KanColle Arcade's second event has been announced for this spring, with Southern Oni and Southern War Oni as the bosses, and Armored Carrier Oni also encounterable.

The KanColle movie is out. Movie trailers: https://youtu.be/7udGu_a0AvY https://youtu.be/Puj4vB_Kh2E https://youtu.be/aTxaSuB_Fv8

Debuffs exist for the E3 HP gauge boss, and for both E5 bosses. Debuffing the bosses lowers their armour, making them easier to kill. How to debuff (current speculation):
-To debuff the E3 HP gauge boss, acquire in E3 S ranks in nodes K, P, Q, R and V once each.
-To debuff the E5 bosses, acquire in E5 perfect S ranks in air raid node C once, S ranks in nodes D and E once each, and AS+ against an air raid once.

WARNING: Debuffs will reset if switching from any other difficulty to Kou (hard). Debuffs will not reset otherwise.

News:
-The Spring 2017 event "Sortie! Northeast Area 5th Fleet", with 5 maps over 2 operations, has started. It will end on May 22, after which Nagato will get Kai 2.
-Kamoi, Kasuga Maru/Taiyou, Shimushu, Kunashiri, Etorofu and Gangut/Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya are the six ships added for the event. The Hayabusa series of interceptors has also been added as event map rewards; with Model IIIA 54th Squadron being rewarded for Otsu (medium) and Kou (hard) difficulty, with the latter also rewarding Bomb Carrying Model III Kai 55th Squadron (an interceptor-bomber) and Model II 64th Squadron.
-Anniversary seasonal lines (but not sprites) have been removed.
-The bug with bonus firepower from improvements to secondary armament guns (15.2cm single gun, 90mm single high-angle gun, OTO 152mm triple gun) has been fixed.
-A Kai 2 is planned for Kumano and Yura this early summer. Saratoga and at least one more BB and CL will also get a second remodel.
-The 5th year of KanColle will see something "interesting" regarding foreign ships.
-New Akizuki- and Matsu-class destroyers are under plans to be added.

this event is fucking ridiculous. over 90% of my retreats have been because of carrier crits or closing torpedo.

Thanks. I cleared it once I changed the setup.

Abukuma cleared the last meatshield, Verniy took a hit for the team (she had search light on her), Kasumi cut-in and did a whooping 300 damage to the boss. Nachi and Kiso chipped in, finally KTKM-sama cut-in and finished the boss.

Got 9 new ships + 4th Akashi from this event. The only new ship I missed is Shimushu. I don't plan to farm her.

Total spending:
Fuel: 134k
Ammo: 72k
Steel: 64k
Bauxite: 64k
Bucket: 385

I wasted 42k fuel to farm Roma.

Overall the I feel that the difficulty is:

E5>E2>E4>E3>E1

He's not a poser. I know Melonpan closely. He does the things he does because he wants to make others happy by entertaining them and showing you can be happy even if others think you're a weirdo and don't belong in society. He always was like this since he was a child. At first it was because he was very confused and lonely but his original style earned him good friends and now he dedicates himself to his hobby and the convenience of others at the same time.

Use Kaga in E-2 HP phase for Reppu mulling. Zuikaku has lesser planes.
Switch Mogami to Tone/Suzuya. E-3 is that easy, and Tone/Suzuya packs more punch in E-4 in case you get stuck.
Abukuma (if luck modded) should be on position 5/6 so that she can focus to take down the boss easily.

So this is what will happen in the future regarding the designation of the Kaiboukan.

- Enwiki and wikia staff will gather together and make a poll among thenselves
- Get a chosen designation (most probably EE or KB).
- Do a crackdown and change all designations to the one they decided a chosen day.
- Pressure other people like streamers, guide creators, the viewers developers (Poi, KCV, KC3 and EO) to change their programs to use their designation.
- Hope that all the sheeps will fall in line with the new designation they created. Ignore everyone with complains.

Neither of those refer to anything in KanColle. Googling thropy provides little more than a site confirming thropy isn't a valid word in scrabble.

It'll gimp you along the way but it'll be stronger at the boss. Drop the T97 Tomo; the others can stay.

That said you need to make sure the dive bombers need to be in a large slot lest they get shot down. Might move Taihou's dive bomber to the large slot, for example.

I could set Kasumi to be AACI, but I have no holes to drill on her and give her BOFORs. Or I could set Hatsuzuki to carry one gun+radar and the Searchlight to increase chances she gets nuked during night battle instead of Nachi\the others.

Seeing as I had to limit only one CAV (while everyone at the time recommended two, and I hadn't thought of an AV) I thought it was best to do it on medium. And didn't feel that I had the ressources to do the whole thing again, hoping the step up wasn't massive.

No way you have enough airpower with only 3 fighters. 6 or 7 should be good, learn to use http://kancollecalc.web.fc2.com/air_supremacy.html
Ro.44 is a seaplane fighter so it doesn't enable artillery spotting and Fusou will only do single attacks.
All BBs should be using 2 main guns, plane, AP shell. If you don't have enough AP shells, craft them.
Use better BBs than Fusou or Ise, you have more than enough resources and you're already using fucking Musashi.
Replace the Kongous in the escort fleet with Kiso/Kitakami/Ooi/Nachi.

Remind me why DE is a good choice for the Kaiboukan.

- The new ships can not effectively replace DDs in most of the expedition and map branching rules.

- The WW2 Kaiboukans were built with the the intention of settling fishing disputes with the USSR instead of being a full fledged warship.

- As such, these Kaiboukans lacked the armament to be as effective in combat as standard Destroyers. They also lacked torpedo capabilities, in which the IJN does not consider ships without torpedo capabilities as Destroyers.

- The USN DE are subjected to the London Naval Treaty specifications; having a displacement over 2000 tons, any gun above 155cm in caliber, more than 4 guns above 76mm in caliber, the ability to launch torpedoes and a speed of 20 knots. The IJN WW2 Kaiboukans are generally under 2000 tons in displacement and they lack torpedo capabilities, which means they do not fit into the above DE specifications.

- The in-game shipcards says "Escort", not any other class/designation. "Escort" is not the same as "Destroyer Escort".

- The NHHC has advised that the new ships introduced this events are Escorts. They have also provide this as a [reading source](http://www.combinedfleet.com/Kaibokan.htm))

- In the above points, we have specifically used the term "WW2 Kaiboukans" because between 1898 to 1931, the Japanese definition of Kaiboukans are simply as follows: Class 1, over 7000 tons; Class 2, 3500-7500 tons; Class 3; under 3500 tons. Only from 1942 onward, the Japanese changed their definition of Kaiboukans to become "small ships with anti-submarine capabilities" (although the old definition was scrapped entirely in 1931). This is a point of concern as we are seeing the devs starting to introduce WW1 ships like Warspite and Gangut, and this trend is likely to continue. If the devs ever introduce the old Kaiboukans, it would no way fit into the description of a Destroyer, let alone a Destroyer Escort.

- Supporting DE is the same as supporting CVB. It's not historically accurate and it will bring problems to the future when other escort ships appear in this game and they are definetly not DE but escorts.

One of the things DE stood for was plain "Escort." (The others included the obvious destroyer escort, and ocean escort) http://www.navweaps.com/index_tech/index_ships_list.php

The term "destroyer escort" also has the advantage of being self-explanatory to anyone who doesn't know any history or Japanese.

>>17019001
DE's do not effectively replace DD's. That's why they're not called DDE's.

WW2 Kaibokans were built with this intent:
>By 1943, increasing losses of merchant shipping caused the IJN to reorder its priorities. Beginning in January 1944 over 30 modified Type B's, known as the UKURU-class, were laid down. The heavy toll exacted by American submarines on the Combined Fleet's East Indies oil supply further caused the IJN to lose some of its hubris, so in 1943 it was decided to design a simplified version of the Type B.
>http://www.combinedfleet.com/Kaibokan.htm

DE's lack the armament of standard destroyers. I'm sure you'll reject wikipedia as a source, but I'm quoting it to specify the claim:
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destroyer_escort
>A destroyer escort needed only to be able to maneuver relative to a slow convoy (which in World War II would travel at 10 to 12 knots (19 to 22 km/h)), and be able to defend against aircraft and detect, pursue and attack submarines.
Now for examples: USS Evarts DE-5 had 3 × 3 in (76 mm)/50 cal dual purpose guns (3×1). A Fletcher class destroyer had 5 × single 5 inch (127 mm)/38 caliber guns.

USS Evarts DE-5 had a displacement of between 1140 long tons standard and 1450 t full load. You did not post DE specifications. You posted incorerent nonsense, since a 155cm gun is more than three times larger than Yamato's main guns. You said 155, not 15.5, and besides, 15.5 is cruiser territory anyway.

Escort is the same as DE according to the link I posted above. The NHHC is correct in calling them Escorts, as is combinedfleet.com. This is irrelevant because we were never debating about whether they're escorts; we're debating about how to abbreviate Escort.

WWI kaiboukans obviously wouldn't have the same mechanics and routing as Shimushu-class ships in KanColle. That means they'd need a different abbreviation anyway. If you're trying to say you want to shoehorn a 7000 ton WWI ship into EE or KB, that's retarded and it has no business being put in the same category as my cute little Kuna.

>CVB
Fuck off, you shits are the same people who pushed CVB and you're pushing your special snowflake alternatives now for the same reasons you pushed CVB bullshit. You want to get attention and go on power trips by making up bullshit terms and starting fights over them. DE is historically accurate and fits potential future escorts to the point where even PF shitters using their wartime intelligence document's estimates admitted the later classes were DE's. "Escort" is what DE referred to. The list of garbage talking about DD's and 155cm guns I just replied to only proves how this sudden anti-DE crusade is the work of trolls.

>WW2 Kaibokans were built with this intent:
>By 1943, increasing losses of merchant shipping caused the IJN to reorder its priorities. Beginning in January 1944 over 30 modified Type B's, known as the UKURU-class, were laid down. The heavy toll exacted by American submarines on the Combined Fleet's East Indies oil supply further caused the IJN to lose some of its hubris, so in 1943 it was decided to design a simplified version of the Type B.
>http://www.combinedfleet.com/Kaibokan.htm

The Shimushu is built in 1939 and was never intended to be escorts. They were meant to be used to settle fishing disputes. The case you described happened in 1943, you dare to argue that they knew in 1939 that they would have to use them as fleet escorts, they're no fucking prophets.

>USS Evarts DE-5 had 3 × 3 in (76 mm)/50 cal dual purpose guns (3×1). A Fletcher class destroyer had 5 × single 5 inch (127 mm)/38 caliber guns.

Out of the 5 USN DEs, Evart-class is the only one who has no torpedo capabilities, but they can be outfitted with one perfectly fine, they're successor of the Buckley-class after all. Meanwhile, NONE of the Kaiboukan that is listed have torpedo capabilities.

>USS Evarts DE-5 had a displacement of between 1140 long tons standard and 1450 t full load. You did not post DE specifications. You posted incorerent nonsense, since a 155cm gun is more than three times larger than Yamato's main guns. You said 155, not 15.5, and besides, 15.5 is cruiser territory anyway.

Whether the 155cm was a typo or not is irrelevant, common sense tells us that its either 155mm or 15.5cm. Also, the Evart class can go faster than 20 knots, thats undeniable.

IMO calling those ships Destroyer Escorts makes a bit more sense in game as those ships are labelled "Escort" and nobody ever argues with what the card text displays, if Tanaka wanted those to be called Patrol Frigates, the card text would have displayed "Frigate". DE is also more future proof when non-japanese escort ships and actual Destroyer Escorts arrive, since those will most likely be also labeled "Escort" as well. Hypothetically, of course, but Tanaka would have to be stupid to add yet another escort designation when all of them are expedition fodder anyway.

Here's the source you wanted badly, Article 8:

Which states: 3) are designed or fitted to launch torpedoes. As the Evart-class are designed to be fitted with torpedoes, but never was done so anyway, they are DE. Meanwhile, none of the Kaiboukans are designed to be fitted with torpedoes.

At 4) ares designed for a speed greater than twenty knots. The Shimushu barely hits 19.7 knots. The Evart-class however, can easily achieve up to 22 knots.

All you've shown is that the London Naval Treaty doesn't restrict the number of non-torpedo-bearing DE's Japan can build.

>Of course its cruiser theory, but who gives a fucking shit? We're talking about the London Naval Treaty here.
The treaty's article 15 states vessels with a gun above 5.1 inch (130 mm.) calibre are cruisers, so you give a fucking shit, asshole. If the Shimushu class had 155mm guns, the treaty would classify them as cruisers.

Article 15 defines destroyers as surface vessels of war the standard displacement of which does not exceed 1850 tons, and with a gun not above 5.1-inch. Even if you want to argue that destroyer escorts are destroyers, the treaty sets no minimums for the term destroyer, so it's compatible with calling them destroyer escorts.

>Now we're basically doing the fucking same thing by telling the other majority to go fuck themselves, forcing DE upon them.

It proves everything, because the fact its not restricted, means that it is in no way a DE. It does not prove its a PF either, but it definitely proves that is in no fucking way a DE.

Yeah, fuck you too. As stated, the 155mm is part of the Article 8 London Naval Treaty. It's not relevant in our discussion, but the fact remains that it is a criteria. By saying that DE are not Destroyers, you're essentially saying that the Matsu-class are not destroyers, dipshit.

You haven't found any clause in the treaty that refers to DE's. The treaty has nothing to do with ships that fall below the requirements for being restricted in numbers and it doesn't define DE's. You've been proven wrong by the treaty.

So you're claiming the Matsus are DE's. On what basis are you saying they're DE's? The Japanese referred to them as Type-D Destroyer (丁型駆逐艦 Tei-gata kuchikukan), not kaibokan.

Did you even listened to what I said? The fact that DEs are restricted by the treaty, while the Kaiboukan does not match the description to be restricted by it, it pretty much proves that the Kaiboukan and DE cannot be put in the same category.

>A criteria for what? The treaty says it's a criteria for being a cruiser and for having numbers restricted.
It is rather pointless to argue with you on this point, because 15.5cm has nothing to do with destroyers anyway.

>So you're claiming the Matsus are DE's. On what basis are you saying they're DE's? The Japanese referred to them as Type-D Destroyer (丁型駆逐艦 Tei-gata kuchikukan), not kaibokan.
I never directly stated that they're Kaiboukan. You are trying to claim that DE are not destroyers. The Matsu-class were officially treated as DD by the IJN, but the other navies beg to differ, due to the armament she has used.
>http://pwencycl.kgbudge.com/M/a/Matsu_class.htm
>http://archive.hnsa.org/doc/id/oni222j-japan-navy/tail018.htm

Note that even the ONI has classified the Matsu as DE. Keep in mind that the document was in 1945, DDE was only used to refer post-war DDs that were refitted to carry ASW duties instead.

As I said, by saying that DE are not destroyers, you're basically saying that the Matsu-class being treated as DE was wrong, but thats something you can fight it out yourself.

>You haven't provided any arguments other than claiming Matsus are DE's, and you're having a breakdown because the London Naval Treaty disagreed with you.

If referring to a source is "the other says so" then of course I'm using sources instead of just making stuff up. I linked a site that says DE includes "Escort."

>PF is the wrong term. There was only ever one Patrol Frigate class and it was not like a Kaiboukan. The Kaiboukan were closer to corvettes or gunboats or very small frigates.

That is only half of the point. So what other abbv should you use then? The wikia-tards want to keep using PF which is why they are attacking DE's usage. And it is an easy way to do it without putting the usage of PF under scrutiny.

Get rid of that right fucking now, give her another radar, plane, anything as long as it's not another gun or torpedo. That's a secondary gun cut-in setup and those are awful.

Get familiar with equipments setups for both day and night like double attacks, torpedo cut-ins, and artillery spotting cut-ins. You need to choose equipment based on which attack type you're aiming for, and night battle uses either torpedo cut-ins like Yukikaze, or double attacks like Haguro.

20k fuel, 20k ammo, 4k baux and the full gauge of E-5 second phase. Im thinking STF until last dance, or should I only stockpile and CTF for chipping as well? Im really scared Ill spend 5 days farming baux only to have it dissapear because of unlucky runs. And is LBAS even worth it for chipping if my planes are shit?
