Add gakada's KCV fork next time since a lot of people want to play horizontal.
https://github.com/gakada/KanColleViewer/releases

>>14158347
Woah, this has more stuff than yuyuvn. Didn't even know it existed, I'll write it down somewhere.

Is it possible to override ingame models, specifically KanMusu sprites, with your own?
A chink streamer i'm watching at the moment has overrides on several and I'm not sure what sort of sorcery this is.

>>14158347
Overall, right now, this is the best KCV fork.

Yuubari's 4 fork has much more customization (pop game out of main KCV window, for instance..) but kills a lot of functionality such as translations, and a lot of plugins are busted. For now. I'll come back to Yuubari soon but for now this is the best one.

I mean look at this shit. Get it together, Yuubari.

>>14158430
Yes, read up:

>>14158460
Holy shit anon, I love you
>>14158461
Y-yes of course, one less ranking competitor after all!

Anyone got a guide to all the quests needed for the Proto flight deck? I can't even trigger the first oboro 5th dev composition quest.

>>14158314
Nice try /kcg/fag.

For those who can't use the catalog here is the real thread: >>14155985

>>14158460
what has science done

>>14158347
>Horizontal
Can I somehow change it to vertical? Playing on horizontal is fucking retarded if you aren't on a low res screen.

>>14158530
Why do people keep asking this? Every KCV so far has been able to do vertical.

>>14158530
Dude, why are you still asking this? People have told you it's the exact same thing as yuyuvn with extra stuff. Also there's absolutely no issue with playing horizontal on a HD screen, it's actually retarded to use horizontal on lower res screens.

>>14158533
It's a lot easier to drag left-right than up-down, though.

>>14158460
Can this be used for the stock KCV?
I don't like translated version of KCV since the romanji name all get cutoff and spoil the aesthetic not to mention all the lel translation like CVB.

>>14158460
>no battle info plugin
>best KCV fork
Doubtful.

>>14158512
anon give that art to me
dick status: muh

So while I was spamming 30all for Nagara, this smug bitch appeared. Really now, Akigumo?

What's a DE and why has it been always there?

>>14158614
Differential equation

We are over at >>14155985

>>14158614
Destroyer Escort. They announced them in like, 2013, and they never came; there might be a code point for them in the application.

>>14158614
Dick Eater, it's for literal boatsluts.

Jokes aside it's probably for the new destroyer escorts the devs were tweeting about since fucking forever.

>>14158620
So much desperation. Enjoy your borrowed time.

>>14158460
Is that from gakada's fork? Mine is a solid green bar. I wonder why.

>>14158587
What placebo flag?

>>14158625
He's baiting so hard for replies in his thread it's hilarious.

>>14158639
Generating conversation means you "win."

>>14158639
Joke on you. This is his thread as well

>>14158614
I'd like to know more about this XBB thing.

>looking at the other thread
>all that samefagging and bait posts
It doesn't get any worse than that.

>>14158692
A code artifact left over from when the KC3Kai guy renamed some shit.

>>14158692
That's 超弩級戦艦 (Super Dreadnought) in the Japanese version.
Probably an in-game classification the devs threw out, especially since a lot of the BBs would fall into that category anyway.

What equipment setup did you guys use for the 5-1 Mikawa quest?

>>14158974
The one with Choukai right?
2 reds + yellow + radar on CAs
1 Yellow 2 Sonar + Depth on Yuubari just in case.
Don't forget to pray to the compass.

>>14158983
Don't think there's any point in using yellow, just stack another radar on the CAs and go full ASW on Yuubari. You can kill the sub in line ahead unless your Yuubari gets taiha'd.

>>14158983
>2 red + yellow

Why? You get that ultra shit secondary gun cut-in at night.

>>14158989
>>14158991
Ultra placebo where Kinugasa took out both Ta's in day battle. I prefer it, but extra Radar works as well.

>>14158983
Even three yellow + radar or four yellow are better than two reds, yellow and radar.

>>14158997
Killing your yasen for the extra few FP isn't that good of a tradeoff. Don't think that there's actually any situation that your setup would be better than double red double radar or turbine.

So do upgrades and fit guns affect support expeditions?

>>14159041
No.

>>14159041
Seems they don't so 46 proto is the new hotness for supports.

>>14159041
Yes.

>>14159041
Mayhaps.

>>14159041
Sometimes

>>14159041
There is a new nip test with different results every other month. Who the fuck knows.

>>14159041
Support expeditions are hard to test for accuracy, you can't see who hit the enemy or how many hits were scored.

>filled my ship slots before reaching the 5-2 boss

I'm at a dilemma if I should scrap this Oboro that took me great lengths to get now that I'm done with the quest.

What do?

>>14159250
Buy 50 slots and ask yourself that question again, the answer will be clear.

Wow. September 17 update. The Japanese are telling us that we should disregard their previous tests showing that skilled lookouts give 20 luck. It's now closer to 5%? but the verdict is not out yet.

http://ch.nicovideo.jp/RayBeams/blomaga/ar792958

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother reading these things.

>>14159268
No wonder I got fucked hard listening to Shuukai and using lookouts in my event comps.

>>14159268
They're also considering the possibility of a new cut-in formula

夜戦カットイン新理論式
　夜戦カットイン確率 ＝ √(70×運) + 旗艦補正
　運キャップ＝魚雷･砲雷60 (60以上は切り捨て？)
　　　　　　　旗艦砲雷のみ70～75？
　旗艦補正 ＝ 旗艦+12.5％、僚艦+0％
　損傷補正 ＝ 中破+20％、他+０％
　装備補正 ＝ 照明弾、探照灯、見張員各+５％ほど

>>14159268
Does this mean that it can improve your cut-in rate over the luck cap since it's a flat chance increase?

>>14159294
Maruyu farming is always the best way to enhance cut-ins if you're below 50 luck.

Not fucking again.

>>14159163
I see, so they will be adding the Kikka soon I guess (cause the Ohka was built with the only purpose of being used for kamikaze).

>>14159358
It's a free radar.

>>14159363
29 levels for a mediocre radar is neither free nor worth it

http://bs-arekore.at.webry.info/201504/article_4.html

There's a pretty sizable sample size here.
The new proposed yasen cut-in formula is:
√(70*Luck) + Flagship bonus for torp and mixed cut-in and
√(50*Luck) + Flagship bonus for gun cut-in.

Luck is capped at 60. Flagship bonus is +12.5%

Searchlight, starshell and lookouts each give 5% bonus.

>>14159363
Do you have like 0 bauxite left? It's a radar you find everywhere.

>>14159365
>>14159381
I do daily minLSCs and I don't spend much bauxite crafting equipments since I already have enough T32s. I just throw them into PVP either as flagship or against sub fleets to sparkle them and send them to tokyo express.

>>14159379
So tl;dr get your luck to 60 instead of 50?

>>14159402
The data looks pretty reliable but given how their formula seems to change every other month I'd wait a while for them to make up their minds before committing to anything.

>>14159379
Wait.
If this formula is right, a 60luck boat outside of flagship position only has 75% chance to do a CI.

>>14159416
How'd you arrive at that number? 60 luck when you're an escort ship gives 64%.

What's the best way to get Zuihou? She's the last CV(L) I haven't got, I've been doing 300/30/400/300 every day and all I've managed to accomplish is modernise shitloads of AA.

>>14159426
Not him, but probably searchlight + star shell.

>>14159426
+starshell and +lookout

>>14159434
2-5 Boss has a pretty nice drop to difficulty ratio according to http://kancolle-db.net

>>14159416
Which sounds about right.

>>14159416
>only 75%
Anon, please. Did you even play old Fallouts with shit gun and shit Small Arms skill? 75% is a wonderful CI rate.

>>14159472
Pudding only has 62.9
Myochoke has 57.3 which is barely more than half.

>>14159472
At least for FO, we had a choice of where we could shoot.

Going for the eyes and sensors was always so much fun.

>>14159542
Abukuma is so fucked now. It's never going to be her turn.

>>14159553
Never played any of the fallout games, will the new one be worth it?

>>14159585
I wouldn't know how it is for a complete newcomer to Fallout, but I suppose it's a AAA title now, so I guess so?

Elite Re's single plane is such bullshit.

>>14159625
Air supremacy, and somehow it still manages to crit someone to red on occasion. It really is bullshit

>>14159633
Happens only on green T and crit. Also it's a dive bomber so AS doesn't matter.

>>14159585
First and second where really good once you get past the whole art style.

As for the new one I have pretty low expectations to be honest. You never know though. I mean maybe you're one of those people that thought Skyrim was a good game? And most people loved FO3 despite it not being a very good 'Fallout' game. Depends how easily amused you are is what I'm saying I guess.

>>14159638
>only on green T and crit
Not what's happening to me here. Air strike phase has had 100% taiha rate for me. AS+ is going to happen anyway, since there is a node with 3 or 4 carriers just before her.

>>14159638
>AS doesn't matter but green T does
What?

Of course, I forgot about the 25% chance that is actually 75% to go to the dead end instead of boss node.

>>14159655
Nevermind, disregard that line.

>>14159666
I actually got sent to east more than getting taiha'd on pre-boss this month.

Is the 5CV 1CAV meme fleet reliable to clear 5-5, or are the other comps 3 BB, 2 CV and 1 CVL or 3 BB 3 SS just as good/better?

>>14159698
Is attaching meme to everything fucking thing the norm now? I'm going to start filtering this shit.

>>14159714
By definition, if people keep talking about using the fleet than it is in fact a meme. Why are you mad about people using words the way they're meant to be used?

>>14159722
I've never even heard of that fleet comp.

I just noticed that HMS Hermes was the first ever aircraft carrier with an armoured flight deck.

562 fuel and 465 ammo from ex21, ABKM is love.

>>14159722
It feels forced as fuck when said fleet was only mentioned like 5 times. By your fucking definition everything is a meme now. Fit guns are memes. Akashi's upgrades are memes. Events are memes. Skilled lookouts are memes. Shoukaku is a meme. Memes are memes.

So can we have hope that Shoukaku got enough shit for him to draw a good Zuikaku? I can wait if it means I get good art.

>>14159749
He may have already submitted the art and the Devs are the ones delaying the Kai2

>>14159749
I like how Shoukaki K2 looks like. I hope he does the same for Zuikaku. It would be rather symbolic too.

>>14159749
enjoy ur monkey ears

>>14159268
Myokoufags BTFO.

>>14159307
It probably has bigger effect for low luck ships and smaller for high luck ships but isn't a simple luck boost.

>>14159788
Myoukou

Feels good delaying my morning PvP for almost 12 hours, and then finishing them.

Now doing my afternoon PvP.

>>14159698
Fuck off.

>>14159801
What's wrong anon? What got you so mad?

>>14159817
Your reddit-like behavior. You look like a retard stuffing "meme" everywhere.

>>14159774
My beef is with the sitting trend.

I loved Tone, Bismarck, Fusou sisters and more in their kai shapes with proper standing poses. Then they all got the sitting treatment.

If I were to list good sitting art, it would probably just be Kongo kai. Tone kai ni, Bismarck kai ni and Kongo kai ni are acceptable, but not good.

>>14159826
Kongou

>>14159825
As opposed to your so exemplary behavior? Maybe you should get off the internet and go fish or something.

>>14159837
You're fucking retarded for trying to change the subject like that.

>>14159837
How about you head on over to >>14155985 where the rest of you fucks congregate. Go force your memes there. I'm sure they could use more memecarrier, memefleet, or whatever the fuck you like attaching meme to.

>>14159837
>>>/r/eddit is few tab to go

Why can't we all just get along.

In one thread.

>>14159993
Because that faggot keeps making shitty threads all the time

>>14159379
What about night scout?

>>14159993
Oh, I do get along with most of people here.

>>14160002
Night scout increases fleet wide accuracy by 10% and damage by 5.

20 hours until the end of monthly ranking. What's your target?

>>14160002
It doesn't affect cut-in rates.

I want to go on a date with Urakaze!

>>14160043
I want to eat her buns.

>>14160025
Nothing. I don't have the time/sanity to do 15-20 clears of 5-4 a day for a whole month. It looks like the top 500 will be just under 2000 points this month so I'm basing my calculations on that.
If I ever do try to rank, it'll be after I've leveled everyone I want to level and have all the event drops/full dex completion.

>>14160025
I'm happy enough with my Gensui status. I'm in a very competitive server so monthly rewards are out of question

What are the biggest servers now anyway? I know it used to be Shortland and Rabaul, but that was like two years ago

>>14160076
Devs claim the latest server is the largest one.

Seem like someone organized a vote on what code should be use to refer to the armored carrier ship type. http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:338239

>>14160084
Seems reasonable, it's the only server that's not using the lottery system for admission. It's gonna be a bitch to stay competitive in that server after some time.

>>14160056
Does that include daily and weeklies?

>>14160108
For the most part, though I just like to do the ones that give screws. I do as many as I can and I'm at 866 points now. I don't do 5-5 yet because I just unlocked it, but doing it would bring my sorties per day to 13-16. If I did every daily/weekly, I could probably bring my sorties per day to 12-14, but it all comes down to resources and time. Right now, events are just a lot more important.

So, where's the source for that BB fit gun pic in the OP?

>>14160025
Doing 2-5.

I have an AAFD maxed and want to turn it into an akizuki gun. Can upgrading fail? I only have 10 screws left, if I use the guaranteed success I will have only 1 screw left and be forced to improve 12.7cms

>>14160465
It has the highest chance to fail. It's your choice.

About to level CL/DD on 4-3 for the first time, what should I expect?

>>14160514
If you're going to blog, at least post something that's actually notable

>>14160514
Getting trolled by Ta often.

>>14160514
Super fast levelling but fairly high repair/bucket costs.

Give me your placebos for crafting Akigumo. 120+ all-30 crafts and still nothing.

>>14160541
I got 10 during Spring event farming for Hayashimo and Unryuu.

>>14160541
I've already gotten two from doing all-30 dailies

Katori, stop being a bitch and show up already.

>>14160541

God damn, /jp/ kancolle threads are pure cancer today. And I didn't even get to shitpost yet today.

>>14160541
I got one from A rank on 5-5.

Doesn't matter, she still died. Hyuuga, Kongou, Souryuu, etc exist too.

>>14160711

>>14160800

>>14160802

Next Kai Ni when? Shoukaku is already boring.

>>14160835
Only her looks.

>>14160835
Probably mid-October, I'm hoping it's 2 girls instead of only 1.

>>14160835
What do you want instead if you call her boring?

>>14160844
Maybe finally Sazanami?

>>14160849
Can't be. Sazanami will need an event item.

>>14160844
Aoba and maybe another starter doesnt sound out of reach.

>>14160835
I'd rather have boring-but-useful (e.g. Shoukaku) than interesting-but-shit (e.g. Kako).

So are we allowed to put Abukuma as flagship for the Mutsuki 3-2 quest now?

>kongou kai ni acceptable

That shit looks weird as fuck.

>>14159735
Yeah somehow it took ages for the Nips and Yanks to catch onto the fact that big wooden decks are a bit of a fire hazard.

When the Royal Navy came down to the pacific in force towards the end they had no problems with the Kamikaze's unlike the Yanks.

I have a theory that the reason Shigure doesn't have a festival outfit is because she has PTSD about night and explosions.
What say you?

>>14161087
Maybe it's because she already has 3 in total. I don't want her to steal Harusame away.

>>14161087
Kadokawa doesn't want to throw money at Ichiso too often.

I've been farming 2-4A for battleships all day and I've only gotten Ise which is a dupe.
Is 2-2 better, at least economically?

>>14161108
I got 3 out of 4 Kongous at 2-2 boss node S rank.

>>14161108
You are suppose to go to world 3, they are more common there.

>>14161087
But she is one of the night battle monsters.

>>14161108
Check kancolle-db.net for drop rates.

>>14161087
Any Ichiso ship that gets a new sprite is Shigure getting a new sprite though.

>>14161125
I've been stuck on 2-4. First two nodes are pretty simple but then I get RNGed off the boss path or taiha'd to hell.
That and I only have so many resources to remodel and modernize my ships.

>>14161087
Shigure already has enough CGs, go away.

>>14161151
With the new plane mechanics and double attack 2-4 is now easier than ever. I got past 2-4 on my alt with 1BB1CV1CVL3CA, not even fully modernized. As long as you equip your ships properly you should be fine. If you feel the need to level your ships just do it at the first 3 nodes of 1-5, helps a lot if you manage to pick up a sub on the way.

What's the highest rank you've been on the last day that somehow didn't get you any rewards? I'm around 320 but I want to figure out where I should be in the next PvP reset to be safe

>>14161151
Not sure what to tell you. Somehow despite not getting my first BB till 2-1, I cleared 2-4 no problem, cause by then I had Fusou, Ise, Hiei, and maybe Nagato (I'd not I got her shortly after).
Basically the secret to 2-4 is to chuck every bit of firepower you've got at it, at that point in the game.

Cleared S-rank first time.
Maybe CAs would work, along with your Ise, if you've got them. Most people tend to, I had trouble still at that point.

>>14161180
Or don't, there are better ways. I'm just saying, brute force does work in that case.

>>14161186
>UI improvements
Fuck yes, heil based Tanaka. Maybe they'll actually organize the equipment section better or maybe even let us do it ourselves/customize it more.
I'm still waiting for a full HD overhaul though.

>>14161258
I just want recipe queues to craft shit, and yeah, they need to raise the base resolution of the game, maybe its coming not too far from us since they probably need to support the android version up to 1080 at least.

>>14161204
The construction page can use a lot of work.

>>14161276
Some fleet presets/fleet manager would be fucking fantastic.

If it's better sorting options for the ship, including the equipping/modernizing pages, I'm happy.

>>14161288
I just want the equipment scrapping weekly to be fixed where I don't have to scrap one by one where I could be scrapping in bulk instead.

>>14161288
I want group ship scrapping.

Or a language option so I don't need to use any add-ons, but that's impossible

I swear this is the last one.

>>14161338
How many smiles have you killed?

>>14161186
What do saury have to do with UI updates?

>>14161379
You will need two to remodel Tama and Kuma to their kai nis.

Really hope they make the modernization page stay on whatever page you used last, instead of going back to page 1 every time you add a ship.

And remember last development/construction recipe until the construct/develop window is closed.

How do we fix this game, /jp/?

What do the ships say when starting and loading the game?

Get out, Tanaka.

>>14161555

Make that 15k. Think of it as 1k per repair if you're a player who does hit 300k cap.

>>14161555
That's stupid, 300k is enough for 3-4 events.

>>14161565
Lots of players failed last event with 300k.

>>14161555
Make it 100k and I'll consider it.

>>14161570
You can still be kuso even with +300k resources.

>>14161551
Any day is good except for Sundays.

>>14161570
I never understood how people could fail with 300k. Like what, they have hotel dupes and threw 2 of each at every map? Or they tried to be funny and brought cut in mutsukis?

>>14161592
Its like you dont really know the only real mechanic this game has.

>>14161551
Good, I'm done with the transport weekly soon.

>>14160887
Nobody answered, so to let anyone know who didn't already know.

You can, I just completed the quest with Abukuma.

Only cost me 3 repair teams

>>14161605
>3 repair teams
Why? I did it just fine by stuffing my lv 20~30 ships with turbines.

>>14161605
>Abukuma
>3 repair teams

Please, are all your Mutsukis level 1 or something?

>>14161615
They're all level 50 besides Mochizuki who was 20. Despite the levels, Mochizuki was the one who got taiha'd the least. I got tired of taihas and put repair teams on all the mutsuki class and then that's how it went. I still have 15 left so it's alright I guess.

>>14161595
RNG may favour everyone differently but there is no reason why a player with starting 300k resources should fail to clear an event, when players with less than one third of that are able to.

>>14161625
You can clear up the event even with soft cap, but clearing everything on hard is a different issue.

>tfw Beppu comes with no equips
Suffering.

>>14161625
Tell us about how it's just our imagination when every game ever has a bunch of faggots getting a rare drop on the first try, and then some people failing to get it after hundreds of tries.

>>14161656
I was also disappointed Sakawa didn't come with anything either. No wonder people don't like her.

>>14161663
she never actually did anything, so at least in her case it's not a suprise...

>>14161663
Her not coming with equips is hardly the reason people don't like her.

>>14161663
It makes sense in her case.

>>14161663
Pyan>bep.

>>14161663
Because she wasn't worth to get in the final map of Spring 2014, but I did it anyway. Reppuu Kai was the best reward.

>>14161663
Worst Konishi
Worst event final map reward
Shit art
Shit voice
Shit stats

Name me one good thing about her?
You can't.

>>14161678
>Worst event final map reward
That still is Akitsushima.

>>14161678
Okay luck

>>14161688
Are you insulting Taitei-chan?

>>14161688
Consider suicide. kamo~

>>14161688

Who doesn't agree?

Fucking shitter is lv40 at the end of the event.

>>14161688
Akitsushima is better by virtue of being an AV, a ship type that only had 2 other ships at the time and still only has 4.

Also Taitei-chan is waifu material.

>>14161693
Taitei-chan is just as useless as Akitsushima, just stating facts.

>>14161688
If Sakawa was an AV she would be 10x better than she is, because then you wouldn't have needed to keep dupe chits for expeds. As a CL Sendais + ABKM makes everything else useless.

>Sakawa bullying
I thought we were over this.

>>14161708
You are forgetting best AV.

>>14161711
>My lvl 55 Mizuho is wrecking BBs in yasen
Best AV indeed.

>>14161711
Well before summer the only AVs were chitoses. My autism was constantly triggered by having to keep duplicates and every time I looked at the ship list I wanted to kill someone.

>>14161719
I thought I was the only one. But I'm still mad Akitsushima cannot carry Daihatsu. She's borderline useless.

>>14161729
Why would you even want to use her as an expedition slave with that fuel consumption?

>>14161710
Sakawho?

>>14161710
>weak anal anal bait gets free pass because of luck
>Pyan cant
Damn newfags.

>>14161729
I've never bothered with AV daihatsu, akitsu maru refuses to show up and abkm is perpetually on expedition 21 duty.

>>14161710
Couldn't join her sister in Ten-go, had all of her weapons disabled, was taken by burgers, had her insides damaged by sailors and got nuked.

Didn't she suffer enough already?

Just hit me, BBs will get catapult-equivalent treatment for their Kai2, that means my second Yamato will be useless. Fuck my life.

A question about the rankings, since pvp resets after japanese midnight, do the points count for this month or next month after the japanese midnight passes and before pvp resets?

>>14161778
Next month.

>>14161204
Upgrade page needs some UI updates, it's rather clunky.

>>14161511
A massive game overhaul, like I've already said.

>>14161592
They went with kidou instead of suijou at E7.

I switched to suijou and cleared it in 2 sorties.

>>14161678
Her luck.

How many points should I be above rank #501 to be safe?

>>14162008
128,512.

>>14162008
Current rank 500 points +150

How many 5-4 runs do I need to do a day to achieve t500 this month, if this is what my server ended on today?

>>14162020
>Only 500 + 70
Fuck, guess I'm running until I run out of resources tonight

>>14162031
Do the math yourself, unless you haven't completed primary education, in which case fuck off underage&b&

>>14162031
15-20 a day if you do all your quests and EOs.

>>14162031
20, preferably S ranks. I used to do 35 a day, but it's impossible to get higher than 200 for me. It gets really exhausting.

>>14162034
You could probably get by if you run 15-20 runs of 5-4 today, +150 is if you want to be absolutely sure that you're not going to get cut off. Ranking ends in 7h30m.

>>14162031
>thinking that you can get good rewards in top 500
HAHAHAHA

>>14162056
Alright, that sounds like how many I can do with ~23 buckets (and running 2 and 4) anyway. I guess I'll find out in a couple weeks, but thanks for the peace of mind for now

>>14162056
ranking ended already. everything now is for next month.

>>14162069
If you're going to go for top 500 ranking just get a sub fleet rotation going. These are the faggots that you have to watch out for when ranking.

>>14162080
Ranking ends on 2200JST on the last day, which is 5 hours from now.

>tfw Bep at 70 instead of 65
fug

>>14162100
I'm probably just going to rank for this month for now, because I needed to level Shoukaku and some CVLs along the way. I tried 5 SS or 6 SS with a level 20 Maruyu on post-clear 5-4 but it didn't work or so well, so if I ever try to rank in the future I guess I need to make 1-2 Shioi and/or bring a lot of buckets. Thanks for the tip though

>>14162111
1 Shioi is enough. I rank with a 6SS fleet without spending buckets on any subs other than Shioi and I'm still in top 100. Maruyu is dead useless in 5-4, wouldn't recommend bringing it at all.

k

>>14162132
Why Bob fleet?

>>14162132
>line abreast
k

>>14162132
I always have the flagship with the extra slot holding a damecon just for this situation.

>>14162139
What is wrong with you

>>14162147
I only drill holes in married girls

>>14162163
>ro
>girls
>s
I bet you sell the bodies of your kanmusus to get resources to rank ,faggot.

>>14161555
I've never even seen six digits resources in 2 years of playing, let alone 300K

>>14161688
Agreed. Mizuho is by far the better seaplane tender.

>>14162132
What the fuck are you doing? Line abreast and Ring are the worst yasen formations.

Do you guys enjoy the game more now or back when you first started? Lurking the discussions on late game events, etc makes me hype for how much more time I still have to spend with my ships. Is it even possible to get burnt out? I don't think I could ever tire of looking at Yukikaze's pantsu outline.

>>14162316
Definitely now. The early game is so shit having to constantly worry about resources, leveling the important ships, blueprints, quests, needing better equipment, your first event, unlocking the worlds to actually start leveling everybody. I even got burnt out in my first month because it was all overwhelming, slowly but surely everything progressed naturally.

>>14162316
less hype, less fun, more frustrated

>>14162316
Probably about the same. The closest thing to "burnout" just meant slacking on quests for a month or two in between events.

>>14162348

Half way through more fun. (varies between those who are 元帥 or 大 from Lv 99-110)

>>14162316
Now if more fun just from sheer improvements to the game like arty shelling and squadron proficiency, but it was easier to rank back then.

I remember when 5x 5-2 runs per day would have put me near top 500, now that wont even make it into top 1500.

So instead of remodeling your Shoukaku once she reached 80 and remodel her again at 88, you just wait and remodel her twice at 88 right?

>>14162449
Yeah. she's actually weaker at Kai 2 unmodernized. No need to gimp yourself

>>14162449

Kai 2 A is terrible right now.

Getting scolded by kasumi feels great

>>14162316
First time was definitely more fun when you knew nothing about the game, spent all your resources on crafting and got happy when you saw a Kongou class. Now it's an empty void of how to minmax your resources while ranking.

I scrapped the free damecons to finish the daily scrapping quest when I first started playing

>>14162652
I didn't scrap all three, but I definitely scrapped a couple drums and damecons once, for the weekly dismantlement quest.

Soon.

>>14162662
You scrapped drums to get a drum?

>>14162671
This was back when I first started; I didn't realise what it was for.

Now that the shitposters are happy can we finally use the real thread? >>14155985

>>14162687
>>14159888

Do we have a Japanese source on the end time of monthly ranking? Different places seems to give different answers.

>>14162727
Try asking in the real thread.

>>14162668
I still have 34hours and Nagara is still nowhere to be found.

>>14162732
How about you go fuck a cactus? Just go and continue talking to yourself.

>>14162741
Ok

>>14162736
Why do you need Nagara?

Why don't you already have Nagara?

>>14162449
Does Shoukaku lose all her modernization stats when reverting from A to K2?

>>14162750
Not him, but Nagara seems to have disappeared from the game for me. Natori, on the other hand...

>>14162750
To clear my quest logs obviously. I dont have her because her original sprite is ugly as sin and I do not have 200slots to keep ugly boats.

>>14162760
Yes

>>14162760
Yes, but why would you want to do that?

>>14162778
Because flexibility.
Armored carriers are overrated, anyway.

>>14162787
Get out.

>>14162796
She's one of the cutest ships, but I don't need her.

>>14162787
>overrated
>bad

>>14162796
fart

Somebody's getting fuuuucked

Got 1 BP in the inventory and can get 1 more BP after reset, which one first?

>>14162821
Bisko.

>>14162787
That is stupid. Both of them made 4-5 a cakewalk. Do people not realize that they now hit harder than useless hotels because of the overcrit mechanic?

>>14162821
Bisko Crane Tikuma Tower Megane Tits

You can sortie the first 2 anywhere but they're pretty expensive. 3 and 4 are strongest ships of their class but have easy replacements or don't require more than 1-2. 5 isn't useful outside of events but get to 90+ regardless. You don't want to scrap 2 reppus yet since you're probably new

Keep crane unarmored unless you have tons of planes like all the gensuis

>>14162821
Starting now with all these blueprint ships must suck.

Anyone getting massive catbombs? Paramushir server

>>14162837
Doing transport runs, perfectly fine

Hamakaze is evil.

>>14162849
darth who?

>>14162856
Darth Oppai.

>>14162849
Why?

>>14162843
I can't even sortie to 5-4. Every sortie ends up with a cat mid sortie.

>>14162796
Visible ribs are fucking ugly, it makes them look like they're malnourished.

>>14162946
Chubby pls

>>14162849
I don't get it.

>>14163002
Look out the window.

>>14163006
Blazing hot sun.

>>14161711
Never trust in ex-abyssals.

>>14163287
Purificated abyssal is lovely and trustworthy.

Let's do our best this month as well etc etc.

>>14163311
Noone tells me what to do etc etc.

I just realized you don't get the bonuses from using daihatsu when you only achieve normal success.

Fuck me.

>>14163335
But you do.

>>14163335
Well you're wrong.

>>14163335
You do, otherwise I wouldn't bother using them for exp 6

>>14162348
Sounds like the issue I'm having now. Burning through fuel constantly and then getting stuck waiting for ships to stop throwing a tantrum because they're tired from torpedoing half the enemy to pieces before the fight begins.

Morale is definitely my least favorite mechanic.

>>14163425
Consider having a second set of ships to sortie out when the first is tired. There should be enough ships of each class to do it without needing dupes unless you're trying to do something with multiple CLT.

>>14163425
Morale is a pain but a necessary one or everyone would have max level monsters and ranking would be nigh impossible.

>>14163474
It makes no difference, any serious ranker would have backups ready to go at a moment's notice. In fact life without red morale would make 3-2 a pain to level on, it's fine as it is.

>>14163494
With morale, ranking involves the extra dimension of having backups to mitigate fatigue. Without, it's purely whoever has the most free time to send a fleet the most in a day to 5-4.

Well here is the quest after the 80 hour expedition. What am I dismantling to get the catapult?

>>14163571
Scrap 7 equipment.

>>14163574
Thanks, I couldn't even see the 7 with TeamViewer.

I fucking hate having 2 threads.

>>14163615
It's ok. I've got both open but most activity is in this one anyway.

>>14163615
Wouldn't have happened in /vg/.

>>14163615
We're here while shitposter alpha gathered ledditors, dumb wikia users and shitposters beta in his containment thread. It isn't the best solution, but it could be worse.

>>14163674
said : the redditor-kun

>>14163687
Enjoy your outdated threads.

>>14163727
If we moved to his new threads all the time, we'd actually have fresh threads. But it would also be 15 of them on /jp/.

>>14163674
Don't forget about newfags and retarded newfags.

>>14163578
nice resources nerd

>>14162849
I love this.

Fuck this guy.

>>14163890

more like alwaysloser amirite

>>14163890
How did you enter the new month with so little points?

So if you were pretty close to rank 500, how do you know if you managed to rank or not?

>>14163931
you wait 3 weeks.

>>14163931
If you're close to 500 you're probably not in the top 500.

>>14163935
Rank 510, then I did 5-4 about 40 times before Japanese midnight.

>>14163938
If your points are the same or more as a 350 rank before reset then you're in the clear. Anything less than that should be a hit or miss.

>>14163938
Thing is a lot of other people probably did that too.

>>14163951
What do you mean by that? I didn't quite understand that.

>>14163961
Lets say a rank 350 has 2000 points at 3pm before reset. You have to get to 2000 points before reset to make sure you're in top 500.

>>14163971
And do you have any idea how the point allocations work after monthly ranking reset?

>>14163971
>>14163984
And I gained the points equal to a rank 250 at midnight.

>>14163984
>>14163989
Cutoff time for monthly rewards is 2200JST, not 2400JST. Any points earned after 2200JST the last day goes into the next month. Points earned from EOs are an exception. As long as you manage to clear the EOs before the monthly reset it counts for the current month.

Points you have after monthly reset is 10% of what you have the last month + points from 2200JST to 2400JST.

>>14164007
That doesn't seem right, as I have less than 7% of last month's points.

>>14164032
EO points are not included.

>>14164046
Ah, I see. Thanks anon.

Fuck yeah, Bm7 done. This shit took ~20 buckets, I'm gonna start it sooner in October.

How many quints is enough quints? You can't reasonably ever need more than 14 right?

>>14164222
Are they all +max?

>>14164231
+4 is an acceptable stopping point for torpedoes.

>>14164238
You should still go +6, it's only rounded down after all modifiers.

>>14164238
+9 Quad is almost the same as +4 Quint.

Speaking of upgrades, do the upgrades also apply for enemy pvp fleets?

>>14164260
It's impossible to test that.

This fucker.

>>14164252
>+9 Quad is almost the same as +4 Quint.
+1 Quint more like.

>>14164260
Most likely yes.

>>14164273
A portion of each month's ranking points is also taken from your total HQ exp at the start of the month.

>>14164238
You want it to be max for some fun set-ups for CAs. 2 max quints 1 torpedo bulge 1 Lookouts is pretty effective.

>>14164289
Ah, right, there's 2 points difference, unlike AP Shell or DD guns.

Which BB guns should I upgrade first?

>>14164301
51cm

>>14164238
>not a pair of +7/+6 quints

>>14164301
38cm first.

>>14164301
38cm kai if you have them. Otherwise pastaguns of 51cm

>>14164291
You don't like day battles much do you.

>>14164306
>>14164308
>>14164309
I have Bismarck's guns, yes.

But what's the point of upgrading the proto51? They cost a lot of screws and don't give fit bonus to any ship (I think?)

>>14164319
>don't give fit bonus to any ship

Yes, and?

>>14164319
They're neutral on Nagato-class unlike 46cms. Not sure why, but it's like that.

>>14164319
That's why you upgrade it for accuracy bonus.

>>14164319
Proto 51cm are the strongest guns of all.
Upgrade Bisko guns and 41cm. Pasta guns make no sense, they're worse than Bisko guns and more expensive than 41cm. 35.6cm cost nothing to upgrade if you limit yourself to dailies so they're good too.

>>14164317
That's obviously a combined fleet set-up. Having double attack on more than 1 ship is a waste of boss kill opportunities.

>>14164273
Please. Try ranking on the hard mode server. I don't even bother.

>>14164356
