Cute private school trio.

>>15398576
Am I the only one upset Asashio might get the same uniform as Kasumi and Ooshio?

>>15398599
Yes, fag. The uniform is great.

You won't regret marrying Kasumi.

>>15398599
You should be playing Touken Ranbu.

>>15398611
Why would I play Token Rambo?

>In order to shorten the launching process and eliminate the need for time-consuming engine warm-ups, the Seirans were to be catapulted from a cold start. This necessitated heating the engine oil for each plane to approximately 60 °C (140 °F) in a separate chamber and pumping it, as well as hot water, through the engine just prior to launch while the planes were still in the hangar. In this way, the aircraft's engine would be at or near normal operating temperature immediately upon getting airborne. The idea was borrowed from the Germans who planned on using a similar launch method for the aircraft of their unfinished carrier Graf Zeppelin.
Cute, Shioi and Graf have something in common.

>>15398591
But they aren't cute.

>>15398614
Because you are a huge faggot.

>>15398630
You're not cute.

>>15398616
Too bad Graf is shit.

>>15398630
Yes they are.

>>15398599
Yes.

>>15398616
Sounds like they are both shit.

>>15398661
Well, neither of them got the chance to ever launch a single plane into an operation, but they're very cute, which is what really matters.

>>15398630
This

Can't wait to send all three out on expeditions for the rest of their lives together.

>>15398671
Well I do admit I want to have sex with Graf. I also want to fuck Kamo.

>>15398658
Ichibaaan

>>15398661
At least Graf has a nice body and Shioi is cute, Kamo can fuck off though.

>>15398678

>>15398700
You're a shit.

>>15398708
No you.

Why do I get a D-rank when I send a sub fleet against a sub fleet? How can I fail if I successfully passed the enemy fleet without fighting them?

>>15398715
Read the wiki.

>>15398700
Don't be mean. Kamo is a perfectly cute shortstack.

>>15398700
Watch your mouth.

>>15398658
Kuma/Suzukaze/Akiducky where?

>>15398757
Forget them, we need to see more heavy cruisers. Where's the rest of the Takao sisters?

>>15398757
>Akiducky
Again?

>>15398770
I only saw the one or two short gifs but no webm or other vid

>>15398607
Can't regret doing something if I'll never do it

>>15398774
I can't find a non-cam version of her joining the fleet,so I haven't done her yet.

>Yamashiro and Tone
>Bismarck
Which one should I priorities in giving BPs to?

>>15398803
Taigei

>>15398803
The one you like the most.

>>15398803
Yamashiro > Tone > Bismarck

>>15398803
Yamashiro.

>>15398803
Flip a coin for Yamashiro and Tone.

>>15398805
Already kai2ed her

>>15398809
I like them all hence the indecisiveness.

>>15398812
>>15398813
>>15398821
Stat wise, I thought Bisko was must-have kai2 due to her effectiveness in night battles.

Well at least, according to the wikia that is.

Either way, I'll go for both Yamashiro and Tone. They're cuter than Bisko.

>>15398825
Bisko Kai 2(zwei) is shit, she's only useful at drei(Kai3) which means 2 blueprints total.

>>15398825
>Bisko
>must-have
lel

6 memedals and still no Bisko. Don't listen to wikia's shit advice.

>>15398825
You need two blueprints for Bisko to be truly better than Bongos.

>>15398825
>They're cuter than Bisko

WOT

>>15398825
Next event will probably feature more installations which ignore the torp stat, so Biscuit can wait.

>>15398837
Not if the sextuplet torp is any indication.

>>15398843
Sextorp isn't as much of a gamechanger as land bases. Besides, we haven't completely purged Hawaii of abyssal presence yet.

>>15398873
We are going to Panama though.

6-4 last dance is impossible.

>>15398890
git gud

>>15398890
Post fleet and equipment. Also post total daihatsu/tanks/WG42/seaplane fighters count. Last dance is the easiest to plan for.

>>15398881
How do you know?

>>15398903
Because I know.

>>15398901
Post your clear.

>Got my fourth Souryuu from the 2-3 boss node
Glad all this sub leveling is paying off. Dreading the thought of leveling all of them though.

>>15398915
Not bothering with 6-4 for the time being until I kai Pola for a second Ro.44.

It's the easiest to plan for because you know what to expect at the boss node (eg. 72+ fighter power needed for AS). Doesn't mean it isn't hard to clear. Well if you compare the initial fleets with the final ones, it's not that much harder than initial, for me at least, since I got 2/5 off the bar before the seaplane fighters buff and I still haven't once met a single 5 enemy boss configuration.

If you're running Kamo route either 3 seaplane fighters, or 2 seaplane fighters + 1 zuiun 12 each on CAV and BBV, will take care of your AS needs. If you're running 1 CL 3 DD fast fleet route then it's more or less the same as for chipping.

>currently around 1.1K ranking points for rank <500 for my server
Is this normal?

I saw other servers with around 200 points for rank 200ish.

Fuck me.

>>15398946
In other words you have nothing to present. Okay.

>>15398946
I got no Kamo, but 4 WG42s, and 1 +8 Type 2 Tank and No Ro. 44 (Do have pola and zara unleveled). I actually managed to bring it down to Last Dance with 1CL(Yodo 2xWG42), 3 DD, 1FBB, 1 CAV, but I'm realizing that I actually need those Ro.44 now that I really am hurting with no AS. I think i'll hold off on trying to clear before I can at least get one Ro.44, maybe 2 from upgrading Zara's plane.

>>15398960

Saiki and Hashirajima are massively inflated.

>>15398960
>around 200 points for rank 200ish
That can't be true.

>>15398960
>I saw other servers with around 200 points for rank 200ish.
Must be nice to live in your dream world.

>>15398962
Post your clearing fleet then.

\>>15398964
Why do you need seaplane fighters when you don't have Kamo? Fucking retard.

>>15398979
Pastas can also carry seaplane fighters, you know that right?

>>15398976
It doesn't matter. It's just ironic that you're giving advice when you can't even clear it.

>>15398979
CAVs can carry them too.... why you gotta be so rude though...

>>15398992
So it is better to not think about something you can't do, because you didn't/couldn't do it until now?

>>15398983
And why would you equip it to pastas? You know that configuration plus sanshiki is terrible and only one SF can't let you have AS, right?

>2 Reppuus for Reppuu (601 Air Group)
At this stage, it's not worth it? Due to proficiency right?

>>15398901
Diferent anon here. I've got 5 regular Daihatsu, 1 type 89 daihatsu, 1 tank, 3 WG42, 2 Type 2 Seaplane fighters, and 2 Ro.44. I haven't tried to clear 6-4 yet though.

>it's a Ri gives no fucks episode

I swear this happens at least once a day.

>>15398964
>no Kamo
Well then you have no choice but to stick with the fleet you're currently using.

1 CL 3 DD: Stick with whatever you're using.
Fast BB: VV-class, Ro.44 + sanshiki
CAV: zuiun M12 + sanshiki

or

Fast BB: any, AP shell + sanshiki
CAV: Ro.44 + sanshiki

>>15398992
>can't
I can. I just don't feel like doing it right now. If you have a problem with that then suck it up.

>>15398996
>....
Are you 12?

>>15399006
Even 20 Reppuus for a Reppuu 601 is worth it.

>>15399008
>2 Type 2 Seaplane fighters, and 2 Ro.44
Man you can totally farm 5-3 boss with this. Not even kidding.

>>15399015
24, you fucking retard.

>>15399023
Sorry, you don't seem to be one.

>>15399000
1 seaplane fighter on pasta + zuiun 12 on CAV allows for AS on node C for final kill. Even just swapping the zuiun 12 for the seaplane fighter gets you air parity there. Even if you're so concerned with seaplane fighter + sanshiki being a bad setup, a seaplane fighter will still make things easier.

>>15399008
Do you have Kamo?

Another day, another 6k fuel down the drain as I try crafting Nagato to no avail

Got her sister though

>>15399015
>>15399032
>>>/a/

>>15399037
>Do you have Kamo?
Yes.

>>15399014
Original anon with no kamo here, thanks for the reply. That does seem like the best I can muster out in my current given situation. Looks like I'll be able to put my Roma to use.

Is anyone else having problems going to poi statistics?

>>15399046
I recommend you to go there instead or somewhere else with that kind of childish mindset you have.

>>15398843
I don't think last month's ranking rewards are an indicator for Summer event, it's still too early. It is always the month before that hints it.

>>15399055
I'd say that Roma is the best fast BB whether you put the seaplane fighter on her or not, due to her firepower. Though since you don't have Kamo it isn't going to be much easier for you.

Alternatively, since she drops in 6-4 you can try farming for her in nodes C, H or L.

>>15399078
Your attitude and behaviour belong in /a/, not in here.

>>15399037
>a seaplane fighter will still make things easier.
Except it doesn't. Sure you can make it easier for node c, but not the boss because having air parity alone don't make any difference, and it requires a decent roll to sink her. So yes, one seaplane fighter is a bad advice and a bad set-up.

Mutsu is making me hemorrhage resources

What the fuck

>>15399098
>behaviour
You're on 4chan, retard. You're free to do whatever you say or do. Try to lurk on some forums instead so that no one can hurt your feelings.

>>15399050
Follow the reply chain from here:
http://arch.b4k.co/jp/thread/15341219/#15341994

Just saying it first, there's a suggestion to stuff 3 seaplane fighters on Kamo somewhere down the line.

>>15399107
So let me get this straight. Something that makes it easier for you to get to the boss, and also doesn't make the boss battle any easier or more difficult, is supposed to be a bad setup, according to you.

>>15399114
Says the guy whose feelings were hurt by someone who he perceived to be acting like 12 years old.
>You're free to do whatever you say or do.
applies to him too.

>>15399009
Ri is a sack of shit.

>>15399115
No, you're not getting the point here. Just because it makes easier for you to get there doesn't mean you secure your boss kill. A half-assed set-up is the same as a battle you're bound to lose.

How will kamo work in the arcade game? Will her model be carrying a giant Taitei-chan the whole time?

>>15399147
Simple, she won't be in it.

>>15399147
Sending out search planes is already a mechanic in game, I guess Taitei-chan would just be one with longer range?

5-3 makes me want to sink ships girls.

Please notify the salt collection agency of an imminent flood.

>>15399121
Why would my feelings get hurt when I see someone typing like a 12 year old? It doesn't apply to him when he can't even type his sentences properly and that makes him to stay out of this place. His comprehension also needs some work when we're talking about pastas equipping seaplane fighters, not CAVs, and I didn't even bother to point it out.

>>15399143
And you're telling me that there's an even easier equipment setup he can use that doesn't involve seaplane fighters, with the fleet he has? Face it, no matter the equipment setup it's not going to be easy for someone without Kamo.

Maybe you can bring pasta BB with seaplane fighter + sanshiki and CAV holding sanshiki + WG42, but that's all I can think of.

>>15399156
>It doesn't apply to him when he can't even type his sentences properly and that makes him to stay out of this place.
>and that makes him to stay out of this place
So it doesn't apply to you either.

>when we're talking about pastas equipping seaplane fighters, not CAVs
>>15398979 was talking about seaplane fighters in general.

>>15399162
For starters, he shouldn't be a newfag without having kamo of all ships.His problem will be solved easily.

>>15399182
I know that. But fact is he doesn't have her, so he has to plan around that. Obviously you can't use Kamo route without Kamo so he has to stick to the route he's currently using.

>>15399147
I expect her to throw Taitei-chan as pic related.

Either that or she hangs on while Taitei-chan does her sweep, calling out "KAMOOOOO" whenever she spots the enemy. This will serve a triple function as a signal to notify friendlies, audible Psy Op against enemy morale, and diversion.

>>15399266
The imagery of Taitei smacking full force into enemies with that grin on its face is kind of hilarious

Can Taigei work with seaplane fighters for airpower or are those plane slots really fake? I keep remembering as if Taigei does not launch ASW planes in battle.

how do you deal with butthurt caused by rng? I feel like I'm rapidly running out of sanity points. I've been trying to get zuikaku for the last week but she won't appear. I tried doubling my sortie rate today, but out of 20 S ranks at 5-4 I only got 9 bongos and some other junk. at this rate I'm at a resource deficit too so I can't use surplus on lsc. I'm getting very frustrated and there's not enough downtime between sorties to play a different game or anything.

>>15399341
Yes since she's dead weight, might as well put her and seaplane fighters to good use.

>>15399152
Longer range would be an understatement, Taitei's 20 range would translate into a double or triple the distance covered?

I don't know how big the recon radius of Saiun is in arcade compared to Type 0 recons.

>>15399350
wait until event time senpai.

I got 4 zuikaku dupes that I still haven't leveled.

>>15399266

>>15399356
Damn, Taigei doesn't send out gyros for ASW nor does she send out the seaplane fighters in opening phase.

I didn't get the AS/AS+ indicator while testing in pvp.

>>15399363
I'm laughing hard

>>15399364
But she does.

>>15399361
I can't just take it easy because I want to try the next event on hard and almost the entire list of stuff I came up with to prepare relies on getting her now. I'm starting to feel desperate. I have 20k bauxite right now. I don't know if I should use it all on lsc now or try to build her normally or save it to keep doing 5-4.

>>15399393
Maybe reconsider using potatoes?
Anyway, I got her once last month in 400th ranking runs.

>>15399332
don't you know how to dupe units?

>>15399266

How do I level ryuuhou? and slow cvl's in general

How do I clear 5-3 without losing my sanity?

Why is Iowa so expensive?

>>15399423

I've tried it with 6 subs and they pretty much always get taiha'd in the first three nodes.

Battleships burn a lot of fuel when they go 33 knots.

With airbases inevitably returning, I'm trying to future-proof my plane set by having more Skilled Type 21s. 3 should be fine, right?

>>15399438
Is it me or did Haruna significantly get more attention in modeling her?

>>15399400
no matter how you look at it I'm going to want iwamoto and reppu 601 in case there's double carrier princess again, and even if I don't use them for the event I want armored cranes for 4-5 and 5-5. I can't even start levelling ships because I wanted to do zuikaku at the same time.

>I got her once last month in 400th ranking runs.
so was everyone that was saying she was common rusing me with bad information?

>>15399458

Depends on whether or not average range matters for bomber damage.

>>15399417

Unfortunately I don't.

>>15399462
I got her and Shoukaku back to back when I was farming rocket tubes for the daihatsu, ended up with 5 Zuikaku in 1 day and scrapped 4 Shoukaku because Zui has a lower remodel level and only needed 5 rocket tubes.

>>15399458
Turns out you only need 3 T52 skilled if you have both Hien planes since land bombers have very good range, this is assuming range doesn't affect anything outside of being able to target nodes.

>>15399445
4 subs + 2 lv1 dd's gives you higher chance to boss node and less chance of your subs taiha

>>15399470
are you actually retarded? read the wiki

>>15399461

>>15399470

>>15399484
>Hien planes
Are you talking about the interceptors? Do you get some kind of range bonus from using them because their range stats suck.

>>15399471
how many runs did you do in one day? my fleet is sub-optimal so it's costing me 100 bauxite and 1.8 buckets per run. I'm not sure I can do more than 20 a day without having multiple fleets anyway, not to mention the sanity cost.

>>15399462
Getting 1 in 400 is common enough for me, moreover, it's still the RNG in that determines your drops.

>>15399519
at my current rate 400 runs would cost me 40k bauxite and take me at least 20 days. I wonder if I would be better off just trying to build her.

>>15399501
They get an AA bonus.

>>15399489

>Follows wiki's advice

>Gets told to read the wiki

thanks friend, sure am learning from the best here.

>>15399499

Why do you think I'm using her? If my Abukuma was remodeled already I'd be using someone else, at 70+ her evasion should be fine and I don't see how which 3-slot CL I use for ASW matters when I don't have Ooyodo.

>>15399657
Did at no moment did you think an all light fleet with searchlight on multiple yasen nodes and a sub at the boss node was a bad idea at all? And the wiki told you this? You got trolled hard.

>>15399657
nobody fucking told you to use a searchlight or under leveled ships

>>15399645
Don't use that one. Use either the 2 fast BB/2CAV/2DD comp or the 3CLT/1CAV/2DD comp.

Also, the wiki is retarded because for that comp to work best, you would want flashlight on a high level flag DD and to stick a pasta gun on the CL with a DC/sonar combo. No plane on the remaining CL, stick a sonar in case the first one doesn't kill the sub. It would still require stupidly high luck, though.

>>15399657
>If my Abukuma was remodeled already I'd be using someone else
??????

>>15399695
>>15399657
Wrong quote. Oops.

>>15399697

As in I'm still leveling her but she's not a priority at the moment, my goal at the moment is to get to 5-4 and farm shoukaku and CV/CVL levels.

the searchlight is to reduce enemy cut-ins which almost never miss anyways.

Regardless I'm just going to try 4 sparkled subs and 2 lvl1 DDs for a while.

I tried 2FBB,2CA,2DD and while they make it to the boss node 2-3 times as often, they also consume like 4-5 times as many resources.

>>15399561
Both are poisons. Just pick one.
FYI, I got 3 Zuikaku from Taihou recipe.

Will Kurogod deliver us a RJ swimsuit sprite this year?

>>15399750
I hope it's Akitsu Maru, she really needs some sun.

>>15399739
>I got 3 Zuikaku from Taihou recipe.
in how many attempts? according to kancolle-db zuikaku is 3.8% from 4000/2000/5000/5200 and 1.07% from 300/30/400/300. on the other hand it shows 1.09% from 5-4. this means if I want the highest bauxite efficiency I should do 5-4 until I run out of buckets and then do nomal construction. I don't know how long my patience will last though.

>>15399787

The best way to get cranes is from 5-4, but farming 5-4 with the intention of getting any given ship and not just getting 500 copies of everything while ranking is pretty bad.

>>15399795
5-4 is so frustrating. I don't want to bucket until orange, but then sometimes ri in the first node or wo in the second will send someone straight from yellow to red. I have 20% failure rate. the worst part is that I only have 20 minutes down time between sorties, so I can't even play another game. how do rank nerds not kill themselves?

>>15399810
>how do rank nerds not kill themselves?

Well we do other stuff while doing the sorties like watching a movie.

>>15399810
You can 5-4 while shitposting here, watching anime, masturbating, etc. Rankfags in the top 10 or so with ridiculous numbers are sharing accounts or botting.

>>15399810

I'm using 5 married ships+leveling flag and I average like 0.5 buckets/run and I regularly sortie with half of them at chuuha.

Contrary to what memers on /jp/ will tell you, levels really do matter. Also put any ships with less than 68 armor, which is what Yodo has at any position but flagship.

>>15399817

*don't put

>>15399810
>I only have 20 minutes down time between sorties

Its clearly not for you.

He's not ranking, he's just trying to get Zuikaku. Learn to read.

>>15399825

He's not ranking, he's trying to get zuikaku.

Thankfully I got lucky and picked her up during the event so I only need to get shoukaku.

Which I guess means I'll probably get like 5 zuikakus before I get my shoukaku because RNG.

>>15399832
I got Shoukaku and need to get zuikaku.

Does leveling recon seaplanes provide actual bonuses, or is it only useful for getting seaplane fighters?

>>15399817
I don't have any married ships so I'm just using what I have.

>>15399823
I do one sortie and then wait 20 minutes for morale to recover and akashi to repair 1hp before going again. it's not enough time to do anything but read through threads so I'm getting really worn out doing this 10-12 hours a day.

I somehow lost my 38cm kai that was maxed out. Holy shit, I know 35.6 proto is upgradeable now but all those fucking lost screws.

I've got 32 Zuikaku (46 Shoukaku) from 5-4 this year.

>Mutsu isn't your girlfriend

Why even live?

>>15399863
Don't use Akashi but if you can't wait for morale, make use of the fleet templates. It speeds up the number of runs you can do in a day but you spend way more resources because of the increased sorties you do.

>>15399865
>somehow
How do you "somehow" lose something important?
Use the new equipment menu to see if you don't have it on some other ship you didn't think of checking.

Because her kanji includes the radical for snail or something.

similar reason to why people call the akizuki sisters "Ducky", since the correct romanji is "akidzuki" and somehow they went from "dzuki" to "ducky".

>>15399895

>>15399902

Another way of romanizing it is Akiduki (秋月)

And this is why we hate romaji friends.

>>15399904
This, she's even half her age and has 3 friends.

Kancolle is bad even on that front because you get new girls about every six years while every other DMM game adds new characters much more frequently.

But it's not like it demands your constant attention, so you can just play it in the background.

>>15399964

Qiuyue

>>15399986
Are you genuinely sperging over the "six years" thing or are you only pretending to be retarded?

Kancolle adds new girls more or less by the event, so you get a new batch of characters every season. There are a lot of other DMM games that have constant events and add 2-4 new characters every 2 weeks. This isn't even a comparison.

>>15399995
>Are you genuinely sperging over the "six years" thing or are you only pretending to be retarded?
No, I simply asked if you were playing the game, because what you said in this regard is wrong. If you say something wrong, it is your fault.

>Kancolle adds new girls more or less by the event, so you get a new batch of characters every season. There are a lot of other DMM games that have constant events and add 2-4 new characters every 2 weeks. This isn't even a comparison.
And which games would that be? Don't tell me they are based on an already existing franchise and just bring out new versions of old characters or can just use characters which already exist.
Also, what does DMM have to do with this? DMM is only the game platform, each game still has its own developers and you should treat them as different games.

>And which games would that be? Don't tell me they are based on an already existing franchise and just bring out new versions of old characters or can just use characters which already exist.
Aigis, TABA, FKG, Kamihime Project, pretty much every card game. There are some games that are connected to existing franchises, like the Taimanin Asagi, Monster Hunter, Criminal Girls and Toushin Toshi spinoffs, but even these add new characters for the browser version.

In fact, constant events and an event every two weeks is more or less the standard for browser and phone games, because they thrive on keeping their users interested. I'm not saying Kancolle is an awful game, and >>15400023 is right about payments, but if you're just looking for cute girls to fawn over you're better off with other games.

>Also, what does DMM have to do with this? DMM is only the game platform, each game still has its own developers and you should treat them as different games.
DMM is the biggest browser game platform around, so it makes a good point of comparison.

>>15400035
If you want to fawn over cute girls without wanting to get broke, because your cute girls are shackled to a glorified slot machine, it's the perfect game though. At least here you have the chance to collect them all and get your favorite without paying hundreds or thousands bucks for a mere chance.

>>15399863
>I do one sortie and then wait 20 minutes for morale to recover and akashi to repair 1hp before going again
You're supposed to set an Akashi repair pre-set, start a 20 minute timer and switch back to that pre-set right before that 20 minutes runs out. If you're repairing ships that take 22 minutes for 2HP (Lv99 DD,CL,SSV etc) wait extra two minutes before triggering the repair so you repair 2HP instead of one.

Someone asked about torpedo warheads last thread.

Long Lance had roughly 490 kg hexanite (60% sulfur-rich TNT, 40% HND) warhead. Hexanite's explosion releases 5.86 mJ/kg with 794 l/kg of products.
Mark 15 torpedo. had 375 kg torpex warhead(42% TNT, 40% RDX, 18% Al dust) Torpex's explosion releases 7,03 mJ/kg with 612 l/kg of products.

While Mark 15 is close(2636 mJ vs Long Lance's 2871 mJ) in energy released on detonation the explosion products(expanding gases) are obviously incomparable. Hydrodynamic shock from Long Lance's explosion would rupture the hull much more severely than Mark 15's explosion due to that.

>>15399816
>Rankfags in the top 10 or so with ridiculous numbers are sharing accounts or botting.
Bitch nigga please, I made it to top6 without doing any of that.

(Then dropped to #12 because the gap with fifth place was too large even for me.)

>>15400152
>>15399816
The guy with current record of 13k+ without final form back in March did it alone. He slept 5 hours a day and showered 2 times a week. Rest was running 5-4

If there are people who share account for ranking they are not in the majority for sure.

If you're not lying that's 10 sorties every wake hour for a whole month.

I'd love to see the bill for that, to say nothing of his SAN points.

They should just stop making new K2s and just work on releasing 6-5 already.

>>15400035
>Kancolle is an awful game, and >>15400023 is right about payments, but if you're just looking for cute girls to fawn over you're better off with other games.
Kancolle's major strengths are the voice acting and incredible amount of non-game support each character gets, whether it's appearances in official work or (and this has nothing to do with Kadokawa itself) the sheer amount of fan support.

If you are fan of other girls, you will get a new sprite and usable character, and some amount of fanart, but it's much easier to park on Kancolle and bask in a steady stream of, well, stuff.

>>15400171
I vaguely remember him mentioning he earned about 28pts per hour at best (over long period of time). Running final form subs or 5CV north (with drop cut, exp cut and damecons) can get you 33+pts per hour.

I've been to top 5 before, and I can't really speak for others, but personally I would rather drop to top 20 or 100 than share an account with someone else. The game is about collecting so why would I share my collection with anyone else

You're absolutely awful at this game. Read the wiki and think hard.

>>15399657
You didn't follow wiki though you lying shit. Wikia's >advice< is bad but it's impossible for them to suggest something as atrocious as your setup.
Keep in mind, nobody tells you to follow wiki's >advice<. People tell you to READ the wiki. Read the facts (enemy comps, branching rules, ship stats, mechanics) and think on your own how to create an effective fleet.
You're just an entitled moron who blames others for his own mistakes.

I forgot you could do that.

But wouldn't he miss on 5-5 then?

>>15400244
Clearing 5-5 takes time and resources. Especially in the past when it was cheaper to get 200 points on 5-4 than to clear 5-5. You could be using them for 5-4, not to mention ranking in general is much much easier thanks to final form.

>>15400244
200pts is a drop in the bucket when you're gaining 5000pts a month just from 5-4. Majority of rankfags have cleared 5-4 though because having the option to only run subs is mind-numbingly boring

Depends on what kind of reaction you want from the shipgirl being harrased.

>>15400748

There are already a fuckton of ships who reach nightime cap with torpedo cutin already without having to invest so much screws on quints. Don't you have anything better to invest those screws on an attack that last event was made completely useless and will probably be made more restricted in thhe future just like CLTs have been banned from most end event maps?

>>15400748
No. I have enough screws and I'm not risking Akashi throwing equipment away for nothing.
