Today's her birthday, say something nice about her

Kankers is dead

(Rather prematurely) calling it as Doolittle Raid counterattack -> Coral Sea / Operation MO + Operation RY. Enough of the pieces (but not all of them) fit that it makes sense, although the Doolittle Raid is still a bit too distant from the latter 2-to-3 events for my liking.

>>16095014
Love her, she's as good as girls can get. Stronk, determined, playful, beautiful, with great body and good fascion sense. Also, ponytail. Also, hot twin sister for regular threesomes.

am I fucked? I don't have any of the DDs

>>16095053

Why exactly do you not have those DDs? They're fairly common.

>>16095058
I've been meaning to level ushio but she always sinks at 1-6 every time I get her. I tried farming oyashio for ages but I didn't get her. The others I don't have because I don't like how they look

>>16095014
You are a century old.

>>16095053
Level doesn't matter. Just grab some of them and put them in flagship position. I cleared E-3 hard in summer with lvl 20 fubukis.

>>16095059
>I don't like how they look

That's some pretty shit taste youve got there anon.

>>16095059
Kuso.
Next

>>16095071
Literally everybody does it. I bet you even do it.

>>16095073

>Literally

Literally fuck yourself.

>>16095073
Everyone does what? Sinks ships in 1-6?
No. Only Kusos do that.
>im so cheap on resources i have to save a couple hundred just to do a walkthrough map!

When will Tanaka remove Buin?

>J-list ads are back

When did that happen?

>>16095053
Damn, looks like I'll need to level Nimu and whale. I'll leave the useless DDs until it's confirmed what map they need.

>>16095053
We are more fucked if a SS is required for routing

>>16095073

>>16094826
Other than the fact that CA can be used in some places you can't use BB, CAs are also more powerful in some situation like night battle if they're setup properly. Speaking of which do you know how to setup equipment for your girls?

And try to get more buckets before event. Resources can be auto-regenerated after you use them, but buckets can't

>>16095252
> how to setup equipment for your girls?
What the wiki tells me, only the most basic stuff, I'm not an expert in this.

>>16095256
Just look at the setups other people are posting.

Double gun and seaplane is mandatory on BBs and CA/CAVs unless the map requires a weird setup.

Carrier setups depend on the required air power.

DDs and CLs have the most situational loadouts, but generally DDs should be 2 guns if they're low luck or 3 torpedoes if they're high luck. Or sonar and depth charge if there's enemy submarines.

>>16095321
That's obvious enough.

>>16095324
Everything past that is hugely situational and depends completely on the map.

Generally you're balancing yasen strength against day strength because you need to actually reach the boss to win. But you also have to consider specialist equipment to deal with annoying enemies, like single trollsubs or air attack nodes or pillboxes. Flagship Ru Kai always tags alongside installations to force your BBs to take an AP shell.

>>16095014

>>16095354
It was a good read.

things are boring in this point before the event

>>16095014
She's great in the 4koma.

>>16095014
Her class needs a K2 already

>>16095560
Why do you want her to be better than Fusou?

Is this event finally Atago's time to shine?

Oyashio better not actually be required for routing or I'm fucked

>>16095676
It's going to be like last event's E3 where you only need 6-7 of them in 1 fleet.

>>16095132
Roughly a week I think

https://twitter.com/keikurin/status/797458828723777536

>>16095840

Why is Asashio listed twice?

>>16095840
>Samidare with dick
I think I have acquired a new fetish.

>>16096003
Faggotry is not a fetish.

>>16095982
It's clearly Agano.

>>16095840

Which one?

>>16095840
I like futanaris, but they have to have huge tits. Otherwise, it's just gay.

>>16096014
If Oyashio's eyes were blue this would be perfect

>>16096066
Assashio, but why not both?

>>16096066
I want to fuck the tsun out of Kasumin

>>16095676
>>16095982
It's kind of a relief to see people fucked by RNG in a similar way as oneself.

>>16096066
Both is good http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=59566737

>>16096152
Were they always this cock hungry? How did Konishi do it?

>>16096201
They are pretty professional about it, all for admiral's well-being and sanity.

>>16095676
>>16096143
Well, you guys are better off with heavy cruisers at least. I regret nothing.

>>16096241
That poor Asashio is in need of some special intensive training.

>>16096241
>118

Really?

>>16095982
>>16096143
>>16095982
You know apparently the operation name could also refer to the Gilbert Islands.

Did it for fun, but I don't see the point of this exercise when we don't have more details yet.

Souryuu and Hiryuu shouldn't be in there, since they were too far off (near Taiwan) when this happened. They were tasked to intercept, but didn't make it in time, if I read the Wikipedia description correctly. Neither should Taigei/Ryuuhou, since she was undergoing reconstruction into a CVL at the time.

>>16096310
It's not like there's much else to do after quests and EOs are done until the event.

>>16096310
[Citation Needed]

>>16096260
Yeah, I was focusing on leveling Ooshio at first, but that may have to be reevaluated.

>>16096283
Agreed, it really needs to be much higher. I really fucked up, lads.

>>16096399
And where is your citation it was the doolittle raid?

>>16096399
They used 作戦第三法 for the gilberts as well. Not to mention the Gilberts sound more like a medium event.

>>16096462
I'm not too fussed about whether it's the Doolittle Raid or not. But the term is mentioned on the Japanese Wikipedia page on the subject (as well as several books scanned and uploaded to Google if you search hard enough, while it doesn't seem to be on the Japanese Wikipedia page for the Gilbert & Marshall Islands Raid. That's my point: Where's the source?
>>16096470
Okay, but where are you getting this from?

>>16096527
>Okay, but where are you getting this from?
From Japanese sources. Apparently third method or law means interception.
Honestly though, I'm just not trying to set anything in stone.
That said the only problem with this being the Dolittle raid is how they are going to stretch out a relatively short counteroffensive to a medium sized event. While there were two US fleets, Hornet's and Enterprises, that just means I can only see this being stretched out to two maps at most.
I guess they could always tack on coral sea as well.

Warspite's Kai Ni revealed.

>>16096610
Oh, I agree with you very much regarding that, then.

>「対米国艦隊作戦第三法」(米機動部隊に対する作戦要領・付近にある部隊による決戦)

https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=4ZdODAAAQBAJ&pg=PT20&lpg=PT20&dq="作戦第三法"&source=bl&ots=D6JwVw336x&sig=PFtUpz3zYGR8Fu_FK_NgPj5O4lc&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjvnuHVgqTQAhUBMI8KHd9gC3E4KBDoAQgXMAA#v=onepage&q=%22%E4%BD%9C%E6%88%A6%E7%AC%AC%E4%B8%89%E6%B3%95%22&f=false

Seems to imply that it refers to an overarching IJN strategy to counterattack against the USN Carrier Force and ultimately force them into a decisive battle (Midway/MI), not just to the response post-Doolittle-Raid. In that case, it could well encompass all of the events from the Gilbert/Marshall Islands Raid to Coral Sea / MO / RY, since that was in essence the prelude to Midway, and the constant harassment from the USN CVs was what made Yamamoto commit to Midway in the first place.

>>16096201
They were always rape bait, he hid nothing.

>>16096651
That makes sense.
Now that I think about it 6-5 is also about interception. Kwajalein where Enterprise raided in February, 1942.

>>16096610
They can stretch it out easily.
A light fleet to clear out surrounding waters.
The classic land base attack and TP bar to build an airbase.

That's three maps right there which really have nothing to do with the historic operation.

How ready is everyone for an easy Fall event?

>>16096651
It wouldn't be the first time 2 battles were featured in 1 event.

>>16096780
You had people complaining the last event was insanely hard for the final map without hayasui barrels so..

>>16096780
I've been ready since two months ago.

>>16096797
>last event was insanely hard
Only scrubs

>>16096628
?

>>16096774
>A light fleet to clear out surrounding waters.
The classic land base attack and TP bar to build an airbase.
So basically Operation MO or Coral Sea.

>>16096797
>>16096825

lol, no one said it was "insanely hard". People just complained about it being a lot easier with Hayasui barrels.

>>16096877
This happens when you get a response from a retard who easily strips your words from context and slaps a laughing purple-haired slut with bad anatomy as reaction image.

>>16096895
Can't handle the cuteness?

Should i upgrade Proto41 or Burger guns?

>>16096909

Burger guns unless you feel special love for your Fusos.

>Kuma K2 switches between a kiso-tier CLT and a utility CL
Would you like it?

>>16096958
But I don't want Kuma, I want Nagara.

>>16096958
No please, I just want some good old plain stat boosts again instead of more Kai Nis with an extra A/B/C form, daihatsus or other special snowflake stuff.

>>16097029
You can keep Asashio in normal Kai Ni for the second strongest DD in the game

>>16097193

The terror.

>>16096958
I'd rather they implement the switch to all converted ships.

>>16097193
The "on drugs" series was really fun.

haha OWNed

>>16097274
That's hardly fair: two battleships against one.

>>16097290
So true.

Are you going to marry any of the new girls based on appearance or be a faggot and do it for stats?

>>16097521
Why not both?

>>16097521
Appearance and personality. Marrying for stats is faggotry.

>>16097521
I've only married one girl and am planning to keep it that way.

>>16097521
Why are you asking this before we even know what they look like?

>>16097521
Wait, so you didn't give your one true ring to the flagship of your heart, and then give everyone else a ring for increased battle potential? Are you autistic?

>>16097655
>Are you autistic?
Are you?

>increased battle potential
Something something odd hp.

>>16097655
How can someone tell who is the flagship of any heart when they all look the same to people who don't know?

>>16097662
>caring about what others think and how they see your fleet
>>>/soc/

>>16097667
Then what's the point of this >>16097655?

>>16097662
The flagship of your heart will be level 155 of course.

>>16097721
>playing for 3 years
>none of my ship is level 155

>>16097749
I have been playing for three years too and my starter is 155.
Why are you slacking?

>>16097749
>not having a lvl 155 for every year you've been playing
Do you just idlecolle a lot?

>>16097749
You're not getting there unless you rankfag, use her as your PvP flagship every single day or go to your levelling map of choice a few thousand times.

>>16097749
Are you not even doing PvP?

I knew I recognize this pose before.

>>16097937
So the abyssals are French.

>>16098021

Why the fuck does Kinu change angles

>>16098144

>>16098144

We Americans don't have much. You can extend it by going back to colonial times but still.

>>16098534
We at least have a shit ton of wars to go through, only something like 7 years in our entire history being at peace.

>>16098534
Bismarck should have been designed with actual Bismarck's uniform.

I always imagined USS Washington as Washington from Civ5 with Kanmusu rigging.

Saratoga would fit in really well with the Japanese ships in general. Not only was she unlucky with submarines, but she had a bird as a symbol like many of the Japanese carriers.

>>16098553
Forgot picture.

>>16098561
I just hope Yoshinori doesn't go down the firearm route, it's just lazy. It worked for Kamikaze because the 12cm gun has a distinct shape to fit in a handgun.

>>16098539
This. We're a young nation, but like it or not we've been at the center of attention for most of our history, whether beating other people up in wars, policing the world, or having Britain and France fight over us when we were young. No reason why they can't give Sara or Lex a tri-corner hat or musket instead of just a short skirt...

>>16098579
What do you want then? The Lexingtons did have those 8 inch guns. Not Native American themed I hope.

Yes.

>>16088562

Really late, but those vents on the sides are from a cooling chamber for the smokestack. When the tested aircraft landing back in the 20s they found out hot exhaust from the smokestack created ascending currents above the ship that could causes perturbations during landing. Notice how carriers built during that period had different ways to deal with that problem, like how Kaga had an horizontal smokestack that ran all the way to her stern (and made the ship itself pretty much unlivable)

>>16095014

>>16099361
You have shit taste my friend. I can understand the submarine and the 4 gun turret but those vents are awful.

American carriers should have small breasts or be flat due to having smaller hangars despite their size.

>>16099899
I agree.

>>16095053
I should be fine, probably.

>>16099899
Nah.

>>16095014
Why people don't like you? Why would people prefer the Fusous over you? Why would people prefer the entitled and spoiled ship like the Fusous over you who look like a peasant, but are hardworking and tough as nails?

>>16100027
I'd like Ise and Hyuuga if they weren't potatoes especially with their blurry rigging.

>>16100027
People have shit taste and like the Kuso superstructures.

>>16100027
Their design is a little strange when you group them together with everyone else, but it also strangely works well and I think they are some of Shitbafu's better designs.

Hyuuga has her Zuin fixation but Ise doesn't have much of anything sadly. Plus the Fusous have their whole pegoda shtick along with the fact they act miserable and they also have the pleasure of being with Shigure's mopery at times.

>>16100063
In the non-game content their personalities are expanded a bit more; Ise's supposed to be childish and irresponsible while Hyuuga is more mature.

>>16100027
>Ise class work hard until the end
>Fusous are eh, they don't even become BBVs
I find it pretty hilarious. Ise and Hyuuga are very disciplined but Fusou and Yamashiro complain about back pain.

>>16100027
Fusous have better stats, there was a lot more Fukou bullying before their Kai Nis.

>>16100057

>Liking 2 japanese princesses of old is now considered shit taste

Wew lad, must be hard being a hipster. And yeah, as this anon said >>16100085 shit was horrible for Fusous before their Kai Ni.

Damn bitch was impossible to level, she was getting taiha EVERY run I fucking swear. So when she got crit one node before boss (and 10 exp before lvl 10) I decided 'Fuck it, engage!'. And that was a mistake, good thing Ooi wasn't around.
I will remember you for ever.

>>16100304
>a ship less than level 10 was getting taiha every run

Wow no shit, and since she sunk that means she wasn't even flagship.

>>16100316
Yeah, I suppose flagship was a chito (for a midget sub). I remember that I got my very first midget right after that sortie, with no KTKM to put it on. That was very sad.

>>16100696
Better than Warspite.

>>16100680

Thats a good question. On her base Kai Ni form she's got awesome stats that puts her on par with old powerhouses like Yuudachi and Ayanami, or new ones like Kasumi or Ooshio. But the main problem is that if you've got all those 4 DDs at Kai Ni and in good shape you'll barely need any more than that.

That's why Asashio K2 D becomes a very good adition to your fleet thanks to her ability to secure preemptive ASW strike while still being able to carry other equipment. Ideally you'll want to use her on maps where there is a troll sub node since she can do preemptive ASW and still have double attack at night or carry ay combination of anti instalation equips for good eficiency. Of course, getting her to 88 ASW is a long way but the posibility is there.

>>16100691
Which ship is USN equivalent of Yodo?
Is it Fletcher because she was the first one to have CIC?

>>16100719

None, since the americans never built a design as retarded as the Ooyodo class.

>>16100707
Thanks, man. I'll keep my Asashio in Kai Ni D form, I already have those DD that you mentioned.
Then, I must assume that Kasumi Kai Ni is better than Kai Ni B, right?

>>16100728
I meant, her role in KanColle world as a typical secretary because she has FCF.

>>16100739
Sure, because she is one of tank-specialist, being though enough not to blow up before boss node.

Janny is actually so buttblasted about Trump winning the election that he actually banned me and deleted all subsequent replies because I made a practical joke about MAGA. Not even a murrican here.

Stay mad.

and BTW

>>16100739

Kasumi can already use any daihatsu at Kai Ni so no reason to upgrade her to Kai Ni B because her AA cut-in sucks and the ability to carry big radars makes sense only at 2-5. Even so, with good equips and levels you should not need that in any map

>>16100739
No, Kasumi Kai Ni isn't better than Kai Ni B. Always go for last remodels. They exist for a reason.

>>16100728
No, you are.

>>16100777
There's no reason to keep her on Kai Ni while on Kai Ni B she can use large radars. No matter what are your equips and fleet, this ability will always be relevant because it will allow you to use different setups. For example you'll be able to bring additional starshell on another DD instead of T33.

Autism

>>16100790

>There's no reason to keep her on Kai Ni

37 base luck means getting her to workable luck levels with 3 Maruyu batches while her Kai Ni stats + 3 quints and/or sex will make her reach night damage cap with torp cut-in. She also has the magical 31 HP which gives her excellent survability besides her already great stats

>Needing large radars to reach LoS requirements

Perhaps if you are an scrub.

>>16100815
Is your problem. I simply know how to play this game. Please refrain from spreading bad advice when someone is politely asking for help.

>>16100823
I thought you left these threads some time ago after getting BTFO'd at multiple occasions.

>>16100832
Please, if normal Kai Ni was the one that needed higher level you would be suggesting that instead. B is better for the 2-5 monthly and that's bascially it.

>>16100832

>getting BTFO
>spreading bad advice

Are you 12 or have some form of autism anon? Perhaps schizophrennia? Not even gonna bother when you are showing persecutory delusions and basing your whole argument on a single map and quest you do only once a month.

>>16100854
You never know what will happen in the future. Last event had a couple of LoS checks. Having more options will never harm you and difference in battle potential is minimal (4 less fp but 2 more armor, evasion, 1 los, 8aa). You already have Yuudachi and Ayanami for (much higher) firepower while for TCI there are Yukikaze, Shigure, Hatsushimo and waifus. Don't forget you often bring along an Akizuki-class for AACI who in general have high firepower as well and good bulk. You don't need a dozen of DDs focused on firepower alone.
B is much better for the monthly. It's similar for everything else. Slightly less power but slightly better survivability. There's no reason to not choose B.

Kai Ni B being final remodel and looking better is a different matter.

>>16100913
>Last event had a couple of LoS checks.
It did? I never noticed them.

>>16100913

>There's no reason to not choose B.

Yes, there is. Because its got marginal utility compared to base form. And even in the case you actually need it you can simply change her to B form, modernize her and use her.

Also, as this anon says >>16100916 There wasn't any instance you needed K2 B version in last event unless your ships were underleveled or you had shit equips.

>>16100916
Yeah, they were there. Not too severe but they did affect people who for example wanted to go crazy with drums/daihatsu on E2. They can happen again and can be higher next time.
If you prefer keeping Kasumi in base form because you value straightforward effect of firepower more, sure, go for it. Just be aware it isn't outright better though. They are different. What separates them is that there are ships who do Kasumi Kai Ni's job better than her but there is no DD who shares the utility of Kasumi Kai Ni B.

How do we Make Akitsushima Great at all?

>>16100976
Give Taitei land bomber stats.

>>16100976
Give Taitei-chan historical bombing stats while keeping it immune from AACI.

>>16100976
What did they do to you?

>>16100920
Don't expect proper replies from me until you learn how to discuss without pulling strawmen all the time. Typing like an obnoxious faggot is already in your veins so I have accepted this will never change.

>>16100976

Her utility is already modeled into the game by giving you better routing in key maps. It's all thanks to the Emily since they were the best flying boats of the war. They already give a very high chance of contact by thenselves though it would be nice if they gave other bonuses to the fleet as well since almost never you are going to equip an Emily on Akitsushima.

>>16100960
>there are ships who do Kasumi Kai Ni's job better than her.
No there aren't. Poi and Ayanami can't equip daihatsu. Kasumi+Ooshio make the best anti installation DDs.

>>16101016
Well it's not surprising that Emily is the best flying boat. Japanese doctrine required seaplanes and Flying boats since they knew their building capacity for ships and airstrips was inferior to their rivals.

That said Germany, Britain and America built pretty impressive flying boats themselves.

>>16101083
SUNDERLAND

They eventually developed the Seaford which was bigger and armed with fiddies, love this plon

What a shame the Sunderlands were tendered by little dinky river boats, no brit tender anytime soon

>>16101042
Kasumi Kai Ni B does the anti-installation fight just as well. Slightly lower damage but slightly higher chance of being in better health at boss node.

>Kasumin

>>16101272
This isn't Kasumi, her ponytail is on the other side.

>>16101284

>>16101323
It's not assault if she cums.

>>16100976
Would a Night flying boat be a thing?
Could it replace Taitei?

>>16101418
That was a rejected design from 1930s. Only two were built.

It's really no lamer than bows and arrows for planes. Cooler carriers use magic, too bad their stats leave much to be desired.

>>16102286
bows and arrows vs fists as an analogy to illustrate the difference in range is retarded

>>16102286
Yeah, and USN had, by far, the most fuel efficient ships in war.
Still didn't stop Iowa from being more of resource guzzler than the Pasta ships.

Who is the most rapeable kanmusu?

>>16102343

>>16102382

Aquila's plane didn't even have it's carrier completed. We can only make guesses. That said it would probably have even worse performance that early Seafires.

Everyone knows they're going to balance them out to make it so whatever ship is implemented won't outclass literally everything without some sort of gimping, retard.

>>16101519
You misunderstand. That Night flying boat was regarded as a failure back in 1937.
> It proved to have poor stability and water handling, while the engine installtion overheated.
They just went with the Sendai plane instead.

>kill counts+ survivability = stats
Enterprise would be a carrier with Battleship tier fire power and evasion at Shimakaze tier.

>>16102537

>>16102608
>Hope these are worth it.
They are.

>>16102575
Specs also play a big part of it though too. Musashi and Yamato get great fire power thanks to their guns and shells being heavy. And havy tons of armor(Though in Musashi's case she did survive 10 to 18 torpedos depending on your source which is a pretty large amount.)
Shimakaze's stats for example is completely based on spec.
>>16102537
Both Iowa and Warspite both outclass the Kongos, Ises and Fusos in Firepower. Actually so do the Italians, at least Roma.

High FP and armor but extremely low evasion. Like, one digit evasion for reals. Also, >slow

>>16095053
I think I'm golden

>>16102844
Higher than normal FP, and armor. Maybe has more HP than even I-401. Extremely low evasion and luck. Maybe has the ability to shell during the shelling phase but only if you equip guns.

>I never use CLs and especially CAs. Why would you ever need more than 2-3 CLs? And what's the point of CAs when you have BBs? Please teach me ho to be better at this.
Ship locking I believe. Events can have as many as 4 locks these days, so 1 CL for each lock. 3 CLs at least is good for if you need to run 5/21/37. You ought to keep 2-5 CLTs though, depending on whether you want to keep Kiso and if you want to keep dupe Kitakami/Ooi.

CAs are for routing in events, as are CAVs. 4 of each should be good enough. CAs are also damage dealers in yasen, which is desired in escort fleet.

Small radars can do most of what large radars can do. That's hardly a reason.

I would argue that Kasumi K2 is better than K2B because while both of them can carry daihatsu and tanks, K2's higher firepower puts her more poised to carry out anti-installation duties (IIRC K2 can deal cap damage to Ritou hime even in taiha red T, unlike K2B).

>>16100976
Turn her into a repair ship.

>>16103013
Maybe in some future mechanic for subs.

>>16103068
Even then they can't carry AA guns.

>>16100680
Keep both Asashio and Kasumin in their D and B form. Outside of events there is no point to keep them in their normal form. Just switch them back to their normal form if you need the extra firepower.
Also you can have both form if you have the spare slots for dupe.

>>16103377
Ok, let's get this straight, once and for all. She's not broken, she's perfectly fine. Everything checks out. Yes, her legs are *a bit* too long and too thick, but it's just an illusion, because she's on her tiptoes. It doesn't ruin her figure in the slightest. On the contrary, makes her even better, if your're a legfag.

>>16103455
K2B can do everything K2 can. It doesn't work in reverse. Reason enough for me. You saw one example in the image, with Kasumi Kai Ni you wouldn't be able to take second starshell which is very important for yasen.
Difference between small and big radars is pretty big - FuMO has +3fp, AA equal to max T13K, acc only matched by upgraded T22K4 and LoS simply unavailable to DD radars. Meanwhile T32 can achieve +12 LoS with small cost whereas 7 is realistic maximum for other DDs.

When it comes to fighting installations, yasen is usually way more important while day battle aims to clear out the escorts. In such situation Kasumi Kai Ni B has higher chance of participating in yasen due to slightly better all around stats. Remember that taiha ship can't do anything in yasen. In my opinion it evens out the small difference in firepower.

Yes, I know about FCF but I just can't see a use for it. If you put Kasumi in main fleet you're wasting her power and anti-installation capabilities plus you can always use FCF on different ship like CAV and it will work better because CAV can benefit from flagship artillery spotting bonus.

>>16103536
My dick says yes. No reaction to Murakumo Kai Ni.

>>16103544
Not as extreme.

>>16103455
To be honest, I find small radars to be pretty useless. I'd much rather take upgraded sonar for boost in fp and torpedo evasion. The only thing small radars do on DDs is increasing accuracy a bit (but it still sucks compared to artillery spotting of bigger ships or CAs' yasen). If there's a LoS requirement, Kasumi Kai Ni B allows me to ditch the radar from one of DDs which I find a big plus.

>>16103548
There's no Kai 2s in the arcade.
