/jp/ - Otaku Culture

someone please post fleets for farming Prinz, Graf, and Akizuki

>>14381631
Prinz: Carrier fleet with tons of torpedo bombers.
Graf: Whatever fleet you normally use to clear boss node.
Akiduky: Whatever fleet you normally use to clear boss node.

Everyone, don't give up!
After 40S rank, the goddess finally come to me.
Welcome, German Kaga.

GRAF ZEPPELIN

WHERE ARE YOU

>>14381557
>forcing outdated Japanse culture

I'm starting to think I've been rused and Akizuki doesn't drop on easy at all.

>>14381717
It's called cultural exchange, dubshit.

>>14381718
She drop when you stop thinking about her.
Desire radar is real.

>>14380915

E-2 Hard, Drums only challenge w/ A rank. No support fleet. 81 TP

>>14381727
>>14380920
Oops, linked wrong post.

Red T. My first day S rank. Amazing.

Finally images.

So this happened during me trying to debuff the boss. I'm relatively neutral to her but here, Fubuki did nothing wrong and is a good girl.

>>14381732
Is she your starter? If not, who is?

Are you going to marry(temp) your starter?

>>14381732

>>14381296
Fubuki is love.

>>14381724
You might need to provide backup as much as you can in case you can't kill SS from escort engagement.

>>14381738
>CVLs
>"reliable" backup for killing subs when not carrying Akitsu Maru's ASW equipment or T0 sonars
Yeah no.

>>14381742
But judging from CLT performance in my STF, they do lower damage than CVL.
Anyway, it might work for your CTF. Good luck farming.

>>14381745
>STF
Hahahaha.
Duh. In kidou butai, the CLT always go first so they will always snipe the two 19hp subs. It is guarantee S rank once you reach boss using kidou butai.

>>14381631

zeppuu >>14376609

>>14381748
My suijo also guarantee S rank even in normal. Then maybe it just depends on equipment.
How about bucket usage? Mine is around 2.5/sortie.

How the fuck do you even do guaranteed routing in E4? Using surface fleet, I'm apparently the only nigga who gets sent to A instead of D.

>>14381761
>>14381755

or kidou with hashima/akitsumaru

>>14381761

>>14381755
That is kind of outdated. Current meta is running both the qt training boats.

I fucking hate this retarded event. Akizuki has not been available for an entire year and when they finally add her as a drop it's on the most obnoxious, long and boring shitty map they could come up with, plus a low as fuck drop rate. Spring was easy and fun, Summer was hard and fun, this is just tedious, boring shit. I don't care about resources, I stockpiled well, but I'm wasting entire days on this retarded shit because the map is so fucking long. Fuck Tanaka and fuck anyone who thought this was a good idea.

>>14381769
What if you didn't level Katori?

>>14381769
Why both of them? I thought only one is needed to bypass the sub node.

>>14381774
It should be fine.
I've leveled Kashima to 50 off of E-4 farming.
I'm sure she will be much higher by the time Zepu actually drops.

>>14381774
laughing dragons.jpg

>>14381735
No, Inazuma is.
She's level 57 and no I probably won't marry her. I married Isokaze as you can see and if I do marry a second one that isn't a large ship to continue using them for a lower cost, it'd probably be Sendai.

She was always the first ship on the list when sorting by levels and my dearest companion until Isokaze came along.
Even then she was still first on the list despite both of them being level 99. Now she's second and sitting on 99.

>>14381781
>not marrying ships the moment they reach level 99
This guy.

>>14381779
>E-4 farming
Boss or end node?

>>14381780
I don't really like her.

>>14381781
>She was always the first ship on the list when sorting by levels and my dearest companion until Isokaze came along.
Childhood friend syndrome, huh? Poor Sendai.

>>14381781
I wonder how it feels to be NTRed by some random trophy ship that just came to the base.

28 sorties. 24 retreats. E-3 is f u n

>>14381784
14 sorties to node M, 50 sorties to boss node.
Kashima was level 1 at the start, now she's 50. She's also the strongest sub killer in the fleet now.

Is escort flagship still unsinkable?

>>14381792
git gud

>>14381774
No problem.
They dont get hit and ASW calculation is based off equipment more than level. Bring 1 of Tereduki/Akiduki for extra AA protection.

>>14381798
And follow >>14381755 equipment chart?
2guns1sonar

>>14381798
How about M node? Don't ypo need BB in main fleet?

>>14381802
You'll need a different fleet for M. It's an installation with PT boats along for the ride.

>>14381800
Depend on your equipment and level. Mine torpedo slut all has minisub and 2guns and Akiduki has AACI. Only katori, kashima, CL and DD goes full ASW.

>>14381802
I don't know, I already got pudding.

>>14381808
Switch 2CLTs for 2CA with Sanshiki in escort fleet. Keep using same fleet. It's really light and sinks PTs pretty easily.

Abyssal Combined Fleet when

>>14381782
I thought of it but then it got into a loop of do rings even matter if everyone gets one? And if I just give them out as limit breakers, that wouldn't be fair to Sendai at all would it.
It's like currency, the more rings you have the lesser their value.
Also I blame Abukuma's existence. Though Sendai seems to be getting the spotlight at E-5 so maybe.

>>14381786
>>14381790
Thing is, Isokaze wasn't a random trophy ship. It was a premeditated crime.
Some guy revealed that he got Isokaze at AL/MI and scrapped her cause he thinks she's ugly. /jp/ still liked her a lot then and I was somewhat affected so with extreme indignation I sortied my fleet to E-5 in Spring over 70 S ranks specifically to save her.

I still like Sendai a lot though. Wish she could be just a little stronger so I can bring her everywhere.

Holy shit, those aimbot cunts at E2 first node. I need to run route support to keep my sanity.

>>14381831
Run aerial support. It's much cheaper and works just fine since everything is DDs.

First node: SS
Second node: SS
Third node: SS
Node M: SS

Drop: absolutely fucking nothing

arigatou gozaimasu Tanakasama

>>14381827
I just ring everyone who reaches level 99 just so as to waste as little EXP as possible. Of course, also for the extra stats. Married Kongous can use 46cms pretty well.

>that wouldn't be fair to Sendai at all would it
If anything, the arrangement you ended up with was even less fair to her.

Rocket launchers are the sanshiki against PT Imps.

FUCK ME

I WAS THINKING SO MUCH OF ZEPPELIN THAT I DIDN'T NOTICE I WAS ALREADY AT LAST KILL IN EASY

>>14381772
>Summer was ... fun

For E4 hard, is it better to go 2xsonar+depth charge or full sonar? I heard there was some synergy buff...

>>14381848

enjoy 乙 in E-5 LMAO

Why won't you F5?

>>14381848

If you cheese, at least, for gods sake, be fucking careful.

You 100% deserve what you get.

>>14381848
You no longer have an excuse. Save everyone, anon.

>>14381848
AHAHAHAHA.
This will probably come to be the biggest reason why people are missing hard medals for this event.
My girls were good though. I nearly had to build a time machine. My condolences.

>>14381855
Having at least one of each gives you an ASW bonus. Sonars are superior though so just give everyone 1 depth charge and fill the rest with sonar.

>>14381827
>And if I just give them out as limit breakers, that wouldn't be fair to Sendai at all would it.
>It's like currency, the more rings you have the lesser their value.
>I blame Abukuma's existence
>I still like Sendai a lot though. Wish she could be just a little stronger so I can bring her everywhere.
So many excuses in a single post. Nobody forces you to ring every single ship that hits level 99, only the ones that are "special" to you. Also, Sendai is strong enough, it's a poor excuse.

>It was a premeditated crime
>I sortied my fleet to E-5 in Spring over 70 S ranks specifically to save her.
From Sendai's perspective, she was a random trophy ship that joined your base. She got NTR'd hard, mate.

So what's at node D and C in E4? All subs?

>>14381848
Someone post laughing dragons.

>>14381848
I did it intentionally, my resource level didn't allow difficulty switching. I'm all focused on getting the girls.

>>14381869
Node D is all subs. Never hit node C before so I have no idea what's there.

>>14381870
laughingdragons.jpg

>>14381869
D has E4 worst nightmare.
C is the evasion penalty node.

Scrublord here, does the autogyro trigger artillery spotting?

>>14381869
D is only subs.

But fuck that map, reaching M is a pain in the ass thanks to these fucking WOs.

>>14381858
>>14381861
>>14381862
>>14381863

Fuck, I was so lucky that ONE of them missed a shot because that would've killed her for sure. Just now, I almost did the same mistake of going in without reseting the gauge.

I just want Zeppelin and then be over with this fucking event.

>>14381870

I can do it for myself.

>>14381827
>I still like Sendai a lot
>Wish she could be just a little stronger so I can bring her everywhere.
>Also I blame Abukuma's existence

>>14381852
It was fun.

>>14381876
>>14381880
So for M farming I should just take kidou with Akitsushima? Would it use less buckets? Cause that's my bottleneck right now.

>>14381848
You can f5 before result page, you know.

Does E4 boss debuff trigger after one kill for each of the side nodes?

And does it work for prefinal form, or just final?

>>14381885
Try it yourself.
Just bring 4CV and 3CLT
You should be reaching M node without any damage. If your DD can't kill the boss with double attack + wg2, sub a few extra CA into your fleet.

>>14381890
One kill each
all forms

>over 50k fuel and 300 buckets
>Still not pudding
JUST

Wait, E4 has boss debuff too?

>>14381892
Thanks, approx how much ASW would I need for M farming?

>Levels matter
Top lel

>>14381880
>reaching M is a pain in the ass thanks to these fucking WOs.
I've never had anyone take more than scratch from Wo. All my taihas are either the sub crits a DD or someone gets unlucky crit from Ta.

>>14381899
Apparently, but I just steamrolled through her strongest form with my fleet.

>>14381900
M node has subs? I thought it was just transport and pt boats.
Why would you need ASW?

>>14381893

Sweet. Flagship kill will suffice? Or do you need to S-rank them?

>>14381900
You don't need ASW, there are no subs.

>>14381848
>>14381863
>>14381881
>not resetting after every sortie
Get on my level.

>>14381909
There's no excuse not to S-rank them, it's easy as fuck.

>>14381907
>>14381912
I meant just for D.

>>14381839
>>14381867
Okay I admit. I was hesitating for Isokaze's sake instead. I mean no matter how angry I was it's not I would just go and marry Isokaze without coming to like her would I?

But yes since I'm most probably going to end up giving out rings to all the large ships just so I can continue using them, I'll marry Sendai later when we reach E-5.

Also my Kongous can use 46cms well enough without being married provided I give them a 38cm kai +9 to go with it. The 46cm is also +9 though. Using them now at E-4.

>>14381917
You skip D node genius.

>>14381917
you don't go through d with 2cv 2cvl

Just opened the door to freedom on E-5. Now I'm going to face her and destroy her existence.

>>14381917
CTF routes through A->B->F so there's no node D.

>>14381921
>>14381922
>>14381925
Okay I brainfarted.

I was so used to fucking retreating on node A on E-3 that I just retreated off of muscle memory when I no-hit perfect the node. Kill me. fucking kill me

Fuck this shit game. Not even running route support helps.

So what should I slap on Akitsushima for E4, triple Taitei?

>>14381919
>But yes since I'm most probably going to end up giving out rings to all the large ships just so I can continue using them
I didn't know lv. 99 ships are permabanned from sorties. My BBs and CLTs must be bugged, I hope Tanaka doesn't find out.

>>14381930
>I was so used to fucking retreating on node A on E-3
How do you retreat on an empty node, your ships friendly fire upon each other?

>>14381931
Using Mutsukis is a terrible price to pay for routing. I did it just fine with Jintsuu, Hamakaze and Yukikaze routing. Sparkle everyone and you'll make it past Ri.

>>14381848
Don't worry anon, you're not alone.

Torps or 15.5 on CLT for E4 M farm?

>>14381932
Zuiun, sonar, depth charge lets her shoot subs for pretty good damage, I do that a lot on 1-5. Just give her a normal zuiun though because it's sure to be resetted before long.

>>14381943
Yea sorry I was too busy slamming my head against the wall to realize it was node C.

>>14381946

>Torps
>into installation

I wonder.

>>14381946
>Torps or 15.5 on CLT
If it's not a hard final form kill why would you ever need CLT cut in?

>>14381882
>>14381934
You are right. I am a piece of shit and I should go and apologize to my girls then discuss about where to go from here.

Like most things in life, the only way to win is not to play. All hail the great equalizer.

Am I supposed to feel like shit if I only beat E-1 on easy so far?

>>14381961

Yes.

>>14381961
Why did you beat E-1 on easy? That lookout was free. Also you still have lots of time, don't get drunk on the atmosphere here where everyone's going at it as if there's no tomorrow.

This is good enough right? Will they have problems with installations?

>>14381961
I joined in January and completed winter E 1-3 on medium dropping to easy for 4 and 5. You have no excuse.

>>14381960
You're just a closet statfag, it isn't terminal.

>>14381967
I had like 4 buckets so I decided to go on easy

>>14381969
Wow, are you me?

>>14381961
How could you not already be feeling like a shit?

>>14381972
I gained 3 buckets while clearing E1 hard.

>>14381968
>Will they have problems with installations
Sure as fuck they will. Switch 2 CLT for CA holding sanshiki, they will do nothing but scratch boss in night battle and you can't rely on RNG to make your Nagato hit her with DA twice. You could bring only one CA if you're a CLT fetishist but if you get unlucky and she gets crit enjoy your A rank.

Any reason to keep Agano?

>>14381960
>BRB Gensokyo
>not BRB joining Abyssal side.

Fucking PT boat. Anyway to kill them
I use:
2CV 2CVL Hashima Maya (Main)
1CL 2DD 1CLT 2CA (Escort)
What should I do? I can't even kill that imp.

http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv242815820

scrapping Graf Zeppelin Kai so he can get another one.

I'm planning my fleets for the event now and I'm getting pretty stressed over meeting the requirements in the most optimal way possible.
Which DDs should I be saving for E4?

>>14381980
What I used to successfully kill them:
10cm+FD/12.7cm late model/upgraded 12.7cm guns on DDs (one is enough in day battle, two for night battles)
15.5 triple secondary/OTO
Radar cut-in
Seaplane bombers
Closing torps

They aren't that scary anymore.

>>14381989
Veriny and one more

I was excited for a moment. Fuck you why do you toy with my feelings like that.

>>14381989
Верный.

>>14381986

on his way to get a second one, easy mode farming.

>>14381986
So, it's impossible to get second Graf?

>>14381979
So I fuck them over in life and after I kill myself I still come back to fuck them again in the afterlife?
Are admirals ships? Do they turn abyssal when they die?

>>14381986
Why does he want a second one, just wants to rub it in the faces of those who still can't get her?

>tfw no Zeppelin

>>14382003
The plane is nice and farming her is cheaper than ranking. Quite obvious.

I have the vague feeling you need a perfect S at node M for rare drops.

>>14382007
Tell that to the guy who got one and didn't get any drop at all.

>>14382007
Nope

>>14381990
Is this enough?

>>14381989
Any for Fleet 1 + Veriny and two others for Fleet 2

Doesn't matter who. Just pick whoever wasn't used in the other maps. Consider Shigure and Fubuki (AACI).

Am I a bad person if I decide to save on buckets by letting my 2nd fleet flagship sit eternally in red?

>>14382006
>Another Reppuu with placebo
Is it really worth around 50K fuel?

>>14382022
Oh, never mind that. Just saw he has 250k+ to sink.

>>14382022
Ask rankers who spend more on 46cm proto.

>>14382022
The bigger issue is time.
I have been grinding for 12hours and still nothing.
Sure I still have 235k fuel and 2.7k bucket but this shit is time consuming. I want to go back to idlecolle.

>>14381657
>Prinz: Carrier fleet with tons of torpedo bombers.

How does that work? I thought Sanshiki BB fleet was the most efficient setup for enemy installations

>>14381989
Bep and Poi

>>14382029
>>14382028
Maybe he can get the second one next time. She is a drop not a reward.

>>14382031
Plane can overcrit. They kill hoppou all the time when you do 3-5. You only need 1 or 2 token CA to finish her off at night.

>>14382031
There's only one installation boss and a bunch of useless escorts. You bring as many bombers as you can to rape everything in opening strike on all nodes, then sanshiki CA in escort fleet finishes the boss easily if it survives. Cost is also important, you can reliably S-rank the whole thing with no BBs.

>>14381993
And I still don't have her, even though I have Yamato and Bisko.

This sure looks promising. All these empty nodes sure are fun.

I node is worse than M.

>3 kidou runs without a drop
Might as well switch back to suijou.

How the fuck do you read this? Why is the range so huge?
It also doesn't match manual counting of (25 per green plane + Air power) either when I went back to an older version of the viewer.

I'm trying to get AS+ for E-4 hard but I'm not sure how different it is from easy.

>>14382031
>I thought Sanshiki BB fleet was the most efficient setup for enemy installations
Fucking retard. Have you ever heard about damage cap? Have you ever looked at stats of enemies you fight?

>dupe yuu
What do?
Still no Zepp.

>>14382054
Use Yuubari or update gakada. Higher value is always almost spot on.

>>14382057
>What do?

Depends what you did with the first one.

>>14382057
Remodel her

Which recommend difficulty for E-4 completion would you guys recommend?
I'd like to farm for Pudding at some point either before or after beating the boss.

>>14382060

>>14382055
Anon, I don't think even 1% of kancolle players understand how plane overcrit works or even that it is a thing.

>>14382064
Good man. Grab the second FaT.

>>14382059
I am on Yuubari's 4.1.7. I just updated from 3.8.1.9 and am rather confused by this. Previously I just took the displayed value and added them by number of planes.
The numbers didn't match up when I went back to the older version to check.
Picture is what showed on the older version.

>>14382064
Keep her like that then.

Unless you want muh FaT.

RLM75/76 with Japanese markings? Luftwaffe still use Balkenkreuz even today for fucks sake. IJN would've repainted it into Type S scheme like they did with all trophy fighters instead of just slapping their markings over it. What the fuck? Why?

>>14382074
All german planes are like that.

Kazagumo stop hiding already.

At least farming her isn't bullshit and expensive like last event.

Man, Node J is probably the worse yasen in recent memory. It hurts to retreat.

Jesus E5 is the real bucket killer, gone down 30 and not even out of transport phase. Meanwhile resources have barely taken a dent.

>>14382068
Yeah but Sanshiki were around... since forever? It's not even BB Sanshiki vs plane overcrit, Sanshiki are just plain bad on main fleet, AP Shells are much better choice, hell, even radar is better.

>>14382084
>mfw she dropped during my first sortie this event

>>14382088
Yeah, killing the boss isn't even hard but it's closing torp galore.

>>14382082
Green camo with jap markings doesn't look as retarded as schiefergrau. Way to ruin a plane Tanaka, now it's going to sit endlessly at the base.

Do you guys go for AS or AS+ when farming E-4?

>>14382093
>plane overcrit
Please explain how to calculate.

>>14382102
AS. You have too much bauxite anyway.

>>14382102
AS with suijou, AS+ with kidou.

Good luck TTKs!

>>14382102
Just AS at I node

>>14382069
>>14382072
Well, I have time to think over it

>>14382103
It's probably on wiki. You could simply read the threads.
10% bonus for each double chevron, additional 10% if bomber is in first slot, lower rank have lower bonus, max bonus is 50%. Bonus damage only applies to crits. The more bombers with ranks you have and the higher their ranks are, the higher chance of crit.

>>14382109
She somehow looks like Ganbarimasu robo with Delicious cake Idol voice.

>>14382109
I want to commit a crime.

>>14382082
Also it looks pretty right. Ju-87 ingame has completely retarded colour scheme in the first place so it's kinda not as noticeable as the shit they did to Fw-190, which is totally unacceptable.

How can I make this setup better? I'm taking off only 36 TP each run on Hard at least, and only up to 58ish. I've got boss support and it usually takes out only two ships.

>>14382132
Don't you have Yuudachi or Ayanami?

What is the recommended number of drums to bring for E-3 when clearing it on hard mode?

>>14382146
Stuff as many as possible in your main fleet, they wont do anything besides getting hit anyway.

>>14382146
Literally everyone in your first fleet should be carrying drums or daihatsu, They can't contribute shit to combat.

>>14382146
your first fleet a shit, fill them with drums

>>14382132
Putting searchlight on Yukikaze on bottom is just asking for boss to shoot her every time. Give her a star shell instead, and turn Mikazuki into a pure barrel mule on the lowest slot. No point putting one gun, it does nothing and you benefit more from another barrel. Also Hatsushimo is an absolutely fucking terrible choice for anything if you're not using her for cut-in, her stats are barely better than base kai DDs. Bring someone like Shimakaze or Yuudachi instead.

>>14382146
12 drums + 1-3 Daihatsu on AV.
Seirans go to 12 slots, rest is filled with daihatsu on AV. Other planes or slots aren't worth it. For final kill switch AV to CAV and make CAV flagship with FCF and combat eq because Akitsu Maru needs three fighters.

>>14382132
Look at this, only drums and still A rank.
>>14381727
The TP reward for this was about 80pts.

Send help

Green-t

Ayanami just blasted ta-chan down in daytime with a 75 crit, gee

>>14382181
What a fucking goddess

>>14382181
There are those random crits combined fleet does.
Had my Yuubari on full ASW gear sucker-punch flag Ri for 63 at E4

Hankousen for the fifth fucking time in a row. It's literally impossible to kill her in Hankousen no matter how good gear you have

I guess I really have to debuff

I am Euro.

>>14382196
Wow that's her hard mode final comp? There's no way in hell anyone will be able to S rank that. Thank god we don't have to.

>>14382074
Apparently that one game about planes also goes with german colour scheme for japanese fw190 while giving bf109 a repaint. Also, the topic triggered my autism, and I tried to find some info on the topic, but all I got were some discussions claiming that you can't even state with certainty that 109s were repainted and it isn't just their factory color scheme + strange lighting, so I would like some sources on it.

>>14382156
Well, the boss has a searchlight. Shouldn't I bring a searchlight of my own too?

What is this menu use for? I've never noticed it until now.

>>14382193
I was really surprised when ASW Ooyodo hit Wo for 62 damage, probably saved me a bucket.

>>14382196
Is this Teru equipped with an AACI setup? If yes, you're basically asking for failures.

>>14382216
Fuck off.

>>14382219
No, full ASW because her ASW is actually pretty good

>>14382221
Rude...

>>14382215
You don't need one, I did it just fine with star shell. If you absolutely must bring one then put it on your Mikazuki so Yukikaze doesn't run the rick of getting hit to red before her turn comes.

Okay raise your hands, whomever has gotten anything worthwhile from E4M?

>>14382235
Prinz

>>14382196
Less CLTs and more Katori and DDs.

>>14382198
Why are Yuu attempts and Graf attempts different?

>>14382235

I dropped Akitsumaru but I already have 2 of her...

Is it essential to have type 3 sonars/depth charges for SS hime, because my DD/CLs fully loaded with type 93s can never kill her. This is on easy too.

>>14382235
4 Akitsumaru

>>14382235
Dupe Libe, dupe army dog, Roma. No Prinz yet. I should wait for the timeframe I got those.

>>14382216
Just click around and you'll understand yourself. It won't scrap you ships.
Then follow this anon advice. >>14382221

>>14382211
Trophy P-40s were repainted when pressed into service so I assume the same pattern. In pacific climate paitjob was naturally removed in months anyway, if the plane was kept long enough it would get standard Type S scheme.

>>14382235
Graf Zeppelin and Hayashimo

>>14382236
How many runs?

>>14382248
20 or 30 maybe
But I've been trying again in hopes of getting Roma and I haven't seen shit in hours

>>14382235
Prinz and a Roma I didn't ask for. At least her equips were useful.

>>14382235
Yes, I got enough fodder to max out my Kashima's FP and armour.

>>14382235
I haven't gotten a single rare drop from there and i've gone through 30k fuel and ammo already. The worst part is getting a perfect S rank and going home withou any drop at all. All i want is the aryan cutie, Tanaka pls.

>>14382251
Easy?

>>14382265
Yes

FINALLY
FUCK YOU /JP/ I DON'T NEED YOUR OBSOLETE MAGIC

>>14382251
Fuck off I've run 150+ times and no prinz.

Is Agano rare?
I kinda want to scrap her for space

Finally out of this hell hole.

Failed debuff for the second time in a row. I suck at this game

>>14382276
>E2
>hell hole

Good one.

>>14382269
>face censored
Is this a porno?

Anyone know the drop rate for pudding? My resources are starting to buckle and I'm not even sure she exists anymore.

Pretty sure I'm gonna run out of fuel before zep drops. Was hoping I would get her before taking a few days off.

>>14382281
60k fuel, 300 buckets still no drop.

>>14382276
If you thought E-2 was bad, I have good news for you anon, E-3 is even worse.

>>14382283
Fuck I started with 35k fuel and 300 buckets, Tanaka's fucking PT babies are getting on my fucking nerves too.

FUCKING HELL, 2% drop rate they said, probably got everything from the drop table except for Yuu.

>>14382281
0.5% according to chinese database with more sample size and 1% according to the japanese one with a smaller sample size.

>>14382272
she's the most common of her class
i think

>>14382290
>0.5%
>200 S ranks average

E1 Hard is an absolute cakewalk. I was able to complete all four stages within an hour, only being harmed by chip damage.

Easiest Skilled Lookouts get ever.

>>14382294
I'm pretty sure that's not how probability works.

>>14382287
Going to be sitting on easy E3 for a while and taking it easy~

How would you guys rate this event compared to previous ones? It's more or less my first one, and I don't think I'm enjoying myself that much.

>>14382289
>has Zeppuu
>complains about Yuu

>>14382302
E1 is piss easy. The rest are shit on higher difficulties without some specific ships.

>>14382156
Like this?

>>14382301
Do you have Akitsumaru? If not then you're fucked, you can't get AS and you should just wait for winter to get ducky.

>>14382302
It's retarded. Making an event difficult purely by making specific ships necessary is plain terrible balance.

Post your medals.

>>14382302
One of the worst I've experienced. There's no fun and challenge in clearing it and making the good ships a rare drop is fucking retarded.

Fuck me sideways, I've just sortied with chuuha DDs.

>>14382302
Pretty easy to clear (except for E-3 if you don't have Akitsumaru) but the transport mechanic is annoying, the rewards for clearing are bad and the drop rates for rare ships are terrible.

>>14382310
Yea, I heard it was just one bucket per run without supports.

>>14382311

>>14382311
These are the only ones that matter.

>>14382309
Yeah this is pretty much what I used to clear. I sparkled everyone, brought aerial route and boss support and S-ranked boss everytime I reached.

>>14382310
I got AS on E-3 medium with Kumano and Mizuho

>>14382294
More like: you are 40% likely not having prince at 200 rank S.

>>14382329
I got AS too with Chitose + Chiyoda but then I lost it quickly because the Tsu rapes your seaplane bombers hard and you lose all ranks.

>>14382289
Here's mine.

Just checked kancolle-db and it says Yuu has 0.23% drop rate. Holy shit is that accurate?

>>14382324
You mean you are irrelevant who always try to make excuses from being a scrub.

>>14382341
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

>>14382349
>Trying to cover your scrubness by being grammar nazi

Just quit the game already, retard.

Take bets. Also is this the fabled Hankousen?

>>14382358

Can I send DMM points from one account to another? Send them as gift or something?

>>14382358
BB Hime shoots Isuzu in yasen

>>14382358
S rank and Zepp.

EVERYTHING BUT DUCKY

Gibe setup for Prinz.

>>14382369
I spent so long trying to get her last time and got her trying to get ducky. Didn't even know she dropped there.

>>14382373
12 Mutsukis.

So anyone knows E4 medium total hp pool? I screwed up once and left her wsith 30-40 hp, will I still make it in 5 runs? My resorces are running dry, and having atleast E4 clear before going back to stockpiling for final assault would give me some peace of mind.

>>14382339
Then you are 80% likely of not having her at 100S.

>>14382373
2x Quints, 20.3cm(3) and skilled lookouts.

After 10+ runs (I lost count, it was too many) I only wanted Graf Zeppelin but all I get is this goddamn sub, I hate this piece of shit game.

>>14382373
Here.
I just went to M to debuff the boss.

>>14382382

>>14382365
BB Hime shoots Ooi but Wo kai taihas Verniy. Isuzu misses. Since when was Wo able to hit anything with yasen planes anyway.
41 hp left. I hate this already.

>>14382387
You've got Prinz and Yuu shut the fuck up.

>>14382387
>10+
Why are you even complaining? Come back when you are at 100

>>14382381
Danke danke.

>>14382385
Actually, on E3 she did great with two guns, Quint and seaplane. Enough power in yasen while being very useful during day, she knocked out quite a lot of Ri and some Ru as well.

>>14382388
Thanks. Two Taitei-chans and FCF on Akitsushima?

>>14382393
ABKM already locked in E3.

>>14382394
Hmm, Maya might work.

>>14382391
Thanks.

Holy fuck. Godfuckingdamned PT Imps blocked me from defeating E4 M node twice in a fucking row, what the hell.

Dechi used to be my favourite sub.
Now I can barely stand to look at her.

Great, my Yuugumo Collection is finally up to date. Farming at E3F is quite relaxing by the way, if you don't mind low drop rates and low sortie rate (morale is a pain in the ass), you can try going there for Maruyus. It costs only ~150 fuel/ammo per sortie and about 2 (+/- 1) buckets per 5 runs

>>14382427
Goya is not dechi, dechi.

>>14382421
Rocket launchers on your DDs.

/jp/ MAGIC PLEASEEEEEEEEEE

>>14382430

That's not how /jp/ magic works you window licker

>>14382437
Hey I like licking windows, don't associate me with him.

>>14382356
>>14382341
You are either a troll or very pathetic. Probably both?

>>14382437
Don't blame him, newfags can't into advanced /jp/ sorcery.

How many farming runs do you run a day?

I just can't get enough of Kuroshio and Aoba, I want to build a harem of them and scrap everyone else, surely no one in their right minds would want Prinz over them.

>>14382433
You need to say: Fuck you Tanaka!! and complain everything you have gone thru.

>>14382436
12.7cms are bullshit for me. Constant misses, rocket launchers deal 30-40 damage against imps.

>>14382448

QUIT PLAYING GAMES WITH MY HEART

>>14382468
>>14382480

Please E3 give me Mogami. It's been 3 runs already without a Mogami, I can barely stand it.

>>14382487
2 runs without a Mogami, I feel your pain anon.

I really need more Mogami's.

>>14382487
That's not how the magic works

>>14382448
>>14382462
>>14382487
>>14382488
Is this the point where people stop being frustrated and just go insane?

>>14382485
Is that actually enough for AS?

This motherfucking game. JUST ONE MORE NODE.
There's no way they'll sink her right?

I've got 465 buckets left, and I've gotten one A rank on E3.

I should probably just give up and go kuso if I want to farm for Graf and Prinz, right?

>>14382493
Git gud

>>14382492
With plane ranks >> planes get AS very easily. 4 planes is enough for AS+.

>>14382492
Pic related would probably get AS on E-4M, the pre nodes not so much

>>14382491
Getting frustrated at rngsus is a sin, embrace the savior and let him wash away your rage.

>>14382491
At 80 sorties I start losing it.
At 100 sorties I start playing really loud music and screaming every time anything happens.

>>14382492
Yes and that's not even Type 53 Iwamoto because I only have 1 crane kai ni.

What is the most ideal fleet compo for aerial support?

5 CV(L) + 1 DD? 4 CV(L) + 2 DD?

>>14382506
You need 2DD for support expeditions.

>>14382506
Don't you need to have 2DD in support fleet?

>>14382411
Instead of ABKM just bring a CL.

Wait a min, I killed both M and J but why is the boss color still dark blue?
Does it only work for final form?

>>14382510
That's what I did. That was the only crit in whole battle and PTs were bitches.

>>14382516
It is often said that Kuma-chan is unexpectedly excellent, kuma.

>>14382493
just use FCF

>>14382507
>>14382509
Oh yeah, you need 2 DD.

So something like 3CV + 1CVL + 2DD?

Also, if the boss node doesn't have any fighter planes, do you just load torp/drive bombers only?

>>14382516
I'd put yellow guns instead of red on your CL so they can hit PT boats easier. I had the CA at the bottom of the escort fleet with type 3s, they'd nuke the boss if there was an actual need to go into night battle.

>>14382493
>locking your waifu to E4 instead of the 3 other maps

>>14382391
No it wasn't, apparently. Though I will scrape by resources for another run.

>>14382520
Kuma is a truly wonderful not-bear, kuma.

>>14382529
Worth a try for final debuffing run. I need some exp in fighting little bitches.

>>14382535
Well sorry but my yes was for your first question.

>>14382533
Nothing wrong with that.

>>14382541
I'm proud anon. I hoped that's what you meant as I wanted to reply in the same way.

>Consider drop rate in nipwiki is true. If you are at 80th S rank, you are likely 50% not having pudding.
Muh resources.

Only five S ranks, what a beautiful day. Best of luck to everyone.

>>14382526
Accuracy penalty applies so you just can't shove four attack planes on a CV.

Also, don't use torp bombers. Their multiplier is lower than dive bombers.

Equip your CV/L something like:
- 2 of your best drive bombers for two highest plane slot
- 2 or 1 RADARs on the rest of the slot

RADAR provides you accuracy which you don't need to sparkly your CVs at all.

>>14382555
Fuck off FUCK OFF

>>14382556
Anon, it ISN'T shelling support.

How nostalgic. Do you remember when she was a trophy ship?

Wow, great aerial support.

>>14382556
I had better luck just stuffing 4 bombers on everyone. Unlike shelling support aerial support makes an individual attack per bomber so just massing 16 hits is sure to take something out.

>fuel: 7628

Just fucking kill me now, take me out back and end it all.

>>14382566
Those are some dank glasses.

>>14382570
>9102
I feel you. At least I already have Zeppuu and I'm stuck at Prinz.

>>14382556
That's a whole lot of phooey.

I ran aerial route sp for e3 and I just stuffed 4 cv with the best red and blues with a saiun each. They could clear 1-4 mooks a volley.

>>14382570
I'll kill you if you kill me

>>14382575
The fuck? That's the first time hearing someone loading yellow planes for support.

>>14382578
Okay, but only if we kill Tanaka first.

Thank you Lord, now I can clear this map on hard and never come back again.

By the way, after putting German girls in I got her fairly quickly.
(Maybe it's placebo, but hey.)

>>14382583
Was mostly placebo in case accuracy really did play a part.

>>14382570
Mutsu is ok.

Kazagumo is still a lie.

I'm torn between farming ducky or pudding.

I already have ducky's sister though I'm not sure if getting the 2nd ship is worth it or not.

Enjoy my delicious German exp fags.
Goodnight.

>>14382609
Faggot.

Hard mode done, time to farm Asashimo and Arashi. E-5 hard wasnt much different from the few runs I tried on easy.

>>14382555
Easy difficulty?

>>14382583
>>14382590

Anyone else trying Saiun in place of radars?

E5 is gonna be a bitch, isn't it?

I can almost see all the fucking buckets going down the drain.

>>14382487
This is not Mogami, E3.

Maybe I should stop being stubborn and use route/boss support for E-2.
Having Hamakaze and the Mutsukis below kai isn't helping this at all either.

>>14382623
No, it's actually very easy.

>>14382623
It's a single fleet map, so it's not really bucket intensive, though you will get sent back a lot during the TP gauge phase.

Trying to come up with an E3 farming comp without army dog or AVs is blowing my mind

>>14382625
You should in such situation.

>>14382603
I decided to go for Prinz.

Teru is cuter anyway.

>>14382629
>>14382633

I got to boss three times so far, with 3-4 girls taiha'd every single time.

At 320 TP and less than 20 points per run I'll be doing a shitload of sorties.

>>14382641
I'd assume carrier support for both since its mostly just low armor DDs?

>>14382624

If I take Graf and the Z girls to node M will Prinz come to me?

Just give up already, Tanaka.
You're not gonna hide Prinz forever.

>>14382649
Yeah. This event is magical, lots of DDs and finally support other than shelling is viable.

Historical question: Have any of the Kanmusu in the game sunk and been refloated?

>>14382660

Wait what? Airstrike support is viable? Did they change something?

Is it actually useful on, say, E5 boss node?

Is the STF better for node M farming eugen? Having to put Akitsushima for fixed branching in CTF seems kind of bad

>>14382680
Every plane has separate roll so there are way more attacks, even though they're weaker.

>>14382683
Only M node poses any danger and that is true for both types of CF.

>>14382683
Just don't use Akitsushima. STF is lighter on resources, but heavier on buckets.

>>14382683
Nigga Kidou butai rekts 4-5 enemies every time without fail, throw in a CLT and you're looking at taking absolutely no damage until M.

>>14382648
Post your setup. 20 points on A is pretty bad.

>>14382700

Sendai/Shigure/Kawakaze/Kitakami/Yuudachi/Ayanami. Double attack setups, 4 drums on DDs. I could chuck another one on Sendai I guess, in lieu of night scout.

I barely get enough kills to score A with this too.

Does hard have a higher chance of dropping Prinz and Zep or is it just placebo?

I already got Akizuki on easy. Should I start doing hard or keep farming Mizuho or Umikaze? I got like 450 buckets left and 90k fuel.

>>14382718

Would you rather have a near-guaranteed 2% roll or ~50% chance (if even that!) at 3% roll? For ~700 fuel/ammo run each time?

>>14382728

Do you plan on getting Graf?

I'd move on to E4 if yes in your place.

#80 E4 Medium

>>14382732
Yeah, I want her and Prinz, maybe Yuu as well. Should I try hard or go full kuso and clear it on easy?

Fuck me.

I can't put an E3 comp together for the life of me. Is this viable? And this is for easy mode

RNG様、プリンをお願いします

Okay guys I give up. How do I sink the miserable wrench at E-4 Hard last dance?
I arrived at the boss once with both Yuubari and Ooyodo of main fleet at green but SShime didn't even go below 100hp before yasen.

>>14382739

Depends, really. Farm on kuso, that's for sure.

What's the average level of the backbone of your fleet? Do you have top of the line equipment and planes?

>>14382749
Replace Kumano with your best AV
