Is it fine to go with this to E-3 Hard?

I'm wondering if Mikuma's low level will make a difference since I'm really sick of leveling her.

Oh hey, this is prettier than usual Zuikaku

>>15702270
Sanshiki doesn't work in day battle for the main fleet.

kek

>>15702284
Since when has this been true? Are AP shells better then?

>>15702290
Since forever
Read the wiki.

Auto-scrap option when?

>sent my LBAS to the wrong node in E3
>get crit to red at the sub node
Pottery

>>15702290
Since the beginning.

>>15702297
Nowhere in the wiki does it say that, possibly because it's poorly written.

>>15702284
>>15702297
2/10 made me check.
>基本攻撃力(昼戦) = 三式弾特効倍率(2.5) × 砲台特効倍率 × [火力 + 改修強化値(砲撃) + 通常艦隊定数(+5)] + WG42特効加算(+75～+160)

Holy fuck minazuki's blue hair looked like the sunk blue text and I got really scared for a second

>>15702337
Go sleep.

Someone throw me a good comp for E3, I keep eating crits at the preboss.

I don't mind using Fubuki.

>>15702325
Wait a second, when was this a thing? I clearly remember people shitposting about using Sanshiki on the main fleet during Spring 2015 and 4-5.

>>15702361
first thing on the wiki should be tottemo OK

>>15702380
Since always. It only doesn't look like it works in day battle because of the daytime damage cap and the high armour that most installations have.

>>15702238
She even tried to get the tan right, or photoshop.

I will give a couple of points for effort.

What LBAS setups did you guys use for E-3?

I'm trying to think of how to do it without losing tons of plane proficiency from having half of them shot down.

I'm thinking 1 fleet entirely of fighters and the second fleet half fighters half bombers, but is that too little damage?

I really can't get over the fact that Mikuma looks like a fucking noodle with a face that's been lazily copy pasted on

>>15702420
yeah, the body is too long.

Behold what the Red T brought about.

>>15702435
Free boss snipe.

>>15702444
Kongou and Kitakami were taiha'd before getting a chance to attack, but Prinz did a glorious 1/6 snipe for 73 damage.

>>15702410
2/2 for last dance is good enough.

>>15702464
2/2 for both fleets or just the second fleet?

>>15702465
2 fighters for each.

Is it better to put Dive Bombers or Torpedo Bombers vs Installations?

After 3 S-ranks on my last kill run, Mikuma goes Taiha on the pre-boss node and is literally the only one who took damage.

Thanks a lot, you weird noodle

hello it's the guy who can't pass E-1 again

Do you reckon it's just my bad luck that i can get there without any damage on my ships but either miss every hit on the boss or don't even get a single hit aimed at her?

>>15702470
>should i drop bombs or torpedoes on a building?

>>15702473
Oh, I missed this story. Are you new? And I mean that in a not mean way

>>15702473
What's your gear like? got any T3 sonars?

25 S ranks and 10 retreats at E-3 easy, and neither Aquila or Nimu have shown up.

Tomorrow is another day.

>>15702477
Yeah im pretty new, already drained the boss health completely but still need to sink her to advance to E-2
>>15702479
Nope, im an idiot and wasted all my development material on ships i didn't need, can't improve gear either because no Akashi.

How's my setup for E3? I just followed the wiki.

Also how should I set LBS?

How effective are LBAS against E4 boss?
I sent 4waves there and they did absolutely nothing.

>>15702487
You don't need upgraded gear for babby mode. T3 sonars would really help though. What's your ship/equipment setup? Might be able to give you tips.

I feel like I've been tossed into the outlier group for shit RNG in E3. I'm not even making it to the asswall before getting sent back with FCF being unavailable.
>Select images with boats
Fuck off Google.

Am I supposed to be using torpedo bombers to LBA bomb the Ass wall, or are they weak to red bombers after debuff?

>>15702497
E2-D

>>15702454
>high heels
Way to ruin her.

>2 ships taiha at preboss
I'll take this as a consolation.

>>15702503
Does that do something? I missed a whole bunch of posts since I had to work today.

Okay, just finished my debuff run for E3 and no sound played. Here is what I did

>S ranked A, D, G in 3 different sorties
>Set my LBAS to intercept the air strike and my base got no damage
>No sound when returning to port

I don't get it...

>>15702496
Before anything i'd like to point out that if anything is unfit for ASW, i probably know it, i just don't have enough good ships for ASW.
I got a plane on both Isuzu and Yura, torpedo bombers on Ryuujou, and Akatsuki and Yuudachi both have sonars (although i only have Type 93 sonars) and torpedoes and 1 gun on them just for that surface fleet before the boss node.

Kinu is just there as filler desu, i don't have any other good CLs or DDs for ASW.

>>15702514
Don't you have any depth charges?
Are those all your sonar?

>>15702521
yup, i'm sure i had more sonars, but hell if i know where they went, no depth charges, i wasted my last few development materials trying to get more sonars or depth charges, but ended up getting a bunch of fighters

>>15702454
That is stylish as fuck. Would cuddle endlessly.

How do I get around the desu filter?

I swear on me mum if e4 easy farming is actually a ruse I'll order 2 large pizzas and devour them

E3 aquila farming is killing my brain

>>15702514
The only thing I can really recommend is to craft more anti sub gear, you will have a hard time killing sub hime without stacking it and you don't really need guns or torps on this map.

>>15702263
>Short-haired royalty
This should've been a thing

>>15702533
Yeah i'm attempting to get said anti sub gear, i'll definitely get rid of most guns when i do.

>>15702536
Ancient Egypt.

>>15702514
beating E1 without depth charges sounds like hell.

Watch out /jp/! Your battleship is turning into an abyssal!

>>15702541

>>15702545
It really is, considering i still haven't managed to do so.

At this point I'm seriously praying to Isoroku Yamamoto that my next round of gear development blesses me with depth charges and sonar.

>>15702551
Pray to iona

>>15702494
>How's my setup for E3?
Very good! :^)
>Also how should I set LBS?
Just follow the wiki! :^) you'll probably get a shit setup though, considering you picked suijo

>>15702550
Ancient Egyptians weren't Muslim, they worshiped the great Ra.

>>15702551
>>15702528
Did you accidentally leave sonars on some other ships?

>>15702551
Go make some charges.
Use everything you've got.

>>15702560

For some reason I was completely sure she'd drop. I felt it in my bones. Now I'm cool like the oldfags, right?

>>15702561
Nope, i remove equipment from pretty much every ship that i'm not using, i might however have scrapped a ship or used it for modernization and forgot to remove equipment before doing so when i had started playing.

>>15702565
No.

>>15702569
Use padlocks

>>15702565
Gimme some of your magic.

>>15702565
Show me ID1 ooi

Did the debuff on E3 hard and heard the quest noise. Yet even with 9 torpedo bombers I still don't hit the BB hime well. Haven't made it to the boss yet in 6 tries. If anyone is actually getting their airstrike to kill the himes I would love to know what you're using.

>>15702580
It's random, use FCF. I've not failed to s-rank the boss in 20 runs yesterday

>>15702580
>torpedo bombers

>>15702586
Sasuga Shitbuki.

>>15702530
Kisaragi is great too.

>>15702586
Oh I'm using FCF. The one time only one ship got taihad it happened to be my main fleet's flagship. I wonder if you're getting good hits consistently because its easy. I can't imagine my planes are the problem, seeing as I'm using all named planes.

>>15702594
Not repairing her since if I need an FCF retreat I'll just bucket her to restore her morale

Not her fault

>>15702602
>letting Taihou be damaged
Sasuga Shitbuki.

>>15702602
Are all your ships max level? Do you put all LBAS on the pre-boss node?

>>15702602
She was yellow, she couldn't retreat anyone.

My flagshit keeps getting taiha'd at the pre pre pre boss node! help desu~

>>15702606
Stop it. The only acceptable bully target here is ABKM

>>15702602
NO IT'S SUPPOSED TO SHITBUKI'S FAULT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>15702615
Abubear is a miracle of the universe.

>>15702608
Used to be 4x on the preboss. Now I'm doing 1x on boss and 3x on preboss. 1x has an iwamoto in first slot since it sometimes disables all attacks from the 2 structures(if AA cutin procs)

>>15702610
Yep, you're right

How do I lock land planes again before gaining the airfield?

shit i've already dropped below 100k boki

>>15702563
Any more propaganda stuff like this? I love it.

>>15702625
Filters. They'll be grayed out and you'll be able to lock them.

>le slow fleet won't bring you to B-C-G-H-J maymay
100% routing with Jun'you and army dog in E3. Only problem is that I'm not critting enough.

>>15702635
There's quite of bit when you google.

This was the perfect run.

Not a single taiha or chuha until the last node, everything but the boss wiped out during the day, and Pudding with the final blow.

Thanks, girls.

Is it better to put your hardest hitting yasen people at the top, so they attack before they're damaged, or at the bottom, so they're more likely to hit stronger targets? Is it just preference?

>fubuki routing
>unavoidable first node troll subs
>BB hime punishment room
tanakaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

>>15702642
>have to bring Akitsumaru
what a handicap

>>15702635
The Tojo caricatures are always hilarious

>>15702645
1 strong one in both top and bottom slots. A strong first strike is always good.

>>15702645
It depends. If your fleet can actually manage to take out most of the enemy's fleet, then it's better to put your heavier hitters near the bottom so they use their attacks to wipe up whatever's left.

But if the enemy's fleet usually leaves behind several ships even after yasen, then put your heavier hitters near the top and pray they target the boss.

>>15702644
This is not possible without Hayasui.

>>15702649
Those troll subs are really something else.

During my 3 debuff runs they totally missed every time.

Suddenly they taiha fubuki 3 times in a row during my real runs.

>>15702649
>he doesn't have any ships that can oasw
fuck off to the wiki newfaggot

>>15702665
>using OASW for a single node

Is ducky AACI worth bringing a level 50ish Teruzuki along for E4 normal? I'm using a level 90ish fubuki because she's my highest AA DD, but I just got sent back at the air node again and got to musing. I can't set fighters because I only have pleb low range planes and no taitei.

On the plus side, I got Amagi and Katsuragi, so that feels nice.

>>15702670
It's well worth it.

>>15702669
>choosing not to use oasw when you have the option to
>choosing to instead get trolled by the troll node and complain about it on an anonymous image board

>>15702658
That was with Hayasui. I did a final kill attempt before without her just to see how it'd go and it was the usual with everyone in red by yasen.

One more attempt with Hayasui and it was all over. Hayasui was the true MVP of this event. I'm not sure what that says about the future of events though. Guess KanColle has to give up its non-P2W status.

>>15702635
>>15702652

>>15702674
KanColle has always been P2W though cause you can buy 30 reinforcement expansions + damecons and just bruteforce your way through any event.

>>15702674
If you wanted to collect everything in KanColle you already had to buy faeries. Memedals are like furniture, you don't need them to "win".

>>15702673
Unless you have all your DD's and CL's at level 99 using a OASW DD or CL with full ASW gear will cost you either a Ducky AACI or a Ooyodo. Your second DD is forced Fubuki unless you wanna trade good opening node for bad routing.

And that's assuming you didn't use all your OASW ships for E-1 and your Abukuma for E-2.

Which girl are you the most embarrassed about liking

I'm having trouble getting 0 damage against my land-base on E3. Will getting double chevrons on some of the planes that are lacking it be enough to make the difference?
If so, how should I raise them to double chevrons efficiently?

>>15702597
>panties visible
Ruined.

>>15702698

>>15702698
Why would I be embarrassed to like any girls in this game?
I don't like Haguro.

>>15702700
Here's a picture.
Should I just go try to craft a few more reppuu?

>>15702712
Not shown in the screenshot but Ooyodo got taiha'd from the last surviving sub too.

Think I'm just gonna go to bed this isn't fun anymore.

Don't you have another interceptor? Slept through last event?

>>15702709
>>15702715
I feel your pain, I just got sent home on that node thanks to nuclear subs and fubuki working together to ruin everything.

>>15702725
I have weaker interceptors. Are they prefered over fighters?

>>15702730
4 times in a row now.

Only time I've gotten past it was when they all taiha'd my flagship so I could continue.

>>15702707
It's kind of hot.

Wo kai please have mercy.

>>15702731
Their higher intercept stat makes them more powerful than what they look, not sure how they compare to fully chevron'd fighters, though.

>>15702747
I'll try swapping them in. Thanks.

E3 might be the first time I have to drop down and do a lower difficulty on a map I intended to clear on hard. Hopefully some more information comes out in the next couple days or I just don't know how I'll make it past the double hime. Currently 1 for 12 in that department with most runs ending with like 3 taihas.

How do I get these meme strikes for E-3 preboss?

Things I've tried:
LBAS with land bombers
LBAS with torpedo bombers
Suijou with torpedo bombers
Kidou with dive bombers
Kidou with torpedo bombers

Not once have I seen the big hits.
This is really annoying, I guess I'm just going to FCF through the punishment room and use my LBAS to kill the boss.

>>15702777
Kidou with 3 CV did it for me.

>>15702780
Yeah that's what I'm doing. Did the 3 CV manage to take out the hime or did your ships just manage to dodge them most of the time?

>>15702753
Came close, but still no cigar. I think at this point I just need to get the interceptors to double chevron.

>>15702782
my interceptors had one blue bar
hitsuyou ha nai

>>15702781
>>15702780
I tried 3CV and got fucked in the ass.
I'm going back to suijou tomorrow, 3CV was not killing the BB himes before they could kill me and my ships weren't dodging for shit.

>>15702785
I'll just keep going until it works, then.
It'll slowly gain experience as I try, and will eventually work.

>>15702787
You have to get the lucky crit which oneshots at least one of the himes to be safe.

>>15702791
I am fairly convinced that those don't exist. What plane setup are you using to even get them?

SHE EXISTS

>>15702795
Just some blue planes. It's simply luck.

How the fuck does support shelling work? If its shelling why do people load their CVLs with Dive bombers? Why put all radar on DDs instead of guns? What the fuck

>>15702825
Read the wiki.

>>15702825
Please, read the wiki.

>>15702814

>>15702818
I just spent two hours and a ton of resources in the punishment room with blue planes not working.
Not saying you're wrong, just bemoaning my bad luck.
Maybe I'll try kidou again tomorrow if I feel less like jumping off a bridge.

>>15702837
Here's your (You)

>>15702825
Are you asking about why it's called shelling instead of something else? Because wikia translations. It's actually just a generic 射撃.

>>15702795
>>15702818
>>15702840
I tried throwing away the historic routing to see if putting in some better ships worked. Doing so allowed me to use 11 blue planes. Fucking eleven. After 8 runs I've yet to hit a hime for more than 150 with the opening airstrike. Eleven blue planes.

Oh boy first E3 farm run of the day

>RJ

>>15702845
Holy shit all this time I thought the DD were the "auxillary damage" rather than the throwaways, not the planes.

>>15702857
RJ is cute as heck.

>>15702857
RJ is slow. Are you "slow" too?
>420

>>15702857
I want a DD to push me down and have her way with me.

>>15702846
I managed to fit 10 dive bombers in my 3CV fleet during my kidou testing, and the results with dive bombers were even worse than they were with torpedo bombers. I'm not convinced that the debuff helps with the preboss node at all.
The only thing I haven't tried is aerial support, but I'm reluctant to do so since it will get my planes beaten up on the BRW node.

>>15702857
What is this expression trying to convey?

>>15702868
>never liked RJ
>first carrier build at arcade
>cant turn off sounds
>decide her voice lines are okay
>she builds me a ryuusei kai on my second plane craft
She's like level 7 with a Ryuusei Kai. I need to get a Reppuu for her now.

>>15702893
>never liked RJ

Shit taste, dude. Cute as heck accent and cute flat chest. Her kai ni art is great too.

AHH NO AQUILA AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>15702781
The latter, but for some reason they can never dodge in suijou like they can in kidou.

>>15702912
Her art is shit. All of it.

>>15702922
>Her art is shit.
Still not as shit as your taste.

>>15702878
Yeah I haven't tried aerial support either. I'm gonna lick my wounds for a day or two and hopefully more is learned about the debuff in that time. Because I definitely activated the debuff (got the noise and everything) and it has done nothing to the preboss.

>>15702922
Let's agree to disagree.

>>15702284
>>15702297
>>15702380
You're a dumb faggot who never read the wiki and only mindlessly parrots whatever he heard. Just because Sanshiki works in day combat doesn't mean it's always the most effective option.
You have no right to say "read the wiki".

God damn. Even on medium with debuff I can't kill this bitch.

hello where are the aquilas

>>15702949
No idea

>>15702948
Take a break and try tomorrow or later.

You have a lot of time. I'm sure it'll work out soon.

>>15702790
Got it! Feels good. I think it was more luck than any actual change, as one enemy plane was still alive, but I suffered no damage.

>>15702948
E-4? Stack LB strikes on node I, go through maelstrom, stack yasen equipment, stack torpedo CIs, make sure you achieve air supremacy (not superiority), use strongest AACI you can get and pray. If you have fastslurp and memebarrels, give her one or two of them (one should be enough for medium, I used two for hard and CA hime died like a bitch) and a damekon. Go all out.

How the fuck do people get past the sub node on E-3?

Looking at the reported fleets in the wiki spreadsheet there aren't a lot of players using OASW ships, so what exactly am I doing wrong?

>>15702988

>what exactly am I doing wrong?

You are mindlessly following what other people do. Tell me what is exactly stoping you from setiing one or 2 OASW ships?

>>15702988
Is this your first event with flag So nodes? Just hope they don't land a crit on you. There's no room for ASW.

>>15702988
You use the anti-sub formation and then cross your fingers.

>>15702990
Not having OASW ships because I used them on E-1 and E-2.

Even if I had OASW ships, Fubuki is required for routing and Hatsuducky is required for AACI to not get fucked by the boss node so there's no room for them.

Has anyone tried to see how is E3 hard first node only for fatigue leveling now that we have pre-torps ASW? On paper it sounds like a paradise.

>>15702995
>blindly listening to >>15702695

>>15702995
You can put two t4 on a level 90-something CLT, or T3+depth charge if she's higher. The yukkuri guy on niconico had two CLTs with preASW for instance.
Also fubuki isn't strictly speaking required.

>>15703009
Because you can level 12 ships at the same time like this?

>>15703008
Forget about Shitquila and go to E4
Farm E4 easy mode (4% apparently) and if you are really short on resources just cleared E4 hard. Shitquila is not worth it.

>>15702995

Usually do events on Medium so I'm not used to subs fucking me up in Echelon formation.

Usually they never hit anything or only get scratch damage.

Decided to do E-3 Hard since I managed E-1 and E-2 hard quite easily and the Ginga looks really attractive, but now I'm having second thoughts.

>>15703036
>>15703037
I think I'll move on to E4. The turret comp is 2x more likely to drop aquila than the DD comp

I've gotten way more DD comps than turret comps in my experience. I'll try E4 I guess

Is there any point in farming for more than one I-26?

Does I-26 have any valuable equipment for her Kai? The wiki doesn't have any listed.

>>15703118
Wiki is fucking useless for this kind of question, retard.

>>15703131
It isn't, he should be able to tell by reading about aerial combat, damage modifiers, and the planes in general.

>>15703114
I didn't think of using boss support, fuck.

>>15703126

Kumarinko is truly the cutest Mogami and one of the best twintails in th game.

>>15703129
Looks like a typical chipping run to me.
How many resources do you have left?

>>15703135
She's my favorite CA.

>>15703133
No, retard. For example dive bombers were better for Spring E6. Wiki doesn't properly cover the bonus damage in events.

>>15703117
Wait until next event when Tanaka makes Fubuki being the flagship required for routing. He'll outright quit the event.

>>15703136
I started really low as well, my ammo is my biggest worry so far.

>>15703131
>Torp are better
Well shit, I have a ton of Ekusa catching dust and now this.

>>15703030
I think you can also get Aquila on E4 with A rank so there's that. And if you decide to try to farm E3 hard you have a 3rd airbase as well.

>>15703145
There's a lot of days left, anon. Go kuso when there's only a week left, at least.

>>15703150
Only the sub drops on A on easy E4 on poi-db

>>15703143
wew lad

>>15703117

I guess you'll gladly keep eating shit as long as it means someone in your proximity will not be satisfied? Kill yourselves.

>>15703171

>Complains about Fubuki.
>Doesn't complain about the other 6 ships you need to bring.

Stay classy anon.

>>15703171
>implying you're forced to use a strict setup
Someone got triggered again. Apparently people forgot how they had to use 3-4 specific ships to get better routing without getting a pool of acceptable ships.

>>15703159

Yeah I just checked it needs to be medium or above to Aquila from A rank.

>>15703180
You need three Mogamis out of four and there's variety in screenshots as people switch them around. They're also actually useful for killing the installation and people would use them regardless of branching (though more would get Tones). Kongous are generally good ships and would get used regardless of branching (it's actually good to not see Bisko in escort). Meanwhile everybody uses Fubuki to avoid the swirl despite her being otherwise useless piece of shit.

>>15703186
Don't worry, I disliked Fall 2015 far more than this.

>>15703195
>despite her being otherwise useless piece of shit

But she's not. Her AACI is more than enough to secure a safe passage through Wo Kai Flag if you achieve air supperiority too, same in the boss.

She also has 31 HP which make her good at overkill protection.

>>15703206
Normal DD AACI isn't even half as effective as Akizuki's AACI.

Is E4 easy farming cheaper than E3 easy?

>>15703210

Your point being?

>>15703210
It doesn't matter either way if you don't make it past the first fucking node

>>15703212
Well, I guess it's fine if it was enough for you.

>>15703211
The yasen node scares me. No idea personally

>>15703210
Branching rules are supposed to make you use ships that might not be the best of the best, news at eleven. What would be the point of putting branching rules that made you go in the right direction with the perfect fleet everybody has? Either you go with perfect fleet through the hard route or with sub-par fleet through the easy route. Rocket science.

>>15703195
>Meanwhile everybody uses Fubuki to avoid the swirl despite her being otherwise useless piece of shit.
Try harder

>>15703222
The yasen node is a piece of cake and at most you'll get 1 taiha, which isn't bad since you can S rank the boss node during the day with 2 ships missing.

>>15703225
Stop, you're making too much sense and I can't argue with it. But well, I vented enough, I feel better now.

Seems like the only shipgirl Kawakami was after from this event was Mizuho and he got her within an hour.

Aquila drops tonight and I'm ordering 2 XL pizzas tomorrow

I hear Eugen only drops on two formations in E2. Is it safe to clear E2 or am I going to get fucked out of a formation?

>>15703145
>>15703157
As someone who went full faggot for various reasons, if you REALLY need to drop difficulty, you can do medium.

Has it been determined yet what guarantees L > M on E4? I know there was talk of Iowa earlier but I don't read Japanese and I don't trust the wiki. While doing my E(asy)4 farming I threw together a fleet and I was prepared to be diverted but I haven't once so far in the last couple hours.

In case anyone is interested it's:
2 BBV 4 CV (unarmored) + 2 CA 2 DD 1 CL 1 CLT

How do people farm with FCF?

>>15703258
Iowa is good to use.

>>15703261
Umm, they use FCF when taiha happens?

Is this ok for chipping E4?
Is there anything to fix?

How's Akitsushima for Mizuho substitute in E2?

>>15703277
And this is my LBAS. Every bases will be sent to I node.

>>15703279
Did you even look at her stats? Do you have any idea why people use Mizuho?

>>15703261
Send shitbuki home and then collect your drop from the boss. Not even cherrypicking the SS, they literally happened for my last 2runs making me recycle my ducky while waiting for fatigue.

>>15703284
Let me rephrase that.
Any good substitute for Mizuho in E2?

>>15703289
Chito/Chiyo AV.

Stop bullying Cutebuki!

I'm about to farm E3 Hard. Wish me a peaceful death, /jp/.

>>15703305

>>15703305
Maybe when Tanaka stop shoving her down our throat.

>>15703309

I did 120 S ranks on easy before I gave up and cleared it on hard. It's apparently statistically impossible for me to get Aquila. Everyone else seems to get her in only a handful of runs or while clearing.

>>15703277
1st fleet:
- move Kaga to slot #1 and give her FCF. Sub-200 damage is better than no damage at all.
- you don't need these fucking radars, get rid of them and slap more fighters instead; you can keep 1 in smallest slot.
- use Saiun.

2nd fleet:
- give Ooyodo searchlight and night scout, move her to slot #1.
- give Prinz star shell instead of this searchlight and replace Maya's night scout with Bofors.

>>15703282
Should be fine. I used 2/2, 1/3, 0/4 (interceptor/bomber) setup and it made node I a free pass with ~85% reliability.

>>15703315
>Maybe
As if you would. He didn't for the last few events before this and you still shit on her like no tomorrow whenever she's brought up.

>>15703315
>isn't forced to use Fubuki at all
>it's "shoving Fubuki down our throat"
You're shoving her down your own throat.

>>15703323
>>15703329
Thanks, I would try that right away.
Any suggest for last dance? I think of switching to Yamato class, remove FCF for one more blue plane, or switch from Kaga to Hayasui.

>>15703344
Don't thanks us, yw! Make sure to recommend this general to all of your wikia friendotachis

How much time do you spend per day playing this? Idlecolle doesn't count.

>>15703356
I don't know anymore.

>>15703356
15 hours. If you don't rank you're worthless.

>>15703356
>Idlecolle doesn't count.
I do events every 3 months I guess

>>15703356
>Idlecolle doesn't count.
I'm being oppressed.

>>15703320
I cleared E3 Hard without debuff in 8 runs, the rarest ship I got was Zuizui.

>>15703356
4-5 hours maybe?

>>15703222
why say anything if you don't know?

>>15703356
I exclusively play during events.

Level grinding is a waste of time.

Dailies are a waste of time.

Rankings are a waste of time.

I'm only in it to collect cute girls!

>>15703330
The fact she appears in this role multiple times while other girls never get branching is reason enough.

>>15703337
Yeah, other alternatives are literally whos. Fubuki is at least kept to upgrade trips so in the end 99% of people avoiding mealstrom use her.

>>15703371
And how do you collect the cute girls if you don't have the strength to save them?

>>15703372
I never went to the maelstrom and I never used Shitbuki, Hatsucute, or Cuteyuki.

>>15703373
You can buy resources from the cash shop... Don't tell me you didn't know that

>>15703376
Yura also counts for anyone who started after 2013.

>>15703373
the cute girls are also collectible in kuso mode

maybe they should make yamato medal a cute girl, then people would be more motivated

>>15703376
>potatoes
>cute

I really like how there's no such thing as shouha for E4 boss fight. Either you come out in full health because they don't hit you or you're in chuuha or taiha (most likely the latter).

>>15703381
Funny you mention Yura, since she was the CL in the fleet. Great little champ, she is. People need to appreciate her more.

>>15703383
Isonami-chan is the cutest Shitbuki-class and you can't deny that.

>>15703373
It's just a testament that if you actually care about the cute girls you can level any necessary ships within the 2-4 week duration of an event.

That's exactly what I've done for 3+ years and don't have much trouble with events.

The only event ships I'm missing are Graf, Amagi, and Teruzuki, and I'm sure I'll get them all at some point.

>>15703386
>Isonami
>cute

>>15703386
>Yura
Frankly, her personality is flat but whatever float your boats.

>Isonami
Now, that is taste.

>>15703388
Well, I've been playing for less than two years and my Pokedex has been complete since Christmas.

>>15703389
Fuck off potatohater.

>>15703388
>That's exactly what I've done for 3+ years and don't have much trouble with events.
>don't have much trouble with events.
You can't even save Amagi or Teruzuki.

>>15703394
I'm happy for you being rewarded for your hard work, TTK, but my fleet prefers to take it easy~

Okay fuck this 2 yuugumos in 3 drops shouldn't have posted that picture

Here's aquila. Let's go

>>15703399
The only reason I missed out on Teruzuki is because I took a 6 month break from the game and by the time I came back I only had a week left to save her.

I'm sorry Teru, I'll rescue you someday~

I've been playing since 2013 and haven't cleared past E-3 of any recent event

>>15703297
>Chito/Chiyo Adult videos.

>>15703411
I played since IBS 2013 and I failed to get memedal there, no point for me to chase for other medals unless I'll start over on new server.

You could probably apply for Indonesian citizenship if you can prove that.

>>15703419

Reminder if you don't have Shinden none of your memedals are worth anything you fucking casual.

What does the E3 debuff even do to the asswalls?
I noticed zero difference and got my ass handed to me.

>>15703462
They blow up like muslims if your carriers crit them good. You can literally one shot them even in hard. Doesn't happen too much though from what I can see though.

>>15703462
Makes them take more damage from aerial strikes.

>>15703466
>>15703467
Thanks. I'll just have to cross my fingers on the next run then.

>>15703419
>I played since IBS 2013 and I failed to get memedal there
>Memedal
>In IBS
As someone who went through 15 hours of hell in that event, I'm bringing your statement into question.

Fuck.
>>15703277
>>15703282
I did followed anon advices
>>15703323
>>15703329
for the first run.
I node was a free pass, had to sent Ayanami and Yukikaze back before boss node, scratched boss by 40 HP and all TCI at night battle were diverted to meatshield himes.
Is this common? I know it just the first run but it made me feel like it would be impossible to beat this.

Aquila..

>>15703478
Taitei-chan's such a cutie

How many skilled lookouts do you need? I've never used one before ever (except when upgrading a searchlight to a BIG searchlight I used)

>>15703442
Do you have an ID3 Ooi?

>>15703486
>ID3

>>15703421
I have no way of proving it, but the I-401 at the bottom is the Arpeggio drop.

So what the hell is up with the drops? It's downright insulting getting Naka or Yura from a boss.It's not even kuso mode

>>15703411
Easy mode is for you.
Don't be ashamed. The Japanese use it without shame.

Kinda disappointed that Pasta BBs don't drop this event.

DOes arashi drop anywhere besides E3 boss?

>>15703490
I think Arpeggio was my first event. Too bad I blitzed my I-401, I still haven't replaced her either. She doesn't want to drop for me and doesn't want to craft.

>>15703497
One guy on nico S'd the E4 boss for last kill, got Poi.

>>15703497
You should see me E3 farming droplist

>>15703484
Only time I used it in an event was Summer '15 because I had no luck boosted CAs.

Just perfect S the boss node with ease after escorting Shoucucku home. E3 seems like a walkover unlike what I have been reading in this thread.

>>15703506

>>15703501
The ducks, the pasta BBs and Yuu are the only good ships (besides the newer ones obviously) which don't drop in this event and they all dropped in the previous one. It's clear they don't want to make events that drop everything.

>>15703513
Yes, boss node is autowin. Just getting there can be annoying.

>>15703499
It used to be that I'd play on hard, switch to easy mode with about 6 hours left to go and not get anywhere. These days I do one sortie to E-1 or E-2 a day, then rush down whatever on the last day and go home.

It doesn't help that I've always been super not-excited about foreign ships. Minazuki is about 90% of what I want out of this event.

>>15703513
Why 4 seaplanes on Mogami?

Why AACI on Fubuki instead of Ducky?

>>15703513
That's because you are using sissy kidou fleet instead of manly suijou.

Does anyone have a link to the fubuki yuudachi and akagi video?

>>15703526
Is suijou viable on E4? Kido is great, but the bauxite consumption kills me.

>>15703518
Akizuki drops at E-4 boss. Or maybe it was E-3 boss where I got my dupe.

>>15703544
It is, but route can be troublesome since with just two CVL you have to equip a lot of fighters per carrier and that also means less airstrike damage at butt himes.

>>15703544
Kaga as a reppuu mule is able to get air parity in all node if you get your LBAS right for node I.

>>15703545
E4.

>get taiha'd 4 times on E3B

Well there goes an hour of 0 progress.

>>15703545
Both nodes drop her. She even drops on A rank.

I never need to worry about prinz being invisible because I see a level 1 version of her on my pvp list every day!

can you lose planes from land bases?

>>15703561
what

>>15703586

>>15703586
I'm guessing he misread Akizuki as Aquila.

>>15703605
Kinda. I was clicking back and forth checking where to farm Aquila and somehow got the impression Akizuki also drops on both maps.

My favourite ooyodo is ooyodoff!

>making events that are a struggle to win even on easy because you were unfortunate enough to come in too late to get the necessary equipment or couldn't play during those periods

>>15703620

I was lucky at coming back after a year long hiatus for winter this year. I dunno what I'd do if I were to return now after missing all the elite land base planes these 2 last events introduced

>>15702476
Dive bombers can't attack installations desu.

Also, torpedo bombers were also used to drop standard bombs on land-based targets IRL. since it required less precision than attacking ships.

>>15703620
This event is a breeze on Easy.

The hard part is getting the Ginga from E-3 Hard.

>>15702476
>>15703630
In last event dive were effective on one map while torp on other map.
This is a perfectly valid question.

>>15703632
This event was a breeze on easy up until E-4, where it just became a goddamn wall for me since I don't have Hayasui or any good Land base craft.

I'm very close to just quitting.

>>15703620
What are you talking about, I got around using carrier planes for bombers and I'm not even using Fastsuck on E4.

Literally git gud

I'll go comfort myself with some oppai lolis

>>15703476
Of course, this kind of shit is bound to happen. Don't expect your main force to sink any of these BB himes with an ammo penalty this high. E-4 is rather expensive, get used to it.

How are 2 landbase bombings for I node working out? I remember sending only 2 bases once and the boss taiha'd a ship, so I resorted to always sending 3 full-force. But seeing as how people are saying they are breaking through with 2, considering sending a third one to the air nodes for more safe passage.

You're doing something wrong.

Is the debuff permanent?

>>15703774
Without Fastsuck this is hands down worse than Iowa's map.

At least with Iowa it was way more dependent on debuffs instead of meme boats that tons of players have no access to.

>>15703768
Some pretty hardcore powerleveling

Hurts the winrate though

>>15703781
Considering how my escorts love eating crits, I want to mitigate any risks on the way to the boss. Node I is not a problem because of all three LBAS, although now I'm rethinking my position.

>>15703787
I liked how people here still defend it though and say people who got lucky rolls are exemplary notes that Hayashit isn't needed. E-4 doesn't even compare to AA Hime; she could be consistently killed after the debuff.

The only thing holding you back for E-4 is your shit fuel/ammo when you reach boss node. It's ridiculous how having Hayasui suddenly changes 70% of your ships getting taiha and doing pitiable damage to a very viable S-rank.

Only 70 runs on E1 for Nimu and I'm finally done. Good luck with your hunting /jp/!

Aquila on the 3rd run, now on to the Ginga.

Many thanks to that anon who posted his low-cost farming fleet in the previous thread. I think he got his Aquila on the 5th run.

OK. I give up. How many oil tanks do I need for straight 7 kills? Is there any place for Hayasui in 4CV fleet?
