If you have enough screws left upgrade a couple quad torps to max and a couple T21s and T22s each to max.

>>13823713
I feel you. How long have you been playing?

>>13823719
Yes, it's a pain trying to max a Type 1 shell anyway.

>>13823730
I'm not maxing a type 1 Shell, I'm just asking which is better. I've been modernizing my 4 type 91s but I have the two type 1s from the quests.

>>13823725
Noted. I thought the 94 AAFD were priority to upgrade as well, though.
>>13823728
A few months, actually, since around the winter event, I think? Been taking it easy, though, and suffered many weeks without internet.

>>13823693
Where is your night plane?
That is your bigger issue compare to not having upgraded equipment. I never find BB guns worth it to upgrade outside of bisko guns. I prefer stock proto 41cm guns compare to upgraded bb guns.

>>13823750
>>13823725 here, going to rearrange the stuff to be upgraded according to priority:

-Four 41cms to around +3 or +4 each
-All T91 AP shells to +6
-Both quint torps to +6
-1 T22 radar to T22 Kai 4, the other to as high as you can manage
-2 quad torps to max
-2 T21 radars to max
-One search light to max
-All T3 sonars and the T3 depth charge to +6

>>13823750
>I thought the 94 AAFD were priority to upgrade as well, though.
Not really, there's no point upgrading them unless you also have Akizuki.

>>13823753
The night scout? It's right under Type 0 Recon Seaplane, I have only one from Sendai kai ni.
I was a retard who forgot to enlarge the name fields, so some names are cut off.

Are you blind or what, anon?

>>13823770
I see. Thanks for the advice, anon.

>>13823753
>stock proto
Full retard, a BB gun at 9 will be better. Proto guns are for lazy people who don't want to farm guns.

How likely are Asaguma/Asashimo/Kiyoshimo event drops going to be now that they're obtainable in normal maps?

>>13823945
It will still be low just because they can. If I don't get them this time around, I'm going to be mad.

>>13823945
>>13824015
I only need 14 more ships to have them all as of now, and those three are all in there. I really don't feel like farming the 4-5 boss or 1-6 with a ~0.3% chance.

Well then.

>>13824096
Where's Harusame and why are those two sluts at the bottom there?

Yes, but it's a little expensive, especially when the event is near.

4-3, but it eats buckets.

Just use 4-3 as the maps for your daily.
By the time you finish the transport and 10sortie daily, you will usually end up with a positive buckets count.

>>13824434
Fuck you, Freud.

>>13824422
Oh, okay. Are there any cheaper maps you'd recommend?

Otaku is rlly bad right?

>>13824409
4-3 is the fastest for a single DD or CL. 4-1 is the second fastest but is more efficient.

Most efficient when training multiple DDs/CLs is 5-1-D. Get 3 radars ready, though.

>>13824438
Submarines are boats, anon.

>>13824479
>muh tradition

>>13823725
>searchlight to max
Why? What does that accomplish?

>>13824519
Extra firepower damage.

>>13824519
Why not? Night battle equipment is pretty important when you really need it.

>>13824530
What? Since when was this a thing? Source? I know torps and sonars increase firepower but never heard of searchlights doing that.

>>13824546
Special equipment like AA directors and search lights increase firepower. Torps don't. Not sure about radars.

When doing the final upgrade on a type 94 AAFD into a 10cm + AAFD should I use the guaranteed success? It's 10 screws compared to 5 which seems steep but if the 5 is a low success chance I'll go for the guarantee.

>>13824558
Yes do it. I'd use the slider even if the chance of failure is 20%.

>>13824562
Alright, thanks anon.

>>13824558
I don't bother with the slider unless it's valuable equipment at stake.

>>13824562
With such a low failure rate it's not worth using the slider. Maybe if it's 40%. 50+% definitely warrants a slider though.

>>13824577
But what is the failure rate for that? If I knew what it was exactly I would be more inclined to roll the dice, however not knowing it scares me so I feel like I might want to guarantee it.

>>13824546
Alright you know what never mind. I should have checked first. Straight from wikiwiki:
爆雷・ソナー・高射装置・探照灯は強化すると砲撃戦での与ダメージも上昇する。魚雷・機銃は上昇しない。
(例:91式高射装置maxで火力+3相当の上昇)

>>13824581
Personal experience tells me it's around 1 out of 3 so I'll just go with that for myself.

>>13823725
Why +6 for the torps and AP shell? The breakpoint for both is at +1, +4 and +9. At +6 you get 2.449 which isn't even enough for you to get to 5 with 2 of them.

>>13824667
Accuracy.

Is it better to max 20.3 (2) or 20.3 (3)?

>>13824865
Neither, wait until Prinz Eugen's guns are farmable and max that.

>>13824868
It's going to be suffering if it needs Eugen gun for +6 and up.

>>13824865
Depends which placebo do you like:
>muh accuracy or muh firepower

Nothing like seeing the 2-2 boss node 5 times in a row. 5 mother fucking times in a row, that 30% is really fucking me in the ass right now.

Anyone got the accuracy chart for upgraded equipment?

>>13824904
Yes

>>13823725
>>13824685
>>13823770
Torps DON'T get accuracy. We don't know exact values for radars and no matter what they would be, guns have priority over them. Your whole list is terrible.

>>13823770
>Not really, there's no point upgrading them unless you also have Akizuki.
Oh, I should have known you're that moron who has no idea about game mechanics. After all there can only be one person as stupid as you.

Priority should be 35.6 to +5 or +8. AP Shells to +4. 41cm to +2 or +5 depending on how many Mutsu you dropped. 20.3 (2) or 20.3 (3) to +4. Quints to +4 if you have the screws. Akizuki gun to +4 or normal 12.7 to +9. Give +1 to a couple of T3 Sonars. +4 later.
Having at least one Akizuki gun is very important because you can perform AACI and maintain the double attack in night.
When upgrading guns, do one pair first of a type and more guns later. At the same time, it's better to have six guns somewhat upgraded than two guns maxed which is especially important when event is drawing near. So, 2x 35.6 at +5, 2x 20.3(2) at +4, 2x 41cm at +2 is much better than just 2x41cm at +9 while taking less screws.

>>13821605

Good luck upgrading that when you don't have Akizuki.

>upgrading 35.6cms ever
>upgrading normal 12.7s ever
Dude what.

>implying AA cut-in is the most important thing in the world
>choosing double attack over cut-in ever
Get a load of this faggot. Cut-ins are where it's at.

In addition, the only ship that can cut-in with just Akizuki gun is Akizuki herself. Everyone else needs air radar or AA director (which takes up space that you could have used for night battle equipment) on top of Akizuki gun to be able to perform AA cut-in. You don't seem to have a full grasp of the mechanics yourself, either.

The only things I'd probably add are to upgrade the 12.7 type B Kai 2s he has, and a couple of 15.2cms. And the 20.3(no.2); I didn't notice that before.

Though I forgot that radars don't count as much. I'll give you that. I'll remove the radars since his suck anyway. And you're also right that upgrading one piece of equipment at a time is inefficient; bring everything up to +1 followed by to +2 then to +3 etc.

>>13824959
Why would you upgrade the lesser BB guns when you are going to run hotels and bisko for the final event combined fleet map?
You can use 46cm for normal map no problem.

>>13825018
He said he doesn't have hotels. But for combined fleet, vanilla 35.6cm is good enough for monkeys. Sooner or later it'll be phased out in favour of guns like Bisko guns anyway.

>>13825018
You think everybody has fucking hotels? Especially when you're advising new players?

>>13824990
It doesn't matter who we're quoting. What matters is our plan.

Either the janitor is working at the speed of light or the dumbfuck is deleting his own posts like a fucking pussy for fear of being banned for shitposting.

>>13825008
>Good luck upgrading that when you don't have Akizuki.
Can't you read? Akizuki guns OR normal 12.7. If you can't upgrade first one, upgrade latter one. Upgrading normal 12.7 is no cost and at +9 it's better than 12.7 B at +4.

>Dude what.
As I said, you have no fucking idea how the game works.
DD guns explained above. For BB guns priority is:
Bisko guns Kai (unlikely you have her early though) > 35.6 > 41 > rest
35.6 are perfectly enough to go over the cap in combined fleet. Even in single fleet, two 35.6 guns at +8 and AP Shell at +4 give total of +48 firepower, leading Kongous to day cap thanks to base +5.
>>13825018
The only difference between upgraded 35.6 and 46cm guns in green T/doukousen and good health is lower accuracy in case of heavier gun. 35.6 cost almost nothing screws-wise while bigger guns get quite expensive without providing noticeable boost.
There's no reason to upgrade other BB guns if you don't have at least a pair of 35.6 at +5. Once you do, you can start caring about increasing your damage in hankousen/chuuha.

>Get a load of this faggot. Cut-ins are where it's at.
Cut-ins are shit on anyone with less than 40 luck. That includes the strongest DD, Poi. Even then, you often don't need the cut-in, they only make sense vs targets with ~150+ armor. If you meet someone less sturdy (let's say, DD Hime), cut-ins are outright worse than double attacks because they don't have ~99% chance of occurring.

>In addition, the only ship that can cut-in with just Akizuki gun is Akizuki herself.
No. Any DD can cut-in with Akizuki gun + HA gun + Air Radar.
Again, please read carefully.
>Having at least one Akizuki gun is very important because you can perform AACI and maintain the double attack in night.
>double attack in night

>The only things I'd probably add are to upgrade the 12.7 type B Kai 2s he has
But I said it's a bad idea to upgrade 12.7 B.

>and a couple of 15.2cm
That's stupid unless we get proof of them giving some huge boost to CLs.

>>13825039
Janny, except there's no real pattern.

>>13825062
It's pretty amazing actually. I reported the "who are you quoting" and the subsequent bane shit and within minutes they were gone. I've never seen them being this efficient before.

>>13825069
It's just strange they left the other thread up, oh well.

Previous post was getting too long.

>>13825008
>Fine, engagement modifiers then.
Yes, I agree about engagement modifiers, I'm actually the one who argued about them before and did the test with Kuma. You have to keep in mind that doukousen is the most common engagement so one should focus on maximizing potential damage in doukousen first and only later in other modifiers. Not to mention there are no engagement modifiers in yasen (or you could say it's doukousen 100% of the time), only HP modifiers.
So it would be +4 for Quints at first, upgrading most of other stuff to respective tiers and only when you have all the basics covered, putting eq to +6 or max. Guy who asked initially only got his Akashi recently, so he should focus on +4.

>>13825023
Other reason is that it's very easy to get 35.6 to +8/+9/max and they are fit guns on eight battleships, six of which are very common choices. 41cm are fit on two, 381mm on two and 46cm on none. +9 35.6 will give more accuracy to a Hotel than +5 41cm. Bisko guns are only fit on her but accuracy boost is so big they're better than fit guns on everyone. Good luck getting (upgraded) Bisko guns if you haven't been playing for a long time though.

>>13825053
>That's stupid unless we get proof of them giving some huge boost to CLs.
I don't think any accuracy boost can justify the fuck huge firepower loss. Unless we know the 20.3cm variants are overweight, the 15cm gun group might as well be fucking trash on the side of the road.

>>13825039
>deleting his own posts like a fucking pussy for fear of being banned for shitposting
>shitposter
>fear of banned

>>13825083
Maybe he ran out of proxies. I don't know.

>>13825080
There is evidence on wikiwiki suggesting that Bismarck's guns may be fit on Kongou. Doesn't change the fact that the 35.6cm should be prioritized in upgrades but I just felt like throwing that out.

But /jp/, you are the shitposters.

>>13825082
>accuracy boost
What about a yasen damage boost?

>>13825115
No such thing.
The only yasen boost is accuracy boost for CAs who use 20.3cm, 20.3cm (2) or 20.3cm (3).

I'm trying to complete Expedition 37 for the first time, but it always fails. What's wrong with my fleet?

>>13825128
I can't believe I overlooked that. Thanks anon!

>>13825142
bless this artist

See, now, what I don't get is why the enemy fleet still gets the benefit of artillery spotting when I lose AS and then luck out by sinking all their carriers on opening torpedo. Just give me that double attack, you jew game.

>>13825053
I can read, it says that you're assuming someone this new even has the chance of having an Akizuki. And no one ever recommends upgrading vanilla 12.7cm. Well, maybe except you.

>needing 48 firepower on Kongous Kai to get to daytime cap
Kek am I reading this right. Did you perchance forget to take into account the +15 bonus to firepower the main fleet has? 123 total firepower is already enough for daytime cap.

>Cut-ins are shit on anyone with less than 40 luck
Then don't use anyone with less than 40 luck? I mean it's fucking common sense. Even a new player should have two of Shigure/Yukikaze/Hatsushimo/Ayanami lying around. If you mean CL, only Ooyodo can pull Akizuki gun cut-in + daytime double attack, and I highly doubt a new player would bother farming 1-6 for her.

>they only make sense vs targets with ~150+ armor
Which chances are the last map will have, even on fucking easy. BB water oni on easy has 168 armour. If he's trying medium or hard she has 200.

>No. Any DD can cut-in with Akizuki gun + HA gun + Air Radar.
>Again, please read carefully.
You are the one who didn't read carefully. Not only did I answer that particular point, I even pointed out why it's a bad idea.
>In addition, the only ship that can cut-in with just Akizuki gun is Akizuki herself.
>just Akizuki gun
>Everyone else needs air radar or AA director (which takes up space that you could have used for night battle equipment) on top of Akizuki gun to be able to perform AA cut-in.
>Everyone else needs air radar of AA director

>But I said it's a bad idea to upgrade 12.7 B.
Fine.

(CLs point in next post due to lack of space)

(continued from last post)

>That's stupid unless we get proof of them giving some huge boost to CLs.
Have the nips even tested it out yet? All I've heard is that fit guns increase damage dealt.

Besides, by autumn 2014, 4 months after fit guns were implemented, people still thought that 46cms were the guns to use in suijou butai. I doubt things will be the same in 3 months; everyone will be scrambling to upgrade their 15.2cms in time for this autumn. And why not start early when you can?

>>13825080
True, but it's only the plurality, not the majority. This argument of yours would hold if doukousen was like 55% chance. Still, doukousen + green T combined is more than 50% chance, so I'll give you that, even though there are other factors too.

And I still think it's ultimately a waste to upgrade 35.6cm battleship guns, but to each his own. I can't convince you and you can't convince me. But I'll tell you this: if you upgrade battleship guns to +8 and AP shell to +9, you get +11 firepower; this everyone should know. But if and only if you upgrade everything to max, you can get out an extra 12th point of firepower. So if you think it's worth upgrading 35.6cms, you might as well upgrade them to max along with AP shells. With that in mind however, he only has 4 AP shells, and he'll need to upgrade them all (for 4 BBs), so he won't be able to get them all to max. The next best he can aim for is +5.

Though come to think of it, 41cms are a waste too, so I'll remove that too.

Also almost forgot:
>>13825446

As in Kai 2 for everyone except Yukikaze. With 1-5 grinding it's easily achievable to get at least 2 of them in a week or two.

Looking at the upgrading table. This should be your daily routine unless you run out of spare guns.
S - Bismarck 38cm kai
M - Bismarck 38cm kai
T - Bismarck 38cm kai
W - Bismarck 38cm at the date change over
T - Bismarck 38cm
F - Bismarck 38cm
S - Bismarck 38cm kai at the date change over

Just a single advice to lowbie. Dont fall into the trap of upgrading and cannibalizing your current 35.6 and 41 guns.You guys are wasting stock 35.6 and 41 that could be used for Bismarck.
1Bismarck will give you 2 38cm kai and 3 38cm. You need tons of screws and guns to fully upgrade them. Don't waste them.

No, my post wasn't purely for new players, it was also talking about priorities in general.

>And no one ever recommends upgrading vanilla 12.7cm. Well, maybe except you.
What a shitty argument. If you used your brain you would know why upgrading 12.7 is a good idea. Or if read my post to which you're replying but rest of your comments suggest you failed at that. Normal 12.7 are the only DD guns worth upgrading outside of obvious Akizuki guns. And I'm saying that as someone with a couple of upgraded 12.7 B. A shame we only learned about accuracy boosts later.

>Then don't use anyone with less than 40 luck?
Goddamn moron. Not everyone likes all the lucky monsters, not everyone likes to depend on cut-ins. Stop forcing your close-mindedness on everyone.

>If you mean CL, only Ooyodo can pull Akizuki gun cut-in + daytime double attack
Why the fuck would you even consider something so shitty?

>Which chances are the last map will have, even on fucking easy. BB water oni on easy has 168 armour. If he's trying medium or hard she has 200.
Irrelevant to what I was saying. Events don't consist of solely the last map. Plus, DA on Poi, Shimakaze or Ayanami is still viable vs sturdy bosses. Cut-ins are good for specific situations but they aren't everything.

>You are the one who didn't read carefully.
No, it was you.
Why the fuck did you even mention "just Akizuki gun"? It has zero relevance to my posts. Akizuki gun is important precisely because of double attack and I explicitly stated that.
Any DD can perform both AACI and DA with Akizuki gun + main gun + Air Radar. Without Akizuki gun, it's impossible to combine AACI and DA. Okay, you can do that with main gun + HA + FD but you receive terrible AACI which only shoots down 2 planes and has low trigger rate.

why do people seem to be so certain that Akizuki will be a drop at this event?

>>13825551

>>13825450
>All I've heard is that fit guns increase damage dealt.
It was just one guy who said that few times but never responded when asked for source. Why the fuck do you even bring this up? If I claim once a week that fit guns increase armor will you also consider it to be valid theory?

Fit guns are barely relevant to CLs. Fit guns are important for BBs because they're damage dealers in Suijou and have low accuracy in general. CLs are just there for branching and they never had problems with accuracy. Most of people use CA guns on CLs and don't notice any problems.

>And I still think it's ultimately a waste to upgrade 35.6cm battleship guns, but to each his own.
How can you think it's a waste when upgrading 35.6 up to +6 is free and there's no difference in damage between almost free 35.6 and very expensive 41cm or insanely expensive 46cm most of the time? You can upgrade 35.6 immediately while upgrading 46cm needs fuckload of luck and screws. Upgrading 41cm is also rather hard, Mutsu aren't that common. BB guns are one of the first things you should upgrade but guns other than 35.6 are hard to upgrade at first and they don't really offer much boost compared to 35.6. Not to mention 41cm and 46cm give accuracy penalty to Kongous which are main BBs thanks to their lower cost while having just enough firepower and armor for almost all situations.

Upgrading to max is an end goal but benefit is very small compared to required cost so one shouldn't concern himself with that for long months. Upgrading AP Shell to +4 costs nothing, upgrading to +9 is a pain. +5 makes no sense, it's better to stop at +4 and focus on other equipment.

Upgrading 35.6 could only be considered a waste if you got your first Akashi at HQ110 or something like that and are sitting at 300k all with a thousand of screws. So, never.

>Though come to think of it, 41cms are a waste too, so I'll remove that too.
Wait, are you the pastebinfag?

>>13825551
In my case im not certain. But when they have no problem with introducing a second AA DD then it wouldnt be a problem to add Akizuki to drop list.

>>13825482
You get multiple 35.6 every day just doing quests or grinding 3-2-1/4-3/5-1. 41cm are a pain to get but still possible with World 4 chain and 3-3.
Holding out until you get Bisko is utterly retarded. But yes, keeping a few 41cm is a good idea.

>>13825513

No shit. But thanks for source.

>>13825567
No, the event is already going on. How come you haven't cleared E-4 and gotten her already?

What kind of ships is AA more important on? Carriers, because fighters use it, BBs, due sanshiki, or DD/CLs because of AACI? Or something else? It's hard grinding for ships that increase AA in modernization.

>>13825595
AA is useless outside of AA cut-in.

>>13825595
Don't put sanshiki on BBs.

>>13825595
The way ship anti-air works is random. A random ship will be randomly assigned to an enemy fighter slot and there's a 50% chance they will shoot down a random number of planes depending on your AA stat.

Long story short, ship AA isn't very reliable. It's good to have but you can't count on it.

>>13825600
>AA is useless outside of AA cut-in.
nice meme

>>13825595
>Carriers, because fighters use it
Re-read that part carefully.

>>13825595
Carriers first because they're useless at chuuha so you should try minimazing damage from opposin air strike. DDs next because they are fragile.

>>13825595
Max the AA for the ships you put in your fifth slot.
I think they get a random chance to shoot down planes when they get attacked by planes.

>>13825595
BB because theirs is quite high.

>>13825595
Just max the highest level girl that doesn't have it already. You'll get everyone eventually.

>>13825545
>No, my post wasn't purely for new players, it was also talking about priorities in general.
Then you should have made that clearer.

>What a shitty argument. If you used your brain you would know why upgrading 12.7 is a good idea. Or if read my post to which you're replying but rest of your comments suggest you failed at that. Normal 12.7 are the only DD guns worth upgrading outside of obvious Akizuki guns. And I'm saying that as someone with a couple of upgraded 12.7 B. A shame we only learned about accuracy boosts later.
Well excuse me if I don't bother with destroyer guns. I have 6 Akizuki guns (5 max, the 6th at +8) and I've found that I hardly ever fucking use them. Sometimes I wonder why I even upgraded them at all. Well maybe if due to gun accuracy counting for more than radar accuracy they give more accuracy then T22 surface radars kai 4 when both are at max. But I digress. The point is even WITH the extra accuracy and firepower, upgraded vanilla 12.7cms are shit.

>Not everyone likes all the lucky monsters, not everyone likes to depend on cut-ins.
Well, okay. There's always this group of people who prefer double attack and think cut-ins suck. But I've also noticed that they're the minority, no matter where I go.

>Why the fuck would you even consider something so shitty?
It was the only other possibility I could think of.

>Irrelevant to what I was saying. Events don't consist of solely the last map.
If you mean the easier bosses, they're even more irrelevant because you can just slap a couple of normal 10cms or 12.7cms against such bosses and it'll still work.

>Plus, DA on Poi, Shimakaze or Ayanami is still viable vs sturdy bosses.
Only if they crit, which doesn't say much about their utility. Even Poi with 2 Akizuki guns at +9 or max can only do 213 damage per hit. It's just not enough.

(cont)

>Cut-ins are good for specific situations but they aren't everything.
As far as events are concerned, they are, because said specific situations are that significant. Last maps of events usually eat up half the total resources you spend on clearing, if not more. Veterans may not be as concerned but they matter especially to newer players.

>Why the fuck did you even mention "just Akizuki gun"? It has zero relevance to my posts. Akizuki gun is important precisely because of double attack and I explicitly stated that.
Because air radars on DDs are just a waste of space. Night battle gear is better, if you have them (and he has). And double attack is shit.

>Any DD can perform both AACI and DA with Akizuki gun + main gun + Air Radar. Without Akizuki gun, it's impossible to combine AACI and DA. Okay, you can do that with main gun + HA + FD but you receive terrible AACI which only shoots down 2 planes and has low trigger rate.
See above.

>>13825558
>It was just one guy who said that few times but never responded when asked for source. Why the fuck do you even bring this up? If I claim once a week that fit guns increase armor will you also consider it to be valid theory?
I thought there was already a test but it was dismissed for not enough samples or something.

>Fit guns are barely relevant to CLs. Fit guns are important for BBs because they're damage dealers in Suijou and have low accuracy in general. CLs are just there for branching and they never had problems with accuracy. Most of people use CA guns on CLs and don't notice any problems.
Well okay, then don't bother. But I'm certain there'll be some effect that will be significant enough later on.

>>13825665
>Well excuse me if I don't bother with destroyer guns
I just waste my free daily craft on 12.7s if there's nothing specific that I want or can afford. Fully upgraded 12.7s are *the* shit.

Having gone through autumn '14 and winter '15 with suijou butai, I just don't think battleship guns are that important to upgrade early on. But like I said, upgrade them if you want. Same thing applies to him too; he can upgrade them if he wants since I'm sure I'm in the minority this time.

>Upgrading to max is an end goal but benefit is very small compared to required cost so one shouldn't concern himself with that for long months. Upgrading AP Shell to +4 costs nothing, upgrading to +9 is a pain. +5 makes no sense, it's better to stop at +4 and focus on other equipment.
Not true. Even if you just upgrade the guns to +6 combined with a +5 AP shell (or 1 gun with +6 and one with +5 with a +6 AP shell) you get an extra 9 firepower. +5/+5/+4, +5/+4/+5 or +4/+4/+6 gives just 8 firepower.

Love means nothing when your fleet sinks due bad ships.

>>13826138
Your fleet is not going to sink if you don't use kai2 ships.

>>13826127
It's untenable. If I don't upgrade the girls with the good stats, I can neither get good equipment for, nor upgrade the good equipment for the girls I do like.

Which one gets it ?

>>13826156
Do you have Yamashiro Kai ni? If no, give it to Fusou. If yes, give it to Fusou.

>>13826156
None, and you're missing a medal.

>>13826144
Just find the right balance

>>13826156
Fusou.

>>13826156
The only answer is Fusou.

/jp/ let's see your numbers. Do you expect to succeed, struggle, or fail?

>>13826220
Despite my low numbers, I expect to succeed. I started last event with less than 30k each, 350 buckets, absolutely no essential equipment/ships, and still managed to beat all maps and farmed about 80% of what I wanted.

I'm much more prepared now. Might not be able to farm everything and beat all maps on hard, though, but since it's my second event, I'm fine with a medium difficulty.

>>13826156
Neither, get Yamashiro to level 80 instead.

Oh and you need 4 medals.

>>13826220
I expect to clear it on hard but I don't know if I should focus on getting fuel, ammo, or both.

>>13826220
I started last week.
Is this event going to mean anything to me, or should I just keep leveling?

>>13826254
Do the event. You'll get a shit ton of rare drops you'd normally get much later.

>>13826220
Medium. I'll be fine.

>>13826220
How did your bauxite get so low?

>>13826220
I just need to kai 2 another pair of torpedo sluts to max another quint torpedo.

>>13826220
Last event was my first and managed to clear on hard, I know it was an easy event but my ship list looks miles better than it did for the last one, so hopefully I can repeat.

>>13826258
Cool, thanks.

I cleared Hard with a little less than this last event, and I got all the drops I really wanted and more. I'm done grinding for now so I'm pretty damn confident.

>>13826156
The one you like the most.

>>13826220
Going to try a mix of Hard/Medium. Should be fine, i hope.

>>13826266
I sent it all into LSC hell after the last event and never bothered getting any of it back until a couple weeks ago. I expect to have 60k for the event, which will hopefully be more than enough to clear and farm.

>>13826254
Get fuel, you use it for resupplying and repairing. It's the resource that is consumed the most.
Take it easy and don't rush in the event. You will only be able to do the first couple of maps, but be careful to not waste your time anyway.

>>13826286
Damn nigga, what expeditions do you run? That's a lot of ammo.

>>13826297
I've been running 2 5/6 and 38 for a while now, Was below 100 buckets a few weeks ago so 2 spam inflated my ammo

Is the best way to grind transports quickly to send to 2-2 without CV and go for the 3-4 transport composition nodes? Just finished the first weekly and kind of want to get the screws from the 1-5 quest before the week ends.

Should I use a torp setup or doble attack on Ayanami Kai Ni and Kitakami Kai Ni? My KTKM has 41 luck.

>>13826321
I do enough 4-3 on my DDs to cover for the transport weeklies passively.

>>13826220
I expect to start the event on hard, clear two maps, put off the rest until the last day, do the third event on medium, then try and rush down 4-6 on easy but fail because I run out of time.

Just like all the other events I've ever done.

>>13826326
Torp only when over 50 luck,or you're gonna have a Torres time

>>13826220
please gib bauxite.

>>13826334
Jesus TTK, how often do your ships get Taiha'd?

Can KTKM use torp cut-in with a minisub?

>>13826330
Yeah I did a shit ton of 4-3 this week to kai ni fubuki so I can get the 10cm + AAFD before the event. Unfortunately I hadn't gotten the prereq to the 50 transports done yet so I still need them. Too late for me to grind out 50 transports from 4-3 in one day.

>>13826334
What a rough life, man. Please resolve yourself to get all the trophy drops, at least.

>Even mentioning the word "medium"

AHAHAHAHA

>>13826334
>Just like all the other events I've ever done
>150 slots
No one can be this bad. The game is completely manageable with just 85 girls with good equipment.

>>13826355
In the 2 event I've done, I think I've only cleared one map on Medium. All the others were Easy or Hard.

>>13826350
Nobody can use torp cutin using the minisub slot. The minisub itself counts towards nothing except opening torpedo and torpedo stat. Her other equipment (2xyellow, 2xred, 2xblue, or a medley of all) will determine whether or not she double-attacks, cuts in, or does neither.

>>13826364
Found the poorfag

>>13826289
I spent 3.6k bauxite for Spring 2015 E-1 to E-6 Hard. I know, Spring 2015 wasn't that difficult, but bauxite is never your constraining resource. Events require fuel/ammo for sorties and support fleets, and fuel/steel for repairs. The only way you lose bauxite is through lost planes, and if you're losing that many planes, then you're not securing air superiority, which means you aren't taking advantage of daytime double attacks/CIs. 48k is plenty.

>>13826220
I slacked off, will have to take it easy for the first 5 maps.

>>13826355
Did you get that wrecked on medium last event or what and now you're gonna try this event only on easy? ;^)

>>13826370
I already bought 2 rings and 1 expansion and I still only have 85 except for girls who need their equipment taken away.

>>13826378
Sorry, you're just a monster then.

>>13826382
I don't see the point in keeping more than what you need. It's better if you focus on the few you like by giving them good equipment and more luck than keeping girls you'll never use in sortie.

>>13826378
>I already bought 2 rings and 1 expansion
High roller right here, let this guy into the Admirals Club.

>>13826220
98k/52k/65k/48k/435 buckets
Should be enough for all hard, though I'm getting 100k steel and 80k ammo for the start just to be sure.

I would really want to get the radar from the Myoukou quest before the event, but to do so I need to do one of the quests with Uzuki in it. What's the best way to farm her, 2-5?

>>13826485
5-4 or during the event.

>>13826220
I think I'm, going to have to lay off my training regimen if If want to have enough resources to even take on easy mode. My light ships really aren't ready though.

I'm more ready that I was before the last event. I didn't even have a 4th fleet last time.

>>13826490
Shit I didn't even think about during the event. It would be leaving it up to chance but honestly it might be my best bet. Thanks anon.

>>13826497
You'll be more than fine for easy mode unless your ships are shit.

>>13826364
As I've said, I don't start the bulk of the event until the last day.

For the rest of you, that's obviously not my battle fleet, it's low-level destroyers PvP festival.

>>13826220
I'm bored. Why can we have event after event like other games

>>13826510

Because there aren't an infinite number of ships to add.

Hopefully they DO drop. They are the only two LSC exclusive ships I need.

Taihou is never going to be a drop, gotta keep her in LSC or people will stop doing it.

Being the filthy lazy gaijin I am, I use KCV to play Kancolle.
Is there any way to get rid of these black parts when using it? 3.8 is like the newest version but the older ones didn't have this issue.

Are you using yuubari's fork?

He warned you about the dragons.

>>13826663
Nigger, LSC is far cheaper than farming fucking 6-1. Besides, it's like a 0.5% chance.

>>13826681
Yeah, that's what I'm using.

What's the best version then?

>>13826702
I'm still using yuubari's fork v3.8.0 rev.7

I would recommend you downgrade back to the version that worked for you.

>>13826220
I'm doomed aren't I? I've been focusing on grinding up enough girls to do the event this entire time, should I stop and stockpile now that I have a decent-sized fleet + equipment ready? All I have left to really grind is a Fubuki (61), Hiei (57), and maybe an Abukuma (41).

>>13826220

>>13826220

I should probably be fine unless they troll us with gauge regen.

I'm doomed, yeah?

Anyone have a certain abyssal that always shits on them? I swear Ru and Tsu are always out to fucking get me. 4-5 is a nightmare due to Ru disabling my CVs on first shot or just knocking someone to red on C. If the event has a Ru boss I'm completely fucked.

Ta and Ru, their stats arent that crazy, but they hit like they were a-150 with 51cm quads, +15 t32 and the evasion of 13 Yukikazes, I really want to rape them and hope they dont enjoy it.

>>13826220
Depnding on how long this events gonna be,I'm gonna still stockpile the first week or two and then try on hard. Not diving headfirst into it is also part of my strategy.

>>13826819
don't worry, we can do easymode and still feel accomplished about ourselves and our kawaii boat girls

>>13825665
+10 firepower on DD is hardly shit. It makes big difference. Average DD with 12.7 has the same shelling power as torp Beaver. Enough to sink Late Models. Max 12.7 are only one point worse than max 12.7 B while costing exactly ZERO screws as compared to minimum 10.
DD guns are something that gives very noticeable boost to their shelling power. Maybe you're one of those guys who only knows how to subslave but I like doing for example 2-2 with DDs and upgraded guns matter a lot.

>But I've also noticed that they're the minority, no matter where I go.
There are also people who like Yuudachi, Hamakaze, 6thDesDiv or whatever else out of ~60 DDs more than Beaver/Hatsushimo. Everyone likes Shigure but you can only use one.

>Only if they crit
Torp cut-in without crit is also weak as shit vs Suika. I saw some anons whose Shigure dealt single digit damage with torp cut-in back during Winter. Once it was zero damage because Suika had 9HP and the cut-in failed to penetrate her.

>Because air radars on DDs are just a waste of space.
T13 Kai increases AA, AACI chance and gives slight boost to evasion. Not a bad equipment. I almost always use AACI on my DDs and never have problems with finding space for yasen gear.

>And double attack is shit.
Nope.

>>13825675
I noticed huge difference in performance of my BBs when I switched to +8 35.6. They were fucking useless resource hogs before but with upgraded guns all the battles were Unlimited AP cut-in Works.

BB guns have different fp bonus than AP Shells. You should stop at +4 for AP Shells if you have other stuff to upgrade.

>I mean the list of recommended stuff for him to upgrade. Jesus Christ.
Sorry, that sounded a bit like him.

>>13825690
What if one already has ~10 Quads at +4?

>>13825691
Don't be sorry, it was (is?) a nice discussion.

>>13826824
Ka's stats aren't even good but she still manages to torpedo shit all over the place.

How many runs have you done last time? I had way over 100 for both E4 and E5.

Thinking about doing (mostly) medium this time around but I dunno if the steel reserves are going to be enough to get me to the end and be enough for farming.

I'm gonna clear it on Hard, just have to grind remaining 28 levels for Abukuma. Farming isn't much of an issue because I have everyone except for Musashi, Bismarck, Taihou and Z3.

>>13826254
You're in better spot than I was during Fall (started two weeks before the start) and I managed to get Eugen. Focus on training your ships for ~first week (event is surely gonna last three weeks), get Kai'd and modernized fleet and only then attempt the event. You should clear first two or three maps. And you will get a lot of valuable ships. Subs, Hiryuu, Cranes, maybe Unryuus, Big Seven, Mogamis, trophy DDs.

>>13826264
Pussy.

>>13826321
Yes. You can clear the weekly in few hours. With rotation, two might be enough.

>>13826326
Ayanami with Skilled Lookouts, KTKM only as flag.

2/4/38 for you.

>>13826824
Ru elite on 3-3 if I don't bring Hiei/Kongou. That cunt always crits someone. Also, surprisingly Nu flag. CV Oni/Hime are a given but that's to be expected from my wife's counterpart.

>>13826928
Why only medium?

>>13827024
goddamn captcha

>>13827024
>Why only medium?
General lack of full remodels and crappy equips. I might dabble in hard if initial reports are favourable.

>>13827057
In that case I don't understand why you stockpiled so much. Soft cap is enough for clearing any event if you have the ships ready. Farming is a different story but it's better to focus on doing Hard and getting exclusive rewards. You could have gotten multiple ships to Kai Ni and still be over 100k.

Flagship Ri. She must've been an Ooi in her past life, because every time my KTKM runs into one she gets fucked.

>>13827079
Ri flag is so mysterious. Most often she can't even deal scratch damage but every once in a while she'll wreck your carrier or sometimes even a scratched BB.

>>13827069
He cleared 5-5 with that fleet?

>>13827083
But not with S rank for obvious reasons.

>>13827069
At least it wasn't a megane.

>>13827083
Married ships have godly accuracy so it's possible.

>>13827086
Why did he even attempt getting S rank at boss if Yuubari was taiha'd? No way she kills the sub without crit.

Why the fuck doesn't Harusame have summer art?
I'm so mad.

>>13827122
She has betrayed us.

>>13827132
But she's still cute so we should forgive her.

>>13827135
Yeah, she and her hat are adorable.

>>13827068
Farming, and after event LSC... though I probably should be focusing on leveling more so than getting those big ships.

>>13827122
>>13827148
Fuck off, newfags. Nobody care about her during midway and never will.

>>13827122
But she has summer art.

>>13827168
I love her feet.

>>13827158
Through unlucky circumstances she is actually the one I care the most about.

Didn't notice her normal and kai art were different at first so I forgot to get normal one. Noticed it only when the kai got updated. So ever since I've been hoping to get a new one to send out to get hurt.

>B-rank jingle changed
When did that happen?

OK, final 3-2-A time, gotta grind those Maruyu. Please don't be dead, guys.

>>13827174
What? You get the normal damaged art too when you damage the kai version.

>>13827148

>>13827168
What happened to her hat?

>>13827256
She remodeled it.

>>13827264
I thought remodels were supposed to be upgrades.

>>13827158
Fuck you, I loved her since day 0, fuck off.

>>13827186
It did?

>>13826220
Can't wait for August. I can finally play the game.
All event has been easy since Ironbottom to me to be honest.

The fuck happened here... also Perfect S and the first time Yamato didn't grab MVP.

>>13826220
just fuck my shit up

i hope regen doesnt come back

What's the minimum recipe for Bismarck? I want to try for her but I don't want to use a lot of ammo/fuel

>>13827469

>>13827469

You should do 5/6/7/3/20 anyway, the increased drop rate is very noticeable.

But you should hold off until after the event regardless. Bisko isn't going anywhere.

>>13827469
it's going to take a lot anyways, just 4/6/7/2/20 and pretend you don't want her

>>13827488
She'll be replaced in LSC by Vittorio Veneto.

>>13827469
3.5/4.5/4.5/2/20 but the chance is non existent and it would be dozens of time more efficient to use 4672 or 4673.

>>13827469
9999/9999/9999/9999/100

>>13827422
We all know Yamato is shit.

>>13827511
Don't you mean 999 devmats?

Is there a pastebin with info about what to upgrade with screws and the stats they give? Because there should be one.

>>13827576
there is, anon's guide at the top in the OP

>>13827576
Square root of stars the equipment has, so you should upgrade to 6 or 9, max if you want it to look cool.

>>13827584

that guide is shit

>>13827469
5/6/7/3/20 gives the highest chance of success per attempt, per devmat, per ammo and per steel. It also adds some goodies like Taihou and CVs to the table over 5/6/7/2

Longest week of my life, when did the leaks of past events arrive? 1 week, days before the event? I cant remember, can we expect something like that again?

Will they ever make this available again?

>>13827617
During maintenance.

>>13827619
No.

>>13827608
huh, i guess it is. haven't looked at it in probably over a year, the wiki page is much more comprehensive

http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Akashi's_Improvement_Arsenal

>>13827584
I second this anon >>13827608

The guide doesn't say what stats do those boost or explains why to upgrade them. I'm saying this because it's often asked what to upgrade and everybody just replies a lot of stuff that end up confusing people and they don't exactly tell what do those upgrade either. So a pastebin only for Akashi upgrades would be nice.

>>13827619

Give them the best eq, that mean
-max quints
-max bisko guns
-max akiduki guns
-+searchlight

>>13827643
>1Bismarck
More like 1CA.
Upgrade your 20.3cm (3) and (2) for CA and CLT.

>>13827643

It's more important to level your main fleet's BB guns than your escort fleet's stuff. Two shelling phases with 4 BBs with maxed out guns will kill all of the chaff, meaning your escort fleet can focus on the boss and not need to be upgraded all the way.

I'd rather have 2 enemies up and default weapons than playing the lottery with 4 enemies up.

>>13827643
I don't have Bisco. I thought you needed OTOs for CLs. I don't have enough FD for Ducky's gun and why torps if I use a double attack setup on my DDs and my KTKM isn't high luck? This is why I think we need a pastebin with that info besides the shitty one in the OP.

>>13827708
Don't listen to him, Bismarck guns are only good on Bismarck. Upgrade as many BB guns as you can because they suffer the most accuracy penalty in combined fleet. Akizuki guns are a huge investment and you're better off upgrading CA guns and a searchlight in the meantime. OTO is cheap and just as good as 20.3(2).

>>13827708
What is love?

>>13827708
>I thought you needed OTOs for CLs.
Why would you think that? OTO are useless secondary guns which can't be fit either because they are foreign.

>>13827724
Upgraded 38cm Kai give more accuracy to Kongous than upgraded 35.6cm.
The only reason why you should upgrade BB guns other than Bisko guns is because they are limited and hard to obtain in the first place.

>>13827708
Obviously it depends on how you equip your boats. Everyone play differently. But generally max the equipments that you will use. If you are going to run hotels over monkeys or kusou class in combined fleet then there is no point in upgrading fit guns since they get no bonus for them.

Also you rarely miss in night battle so the important thing for CLT is +firepower. All those kitakami choke video you see could be prevented with max out firepower guns or torpedos. Apparently there is also unconfirmed report of 20.3(3) giving night battle bonus so who knows.

>>13827724
Accuracy penalty is placebo to high level ships. Marry those girl.

>>13827708
>I thought you needed OTOs for CLs.
No. 2 points of armor is a really negligible boost compared to the 4 points of accuracy a pair of 15.5cm secondaries give them.

SMASHED LADS

>>13827741
You can upgrade OTO

>>13827737
>Apparently there is also unconfirmed report of 20.3(3) giving night battle bonus so who knows.
Source.
The only night bonus I know is 20.3 guns giving accuracy to CAs.

>>13826636
>Kancolle
>small c

>>13827734
CL guns do not receive negative penalties, especially a secondary. BB guns receive the highest penalty to unfit guns, which is why it is better to use their fit guns with max upgrades or a prototype.

>>13827746
You can upgrade 20.3 (2) and (3) as well and they're useful on more ships.

>>13827746
If you can afford to upgrade them then by all means, but otherwise you're just fine with yellow 15.5cm.
