I have a question for people that have been playing for a few years now: how the fuck do you do it? I started September last year and I'm already sick and tired of this game. Nothing is fun anymore and everything feels like a chore, I don't even want to send expeditions most of the time. I don't sortie at all either, if there's anything I actually want to level I just slowly do it in PVP because actually running maps to grind is so mind-numbingly boring now. Events are a breath of fresh air until I remember it's just the same old RNG bullshit with whatever extra layer of bullshit the devs come up with.

>>15501325
You literally just get good at the game and it becomes a thing that comes easily. Expeditions and such become second nature and events become challenging and satisfying distractions.

>>15501325
I have nothing better to do and I like seeing numbers go up.

>>15501325
If you forgot the reason why did you start playing in the first place, then it's time for you to quit.

>>15501325
Number crunching is one of the few things I'm good at, and the main reason why I came here in the first place, as well as why I stayed here.

>>15501325
when you realize you are not playing a >game, everything comes down, i only lasted 2+years, i came back here as a lurker for those delicious kca webms

>>15501325
Eventually something inside you breaks and you start to enjoy it.
I quit after every event for awhile but I've been playing steadily since last summer.

If you're burned out, just only play when an event is on.

>>15501325
That's exactly it. You only come back for events.
During off season you only need to login few mins a day for PVP and then send out expeditions once in a while. With Android, you can just do that while waiting for bus or train.

>>15501325
I'm still having fun

>>15501325
Started since Summer event of 2015, been loving it ever since. The high flux of doujins and fanworks make it even better, such as Yua, Kouji, and Shino's works.
Honestly I don't know what it is that makes me so attached to this game. I abhor and love the RNG, giving me an incredible feeling of satisfaction overcoming the odds set against me. The fleet composition and equipment setup adds small value of strategy which actually makes a signficant difference and it makes me keep coming back for more.

>>15501325
Call me a casual but I'm taking my time slowly leveling and clearing
I'm not going to have memedals anytime soon, but I'm also not going to burn myself out in a year or two like I have with other games

>>15501325
I like collecting boat girls, and I like reading these threads on /jp/. I also like the art this game influences people to make.
But most of all, I just really like the character designs in this game. So far no other game with a similar theme of collecting personified objects has gotten my attention.

Who should I level next for the event?

>>15501549
Zara for the seaplane fighter
Libeccio for the high ASW

>>15501549
Graf for her planes and Zara for her seaplane without having to craft for it.

Or whichever you like the most.

That ducky is a spy!

Goddamn why did I get rid of Libe

>>15501302
I've always wanted /int/ to write what Iowa and Kongou say to each other.

how many weeks until the next event? I was hoping I could at least get akitsumaru out of lsc, but I've been using all my resources on grinding so I haven't had a chance to try.

>>15501601
Months away.

>>15501601
August.

>>15501287

>>15501325
Sunk cost (time) fallacy, mostly.

>>15501596
That's /sp/.

>>15501325
I log in once every few days to do PVP and set my expeditions. If I'm feeling really inspired I'll line up a grinding fleet and throw it through 4-2 or 5-2 a few times, until everybody has to go to the hospital.

I started playing in 2013, hit T-level level 99 in around nine months, and right now I'm T-level 101. I haven't actually completed an event since Arpeggio, but I have only skipped out on one event entirely so far, and usually end up trying to rush down most of them on the last day.

The only thing that's really keeping me in the game is the promise of new lines and my autistic desire to get a few more Mutsukis up to Lvl99.

>>15501325
I have nothing better to do in life. I started in Iron Bottom Sound and just tap away the expeditions at work waiting to be fired. It's not happening, so I just tap away.

>>15501608
so less than a month from now? or still 4 or 5 weeks?

>>15502036
>I don't know how a modern day calendar works

>>15501325

It's just compulsive perfectionism to defeat the compass and the maps. Nothing more than and idiotic and autistic obsession covered with a cute girls coating.

Some people enjoy that.

>>15501325
Honestly, I think you just have to really like the game. I'm not sure why I even like it. Would I miss it if it was suddenly shutting down permanently?

>>15502036
>>15502039

Devs have only mentioned August but not the day.

I haven't had Internet at home for the past week and the only thing I've thought about is how badly I miss playing and I started at the exact same time as you. I guess everything gets old after a while, but I feel like you just never enjoyed the game if you're bored that early. I love this game and I love my girls.

>>15501325
See >>15501361
Upgrading your equipment is and training your favorite girls is great. This way I'm motivated to do weeklies which take a lot of time.
Other reason is that KanColle's gameplay is perfectly suited to my situation but I don't want to mention that due to >blogging.

I've been playing for almost two years and started noticing signs of burnout recently (Fall 2015 wasn't a good event and farming E5 left bad after taste due to terrible luck), especially after Spring 2016 which simply sucked but the updates are very rich this year and they're enough to keep me interested. Summer is also coming which should keep me hyped for some time and I guess it will just work like that.

>Doing 3-5 1CL5DD

Why do the other girls bully her for saving me buckets? Do they really crave being sortied that badly?

The sub is just fo tanking enemy attacks. If you''ve got fully modernized girls the enemies in that node will simply scratch your girls.

>>15502328
It took me forever to get a sub when I started, too.
Just do the rare destroyer recipe for your daily build quests and you'll get one eventually.

Fighter/Bomber upgrade gives no fighter power

>>15502582

That's very sad. Any news on someone doing an accuracy test on the new upgraded planes?

>>15502582
Then what does it give?

>>15502668
I wouldn't be surprised if it gave nothing. But if dive bomber upgrade effects have already been implemented for some weird reason I'd guess dive bomber stat or critical buff

>>15502668
Damage

>>15502668
Probably nothing?

It's a bug in first place.

>>15502668
Disappointment

How is the PvP-"retry" supposed to work? I've tried F5'ing during the loading screen when going into yasen, but that doesn't work for me.

Also, is there a cheap way to fight against ranking fleets apart from subs?

J node.

>>15502746
Git gud

>>15502745
3-5DD, 0-2 aux, 1 BB, easy day S rank.

>>15502746
Just refresh on J node.
I've been doing it for a long time and have never got slapped for it.

>>15502748
But the intention of the post was trying to praise Asashio!

>>15502752
I prefer saving my refreshes for D -> E/G, I don't mind spending some buckets on J node. OK, who am I kidding, I just don't do 4-3 at all and wanted to finally see how it is.

>>15502749
Unless you get extremely lucky, I don't think that works consistently.

>>15502752
The extra EXP from that node doesn't hurt, assuming no one gets taiha'd.

>>15502765
>I prefer saving my refreshes for D -> E/G
Retard

>>15502772
Avoiding opening torps is very common, not "extremely lucky".

>>15502775
?

>>15502779
You are a retard.

>>15502800
No, I'm not. Explain why you think so though, otherwise your posts are useless.

>>15502803
>I prefer saving my refreshes for D -> E/G
This is why I think you are a retard, thought my first post made it clear.

>>15502803

These asshole, in case you hadn't noticed, spins the wheel in D to see where he's sent to. If he goes E he gets up to 140 bauxite; if he goes G he just simply refreshes.

So that's the gist of it. He's an asshole allright but you should have taken a look at the map again in case you hadn't nooticed there is a bauxite node there.

>>15502809
You didn't provide any reasoning, only quoted a part of my post, nothing is clear.

>>15502227
Really? It seems the H-fanart is coming much slower than it did for Kasumi.

>>15502832

Kasumi was already lolicon bait and rapebait to begin with. Asashio was like that too but it had a faithful following of TTK who saw her as a daughteru but those are starting to shift too. Soon, it will be all degenerates.

Can we get SEA out of here please?
Usually you can at least understand them, but today they can hardly form a sentence.

There is nothing wrong with resetting if you get sent to G.
I will say that you could reset both for J and G, but as >>15502772 said if things work out at J, it's a bit of extra EXP.

>>15502839
But Kasumi had very little Rule 34 before her Kai Ni.

>>15502839
Kasumi had next to no porn before Kai Ni, unlike Asashio who didn't really change at all.

>>15502848
SEA is very strong in that anon but at least he understands what's going on. The other one on the other hand makes me sad. I just wanted to talk a bit but he refuses to cooperate.

How many upgrades plane do we practically need?
I personally think the baseline is 9 for landbase and aerial support.

>>15502896
0

>>15502896
48

>>15502848
>>15502852
>SEA
No m8s, we're not all like that.

>>15502896
>upgrades
>helping for aerial support
Doubtful.

>>15502901
Oh right, I forgot that support doesn't use upgrade in calculation.

Why does Kinugasa get a kai ni and not Aoba?

>>15502990
The world is unfair.

>>15502990
Only shitty girls are allowed to get a Kai Ni.

Android will resume before the event right?

>>15502909
Anyway, to answer your question.

We're going to have to prepare for a minimum of 3 land bases, though something tells me that it could go up to 4 (but that could just be me being paranoid). For the number of skilled 21s you need, assuming they keep spring 2016's range mechanics (best case scenario), take the number of land-based bombers you have, divide by 4, round up, then subtract the result from the number of land bases you're preparing for. But since we know that T1 Land Attacker Model 22A is a summer plane which is highly likely to be accessible to everyone considering how it was given out as an apology gift, that means that you can add 1 to the total number of land-based bombers you have.

Then for the number of fighters to prepare for the land base (including interceptors), you want maybe 2 for each land base you're preparing for. You'll also need maybe 7-8 fighters for your main fleet. This gives a total of 13-16 fighters/interceptors to prepare for. So subtract the number of skilled 21s you're going for (and Hien 244, if you have it) from the total number of fighters you want to prepare for. You'll get the number of 11+ AA fighters you'll need to prepare in total for the land base and your main fleet (keep in mind that fighters can go into land base slots but interceptors cannot go into carrier slots). That's the number of skilled 52s you'll want to upgrade. That is, if they don't add Reppuu into the upgrading pool. So after upgrading the skilled 21s, I'd advise you to hold your screws first, at least until the event starts.

Of course, the total number of fighters/interceptors to prepare for may vary from player to player. Plenty of players would be willing to settle for 10+ AA planes for the land bases, for example. So if you're one of them and if you have Hien (which gives 10.5 effective AA), that's one less. But no matter what, don't forget the number of skilled 21s you need to prepare for.

Note that if they do change the range mechanics, then obviously you'll need more skilled 21s and such, but there's no such guarantee. On the other hand, I highly doubt they'll buff those particular mechanics in the player's favour, so you'll most likely need at least the number of skilled 21s as calculated above. In other words, you can say that having the range mechanics being left unchanged is the best case scenario you can hope for.

>>15503003
Yeah, because if it was fair, Kinugasa would get far more attention.

>>15503077
How do landbases work again? Didn't we have some argument about average range vs individual range vs just one plane range? Had anyone figured it out yet?

>>15503131
People who didn't care about average said that it was probably fine to bring just one plane with enough range. Many went for average. Whole thing was too much of a trainwreck to gather reliable data.
I'd say one plane with enough range should be fine but we don't have solid proof. Hien x2 became meta in last week of the event despite its short range.

>>15503148
No. We know for a fact that range didn't matter shit. Hoppo Alpha had land based planes air phase data and we know that fighter AS value did not drop

>>15503131
IIRC by the time spring event ended consensus was that it just took the longest ranged plane. If they don't change the range mechanics you can consider it the best case scenario.

>>15503148
>tfw found a way to make 1/1/1 viable

>Comptiq didn't have anything about the event or ships
We're gonna go in blind again.

>>15503153
Yeah but did you/that guy fulfill average requirement?
Later on theories were:
1) One plane with enough range is all you need for full power
2) Range of individual plane doesn't matter but you need average, otherwise planes reach the boss with lowered effectiveness
I might have missed something but I didn't see decisive data despite following threads quite closely except for last one.
Personally I think 1) is more likely.

>>15503152
>>15503153
>>15503170
By assuming it will be the same, if you have enough reppuu/MAX T52 varients, you will be fine with landbase, right?

>>15503067
But that is a shitty girl.

>>15503176
You don't have to upgrade anything, seriously.
We don't even have formula for how much land base lowers AS requirement.

>>15503177
Does this mean we will see TanYang soon?

>>15502264
The yuugumo looks better than the rest.

>>15503177
You need to reevaluate that opinion, anon. Even Haruna tries to emulate her.

>>15503194
Nonco's Haruna is seriously cracked in the head.

>>15502206
>>15502224
I came into the right thread a bit late it seems.

>>15503203
Why is she so careless with that lotion?

>>15503236
That's condensed milk and she shouldn't worry about it going to waste.

>>15503170
I tried average requirement but later it seemed like one plane getting the required range was enough.

>>15503176
Pretty much.

>>15503245
That's even sillier, why the hell is she squirting condensed milk all over her tummy? How do you expect me to defeat the abyssals if my destroyer is hiding in my bedroom basically naked and basting herself in condensed milk? This is an outrage!

>>15503279
She expects you to train her thoroughly and give her the D.

>>15503281
She's already at K2D, and that doesn't even explain the got-damn condensed milk all over her!

>>15503283
She's reflecting on her actions and wants you to discipline her, that's why she's in your room too.

So who plans to go to the Irako Sake Store in Yokusuka on the 28th?

>>15503289
I'll court-martial her and have her scuttled for her indecency.

>>15503290
I always thought Irako had small breasts or was flat but she looks rather stacked there.

>>15503170
>>15503260
Also for the record, here's the setup I used for E7 last dance.
http://arch.b4k.co/jp/thread/15308019/#15310846

Even considering the possibility that it could have been average range, I concluded that the max range was the average range rounded up, at least if the average was something like 5.5. Wasn't sure for the case of 5.25, but in the end I decided that only one of the planes needed to reach the required range, and so swapped the T96 around with one of the Muratas.

>>15502264
Just fuck my gumos up

>>15503304
Oh fuck, I didn't swap the T96 with one of the Muratas. The first base still needed a plane with 6+ range. The first 2 bases both had a total of 22, giving an average of 5.5, which would have been rounded to 6.

It was while chipping that I realised that the requirement was just that one of the planes needed to reach max range, when I realised that the setup was even more effective when I swapped out my skilled 21s for skilled 52s.

>>15503302
>>15503469
In comparison her Christmas sprite looks closer to those new proportions, although that could also be explained by the thicker material of the outfit.

I should say, I never really thought she was flat-chested, just average. Certainly not gazonga-sized like >>15503290
No complaints though.

I really like to check the daily boss quest and weekly transport quest at the same time. Literally a FREE ticket to Torchville!

>>15503787
Why would you do it at 2-2?

>>15503799
70% of reaching boss, else high change of getting transports (as consolation).

Usually I clear the transport quest in 4-2 tho.

>>15502565
Did you go all the way? I was thinking of doing the world 3 weekly at 3-4 this time while also fishing for Hiryuu.

Yes, I know, they have to have a headpiece that fits their head. But the faces are fucked.

>>15504298
Swimsuit Kiyo could be something amazing considering Fujikawa knows what girls wear. However I seriously doubt any of the gumos will get a new art this time.

>>15504345

Considering how shit Hayashimo and Kiyoshimo's rainy sprites are I don't want Fujikawa doing any more seasonals.

Hayashimo isn't that bad even if face would appreciate more detail. Smile makes up a lot.

>>15504393
Senkan looks like shit, her face is awful and that tongue is stupid. Damaged art is better but I don't let my DDs suffer.

>>15504392
>Docks won't fit a small destroyer
Time to have some builders court marshalled.

>>15503029
>only 小破
Fuck it.

I honestly belive some Re and Re Elite for players on hard mode wouldn't be that devastating now taking into account that the power creep have made her a lot weaker now.

>>15504510
What power creep prevents opening torpedoes?

>>15504510
I will take one Canal hime and 5 Re. please.

>>15504467
I get that Hotels needed to have such a wide beam for added stability, but why are their decks so empty? Any other ship would've used that space to add at least a couple extra AA guns there

>>15504518
pre-emp ASW.

>>15504523
They did, later on.

>>15504525
Re is not a sub.

>>15504536
>What power creep prevents opening torpedoes?
Where do you see Re in the question?

Don't mind me, I'm a bit bored and tired.

>>15504467
Feels bad to know I'll never get to walk on the deck of the mightiest battleships that once sailed the seas.

>>15504518

back in the days of not chevron and not AP shell buff she was dangerous on evey phase.

Now with so many new Kai Ni and mechanics she's only really dangerous when she launches the torp.

>>15504523
The extra weight there affected their agility too hard, I imagine.
I can't imagine them thinking the main turrets with Type 3 shells could take on the job of the AA guns.

>>15504554
The Inn deserved it.

>>15504554
You can visit Iowa right now.

>>15504564
...The extra weight of a few 25mm mounts on a 70,000 tons battleship?

>>15504565
Meanie.

>>15504554
>>15504571
Wisconsin was totally rad to visit.

>>15504523
>>15504564
>>15504576
Don't forget that the main guns would be firing right over the bow. They have to leave plenty of empty deck around them because anyone there would be pulverized.

>>15504571
I suppose she is now, with the 1980 missile refit and stuff.
Speaking of which, did anyone take a certain candidate seriously when he said he wanted to reactivate the Iowa-class battleships?

>>15504592
It actually would contribute quite positively to Making America Great Again from a psychological perspective, but would be ruinously costly and highly doubtful to get through Congress.

>>15504580
What can I say, I just love teasing the BBs.

>>15504592
Nobody did, and it would be a retarded idea anyway.

>>15504587
That doesn't keep ships like pic related to have their AA armament spread all over the deck, including the bow. Something the hotels never did for some reason.

>>15504592
I think that was his way of saying, "I will make sure the military budget will remain high." Because no one, probably not even him, believes we need BBs activated.

Just let Iowa-chan and her sisters sleep.

>>15504554
I've been to the USS Alabama. It was pretty cool. The main guns are huge in a way you can't really take in until you see them in person.

>>15504601
Iowa-class never had them there either.

>>15504587
Is this how they decide breast size? The displacement of the water from firing the guns?

>>15504614
>>15504601
Might just have been asthetics

flush decks on BB are pretty nice desu

>>15504624
What about titty DDs then?

>>15504592
I wouldn't take that seriously, but Iowa-class would make more sense for fighting ISIS than nukey carriers or submarines.

>>15504624
No.

>>15504643
In the middle of the desert?

>>15504643
Nothing an Iowa-class would provide would make sense vs a CG or DDG for the purposes of fighting terrorists.

>>15504643
Why? Carrier-based planes can strike much further inland, and it's not like Daesh has a navy of its own.

>>15504636
I really like the ultra long bow on the hotels, but whenever I see pics from above, it seems a much more shortened distance.
Don't know what to think.

>>15504659
Just put wheels on it

>>15504708
Hotels weren't that long, but their superstructure is located more aft than their contemporaries which gives that impression

>>15504624
>>15504639
>>15504645
The displacement rule is probably meant to affect the girls' apparent age, which in turn loosely coincides with boob size.

>>15504670
You don't need to bring goddamn carriers to the Med, there's plenty of land bases for them in the area.

Just park a Iowa-class off the coast of, say, Libya and enjoy support shelling from a ship that's actually made to take some hits.

Nothing of this is to say you should actually bring the Iowas back for that, of course, but hey.

so if the next event is going to be panama and iowa was built to fit through the canal, does that mean she'll get special routing?

>>15504738
This is only true to very few artists and even they are inconsistent. The only thing separating age is class.

>>15504751
No. But Shioi might.

>>15504751
They wont actually go inside because the boss takes over the whole area, it's just outside. Why would they even go inside?

>>15504738
There is no rule. Zuihou looks younger than some of the DDs and many sister ships look very different in age.

>>15504738
there is no rule, artists pulls shit out of their asses, dont think too hard about it

>>15504237
If you ask them in private, you wouldn't have any problems.

>>15504772
I want to go inside Iowa.

Who else is having a comfy time grinding levels?

>>15504918
Its torture, senpai. I finished Souryuu yesterday and now moved on to Hiryuu and got her to level 50. I wished their levels were at 70 or so and not some odd numbers like 77/78.

>>15504918

Not me, I'm burnt out after ranking last month.

>>15504918
I've had an easy time doing all the Mutsuki K2s. Dreading giving Asashio the D, since I'll have to live in 4-3 for a week.

>>15504918
The time is over to grind levels, event is a month away

>>15504918
It's going surprisingly nice, already did more than half of the job until D.

>>15504918
Unlimited 3-2A Works here, because I'm being a massive jew with buckets right now to prepare for summer event. Within the past week I've Kai Ni'd my Fusou, Myoukou, and Haguro. Next up is Tone and Chikuma.

>>15504918
Only doing PvP is pretty comfy, yes.

>>15504918

>>15504979
Next you'll say we shouldn't do our EOs

>>15504979
There's only one Summer bigger than 6 maps so no. It's gonna be five maps. 50k will truly be enough to clear it in a weekend.

>>15504935

>>15505225
That's really doable lad, stack ASW pre-strikes on like 3 DDs, wait for Yasen if you even need it.

Is Kasumi Kai Ni B worth keeping?

>>15505255
Yes.

How do you guys prioritize your equipment upgrades?

I thought that anti-installation equipment was going to play a bigger role in Spring, so I blew a lot of screws on that. They certainly helped, but I feel like my screws would have been better spent on just main guns desu.

Instead of trying to predict the gimmick the devs decide to use in the next event (I'm guessing ASW), I think I'm just going to try and spread my screw use so that I improve everything at least by a bit. My ASW equipment is weak anyways, so I might prioritize it anyways just to get it up to snuff with everything else I have.

>>15505277
imho upgrades don't make that big of a significant difference. The difference between a TTK who has akashi and who doesn't would probably be a difference of 5FP and 2-4 ACC. The biggest difference are unobtainable upgraded items like the 16in+GFCS

>>15505225
>double line formation

>>15505277

Upgrade everything equally except radar which can be ignored and maybe DD guns.

BB guns are important for general killing, but CA guns are important for installations and torps are important for non-installations. ASW is important too, and while the meme status of tanks is up for debate they're still going to be important.

>>15505225
That's easy, Ru Kai 2 most will take out 2 ships, so even if you go line abreast you can take her out at night.

>>15505263
Why?

>>15505182
The pressure of being a top idol finally got to her.

>>15505277
I did CA guns first. 20.3 cm no.2 and no.3 to at least +6
Then I did BB guns. Base 35.6cms and 41cms, 35.6 because proto upgrades weren't upgradeable yet.
Then I did Quints. All to +6
Then I got really autistic and maxed 6 OTOs and 5 triple oxy torps.
Then I did duckyguns, which I'm still in the process of.

On Akashi's off days I did random stuff like maxing a small searchlight, putting +1 on my top foreign BB guns, on my strongest radars and on my top ASW gear. I also got an extra seaplane fighter.

Ive been doing daily upgrades for months and doing the vast majority of my screw quests. It's a lot of shit to deal with and the pool just keeps getting bigger and more expensive, but patience is the key here.

>>15505213
Yes. Heck the first summer was four I think.

>>15504918

I've just been passive leveling shit while grinding dupe dragons, currently at 4 Egusa and 3 Tomonaga / 7 M21 Skilled.

After finishing my fourth Hiryuu I'll finish getting Maya and Myoukou class to Kai Ni, After which I'm going StockColle super hard while spamming orel until the event.

>>15505360
More like Who ga.

>>15504918
I'm almost done, otherwise I would probably have to commit sudoku. In the last month I grinded 4 bob cruisers for no2s, both dragons for planes, and now I'm working on mutsu and gumos for 41cms and type 3 sonars.

>>15505277
If you have any married DD, Asashio kai 2D and ships with 80+ ASW, you don't need to invest in ASW equipment as much, especially with 4 slot CLs. The ASW cap is hilariously easy to hit and only SS Hime puts up a fight.

>>15505420
What happens if we get sub kais or a new sub water demon?

>>15505277
all on burger guns

>>15505416

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just spam equipment construction than farming 41cms off of Mutsu?

>>15505427
I don't know, maybe. I've been using all my development resources trying to make type 32s. It worked out that I could make a 3-2 setup that would give me something from every ship. Mutsu has 41cms, Shokaku has rocket launchers, 3bear has no3, gumos have sonar, and Rochang has her torpedo.

>>15505427
Yes, absolutely. Faster too.

>>15505360
Moving in that pagoda chestplate must no be an easy task even for a battleship.

>>15505427
Why not both? With Burgerguns eating 3 of them per upgrade level you're going to need all the help you can get

>>15505522
Ranking gives you at least 25-30 a month.

>>15505406
Dare ga?

>>15505277
Tank and sonars give the biggest boost per star.
Tank give you additional x0.8 at max stars and sonar give you FP, ASW and evasion.

>>15505427
Mutsu drops fairly often at 5-1/5-2 and 5-4.

>>15505624
How big is the resulting damage in actual practice with the tank upgrades?

I'm in charge today.

>>15505360
Wonder how much does she changes post-kai

>>15505649
According to a nip sauce, the difference between a normal tank and max upgraded tank is x2.4 vs x3.2.

>>15506024
Literally a guy with breasts.

What map would you be powerleveling on with a comp like this.

>>15506083
5-4

>>15506083
Looks like 5-4

Did KCV stop working for anyone else?

>>15506107
>>15506087
alright thanks

>>15506122
I updated to 4.2.7 (yuubari) and it's working for me. The only problem is that if you hover over equips in the fleet tab it doesn't tell you the names.

>>15506122
No

>>15506128
That's what I mean by "not work", of course the game works fine, but names of equpment are not displaying and quests wont display either. Just grey blobs in place of quests.

>>15504523
Very late to the conversation here, but the decks are empty because the blast waves from firing the main guns would shatter anything on them
They did eventually fill Yamato out with AA once it was apparent she was going to be fighting planes and not ships for the rest of the war

Between weeklies and leveling all my ships I have no idea how I'm going to stockpile for the event.

>>15506128

Wait, what?

>>15506407
I'll be done levelling by tomorrow, but I still wanted to try lsc a few more times. I almost got fucked by not having enough resources to farm last time though, so I may just have to go without akitsumaru again.

>>15506410
Summer2014 6maps
Summer2015 7maps

Devs tweet: smaller than recent summer maps.
It is pretty much confirmed that we will be getting <= 5maps for Summer 2016.
50k would be more than enough to clear all maps.

>>15506454
but I need enough to get prinz and zepp this time

>>15505277
Spread stuff out. Four guns at +1 give +1 fp and +1acc each.
One gun at +4 gives +2fp and +2acc, half of that.

Of course, don't go crazy and upgrade 20 DD guns, you will never use this many. At one point it becomes better to focus on individual eq, you should feel when it comes based on your fleet and other eq.

>>15506075
That's like DA vs TCI. Extremely big difference.

>>15505427
>>15505449
Wrong. Farming Mutsu is MUCH cheaper.
It takes less than 2k ammo (<1k fuel and steel) to get two pieces of 41cm from remodeling Mutsu. Meanwhile 41cm has 8% from 10/251/250/10 which means ~6k ammo and steel per two guns on top of costing devmats which aren't so safe with recent upgrades.

One of my older posts:
Farming Mutsu is actually super cost efficient if you only do 5-4-A with her as flagship.
She needs ~30 battles to reach lv30 and only eats 20 fuel and 23 ammo per battle. Then you pay 900/800 for remodel and get two 41cm guns.
Cost of other ships is not counted because they gain levels.

>>15506471
Kasumi with mustache is cute.

>>15506510
To add - with proper setup she should reach lv30 before getting chuuha'd unless Ri gets lucky. Doing some PvP on early levels helps.

>>15506510
The most important resource for KanColle is time though. Just farm 5-4 with normal fleet for Mutsus and do some 46cm recipe. You'll be wanting those 46cms anyway

>>15506471
Last two events have the best banners. Awoo!

>>15506524
Mutsu is cute so you won't even notice the time flying by!
46cm, eh. They are useful for 51cm and 16inch but their cost gets really high only later on and those guns require ridiculous amount of screws. You have a good point here but I'm not a fan of eq sitting there just to be maybe used in half a year when there's so much other stuff which requires upgrades immediately.

Buy screws then if that's really your only issue.

And in addition, both Mutsu and Nagato will come more than often from both sorties and LSC.

Wew lad

>>15506653
Yes. Everyone else would spend this money on something else, a/sp/ie-kun.

>>15506657
Nah, I just forgo merchandise like figurines. Once you completely cut that out you'll naturally have more than enough for the game.

>a/sp/ie-kun
Oh, you go to /rug/ too?

>>15506730
This way I can see it working, yeah. Manga volumes, anime BDs or figs seem much more worthwhile for me though. Or maybe better food.
Screws are important but you don't need everything on max to beat events so I just use the amount which is normally available, I don't even consider buying them. If i find myself lacking screws for some upgrade, so be it, I'll do something cheaper instead.

Nah, it just felt natural.

>>15506742
The only things I can see myself buying outside of DMM points are doujinshi (and maybe some official manga) and a bit more junk food but the rest just don't seem appealing to me.

Dragons are a meme outside of events. Haven't found one since two weeks ago.

>>15506831

>>15506944
Not this shit again.

So now that I can get my 3-2 grind on...when exactly do I stop? What goals should I be making for myself? This gets me levels but not better equipment, should I be running expeditions in the background that give me Devmats so I can start making shit like Radar, AP rounds, and three-star planes? Or should I be harvesting buckets?

>>15506944
What comp should I use?

>>15506949
>should I be running expeditions in the background that give me Devmats
Maybe if you like sitting at 0 resources, not being able to grind or craft.

Do your dailies and weklies.

>>15506950
The REAL MAN comp.

>>15506949
Early on you want to focus all your resources on leveling and farming drops. Once you're mostly done with that if you've been doing your dailies, weeklies and such you should be swimming in devmats.

>>15506965

>>15507106

>>15507082
K2D FP and torp is sufficent for non event maps.

Someone post the version of this where you can see through the umbrella and see her butt and panties

>>15507099
You mean a little before the Arpeggio event?

>>15506075
So it means you shouldn't half-ass tank damage by making a DA build with tank, huh? (2 reds + tank)

>>15507186
I'm not seeing your logic.

>>15507100
>Implying they're the only players on the planet who keep dupes.

>>15507195
There were a lot of Summer E-2 builds that were 2 reds + tank or 2 reds + T89

>>15507186
I guess it depends on what you're fighting. If you're doing 6-4 I suppose you'll want to stack enough anti-installation damage to take out artillery imps even when taiha

>>15507201
Yea but how is Akashi upgrade affecting viability of double attack?

>>15507159

>>15507213
>that feeling when upgrading tanks is 3-4 screws each time

On the other hand, my understanding of a MAX level + max rank Iwai F-B is that you stick it on the biggest or second biggest slot?

But damage wise, wouldn't it suck for opening airstrike and still not as good compared to Murata or Egusa?

I want to be clear on what I'm getting into before I start upgrading an M21 and convert it over and over in the quest line.

>>15507279
3-4 isn't that much.

>>15507356

>>15507356
Lv60 is merely 180k exp. Asashio K2D requires 450k.
