If I'm going to node A on E5 do I need to send boss expedition support for it so show up? Or does it show up with the node support expedition one?

Aoba-san!

>>16186169
It's not a boss node.

>>16186172
What a whore.

>>16186169

See >>16186169. You only need node support for those runs.

>>16186183
Your face is a whore. Aoba a cute! Not as cute as Kinugasa, but still cute!

Any kuso collage pics up yet?

>>16186217
If anyone's working on one, I would like to reiterate my previous recommendation that we include Tilted Tone in the collage. Truly the highlight of the event.

>>16186156
>and a perfect air defence against each of the two air raids once each.
I thought it was twice. I wasted resources for nothing. Fuck.

>>16186239
Once each. Twice total.

>>16186249
I thought it was two perfect defenses in one sortie, twice. Either way, at least that shit's out of the way.

Yamakaze is CUTE!!!!!!

What is she doing?

>>16186306
>yamashitgure

>>16186327
Making Zuikaku's life even more miserable.

So, how many predictions did Sara fulfill?

>>16186378
You can't bingo this shit.

>>16186378
>CVB
>Hemorragies
>Crossposter

>>16186378

I'm happy I was wrong in so many of then since that bingo was just me preparing myself for some very bad scenarios.

>>16186378
Kill yourself.

>>16186403
Muh NImu Line is true, Saratoga is just a bit nervous and trying to keep the sub at arms legnth

>>16186403
>Re fodder
You fed Sara to Re?

>>16186403
>Re fodder
Where?

Also the fighters are still worse than Reppuu.

Fucking Resources

Can't clear 2-4
Can't get to 3-2
Can't grind
Can't clear event

NEVER ENDING SUFFERING

>>16186403
Nippon CVs are the only ones to have a K2. Shouldn't be surprising they are the best.

>>16186417
Or she forgot she existed.

>>16186442
Taihou is better even without Kai Ni.

>>16186457
Because she's an Armored Carrier, obviously. That's why people are ranking her below them.

Ok. I was on my last dance for 3 hours but I didn't even see the final formation of boss node yet.

>>16186403
>Re fodder

>>16186457
Taihou is also LSC and misses a lot.
Saratoga is Kaga/Akagi tier. Good for beginners.

>>16186486
Sara is good for everyone

>>16184987
Pretty much used this and got through debuffing a lot easier than expected. After getting the 2 defenses out of the way sending planes instead to various nodes to help with anti air made it a cake walk to reach A and S rank it consistently. Even managed to shoot all of wo's planes down at G in one run.

Why is Wikia so dumb?

>>16186486
>Saratoga is Kaga/Akagi tier. Good for beginners.
I find her better actually and she's good for everyone.

>>16186489
Well she is at least useable on event maps, unlike the two European-axis carriers. Plus she contributes a lot to AA in Kai form.

>>16186490
Well, I'm glad it helped, if that's what you meant. Let me know if you need anything else.

>>16186494

There are only chompy in 1-1 because that is your territory, not theirs. As maps progress, you enter deeper and deeper into their territory, that is the only true explanation to it, nothing more.

>>16186494
Amazing, this thread has already started off with some really retarded statements and yet these idiots always take the cake, good job wikia.

>>16186494
Okay, what the hell is this person talking about and what point is he or she trying to make?

>>16186494
What is with this make Humanity proud rhetoric? It's not just this guy.

Never forget the true heroes of this war.

>>16186531
Kiddies who grew up on Attack on Titan.

>can't S rank the second air node before node A
What the fuck.

>>16186530
Since it's in the comments section for this article, probably something related to this.

http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Abyssal_Jellyfish_Princess

>She is the first Abyssal ship that takes the form of a mass of aquatic lifeforms rather than a ship. This is likely represented in her CG, as she doesn't possesses any form of Aircraft launching kit or landing strip whatsoever.

They're back

>>16186306
Link to tweet please?

>>16186500
I didn't get Aquilla, is she that much shit?

>>16186583
Very much shit. I was farming for I-26 on E-3 last event when I got her as my consolation prize instead.

Cute to look at, not very good at anything else.

>>16186583
No, she's even worse.

>>16186583
You be the judge.

>>16186575
>Back of Souryuu's head
For what purpose

>>16186587
For the fiftieth time, she honestly should've been classified a CVL
Cute though

>>16186583
Worse than a CVL-tier. Cheapest CV to use but not by much and you might as well use an Unryuu instead.

>>16186592
I don't think anyone would deny that.

>>16186592
Even as a CVL she wouldn't be great, but at least we would have another fast one.

>>16186536
Fairies are weird beings.

The last time I had to re-level plane veterancy ranks this aggressively, I was running E-5 Hard during Spring. E-5 (this season) sure runs through them like no tomorrow.

>>16186614
Speaking of this, does putting bombers in the first slot make them level up faster? I fee like it does sometimes, but that is most likely my bad observation skills.

>>16186624
There's a damage bonus associated with the first slot (at maximum veterancy).

Not sure about levelling them up more quickly, though. I feel like I've seen that somewhere, but I can't remember where.

>>16186592
In the end, I guess our only hope is independence-class or the Colossus class(though those have a max speed 25 knots and thus would be slow) for more CVLs. Oh and I think someone said if the Devs add her, Ibuki would also be a CVL.

>>16186646
Maybe Saipan or her sister ship if the devs wanted to be extremely generous-The ship was finished after WW2 after all. Besides that yea, Indie is the only fast CVL.

Any able to explain how they determine range for the nodes?
Does Tanaka just throw numbers at random?

What is the use of shitty damecon anyway when it brings up your girl to taiha anyway? The goddess is the way to go.

>>16186667
The top right of the map is what makes no sense, the boss route is okay for the most part.

Do the Crossroads ships get the same damage bonus at E-5 when used in support expeditions?

>>16186699
yes

I SPARKLE EVERYONE OF THE SHIPS AND THIS IS THE FIRST NODE

ARHGREJRHGGGHHHH

FUCK YOIU

ALL THE ROUTE AND BOSS SUPPORT SPARKLES ARE GONE TOOO

>>16186699
If they do. Then it's boss support only. That said I would only do this with Nagato as the other two are needed for Yasen.

>>16186711

This is why you just get everything to 85/100 for E-4 Hard, and then begin your runs.

Read manga or watch anime or something while you're at it.

>>16186716
>not having 2x Nagato 3x Sakawa 3x Prinz Eugen

>>16186699
RTA streamers already tried, no.

>>16186717

I was. This was the second run. The first end with Hatsuzuki consuming a damecon at the last pre-boss node for nothing because that was the first time I use something like that and didn't know she revived will red hp.

>>16186711
At least you made it to the boss lol

>>16186731
That isn't the boss, anon. That's the first air battle node, the first node on the map.

>>16186731
That's not the boss you retard.

>>16186711
This is why you just don't give a fuck about sparkling for E-4 Hard and use a light fleet.

Tab to 4chan and funpost between nodes while you're at it.

>>16186612

>>16186729

Consider moving Hatsuzuki to flagship position for better(?) proc rate on AACI. Akizuki was my flag throughout my LD runs, and I used a fleet composition that was virtually identical to yours. Locked Kaga to the map instead of Graf, though. I wanted her slots for better fighter power.

If I stick my third Sakawa in my support fleet she'll do nuclear damage right
I can count on her right

>>16186754
No.

Pre-boss node all the crucial nodes are covered by support, all are going well.

Got 2 ships in yellow hp after the final pre-boss node.

Get AS in the boss node.

AND THIS FUCKING HAPPENED

NO ONE

NO FUCKING ONE

HAS ANY IDEA HOW MUCH AGONY I AM IN RIGHT NOW

>>16186767
You agonize yourself, you think you're special and you're the only one struggling with E4?

>>16186744

Hatsuzuki has a slot for goddess, and she is sparkled so AACI is triggered anyway.

>>16186767
>take heavy fleet
>go through an extra node
>less fuel and ammo at boss

>>16186754
That foot mount is retarded.

>>16186775

You have no idea how hopeful Iwas when the AS phrase pop up in my screen.

>>16186778

Tell me how exactly light fleet is gonna get me even AP in the boss node.

>>16186786
Do you not have 11 AA planes? You can even upgrade some Skilled 52s if you do not.

>>16186786
Bring a CAV and a CVL. Load the CAV with seaplane fighters and the CVL with fighters.That wasn't hard.

What do you think those clearing E-4 with a light fleet are doing? Pulling AP magically out of thin air?

>>16186767
>RJ
>Akagi
>Graf Zeppelin
>Hatsuzuki
Fleet not heavy enough.

>>16186786

>>16175400

Less blogging on these threads, more trying. Here's my clear for reference.

>>16186816
>Less blogging
But that's the whole point of Kancolle threads on /jp/ desu.

>>16186821

True. It's event season after all, I suppose.

>>16186786
>Tell me how exactly light fleet is gonna get me even AP in the boss node
Chichis with 4 fighters, they can even nuke shit with their 4 torpedo bombers, specially the planeless Ru node.

If you love your AA Maya, remember to give thanks to Saratoga, as she is the one who caused the upgrade in the first place.

Literally impossible to S rank

>>16186816

I am using your setup you fucking imbecile. And you yourself even pointed out how lucky you are.

>>16186809

Yea, I considered that, but how exactly are you going to kill the boss when your CVL can't attack and there is not enough yasen equipment?

>>16186835
Rude, now no one's going to help you. Good luck!

>>16186830
(^:

>>16186835
I suggest 4 BB 2 CV all sparkled to 85 if you want heavy fleet.

>>16186767

None of your ships in that fleet can kill the boss unless they pull a crit.

>>16186835
>having problems with e4
>using heavy fleet
>not getting lucky in 2016
>still didn't clear the event by now
>he doesn't comfortably lvling his DD's at E5M by now
You deserve everything bad that is happening to you.

>>16186830
You just need 5 ships with OASW attacks.

>>16186860
4 OASW ships + 1 fast BB gives 2 extra attacks.

>>16186835

>I am using your setup you fucking imbecile. And you yourself even pointed out how lucky you are.

Both of these things are true. But at least I didn't shit up a thread with a blog about how unfortunate I was up until I cleared it.

>>16186786

>Tell me how exactly light fleet is gonna get me even AP in the boss node.

https://my.mixtape.moe/lqkstz

>>16186859
I wish I had more OASW ships, someone is guaranteed to take damage.

>>16186865
With ammo penalties. But whatever floats your boat, I ain't the one having problems to S rank her.

>>16186858

The point of an AS is to crit down the boss.

>>16186878
>A-C-F-H-L
>ammo penalty
?

inb4 >north

>>16186878
Going north gives you the same amount of battles as going south.

>>16186881
>>16186883
w-Wait, the FBB don't send you to the south?

>>16186874
I am using only 3 OASW DDs because my autism don't let me take certain ships, but it doesn't make lvling less comfortable. Unless I get T-. Fuck T-.

>>16186872

Zuikaku is basically reppuu mule. Also are the stars helping in achieving AS?

>>16186865
The problem is that suddenly everybody does scratch damage, this is stupid. A crit is rare to land.

>>16186887
Only if you use two.

So I saw that the final boss was based on the mass of lifeforms on the Saratoga's bow, and I went to have a look.
Oh god what the fuck.

>>16186893
>Also are the stars helping in achieving AS?
Yes
53 Iwamoto max = 14 AA
Skilled 52 max = 11 AA

>>16186896
Are you getting red T at the boss every time or something?

>>16186900

Thanks. Did you sparkle your main fleet?

>>16186904
No, they just scratch SS Hime to taiha, sometimes they sink her, it's nowhere near as close to the past SS Hime encounters.

>>16186859
>comfortably lvling his DD's at E5M
I'm 100 runs in now and getting paranoid. I have to check their HPs 3 times at least before I sortie because what if one of them is taiha but I didn't see it because of the red morale icon when sending them out.

If you're sufficiently prepared and made a sacrifice to the RNG gods, you can do anything.

>>16186933
Don't you have worry about red morale ships missing the subs?

>>16186955
No, I have 5 OASW and they hit about 75% of the time.

Before I started E4 I used to believe my kanmusu were strong and beautiful girls who could do anything.

Now I understand they're weak and fragile bitches who are never more than one roll away from exploding

>>16186947
>4k fuel
We have a winner.

My fucking dick. Thank you Maya-sama.

>>16186947

The problem is not the resources. The problem is that I do not have time due to real life commitment in this fucking crucial week.

>>16187006
Should've finished last week then.

>>16186947
No buckets used. HOW?!

>>16187006

>>16187025
Probably chipped with subs or expendable ships.

>>16187025
You can still run expeditions you know.

>>16187035
>2 fleets running support exps
>1 fleet running exp 2 for an expected 5 buckets in 5 hours

Just got my first gumo on a daily construction quest. How lucky am I?

>>16187043
Enjoy your cute Kagerou

>>16187016

Last week was an even rougher week than this week.

>>16187026
If only I know, I would pick easy for E4. I am not backing down after I've done so much hard work. For E5 I would do Kuso mode though.

>>16187043

Goddamn, those are some BIG aircraft carriers.

Can't wait to get home after sparkling everyone at work to get wrecked and lose the sparkles without clearing the map!

>>16187025
Quests
Look at the time, dailies reset.

>>16186637
>There's a damage bonus associated with the first slot
First I've ever heard of this. Are you trying to ruse or is there proof somewhere?

I feel like the real reward of this event is E5M leveling. This shit is cozy as fuck.

This must be how Tanaka feels when he plays on their special, private server with morale turned off. Sortie after sortie ftw.

>>16187232
Stop posting this fucking picture, you autistic degenerate.

>>16187232
This is cute and all, but you don't have to post it every thread.

When do we get our own land-base girls?
I'm fine with LBAS, but I'd like it if they were personified like the Abyssal girls.

>>16187272
Next Abyssal boss is LBAS-tan. The only way to fight her is through LBAS land strikes.

Am I supposed to be getting final form on E5 2-3 kills in or is wiki wrong and the red DD comp is possible outside of final?

>>16187308
I got the final comp from the start and it didn't change until after I cleared it.

for debuffing e5 do I need to perfect the first air raid twice and the second air raid twice or can it be the first one 4 times?

>>16187308
>is wiki wrong
yes

>>16187314
>>16187344
Makes sense

>>16187106
True.
>>16187110
>>16187111
Honorable gumo, do not bully.

>>16187134
Why wouldn't it be?

Flagship protection xD

>>16187124
I don't get it.

>>16187384
The picture of Tone is tilted. It's retarded but one guy seems to think it's the most hilarious XD thing ever.

>>16187367
I really like the detail put in her eyes; the game CG i mean.

>>16187379
>Two CV

You're gonna have to do better than that.

>>16187379
Did you run out of carriers or something?

>>16186217
>>16186224
>>16187124
I hadn't started it yet. This can kick off the new collage if it's backed by popular demand, but did he sink anyone or have irreplaceable planes slide off her deck and break?

>>16187399
>>16187403
Should I use 3 CV + 1 FBB instead of 2 CV + 2FBB?

>>16187431
That's determination and confidence, not crazy.

>>16187417
I'm pretty sure some SEA monkeys were butthurt. They are always butthurt.

You wouldn't dare break Shigure's heart by being unfaithful, would you?

>>16187459
But I don't like Shiggy.

>>16187459
I broke her whole being instead.
Every day I take her out for practice and deny her resupply. Letting her get to taiha over and over again. She says it hurts. I laugh at her and say this pain is nothing compared to what Yamashiro felt saving a piece of shit like her.
It's funny to see how wide her eyes get before she breaks down into tears.

I'm going to marry Saratoga.

>>16187492

On one hand, Prinz refuses to aim for the boss and boss support keeps choking.

On the other hand, I got the one drop I actually wanted and my Kamikazes are complete for now.

Good job.

Yeah, they have the force of a thousand suns.

>>16187560
I got turned off once I built some cute hotels and realized the model for them was just an enlarged Kongo.

>>16187575
She spilled the cake mix she was preparing for the admiral.

Would you prefer the current fun Pola or a sober Pola Kai 2 that can solo a whole fleet?

>>16187582
I hope they will rework the naval warfare of the game.

>>16187582
You'll have to buy the ship model DLC :^)

>>16186156
I know this shit isn't new, but to one who had the brilliant idea of replacing the posting fleets on the wikia with an excel doc. FUCK YOU, I hope your anus get raped by a nigger.

>>16187606
Didn't they start doing that this event? That seems new enough.

>>16187598
Current Pola

>>16187598
Get a Pola who can do both.

>>16187614
But the smug.

>>16187598
>What Pola dreams of doing.
I would rather have a cruiser that actually had a decent combat record.

>>16187565
>>16187569
I'm going to clear on medium so I can at least get the f4f-3. I've gotten to P like 5 times now and maya refuses to cut in every time.

>>16187625
It wasn't a dream, it's just after a week without any alcohol.

>>16187625
>wanting to be a statsfag

>>16187631
You don't need to debuff on medium either.

>>16187609
I think it started with Warspite's event.

>>16187639
Oh I never noticed it, guess I only looked at nip streamer fleets during the summer event.

>>16187631
I did it on hard with no debuff and Prinz just one-shot the boss with 2x600 hits at night. Nagato was doing like 300x2 during the day when I was still using a slow fleet.

The only map this event that would've been worth debuffing was E4 and it didn't have one.

Cute!

Just out of curiousity how often did you all reach the E4 boss compared to your number of sorties? I feel like I don't see her in even 1 in 6 tries.

>>16187625
What Pola dreams of doing is swimming in a pool filled with Wine.

>>16187638
You don't need to debuff for anything.

>>16187725
She would drown if she tried, the alcohol would knock her out within minutes of contact and she'd be literally dead in the water.

>>16187712
27 total runs to clear on hard, 11 runs to reach last dance. 10 runs went to the boss. 5 of them were chipping and 5 of them were last dance. Light fleet with air parity, full sparkle with both supports.

God damn why couldn't Asakaze have been a map reward. I just want a granny loli.

>>16187740
A warrior's death

>>16187754
You don't have Kamikaze?

>>16187754
I got her without trying. But I need Harukaze. Hopefully the next one will be a reward.

>>16187759
Kamikaze isn't smug enough.

So how are we going to obtain this?

>>16187784
Next ranking reward.

>>16187784
I wouldn't be surprised if this is suppose to be a reward for Winter event, but it's probably through an unimplemented quest chain for after the event.

>>16187638
I went ahead and did it anyway. did you use nagato? battleship in escort or not?

>>16187800
Anytime Nagato aimed at BB Hime she almost killed her on her own so the final run was actually an unlucky one. No BB in escort, Bisko was too busy shooting from support.

>>16187794
Pls no.
>>16187798
That would make more sense.

How hard is E-4 med compared to hard?

>>16187843
Joke tier.

>>16187843
E4 medium is a walk in the park.

>>16187862
>>16187864
So the only reward for hard is a catapult and an arguably worse bomber? Who designed this shit?

>>16187872

>>16187872
Catapult will probably be essential in the future for Kaga Kai 2 or jets.

>>16187811
does that go KMNOPT? I always use maya and chokai on the last map but it looks like I might not need them this time.

>>16187864
only compared to hard. it still took me 27 sorties to finish the map, including 10 in a row where I didn't even get to the boss.

>>16187872
Don't forget about satisfaction when you finally beat that bitch. It felt so good.

>>16187882
>does that go KMNOPT?
Yes, really you shouldn't need to plan this out unless you're doing 甲.

>>16187548
You go for attack formation (bottom right) and not diamond. I know it sounds counter-intuitive not to use the one that's supposed to help with air defense but as soon as I switched to attack I started getting S ranks in those nodes.

>>16187880
>Kaga Kai 2.

>>16187880
Good thing they'll give us a quest for another catapult when that happens.

>>16187904
Catapult Kaga and Akagi would actually be within reason.

>>16187912
And what if they don't, what are you going to do now?

>>16187959
Use the other spare catapult.

>>16187913
I don't remember any plans for catapults for Akagi. I think I remember hearing that she was supposed to get a larger island.

What if they make the catapult for individual slots instead of the whole ship?

Pls, navy experts, explain the pagoda mast. Why so many observation decks? Height level doesn't change that much. Can't you just have one for "ground", one for very top and one in the middle, for some reason? Why it has to be so many(I counted seven here)?

>>16187968
You can always check the IJN records online, although they're in Japanese and have a lot of katakana. I found the record of the Kagerou-class changing name to Shiranui-class during the war there as well.

>>16187976
Because whoever designed Fusous was a retard.

>>16187976
It's called art.

>>16187974
It would be a nice way to balance the jet instead of just putting it on the largest slot and laugh, but I still believe it is for Ibuki and Shinano.

>>16187976
You can pack more searchlights etc on each level, and all in all it's more structurally sound to have a series of stacked levels than one tall tower.

>>16187976

>>16187976
The tallest point is for the ship's main gun rangefinders and directors. All other decks are for anything else like packing AA mounts, searchlights, and later RADAR. No other ships in the world had such a layout because the IJN was so afraid of false readings on RADAR that they would much rather rely on optical info.

>>16187880
>>16187904
>>16187913
Actually they're for upgrading Graf and Aquila's catapults.

>>16188025
Oh god I hope not.

>>16188025
They would too, fucking Tanaka

>>16188025
I'm okay with Graf but fuck Aquila unless they give her more planes.

>>16188025
>have neither of them. Even after this both are still Meh tier.

>>16188025
I'd like that as long as Aquila's "what if" remodel is "what if she was a real fleet carrier".

>>16187740
No amount of booze is too much for Pola.

>>16188037
You mean more armor and HP.

She is going to be the next Kai Ni, right?

>>16187913
By the way what kind of Catapult is the one Shoukaku and Zuikaku use? Hydraulic, steam, air compressed?

>>16188062
Magnetic

Do oldfags even bother doing 4-5? Seems like a waste of effort if you have enough blueprints.

>>16188064
Free screws, are you nuts? If you are, you can even farm more kai 4 radars.

>>16188064
Are you retarded?

>>16188025
I'm imagining a long, flowing cape and a duel disk.

>>16188064
4 screws is worth it.

>>16188063
That is a funny joke.

>>16187408
No, it was just very entertaining for some reason. I was one of the many anons who got a hearty laugh from that.

>>16188060
No.

>Kitakami stole Pudding's last kill
Damn this sloth did over 300 damage and no debuff. I will never doubt you again super KTKM.

Glad I got Sara but god dammit Sakawa never showed up yet her missing sisters did.

Oh and thank you to those who posted their comps with Nagato, she did phenomenally from chipping to final kill removing the mooks and damaging the jellyfish at times making for easy yasen kills. Only got sent back once from the sub node so it was worth it imo.

>sent back once
I wish I got that luck, got sent back 5 times throughout chipping, decided to use pre-emptive ASW girls to make it easier.

>>16188090
Meant to reply
>>16188085

>>16188090
He was doing medium.

>>16188095
I did hard and had the same kind of luck for E-5.

>>16188060
Yes.

>>16188060
Maybe.

I'm done with E5 and is going back to farm E2, what's a good LBAS setup for E2?

You need a range of 8 to reach the boss right?

>>16188144
Are you going to use subs? If yes, then all bombers. If no, then whatever you used when you were doing the map.

>>16188160
I'm asking because I don't remember what I was using for LBAS on E2.

I only wrote down my fleet comp.

>>16188164
This is why you take screenshots as soon as you clear.

>>16188164
Skilled 52/ 2 bomber/ 1 Taitei

I've been stuck at E4 last dance for days, and now, when my fleet had taken literally zero damage, I suddenly get sent from Q to U. LoS check? Haha, nope. It was random all along, huh?

>>16188176
Did you lose planes or did you not have enough LoS?

>>16188196
Saiun doesn't get shot down, right? I get some LoS from my torpedo bombers, so I guess all of those were shot down. I should have checked instead of instantly resupplying.

>>16188194
Sakawa is the ugliest siter.

>>16188194
Agano is the fattest.

>>16188194
Noshiro a cute.

>>16188234
You mean the softest.

>>16188194
Yahagi is the best sister.

>>16188194
Great bangs, all four of them.

Especially all together.

>>16188234
Which means she is the bestest.

>>16188260
>use up all subs trying cheese the stupid E3/E2 debuff
>find out about the E4 1SS 2DD routing for transport phase
>only SS left is a lvl 20 Maruyu on standby for feeding

OH BOY HERE WE GO

>>16188264
Maruyu makes an excellent meat shield since she doesn't go red til 1 hp.

Do I need to run both supports to chip E5?

>>16188288
Chipping only needs route support, but go all out on the final run. You do not want to fuck it up.

1 dec, and this people already farmed 1k ++ senka how is this possible ?

>>16188288
I found boss support utterly useless to be honest, and didn't find route support needed as the fighters did a good enough job with O node as that was the worst part.

But it depends on if you have all three nuclear girls and its only really necessary to go all out for final dance.

>>16188298
EOs and the points that carry over from the previous month.

>>16188288
Didn't use any support at all. Sending fighters to the aerial and Wo node was enough for me.

We have incoming

>>16188308

>>16188311

Is E-4-A or E-3-B supposed to be the powerlevelling node for new ships? I remember you guys were talking about something like that, please clarify.

Also last night I cleared E-3 by swapping Kiso for Choukai and putting in KTKM, but Beaver did in the boss, so KTKM didn't do anything, really. So yeah it was a real sniping roulette in the end anyway.

>>16188311
Kiso is not cool

>>16187553
Yes. Nations allied with you just steal your clay and fuck your borders up. There is no need to share the planet.

>>16188288
I didn't use either support for chipping (fast fleet to avoid sub node, Sakawa and Prinz only). LBAS fighters to O was good enough for me. I used boss support on last dance just to make sure I went to night battle with the main fleet but I probably didn't need to.

>>16188312
Her pose is pretty bad.

>>16188338
E5M, after unlocking the second start point it's easy and combined fleet (!) powerlevelling on a submarine node. You can S rank the node even at full fatigue with a whole combined fleet's worth of ASW, especially OASW.

>>16188308
>>16188311
>>16188312
Might buy Pola if the finished product is good enough.
Shigure should be on her way to me by now.

How does the exp farming work again?

Is there anything else I can do with this fleet? I could only get consistent AS on the boss node after swapping out the only bomber/fighter on Ryuujou for that 52C (601), but getting to the boss is nearly impossible let alone in a healthy enough state to kill it.

>>16188367
>getting AS

heh

>>16188367
Use heavy fleet.

For chipping E-4H, start out with a lighter fleet (was thinking 2DD 2CVL 1FBB 1 CL) or should I go whole hog with 4BB2CV?

Is 21 LOS enough to make the boss on E-4H?

>>16188375
Chip with subs if you want maximum efficiency.

>>16188366
>Transport combined fleet
>3-4 OASW ships
>can ignore morale and still hit more than half the time
>can yasen subs for free in case of red T

This is fun.

>>16188385
My subs were locked to E-2.

>>16188389
What map is this?

Isuzu or OhYodo/Melon?

>>16188431
Kinu

>>16188431
Isuzu with three drums.

>>16188422
E5M

>>16188431
Kinu or Abu with daihatsu.

E-5 A node S-rank hard. I wasn't even trying to rescue her; I just wanted to unlock the shortcut. Welp welcome to the fleet I guess

what the fuck I thought you just had to kill 4 ships.

>>16188431
Natori

>>16188431
Kinu with daihatsu, more TP than Isuzu with drums.

Last 2 Fast CVLs. Use in E4 or save for E5?

Akashi is the MVP for every event!

>>16188308
Gonna get Hatsuzuki and Iowa for sure, maybe Pola.

>>16188509
I'd love to see a boss with loads of hp but little to no armor so even Akashi can finish her off. Something like the Paper Oni from 5-2 but a lot more hp.

>>16188483
It's probably based on a percentage of health too

>>16187205
Dude it's been common knowledge since the month it came out. It's even on both wikis.

What's a good farming E-5 O node comp?

>>16188483
>>16188554
I think flag being undamaged is the problem.

>>16187598
Whichever has better stats.

So Iowa's fit are 35.6 protos?

>>16187864
This. You can even subcheese last kill.

Can you end the sortie at D after the perfect S rank for the node to count?

Reason why I ask is that I have done all the requirements to unlock the second starting section and it still doesn't appear.

>>16188176
Maybe you gained HQ level?

>>16188196
Plane count doesn't affect eLoS, even if the count is 0.

>>16188264
>he doesn't have dupe subs
Ahahahahahahaha

>>16188308
Tbh I'd rather buy more rings and screws.

I have a ton of 35.6cm stock, should I make 35.6 protos?

The joy of every month

Fuck this annoying DD.

>>16188653
At least her opening torp misses all the time.

Which are the best value Akashi upgrades?

What is Saratoga good for?

>>16188431
Ooyodo if she can OASW, otherwise Melon.

>>16188577
Doubtful. I remember going into yasen with undamaged flag before.

>>16188661
Stuff cheap to upgrade and that gives immediate benefits, so AP shells, main guns, Iwamoto.

>>16188661
Seaplane fighters, then carrier-based fighters. After that is up to the individual.

>>16188692
Upgrading Iwamoto gives more fighter power right?

How do you factor that into aircalc?

>>16188692
>Iwamoto
>cheap to upgrade
lel no

Anything that needs more than 1 screw doesn't count. Only shit like AP shells do.

>>16188683
Being as good as Kaga and Akagi. Plus being more attractive then either of them.

>>16188640
No, the britbong gun is the best small BB gun right now.

>>16188661
Ducky Guns, planes like the Skilled fighters, AP shells, maybe upgrade one or two 0 Observation planes to make dealing with LoS a non issue, seaplane fighters, some daihatsus/tanks, maybe one search light/super search light, and some main guns like the number 3s.

So this is... the power of French engineering

>>16188732
And wine for breakfast, lunch and dinner

>>16188732
Yes the power to make 3-5 easier...yay

waah my floor isn't loading~

>>16188733
I thought that was the pastas.

>>16188739
She's almost as bad as Pola

>>16188683
My heart and soul.

>>16188742
No she's not, Pola has wine 24/7 with the counter bar. Testes does not.

http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1942880
ATAGO LIKES BIG BLACK COCKS.

>>16188747
I think the author is implying she is Albino.

We meet again, 6-5.

If I follow this blindly will I be ok?
After E4, I don't want to plan anymore.

>>16188782
what is there to plan for you can beat the map with mutsukis and nakas LUL

>>16186612
Stalwart protectors of the fleet!

>>16188806

Where do faeries come from?

I feel like my feet are always in six feet under every time I sortie to 6-5. The fucking air node is cancer.

Favorite new fairy?

>>16188794
This
E5 is so easy compared to E3 & E4

>>16188833
Blonde Hiei is shit.

>>16188833

>>16188833
F4F-4 > Late > F4F-3 > the Mizuho one on the event banner > the rest

Today's her birthday: say something nice about her.

>>16188853
Speaking of banners, where's my apology banner?

>>16188833

>>16188782
Why do I need to go back do A after unlocking the shortcut? I thought the nodes to beat for the boss debuff were F and P?

>>16188863
I'm still sad Fujikawa didn't draw a Prinz Eugen fairy for it.

>>16188846
Both the SB2U and TBD fairies sort of resemble Saratoga.

>>16188864
If you need Asakaze or Sakawa.

>>16188857
Third sister I'd fuck.

>>16188857
Whenever she says mic check, I pretend she's saying it to my dick and get hard.

>>16188782
>suijou for unlocking 2nd starting point
Dropped hard.

>>16188866
Both F4F fairies are tomboys. If we do end up getting another american carrier, I wonder if she will be a tomboy.

How do you get a Zero 32 (Skilled)? A quest?
