Yeah, I think I'll just look for her instead of trying crafting her using LSC

subs added to 1-4 if you need the quest

[Anonymous No.]

I didn't expect to see her in E-3

[Anonymous No.]

Much easier than E-2 boss battle.

Bit more difficult to get there though.

What are the odds we'll find I-8 in E-3?

[Anonymous No.]

E-2 composition help? I'm getting buttblasted

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735738
Yeah, if you can clear the pre node with Maya and make it to boss (not get sent off course) you really can nab the kill easily. The CLs aren't an issue if you take a sub, and night battling will almost get you the win.

What a load of bullshit.
That mist ship on the first node of E-2 never fails to use it's laser thing.

Maybe I should get her a plate from the dinner table this evening.

Even though that one was more recently updated.

That one is actually has newer code from the original Jap dev.

Resha's ones kind of old because he has been busy.

I figured I'd blow up all my resources with 6000/4000/6000/3000 100 after getting I-401.

Thanks Isuzu, it's the sixth time already.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735787
So not only did you not get Yamato but you got Mikuma which can be farmed from E3?
Seems like LSC is a scam.

[Anonymous No.]

Wow. A fleet with 1 BB and 5 anti-sub ships can't sink a lone level 2 Iona.

[Anonymous No.]

So it's a good idea to use the collaboration ships as modernization fodder before the event ends?

Your fleet will probably return without them and you'll fail.

>>11735741

Just cleared E-3. Never got blown off course although the endless Carnival forced me back few times.

It might be worth farming E-3 later, the boss node has quite a few holo drops from what I see.

[Anonymous No.]

Okay, the Takao sortie quest(200/200/0/0):
I cleared E-1 twice, but no %50 mark appeared.

Anyone knows what is going on?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735826
Nice, I'm almost done myself. Got sent through the transport ships several times but never hit the item node (4 runs so far). Drops haven't been good at all, though, but the pool sounds good. Seems good to farm.

already wasted 6k fuel without even clearing E-2 once...this fucking game

Out of curiosity are you only turning back when your ships are in red or in orange?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735840
After clearing E1, no Takao.
One kill wasn't S rank, but there was no record so I got worried.

It shows the %50 mark now, after 2S and an A rank.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735856
At least she looks better than regular Naka.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735861
I go for it on orange. Never even got into night battle without going into red. I put up repairs but reds can't do shit in night battle anyway so I can't kill them. Takao, 2CV2BB, Iona

[Anonymous No.]

wikiwiki said g node in E2 can drop Nagato
This is your chance now.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735864
It also shows me 50% mark after 2xS victories at the 1-1 area map.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735872
>>11735864
So it's pretty much 4 S-rank on boss nodes?

[Anonymous No.]

Here we go

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735873
Enjoy your wagahai

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735874
I haven't done any more E-1 runs after clearing it, so I am sure that you only need to win(with S rank?) a boss node.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735870

That sucks, I was going to recommend that you go for it in orange if you weren't already.

Maybe you should try swapping out 1 or 2 of the CVs for CLTs just to switch it up. I ran Takao, 2 BB, and 3 CLTs and I made it to nigh battle everytime.

At the very least, it would cost a lot less to sortie.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735870
Did you modernize your fog ships? They pretty much duo all of E2, I just put any random high level fillers, bb/cv/clt/dd

[Anonymous No.]

Looks like five subs is also the best way to clear E-2.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735876
Also, have the quest marks started rounding up the percentage?
After another S rank victory it shows 80% mark.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735873
wow many thanks Junyo

Why don't you kids like the shibafu?

Zuihou from first E2 node. Could farm there if you really want to.

Got a Yuugumo, at least.

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735914
Please, we have 150 images max. We don't need more timer pictures.

[Anonymous No.]

There is no point farming 5-2 or 5-3 with these event maps. What a nice xmas gift by the devs.
Seems like pretty much everyone will complete their first 3page of the library with these maps.

[Anonymous No.]

Can your ship sink in night battle if it only got hit into red during the day battle part?

[Anonymous No.]

Iona's naked max torpedo stat is 129, plus that firepower means she's pretty unstoppable in night battle.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735920

[Anonymous No.]

There are actually people not doing it with full subs fleet?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735938

I found out too late. Wasted a bunch of resources doing it with my original fleet.

I though they also attack subs like they did in the manga/anime.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735938
Because not everyone is successful at previous event. Now please stop taunting us who are less capable playing this game

[Anonymous No.]

From what I've seen only the mental model ships (and fake mental model Maya) have lasers.

Nope, normal mist light cruiser have lasers as well. Pretty rare I guess.

It looks like she is wearing a sukumizu under that weird little shirt.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735960
Why are they making Shibafu design a submarine in the first place?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735967
because shobon put a dick on Goya.

Dammnit, only have 4 subs and Haruna is always the one that survives.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735973
Still cheaper and less frustrating than running a full fleet.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735973
Put the cut-in sub for both the last slot.
Iona and Goya almost always perform cutin

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735970
I don't see the problem.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735976
Yeah decided to that, just waiting for repairs to finish to see if it works.

[Anonymous No.]

Anyone found out how to craft the helis? I've spent around 4k resources while crafting on CVL's and CV's and didn't get shit.

[Anonymous No.]

Fucking 3-4, Iona went from level 11 to 29 just from doing it and I still haven't beat it.

[Anonymous No.]

They changed how quests are counted or something?
I noticed my subs daily comes with 50% completion right when I unlock it. (Killed 3 subs for Iona earlier)

[Anonymous No.]

Just fed that ugly ass penguin from large ship crafting to my Musashi. Confirmed for +luck stat gains.

[Anonymous No.]

What's going to happen when Iona is the only ship in my first fleet and she is removed from the game?
Maybe I'll get to keep her, right?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735992
You'd abandon all of your current Kanmusu to have a slim chance at keeping Iona? As adorable as her kyusoku senko~ is, that's just crazy talk.

Seems like 5subs is 100% boss. It is always ADEG
4/4 so far for E2.

Wow, it's nothing. I rather keep her for expeditions even if her remodel ends up being still shit.

[Anonymous No.]

GUYS I JUST WANT TO DO MY PVP QUESTS GUYS THAT IONA IS DRIVING ME NUTS

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735995
I meant the only ship in my first fleet, not giving up all ships. I could never do that to all my loyal and cute destroyers for example.

[Anonymous No.]

Wow, way to ruin a fucking christmas, fucking gooks. Couldn't they hire good artists for once? Are they all fucking blind? Even I-401's shittiness pales in comparison to the other new ships (except for Taihou). They look absolutely horrible. It's below even dA tier. It's like they did a collaboration with an elementary school. This is a fucking disaster.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11735999
It is.

What I want to know is if 5 subs can clear E-3 too. I would try it myself but I have to wait for pvp to roll over.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11736004
Definitely.
I already saw a screenshot of it from futaba.
I gotta wait for another 8hours to attempt E3.
I dont know how I am going to get 4wins against Iona, Takao and Haruna. Any tips?

I assume you probably can, unless Kongou is the only Fog ship that can hit subs or E-3 is littered with ASW ships.

I don't have I-8 and didn't manage a kill from 3 runs in E-1, so I switched to my usual fleet for the next 4 runs.
I don't think I'll even try a submarine run for E-2/3.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11736016
Sucks to be you but with how many resources we dumped into getting Hachi I guess this is a great way to pay us back.

Goya drops like candy in E-2.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11736022
Submarines also dropped like 'candy' in E-5 last event, but after 200 runs I didn't get a single one.

[Anonymous No.]

Has anyone had any luck doing it E2 with 4 subs? Tried a bunch of times and haven't got a boss kill with it yet ;_;

[Anonymous No.]

>>11736019
No sympathy for you. You can easily farm Goya at the current E-2 map or even 5-2.
Hachi is not available at all for people that started late.

This is a walk in a park compare to E4 and E5.
This is like doing the last event E1. Even the previous E2 map is harder.

Fog ships can oneshot just about anyone.

The thing is that if you're doing things right, they either get only one attack or can't even hit your wolf pack.

Woah, it comes at 80%. Nice gift by the devs to include your previous PVP win even without you getting the quest.

Taihou seems to have really good stats after her remodel, she gets the highest firepower, armor and AA stats among the carriers and a solid plane count in addition to her ability to launch at orange.

Pretty good in my opinion.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11736042
For the amount of resources she costs, you'd expect her to be good.

Still, it's just ~20k and I will probably spend five times as much over LSC, so I guess that's okay.

>>11736075
Nah, I already used ~10k in dropping E1 and E2, might as well go all the way in. It's a good excuse to use the remaining resources on LSC and let the natural regeneration kick in. There's still some time until the Midway event.

[Anonymous No.]

Dunno, try Haruna, Takao, Iona, +3 something? My guess is either torpedo monsters for preemptive torpedo + god mode at night, or carriers for more preemptive damage + decent dmg during the shelling phase. Downside to carriers though is that they're useless at night. I guess you could just try 3 BBs and just brute force it, but having them get crit to red with gravity cannons over and over may drive yo insane.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11736197

I brute forced E-2 and E-3 without using Iona.

For E-2 I used Takao, 2 Kongou Sisters, and the 3 CLTs. Cleared it in 4 runs, never had to retreat.

For E-3, I substituted Fog Haruna for one of the Kongous. Kept Takao and 3 CLTs. Again, effective if not cost-efficient. Had to retreat twice out of seven run but otherwise smooth sailing.

>>11736191
Basically >>11736197, but no Haruna if you are doing E-2.
I just cleared it with Takao, Iona, Ooi, KTKM, Kaga and Akagi.
I might replace Akagi with Kongo, just because she is level 96 and can be used in night battles.

I just ran it with 6 subs after having cleared it. The problem is i401 is weak as shit so she is basically useless, even in a night battle. Maybe once I can remodel her she can actually perform cut-ins.

The other subs though are monsters, but like the other anon said you pretty much need cut-ins to kill Kongou. Otherwise she just laughs off the normal attacks. I cleared it with Haruna/Takao/Iona + 3 lvl 94+ subs. If you can get to night battle with Haruna and Takao better than red (and have them equipped for double attack) then they can 1-shot Kongou.

It works but it is not too hot.
You are always send to NE and you have to fight 2node with ring formation so those shits can wreck your subs hard. Sparkling them and going with double line will get you to boss relatively healthy. You need Iona as your flagship or maybe the compass is random. I got sent to the steel node when I have Hachi as my flagship. Once you are the boss you need to get lucky with T-cross if not sinking Kongou will be hard.

I decided to brute force it with Haruna, Takao, Iona + 3. You get sent to the boss in a straight line. You can easily perfect S every nodes if Haruna open with her laser beam. It fucking cost a lot but you save time.

Looks like someone added tips for E-2.
Am I the only one who thinks those aren't good tips?
1. I cleared E-2 with a plan to kill everything that would waste firepower at the start of the battle so 2 CVs were a must have.
2. North paths node has 2xBBs, that can actually deal damage, but South path only(except for Maya) has small-fry that evaporate before the battle even begins or Fog ships which only attack Iona.
3. I guess it makes sense to play defensive to get to the night battle, if those small-fry next to Haruna and Kirishima are actually moving, but targeting Haruna becomes a lot harder, so this one just seems to make this map at last event E-2 difficulty level.

Does Maya from South path trigger laser cannon attack? I fought her twice but maybe I was just lucky.

Outside of wasting resources, they are all straight forward map. Laser has terrible accuracy and doesnt hit anyone to red in 1shot even when I use vertical formation. So you can always make it to boss without anyone going to red.

cleared e2 with the following after 4 sorties, average level 50ish:

2 Mist
KTKM
Ooi
Haruna
Kaga

stacking preemptive attacks was key, I killed the enemy mist ships several times in the pre-combat phase. I got lasered often in the boss node but it only took 2-3 ships to orange/red and I was able to finish the boss off at night. it was close though.

Im doing great with 4subs, the only problem is that cut ins always target that one ship that was still alive from day batle or Kirishima, never Haruna.

Probably from doing the Iona sub killing quest. I'm pretty sure kill counting quests stack the same way expedition quests do; once you do the daily 3 you only need to do 7 more for the daily 10. My 6 expedition event quest started at 80% because I had already done my dailies and then some.

That's not how things worked before the update.

I've noticed this as well, quest completion status now progresses regardless of whether the quest is active. I can't say I'm a fan, because this completely eliminates the need for quest management and the need to make them active in the first place.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11737040
I don't think it's a matter of tracking completion without the quest being active, but rather kill counting quests sharing the same counter. When the Iona quest is activated you start tracking sub kills; when you get to your sub daily it looks at the same sub kills counter and sees you've already made some progress.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11737053
that's not how things should be coded, but well, it's not impossible.

At this point I'm convinced that the only purpose of Kancolle is to make you angry. You're not supposed to enjoy it, you're not supposed to have fun.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11737053
The thing is, I killed 2 out of 3 subs on 4-1-B for the Iona quest, and a full 5 sub node for the daily, and unless it's counting subs killed in practice matches, it's not even close to the 80% displayed on the weekly quest.

Since E2 and E3 are cleared very rapidly, you either get forced to return a couple of times and gain the impression that Maya is a monster, or you breeze through the map and think that she's a pushover. If this event had regenerating gauges and required ten-hour onslaughts, people would probably have a more uniform opinion.

That said, the difficulty (or lack thereof) of this event makes me nervous. More than an independent event, it seems like a testing ground for new and exciting forms of suffering, and I'm pretty sure this isn't the last we've seen of these screen-sweeping lasers. I won't be surprised if the spring event exceeds every worst case scenario, especially since that nightmare of a fall event was what the developers considered to be a mere "increase in difficulty". The spring event, in contrast, is more of a "be prepared, we're going all out" sort of affair, and we can only guess what sort of tricks they have up their sleeves.

What's going to be more fun is that the majority of the player base is going to use up a substantial portion of their resource reserves on LSC, which will give them less to work with for the event.

Actually, I'm having lots of fun thanks to this event. Maybe it's just fairly new player's perspective who doesn't have much resources, but every time I return to base with my Nagato, Arpeggio-Takao and Akagi critted to red, I'm having fun. Whenever this AoE laser triggers, I'm thrilled. These costs kinda hurt, but it's nothing I can't have back quickly. I wish I dropped subs, though.

Seasoned players probably compare this event to their E4/E5 experience, conclude that the current event is trivial and that they should be able to clear it within a day, and promptly get their faces melted by E2 lasers. This obviously is infuriating.

Beginning admirals don't have that sort of experience, and the event is easy enough that they have a shot at success, and yet challenging enough that they have to work for it, so they find it much more fun than the veterans do.

Call me stupid but it was more fun just to brute force it. I tried running with five subs but it was less efficient at killing and more frustrating, whereas even when I caught bad crits with my main fleet it was still fun laying waste to everything in sight. I'm kind of disappointed that it's already over and with LSC I don't think I can spare resources to farm it. Plus there was some risky shit I pulled which made things tense and enjoyable in a way that I haven't felt since the fall event. All the mindless grind in between comes with the payoff that you don't have to give a fuck about min/maxing gains for a few weeks and can just go all out. That's why all the cheap moves they throw at you are still fun when you finally triumph over the boss. I've got no resentment for last E-4 and 5.

[Anonymous No.]

Here's another one of those quest tracking oddities we were talking about earlier. 80% completion toward the sink a flagship daily, which is nonsense, and I think it comes from the fact that I have event's defeat four bosses quest active. Picked it up while doing some a 1-1 sparkle sortie.

I'll have to agree with this. I was relatively new during the last event and these two maps certainly required countless hours of blood, sweat and tears even from the veteran admirals, but pushing through everything that the developers could throw at the players and still coming out triumphant is exhilarating. When you get your ship reward, you really feel that you and your fleet earned it.

I look forward to experiencing the same during Midway, though Shinano (or whomever the big prize will be) will probably be out of my reach.

That's exactly the reason why I hated E-4/5. It didn't feel that way at all, especially when I droppd Zuikaku on my first E-3 clear. Then I got no lucky drops and only managed to clear both maps with the difficulties they came with. But honestly, it didn't feel like my work counted at all. That feeling was missing the entire time I was clearing those maps, especially on the final clears.
If my hard work had been rewarded in some way, shape or form then I would have gotten Yahagi. 200 E-5 A/S clears should be enough for a ship. But no, I just had bad luck outside of Zuikaku. But none of this felt like my hard work had paid of, I was just lucky in one thing and unlucky in another.

Personally I'm hoping that they put some multiplier on damage taken by carriers to give the same amount of pain that was suffered when they were sunk.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11737882

I think that's correct.

I've been proceeding at orange, and going to night battles with red ships but I did two things during the event to mitigate risk. I put Damcons on the Kongous, and I also made sure that my double attack monsters were healthy enough to preemptively take out Haruna/Kirishima/Kongou in night battles.

There's been some conjecture about how the "Orange protection" fails to trigger if the ship's HP is at or below 30%. Basically at the point where the game can round it down to red. I have no idea if that's true or not. But that could explain why "Orange" KTKM and Oois sank in the last events.

You can go into night battle with red, so long as they only hit red during that day battle and not on a previous node. I've been doing it all event long since fucking Ooi seems determined to eat every single battleshit/heavy cruiser attack.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11738230
So go into night battle red. As long as you have a few ships that aren't red and they're set up to double-attack at night then you can 1-shot any boss in this event. This is part of the reason why people are running 3xCLT - they can attack in the pre-shelling phase, after all shelling has taken place, and at night they can each push 500+ dmg without having to rely on lucky cut-ins.

Line Ahead is the only formation that gives you decent torpedo accuracy

Type-A is only necessary until lvl10, when subs (Iona included) get the preemptive torpedo attack automatically

2x quintuple oxygen torpedo will max her firepower and let you do cut-ins at night for absurd damage, best in a sub fleet for optimum preemptive attacks, or 2x +10 turbines is good if you're using Iona as a tank to allow her to take less damage.

Depends on which. Iona has the built-in tankiness to be able to run 2x torpedo for cutins and still tank gloriously. The rest have poor enough evade, even remodeled, that either you run a VERY initial-strike-heavy fleet and bank on killing all enemy DD/CLs asap, or you may well get crit to red before boss node and have to go back.

I favor two torpedos, but I am using my sub fleet to farm for Kaga in World 2 right now. If I don't equip two torpedos, my fleet can't reliably S-rank bosses.

To be honest, I'm not sure how much good the turbine does. I generally favor certain damage over uncertain survival boost.

When I actually GET to kongou I can crush her like a grapefruit, but I swear these last few runs have been about the worst luck I've ever had in kancolle. Even the fucking Wos JUST HAPPEN to randomly take BBs to red, somehow, despite my entire fleet having 80-100 AA apiece and all sanshiki'd up.

I really don't understand why people worship CLT, can someone enlighten me? I mean, sure, their preemptive strike fucking hurts like hell if you put midget sub on them, but after that, in the shelling phase, they fucking sucks.

Well, they do decent damage at closing salvo and night battle as well, I suppose. But that's about it.

Am I using wrong formation? I almost always use double line with them. What equipment should you put to make them so powerful?

Of course you are going to fail when you go double line. Their torpedo has a high miss rate with anything that isnt vertical.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11739008
Good preemptive, do good damage to Destroyers and Light cruisers, good for night battle. Don't expect them to shell battleships to death, they're just there to crit a ship for 100 damage and take it out of the fight before the fight even begins, they're more or less a gambler's ship- they can instantly kill the most powerful enemy ships in the node, or all three of them can focus on a 22HP destroyer.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11739006
Honestly? Not much difference. North has a chance of Kirishima fuckery. South has a chance of Maya fuckery. Just pray the RNG is in your favor.

Has anyone managed to complete E-2 with sub Lv.50 ships?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11739008
Line Ahead synergizes fantastically with CL(t)s, for starters. Additionally, the fully remodeled kai2 CL(t)s will oneshot anything short of a battleship with their opening torpedo (and ending, if enemy fleet survives that long), and they do unfathomably huge damage in night battles due to those working off of firepower+torpedo stats instead of just firepower.

On top of that, they're dirt cheap compared to CVs, so you have fantastic first strike, -decent- shelling phase damage with Type-A+2x 15.5cm yellow, great postbattle strike, and the queens of night battle.

If you want to kill battleshits they aren't that great outside of night battle, but having cheap autokill on just about anything else is really nice. They're extremely cost effective, and REALLY good against bosses due to the night battle thing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11739008
The point of using a CLT is to kill stuff before the shelling phase. A dead or taiha enemy ship is a ship that won't damage you.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11739008

They aren't going to hit shit if you double line, you need to go line ahead or you are crippling their combat effectiveness right off the bat.

They give the biggest bang for the buck:

1. Incredibly cost efficient compared to heavy hitters
2. Their preemptive strike will take out anything short of a Ru-Class Battleship. That's one less ship attacking you. With 3 CLTs, that's potentially 6 on 3 (although CLTs will hit the same target)
3. During the day, they'll contribute, but they won't kill battleships, that's what your battleships are for.
4. Again, you get another torpedo salvo from them to reduce their fleet.
5. During night attack, they will kill literally everything through their double attack.
6. They can also casually take out weaker submarines during the day just as a bonus.

CLT equipment is pretty standard, double 15.5 yellows and a midget sub, or any other iteration that gives you double attack.

There's no other ship that can do what a CLT can. The price tag is a huge bonus on top of that.

Downside being that they're easily the most fragile type of ship you're likely to use, and when they do botch a preempt, you'll probably end up in trouble.

Still worth it most of the time, but it's something to keep in mind.

Why do you think every high level admiral has extremely overleveled CLTs compared to other ships? They are essentially god mode except for the shelling phase, and even then they can 1-shot almost anything but a BB or flagship CV.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11739062
You were being lied to.
There is no reason not to use line ahead. It is the go to formation to run. Most enemy ships cant 1shot you to red besides TA class BB. Even they cant 1shot you when they end up using shitty formation like here >>11738414

They seem pretty good on CAv if you're not against much AA or you're fielding a ton of fighters of your own to protect them. With 6 of them, they 1-hit DDs and sometimes CLs. There really isn't anything else you can put on 4th slot on CAv that will be more effective than that.

Does primary + secondary double attack ever not trigger? I've had double attack not trigger about 5 times while doing E-5 and E-7 on 90 Ooi with 2x 15.5 cm.

So how strong is a Kanmusu?

We know the setting is at least near present or future, since Imuya is always busy playing with her smartphone. Since they're used to fight the abyssal fleet instead of actual ships and planes, that means they're at least stronger than modern military equipment.

If the current event is canon, then we also know they can survive being hit with Mist fleet's gravity beams, which is even more incredible.

This all leads me to one conclusion. The Admiral must have some immense balls to continually sexually harass them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11739281
Good sir, are you implying that Iku, Kisaragi, and their ilk are not the ones doing the sexual harassment? All the shipgirls coyly suggesting that admiral touch their "flight decks" and "hangars" and other assorted "equipment?"

No, the admiral is not sexually harassing anyone. He's running the world's most dangerous harem, trying to stay chaste and pure as the driven snow (like Iku!) and sooner or later he'll say one wrong word or accidentally brush up against a girl, unleashing a tidal wave of raw animal lust that will, at best, leave him with a shattered pelvis.

This is assuming Kongou is not in play. I don't want to see what legs strong enough to hold a battleship-kanmusou, wrapping around admiral in ecstasy, could do to human flesh and bone.

Most of the expeditions don't force you to have a specific fleet without any deviation - they simply have minimum requirements. For instance, expedition 5 requires 4 ships minimum, with 1 being a CL and 2 being DDs. This means that you can bring anything you want for the 4th slot, and nothing is stopping you from throwing a 5th or even 6th ship in there if you want. You do have to eat the resource loss from adding an additional ship though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11739300
Just going off of wikiwiki here, am I to believe that Akitsu Marus/seaplane tenders go in the expedition slots that aren't DD or CL requirements? For Exp. 5 in example, only 2 DDs and 1 CL are needed but you need 4 ships to succeed, so Akitsu Maru goes in the fourth slot, yes?

[Anonymous No.]

Anyone know what's the resupply cost of Akitsumaru? Would it still be worth it to remodel her and use her for expeditions?

Unremodeled, she's super ammo-efficient, like, submarine-tier ammo-efficient. She uses a little more fuel than destroyers though, shouldn't be much of a problem if you take her in a slot that would normally just be filled by a destroyer anyways.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.

If I want a Nagato and don't care about any other drops, I should be grinding E-2 Boss node and not E-3 boss node, correct?

My reasoning is that the drop list (at least on wikiwiki) is shorter for E-2 and I am less likely to get fucked by the compass fairy on E-2.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11739735
drop-list doesn't say anything about chances, you could have double the chance in E-3 even if the drop-list is longer, we don't know the drop-chances. less problems with compass fairy, however, could mean you could get more rolls in E-2 in the same time.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11739735
The fights leading to the boss are easier too on E-2. That being said though, nobody knows the drop % and we probably won't for at least a few more days until a larger sample size is available. It is entirely possible that the drop rate on E-2 is significantly smaller than E-3, or it may be the same, or higher.

Even if the night combat makes 5-3 seem similar to E-4, it's nowhere near as hard. All you needed was a good double-attack lineup with a couple of type-3 sonars to take out the sub during the day, and finish everything else at night.

[Anonymous No.]

I wish more difficult quests would be more significant similar to the fleet-unlock quests.
Most of the rewards they can offer are pretty lackluster after all. I wouldn't mind if unlocking world 5 would be tied to a quest, or even each part of world 5 to another. Naturally not the ones like having both Zuikaku and Shoukaku in your fleet, but stuff like acquiring the other carriers.
Because currently, most of those quests are pretty meaningless - on the other hand, I really liked how this event combines both quests and maps together.

>>11740553
What I'm trying to say is that the higher tier quests aren't worth the effort. I personally spend a lot of time grinding for Sendai and Haruna which just wouldn't drop, because the rewards were definetely worth it.
Once I reached 3-2 I found that to be completely gone from the game - there is no reason to complete the quests outside of wanting to complete them all. Emergency repairs aren't necessary when completeing events, they can be a hindrance if anything.
If you tied those later tier quests to maps you'd feel like there are more steps of accomplishment. The best example is Hiryuu's quest - she's rare but ultimately nothing more than eye-candy. There is no reason to use her over any other ship and the chances of getting her are slim. If I was required to get her and Soryuu to unlock 3-4, the game would give me a feeling of progress again. Even though this event didn't do this well, what I'm refering to is definetely present, because you'd acquire both a new map and a new ship. That was what made this very fun to me and I wouldn't mind having more of it.

Shibafu and Shizuma (Yoshinori). As the above anon mentioned, Shizuma really puts the 艦 in 艦娘, and does it well. Perhaps the only work of his that I find odd is Mutsu's right eye, but extremely beautiful otherwise, so I can forgive him for that. Shibafu, I thought his art was bland, but that was six months ago. They've grown on me ever since.

Konish and Shobon are both good, but they have flaws here and there. Shobon's girls are colourful and pretty, but there's something uncanny about them, not to mention the odd shading choices that he makes and the weird proportions - it's like he can't make up his mind whether he wants his girls to be lolis or curvy and sexy.

Oguchi takes the runner up spot after Shibafu and Shizuma. He's really fantastic.

After seeing a larger piece of art, I can tell where he was going with these, but they're really inorganic. A little more exaggeration, definition/detail, and less gradual light shading in these parts would do a lot for video game art.

>and the hair
This is one of the big issues. He does very simple shapes and doesn't really source them coming from the top of the head, so they look like wigs made of Play-Doh hovering above the face. Not very well-defined shading under it either. Also guilty of large foreheads (This also used to be bob's problem).

His mecha effects seem alright.

The characters he draws with some form of noticeable headgear aren't too bad. I really like what he did with Ryuujou and Maruyu. Akitsu Maru is an exception. I do agree that the less we see of Yugioh hair the better.

Yadokari is another flawed artist. Like my god, same face up the ass with all his artwork. You can tell he didn't really give a shit when he was designing the Mutsuki class DD's.

[Anonymous No.]

I don't see why so many people hate Bob.
I admit that some ship like Chikuma have some weird stuff around, and that the shading make their design a bit too different from the other ships but it is not that bad.
Definitely not my favorite, but I think he did a good job with the likes of Sendai, Ashigara etc.

I really dislike kuuro kuro and drew.
Kuuro kuro just can't deal with proper anatomy whatsoever. I also don't like the clothes shading and all. There is a major lack of details in general.

As for drew... the shading, eyes and limb sizes are just whacky. If people complain that bob ships are too different from the other kanmusu, I would say Oboro & co are much worse, on the same page than kuuro kuro.

As for my favorite artists:
Konishi: I'm still pissed off by the Kai ni of Kongou and Hiei, but I can't complain with the delicious Agano light cruisers. I particularly like how Konoshi did the hair in general (except the Kai ni...) especially the crane sisters and the agano.

Yoshinori: pretty solid although I still have issues with the eyes, especially Mutu's.

Yadokari: I'm no lolicon, but I have to admit this guy really made adorable and badass DD. Bep's art was initially the reason why I sticked Hibiki in my fleet when I started, without knowing if her Bep form would worth the 70 levels grind. And boy, I wasn't disappointed.
The same can be said for Ichiso

I'm not completely sold with Shobon. Delicious curves, but the shading is quite uncanny and Goya is still way too odd in my books.

And yeah, let's definitely hear it for the artists who didn't manage many pieces for the game, Hatsuko, 草田草太, Paseri, etc. Let's not forget that Mikoto Akemi's done only Atago and Takao, yet Atago's one of the most popular characters in the whole thing.

Atago has 2 distinct features: blond (nips are really blond lovers in general) and her personality.

A shame Mikoto can't do shit about clothes. Takao and Atago damaged sprites are hilarious when you look at their uniform. They don't look liked shredded clothes but rather random color patch on their skin.

To me it looks less like color patches and more like the clothes are somehow glued-on with most of it burnt-off without moving. Either way, it's very immersion-breaking, oh my poor nerd fantasies.

Alright, best question: Which is the lesser of two evils, same face everywhere, or lazy clothes-ripping? I know a few other artists have gone down that slippery slope as well.

[Anonymous No.]

Definitely the latter. I've seen too many of the former to label it a capital offense.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11741304
Who would fill in the latter category? I want to say Shibafu (for example, I-401 - her damaged sprite just has her swimsuit lose a strap and she removes her shirt), but some of the other artists' damaged sprites do look awkward, like Takao and Atago. Which is too bad because I like Takao.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11741340
Here I thought I would be the only teitoku who prefers Takao over Atago.

It is a shame they won't update the sprite at all. I mean, Takao and Maya are vastly superior in Arpeggio end card done by their respective artist. It is quite ironic that they look worse in the original game.

So how do you get the most out of those planes? I equipped one on a SSV and got disappointing results

[Anonymous No.]

I think they're just making it potentially available in infinite quantities when she drops.
Keep in mind she's a holo subs, there's not much chance of making a 401 farm.

And anyway, it's a pretty good thing this becomes available "easily" for more people than about 7000 players out of 1 500 000.

>>11741608
Ise class or chitose SAV, I guess.
A remodeled 401 can hold 6 so it's not too bad - for the others SSV they'll get shot down after the first map - which is useful enough for 2-3.

>>11741824

You can farm Imuya at 3-3 after the event ends. I haven't seen Imuya either although Ikus and Goyas are dropping frequently.

The event is also dropping carriers like crazy. In the last two days I got Zuikaku, Shokaku, Kaga, Akagi, and Zuihou through boss drops. The devs must really want players to prepare carriers for Midway.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11741860
About that.

does /jp/ think it's better to aim for Taiho as fast as possible to have her at a solid level for the event - or just forget her to keep a largely comfortable amount of bauxite for the event, with already good CV like 1st CarDiv and 5th CarDiv ?

As for me, I already went from 90k to 40k for some kagas and akagis out of LSC..I'll have exams during midway most probably, so I don't mind passing on the latter part of it.

I can predict that at some point before the event, they will release night fighter. And since Taihou can launch planes while medium damaged, she will be great help for night battle in case day battle rape your fleet.

I still prefer keeping my bauxite, though. My checkpoint is at 60k, after that probably I'll try to catch Taihou or just pile even more.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11741875
you're better off using large ship crafting with those figures.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11741875

I'm using the 3 CLTs, Iona, I-401, and Mutsu.

That costs me approximately 400 fuel, 300 ammo, and 350 steel per run. Less when Mutsu avoids being Carnival da yoed.

Four of those ships are incredibly resource efficient, and having I-401 serves to deflect some of the damage from Iona since Iona costs a ton to repair.

Having 5 torpedos also cuts down potential enemy damage and saves on repair costs

Well they are actually making CV drops like candy in the current event maps. Shoukaku actually drops on E1. That said, I believe noobs still can do the first half of the event just like the fall event. The requirement would probably be reserved for a 10stars map against super wo-class carrier with F35 planes.

Verniy specializes in ASW, which Yuubari and Isuzu can already do very well so it's a bit redundant.

Poi Poi hits like a heavy cruiser and Shigure has great anti-AA so they are better.

You mentioned the two destroyers that are better than her (also Beaver depending on the situation). It's hard to justify an anti-sub gimmick when equips play a much bigger role than stats, and CLs do a way better job.

Takao rarely used her laser on E2 but it was pretty nice when she used it, took me a lot of time and resources to clear it but I did.

Takao and Haruna decided to go in overdrive mode when I went in E3 because they used their lasers every run I did and did it every boss run, it was pretty fun and tense stuff. I even ended using a damage control there because I got carried away but I finished it and had fun doing it.

Just don't rush it and do it at your own pace, Its a easy event so there's no need to rush.

Try using another sub you have remodeled and at a high level if you have one, adding Goya to my E3 fleet gave me great results and in both damage and survivability so there's a idea.

I also used damecons on everyone except the subs because I cant bring myself to advance in orange or night battle in red without them, I don't want to risk my girls.

For all I know, the IJN were highly trained in optically-sighted night-fighting, that is, relying on their ships powerful searchlights and observation devices, unlike their USN counterparts which relies on radar. While radar is superior, the USN wasn't trained that well in night-fighting unlike the IJN, which led to poorly executed tactics during the fighting. But radar superiority is well evidenced when the battleship Washington shot Kirishima full of holes using radar during the night fighting in Guadalcanal.

To get back to you on Maru-yu, I just took her for a 1-1 sortie and she used 2 fuel and 1 ammo for a single node with no night battle.

At night, ships were able to get extremely close to each other before fighting broke out. In daytime, scout planes and the like meant fleets would sight each other from miles and miles away.

Oh wow, she has much lower resource consumption than a sub.

10 fuel/5 ammo per full resupply in comparison to
40/15 Akitsumaru
10/20 SS
10/25 SSV
15/15 Mutsuki-class

I would say everyone needs 3

Probably but she can't attack at all until level 10 and I doubt she'll manage to sink the destroyer at 1-1-1. That said, I haven't tried it yet since mine is only Lv 6 right now (I've been too busy with the event to 3-2 grind her)

The boss node of E-2 got significantly easier after I depleted the boss health gauge. Does it stay this easy when I unlock E-3, or should I farm it now? I thought I saw people saying it got HARDER after you cleared it.

It's possible to sub-run E-2 without Hachi; this is my second kill with it. It takes luck for a cut-in from Iona or, in my case, Imuya, but there's no reason for the other Hachi-less teitoku to despair.

If 2 subs excludes Iona, use Iona and either Nagara/Kuma or a destroyer. If a DD, the DD must either have the highest evasion stat out of all your DDs, or be called Yuudachi Kai 2.

If 2 subs includes Iona, any 2 of the above will do.

The CA is worse because you've spent 10 hours, 100 buckets, and 15k resources due to it preventing you from reaching the boss over and over.

E-2 is annoying without a full sub fleet but E-4 is on another level.

Anybody notice that Akitsumaru keeps fighting even at 1 HP in pvp matches? I've had her get blasted down to 1 HP during the preemptive phase and she continues to fight. I've paired her with all subs so most of the enemy ships are forced to attack her but always miss due to her being at 1 HP, but she doesn't stop attacking like other ships do.
