I thought that E4 can't really be that bad... 15 runs in now total damage done to boss - 78

[Anonymous No.]

Anybody got any info on the 6th expedition map? Are they easy? What do they give?

Sanshikis are a godsend against her. If you're still doing shitty damage even with it try to sparkle everyone before sortieing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599816
Train her to be the best CVL that she can be, which is the BEST CVL.

Does Chitose has a farm value other than midget subs?

>>11599821
I want to have a high leveled CVL and AV form of her.

I'm asking if I should farm her duplicates for modernization or equipment.

>>11599817
Put a sub alongside them.

[Anonymous No.]

Nope.
You basically only need 2 midget sub for the whole game.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599827
type 21s aren't exactly the pinnacle of equipment anyway

now imuya, that's someone worth farming, especially if you have no life

[Anonymous No.]

Thank you Ooi.

E-5 was marginally easier than E-4 for me. The flagship node (1st node northern route) is oh so annoying with about every single one of the enemies doing cut-in attacks.

Compass diverted me about quarter of the times

Single horizontal on first node, double lines on second, single vertical on boss node.

Support fleet: 2 BB, 2 CVL, 2 DD with 46cm + AP, Suisei mod12 + Ryuusei kai, and main guns for DDs.

Kitakami: 5-barrel Long Lance, 4-barrel Long Lance, midget sub.
Kongou: 46 cm, 46 cm, sanshikidan.
Yukikaze: 10 cm high-angle, 53 cm torpedo.
Yuudachi: 12.7 cm Type-B, 10 cm high-angle.
Kirishima: 12 cm rockets, 46 cm, 46cm.
Ooi: 15.5 cm secondary, 15.5 cm secondary.

Repair crews or goddesses on the last slot.

About 110 buckets used + post-campaign repairs.

Grats, did you sparkle everyone?

>>11599890
Is it fair to say that if you can beat E4 then you can beat E5?
Is ships level important?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599890
That's some pretty cheap steel. I might try emulate this once I get my ammo to respectable levels.

What were the average levels for your support fleet? I doubt a 35 Junyo would suffice.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599890
Eikon? What an unusual name. Did you end up going through any repair crews/goddesses?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599890
You equipped KTKM with what? Torps?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599902
Thanks. I would have liked to sparkled everyone, but that takes too much time, so I gambled and didn't sparkle Kongou and Kirishima which saves a lot on fuel and ammo, but they can take heavier damage.

>>11599907
If you beat E-4 with a decent fleet of 60+, you should be fine with E-5.

>>11599908
74 Chiyoda, 72 Chitose, 64 Nagato, 63 Mutsu, 57 Shimakaze, 37 Fubuki on the support fleet. Sparkled Chiyoda, and they showed up every time.

>>11599914
It's Korean.

>>11599917
yes

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599930
Sadly I only have a level 55 Chiyoda and a level 44 Zuihou. Did you think the support fleet contributed significantly to clearing the map? Also, why did you equip a quad torps when the torpedo sisters should have given you two quintuple torps?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599777
Is it wrong that I want to shove my Bismark so far up her ass her saliva will taste like cannon powder?

[Anonymous No.]

Not sure if I should remodel Kongou or not. Don't really like her new art and the stat increases are really marginal considering her increased fuel consumption.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599914
Oh right. 2 damecons expended.

>>11599937
I remember reading that 40+ for support fleet is fine, but don't quote me on this. The support fleet definitely is a big factor in clearing the map. They usually take out the 2 of the enemies (3 on good RNG rolls) on the boss node. As for the other 5-barrel Long Lance, I had it equipped on Ooi with 20.3 main, but her cut-in didn't happen as frequently as I wanted; then I shuffled around the equipment and I forgot to mount it on Kitakami again.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599953
Ah yes, speaking of which. Why did you gear up for cut-ins rather than double attack?

[Anonymous No.]

So I tried getting in the game, started with the FAQ. And then I saw the words "DMM account" and "VPN".
I gave up.

[Anonymous No.]

the heck is this?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599963
Hahaha oh my god. This had better be a ruse.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599961
On KTKM? I wanted her to have a chance at one-shotting the boss. She did that once in about 5 times that I sank her, though, so it might be a better idea to just give her double attack equipment. Everyone else is equipped for double attack except for Yukikaze since her luck's high enough to make cut-in attacks useful.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599962
The guides in the wiki are so dumbed down for normals that they downright hold your hand through the process, how can you not even do that?

[Anonymous No.]

Used API only for weeks, then it suddenly stopped working, tried to get a new API and this was what welcomed me. What is that thing btw?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599976
That's funny because myself and many others have been using API for ages without anything like this happening. In fact every once in a while my fat fingers end up pressing the wrong API link on the flash projector, forcing me to get a new one, but I've never gotten that message either.

[Anonymous No.]

I'd advise against it if you plan to use her to complete event maps.

[Anonymous No.]

If you use the API, can you still progress the game?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599980
Wait, forget what's said here. I misread your post. This is the first case where API user got the hammer.

>>11599991
Well, see if you got an email about it. Whatever the cause is, I hope you can do something about it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599991
Yo anon, you abusing refresh to skip compass troll and steel?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599990
Yeah that's what I was sort of referring to when I talked about her fuel consumption. After this event blows over, it'll pretty much be a lull in consumption but right now I'm weighing the advantages of her marginal stat increases and the disadvantages of the large fuel consumption increase and it doesn't seem worth it to me.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599991
Time to say bye bye to your girls guys. It was nice playing with you.

What server were you in? Have you tried to contact DMM about this already?

[Anonymous No.]

I am tired of all this RNG nonsense that they have done to me.

I am clearly overlevelled for 4-4 and E-2, bringing the boss down to their last HP remaining. But the compass girl always troll me, it has happened for almost a week.

The people I've known have all passed these stages. I don't know what to do everyday besides keep trying (and failing).

Post api link?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11599976
The exact same thing happened to me, API suddenly stopped working all of a sudden.
But I got a new API from DMM successfully. Have you bought anything from the cash shop? Maybe they didn't ban me because I bought some stuff.

I hope this isn't their solution to get rid of the load problems.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11600019
What VPN were you using? Maybe they caught on to the one you used and banned everyone who used it.

Though I'm still not sure what were their grounds for suspending your account. Did you share your API link with someone and tried to open the game at the same time?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11600027
I have a feeling that might be the case. Either that or the picture's shooped. I have bough dock extensions, repair crews and fleet extensions. I have also used the steel node (same thing, stopped before the event), am botting using very simple scripts with random intervals, logged in on multiple machines simultaneously (and found out that game will give you error cat if you sortie on one machine while doing expedition stuff on another machine) and use the API link exclusively.

So far, I haven't been banned.

I've done steel node abuse so much the past 2 days I've went from 60 to 15k today. This news scares the shit out of me.

You're only putting more stress on the servers which make it more difficult for other players to connect/load.

You haven't seen anything yet. The registration process, if you went that far, actually asks for your blood type. This is to assess the quality of your sacrifices when the game starts asking you to appease your shipdaughters with blood offerings.

The developers also openly claim that the cheaters will be scrapped, but refuse to explain what that entails. All we know is that people who try to trick the game by using VPNs or API links, playing on a phone, or lying about having a rare blood type are never heard from again.

I thought maybe this was fake, but look at this article from a while ago: http://kancolle-news.com/archives/31575369.html

[Anonymous No.]

>>11600211
I am using damage control. What's the point of pushing with damage control when you get hit to red in the second or even the first node. You'll just lose the damage control in the third node and lose your girls in the 4th one.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11600200
>>11600211
It's not just a matter of whether you're foolhardy enough to risk it. Ships in the red have reduced firepower and can't even do cut-ins and double attacks. At that point, if you have a few red ships, you're just sending them in to eat more damage in return for scratching the boss a little. That is, if you're lucky and they decide to shoot at the boss.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11600132
Good, now fuck off.

[Anonymous No.]

Finally finished E-5, took me 8 hours (most of the time was spent on 1-1, I wish there was a way to sparkle faster).
I didn't have to retreat a single time since it never happened that someone went red after the first 2 node (I had damage control anyway).
Luck? I believe it's mostly because I always made them sparkle, even the support fleet.
The fleet I used was the usual 2BB+2CA+ooi and ktkm and support fleet was 2DD+2CVL.
Oh and got Agano on E-5.

You can clear E-3 already. Your ships are slightly lower level than mine were but even then, you have more than enough resources. Do it as soon as possible so you can prepare for E-4.

Yes, bad luck,

Is there any reason to opt for 20.3 red gun than 15.5 yellow gun?

It gives same stats+accuracy and 2 yellow can perform double attack. Just wondering as I see some ppl's loadout still has 20.3

Absolutely. In most case, I try to ignore it, mostly when it's a game about little girl, I try to convince myself it's not as shitty as it seems, and I give it a try.
But when it's a game that has :
-RNG because making a real game is 2 hard,
-girls in miniskirt and fetish clothes designed to attract the virgin (let me guess, there's a miko, a maid, and a girl with long socks),
-fucking retarded registering rules,
then it's obvious that the game is made by marketers for 25-years old virgins fapping to little girls.

>>11600463
And I don't care for YOUR opinion either, given that you're playing a game involving little girls and miniskirts.

Okay that did it, for whatever reason it wasn't showing up before, this time I checked for it while the game was loading, while last time I got it to work while I was in-game.

Many thanks.

While I'm here, I hated 50 dollars to DMM, my credit card thought it was suspicious that I was paying for a japanese company and blocked the order, I called them up and got it approved and it went through.

According to credit card company, it went through, but the money hasn't shown up. All I have is the 500 tokens for inputting my card. Do I have to do a charge-back and try again?

I followed the pastebin's instructions on how to get it to work.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11600856
不幸だわ. Yes, the support fleet only shows up during the day. did you manage to sink the boss at all while chipping away at her gauge? It might be best to just skip the support fleet and try sinking the boss as many times as possible.

>>11600835
I'm pretty sure once you've added money to your DMM account, you have to buy DMM points or something with that, and then logging in from the browser and running the game, you can buy the items in the shop.

I'll try it again after clearing the cache.

Can a ship that used up damage control be killed in the next node?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11600873

I get a network error when I try to access from API, I tried changing my local time to Tokyo time, and the issue still persists. I can access the game still fine through VPN.

Well as I was typing this, I found out that adblock was blocking the member login for some reason, so leaving this up in case another admiral runs through the same problem.

>>11600880
Thanks, I'll try to verify this. Don't know moon well enough to figure out what to navigate

[Anonymous No.]

>>11600926
Yes. Damage control going off before the boss node is grounds for an immediate return.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11600926

They can be killed, AFAIK, in the night battle if you use it during a day battle.

[Anonymous No.]

The support fleet only did 42 damage to the boss. I guess it's kinda pointless to run it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11600856
I just cleared E4 earlier today and was having the same problem killing the boss. Even with running support fleets, I would either eat a crit before the boss node or never make it to day battle. Just have to pray for the perfect (or at least above red) preboss node run. Good luck Teitoku

[Anonymous No.]

>>11600949
Yeah, who needs 42 damage.

[Anonymous No.]

I remember my CV fleet doing ~140 dmg.

Yes. And it's therefore a good idea to reduce your damage to the boss.

Been trying to clear E-4 for about 6 hours now and of the 5 times I've managed to reach the boss, I've sometimes taken it down to 50% HP.
God know how many runs I've done, but even with constant expeditions, my resources have fallen by 6k each.
Fuck this game of luck.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11601695
The Stuka did. As for fighters, the only one that was made is the Bf 109 T, which is really a Bf 109 E with a wider wingspan to assist in carrier take-offs. The Japanese were given plans for the Fw 190 and Ta 152 though.

The Bf 109 is still the lighter fighter though, and adapting the Gustav/Kurfurst to carrier operations is likely easier than trying to get the Focke-Wulf to do the same thing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11601736
Not even the devs know why.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11601733
Problem with the Fw 190 is that you're taking an already heavy plane (compared to th Bf 109), and add all the things needed for carrier operation (strengthening and all). Carrier operations in WWII is not "strap aircraft to catapults and launch" deal, there is the whole thing like crosswind to deal with.

This is where the devs need to exercise their inner WoT paper secret documents search to even have some feasibility for this to happen.

No this was just a test opening for 10k people. I only learned about the lottery process 3 nights before and couldn't wait to try my luck. As soon as i entered, Server 10 and 11 had space. This was only 30 minutes after they opened the gates and they were both at 95% full so i was pretty lucky (and yet disapointed at being unable to experience the lottery) I know this because i remember thinking already being past 2-4 when it happened. So more than 3 weeks into playing.

I'm pretty sure this is more like me getting extremely unlucky with the RNG, especially at the start. Also make sure to swap out Yuudachi as soon as you get the boss down to no hp since you'll be pretty much betting on two ships firing at the boss to kill it and having to do that with only 3 ships that have Type 3 is going to be pretty hard.

>Also make sure to swap out Yuudachi as soon as you get the boss down to no hp since you'll be pretty much betting on two ships firing at the boss to kill it and having to do that with only 3 ships that have Type 3 is going to be pretty hard.

This might be a gamble I have to take unless I can reach my resource and bucket quota faster than planned. I'm really not up for dropping more resources on crafting a fourth sanshiki and grinding another ship to an acceptable level. The best I have is an Ise at level 39.

Beat E3 / E-3 (typing both formats for ease of searching on archive)

7 runs: 4 to deplete boss HP, 2 to get trolled by compass, 1 for the kill (in that order).

Around 2500/2500/1000/500 spent. 25 buckets because I used them for chip damage

CVs with Reppu and Suisei only; Sauin on Akagi

Type-A + Torpedo + Radar on KTKM and Ooi

46cm x2 + 15.5cm + Radar on Kongou

15.5cm x2 + Torpedo + Radar for on Atago

Ooi and KTKM in first slots so they attack first at night (only used to finish off boss). The two are filthy rape and mitigate the risk of fighting at night with orange ships since they'll kill all the stragglers before they get their attack. Atago with a double attack setup to mop up the boss, just in case; never had her fire at night.

Used Line Ahead for every battle; killing enemies quickly was a better defensive strategy than Line Abreast.

Hope this is helpful for other admirals; it's a pain to find comprehensive victory and strategy reports on the archive. Time to see if I'm brave enough to attempt E4 / E-4 with an underleveled fleet.

Something funny just happened while I was doing E-3.

I had music off.

Assuming it doesn't throw off the compass, it should be fine if you stack red planes for damage. I didn't find AA to be much of a problem. My original plan was to run with with a level 50 Chiyoda Kai-2, but with all the battle nodes, I thought she'd be too squishy.

E-4 cleared in a little under 4 hours.
~12k/10k/10k/0 used with ~100 buckets.

Most of the fight was getting through the three trash nodes and escaping without anyone entering red.

I used turbines over repairs as I felt that as long as I entered E-4 without any fatigue, I wouldn't be at risk of having any ships sinking. This would allow me to theoretically have better chances to get through the three trash nodes, though crits taking some ships to the red still occured fairly frequently.

Does any recipe besides 10/90/90/30 and 10/90/60/30 reliably yield Sanshikidan? After 50 crafts of one or the other Im sporting a total of ONE of it.

I tried using the fleet twice, but I never made it to the boss in the run where the support fleet was deployed, making it useless as I believe you'll have to re-supply and re-deploy it for your next attempt.

Preparing for E-3, how much AA did you guys use? I was thinking type52 + type97 x3 on my CVx2 and CVL, and a 10cm on my CLT. I have some Suisei but no rare blue planes yet.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11602777
I went with this.
Air superiority for both the two early node. Even at the boss node.

I just had a BB with two 46cm and two CVs with one Reppu each. Don't bother with torpedo bombers; stack red planes instead.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11602777
i just stuck a reppu in the biggest slot Kaga had, and a type 52 in my Akagis top slot, filled the rest with red and a Saiun on akagi's bottom slot to stop red t-crosses

won the air war most of the time even when using double line.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11602792
From my own experience, blue can only take out trash mobs.
Stacking blue planes will make your life easier at the earlier nodes but if you make it to the boss node and your BB misses both his shot, good luck beating the boss with your useless CVs. Stack red so that they can kill boss/BB but you might take more chip damage from earlier nodes.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11602796
My all blue plane CVs/CVLs out damage the BBs all the time.

better to have 3 type 97 in your CVL to kill the trash mob, so that your BB and CLT could focus on the boss.

There's not much you can do against the RNG when you waste 20k ammo and steel on Type-3 alone and don't get jack shit out of it. I even made sure to space the crafting sprees to minimize possible seed influence.

This is quickly becoming a repeat of that 100-clears-with-nothing-to-show Makigumo run. I have a full-80 E4 fleet raring for a go but they can't do shit because the RNG has it out for me.

If it was truly luck based, you wouldn't consistently see the Ts, who do manage to clear e5, with all with high levels and resources. Sorry but I don't think a lvl 30 T will ever clear e5, luck or not. What does that tell you?

That happened to me the very first time I reached the pre-boss node, inflicted by the DD at the bottom no less. Now Yukikaze is my flagship instead and she ended up taking 1 damage from a yellow BB cut-in.

KTKM is such a fucking crit magnet though just like Kongou, it makes me think KTKM's luck stat is fake. In the meantime Aoba dodges the first 10 or so attacks targeting her and she's still never suffered more than a non-crit double attack.

You will quickly stop worrying about fuel as you progress into the more difficult maps, the limiting factor will instead be repair times. You will also have accumulated a primary team backbone (usually 4BB/2CV with Ooi and Kitakami over any component) by then, the forerunner of which is your new Fuso. Treasure her, and she won't disappoint you even when you start tackling 3-4 and 4-4.

But really, save your resources if it's not above 5k. If you have not passed 1-4 don't bother, if you did then use her, you might need the firepower. And enjoy looking at her massive things covering your office.

>>11603617
>she won't disappoint you even when you start tackling 3-4 and 4-4
I dunno, every ship that I attempted using on 3-4 disappointed me except for Mutsu, who never ate a single crit. KTKM was the worst of all, I benched her and ran 4BB + 2CV the rest of the way.

But now that I think about it maybe you're right, Mutsu was the only one of those I actually treasured, with my other favorites being DDs or CAs or CVL that I didn't want to use on 3-4.

Heh, got pretty much the same thing at your level... she certainly made me clear the earlier maps with single runs, although her consumption certainly was something. Just don't grind with her, anyway she'll get mvp for every battle, she should level quickly.

Focus on your dailies, start accumulating buckets, try some pvp since you'll probably do more later, and... well, that's it. There's no real point in saving resources past the limit, spend the resources as they come

[Anonymous No.]

>>11603630
This.
In the first few months of the game spend as much as you earn, for ship you want, sortie completion, exp farming, equip crafting, etc...

Being past the limit on a resource is wasting 1440 (or 480) of it each day.

Just start saving some weeks before an event.

Not that anon, but you need to limit your resource consumption. Don't craft too many expensive recipes and don't expect to field a fleet of BB/CV for everything. Focus on unlocking maps so you can get to better exp/drops, leveling your main fleet, and unlocking 4 fleets so you can run expeditions.

I hope the wiki is right in this E-3 lineup information at least. There's some kind of debate going on in the comments that some of the lineup info for E-3 is wrong.

The currently running event is a perfect demonstration of the fact that yes, you do need those seemingly weak destroyers you used at the beginning.

>>11603759

Don't sacrifice "lesser" ships for "better" ships that way. For one thing, even "lesser" ships like destroyers are needed in later maps (Such as 3-2... And I use them for night battles and events). That, and a lot of "lesser" ships become way better once you level them high enough and/or they receive a second modification.

That's the logical side of the argument. The emotional side of the argument I'll leave to rest of /jp/.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11603780
How was your CV performance during the shelling phase? I assume all blues/greens can't be good for that. Also, do you stack more greens or blues? Even in practice matches I find two greens on 'small' plane slots to be more than enough.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11603786
Green in the smallest slot. You only need to stop them from taking air dominance on cv nodes. The shelling phase cv damage was low, but killing off all the trash mobs on all the nodes including the boss node made up for it.

It's true. But well... I have a bad habit of collecting things, and between Shimakaze, Yukikaze, Hibiki/Верный, Shigure, Yuudachi as "Useful Destroyers", the original destroyer which I kept out of sentimental value (Murakumo for me), and... erm, almost two dozen expedition swappables, that's over 30 destroyers I am keeping for both practical and pleasure purposes... I know, I know, "Don't bother leveling the destroyers for expeditions.", they are just naturally level 30ish after you throw them (on rotation) to expedition for a while.

I don't know about accuracy, but this is definitely true with stacking asw equipment. Filling all slots on a dd with asw seems to let you do more damage to a sub than say, an Isuzu with only one asw item equipped.

>>11604038
Perhaps this is due to how damage vs armour values are calculated. I have no proof of this, but it seems like if we were to map that out into a graph, it would be an exponential curve. Basically, each point in any stat is worth more than the point before it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11604050
The reason I brought up Isuzu is because her base ASW is really high already. For whatever reason though, my damage on subs seems to be dependent not on the stat but instead how many ASW items I have equipped. A DD with 3 ASW items will, in my experience, hit harder on a sub than Isuzu with only one item even though the DD still has less ASW stat.

I sunk about 20+ destroyers, and 5-10 CLs. They tank nearly all the damage when not shiny, which results in you reaching the boss node almost every attempt. Usually kongo/haruna will hit the boss [dual strike] once and take out 200~ hp.

It helps to equip your destroyers with 2 12.7s so they dual strike too. Once you've ran them strip the equip from the survivors, scrap the ships and replace them.

It's incredibly cruel but effective and cheap.

whats more infuriating is I got to the boss a half dozen times with the traditional torp sisters/2CA/2BB and every fucking time they kill both day battle triggers and my support fleet goes to waste.

So, double line or line abreast on pre-boss for E-4? Extra armor (I think I've seen it mentioned it's the double line bonus) actually protects better against cut-ins than evasion boost from line abreast? Or is it a pure matter of luck?

I kinda feel like 15k ammo + whatever I'll gain by permarunning expeditions is kinda low, but I'll have a week to restock if I run out.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11604768
I doubt there is any different and I believe it is just pure luck. I use horizontal for first 2 and double line for BB node.
I am pretty confident to say that orange ships do not sink. So basically if you can reach the BB nodes unscathed and use double line the worst case scenario would be orange so you can proceed to boss node.

My plan is to chip down the health with 2DD 2CLT 2BB setup, all with double attack and DCs. Did you sparkle all your ships before each pre-kill run?

I started out with 2BB 2CLT 2CA
Lost 2damage control for nothing with this setup.It was terrible for the first few hours actually with this composition.
Then I just decided to say fuck it and do it with 2 sparkles BB + 4random.
Run was fucking great, these low lvl scrubs are double hitting the boss and actually depleting the boss gauge.
Ran out of spares so I just scrapped them and started to do it with BB + DD/CLT. Dropped the CA because they are actually useless outside of the boss node. They take tons of damage and eat tons of steel. So I ran the rest of the sortie with 3DD KTKM 2BB until I depleted the boss gauge. Doing it with 3DD was fucking great, low maintenance, great dodging and they can actually kill stuff in the right order and not die.
In the end, went for the kill with 2kongou 1bb 1ca 1dd.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11604787

So you just sparkle and DC BBs only, slap sacrificial pawns in the other slots and ram through to the boss node? And you don't really run out of pawns due to BB sparkling in 1-1?

So cruel... but I can see how it's so effective. Not sure I want to sink ships though. Emotional attachment is part of the fun in the game for me.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11604795
No I wasnt using low lvl DD. I was running it with my main DD. I was using lvl1 CL/CA like nakachan for the earlier sacrificial runs. See >>11603613
Later I realized that running it with high evasion DD like shimakaze/yukikaze was much more effective. I didnt even put a damage control on shimakaze and she made it through every run without dying. Yukikaze was the mvp though, she is really a miracle ship. She gained like 4lvl just on this map.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11604810

Oh. That makes more sense. I've actually been grinding Shigure, Yuudachi, Shimakaze and Hibiki for their remodels. High armor comes in handy for reducing chip damage that comes through, from what I've seen in E2.

I'll shelf CLTs until later then, stick turbines on DDs and see what happens.

Is there any difference in terms of drop quality if I achieve S, A or B rank in a boss battle?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11604813
Running with DD isnt about firepower though.
It is about reducing the armor of fuel/ammo/steel used.
E4 is all about luck, so basically the more sortie you can do, the chances of you beating it will be higher.
Although I do feel that there are some hidden formation bonus. The flagship is rarely targeted so putting a BB there is good to save steel and destroyers in this game really work like "escorts" as the enemies love to target them first.

[Anonymous No.]

Having a chance to get a protect move from DDs when BB is targeted with double attack is an additional bonus, I guess.

There's no real point farming any ships, really. Radars are nice to have, though you can't really expect to see a notable increase in accuracy unless you're using a type 14 or 32/33. You'd want at least 1 ship equipped with it on maps with whirlpools though.

Chitose/Chiyoda is a nice and cheap source to get lots of midget subs, sure, but there are really only two ships in the game that needs them, and the titty CVL sisters certainly doesn't need 2 of them each.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11605251
No need to farm Isuzu at all. Waste of XP IMO. Like the others have said midget subs are pretty common and in fact often appear as unwanted trash in the 46cm recipe. You'll also get a ton of CVLs while grinding which all give hefty AA modernization bonuses.

Do mind that I only attempt once in a while so maybe it's just sheer luck that net me those radars. Two of those crafts came from 1 try only though. Might as well as try yours if the extra 1 on the ammo counter might increase the rate.
I only used type 14s though for anti-air combined with 46cms on my BBs. Kirishima sometimes misses but most of the time it's a satisfying critical on the enemy. The type 14 was quite useful too on E-3 since I only have two N1K1s as my top fighters.

You should already have 2 x 5-barrel O2 torps and a 53 cm submarine torpedo. Even midget subs hit harder if you don't go into night battles. Beyond the 1 4-barrel O2 torp you get from your starter, what more could you need?

If you're actually using those DDs, nearly all of them come with 4-barrel O2 torps after refits. I'm still not seeing a point in specifically farming those.

Yes. Either to trigger cut-ins for ships with high luck or as a boost to day-time torpedoes.

>>11605325
No, you're thinking of normal quads. Most DDs either have nothing or get a tri or quad even when they remodel. Only a few get the +10 oxygen quads (like Yuudachi kai2).

>>11605345
If I'm going to farm anyone it's going to be KTKM because she remodels with two as stock at lv10. I won't bother for quints though.

In E-4, do you need exactly 2 Kongou-class BBs to get the shortcut, or can you use more? I have an emergency plan in place to toss about 12 stockpiled lvl1 Kongou BBs at the boss when I'm low on resources and gauge isn't depleted yet.

Nevermind, it's not the common DDs, but the CLs that get those 4-barrel O2 torps at refit. I assumed wrongly. I still stand by my statement that farming specifically for those is stupid: bringing KTKM-sama and Ooicchi to 50 is 4x 4-barrel O2 torps and 2x 5-barrel O2 torps already.

So I know double attack activates more than cut-ins, but it also seems to do only single digit damage sometimes. If you consider those as failures, does double-attack still end up being more reliable damage than cut-in? I don't remember cut-ins ever doing just chip damage.

Cleared E-4 in eight hours. Difference was about 10k fuel, 11k steel, 8k ammo, 75 buckets, one damage control. Sparkles don't seem necessary. Tried cannon fodder strategy at the beginning, but stopped because it didn't seem effective. Support fleet only made it to the first boss kill and the final battle, but we finished her off during the night. Mainly it was Kongo and Haruna eating hits forcing me back. Isuzu did really well overall, rarely taking hits. She didn't seem to do any less damage than Haguro. Even when Shigure failed to perform a cut-in, her single attack would typically kill enemies with 170ish damage. Miracle Shigure! The only ship to make it back unscathed.

Shigure: 10cm + 54cm torpedo + Long Lance
Yudachi: 12.7cm + 10cm + damage control
Isuzu: 15.5cm + 15.5cm + damage control
Haruna: 46cm + 46cm + sanshiki + damage control
Haguro: 15.5cm + 15.5cm + sanshiki + damage control

Please. There are only a few ships that can take a BB into red with a crit. Everything else will land a yellow or orange which is acceptable. Only 2 of those nodes count, since a BB or two being red before the preboss node shouldn't matter if you have other ships equipped with sanshikidans.

To be fair, E-4 isn't entirely 100% about luck either. It also involved risk you are willing to take in order to ensure victory.

While the same can't be said for everyone, at least if you keep playing safe and not move ahead, then your failed run of E-4 will only pile your stress up and the stage will never be cleared anyway.

The "don't give up" or "patience testing" is indeed the key for this event, at least that's what I've learned from clearing E-4.

Trust me, they do - in fuel and steel for repairs, mainly. The attrition rate on the way to the boss is much lower. Repairing a red DD takes about 30 steel 15 fuel, red CA takes 90/40 - and DDs actually have better survivability on mob nodes due to higher evasion, CAs will get taken down to red by BB cut-in, DD will oftentimes shrug it off with 5-10 damage. It all adds up.

Yes, but high evasion, from my experience, can lower the damage taken from cut-in to single digits.

What? You don't get extra fatigue for F5. You get the same as you would for returning to base normally after clearing it or turning back at previous node.

I really dont believe that level actually make a difference. My kongou kai2 which supposedly has higher evasion compare to everyone was shit, no difference at all compare to my lvl30 mutsu, lvl50 hiei or lvl70haruna.
Still eat crit and take 2x the amount of resources to bucket.
On the other hand my lvl30 yukikaze consistently outperform everyone else that is 20lvl higher. If there is 1stat that I believe in, it is the luck stats.

8 Hours, 32 Sorties, 105 Buckets, 15306 Fuel, 9818 Ammo, 12499 Steel, 787 Bauxite, 3 Damage Control

Chikuma swapped in, and support fleet used after boss gauge depleted. Kongo single-handily took most of the health off boss herself, including doing 400 + 47 damage in the final run. DDs performed very well overall. I kind of wish I'd stuck with BEP the whole way, since Chikuma contributed very little.

This is so unbelievable I dunno if I should feel sorry for him or call it just deserts.

What's amazing is that considering how precious Yamato is, why the hell did he put a worthless ship like mogami as a flagship instead of Yamato. Not only you don't want any risk to have her sunk, but having your ship to auto protect her at times will lessen the painful repair bill.

If he didn't get Musashi despite such recklessness, he better stop right there.

I used 2 DD 1 CV 2 CVL support fleet with a mix of red/green/blue planes once I got the gauge down. It seemed like only red planes could hit the boss herself, but having blue to help clean up the other ships was helpful.

As for equip, if there's a slot missing on the list, it's a damage control.

A run was cheaper of exactly the cost of 2 CA and SS/CLT or 2CLT, so it's quite a lot for multiple nodes.
It's also much faster than normal runs since you don't mind much orange/red ships.

The enemy liked to aim at the DD, so I pushed far quite often with this strategy - and by the node 3 or more, and Kongou and Haruna would get damaged by then - so I mostly negated fatigue with buckets.

I recommend 20k resources and 4sanshiki ships to wipe E4 boss. Level doesnt really matter, you just need ships with sanshiki to shoot the boss.
You do need high level carriers for E3 though. If you have 3CV/L and 2CLT, E3 is a walk in the park.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11607287
It's often used for grinding because all the enemies that spawn there are forced to attack subs. If you have one, it's basically damage-free XP, if not, the enemies are all still pretty weak.

The next node ahead is a rich steel resource node. You can avoid the carrier-filled node after that by refreshing the game although it is technically against the terms of service. It is not unusual to get thousands of steel an hour if you grind hard there.

What? Do you have something against DDs?

Node D in E5 has obligatory day battle. Seems like I gotta use the 2nd formation for that node.

Just want to confirm because I think someone said before that if you have one sparkly its the same as having all sparkly in expeditions, is this true, has anyone tried?
Tried it for myself and I keep getting yellow success only, I might be missing something.

I think it's something more along the lines "each sparkled ships gives you increasing chance of getting great success, up to 90%for 6 sparkled ships".

[Anonymous No.]

>>11607763
I've only gotten "great success" on expeditions when all the ships have sparkle. If even one ship doesn't have it going into the expedition then I always get the regular success when it completes.

Some people are saying that having only the flagship of a fleet doing a support expedition (not the resource gathering ones) is the same as all of the ships having sparkle - maybe you're confusing the two expedition types?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11607749
No, but pretty much the only DDs I am interested in are Kisaragi and Shiratsuyu, and since I prefer PvP to 3-2 runs, it's bothersome to level them. My CVs and CVLs are likewise massively underleveled.

As an aside, I've found that the upside to using a CA/BB team is that you'll run past the gauntlet almost every time, since cut-ins invariably knock you to orange instead of red. I don't think I can keep up with the cost of 1k steel per successful run, though.

This. I'm only on E-4, but will someone please shoot the boss! It's particularly annoying to have a team that finally makes it to the boss node with nobody in the red, only for all the ships waste hundreds of points in crit damage on the escorts, while the boss sits there unscathed.

E3 cleared. Took about 2 hours 30 minutes and dropped Agano in the process. Didn't bother to wait for chipped ships to repair and spammed 40 buckets.

[Anonymous No.]

Holy shit. E4 finally cleared after some 3-4 days of awful luck. Initially started at around 17k/17k/20k and ended up completely using up all my fuel just to bring the boss down to around 1/3 health; I literally dropped down to 1 fuel at some point.

Frantically farming fuel with glittering expedition fleets and trying to spam 2-3 with my only sub, Iku, all while I was forced to use SS/DD cheese to slowly chip down the boss to preserve resources until I could use the main fleet to go for the sink. The total resource count was probably somewhere around 25-35k of fuel/ammo/steel each and some 200+ buckets.

Things were looking grim in the final sortie with the boss at around 200 health, and a BB at full life when day battle began, but consistent hits on the boss eventually lead to Kitakami crit'ing the boss for huge damage and Haruna finishing the job with the final shot of battle. What a huge load off my shoulders.

>>11607662 here, finally got through E4. I hope you will excuse a victory celebration post.

3/4BB strategy didn't work as intended, the BBs could tank well but the steel costs were too steep for a medium-budget clear attempt. Low-level DDs can still hold their own in the map, so you can probably dust off your expedition leaders and use them in E4. Switching CAs for DDs is not recommended, however, since CA repair costs are not all that heavy. Kongo-class BBs will be your main steel drain.

Unless you're extremely unlucky, 25k fuel/steel and 15k ammo will be more than sufficient for the map, but be careful with your damage controls and don't risk things early on, since your ability to advance is greatly hindered if you lose a couple when you've just gotten started (unless you still have the spares from quests/E3/maintenance apology). Good luck to all still trying to clear E4.

Final team:
Kako (51): 15.5cm, 15.5cm, type-3, damage control (sunk once, repair kit replaced with type-33 radar, moved to flagship)
Kitakami (85): 15.5cm, 15.5cm, damage control (replaced with type-A midget submarine)
Kiso (79): 15.5cm, 15.5cm, boiler
Kirishima (82): 46cm, 46cm, type-3, damage control
Kisaragi (41): 12.7cm, 12.7cm, damage control (sunk once, repair kit replaced by boiler)
Kongo (82): 46cm, 46cm, type-3, damage control
Yamashiro (82): 46cm, 46cm, type-3, boiler (replaces Kirishima after gauge depletion)
Resource bill: ~12k/8k/12k/0, 90 buckets, 2 damage controls, 6 hours.

You cant beat her if you keep on retreating. Never retreat when orange. If there is only 1ship at red and it is not your kongous after the BB nodes and you have damage con, go for it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608367
Are you retreating too early? A good rule of thumb in E4 is that you should advance on the first two nodes if you have no ships in the red (or low orange/lower than 33% HP if you subscribe to the "sinking chances use HP percentages different than these used for light/medium/heavy damage icons, so it's impossible to sink at high orange" theory) and advance onto the boss node even if one or two of your (damage control-equipped) ships are in low orange/red.

How many damage controls do you have in total, and what are your remaining resources? You may afford to risk some.

You're probably doing something wrong. Bringing too many DDs rather than CAs (before people comes up to defend DDs usage, looking at the reports in this thread, I notice those teams actually wasted more resource in the long term than just CA-oriented team)

DDs are recommended in E4 only if you don't have anything better. If you have enough CAs and CLTs, then you should be using them, but DDs are definitely a valid option if your only other high-leveled ships are BBs and CVs and you need one last ship to complete your roster.

The order of effectiveness in E4 gauge depletion runs seems to be CA > CLT > DD = CL > BB.

>who put damage dealers at the top rather than the bottom
Aren't the damage dealers on the bottom rather than the top in both cases? Both fleets have three BBs at the bottom.

Have you tried running 2 Kongous + sacrificial ships ? Perhaps you should try what I've done here : >>11607078
I ended using all my unneeded ships, but my first intent in using them was to test how likely ships were to die in orange/red and at which node.
This helped me a lot to estimate when I should retreat with damage control, and as you can see, the results were pretty good over the whole clear.

BB or two gets crit to the face on first node and goes to red. CAs haven't done anything useful. The only leveled DD with high luck stops using cut-ins on boss node.

I have not, since I do not like the idea of sacrificial ships. I never had one of my ships sink, except when they had damage controls, and I intend to keep it that way.

But I can see how effective the method is.

Also, tried the support fleet since every time I've made it to the boss I've gotten into the day battle. First time ever, all the ships start targetting my flag and then I get taken to SW when my flag manages to live long enough.

Still have a lot of resources, but my morale is going down fast.

If it makes you all happy I could try double attack for my flag DD, but I doubt it'll make any difference with this awful luck of mine.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608444
Going to boss with heavy damage is actually not that detrimental, since you'll rely on chip damage to deplete the gauge and her escorts are usually not very threatening. In addition, the boss is sunk just about only when two BBs concentrate fire on her during the night battle (or you trigger a day battle after an attack by a single BB), so unless your heavily damaged ship is a BB, you aren't significantly decreasing your chances at getting her down. In fact, you just might get an attempt at a day battle, since your damaged ship will not shoot.

However, ships in the red should have damage controls for obvious reasons.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608455
Support fleet's great. You make it to the boss node, they mess up a bunch of stuff for you.

It's great when you still have lots of resources left and can afford to blow them on it, such as when you just start doing E-4. I've stopped using them now because it's so difficult to make it to the boss node with nothing in the red, and the compass loves to send me SW when everyone's in good condition.

Try putting your BB in your flagship spot so she can make it to the boss in good health.
Depleting the boss health should be very easy. Since day battle is triggered very easily when you have damaged ship (reduced damage) and you will have 6ships blasting her ass twice during day battle.

They are items that save your ship from sinking, and are consumed in the process. They come in two variants, the regular one merely saves you while the repair goddess fully heals your ship in addition to preventing the sinking. They are extremely useful in event maps, which involve running through several difficult nodes under a time limit. In these maps, you frequently need to push through with ships under the danger of sinking, and equipping damage controls on your fleet mitigates that risk.

Every admiral is given two at the beginning of the game, more can be obtained by quests, events (the third map of the current event gives you a regular and an advanced one, but you shouldn't attempt the event yet if you've just started) and apology rewards for various server errors. You can also buy them, and after additional dock slots they're about the best investment you can make in this game.

But for now you should just concentrate on leveling your ships and clearing new maps. Don't forget to do PvP, especially when the other player has left one or two ships for you to take on.

Anyone got Hatsukaze from E-3? I've been farming for over 50 runs and I haven't seen her.

[Anonymous No.]

No. Anything good dropped in those 50 runs?

Replace clt wth cvl if you want maximum safety from CA chip damage. You can also drop the BB if you want to take the risk to face torpedo phase.

I got her when I was in the middle of completing the map.

I use: 1 BB, 4-5 DD/CL, 1 CA (optional). Heavier ships can be lv1 fodder if you swing that way.

So does sitting on the boss screen like the post earlier work for E4 as well? I assume so but I'm not 100% sure.

Confirmed that going into night battle with red will not sink your girls.
I tested it out at 1-1 boss node.
Started at green, no fatigue, went into night battle with 3hp, ate cutin for 2damage and then have another shot miss.

A Kongou sister and Aoba, probably, seeing as how an AA cruiser was hinted at before.

>>11608632
Now try that with your high level kanmusu at a map where they hit for more than just single digit to begin with. I dare you.

>>11608635
Yeah I am going to do it at E-5

Was the cut-in critical or displayed without critical?

[Anonymous No.]

If I don't have the extra 15.5 yellow for Kako is that going to be a huge problem? On Preliminary runs it wasn't so bad but I'm going to go off and do something and begin E-4 in earnest when I get back and I was curious on opinions.

10/110/110/30 didn't give me what I needed but I did give me 2 AP ammo and 1 AA so I can't be too bad.

What would you guys think would be the minimum level requirement to clear E-1?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608687
You can probably clear it with level 1 throwaways

Around level 10 at the very least.

I need to know, is it a stupid move to level a Hibiki up to lvl26 while my next highest level ship is an Isuzu Kai at lvl17.
Should I regret wasting the first few days in this game especially during an event season?

Would it be likely for this to potentially work?
Lv11 Battleship (+25mm AA)
Lv11 Aircraft Carrier (+12.7cm dual high altitude cannon)
Lv10 Light Aircraft Carrier
Lv8 Heavy Cruiser (2x 20.3cm)
Lv8 Heavy Cruiser (2x 20.3cm)

It's a three star map where the boss is just an elite BB.
Anything you use to beat 1-4 or 2-1 with should be more than fine.

Why don't you try? If you are just starting out you have a 5 day period where none of your ships will sink...

Wait, what? First time I've heard of this. Is this written somewhere? If you don't mind posting a link, that would be great. I can read moon.

All the "Boss health will stop regenerating once the bar is fully depleted" of E-3 is total bullshit, isn't it?

I already depleted the whole bar 2 times and is still regenerating, and I ran out of resources now, so I can't sortie anymore until more I get more resources.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608704
You really don't need those Depth Charges or Sonar. Just use formation 4 against the sub node.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608660
the fuck. e4 is auto transition, your hiei is at red at the start, of course it is going to sink.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608714
No no, that is complete bullshit

I've seen people sink their starters on day 1

[Anonymous No.]

Is all the sinking misinformation some attempt to turn away new players or the fault of new players whom are cutting open the house cat to divine what makes ships sink?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608717
Just to make sure, you're not just mistaken here are you? When the whole big bar for the level is depleted it won't regenerate anymore, this isn't referring to the bosses bar itself but the level's bar.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608632
Death protection exists even at the red stage, from all the times I've run through with damage control I'd say a ship getting hit in red when they started with no fatigue probably only has a 25-50% chance of actually sinking. Night battle still seems to be separate from day battle in this fight.

If orange can sink, then it's an extremely low % as I've never seen it happen.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608738
As far as I can discern, there are three camps when it comes to sinking.

1. There is an unknown percentage at which ships start sinking, and all we know is that it occurs somewhere around the medium damage range. Ships do not sink above this threshold, so high-orange ships are safe while low-orange ships are not.
2. Ships start sinking at medium damage, but with such low chances that you may find it worth risking to advance even with no damage control. Red is the "danger zone" where the possibility of sinking is too high to take any chances.
3. Ships do not sink at medium damage. The reports that they in fact do can be attributed to fatigue or human error.

The third faction has been decreasing in popularity lately, given the number of reports we have that ships in fact do sink at medium damage and no fatigue.

>>11608748
Unless E-3 is different from E-4 and E-5, it does regen. It probably doesn't seem that way due to how slowly it regens.

[Anonymous No.]

There isn't even one proof video of a ship ever sinking at medium health. The only time a ship will ever sink is advancing to a new node at red.
Night time battles aren't separate battles so sending a ship that was made red in that battle into night battle/day battle if it starts at night will never make it sink. Not one proof video has ever been posted of anything otherwise.

Dev tweet'd early in the event that the night -> day battles are counted as one battle in terms of sink calculation to address concerns regarding the transition. They wouldn't have done so if day -> night are treated as a single battle.
