On closer inspection, her clothes make no sense.

>>14016861
Looks fine to me.

>>14016873
They should've at least doubled the drop rate for hard mode. Removing the ship lock after clearing the whole event works too.

>>14016887
They should've at least doubled the drop rate. Removing the ship lock after event clear works too.

>>14016902
Or just let people that get the hard-only medal change the difficulty of maps after they have beaten them.

Anyone else considering ringing Shoukaku? Depending on how cute her k2 CG art is.

Do I need AACI for E-6 medium?

I'm getting my shit kicked before I even reach the boss.

>>14016902
>>14016906
>I want both the e-peen medal and get rewarded for it with easier drops!
you are the true kusos

>castrated OP
no thx

>>14016910
Not sure if you need it, but it definitely helped for me while I was clearing it on hard.

>>14016912
Make no sense how kuso mode can be S rank easier and has almost the same drop rate.

>>14016910
Fleet and comp?

>>14016902
Easier farming access is a lot better than shitty drop rate. Spring E-4 farming was comfy as hell.

>>14016910
I farmed hard with Maya AACI and route support.
Maya AACI/DA is good enough to double tap CVhime and BBhime in hard. It is an easy map.

I hate you so much Ne-class
So very much

>>14016917
Devs are too lazy to change rates for specific difficulty. Probably a flat one for the entire map.

>>14016848
How are her tits so huge?

http://strawpoll.me/5344969

>>14016910
Maya-sama was the MVP of my E-6 medium. She's a godsend against Wo.

>>14016919
Day S ranks all day on hard. Didn't even need a full powered fleet.

>>14016919
Clearing the event on hard on the 4th day is suffering.

Cleared the event in 2 days flat, even got Roma for the clutch.

>>14016941
Statsfags confirmed to be a minority.

>>14015930

>>14016910
I stupidly locked Maya AND Bucky to e-1/ e-2. I used a fire director AACI setup on Akatsuki, and I was able to make it through, so just stick that on one of your escort DDS. Sparkle your ships beforehand if you're still having trouble.

Next event better not have this event's DD, except gold.

>>14016937
It was too easy to be honest.
Pretty much 100% encounter boss rate and you can sortie with paperboats. Current event has just right the difficulty but the drop rate is literally worse than hitler.

>>14016955
Nice meme, my friend

>>14016971

Why is there two threads?

Go back to posting about Bismarck, Prinz.

Ah yeah, time for a permanent spot in Tokyo Express.

>>14017022
How many ABKM should one keep?
Ex21, Ex37, Ex38 and sometimes Ex40
2should be enough right?

Farming E-5 for forever, why won't Hiryuu and Souryuu come to me. I got a bunch of Kagas and Akagis.

>>14017059
Really only 1 since she takes a blue print. Just use one of the Cheetos.

>>14017059
Is it even worth the blueprint and leveling cost?

>>14017059
If you have the slots, 3 is ideal. I'm not even going to sortie her ever because I hate her that much.

Abukuma is so fucking loud like holy shit

>>14017059
2-3 if you have a bunch of spare blueprints and daihatsu

>>14017076
Considering she can torpedo during preemptive strike while being a CL, yes

>>14017089
I meant having multiple copies of her.

>>14016189
Kuso mode. Even if I had the HQ level required for hard mode, I certainly don't have the equipment or girls.

>>14017068
I have like 15 Souryuu and 5 Hiryuu as drops from E-5 before getting my first Yuu.

>>14017107
Whoops, that was meant for >>14016819

Is there a way to check my girls' morale without using KCV?

>>14017114
Calculate the morale in your head.

>>14017108
What difficulty? I'm on Easy and all I get are tones and fusous.

>>14017114
No, that's the only reason to use KCV.

>>14017114
No, but at least you won't get you banned.

>>14017109
Accuracy bonus from upgrading your guns helps a lot in combined fleet maps. Other than that just use fit guns and pray.

>kcv gets you banned
ebin meme

>>14017124
Well I'm already using fit guns, so there's nothing I can really do without Akashi. Already praying.

Just got Hiryuu, what should I expect?

>>14017143
Smiles and optimism gone.

>>14017143
The best CV. But seriously, she's the only good one and Souryuu, everyone else suck so much personality wise.

>>14017158
Kaga is the strongest CV with 46 plane slot.

>>14017140
Post your fleet setup.

>>14017164
Yeah, she's very fun to use. Very lively.

>>14017166

Under what circumstances is it acceptable to scrap your Mutsuki/Fubuki class for slot space?

>>14017188
Buy some slots, retard.

>>14017182
>non-drei Bismarck in escort fleet
Don't do that

>>14017188
Pretty much when you finish all their quests.

>>14017188
Since you needed to ask, none.

>>14017188
You can be sure that Kikuzuki special routing will be repeated.
Feel free to scrap her.

>>14017188
Don't be a Jew and but some slots.

>>14017182
What's with the potato DDs? Why is your BB flag? Did you put your FCF on your BB? You either use 2BB1CV2CVL1CA or 2BB3CV1CA. Non-drei Bismarck are worse than Kongou classes in escort fleet. CAV is not that useful, you might as well level any bobship to Kai Ni and replace the CAV.

>>14017196
His lack of good cut-in ships is a worse offense than Bisko. I cleared kuso-modo with a bongo in the escort.

>>14017196
Well what would you suggest instead? I haven't actually used Bismarck yet, but I was using Kongou before because I have no high-level CA.

>>14017205
Can you beat easy mode without cut-in ships?

>>14017210
Yes, but you need to optimize your fleet first if you want to have an easier time with it.

>>14017210
Maybe, but having consistent CI means you have a better chance at getting a good RNG roll and clearing the map, and saving yourself a lot of time and headaches.

>>14017204
OK, I swapped out Ryuujou for Hyuuga, put Chitose in as flag. I can't really do anything about the DDs, because all my DDs are lower level than those and I have no Kai Ni DDs.

>>14017224
Do you have a Yukikaze at least? Though to be fair I found DD to be utterly useless for closing the deal. A touch from the boss and they go into the red.

>>14016918
Primary fleet with Kaga, Akagi, crane sisters, Kongo and Yamato

Escort fleet with Jintsuu Kai, Haruna, Poi, Shigure, Maya Kai and Myoko Kai.

My Jintsuu is horribly underleveled though.

How many Reppuu's should I have? I only got 5 and 3 Shidens. I lose nearly all my bombers before I even get to the boss.

>>14017204
>2BB3CV
That doesn't redirect to Y?

>>14017226
I do not. Would Shimakaze or Amatsukaze work as supplements? I'd have to level them up to Kai though.

>>14017232
Not really. They can't do the big bursts of damage for getting kills. Looks like you need to quad stack Myoukou with torps and pray to the RNG.

>>14017093
Yes, definitely.

>>14017236
Except all my Myoukou-class are level 1. Besides, that's not going to help me avoid Double Wo.

>>14017242
Double Wo is the easier path.

>level 1
You can get any ship heavier than CL to at least 40 or so in a day with 3-2A.

>>14017231
I ran with 2BB4CV. Got directed to Y maybe 3 times but that's something you can live with

Finally.
This week was the worst but now it has all been worth it.
Never give up my fellow TTKs

>>14017254
Congrats. How many runs if I may ask.

>>14017261
424. I was about to quit before she made it all worth it.

>>14017273
You have some abysmal luck. Other people got her in under 50 runs, it's crazy you break the 400 mark.

>>14017273
You are one persistent bastard. That's over nine times the runs I needed. How many devmats did you end up with and what route and composition did you use?

>>14017254
Congrats. Got her clearing E-5 and I didn't even want her. Meanwhile Umikaze still nowhere in sight.

Wish we could trade so I could give her to some TTK who would actually appreciate her.. She's taking up a ship slot.

>>14017251
I meant avoid getting murdered by them. I'll try levelling Myoukou some during the week maybe.

Did manage to actually make it to the boss this time, in spite of being routed through the BB node.

>>14017273
Jesus christ. I got her on my first clear, and I did not appreciate how lucky that was until I saw that.

>>14017283
I did north route 1 CAV, CA, 2 DD, CLT, CV.
Got 800 dev mats in all, will be handy when I get to LSC after the event.

>>14017281
I guess it was revenge for me getting Mizuho while clearing E-3.

>>14017232
Yes, Shimakaze is a lot better than either of them.

>>14017229
Use the aircalc to check how much FP do you need for AS. Reppuu and Shiden Kai Ni are almost identical now with chevron ranks. Put bombers only in the biggest slot. Make sure you're going north if you aren't already.

>>14017242
>>14017291
Are you using route support?

>>14017300
How did you not run out of buckets?

>>14017273
How many Yuus did you get?

>>14017309
I am currently 100% NEET and did Exp. 2 and 5 all day every day.
I left my room max 2 hours a day.
I don't recommend emulating this.

>>14017317
>Exp. 5
I meant Exp. 4 of course.

>>14017317
Roma better suck your dick on demand after all you sacrificed for her.

>>14017308
Yes. It usually fires, too, it just almost never does anything worthwhile.

>>14017308
>Make sure you're going north if you aren't already.

Oh wow, I actually wasn't.

I just looked at the fleet comp and noped as soon as I saw 2 wos.

Turns out south is actually a lot harder ahahahah...

>>14017325
You'll eventually get through it, just hope that the BB in your escort fleet actually APCIs the Wo Kai.

Are there any E5-G farming setups? Thinking of using 3CVs 2BBs 1SS

>>14017349

Can you even get Akashi from E4C if you have her already?

>>14017300
Did you run any support?

Doesn't 46cm guns hit enemy planes?Why isn't there any AA animation of them?

Please stop sending me to B, RNG. It's bad enough that you decided that passing J is not allowed anymore, but at least give me the false hope of being able to reach the boss.

>>14017382
Okay, next run you'll go to Y.

How many CVL confirm J to M.
I've been sent to Y so many times.
This has got to be the most frustrating event.

>>14017402
Only 3 (BB + CV) allowed.
Also, I noticed that I never went to Y when I had 1CL2CA3DD in my escort fleet, even though I had 1CA2BB2CV1CVL in main fleet. When I had fBB in escort I got redirected to Y twice or thrice.

>>14017384
RNG pls, I run the CVL comp, you can't send me there.

>>14017407
>twice or thrice
Hah, I've been at last dance for 5 days now.
If my memory serves me right I've hit Y over 15 times.

>>14017409
Ah, that's why you can't get past J.
Out of curiosity - how many CVLs and how many bombers on which slots?

>>14017413
Anon, this is unhealthy. Can I help you in any way? If you don't have Bisko, just use three cut-in DDs. I recommend Maya in main fleet too.

>>14017416
I do have Bisko.
My fleet has both equipment and levels. But that doesn't mean anything in the face of RNG.
I've used 150k Fuel already and I plan to use the remaining 90k. Hard mode or I'm not finishing this event.

>>14017420
Sounds like you have better fleet than me then. Stay strong. I support your determination.

>>14017416
Oh please.
I ran a CVL composition and got to boss everytime as long as I got sent E instead of B.

And B again, I'm starting to loose hope on the whole clearing today thing.

>>14017416
I got through J while chipping just fine so it's not the girls fault. 2CVL1CV, 2 bombers in their biggest slots, rest are fighters for AS. Kaga's 46 slot more or less guarantees that she isn't a sitting duck at the boss and depending on my luck, or if I get send to M, at least one of my CVL or both are able to target someone too.

>>14017438
And of course I meant L and not M, my sanity shouldn't already be slipping that much.

>>14017420
Just go easy mode. Teruzuki is more important.

>>14017449
My pride doesn't allow that. If I don't clear hard mode then I won't claim Teruzuki.

>>14017454

To those who cleared E7 hard, how many times did you kill XY and how many resources did you use?

>>14017481
5-5
8-4

50k fuel 50k ammo 300-400 buckets. Pretty average

>2.93%

What's the most efficient type of boss support? Have yet to use it, but I think I need to now. Wiki seems to say Support Shelling, but doesn't spoonfeed me much besides saying to use 2 CVL's and 2 DD's. Should I just slap 2 hotels and just put the normal equip on them? And do I just slap reds unto my DD's? Doing E4 if that matters.

>>14017524
>farming blue background trophy DDs

>>14017536
I usually pump them full of radars. Not sure if it's just placebo, but they need every bit of acc buff they can get.

6 times in a row now. It's okay. Not like I wanted to get raped by Wo and choke at the Boss again anyway, but So might get annoyed by my constant visits.

Fuck. Last dance or not? Must be 1 fucking pixel...

>>14017556
Nope, you need more than 1 kill with that.

>>14017557
Well, zooming in on it...

>>14017542
It's actually Silver>Gold (normal>Kai), you pleb.

Anyone ringing ABKM?
Mine just hit 99.

>>14017576
When she hits 99, of course. Right now she's at 96, and in just a few thousand more xp she'll pass KTKM and Ooi. The age of CLT is over.

>>14017558
>>14017556
Holy shit, it fucking was. Good fucking job, girls!

fuck this map

>>14017611
ABKM STRONK

>>14017611
So you cleared the last dance on your first try? Congrats, but I hate you so much.

Rabaul base here.
Did they still not fix the server problems?
Still getting catbombed.

>>14017618
THANK YOU, MEGA ABKM SAMA.
AND THANK YOU, EVERYONE ELSE IN BOTH FLEETS, SUPPORT FLEETS AND AT THE BASE. It was a fucking effort of everyone.


Fucking hell, I'm shaking a but. A damn game shouldn't have such effects.

>>14017620
I could feel this was my lucky run after an opening like this. Then they even S-ranked it for me.
No sparkle apart from what they picked up and on route support.

If I haven't managed to chip off another kill's worth by tonight then I'm giving up on the event. 20k fuel and steel and 100 buckets for one kill's worth of gauge damage is not an acceptable tradeoff. I'll have to hope that the Autumn event has an Akizuki-class drop.

>>14017627
Try clearing your cache. I'm getting perfect connection and I'm on Rabaul.

I've only been to the boss 2/10 times with full sparkling using surface fleet. Only 1 Hayasui barrel used. I've killed X and Y around 6 times. Should I just go back to carrier fleet?

>>14017576
Jesus fuck no. Can you imagine waking up every day to that disgusting voice?

>>14017640
Still getting catbombed.

>>14017632
>Fucking hell, I'm shaking a but. A damn game shouldn't have such effects.
It is because the current event is actually difficult compare to the last event which was disappointingly too easy and universally panned.

>>14017694
That was 'walk in the park' but this is 'requires the sacrifice of a newborn child'. What the hell's the point of the difficulty system if Easy is impossible without a full fleet of Kai Ni and Hard is nightmare mode? Why can't they just make Easy easy and Hard hard?

>>14017706
It is though.
E1 easy-->Easy
E4 easy-->Medium
E7 easy-->Hard

>>14017706
>What the hell's the point of the difficulty system
Easy mode has no ship lock. Big-ass difference.

>>14017706
E7 easy is really easy though.
Single BBhime, low AS requirement, easier red DD etcetc.
Any hard E7 fleet will easily smash E7 easy.

>>14017706
EOs aren't supposed to be completed by everyone.

>>14017706
That's because idiots on wikia arbitrarly used "easy medium hard" for the settings.
Remember that 甲乙丙 means 1st, 2nd and 3rd class, meaning that even　丙 could mean normal at best.

In fact, the devs advised new admirals to do the normal first instead of rushing the event so that they can clear the -first 2 maps-.

丙 isn't supposed to be really difficult, but it isn't a freebie either.

>>14017744
The thing is, I beat the last event with time and resources to spare, and I barely prepared for it. To go from that to stalling at the final hurdle is just frustrating. It's a massive jump in difficulty where a middling one would have sufficed.

>>14017716
Not really. Where it really matters (E-7) you can use all ships apart from E-5.

>>14017759
That's why devs announce in advance the type of the event.
Not only they mentioned it was a large scale event, but they also stated it was difficulty and warned TTK to have plenty resources and girls ready for that event.

There were tons of warnings about that, and it is your fault for not preparing for that event a month prior its beginning.

>>14017771
Still, then turned the difficulty knob one too many times. When it gets to pure RNG, it's not "difficult" anymore. Like, is winning the lottery difficult? No, but you can overcome it by repeating the same thing enough time.
Well, apart from those with some extreme luck like above

>>14017782
Ho don't get me wrong, I also agree E7 is a major bag of bullshit RNG, but that's really for 甲.

丙 is by far more manageable with the drastic stats drop of the enemy fleets. The RNG hell is vastly less aggravating in that difficulty setting, except the frigging compass at the start of the map.

>>14017771
Well I'll admit it's my fault for not having spent enough time grinding and stockpiling, but can you blame me? Spring 2015 is the only other event I made a serious attempt at and it was a cakewalk. Even though I knew it was going to be harder than that, I figured I would need double the stockpile I had before, not quintuple. I've already burned more on E-7 alone than I did on that whole event and I'm not even close to done.

Does logbook still work?

>>14017839
0.9.3 doesn't work for me, so I'm still using 0.9.2.

As hard as this event was, 甲E7 was at least manageable with a decently prepared fleet and enough resources. Sure, RNG can up your costs by twofold, but even that's within the realm of possibility for most TTK that have been playing for a bit.

I feel like the real bullshit of this event is the drop rates for event ships. I've had events where I've exhausted all my resources and had to wait for regen and expeditions to be able to finish the event, but that was always due to my own inadequate preparation, rather than the event.

This time, the event ships just won't drop no matter what I do, despite the fact that I had 290k in resources ahead of time just in case of bad farming. I've been down to nothing multiple times now. I'll keep trying till the event's over, but I'm starting to wonder if it's even worth it.

>>14017849
>the event ships just won't drop no matter what I do
Keep it up anon. You are almost there.

>>14017849
Event ship farming has always been bullshit, I don't understand why people are willing to put up with it.

Doing E-7 hard at least gave you a tangible measure of progress, even at the last dance, you could gauge how good or poor your fleet performed against RNG.

But event ship farming is just complete crapshoot.

>>14017849
the worst thing in that event is that all 3 drops are in hardly farmable maps, and only 1 of them can be dropped outside of boss node.

Umikaze is the most annoying one due to the yasen RNG crap.

>>14017883
>Event ship farming has always been bullshit
Event ship harming has never been this difficult.
In past events, they always drop in multiple nodes and is easily farmable maps
This time we are looking at E3, E4, E6 and E7.

>>14017864
Where did you get your Kazagumo from?

>>14017889
That's why you farm E-4 on easy then switch to hard to clear it.

How low is Mizuho drop chance?

>>14017899
This is also the first time we have 3 new ships that are drop only.

Last summer had the same amount of new ships, one less map and yet only 2 ships were drop only.

>>14017905
Pretty bad, but not nearly as bad as the other two.
That image with the exact db droprates should be somewhere in this thread or the last.

>>14017903
E6, I ran the south route with route support and she dropped from the boss node.
Took me 1week and 50k resources.
I ran it so much all my E3/E6 carriers and ABKM are 99 now.

>>14017905
She has highest drop rate among the 3 new ships.

>>14017909
I don't recall you have to go through as many nodes a possible in combined fleet mode before getting to boss node in past events either. This bullshit puts a huge strain on your resources.

This is what I think of E-8.
Fuck you, Tanaka.

I was told saiun with double chevron could increase chances of green T, is that true?

>>14017946
No.

Yukikaze pls stop getting hit

pls

what the fuck is wrong with you

>>14017955
Drill a hole in her

>>14016861
If you consider that she's basically fetish bait it'll start making more sense.

Why would you upgrade subs anyways?

>>14017980
You have U-511 Kai Ni

>>14017974
You've married one, but how does Teruzuki feel? Will she feel left out if she isn't getting that same love as her neesan?

>>14017992
I'll love her just as much, anon.

How do we fixed subs?
How do we get them back to their arpeggio and 5-3 heyday?
What went wrong?

>>14017999
Give them 90hp, more armor, and a supergravity canon.

>>14017999
With the advance of all those elite/FS late model DDs, we don't

>>14018007
That's no fun.

I wish waifu gets super gravity cannons, but only on one of them so no polygamy.

>>14017999
Give them the same stats as So-class

>>14017999

>>14017999
>How do we fixed subs?
We don't, they're fucked forever.
>How do we get them back to their arpeggio and 5-3 heyday?
See above.
>What went wrong?
Everything. Nips can't into subs.

Time to let the sanity go on E-8

>>14018015
At least it was easy to clear 5-3 with her

Where do I go to sparkle my own morale?

>>14018045

>MEGA ABKM SAMA @ position 6
Put her at flag or some irrelevant position like 3 or 4

Why can't these be Maruyus?

How do I efficiently farm Kazagumo? Does she drop on node Y E7 easy?

>>14018070
>efficiently farm Kazagumo
You don't. You just get lucky.

>>14018026
Feels like ABKM is the secret mvp of this event

>>14018070
E6 easy boss kills.

>>14018070
Don't bother, the drop rate in E7Y is complete shit.

>>14018080
Since everybody puts her in the first slot with torpedo cut-in she's bound to get a million boss kills.

>>14018070
>E7
>0.74%

>>14018095
He asked about easy, which it should be pointed out, is even worse.

Opening torpedo air strike+Route support+ABKM+Bisko Daytime Cutin all contribute to getting through pre boss nodes unscathed.

Trying to do the EOs before reset and I'm sitting here getting red over and over by these fucking ta's at 4-5. This shit is unbelievably annoying what the fuck? I remember getting 5 S runs in a row when this shit opened up and I can never remember what comp I ran to do it.

>>14018104
>Bisko Daytime Cutin
What loadout?

>>14018122
Ta is critting everyone left and right. I'm putting the final run till tomorrow because it's like, 10 fail runs in a row thanks to her.

>>14018122
>he didn't do it before the event
are you literally retarded?

>>14018125
The only (good) cut-in you get during the day is AP shell.

Prinz please. You have 2 +10 quints, 1 +6 quint, and a skilled lookout. I want out off this ride.

Am I ready for E7 hard?

>>14018150
Why do you even ask?

>>14018150
How the fuck do you end up with that ammo?

>>14018150
How do you have so much fuel with so little ammo.

>>14018150
Easily.
Did you get Kazagumo from E6 easy yet? Reminder to get first before clearing E6 hard. It is a hard life getting her from hard.

>>14018160
>>14018157
Crafted and leveled Musashi before the event

>>14018181
Yeah, got her when I cleared E6 on hard

>>14018185
>leveling ships

If this event taught me anything, it's that I really need to invest more in equipment upgrading.

Why live?

It fucking happened. I'm in a daze.
Video here: https://goo gl/dhb3LI
(Failed runs: NZoCaj)

Funny how Oigen doesn't even cut-in with lookouts despite replacing Myoukou/Choukai with her. I was worried that this would be my first failed event since Summer 2013, but Bisko's DA delivers.

>>14018208
How do you not clear E6?
It is a super easy map even in hard.

>>14018045
That's what you get for not bringing jintsuu

You bring abkm when you have a 50 luck cut-in option. Her opening torp blows ass without 2 additional torps equipped and her double attacks are inferior. Jintsuu allows a 3stack nightplane too

>>14018212
>using pasta gun
wwwwwwww

>>14018228
>pasta gun
they're great when upgraded

I can finally feel elite again.

>>14018220
Jintsuu is yesterday's trash. No need to get butthurt about it.

>>14018246
>still no special event symbol

>>14018220
Unless you fed Jintsuu a couple of mry, how would she have 50 luck CI?
Also, ABKM's opening torp is rather strong with 2 quints.

>>14018249
Kai3 when.

>>14018253
Read my post again

ABKM squadron is the strongest

>>14018253
Pretty sure he's saying ABKM is only a good cut-in option (as non-flag) if she has 50 luck.

>>14018252
Who cares about those who joined after winter.

>>14018262
Yukikaze > Shigure

>>14018260
I did. What I mean that you'll stack her with torps anyway, so "her OP is weak without torps" is kinda moot. I'm more interested in the "50 luck option". Or you mean that with skilled lookout which you can't put on ABKM because minisub?

>>14018265
I just want it to be pretty
A footnote number is just ugly

>>14018263
There is no better candidate at flag position than ABKM. Both the DD can use FCF so they are wasted at flag. The 2CA has thicker armor to survive shelling damage so they can be put elsewhere.

There is literally no reason not to put ABKM at flag position unless you don't want to waste exp on a lvl99 ABKM.

>>14018283
Being this ignorant.

>>14018270
41cm are more accurate than 46cm on hotels, and Pasta guns are pretty much upgrade versions of 41cm guns, sidegrade to 41cm protos, while being upgradable.

>>14018293
Well, I'm not arguing against that. It's just that the image that started this conversation had ABKM as non-flag.

>>14018304
All guns are neutral on hotels

>>14018304
>41cm are more accurate than 46cm on hotels
Are they? Fucking hell, time to educate myself again.

You got me again RNG. I thought I could finally break free from you today but it was not meant to be. Back to debuffing while I stare at my pitiful steel and fuel numbers again.

Another week of massing up resources while butt heals from the rape.

>>14018304
Pasta guns are shit m8.
51cm and bisko are the best gun to upgrade.

after 5 retreats I finally got to the boss node

only to deal 5 fucking damage while the enemy raped my entire fleet

fuck this shit

Managed to get Umikaze and Mizuho 1st try hunting for them. I guess all the luck went to this as I took a while to finish E-7. I am done with the event (E-8) faster than I thought. Cant be bothered to go into E-7 waters for Kazagumo.

>>14018313
>>14018318
Nothing but failed runs today for me as well.
Godspeed comrades and may RNG bless you.

>>14018327
I already do use those two guns, upgraded. I'd use more Bisko kai guns, except I only have 2 of them. The screws required for upgrading the non-kai to kai are also better spent on other equips.

Also, that very chart shows that Pasta guns are, in fact, not shit.

So Teruzuki wants me to touch her? What a lewd little DD.

>>14018332
fuck you congrats
treat them well you lucky cunt

Who dropping to easy mode here?

>>14018318
Fuck. You didn't even manage to disable the DD.

Does it worth the time to level a second ninja for a second night recon?

>>14018345
You do realize you need an additional level of STARS to compensate for pasta gun -1 stat right?
Even 41cm is better than pasta guns.

Hotels will always roll with 51cm+46cm and if you are going to sortie for the final map, you bring the best.

>>14018348
Thanks. Good luck.

Let me guess, her armor resets if you start the night battle after midnight.

>>14018368
That was hard to watch.

>>14018368
That was going to be a super easy clear if you did it before 0000 JST.

>>14018368
Yes.
Poor girls did their best though.

>>14018361

>>14018373
Yeah, he has more cut in than my last dance fleet.

>>14018362
Yes, that's the ideal setup. However, it's far easier to get one or two more stars on Pasta guns. At least I sortied with the Pasta guns because they were better upgraded than my 46cm.

>>14018384
For what reason

>>14018388
Mass Scout CI

>>14018368
You lucky motherfucker, I never had Antizuki to target already taiha'd ship. She always killed one or two of escorts in shelling and another one in yasen. Every single time in fourteen times I met her.

>>14018399
>You lucky motherfucker
>fourteen times
You're the lucky one here buddy.

>>14018399
>only fourteen sortie
yeah fuck you too.

>>14018402
>>14018411
What's wrong with fourteen?

>>14017576
>>14017610
RIP your ears, anons.

>>14018489
twenty sorties here and still didn't reach last dance yet.
Man, maybe I just bad at this event

Strawpoll time:
http://strawpoll.me/5347851

>>14018512
Is there a strawpoll for event progress?
Just curious how many others are stuck on E8.

>>14018512
I feel like I would vote for Umikaze if she existed.

>>14018489
Couldn't be bothered counting anymore after 80. You got pretty lucky buddy.

>>14018411
Not sorties, times I met her. Number of sorties was 31.

>>14018507
Not necessarily. I can easily see 20 sorties to not be enough for reaching last dance.

>>14018526
I'm not him though but I didn't have much troubles reaching the boss.

>>14018530
> 31
Well fuck, I have to sparkle my sanity then. Still didn't reach halfway yet
>>14018535
I didn't neither. It was the boss node that kill my support fleet, I can only reach yasen with 2 ships intact if I'm getting lucky while having to deal with Battleship Princess. Not to mention my gals just keep choking while sparkle + NB gears

>>14018517
There was one a while ago, but I'm not going to mine old threads to find the link. Have a new poll:
http://strawpoll.me/5347941

Anyone who got Umikaze, did you get any DD drops at all while trying? I'm trying to consider what I might be doing wrong, but after 50 runs now, I haven't gotten a single DD drop out of E4. Does fleet composition affect drops or something?

What do you know, Akashi really does drop from 3-5.

>>14018557
E7 Hard done. Not a single rare drop, despite spending more resources on E3 easy than E7 hard. Maybe Teruzuki will bring me some luck.

>>14018559
Fleet composition never affected drops.

>>14018559
5 Hayashimo, 3 Kiyoshimo and 2 Yuugumo.

>>14018568
yeah, but amatsukaze is a lie.

>>14018535
Depends how you define "reaching the boss". If it's "not getting taiha'd at E, J and L/M" then yes, it is easy. The hard part are nodes B and Y.

>>14018578
Nothing improves luck-wise post E7 hard. It's just an endless hell of resource drain and shitty drops.

Good luck regardless.

>>14018517
Here.
Template for you.

I wish I could trade the 12 Tanikaze drops I got for a Kazagumo.

>>14018582
I got one last month, together with two Maruyu from 4-5 in span of two days. However Akashi is a lie, even if >>14018568 got her.

4-5 sucks I'm done I don't even want the medal anymore. I'm getting trolled harder here than at E6. Literally out of resources doing fucking EOs and getting fucking maruyu from lsc. HQ level is the worst shit in this game.

>>14018592
I will never have maximum number of medals because Winter E5 was too much for my 60-80 lv fleet. Spring was such a disappointment, I can't believe they gave out e-peen medal for that event. If only they were reverted...

>>14018598
wanna trade? 2 of my spare Akashi for your spare Amatsukaze

>>14018578
>>14018581
How depressing. I would say Tanaka is toying with me, but that implies that he intends to give her to me in the end.

>>14018609
4-5 has nothing to do with HQ though?

>>14018592

>>14018613
Sure. I really need third and fourth crane.

>>14018618
Any tips for Umikaze?
I am locked to hard.

>>14018592

>>14018592

>>14018615
I'm getting a ru kai and ne class in the boss and I don't remember having to kill the evolved installation on earlier runs. All my sanshiki equipped ships are getting red by bullshit every run. The boss walks away with practically full health every attempt.

>>14018592
Send help.

>>14018636
Use the yasen route. RNG getting to the boss is worse, but the boss node is pretty much a guaranteed S rank with support once you get there.

Any tips for Kazagumo?

>>14018649
Oh. In past months I think I failed to kill the boss only once and got A rank two or three times. Getting to the boss depended mostly on Ta-chan's mood though. Use AP Shell on one or two BBs.

>>14018658
Do the MZ route for E6
M is a guarantee S rank
Z is about half and half if you dont run boss support.
Route support is practically a must.

>>14018636
>14141441
So time based RNG is the trick to event drops. I should have known.

>>14018667
I've been running that very setup for days now. Thanks anyway though, and good luck to you with Umikaze.

>>14018673
>>14018677
Some dude at futaba spent around 100k and 200sorties to get her. E8 proving to be the final boss after ducky.

>>14018691
>100k and 200sorties
How can you run E6 or E7 at 500 resources per sortie?

>>14018592
This being my first event I'm pretty happy with the results. I really hope the next event is on par with this one difficulty wise so I can prove myself with the E-peen medal now that I'll actually have time to prepare for the next event

>>14018704
Hotels, combined fleet, support.

You can get rid of just one, one thing from /jp/ event time.

>kuso mode blogging, pretending kuso mode blogging has been acceptable in /jp/
>the people with 100k+ resources, 1000+ buckets, who then ask "A-Am I ready for last map gaiz?"
>idiots who still ask what compositions to do after two weeks have passed and every information is available to them on wiki and archives

>>14018718
Yeah, that's more like 1k per sortie minimum. My point is that 500 resources per run is cheap for those maps.

>>14018725
This is pretty hard.

>>14018725
God damn.

I guess the one good thing about all this farming is that I've finally ringed Taihou and I'm likely to ring two more ships.

>>14018725
The second option. I really can't stand that.

>>14018725
First one, not even a question.

>>14018725
The real sad part about this is that we can't really get rid of any of those.

>>14018725
First one. Kuso mode blog shaming has been a thing since Isokaze, it is a /jp/ heritage at this point. Unacceptable to be honest thinking you are hotshit blogging over kuso mode cleared

>>14018725
>people who rationalize their inferiority
>people who flaunt their superiority

Always the lazy people. Every single time.

>>14018915
>double line
There's your problem!

>>14017999
Wasn't it that historically, submarines were tasked with recovering downed pilots?

So, after each node you get a chance to recover your lost planes when a submarine is in your fleet?

>>14019014
What's the worst someone expended on those two? 70k?

That's still nothing compared to how much E8 is costing me.

>>14019017
What do you suppose I use then?

>>14018939

Oh, I definitely will.

>>14018650
iwishforfriendfleetassist.jpg

>>14019031
Line ahead, do you even master race TTK?

>friend fleet system is now up
>Having FatalPulse/Konishi/Fujita Saki as your backup/team carrier

>>14019042
>>14019042
And watch my entire fleet hit the sub for two shelling phases while I watch everything go taiha?

>>14019026
Downed pilots can be recovered, but downed planes can't.

So maybe what the subs can do is have a chance of reducing or even preventing rank down if too many planes are lost from a slot, even if all the planes are lost.

I'm trying to clear E-7 easy but I can barely do anything to the boss. Am I doing something wrong? Can I have some advice?

So trading for this game is pretty much out of the question.

What do you think the friend system will even do? Would they really implement friend fleet assist?

>>14019047
That would be amazing, but how do you compensate for subs tanking bosses and event maps to make them viable for pilot recovery aka "reduce rank down"?

What if you equip them with rescue equipment, but the tradeoff is entering the battles with one ship less from the formation, since they're somewhere behind the fleet doing recovery?

>>14019050
Where are your night scouts? Skilled lookouts?

Put Maya at the bottom of your formation or put her in the main fleet instead.

>>14019050
Hmm, there's nothing really wrong with your fleet or your equipment (save for maybe the low level of Yukikaze). Frankly, E-7 is just that much of a nightmare.

>>14017352
Only one Reppuu? Is it enough for AS+?

>>14019056
I'd think recovery would only be done once the battle ends.

>>14018212
How many XY? Was S and K placebo real?

>>14019062
>>14019050
>>14019069
I fucked up and uploaded the wrong picture, sorry. This is only for chipping runs. Should I switch Sendai for Ooyodo and put her the Star Shell instead?

I have a Yuudachi at lvl 82, should I put her 2 torps and the skilled lookouts and take out Yukikaze?

>>14019050
>OTO on Choukai

Don't.

If I were to make Akitsushima suck less, maybe equipping Taitei-chan could be that he appears as an extra on the fleet formation, similar to a summoned backup?

>>14019085
>Ayanami torp cut-in damage with 99,9% chance of activation
>don't
Pick one.

>>14019088
He's only using one OTO.

>>14019081
Recheck your AS at aircalc.net, because the AS you need for boss runs tops out at 306.

Then put Maya in your main fleet at the bottom slot.

>>14019101
>Then put Maya in your main fleet at the bottom slot.
She worked quite well for me at top slot with AACI + FCF

>>14018725
You.

>>14019119
The point of not using the top slot is that the second shelling phase is top down.

Feels good for your waifu PvP fleet to win for once. They always lose.

>>14019070
I go for AS only.

Can anyone help me improve my chance for E7 Easy? I kept missing the boss with 20~ hp.

>>14019315
AP shells on Nagatos.

>>14019315
Give your BBs AP shells and put them at the top.

And even without that your fleet should be more than enough for kuso mode.

>>14019315
If you have the OTO, you should also have the 90mm to give to Maya, also give the FuMO to Maya, it's more effective. Air radar on non-AACI ships is retarded, use AP shell on Mutsu and Nagato. Start crafting those observation seaplanes. Take out Skilled Lookouts and give it to Myoukou torpedo cut-in, Yukikaze has more than enough to cut-in by herself.

>>14019315
I don't know where to begin.

Why is Murata not on the largest ship slot?
Why is the FuMO on Mutsu and not Maya?
Why is Nagato 5th?
Why do your BBs have AA radars instead of AP shells?
Why put a searchlight on Jintsuu, when flagship Shigure has a star shell?
Why does Yukikaze have skilled lookouts?
Why aren't you using a CI setup on Myoukou?
Why aren't any CIs at the bottom of the escort fleet?

Then again, this is kuso mode so maybe I'm thinking too much about this.

>>14019342
Searchlight on Jintsuu is perfectly valid.

>>14019329
>>14019342
How should I setup CI for Myoukou?

2 torps, Skilled Lookout and?

Sorry, overall I'm just retarded. I'm trying to salvage whatever I can.

>>14019348
When flagship Shigure is carrying the Star Shell?

>>14019353
>2 torps, Skilled Lookout and?
+ red gun.

Or if you are feeling lucky, flagship Myoukou with 2 torps + red gun + whatever.

>>14019321
>>14019326
>>14019329
>>14019342

Maya can trigger AACI with FuMO?

Also, only have 1 AP shell. To Nagato it is.

>>14019375
>only have 1 AP shell

You better change that then.

>>14019375
FuMO has AA stat and is an air radar too. You can also use it like a surface radar, but you don't need to on E-7.

>>14019375
AP shells are ultra cheap, you'd waste more steel and ammo in one failed run.

>>14019372
>When flagship Shigure is carrying the Star Shell?
Sorry I don't understand this. Can you explain?

If Shigure is not flag, then I suppose I should go

Myoukou (CI + Lookout)
Choukai
Jintsuu (Searchlight)
Shigure (Star shell)
Yukikaze (Star shell)
Bismarck wherever?

Is this fine?

>>14019389
Ah Ok.

>>14019383
I tried.

>>14019375
What made you think using all your AP shells to upgrade one AP shell is a good idea?

>>14019396
But it doesn't use other AP Shells until +3?

>>14019400
It doesn't until +7

>>14019395
>I tried.

Try again.

>>14019400
>>14019402
Yeah, nevermind. My bad

>>14019389
Wasn't it debated before that the FuMO isn't a air radar, despite its AA stats?

>>14019413
FUMO behaves as air when for AACI setup

>>14019413
It is air radar since it has the same penalty to accuracy like all other air radars.

>>14019416
wait, accuracy penalty for AA radar?

>>14019416
It's the same as a surface radar, the only one without that penalty.

>>14019420
It has penalty though.

>>14019301
>your waifu PvP fleet
>They always lose.
You need more faith, anon. Faith and grinding.

>>14019423
Either it does or don't notice it because of the max level red guns, level >> seaplane and level 121.
