DD colle indeed.

>>15355026
Stop discriminating against us!

>>15355079
No one cares about slaves.

>>15355026
Its becoming harder to care about Kai 2s these days.

>>15355026
>>15355079
There's Ro.

>>15355084
I do.

>>15355079
Don't worry, the golden age of subs is still going to come. I bet it'll even be before the golden age of BBVs.

What went wrong?

>>15354776
Paramushir here, anyone else having trouble connecting to the game? Game doesn't even seem to load.

Cute cowtit ships

>>15355297
Nothing, she found happiness when I ringed her.

>>15355313
This is not cute.

>>15355330
Iowa is very cute!

>>15355352
Sexy yes, cute no.

>>15355297
Nothing. All is right in the world.

>Roma
>Amagi
>Ooshio
Who should I give my next blueprint to lads?

>>15355675
Which one do you like the most? If "none, I'm a filthy statwhore" - Ooshio.

>>15355675
The one that gives you an extra daihatsu.

>>15355675
Ooshio > Roma > Amagi

>>15355675
If you haven't remodeled Littorio yet then Roma, pasta equipment is too good to pass on.

>>15355352
She is a walking sex slave, nothing more.

So Asagumo and Michishio were just memes?

>>15355711
The only blueprint ships I haven't remodeled are the 3 I mentioned, Taigei, and Bisko.

>>15355675
Roma, then Ooshio, then Amagi.

Unless you plan to rank.

>>15355807
Great wife.

>>15355297
She got the D

>>15355831
>implying she didn't just take the D
She ain't spiking your food for nothing, anon.

>>15355814
What the fuck does your post mean? Can you speak like a human being?

Finally, only missing Ooyodo for the auxiliary ships for now.

>>15355852
Ooyodo is a light cruiser.

After reading up on it I'm hoping Iowa never ever gets a remodel based on her '84 refit because that was just a complete blunder from beginning to end. Kinda embarassing to see her name thrown around in the dirt like that really.

Damn Krauts.

>>15355860
What's so bad about it? She got missiles and shit.

>>15355868
Yeah, she blows.

Is like the American Mutsu.

>>15355855
Yeah, my bad. For some reason I think of her as auxiliary ship because of her usefulness.

How much luck is it reasonable to have for torpedo DD?

>>15355890
She was the most usefull CL during spring event.

>>15355904
At least 50.

>>15355904
40~60 if just a torpedo DD.
Equal to luck cap if waifu.

>>15355887
Are you saying there were inherent faults in the refit that caused the turret explosion, or?

>>15355861
>>15355887
Hey, remember when Mutsu exploded and the Japanese admiraly put the blame on some poor bastard who conveniently died in the accident and had no way of defending himself because they couldn't admit the technical shortcomings of their battleships? Boy, these barbaric japanese sure are silly! This would never have happened aboard a United States Navy ship!

3 Kaga drops today, But I still have no Hiryuu :(

At least they're good AA mod fodder.

>>15355904
I can say from own experience that 40 is only enough with Skilled Lookouts. Go for 60.

>>15355904
50 if the cap for torpedo only cut-in. 60 for mixed gun and torpedo loadout.

>>15355951
Anon, stop living in the cave.
It's well known fact 60 is the cap for torp cut-in.
Higher cap is 70+, for flagship with mixed cut-in.

Crafted my second Yamato right before I finally got Bismarck.

Any point levelling her up to Kai?

>>15356005
To upgrade your 51cms

>>15356005
You can use up to 4 Yamatos

>>15355860
But we'll need the Tomahawks to use against all the installation-type bosses the devs are sure to toss at us in the future.

>>15355887
Her sisters never suffered an identical disaster despite getting the same refit. Your argument is invalid.

>If you're using Satsuki for combat you have better things to worry about than her HP.

So what should I worry about?

>>15355918
Accidental powder explosions are a bitch.

>>15355918
In Iowa's case they at least reopened the investigation.

>>15356051
Her firepower, torpedo and armor.

Satsuki has great miscellaneous stats but her standard combat stats suck.

>>15356055

Bet some brass in the USN can't wait til railguns become operational to bring battleships back without having them explode spontaneously every thursdays.

>>15355918
IIRC, it wasn't a problem with the ship's design but with improper storage of munitions, particularly Type 3 shells.

>>15356065
Zumwalt?

>>15355918
Man that is a big turret though.

>>15356093
For you.

>>15356061
Easier to reopen an investigation when the entire ship hasn't exploded, the government hasn't collapsed, and all the paperwork hasn't been put to the torch in preparation for occupation.

>>15356091
Why is this thing suddenly being mentioned in each thread? Was it only commissioned few days ago?

>>15356097
You forgot the most important part. It wasn't wartime.

>>15356099
Well this time it was the mention of railguns.

>>15355026
>>15355087
Why do people say this? The DDs alone outnumber every other unremodeled class combined.

>>15356091
Zumwalts are so ugly, I hate them.

Really hoping that radar stealth crap turns out out to be bullshit and USN goes back to ships that actually look like ships, cause putting a railgun on those horrors would be such a waste of a cool concept

>>15355918

>Turret explodes
>Don't replace it with a flight deck

Foolish Americans.

>>15356162
You couldn't launch a plane from the 15 meters space between the bridge and the A turret of an Iowa class no matter how hard your tried

>>15356171
Jack of all trades are always crap anyway. Just look at Graf and the Ise-class.

>>15356162
>Foolish Americans

We are talking about the sama Americans that though that BBs were still useful after the WW2, right?

Guess some merchant got good money for the refits, maintenance and fuel.

>>15356093
Fucking big.
This is just 1 barrel.

>>15356196
The Russians still use battlecruisers.

>>15356209
They do? Thought all their people's fleet rusted.

Anyways, Russians aren't the best example as not being fools.

>>15356196
A week after taking command, Moosally and his executive officer, Mike Fahey, canceled a planned $1 million repair package for Iowa's main gun batteries, including repairs to the main gun turrets' lighting, electrical, powder hoists, and hydraulic systems—75 detailed deficiencies in all. Instead, the funds were spent on overhauling the ship's powerplant

>>15356209
>battlecruisers
Stop deliberately misleading people.

Forgot to >imply

>>15356209
These aren't battlecruisers anon. Battlecruiser implies big guns.

>>15356235
>>15356226
Well they are really oversized Missile cruisers.
Kirov-class battlecruiser
Apparently they are getting refitted again.

>>15355933
where are you farming her? I figure I'll get one eventually trying to make taiho.

Are you people sure Akashi level doesn't affect upgrade success? I've been upgrading duck guns and only failed twice at +7 out of 4 guns. Also upgraded the night scout and didn't fail at all.

>>15356264
>Only got 7 CVLs when trying for Taiho.
>Taiho just appeared during Japan downtime.

>>15356270
Only thing that matters is if Akashi is kai or not

>>15356264

Was doing 3-3 and 4-4 runs, got 2 of them back to back.

>>15356296

Speaking of, my daily construction got me my fourth Souryuu, I really need to just level the fuck out of my spares and drop them so they stop eating up slots.

>>15356270
While we are on it, whether the Akashi is sparkled or not and whether she's resupplied or not matter as well.

>>15355297
She had whiskey.

>>15356375
>whether the Akashi is sparkled or not

Hold the fuck on. Source on this?

Welp, KCV runs like ass while HoI4 is running as well.

>>15356375

You better start talking son. I'm sparkling my Akashi for this new placebo meme just in case

>>15356415
That better be the Field Marshall edition goy.

>>15356375
I don't know, she's always been at 100 morale through PvP.

>>15356568
Why would you level her past 35?

>>15356582
Why wouldn't you?

>>15355330
>>15355379
>>15355777
How can you not find this smile cute?

Why can't I beat 6-3?

>>15356594
Mine is lv99.

She's still gonna make three trips to 1-1 to be extra safe.

>>15356582
Because level 90 is the optimal level for everybody.

>>15356622

Well what fleet are you using?

>>15356639
ABKM, Ooshio, Ayanami, Yuudachi, Kasumi, Mizuho

4-5 ships taiha on the boss node

>>15356648
Use a proper CL like Kuma.
You probably have mediocre levels and eq. I remember that map being somewhat easy.

>>15356648
ABKM sucks for 6-3. The opening torp only shoots once and lacks the punch to even properly damage over half of the enemies while someone like jintsuu can do some real damage twice with artillery spotting while also carrying a night scout

>>15356407
>>15356535
Source is fresh right from his ass.
I don't mind if that's really the case though, my Akashi is permanently 100 from pvp.

>>15356662
Opening torp is perfectly fine, though.

>>15356687
It isn't needed though and it's better to use ships you like.

dude nice

Trying LSC for Akitsumaru. Got any recommended numbers?

I usually only do two and then wait for the end of another event then do another two, but she keeps on getting good routing, so I'm feeling compelled to keep trying.
Just now ended up getting a second Taihou instead.

Does Nagato have a good drop rate from 2-4 boss?

>>15356920
Do LSC if you want a Nagato.

>>15356926
Default recipe?

>>15356698
but I like abukuma

http://www.strawpoll.me/10418080

please respond

>try to craft nagato
>Katori pops up

Fuck tanaka and fuck this game

>>15356920
No.
Besides, what kind of lunatic would farm 2-4? Like 50 tries just for the compass to decide it's boss time.

Cute.

>>15356920
Lots of drop and construction statistics from these two sites:

http://db.kcwiki.moe/drop/
http://kancolle-db.net/

Just do LSC for other ships if you want Nagato, you'll probably get one as a failure.

Speaking of 6-3, I think I got this.

>>15357069
Do you want the short or the long answer?

>>15357026
This can easily be shooped into the pregnancy test.

>>15357153
Why would you impregnate Yayoi?

>>15356064
Indeed, but unfortunately she is in the second-string lineup of tank-compatible ships, where you save Bep/Kasumi for later maps.

>>15356196
>We are talking about the sama Americans that though that BBs were still useful after the WW2, right?

I dunno, Iowa and her sisters certainly pulled their weight in Korea, and Wisconsin and Missouri did fair business in Desert Storm.

>>15357026
I just noticed this is by Mutsuki's artist.

>>15356196
>>15357294
It was mostly due to the Cold War, were the US anticipated a conflict with the Soviets so they needed all the ships they build/ could get a hold of. The Iowa class was one of them. The psychological impact of those 16 inch shells is a plus factor unmatched even by missiles. During the Gulf War, an Iraqi unit surrendered to a spotting drone of USS Wisconsin after witnessing the effects of USS Missouri's previous shellings.

>>15357026
>>15357311
K2 CONFIRMED

>>15356537
It's a pirated Field Marshal edition :^)

>>15357362
>pirated
Goy please, there is still time to buy HoI4.

should I use support for the last kill? I don't think I can handle double ta.

>>15357457
If you want to waste resources.

>>15357469
if it's coming down to getting lucky with the last shot with one ta how am I going to deal with two?

>>15357520
Use Kitakami.

>>15357069
45 buckets later, I can't believe Mochizuki hit the boss and Akatsuki finished Harusame off.

>>15357325
What the fuck is wrong with Americans keeping Constitution in commission for ridiculous ceremonies. Make her into a Museum on land already or something. Let that old girl rest already.

>>15357546
No.

>>15357026

>>15357546
Ships are more happy on the water though.

>going to swap out Katori for Hiyou in fleet
>Didn't realise I went to the modernise page
>Accidentally modernise Katori using Hiyou who was a level away from Kai
>Only realise right as I hit yes what I did

>>15357627
CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES

>>15357627
If only there was something that prevented ships from showing up in the modernization page, right?

>>15357655
I think I need to go to bed

I'm obviously tired if I clicked through 2 screens without realising I wasn't doing what I wanted to do

>>15357660
Never play this game while tired.

>>15357671
I never once lost focus while playing events after more than 24 hours of uptime. You're just being retarded.

>>15357682
Why am I retarded for telling someone not to play this game when they're tired?

Especially when it's not uncommon for people to post about the mistakes they made whilst playing tired.

>>15357690
You can be tired all you want, but focusing on the screen with few left clicks and all in-game functions memorized like a mechanical clockwork are simple enough. This isn't rocket science.

>>15357695
Holy shit this retard. Fatigue reduces your focus. That's the thing that's not rocket science.

>>15357695
I don't really care how simple you think this is. People still make these mistakes, as >>15357627, >>15357660 has shown.

>>15357660
Lock your fucking ships, what do you think the heartlock does?

>>15357709
Fatigue does reduces your focus, but when it comes to just playing a boat simulation game when you only use a goddamn left click to do all the things, committing such newbie mistakes makes you retarded, and you only have to blame but yourself.

>>15357695
>Why it has to have foolproof concept in this world
You're overestimating people.

>>15356698
>use ships you like
>posts elite fleet
Not to mention that using non-elites for 6-3 makes it that much harder.

>>15356926
Minimum.

>>15357731
All your grammatical errors make you retarded, and it's "you only have yourself to blame" btw.

>>15357731
It happens to newbies. It isn't because they are retarded, it because they aren't as experienced/robotic as you are in clicking. That's why the "Never play this game while tired." is an effective advice, it is aimed toward newfags who do stupid mistakes. If you know what you are doing then you should not care about that advice in the first place.

>>15357761
Even if I lose the the English grammar contest, I have an actual point to ponder. Where's yours? You have none to give, and that makes you retarded.

Virtually swimming in Kirishima drops today, which feels odd since she was by far the hardest kongou for me to obtain.

>>15357769
That's the thing, giving advice to newbies grinds my gears when the OP of the threads redirects you to read the wiki, rendering it useless and promotes only spoonfeeding.

Guys help. My Fubuki turned into this.

>>15357775
>I have an actual point to ponder
I think you meant you have an actual point to MAKE rather than "ponder".

Regardless, I'd argue I made a much better point than you ever did. No one really gains anything by simply being told that they're a "newbie" and that something they did is "retarded". There's no advice there, nothing given to them to help them improve or avoid that kind of mistake in the future. The best you can say you're doing is shaming them into improving, but that's fairly pointless when it's already apparent that they regret what they've done.

Instead, I pointed out specific grammatical errors you've made, so that you can correct yourself and improve. If you can't see the difference, then I think we all know who the real retard is around here.

>>vg/144708976

I fucked up.

>>15357812
>muh elite

I might as well read a wiki with over a thousand pages front to back before I play the game shouldn't I?

Stop sperging out because someone made a mistake.

>>15357837
Shibafu's art is comfy.

>>15357731
>boat

>>15357842
Not him but I did that because I didn't have much to do while waiting for the lottery.

There's a lot less incentive to do that now that there's no more lottery.

>>15357862
>both not even kai'd
Madman.

>>15357862
get this yuri off my board

>>15357820
I have no reason to correct and improve myself when I clearly have gained a vast amount of experience and time into game, and when I saw someone that he committed that kind of mistake, I just had to ridicule him because it's my nature to stomp a peasant than helped him out.

>>15357842
Elitism has been part of /jp/ and will always be. Fuck off and back to wikia or whatever that fits your rank.

>>15357862
But why are they not even kai?

>>15357862
>>15357901

Wait, is this pairing a thing? Why?

>>15357901
Too preserve their purity

>>15357876
You should have a reason to correct and improve your English, because it's absolutely atrocious and a pain in the ass to parse.

If you truly want to cultivate /jp/'s elitism culture, then spend some time improving your English so you at least sound less like a retard. I think the substance of what you're saying will always give you away as an idiot, but at least you'll sound less like one if you spend some time learning the language.

>>15357912
But none of the kanmusu are pure to begin with.

>>15357910
Something about Kiso's captain misidentifying Maruyu and questioning whether it was really a submarine.

>>15357910
It's pretty gay but mostly cute. There is something special about a masculine girl caring for a frail shrimp.

Why is this allowed?

>only the 7th of the month
>top 500 is over 800 points

Every time I rank I swear to god

>>15358037
Whoops, ranking just updated.

>>15358037
I don't see why not.

>>15358074
Assuming +50/day, you are looking at 2k points minimum.

I guess it was worth it.

>>15358116
Good, I hope your live blogging is done for good this time.

>>15358116
>implying they won't choke

>>15358112

I was going to go for top 100 but it'll probably be over 3k and I just can't be arsed.

Fuck Saiki.

>>15358116
Congrats faggot.

>tfw did it with 6SS and it was so easy I barely even remmeber it

>>15358120
since you enjoyed it so much I'll be back later when I try the 3-5 and 5-1 quests I've been sitting on.

>>15358126

>>15354795
This is a cute pic anon.

3FBB 3CV or 2FBB 4CV for 5-5?

>>15358234
The latter.

I know you just want to fuck Junyou right in the pussy, I can see through your lies.

>do PvP
>forget to activate the quest
I can imagine Ooyodo laughing internally while she says nothing. She can't even let it slide for one day.

>>15358330
I am Ooyodo and I confirm that's true.

>>15358300

>almost 900 ammo per sortie

okay

akashi failed to upgrade my 12.7 twice in a row now. 4 screws wasted on an upgrade that was a waste to begin with. I'm too stubborn to use the slider so I'll probably just keep failing until I'm out of screws.

>>15358473
Yuudachi's gun? I've been thinking about upgrading it since I don't really feel like farming Akizuki during events and have enough to get 2 to max. I just wish the 120mm was allowed to be upgraded already.

>>15358471
It's over 1000 if you yasen at the boss.

>>15358506
I had a standard 12.7 at +10 that I upgraded when I first got akashi and didn't know what to do with her. I thought that since I finally had a good amount of screws I could afford to use 3 to turn it into a second poi gun, but I was too stingy to use the slider. now I'm down the 6 screws already and I'm too butthurt to use the slider so it could end up costing me 12 or even more.

>>15358516
>not just farming poi guns
>wasting screws on vanilla 12.7cms
Shiggy diggy doo

2 more on the way once Harusame and Kawakaze get to level 30.

>>15358516

>a second poi gun
>second

I hate to break it to you newfriend but upgrading DD guns besides ducky guns is a complete waste of screws.

>>15358526
>wasting time farming that junk

inb4 b-but maybe in 2 years you can upgrade something with them

Wait a minute.

>>15358506
>Upgrading:
>allowed for OTO
>allowed for 90mm gun
>allowed for high-caliber pastathrowers
>not allowed for 120mm DD pastathrower
>not allowed for Iowa's dual-purpose gun
>not allowed for 16inch burgerthrower
>not allowed for medium-caliber pastathrower

What's the logic behind this again?

>>15358533
It's true. All the people forced to farm the rocket tubes and searchlights was incredibly hilarious.

>>15358538
You didn't have to farm any if you just kept the ones you get from remodelling everyone once.

>>15358537
That reminds me, why aren't 5inch guns allowed on destroyers when it was the primary armament on all of the Fletcher class and eventually every single DD in the USN?

>>15358558
Wrong mod.

>>15358558
It's a secondary armament which DDs can't equip. They can only equip primary armaments.

>>15358563
Why does it have a DP icon then? I thought secondary guns were always yellow.

>the city of hoteru

>>15358577
Go look at the 12.7cm secondary and tell me it's yellow.

how long did it take you to get the ships you wanted when you first started playing? yudachi was the first ship that dropped from 1-1 for me, but it took me until now to finally get shimakaze.

>>15358579
I get mad every time I see Re's fucking face.

>>15358589

She just sent me back again by making Junyou eat a torp.

>>15358579
>>15358595
Your fault for not using 2 fast BB 4 CV.

>>15358558
The one in-game is the Iowa-class version. Wait for burger DDs.

>>15358588

>>15358588
I joined during IBS, my highest ID ship is 20531, I still don't have Musashi.

>>15358588
My Nagamon is ID 502 so pretty fast I guess

Reminder that it will happen

>>15358588
Got her within my first week of playing.

>>15358588
I still don't have Shoukaku somehow.

This shit is annoying the fuck out of me.

>>15358588

14 months to get Yuu

>>15358588

ID 6359; Shimakaze took ages to show up. I got her while passively levelling things at 4-1 of all places.

Still trying for Bismarck. My summoning tome isn't working properly.

>>15358612
Those seriously round eyes are kinda scary, it's like they stare all the way through my soul.

So what's the to-do list now that the event is over?
-Test pic related route (allegedly reachable with 2 slow BBs)
-Test 5-3 farming fleet with 3 or 4 seaplane fighters
-Clear 6-4 without using WG42

Anything else?

>>15358588
I don't remember wanting any specific ship when I started, everyone I love just grew on me while playing or dropped in an event.

>>15358705
Prepare for summer.

>>15358705
>-Test 5-3 farming fleet with 3 or 4 seaplane fighters
Why ? i dont see any good or special drop here

>>15358588
7 months in and I still don't have Yamato.
Only gonna LSC once a week now, otherwise it's too demoralizing.

>>15358705
Make your preparations for summer hell. No, it doesn't mean start stockpiling.

>>15358714
Mizuho.

>>15358705

>5-3 farming fleet

absolutely dank

>>15358705
All of those things are pointless.

>>15358721
Realy ? Glad i got her during event

>>15358705
Leveling, weeklies/monthlies, stockpiling for summer.

>>15358721
What, you didn't get her in the past 4 events?

>>15357760
I meant mostly the CL, you can choose between half of them.
Elite DDs are likeable so there's no problem.

>>15358735
Except that Kuma is one of the stronger CLs too.

Is 5-5 with 3SS 3CV shit? It seems like it would be shit and involve lots of boss node chokes.

>>15358743
It was okay back when you had no plane levels, but now the CV fleet is so much easier.

>>15358743
It was good before planes gained ranks. Now there are far better options.

>>15358743
>>15358748
Oh wait, I read that as 3SS 3BB.

That seems really retarded, both for getting to the boss and killing the boss.

>>15358758
Shiet, same. I have to agree with you.

>>15358516
Upgrading your 12.7 max to Poi gun is a huge waste of screws. Poi guns are mediocre when compared to Aki guns and you have to bring the useless shits to +9 just to make them better than your max 12.7.
Working on AAFDs would be much better investment.

>>15358764
There's no F in AA Director.

>>15358705
get zuikaku
do plane conversion quests
get bismark

>>15358758
it seemed to work for that guy in the last thread. he used both supports though.

>>15358769
Aviation Cruiser.

>>15358773
As it is now, any fleet that needs support to clear 5-5 isn't an optimal one.

>>15358538
I don't really mind.

>>15358741
Yeah, but she's cute, so it's fine.
She's too underrated, everyone focuses on Abu, Yodo and Sendais.

>>15358789
Remind me again, what do upgraded sonars do exactly?

>>15358865

Supposedly decreases the chance to be hit by torpedoes, but I definitely wouldn't count on it.

>>15358814
>Ooyodo
>not cute

As for the Sendai-class, only Jintsuu is actually good. Sendai is only good as farming fodder and Naka is just worthless.

>>15358865
Increase ASW damage, firepower. Also evasion against torps.

>>15358865
Boost evasion.

>>15358870
SAKSEN

>>15358872
>>15358870
>>15358869
How is it more useful than just having a turbine on your ship?

>>15358879
The fact that you're not wasting a slot on a turbine and have ASW.

Everyone but Kaga has a damecon in their hole punch.

She was taiha'd by the airstrike and then the torp shot her too.

>>15358879
If you don't want ASW damage to deal with the majority of enemies that can do opening torp, be my guest.

>>15358865
Special bonus for evasion vs torps. I'm pretty sure it's more significant than raw stat increase of turbine. Also more firepower, ASW and accuracy. Obviously I don't use it on subs normally.

>>15358869
It helped while farming Yuus on Hard, DDs with two guns and +1/+4 T3 evaded torps more often than usual.

>>15358870
I was only talking about Kuma's cuteness.
Sendai and Naka are also pretty good.

>>15358612
Hope you like blue Poi.

>>15358926

Samiwho is so cute I can't stand it.

>>15358869
http://ja.kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%AC%E3%83%83%E3%83%89:676

Mind the small sample size though. Not aware of any other tests

>>15358890
I'm interested. Does that work for type 3 as well?

>>15358945
It's supposed to work for all upgraded sonars. It isn't clear if there's any difference between +1 and max (hard to test this but I choose to assume it should exist) so for now it's quite safe to slap +1 on all T3/T4 you use. Getting some to higher levels is advisable for ASW alone anyway now that we have SS Hime as one of the bosses.
Based on my personal experience I prefer using sonars instead of radars as wildcard on DDs.
Just to clarify - upgrading sonars doesn't improve accuracy but they all have +1 or +2 accuracy, so it's an advantage over turbine.

I'm just about ready to begin playing. Does it matter which server I pick?

>>15359010

The only thing you should be worrying about when picking a server is knowing which one has less competition in ranked, which is an end game thing.

All of the rest are pretty much the same across all servers

So I'm ready to inject a load of luck into a ship.

Who should it be? Currently most used ships are Maya, Ryuujou, KTKM, Ooi, Subs etc.
Carriers don't really need it.
Battleships are limited by maps.
Destroyers get BTFO real easy in an opening airstrike or doing piddly damage most of the time.
Ooi and KTKM tend to get disqualified on routing.

Light cruiser choices point toward Abukuma who spends her time on expeditions. Yahagi, who does see plenty of combat or Fufu, ya scared?.

>>15359010
Last server is filled with new players but has most players overall. Other servers are full of veterans with equipment you will never have but less players so depending on server it might be easier to rank. PVP might be harder in the older servers since almost all players will be at end game

>>15359010

Either pick the newest server or one of the oldest (if you can).

Don't pick Saiki.

>>15359030
torp lesbos or whoever you like

It's more than likely the age of TCI will return in summer

>>15359030

Either ABKM or you're waifu.

>>15359030
Boosting CLT is a waste, they almost reach damage cap with DA.
Focus on DDs, CLs and CAs.
If your DDs get wrecked too often, you're doing something wrong.

>>15359030
CL. Every combined fleet needs one and unlike DDs there's none with 40-60 luck by default.

>>15359020
>>15359033
>>15359036
Then I'll just go with the newest 柱島泊地.
Thanks for the help.

>>15359052

Yes. Combined fleet maps disqualifying the CLT are the main reason I'm thinking about light cruisers. The chuuniship is there just because she's been working the expeditions so hard she's the highest level ship in my fleet at 96.

Maya's really up there too, but I'm not sure how much luck would help her.

>>15359062
You can't combine luck with AACI on Maya so think about it well.

Abukuma is objectively by far the best choice for TCI and luckmodding but well, she's Abukuma. I'm firm believer that only your favs should get Maruyu.

Rain Bono!

>>15359086
I'm amazed by high quality of this art.

>>15359086
>Give her a lot of new seasonal art.
>Still no Kai Ni.

>>15359010
Oldest server is best.

>>15359030
Abukuma.

>>15359086

soonish

>>15359084

Thanks, that makes it easier. Also no pudding available.

>>15359040
>>15359100

Does luck help expedition gains or affect the chance of the "great success"? I'm about 15 away from to the point where I can equip the Daihatsu on her.

>>15359112
No.

>>15359112
It doesn't. But her opening torp is what justifies luck modding her.

>>15359123

Ah, that's a good point. I forgot about that.

Okay, looks like ABKM is it. Hopefully they don't change her classification to CLT later on and screw up using her for that Combined Fleet CL requirement later on.

>>15359143
She would be too weak as CLT.

Why does Iowa wear the hat?

>>15359097
Dude, Kai 2 is a bit more complex. For seasonal sprites you just swap two resources. For Kai 2 you need a separate entry in the database and we all know the devs fucking suck at dealing with database. Remember when they fucked up and swapped item ID and item quantity when introducing new quests? People surely enjoyed getting a whole cart of 12cm guns.

Fuck, they fucking suck at dealing with almost anything.

>>15359097
She's loved by her artist but not by the devs. Just like many of the Shiratsuyu girls.

>>15359244
Doogies are loved both by the artist and the devs.

>>15359252
Also memers, statwhores and plebs.

>>15359252
There's no doubt that Poi and Shigure are loved by both, but Shiratsuyu, Murasame, and Harusame get lines and art regularly but there is no kai ni in sight for them.

>>15359265
You forgot the newest doggie.

>>15359265
>Shiratsuyu, Murasame, and Harusame

No, anon, please. I don't want then to turn then into yet another shitgure clone just like they did with Kawakaze

>>15359275
Harusame already looks terrible in her Kai sprite.

>>15359275
The last few new seasonal CGs for them have been fine. Murasame may gain a couple more cup sizes, but I think those three will make it through the transition just fine.

>>15359271
Was Umikaze before or after Kawakaze? I can't remember. Maybe they were the same event. Either way, Umikaze was tossed into a closet and completely forgotten.
I think there's little hope for the Samiwhos because the devs don't seem to have an answer to the missing artist issue. Atago and Takao are in the same boat.

>>15359290
Harusame's maid CG in winter was great, though.

>>15359295
>the devs don't seem to have an answer to the missing artist issue

She just hasn't been contacted by the devs since she was asked to draw Samidare's and Suzukaze's sprites.

>>15359295
Together. I mean, there are three Shiratsuyus loved by both devs and artsit, three loved by artist and three forgotten ones. It's actually very even.

>>15359295
Kawakaze had nice seasonals as well though.

>>15358537
>not allowed for 16inch burgerthrower

Because we can't have Allied equipment getting TOO powerful.

>>15358558
If I'm remembering correctly, the 5-inch DP Iowa had was only used on Gearing-class DDs. The other DDs had different guns of the same caliber.

Also, how are the 5-inch DPs compared to the 90mm?

>>15359466
Max 90mm is better AA wise.

why is this allowed

>>15359476
So 5-inch is better until the 90mm is maxed out?

>>15359478
Go look up 140 to 155.

>>15359489
>over four million

Very funny, Tanaka.

>>15359496
It's also the difficulty curve of EveryEventEver.

>>15359478
>>15359496
What's the problem though? I'm totally fine with those.

>>15359478
What am I supposed to be seeing here?

>>15359496
This chart is about what?

>>15359485
Can't you, like, just, you know, look at their, you know, stats and, like, compare them?

>>15358705

That was literally only said here by one anon.

>>15359437

Pasta and kraut guns were eventually added to the Akashi upgrade so Mk7 will probably be added too except it will use 46cm guns to upgrade

Is there any date for Asashio new remodel? Is it on this June 10?

>>15359466
It was different ways of mounting the same gun.

http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_5-38_mk12.php#Mount/Turret_Data

>>15359485
+9 is enough. MAX is just for looking pretty.

5inch has those placebo stats though if you're into that.

>>15359541
>This chart is about what?
It's about (hint 1) 10,000 dicks/day sucked by shitgure in a span of (hint 2) 155 days.

>>15359541
He's complaining about exp needed for levels.

>>15359506

>>15359485
+3 90mm is already better than the 5 inch.

>>15359550
Can you stop writing like a faggot?

>>15359550
Yuudachi pls

>>15359564
Next update after 10 june maybe 20-30 june

>>15359485
Max 90mm has better AA and ACC stats. Thats it. 5inch give you placebo evasion and armor.
Basically if you don't have a max stars 90mm, just stick with the 5incher and save your screws for other more important thing.

>>15359636
I tried to match the intellect of person I was replying to by using vocabulary I have observed being used often among his kind.

>>15359646
Poi?

>>15359625
Is it just me, or was the player base a little more amicable back then?

>>15359647
Neat, I guess I still have time to get her to 99.

>>15359773
Everyone is always amicable in the beginning, since everyone's going through the same shit and all working together, trying to figure out how all the crap works.
Then they figure it out and any new ones that decided to join later will be looked down upon and made a mockery out of.
It is not limited to KanColle, it permeates pretty much every single online game.

Wiki page for 1-6 needs to be updated . I just got redirected to K node with a 1CL 4DD fleet, I didn't even know that was possible

>>15359803
Wiki says 1 Cl 5DD for F - probably weren't expecting a quest without a full fleet

>>15359808
>probably weren't expecting a quest without a full fleet
Wiki made a blunder there. You can use your whole fleet.
>軽巡旗艦+駆逐艦4隻+自由枠1隻で1-6

>>15359808
Just add a DD then.

1CL4DDs + Any is quest requirement.
1CL5DDs is compass requirement.

You can be kinda happy since almost all SEKAI ICHIs have become irrelevant or are a joke.

>>15360252
The only irrelevant or joke German is Graf.

>>15360252
Bisko is great for night combat and probably the best one in escort fleets.

Prince is one of the best CAs, specially for new players, since she have natural high luck. Also, she's pretty tanky.

The DD boys were irrelevant since the start, so they can't become it.

>>15360218
The joke's on you because the Kriegsmarine was the least ideological branch of the Wehrmacht. Hitler himself once said he had "a conservative army, a Nazi air force, and a communist navy."
