>>14027226
New BGM will be released after event.

>>14027226
Hopefully the furniture is good so I can spend these furniture tokens.

>>14027564
I am more concerned with all the good looking furniture probably requiring a furniture fairy.

>>14027854
Stop samefagging spammerfag.

Real thread
>>14027799

>>14027854
I'm ready.

>>14027859
I wish i still had that many, I have been using them gradually and the event prizes just don't keep up with demand.

>>14027885
Are there even that many furnitures that's worth spending the tokens on?

Is there a Dev tweet that says cranes K2 after event, or is it just speculation?

>>14027942
The jukebox is the best thing I've bought and one of the rainy season windows.

>>14027969
There's this
https://twitter.com/kancolle_staff/status/605896448660537345

>>14027974
Yeah those are the ones that I've gotten as well.

>>14027969
Pic related.

Teruzuki is super cute. Much more so than Akizuki

>>14027942
Depends on the person and their aesthetics I would guess. Most of the time I find the token less equivalents nicer looking or at least just as good.
The jukebox is a pretty useful furniture in general though, it helps with getting rid of ever increasing coin mountains and you get special bgm without having to buy the corresponding, possible ugly, furniture you will never use anyway. Although my favorite fairy furniture is still the mahjong table.

>>14028057
Her voice is terrible

>>14027969
The autumn equinox is on September 23, so they don't have to hurry.

>>14027226
Sendai is truly wonderful.

>-Around 40 shipgirls will receive new autumn voicelines.
I bet Ichiso-class DDs get them. AGAIN.

>>14028057
I wish Yoshinori would stop with the gun mascots. Shimakaze's was more than enough. Akizuki's 10cm was already pushing it, but this new one is just plain stupid.

>>14028389
>hating the bullet chomp
shit taste

>>14028389
And I wish he wouldn't stop because Shimakaze's wasn't enough, Akizuki improved on the design, and this latest one is just fantastic.

>>14028325
Dem perfectly shaped and sized sendais

>>14027942
There are quite a few that I consider must-haves.

Jukebox, a good looking window like the Gorgeous moon-viewing window, a bath or hotspring, and a dinner table/kotatsu.

Also Fuck E8(6) hard mode, less than 10 S-ranks of E6 trying for Kazagumo has cost me more than the entirety of E7 Hard did.

>>14028325
Seeing that Jintsuu is getting a new CG update, it's probably safe to assume that other bobships are getting one too.

>>14028473
Didn't she already have her kai 2?

>>14028473
Wait wait wait. It's not just lines?
I might actually get a new CG for Sendai?(Assuming if Sendai gets the same thing as Jintsuu. Naka too.)

>>14028473
Willing to bet it's a seasonal CG rather than a completely new sprite.

>>14028478
Yeah, just like Jintsuu, so what's your point again?

>>14028478
Every ship gets a different CG for Kai Ni. We're talking about seasonal CGs.

>>14028481
There should be multiple ships getting new CGs just like summer and Jintsuu is only the first one to be announce, just like Kasumi is the only one announced to get new lines out of ~40 ships.

>>14028484
It's a yukata as stated in the OP, of course it's just seasonal. Does no one actually read the stupid news part?

>>14028489
I'm still waiting on Ooshio's sprite to get smaller eyes because I can just not take her seriously like that.

>>14028494
I think the KCGfag made everyone wary of the OP.

>>14028500
Its really easy to tell them apart though, especially obvious when its missing the new english wiki.

>>14028500
Other people being retarded is no excuse for you to be retarded as well.

>>14028511
Not like anyone cares though, all those replies in the other one show it. I'm just curious which one the janitor will kill this time.

>>14028500
If there's fake news in the OP somebody will point it out and that will be the end of the thread. Don't be retarded.

>>14028500
And the OP is the easiest way you can tell the difference. Here's a simple guide. >>14028448

I could trip up either when making or announcing new threads but some people will not like that, so I just let the janny sort it out. Janny has only got it wrong once in this month.

>>14028521
Don't point out what everyone already knows, he'll just come up with new and innovative ways of making subtly shit threads.

Also I suggest that if you're affiliated with the new wiki (other than as an editor, which is just normal) that you refrain from making the threads. Not saying you are, just a devils conjecture.

>>14028521
His previous threads is also links to two threads.

>>14028521
Don't reply to this post.
This is /kcg/fag.

He doesn't care about the OP and he crossposts only to create a shitstorm.

>>14028540
>>14028467

>>14028530
I'm not in any way affiliated with the new wiki nor did I once made an edit on it. I chose to include it only because it looks better than its wikia counterpart with it's forced 4:3 display and oversized font.

>>14028551
Content matters more than style.

Well in that regard both are shit so I guess it's a wash.

>>14028556
And that's why I included both. Both have almost the same amount of content and people can choose to use the one that they're most comfortable with.

>>14028556
What does the old one have that the new one doesn't aside from people commenting on entries? Data gathering on both and wikwiki was shit this time.

Is Fubuki a good enough DD to save for E7 or should I just use her for E5?

>>14028603
Do you have Maya or Akizuki available for E-7? If yes then go for it.

>>14028614
Is AACI important for E5?

>>14028622
Not moreso than E-7, but then I've had better results going through yasen route than north in hard. If you're on easy AACI shouldn't matter.

Can you get another Akashi at E4C if you already have one? Also got a dupe yahagi

>>14027942
I've been playing since before the Spring 2015 event and have used 3: jukebox, mahjong table, and the buffet table we got this summer.

Should I farm Takanami or Kazagumo or Akitsu Maru/Maruyu?
I only have 2k fuel left

>>14028696
>mahjong table
You have great taste.

>>14028697
Honestly, the most useful out of the bunch would be Akitsumaru/Maruyu.

The skilled lookouts on Takanami/Kazagumo are nice to have, but farming them can be rough, especially the latter.

Thank you for your courtesy of not using this thread.
It made me create this one: >>14028711

>>14028697
If you have good subs just farm Maruyu on E-4C. It'll tank your win rate by a little though. I've farmed E-5G for around 120 S ranks and I didn't get a single Akitsumaru drop.

>>14028521
Add "at least 2 previous threads" to that list
>>14028714

>>14028697
You can get akitsumaru and maruyu anytime you want. Takanami and Kazagumo is now or wait 3 more months.

>>14028697
Kazagumo would be the best choice because she's very cute and comes with lookouts after remodel, but don't keep your hopes up. 2000 fuel significantly reduces the probability of getting anything interesting.

>>14028720
Why /kcg/fag even does what he does? What's the fucking point? How pointless one's life has to be to be so persistent about such a retarded matter?

>>14028731
2000 fuel is enough for like 3 sorties in E6.

>>14028737
That was enough for me, but not everyone is euro as fuck.

>>14028739
I'd be happy with getting her in 100 sorties by this point.

I've dumped more into E8 now than I spent clearing the event.

HOLY FUCK
I am done! This is even more elating than finishing E7. Terucute is the lucky star.

Where are you farming for her? If you're farming for her on E-6 boss node, not getting her in 100 S ranks has almost the same probability as getting her in 2 S ranks.

After trying to farm for Mutsu or Souryuu for ~30 E-5 Easy runs, I only got Roma.

Don't know how to feel about this.
Should I just do LSC instead? Is the orel cruising song right about always getting Mutsu?

>>14028762
Just do the world3 weekly at 3-3 and world4 weekly at 4-2.
You will get tons of Mutsu and Soryuu from there.
Soryuu also drop from olel.

>>14028749
How are you calculating that?
Not getting Kazagumo in 100 S ranks should be equal to:
(1 - (Kazagumo drop rate))^100

Getting Kazagumo (at least once) in 2 S ranks should be:
1 - (1 - (Kazagumo drop rate))^2

>>14028784
Assuming 2.98% drop rate
Not getting Kazagumo in 100 S ranks = 4.85%
Getting Kazagumo at least once in 2 S ranks = 5.87%

>>14028784
>>14028749
I just did the math.
Not getting Kazagumo in 100sortie is 4.85%
Getting Kazagumo in 2sortie is 5.87%.
Do note that I am not counting node M where she has a 1.14% drop rate.

You have to be extremely unlucky to not get her after 100sorties.

http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv233561555

Inazuma keeps choking or getting hit to red on the boss battle, so far its been epic and hilarious

>>14028803
I just hit about 30 S ranks. It should be more likely that she drops than she doesn't by this point, right?

>>14028807
And Beaver get hits to orange on the first node, it's like I'm watching myself.

>>14028819
>>14028807
He says that he's enjoying it. I think he's lost himself.

>>14028816
Yes, just keep going. You are bound to get her sooner or later unless your server is bugged and they didn't add her into the drop pool.

>>14028803
>>14028826
Assuming you can reliably S-rank it on hard.

My yasen crew keeps getting murdered or choking, for a pathetic 25% Srank, 50% A-rank, and 25% taiha retreat rate in 36 sorties.

>>14028807
That yukikaze choked at double line torpedo

>>14028807

time for Yukikaze's goddess counter attack.

>>14028897
>>14028898

>>14028883
I get about 50% S rank at boss, nearly 100% S rank at node M.

Just finished my 70th sortie a while ago. Don't want to go above 100 if I don't have to, but it looks like I might have no choice.

>>14028807
He fucking did it.

>>14028898
>>14028897
>>14028807
Holy shit.
That clutch myoukou.

>>14028807
He fucking did it.

so much for Yukikaze and Inazuma when you have the Goddess Myoukou.

>>14028807
ALWAYS BET ON MYOUKOU-SAMA

Is Myoukou everybody's MVP of the event?

>>14028903
Are you using hotels? I was using Nagatos for a good portion of that.

Damn, Teruzuki really is cute. Will I regret not getting her.

>>14028922
Yeah, I'm using hotels. I know it costs more, but I'd rather have the better odds at S ranking than save resources for more failed attempts.

>>14028933
Yes nigga, you definitely will.

I still regret not getting Amagi during Winter.

>>14028933
What is your excuse for not saving her?
You have 1week left. Leave no one behind.

>>14028968
I have 19 buckets left, no steel, and very little fuel. It's not happening.

Fuck, I'm not sure if I'll be able to kill Moby Dick this event. I'm not sure if I'll even go to E-2 today at all, I need to get my bauxite up for E-3. Damn whale has evaded me for so long mate.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I have AS+ in fighter power in my main fleet, a Suisei 12A, a Shinden Kai, a Ryuusei Kai, a Ryuusei, Saiun, 2 Tenzan, a Suizei and a fight-bomber, using the two nagato with cut-in set ups in my main fleet, two kongou with cut-in set ups, Sendai and Choukai with a cut-in set up, Shimakaze with quad torpedos, 10 and 12.7cm high-angles, and a hibiki with a 10cm high-angle and 2 12.7cm guns, but I can't seem to drop the E3 boss to zero on Easy. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Another shitty gif because bullshit DDs always deserve more.

>>14028983
>shinden kai
>stuck on e3 easy

>>14028994
Kuso gonna kuso.

Also, how many people in the thread up till now did kuso mode?

>>14028994
Fuck, I meant two ryuusei.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

CHOUKAI CRIT THE BOSS DOWN TO 2HP AND I WAS READY TO CRY
THEN SHE DID IT
I TOLD YUKIKAZE TO TARGET THE BOSS, THE ABSOLUTE MADWOMAN
I WAS SO SHOCKED I DIDN'T TAKE A SCREENSHOT UNTIL THE CURTAINS NEARLY CLOSED

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S FINALLY FUCKING OVER
ALSO THANKS TO CHOUKAI FOR DOING 160 DAMAGE TO NEGAZUKI WITH A DA
NO TAIHOU, DUCKY, GERMANS, OR HOTELS NEEDED (OR HAD)
FINAL REMINDER HOTELS ARE A WASTE OF RESOURCES

>>14028983
Just read the wiki. If you're doing everything correctly you'll clear it in time.

>>14029006
>kill last dance on first try and spend a grand total of 19 runs of E-7 hard

As expected of fubushitfags. Here, have a pity medal.

>>14029038
>I'll never underprepare for an event again.
How bad was it TTK?

>>14029042
Because I underprepared and underestimated E3 Hard.

>>14029050
I only started with this after slacking off for more than a month.

>>14029038
Ara ara

>>14029051
>he did it for the radar

>>14029053
Oh and almost 90% of this was burnt on E3 hard.

>>14029057
Worse, I had to change to kuso mode in the end despite >>14029058.

>>14029038

gitgud
I would understand if you were farming for Mizuho but failing to beat E3, hahahahahaha

>>14029066
>I would understand if you were farming for Mizuho
Pleb spotted, E-3 hard is easy to farm even without support.

>>14029057
Worse, I had to change to kuso mode in the end despite >>14029058 (You).

So I don't even have the radar to show for it.

>>14029066
I do have her though when I decided to farm E3 first because I thought I was going to complete it on hard.

I also have a compilation of times when torpedo slut reached yasen on taiha, there are a lot of them,

>>14029053
Started with more than me and I cleared hard a week ago :^)

>>14029065
50k is more than enough if you only count all the event maps and not resources used to farm trophy destroyers.
You have 3weeks of expeditions and passive regen. Can probably cleared all hard maps with spare.

>>14029089
Luck is the variable here, some clear in 10 runs or less, some go to 30.

>>14029089
But you haven't added luck into the equation. Some people just have shit luck for some reason.

>>14029091
>>14029092
Then stockpile more, scrubs

>>14029098
Then why say 50k is enough when you say to stockpile more?

>>14029092
>>14029091
Except 50k is enough even with shit luck, if your equips and kanmooos are ready

>>14029102
You can be level 150 and still be crit to taiha by the boss.

>>14029102
They're always ready with their derrieres up in the air for the Abyssals to rape alright.

http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv233583669

here's our next E-7 last kill entertainer.

>>14029100
50k is enough for kuso mode.
E-peen medal is bonus for veterans. Your scrubs need not apply

>>14029121
The whole point was whether 50k was enough for Hard though.

>>14029121
>says kuso mode
>when people are talking about hard

>>14029111
Seems like Satsuki is doing it.
I can feel it.

>>14029124
Wo never said "50k is enough on hard"
>>14029126
fuck off , /kcg/fag

here's another one since Satsuki failed.

>50k is more than enough if you only count all the event maps

looks like the last hard mode kill for the night.

>>14029139
>>14029065
>there are people who believed Wo's "50k is enough"
That guy you quote isn't me.

Do you guys think this game only makes you happy by making you suffer beforehand?

e.g. Last Dances: you could clear it on your first try with good RNG, but failing 20x and wanting to die, before finally clearing it, gives you a euphoric high of excitement and joy.

Similar with E-8, you can get a girl on your clearing runs but it's just a pleasant surprise.
Farming for her 100x and falling into complete despair, and then getting her, is like seeing an angel.

What an absolutely cancerous game design.

>>14029150
Because this game is for autism NEET. What a surprise

Guys I am in dilemma right now.
I have 1500 points left, do I buy 2rings or expansion? It doesn't seem like you can do much with 100points.

>>14029150
Struggling makes victory sweeter. It's not like the developers invented that fact of life. It might be infested with RNG, but that's the price you pay for free to play. Would it be better game design if you could buy drop rate boosters and boss debuffs?

>>14029176
Expansion always more practical, they will only keep adding more kanmusu.

>>14029176
Expansion costs 1000 points, there's not much you can buy for 500 points too.

It's time for more medals, teitoku

>>14029206
As soon as Kazagumo drops.

>>14029200
>>14029202
You are right, you can't buy anything good with 500points.
Just bought 2rings. Gotta ring all the clutch performers and it is time to scrap mutsukis in the next event

>>14029206
What time does the monthly quest show up? 3am JST?

>>14029206
But I don't need more medals.

>>14029220
Just buy more points you kuso.

>>14029206
Not until the monthlies reset.

High drop rate on hard mode feels good man. 3rd S rank post-clear.

>>14029206
What is the new 5-5 meta?
Is it really FBB+5carriers?

>>14029328
2BB4CV and you don't have to run route support.

>>14029328
I've been thinking about FBB 4CV 1CLT with both supports for minimal bukeet use.

Have monthly EOs reset already?

>>14029339
>>14029348
What about bringing yuubari or ooyodo to S rank it?
Is it worth it for the better drop?

>>14029380
1 hour ago

Are the cranes really the worst carriers in the game?

>>14029389
Not for long ya nigger.

>>14029389
Kinda. Depends on what you want.

>>14029389
They did pretty ok for me in E-7, and Shoukaku is love.

>>14029389
With the update, you can pretty much use any carriers you want without much drawback.

>>14029403
Except the low slots get your planes shot down.

>>14029411
Yeah, whatever. I don't think I've ever had a green plane drop a single level since the mechanic was introduced, and the big slots remain mostly untouched too.

>>14029384
Last time I checked the drop list, there was nothing especially good to try S ranking it. Who knows, maybe Prinz really is an S-rank-only drop there.

>>14029411
I used the cranes for E6 farming and they can always still attack at the boss node.

Hooray, 15k starting was enough for a catapult.

What comp do you use to farm E-5-G?

Should I keep KTKM with 2x quad oxygen torpedos in my secondary fleet and hope she survives to the night battle? Still can't seem to bring E-3 boss below 100 on kusomode.

>>14029441
2FBB, CAV, CLT, CV, SS

>>14029449
Can replace a BB with CA.

E7's gonna be hell.

>>14029496
Have fun with le kuso mode

>>14029496
Only the ammo might be a problem.

Yada yada you have a week left wwwwwww meet me at node M.

>>14028992
Change You to TTK and it's perfect.

>>14029513
It's just RNG.
I've perfect S-ranked E-7M on kuso before.
(and then S-ranked the boss in final dance)

Just completed 160 S ranks at E4. Umikaze is a lie.

>>14029595
If she is a lie then who am I lovingly petting right now?

Anyone here maruyu farming in E-4C hard? What comp are you using apart from subcheese?

>>14029597
Sakawa

>>14029597
Shigure with dyed hair.

>>14029595
That got to suck. I got her after 125.

>>14029597
Kawakaze?

Do my subs hate me for making them Orel?

>>14029620
Depends how much.

>>14029620
Not like you can use subs in many maps.

>>14029595
She's real, but Kazagumo is a lie for sure.

>>14029441
1 strong BB, 1 CV, 1 CLT, 1 SS
2 whatever needs exp

The exp isn't really anything to write home about though so you're probably better bringing +2 CV/CLT anyways and avoiding bucket use.

>>14029328
>>14029348
I'm trying 5-5 for the first time this month, how much am I going to suffer?

If I do BB/BB/Kaga/Akagi/Souryuu/Hiryuu or BB/CLT/Kaga/Akagi/Souryuu/Hiryuu I can bring all level 90+ girls.

>>14029640
Unless you manage to severely damage or even sink elite Re with the opening airstrike + support shelling the map is still bullshit thanks to the opening torp.

Use 2FBB because there's a sub at the boss.

>>14029640
I can't recommend 2BB4CV. It's not pretty when all 4 of your 90+ sparkled CV chuuha from last dance opening aerial phase when the previous 12 runs either ended at pre-boss taiha or E-kaze. It's much safer going 3BB

>>14029595
She will drop eventually.

What's a good STF composition for E7 last dance?

Getting to the boss is a pain in the ass since my fleet keeps getting rekt before preboss.

Damn, I had 1-6 still open and incomplete. Even did a couple of runs before refreshing teh game and resetting the EOs.

>>14029612
Ichiso-class DDs and Taigei are actually clones.There are several Shigures in your base. I heard Suzukaze and Samidare are going to be "naturalized" as well.

>>14029712
No, pls. I hate Kyoani's moeblob face.

So since the drop rate for rare ships has increased for the event, does that mean that the drop rate of rare ships in LSC has increased as well?

>>14029764
Since when did it increase?

>>14029676
Surface? I went with Akitsumaru, 3 battleships, and two light carriers with the standard second fleet.

Got the gauge to half before I got tired of that pre-boss node and changed to carriers.

>>14029819
What'd you run for CTF? 4CV2BB?

>>14029845
I had oddly smooth runs for some reason and never strayed.

>>14029792
I thought that the drop rate for rare ships went up like 1.5x during events, some one was saying that last event.

>>14029901
Ships don't have drop rates. Nodes have drop rates. The Event-nodes don't even exist outside of the event.

>>14029901
Event drop rates are higher except for new ships, LSC stays the same.

>>14029901
I think they simply said "semi-rare" like CV, are more common in events than the normal maps. The actual super rares from events are always too rare unless you are lucky.

>>14029911
>tfw got various rare girls people wanted
>tfw found only one ship I wanted
RNG acts in mysterious ways.

Finally free of the hell that is E-8, time to go back to the hell that is Bismarck and Taiho LSC.

>>14029919
>tfw you get both Kazagumo and Mizuho with minimum effort
>tfw you didn't really care until you discovered that both are cute as HELL
It's complicated. I'm happy because I got them, but at the same time I feel bad for people still grinding for them after 50+ sorties.

Any comp suggestion for farming E-6 M? I have to avoid boss Node because I can't secure S rank. Also, sorry for being kuso.

>>14029940
I finished E-8 early and with 65k baux left.

I still do not have Taihou. I hate LSC so fucking much.

>>14029595
It's been over 200 for me. I've gotten 17 battleships and at least 2 of every other rare.

Decided I wasn't going to do E-7 due to low resources but now I feel like doing it

Shoot at me some fleet compositions for both killing the boss and armor-reduction runs. I don't have ABKM Kai2.

>>14029986
Carrier task force
2BB 2CV 1CVL 1CA
2DD 1FBB 1CL 2CA

>>14029940
Meanwhile I got wrecked on first node of E3. E8 sucks.

Try to save myself stress after deciding E7 hard isn't worth losing my sanity and go easy, now I'm on my 28th retreat out of 35 attempts. I can feel it slipping away.

>>14030028
Why won't you git gud?

>>14030033
Being good isn't good enough.

Anyone else bored farming ABKM up to 75? It's taking absolutely forever.

>>14030044
hang in there anon

>>14030055
It takes a day in 4-3.

>>14030055
She's a great addition to the expedition family.

How the fuck are you supposed to deal with node M

>>14030077
Ducky and/or Maya Kai 2.

>>14030055
Yep. I promised I'd get her 75 by the end of the month but I was too lazy. I ran 4-3 a few times and now moved to 1-5 diamond formation first node farming with fodder

It's time to rush the monthlies and EOs.

>>14030028
At least you aren't doing a HR management paper and hating yourself for every paragraph full of buzzwords that you have to fill your face with. Fuck you environment scan, future workforce view none of you make any actual sense

I want to play with my boats so bad

>>14029671
The things I'd do to this creature.

What can I do to not lose 500-600 bauxite per E3 sortie?

It's slipping away, even when support kills the trash and the BBs didn't get a shot in.~

>>14030130
What the hell are you doing stop going the south route

>>14030128
AS+ on all node.

>>14030134
Wouldn't escort fleet be in too much danger if I get rid of bombers?

>>14030063
I just got sent to J 3 times in a row. Fuck the pointless damage my ships are taking.

>>14030128
>>14030134
Bullshit. I had AS+ and still lost that much bauxite.

>>14030142
Fill the biggest slot with bombers, put actually good fighters everywhere else.

>>14030133
http://www.kancolle-calc.net/deckbuilder.html?id=PnLOqyKNhp

Then tell me, is there something wrong with this carrier set up?

>>14030147
Sorry but I don't have five Shinden Kai.

Fuck retards like Abukuma.

>>14030148
yeah it's full of fucking torpedo bombers what are you doing man fill that shit with reppuu

Holy shit, how can I even do 4-3 wrong?

The two CVLs keep taking MVP despite ABKM having two +10 sonar and a +8 depth charge. I guess I should use worse planes, because the 601s and Muratas are way too strong.

>>14030163
>CVL

>>14030166
It's cheaper and guarantees an S rank. There's literally nothing wrong with that.

>>14030163
just use tenzans they do the job

>>14030169
Just take Unryuu class if you care about cheap runs. CVL attack subs too.

>>14030169
>There's literally nothing wrong with that.

Apparently there is if they keep stealing MVP.

>>14030157
What about Jintsuu's 20.3cm(3)s? Wouldn't Otos be better?

>>14030163
Why 2CVL? One CVL is more than enough, use another CL with barely any ASW or an exp-leeching CA.

>0.5% drop rate
Under-reporting or just godly luck?

>>14030185
15.2k + 20t3 is fine from my runs

>>14030186
Another CLT might be good, since I get sent to J so often

>>14030185
If they're upgraded.

>>14030163
>I guess I should use worse planes, because the 601s and Muratas are way too strong.
Why is it always the fucking morons who use strong blue planes that cry about grinding?

>>14030185
i managed the kill with normal 15.2 on Agano I think you'll be fine.

>>14030148
There's nothing wrong with it.

>>14030185
>Wouldn't Otos be better?
And why would they be better?

>>14030213
Since I've seen people use 15.5cms on CLs and it looked like Otos are a better choice between the two.

>>14030230
use 15.5 yellows for their accuracy it's far superior. Unless your oto is upgraded a decent amount in which case go for it.

>>14030230
Some people use red 15.5cms on CLs for placebo. People who use yellow guns on CLs different than Abukuma are idiots.
Either go for accuracy with 15.2cm (possibly Kai) or damage with 20.3cm (2) or (3).

Fuck yes. Post event farming is real. Ninth sortie, sixth S rank. Main reward is finally in my hands, now it's time to casually farm Kazagumo.
Let's ignore past 57 S ranks on various difficulties.

>>14030299
please gib umikaze

>>14030299
Just do your dailies on E-6. Remember to go through node M.

>>14030305
Who's that?

>>14030309
Got it.

Anybody playing Kancolle on Linux here?

>>14030330
I'm playing on OS X. Is that close enough for you?

>>14030336
Maybe. Since that limits your options for viewers, how are you playing?
Same method that works on my windows machine doesn't work on my linux machine.

Best escort line to hear when they start shelling the boss? Rather like Nowaki's.

>>14030348
When I was trying out Debian some months ago I just installed Chromium and KC3 Kai on it, it worked.

>>14030357
Meant support fleet.

>>14030357
Abukuma

>>14030364
Kill yourself.

>>14030348
I play with Chrome, but using the app launcher so that the game's window loads up with a minimal UI.

I've got some simple javascript I run via a script that resizes the screen and locks the window to just the flash portion of the game. It's visually the same as using something like Flash Projector, but I get the benefit of just running the game straight from DMM's site.

I'd also normally run Logbook as well, but it's been acting up lately so I've stopped using it for a bit.

>>14030358
>>14030368
Thanks, I see a trend in those answers.
Maybe I should just try Chrome or at least Peppermint flash

Anyone wants to say anything about Akizuki's yasen damage?

>>14030404
All the people that say Akiduki is useless in yasen have been parroting the same shit since Fall without stop, why would you ever believe them?

>>14030404
That's it?

>>14030413
Quite a lot for someone who disabled Wo Kai and takoyaki Wo on the way.

>>14030404
ok, now compare it to shimakaze's 300 damage cut-ins.

>>14030404
Weooooooooooow 71 damage so good so awesome so much better than Yuudachi and Ayanami who would have done 130 damage on the same condition with DA and even more with cut-in.

Thank you man, I'm cutting my 50 luck Poi right now and my Maya with max 90mm because clearly this has proven using Akizuki instead is better.

>>14030404
Yes, it's less than Teruzukis.

>4 or fewer (F)BB(V)+CV across the 1st and 2nd fleet will generally go to M with a small chance to go to L. Will never go to Y.

Anyone ever followed this kind of rule for the CTF set up? I'd like to know what would be a good example.

>>14030404
Good for taking out trash, I guess?

>>14030404
Uwahh a married hag

Yukikaze never stops eating abyssal shells.

>>14030404
Am I suppose to be impressed that she did what any other non-elite DD could have done?

>>14030457
To max out daytime damage you'd need as many BBs as possible in the main fleet which leaves two. Next up, fBB in the escort fleet is a popular choice which leaves one spot for CV. The other spots are filled according to your approach to AS and night battle.

>>14030457
I did 2BB 1CV 2CVL MayaK2

>>14030457
I used 2BB 2CV 1CVL 1MayaK2 in main fleet and 3DDs in escort fleet. Never went to Y.

>>14030457
It's only on the main fleet.

Are transports the most valuable abyssal ships? My BBs keep aiming at them all the time.

>>14030630
Yes, they might be carrying important supplies.

>>14030639
Kiso should be able to steal these resources. Unique skill fucking when?

>>14029595
I am sorry.

Do I really need supports to S rank E6 reliably?

The event may have been utter shit, but at least there were fun moments.

>>14030671
Route support is pretty necessary.
Boss support just depends on how your boss encounters go. It'll improve your odds a bit, but it may not be needed if you're already getting boss S ranks reliably.

>>14030679
Goddamnit. One last "naked" run today and tomorrow I'll use support(s). I thought I would be free from sparkling after sinking Antizuki but that was too good to be true.

>>14030693
Welcome to the true hell of this event, E8.

I've been on this map for a week. I haven't even seen Umi once. Fuck this map, fuck this gay earth. How did my ships become such fucking chokers?

Someone wake me up from this nightmare.

>>14030725
Why aren't you using the yasen route for the final kill?

>>14030725
No wonder, they are not even at kai 2. The extra firepower, armor and health really helps.

>>14030735
I am using the Yasen route. Should I not even bother getting AP?
>>14030738
My issue with that run is that Yukikaze had the searchlight from Fubuki and Skilled Lookout and still failed to cut-in. That was a clear, that was THE clear. And she fucked it up. She's been fucking up so much.

>>14030763
They didn't cut-in because you're fighting an airfield.

>>14030763
If you're using the yasen route, why are you bringing DDs? Bring some CAs with sanshiki instead.

DD CI's not going to do jack squat against that installation.

>>14030725
>kuso mode
Come on, you aren't even doing hard.
98hp is literally a joke.

>>14029595
Doing it on easy? I got it after my first post S rank on hard. 30+ sorties on easy got me nothing.

>>14030763
You've been on this map for a week and you're expecting a cut-in to kill Henderson?

Are you for fucking real?

>>14030763
Torpedo setups are worthless against land bosses.

>>14030725
That boss is immune to torpedos, unless they are torpedo bombers. They are also immune to dive bombers.

>>14030807
>unless they are torpedo bombers. They are also immune to dive bombers
Thats the one thing I don't understand about installations. Why the hell they are immune to dive bombers and can be attacked by torpedo bombers?

The next thing he's going to say he has no sanshiki. And then we really laugh.

>>14030819
Because with Japanese planes in WW2, the dive bombers couldn't carry heavy loads, but the torpedo bombers could swap out their torpedoes for heavier bombs to use on structures, or so I've heard.

>>14030725
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5fwlJwAWYA

>>14030156
TOTEMO OK DESU

>>14030836
Guess makes some sense.

But then, the most awesome plane in the game, Taitei-chan, should wreck installations too.

HQ lvl: 103
Average ship lvl: 81

About to start E-6 but E-3 hurt and E-4 wrecked my face. My resources are at the point that I need to farm fuel nodes at 2-3 to keep going. Should I lower the difficulty to medium to just move on to the main dish E-7 or should I bunker down and weather it out?

>>14030863
You better pull a miracle or else you can say goodbye to the crane item.

>>14030863
I'm about at about your level and had just about the same problem so I went down to medium for E-6 and easy for E-7. E-6 medium is just as bad as E-3 hard.

>>14030763
>and still failed to cut-in
>Installation

>>14030859
I'm outraged that Taitei-chan isn't super effective against installations, along with everything else.

>>14030870
What do you mean? Doesn't it also drop on medium?

Finished E-6 hard last night. Do I have a chance in hell at E-7?

>>14030896
shit that steel though

>>14030896
Sadly, you do but you're taking a huge risk. And I'm the guy telling everyone to grow balls and tackle E-7 hard and arguing against kuso admirals.

You have 4-5 days of restoration before you can try and take E-7 hard in one day, which will take you 12+ hours likely. You're going to need to go full neet with expeditions 2, 5, 21, and orel sea runs. You need that fuel/ammo to be 60k around and buckets to reach about 300. Assuming you aren't a shitty admiral and that you have upgraded equipment, elite ships, and know correct compositions, you have a shot at it but it's a gamble.

If it was up to me I'd do the all or nothing. Unless you really like Teruzuki, she's not really needed in your fleet on the regret of having gone pussy mode.

>>14030924
Thanks. Currently running 2/21/38. Kind of sucks for me that this ends on Labor Day weekend though, since I'll be driving most of Friday and most of Monday. This may be out of reach after all.

>>14030771
I picked medium to try it out, couldn't kill boss, figured I would stick to medium.
>>14030807
>>14030767
>>14030768
>>14030773
>>14030793
>>14030887
Honestly didn't even cross my mind. At least the nightmare is ending soon with this new knowledge. After I finish this, I will proceed to off myself.

sigh, I wanted Akashi at my first E-4 run, not this..

>>14030924
>>14030960
Don't forget to clear 1-6 for quick large chunks of resources

Who who got one of the rare drops while doing regular clears? That's always the best feel. I got my Kazagumo that way.

>>14031031
My rarest drop was Amatsukaze. Combined fleet farming is cancer.

>>14031031
That's never happened to me. I've gotten ships I've never previously had before, but never the 'map reward' drop.

>>14031031
I got Kazagumo on an E-7 run. The only other time I got new drops while clearing was back in MI where I got Hayashimo in E-3 and Kiyoshimo in E-6.

Ok, I barely had any time to play the event and I'm in the mid of E-4. I probably only have 2-3 sessions of 4-5 hours to finish this before the end. I should switch to kuso mode?

>>14031096
Nobody gives a shit about your life, fuck off.

>>14031098
Rude.

>>14031031
I I got a Mizuho on the run before E-3 last dance on ez-modo.

>>14031096
You aren't going to clear E-7, might as well just end E-6 on medium.

>>14031111
Yeah, guess I'll go for the catapult.

>>14031096
Poor Henderson-chan.

>>14031094
Is this a one-shot? I can't find the rest.

Why won't my dive bombers attack Henderson? Did the opening phase just wreck my bombers?

>>14031215
>>14030807

>>14031215
Why won't you read the wiki on how installation bosses works?

Guys... I woke up to this and I can't fucking find shimakaze.

>>14031221
Thanks, I thought it was the other way around

>>14031240

>Guys, I sunk my speedslut pls respond

>>14031240
It's always the Kongou faggots.

What's the recommended placebo value now? 3X 3Y or 5X 5Y?

>>14031300
7

>>14031240
It's like driving, you don't play it while asleep at the wheel. Shit like this happens.

>>14031342
The subs are the hardest workers and this is how they are treated.

>>14031342
What the fuck you faggot.

>>14031300
I did 10X 6Y, mostly because i never did more than 70 or so damage in an attack even with cut-in when i tried it with 3X 3Y a few days earlier.

Did the trick, she sank in 6 sorties from a 140+ Yukikaze cut-in.

>>14031364
I was legit pissed off at myself for a day after that I missed it both on the compass roll and the formation select. Yea, never playing while drowsy again.

>>14031375
I can play this game while semi-unconscious. Not very well tho.

>>14031283
love this meme

>>14031415
It's not a meme.

So this...is the power of elites...

Wow...

>>14031445
Serves you right for even taking Abukuma.

>>14031445
Being elites doesn't stop them from having terrible defence.

I wish they would let you trade multiples of rare ships for other rare ships.

I'd gladly trade in these two dozen or so rare destroyers I keep getting for just one Kazagumo.

>>14031465
But then you'd have one person with 5billion accounts just doing LSC on natural regen.

>>14031445
Half the enemy are CAs and all of them have decent torp. I'm not sure why you'd expect anything else.

I have a feeling those reports of Kazagumo drops in E-6-M are bullshit.

I'm on sortie 80 now, S ranked node M nearly every time and not a single drop. I've gotten plenty of Tanikazes to last me till the end of time though.

>>14031478
It's a 1% drop on Medium and up.

>>14031478
It drops, its 1% though so absurdly rare, especially compared to the boss nodes 3.5%

Saw it happen on a nico livestream a few days ago.

>>14031478
Just do both M and boss node. It is only 1extra node of fuel and ammo. Got mine from boss node though, around 50sorties for me.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

40 S ranks later out of about 80 sorties.
I'm finally out of this E-8 hellhole.

Will Water Oni come back next event? I miss her already.

anyone else still getting cats from logbook with this in logbooks error log?
java.io.EOFException: HttpConnectionOverHTTP@

>>14031524
I didn't look at the error log, but logbook was giving me trouble almost since the beginning of the event.

I just stopped using it altogether.

Do you need kai nis to clear E-6 med?
my CAs are all kai with maxed out firepower with basic 20.3s but during the day unless crits they only deal single digits

>>14031531
You need all the firepower you can get, so yes.

>>14031524
Nekopanda's one is working fine. Haven't tried the others.

Man, getting that last drop you need on a node is always the toughest, especially when the other rares start dropping in dupes just to mess with you.

pls halp what is the best recipe for bisco

>>14031604
That's an expensive Maruyu.

>>14031604

>>14031604
Use Z3.

>>14031604
You're seriously complaining at attempt #14?

>>14031604
At least you got a hotel out of it.

>>14031624
Isn't that a lot? I got Bisko in about half his attempts.

>>14031604
Speaking of, I've been monitoring ACG for a few different ships, and it seems like the drop rates for recipes are always fluctuating? What the heck?

>>14031624
I'm at attempt #40, can I complain yet?

>>14031633
I hope you got at least 5 Maruyu out of it because that's a lot of wasted resources.

>>14031633
How do you expect /jp/ magic to proc if you never complain?

>Be NEET
>Get an unpaid internship somehow
>No time to run expeditions
>No money to buy resources
>E-7 still uncleared

>>14031638
I've gotten four Maruyus, two Akitsumarus, and three snails. The rest are Fukou/Ise/Bongou.

>>14031633
Get on my level. That useless hotel took me 50+ odds attempt. I got bisko with my first though.

>>14031642

>unpaid internship

LITERALLY slave labor

>>14031642
Unpaid internships are basically slavery.

>Hey, work for us for free, and juuuust maybe you'll get a position by the end of it. If you don't, at least you'll get experience, but not enough to actually get hired somewhere else though!

>>14031661
>>14031663
I know, it's awful. But my family was NEET-shaming me and I couldn't handle it any longer. It's my mom's fault I was born anyway, so why am I getting punished...

Any good E-4-C farming fleets that won't tank your sortie win ratio?

Is it really worth grinding for another Souryuu kai 2 plane? Every time she drops, I'm always hesitant in grinding her.

>>14031663
>>14031642
>he does it for free
Why do people do this again? Even flipping burger at Mcdonald is more productive.

What route do people use to point farm in 5-4?

North with 2 CV and 4 barrel CL?

>>14031697

I use Tone as the drum whore.

>>14031697
Yeah, it's more reliable than south with subs.

>>14031697
I think the consensus is all subs fleet and F5 when you accidentally kill the boss.

>>14031717
F5 didn't save me when I accidently killed boss.

I need 15 searchlights total to max the regular and the super searchlight. This is crazy, you can't even build that shit.

>>14031717
what's "accidentally kill the boss" about?

trying to avoid depleting the health bar to keep the easiest boss formation if you've never cleared the map or something?

>>14031717
>>14031748
Killing the boss is bad?

>>14031748
newfag here, whats the problem with killing the boss?

Fuck you, compass fairies. Let my combined fleet get to the boss node.

>>14031767
>>14031768
Final form of the map has 0 asw compared to post clear which can have some, so this makes final form desirable for rank farming with sub fleets.

>>14031764
>>14031767
Final form of 5-4 has literally 0 ships that can attack subs, and as a result, it's good for easy ranking

Just started E-7 can I get away with just debuffing X and no Y or do you have to do both.

>>14031778
>>14031777
Guess that boat has already sailed for me then.

All subs sure sounds cheap to run.

>>14031780
No, suck it up and bring the army dog or kamo

>>14031787
It's still perfectly possible to do it with 6 subs even after clearing
With the new plane mechanics, it's feasible to do 5-5 monthly now too so it's better this way
