Can we finally pack these threads up and send them to /vg/?

You guys seem like you would be more at home there anyway.

I'm amazed how people are able to sink limted edition event ships. So much I don't believe it actually happens without at least a screen.

So, in a brilliant display of crossposting and invasive foreign board culture... nice b8 m8

Why doesn't /vg/ have them anyway?

/jp/ was originally the board for "stuff that looks like /a/ but isn't" and a lot of people still think of it that way.

Janishite won't allow it because he can't babysit the thread on /vg/

[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.
Also fatigue and refueling have no effect on sinking.
Anyone who says they have had a ship sink otherwise without proof is a troll.

If you guys go sw at pre-boss node do you just leave or man it up?

Leave. Fought her once, and didn't get anything out of it, so no point doing it again.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608885
I'm debating cause I get sent there every time now it seems since I got boss to 2/3 health. I arrive there with only one ship in orange and than leave with all ships in red, this map is bollocks.

Where's the MP at?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608870
All japanese sources seem to agree with this, but there was something that suggested that the very high end of high damage can still appear as middle damage (as in, when 1 more hp of damage will take you to 大破), so maybe only proceed at the higher end of mid-damage, and just to be safe only do it with replacable ships, not Yamato and Musashi.

I really need to improve my Japanese and get off the English-language internet because there's nowhere remotely non-shitty to discuss Kancolle in English.

Maybe it really is because it's a shit game that attracts shit people.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608927,1
No, there's just really nowhere good to discuss Japanese media that isn't anime or manga in English.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608927,1

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608927,2
Is there a good place to discuss Japanese media that is anime and manga in English?

I generally think of /a/ as being as good as it gets, which is not exactly inspiring.

[Anonymous No.]

How does this looks for E-5 ?
I have no idea what to use in place of the sanshikis, but perhaps they are useful for E-5 too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608965
I'd put a green gun on takao too. All units in the boss fight launch planes.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608973
uhhh not that anon but I have roughly the same setup except sanshikidans on everyone and 10cm on torp sisters. Think I'll be fine?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608978
>>11608973
If you opt for that setup, you'll go north and enconter node H, a whirlpool, so a radar seems to be needed.

Though yeah, having an AA weapon on takao and a radar instead of a sanshiki on a Kongou is better - since the 46cm can already activate AA.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608965
46cm x2, radar and damage control on battleships. 15.5cm x2, sanshikidan and damage control on heavy cruisers. Your torpedo cruisers are okay.

>>11608973
The sanshikidan already makes main and sub cannons fire anti-air rounds. So removing them in exchange for an anti-air gun is pretty much the same.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608927,4
The guy you are replying to is a liar, there are no good places to discuss anime or manga

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608982
Oh, the radar avoids the whirlpool effects or something? Can't find anything on the wiki about it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608982
I still believe in the 46cm + type-3 hidden placebo synergy. So I'll change two reds on takao to 12.7 cms

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608992
Reduces its effect.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608965
>>11608973
>>11608987
All right for the 46cm, it might be better, and I have more than enough.

About AA, I just did some test and 15.5 secondary gun + 10cm secondary gun can activate double attack too. Wouldn't that gun setup be better for boss fight AA ?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609010
If you want more AA, sure. Those 10cm high-angle guns acts as main guns at night.

[Anonymous No.]

What setup should I be running E4 with? Currently have 1 Torpedo Cruiser, 1 Aviation Cruiser, 2 Kongous and 2 Heavy Cruisers but always seem to have someone hit down to red while trying to reach the boss. I'm guessing it's just relying on dumb luck to get to the boss?

[Anonymous No.]

Is the typesetter anon around?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11608965
On that note, how hard is E5 compared to E4? There is one less node to worry about, and the 2/3 chance for a Wo-class in the second node is certainly a welcome change over E4 and its CA/BB nodes, but the boss fight seems as tricky as it was in E4.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609027
Boss fight is about the same difficulty but that flagship node is a pain in the ass.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609027
Haven't tried yet as I wait to complete today's daily, but the fact that the boss starts during day sounds a bit annoying.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609025
The typesetters usually hang around in the /a/ threads. Lately a namefag known as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has essentially taken over most of the typesetting.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609038
I see, thanks.

[Anonymous No.]

So, did anyone confirm that the E-4 and E-5 bosses won't regen if you keep the game on the starting screen of the battle with it?

[Anonymous No.]

Face it, the only reason you weebs like this shitty game is because it's in nip and not in English.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609102
Responding to a troll post etc, but yeah, the Japanese VAs are definitely a big part of me liking the game. I ain't even frustrated.

Just for short little pixiv comics. The manga and doujins still seem to come from guys out of here. But with the length of the threads and the image limit it's probably easier to work on /a/ anyway.

Losing a ship feels bad as fuck.

[Anonymous No.]

This is sad, Based off of my first couple attempts I don't think I'm going to be able to beat E-3, and certainly not enough to get agano

[Anonymous No.]

So double bar seems to be the best to keep my BBs from getting shit on in E-4? Because I'm having awful luck with it so far.

[Anonymous No.]

Probably should have focused on Yuudachi first.

I still want to see what happens when you take a Ka-class submarine's mask off. I bet she'd panic and struggle around in water, unable to swim and deathly afraid of drowning, until she notices that abyss ships can breathe underwater anyway.

[Anonymous No.]

So someone said last thread sitting at this screen on E5 will stop her health from regenerating? Does it also apply for E4 so I can stop shooting myself in the foot and let resources regen?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609214
I can't fucking clear E2. I've been trying for a week. I make it to the boss node 1 out of every 5 tries, and every single fucking time I either kill all enemies during night thime without getting a shot at the boss, or nerf my squad so much that I can't even kill it during the day. The support team does nothing (except eat up 100 fuel for every try). I think I'm just gonna quit. Faggot ass casual facebook game.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609236
I'm going to test it, need to get some sleep anyway. I'm down to the last big bar so I'll give a report once I wake up in about...12 hours or so.

But a confirmation would be nice, yeah.

I want to believe she's got a mole near her bottom lip she hides with the mask because it makes her less attractive.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609233
Imagine finishing off the E2 boss, only to realize that you're actually halfway through the map, and that you actually have to run two E2 maps back-to-back in order to get to the real boss. Which by the way is nigh-immune to anything but BBs and CAs. Also, there are Ta-class battleships, and the boss gauge regenerates.

That's how E4 feels like.

[Anonymous No.]

What do you guys use as support fleet for E5 ? Mine (DD/DD/CVL/CVL) isn't doing much so far.

It's surprising how good those idle and time lines are, can't wait for the next event or update to roll around.

[Anonymous No.]

I accidentally cleared E-4.

Took about 6 hours, 9k fuel used. 4x sanshikidan. Didn't bother sparkling Kongou sisters. 90 buckets.

Final run was boss node without even yellow damage, KTKM-sama hit boss for about 100, Maya hit her for about 150 or so, and then Kongou went ZEN HOUMUN FIAHHH dealing 300~400 damage. 46 cm on Kongou and Hiei, 41 cm on Nagato whom I only brought for the kill.

Ganbare, teitokutachi who are stuck on E-4.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609322
oh yeah, the first screenshot was taken after my first run at E-4, where I managed to sink the boss. "Why the hell not" and I continued.

So uh, Kancolle thread.
Is it still okay to start playing at this point? Can I have fun?
Is there a way to ensure your ships will never sink ever, even if it has an impact on "productivity"?

Night battles are so great, aren't they?

[Anonymous No.]

did you spend 4 damage controls while doing it? I forgot to mention this. I pushed on even at reds. It really makes chipping away at the gauge easier.

I just started a few days ago and here is my fleet so far. How am I doing?

Currently on 1-4, expeditions 3 and 5 for fuel. Not sure when I should try E1 for Iku.

Anything I should be aiming for?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609371
You could clear E-1 and E-2 next weekend. Just start leveling up a heavy cruiser in Chiyoda's (useful for everything but this event) spot

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609378
Ok, I switched her out for a Lv14 Atago.

I don't need to craft anymore ships and should focus fuel on leveling, right?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609395
Pretty much. Once you can clear 1-4 without difficulties, you should be good for E-1.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609396
Thanks, that's good to know. I'm assuming I will be replacing one of my destroyers when I get Iku.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609400
Nah, keep the destroyers for the event. Low level submarines are not useful in event maps. For more information, check out the wiki's event map guides.

And it only took some 10-odd hours.

Ho boy, I didn't expect E5 to be this hard.
Over 14 runs so far,
10 to the last branch,
5 to the boss,
Damaged her 4 times,
0 times under 50% HP (best at 240/400)

The kill is going to be crazy hard.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609436

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609436
The kill is not as difficult as e4's in my opinion. Day to night battle gives plenty more opportunity to wipe out the lower level ships (probably not the himes though) to let night battle focus on the boss.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609457
this sounds pretty dangerous given the high regeneration rate. Does it help a ton ? I can't picture it being useful for each run or so.

I think you have to take the chance and bring red ships to night battle. Just gotta trust that if they didnt start the fight at red, they wont sink.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609538
I did, and lost a damage control on Ooi this way. for E5, night battle is considered as a second phase.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609511
Hiei would be a logical choice. I said it in the last thread as well, but I'm pretty sure the CA is going to be Aoba getting her AA refit as the devs had hinted on Twitter a while ago.

[Anonymous No.]

Should I bring BB into E-2 ? So far my setupmanaged to get the boss hp bar down but they are too low on firepower to kill the boss or just too dunb to aim at it.

I wonder if adding a heavier ship would still please RNG to led me into the boss node without critting my ships. Spend 12 hours to get to the boss and no success. The fuck am I doing wrong?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609557
No (visible) fatigue, orange

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609553
I was able to kill the boss using a CVL for the final fight. If your ships are consistently not hitting targets, it's easier to bring in a CVL and go for the kill during the day battle, since there's a high chance of one of the elites surviving.

...then again, I'm not sure if it's recommended. It just worked for me.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609553

2 Kongous guarantee going straight to the boss. Worked 100% of the time for me.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609554
Trying that right now.

>>11609565
They are hitting the boss but too weak to kill her for good or just aiming at that elite DD to prevent me from doing day battle.

I have RJ at level 17, but I'm too scared to even send something beeing able to be one shoted from orange/red (Hibiki is a fucking tank), I wasted all of my damage controls and one throwout ship.

>>11609576
Post your setup fellow Admiral

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609553
No, that's just a waste of resources. Use 3DDs, 2 CAs and 1CLT instead. Destroyers on the first three slots and the last three slots the CAs and the on the last slot the CLT. My Kitakami finished off the boss when she was at the very bottom and she decided to do a cut-in on her. Stack red guns on your ships for double attack if you want since it generally activates more than cut-in

[Anonymous No.]

I seriously need help with my E5 composition since I'm completely lost with it. What's the safest route to take? What should I bring for it?

[Anonymous No.]

Holy fuck.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609589
I heard ability to read is pretty OP

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609597
Because you need to have two destroyers no matter what. That's all the space that's left.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609525
Why is the optimum support fleet size 4, anyway? Just in terms of supply efficiently or is it more likely to trigger?

Also, if I'm planning to bring along Mutsu to finish off the E5 boss, I'm forced to go south since she's the only low speed ship in my fleet, right? How bad is the whirlpool up north?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609608
I don't think so, try remodeling her and get her to at least 20s or 30s. If you have the midget-sub, put it on her so that if you're forced to do the day battle, you have an opening torpedo attack. If not then just stack torpedoes on her.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609436
Around 10k of each resource sunk in E5 for the past 4h and I lowered the bar of about 8% so far.

I guess i'll give it up for this weekend and build resources back for a last attempt at E5 in 6 days.
The psychological drain of going NE 6 times in a row is also pretty hard. When lady luck is away, wait for her to come.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609637

I am thinking of cheesing it with subs or bruteforcing with 3kongou+fast ships with A B C D route.
At least with the latter, my support is guarantee to hit.

Furutaka. She was my very first CA and I left her at 27 when I'm clearing 2-3 up to 3-2. Now she's 37 and was part of the fleet who took down E-2.

[Anonymous No.]

Ok I have an important question.
I know a lot of people have claimed to have lost a ship who became orange in day battle when they progressed into night battle, or who was orange when they progressed into day battle.
But has anyone lost a ship like that outside of one of the events? Is there any chance that its easier to lose ships during the event?

And of course, if they were at red fatigue or something when you lost the ship, mention that too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11609769

Akagi, I told her if she got crit to orange before the boss node one more time I'd swap her out for Hiryuu. So far she has refrained from pulling any of that Midway shit again.

She was only lvl20+ when I did E2 with her and generally outperformed yudachi kai2 & bephin. Didnt use activate any damage control while Maya was a huge flop, used up to 2DC and. never hitting the boss with sanshiki

sorry for late reply.
if you want to avoid fatigue and have spare bucket&resources, it's better to fight.

>>11608921
that's another theory which rely on HP percentage (e.g 33% HP or less is prone to sinking).

>>11609845
it's purely psychological in my opinion.

most people focus their attention to their ships when they do event maps.
that's not the case when they do regular maps such as 2-3 or 3-2. on those maps, they just do mindless grinding while multitask with other activities which can lead to sortieing fatigued ships or accidentally proceeding to the next battle.

If kancolle MP exist, most of us would be court-martialed for negligence.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11610205
Throughout all the suiciding run and DC used in E4 I am pretty certain that orange at the start(maybe you are right about 33% of total HP) does not sink.
The problem would be starting a new phase of night battle at RED? Does it count as a new battle and the ship lose its sinking protection?

I want to believe what >>11608870 said since all the E5 clear video that I have seen so far have teitoku sending red ships into the night battle taking single digit damage from boss cutin. If only there is a video of red ship sinking at night battle.

[Anonymous No.]

>3 hours until lottery
I'm holding my dick

[Anonymous No.]

Just cleared E-4 myself, and I'm a proponent of the orange doesn't sink theory. It might be due to night battles or the map, but orange sinking hasn't happened to me in my 12 hours of E-4 clearing.

The chinese forum's theory of "ships do not sink unless they have 1/4 or less of their hp left" seems sound. However, I think Fatigue is another thing entirely since I've never sent out tired ships for my E-4 runs, so I'm not sure.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11610261
Did you send ships with positive fatigue at least?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11610275
I made sure the Mamiya icon isn't flashing when I sent them out, and then once more after they come back. The only recorded sinking I have is me purposely pushing onward into the boss node with ships in red hp. They're all safe and sound, don't worry about that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11610280
I asked because I was wondering what the possible cause of those alleged orange sinkings was. Perhaps it's due to positive fatigue? People have reported using throwaways as tests but those likely don't have any fatigue either. But since you ensured your ships didn't have any fatigue before sortieing, I still don't know if that's the case or not.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11610285

I thought that a level 37 DD wouldn't do much in this event, but Kisaragi went ahead and tore E4 to shreds anyway. Kiso likewise never used her damage control despite pushing on with red every other boss run, and even after having to give her damage control to the Kongo sisters, she was steadfast. As expected from my first DD and CL crafts.

I regret risking them over some trophy I didn't particularly need, though, so I won't do E5. I couldn't care less about Musashi, and I need the E1/E3 drops more anyway.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11610393
It sounds like DDs are outperforming CAs in E-4.

Did you sink the boss with DDs in your fleet? How many sanshiki?

I might replace one of my ships with Yukikaze.

I'm sorry, but I can't take this anymore. It's time to send some DD to Valhalla in order to clear E-4.

Look at her face and tell her you're going to sacrifice her to pass E-4.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11610404
I replaced Kisaragi for Yamashiro in the final run, which was unintentional since Kisaragi was fatigued at the time and I had swapped in Yamashiro until she recovered. I had four type-3 ammo in total, 3 on BBs and 1 on a CA.

Replacing a BB with a DD in the earlier runs is heavily recommended, since E4 is all about how many consecutive runs you can afford to do, and the low maintenance costs of DDs really shine in this situation. I'd keep the CAs, though, since they allow BB-like performance with a third of the repair costs of BBs.

I know your pain and then some, Teitoku. My final push to clear E4 yesterday took some 12+ hours to finish from roughly 50% health. That also doesn't include the 2-3 days prior where I had to leave the boss at 1/4th health to regen back on me because I ran out of resources.

A friend talked me into using the SS/DD cheese/chip, and I'm glad he did because I eventually farmed up enough fuel to go for the sink with the main fleet while getting the boss within sink range. However, I did feel bad about throwing away all those DDs but they died for the greater good and I will never forget their sacrifices ;_;7

I see, though if I had to choose between raising the ship cap and the docks I'd choose the ship cap since I try to take care of at least one of every kanmusu. I still don't have some of the rare ones and I'm already being forced to modernize every few sorties, it's quite annoying. Getting the docks saves you some buckets though, especially if you have ships to switch between but buckets aren't normally an issue outside of events. Anyway, just one admiral's opinion.

[Anonymous No.]

So why do people go back to E-3 to grind for rare ships? E-5 is pretty easy and I think has a better chance for rare ships.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11610999
This is my team. The main problem is that if the compass fucks with me, or if my team doesn't attack the boss, or someone gets crit, then the dents on my carriers means I have to use a shitload of buckets if I want to try again any time soon and have a decent chance of making it.

Also, I have a lot of green planes equipped, perhaps this is a mistake?

Eh really?
1BB 2CLT 2CV 1CVL is almost 100% boss node for E3 and easy S rank.

The problem with E5 is getting sent to NE and avoiding getting crit to red at the 2nd node. In E5 you also have the problem of surviving day battle without anyone hitting red.

Also try eqiupping your Atago for night battle, in my case it's always Shimakaze who kills the boss if it ends up in a night battle.

Perhaps. I should probably trade KTKM with Atago at least. I have Akagi at the top because crit magnet. Usually if I make it to night battle with the boss and my night battle ships are above orange, then there isn't too much of a problem anyway. It's just the huge resource drain - I may be able to take out the boss, but there's no way I can farm this shit at the moment.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11611008
I didn't have any problems with E-3 and my team was about 10 levels lower than yours, on average.I was running a similar set-up too. Try green planes in biggest slot for air superiority. People were mixed on red and blue planes, but I found that putting both was best. Other then that, just retreat if you go N and you should be fine?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11611054
Hmm, so it probably is mainly that I suck at choosing equipment. I get sent along the north route like 4 out of 5 times though.

[Anonymous No.]

Has anyone noticed particular patterns from your kanmusu? My Kongou almost always aims for the top most enemy ship of the weakest class. Haruna aims for the highest priority target other than the enemy flagship unless an enemy successfully hits a teammate before her turn then she decides to hit that. Yuudachi, Shimakaze, and Murakumo normally targets the enemy flagship.

Hmm. That might just be RNG, unless I'm missing something. I was running CVL - BB - CLT - CA - 2CV, and I was going south much more than north.

Could be dependent on the exact ships or weird shit like that. Given that they have requirements for 2 kongou class and such in the later maps.

Anyway, changing up my equipment seemed to help a bit, and I realized I was doing some pretty dumb things itemwise. At least I managed to kill her so that I can go to sleep. Getting Agano still seems impossible though, given that it took about 30 buckets and I only killed the boss about 4 times throughout my attempts.

Never retreated due to route, aside from getting compass trolled after the pre-boss node.

Still think it's better to Line Ahead since it's easy to score OHKOs and dead enemies equal fewer attacks.

This might interest some of you. Fire control systems in warships.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_gun_fire-control_system
> The Aichi Clock Company first produced the Type 92 Shagekiban Low Angle analog computer in 1932. The USN Rangekeeper and the Mark 38 GFCS had an edge over Imperial Japanese Navy systems in operability and flexibility. The US system allowing the plotting room team to quickly identify target motion changes and apply appropriate corrections. The newer Japanese systems such as the Type 98 Hoiban and Shagekiban on the Yamato class were more up to date, which eliminated the Sokutekiban, but it still relied on 7 operators. In contrast to US radar aided system, the Japanese relied on averaging optical rangefinders, lacked gyros to sense the horizon, and required manual handling of follow-ups on the Sokutekiban, Shagekiban, Hoiban as well as guns themselves.
> This could have played a role in Center Force’s battleships dismal performance in the Battle off Samar in October 1944.[11] In that action, destroyers pitted against the world's largest armored battleships and cruisers dodged shells to within torpedo firing range, while lobbing hundreds of accurate automatically aimed 5 inch rounds on target. Cruisers did not land hits on splash-chasing escort carriers until after an hour of pursuit to close within 5 miles. Although the Japanese pursued a doctrine of achieving superiority at long gun ranges, one cruiser fell victim to secondary explosions caused by hits from within the range of carrier-based single "peashooter" 5 inch (127 mm) guns. Eventually with the aid of hundreds of carrier based aircraft, a battered center force was turned back just before it could have finished off survivors of the lightly armed task force of screening escorts and escort carriers of Taffy 3. The Battle of the Surigao Strait established the clear superiority of US radar-assisted systems at night.

I have as much problems as E4:
30 sorties, only reached the boss 7 times, sent to NE 6 times and the rest was critical out of nowhere in either node 1 or 2, leading to red zone.
And what's worse? Never dealt more than 180 dmg on the boss, either because of the trash or random miss.

I always push even with orange HP, but this map already ate me already 7K ressources and 68 buckets for not even a long bar of the HP boss.

And here I thought E5 wouldn't have this stupid crit festival issue, I guess RNG goddess just said nope.

So I've just failed at completing E-5. I thought having 12k ammo would be enough considering that's all I used for E-4, but I really underestimated the ammo costs.

Feels frustrating knowing that I'll have to save up more resources to try again next week. Shouldn't have gotten cocky just because I beat E-4.

In all likelihood, people won't even use I-8 or Musashi all that much. There's no point risking your ships over a trophy that will eventually be craftable anyway.

I can see rushing into E5 if you really like Musashi's design or have enough resources/damage controls/fleet levels to clear it without breaking a sweat, but most admirals should consider whether the prospect of a rare but seldom-used prize is worth risking the precious shipdaughters who kept you company for months.

Doing E4. I've been finding that it's better to stack the triple 15.5cm secondary than 1 red one yellow on CA. When I run with 3x triple 15.5, I can get near guaranteed kill at the preboss nodes, whereas the cut-in can fail.

Moreover, I am starting to think that the damage done on the airfield boss is AA rating + dmg rating. This makes Maya more important than the kongous rolling 46cm...

Place her in the flagship spot. Both the protection from hits and the 1.5x experience multiplier are great for leveling new ships.

Level 10+ is not that big an issue, your A-team will likely start forming around level 30-40 and small experience differences don't matter much at that stage. After that, your main fleet's levels tend to stay around each other, unless you swap out one to include a new, rare ship (like a Nagato-class) that you've recently gotten.

Kitakami is more than capable of holding her own once you get her first remodel and equip her with a midget submarine. In fact, many admirals have either Kitakami or Ooi as their highest (or second-highest, if they favor a particular ship as their secretary) level ship, mostly because their high-damage pre-emptive torpedoes allow consistent MVPs against many maps and almost all 1-ship PvP fleets.

It would be ideal to place Yuudachi at your flagship spot and allow Kitakami to level slowly, since she'll catch up very rapidly once she gains her remodels.

I did it maybe 6 or 7 times and haven't had them go down, so I'm pretty confident in taking one or two ships into night battle. If you have more, then I would advise backing out, as it's unlikely you'll deal much damage with only your remaining ships attacking.

My one repair crew was used up in a day battle against the boss on Haruna; I decided to go into night battle regardless and panicked when a cut-in popped up to attack Haruna. Luckily, it missed.

This is my E-4 clear; I took turbines over damage control as the boss stage only counts as one 'phase' for the Night>Day battle whereas E-5 boss is two 'phases' for Day>Night. Equipment for the most part is the same, except with mini-subs on Kitakami/Ooi for extra damage on E-5 Boss day battle and damage control. One radar is used to reduce ammo loss on whirlpool node.

E-4 took about 4-4.5 hours, and E-5 took 5-6 hours. The costs were roughly the same, 12k/10k/9k vs 12k/10k/13k fuel/ammo/steel for E-4 and E-5 respectively. I guess I had Kongou/Haruna crit more often on E-5, resulting in the higher steel costs. I'd definitely prepare 20-25k of each resource to be prepared, even though it may take you less; as you really, really want to avoid running out of resources while trying to finish the boss off for the clear.

Every E5 clear I've seen has the 2 torp sisters in the fleet. I'm a bit worried since I only have a 80 ktkm. I also only have 1 CA (60 mogami). Do you think I'll need to level my ooi? Or just roll with yuudachi/isuzu, 73 and 69 respectively?

[Anonymous No.]

It is recommended to have 2 of them because E5 boss node starts out during the day.
With 2preemp torpedo and air support you can wipe out half of the enemy before the battle start.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11613509
Kitakami/Ooi are highly desired due to their incredible torpedo statistic. Apparently it's been discussed that base torpedo stat factors into night damage even with the use of guns, so Kitakami/Ooi are highly preferred over anything else.

If your Ooi is severely underlevelled and you don't think you can make it past her level 50 remodel and beyond, then it's probably a better idea to simply roll with what you have; whereas if she's relatively close to 50 then it may be worthwhile to raise her up to 55+.

The underlying theory is that if your ship is fatigued, it is easier for them to take a critical hit. It takes a real critical hit for your ships to sink. If it's a scratch damage when your ship is at 1/X, it'll be reflected as a miss.

It's not that your ships aren't sinking at red when you advance to a new battle, it's just that they're lucky in taking only scratch damage which can't sink them.

Actually sinking, even if you enter a new node at red, is fairly rare.

DDs also seem to have some innate resistance to cut-in attacks. They routinely take only single target damage. Doesn't seem to be tied to evasion stat either, since my Kongo 2 with +10 boiler has around the same evasion as a DD and twice the armor, but still gets hit for 40-60 damage regularly.

Took 13 hours, 11590 fuel, 10487 steel, 3771 ammo, 94 buckets, and 0 emergency repair.

It took 45 attempts with 10 attempts reaching the boss. I sunk the boss on the first attempt and the last two. Her health bar actually wasn't even depleted on the last attempt and I pushed with three ships in orange and one ship in red.

I didn't shine my ships or use a support fleet but I did wait for their fatigue to clear every time.

Suzuya lv47, Yuudachi lv58, Yukikaze lv45, Kitakami lv71, Ooi lv74, Hiei lv57, Haruna lv71 all contributed.

I ran expeditions 2 and 5 the entire time. Most of the time my fleet was either 2DD, 1CA, 1CT, 2BB or 2DD, 2CT, 2BB. The final sink was 1CA, 1DD, 2CT, 2BB.

If there's something I learned it's that you need to suck it up and risk those emergency repairs if you want any chance of reaching the boss. If only one ship is red before the boss, you should push. The ships at the boss aren't as scary as the two nodes before it anyway.

It doesn't cost a lot of ammo to run E-4, I lost 10k worth of fuel and 11k steel but only used up around 4k ammo.

Only got diverted SW 3 times out of my 40+ attempts too, I suspect it has to do with the overall hp of your fleet but that's another story.

I'm not sure why you abandoned the DDs so quickly. Unlike BBs and CAs, the seem to be able to absorb the brunt of enemy CA cut-ins. Or maybe that's just Yukikaze.

And just a note, the phrase is "takeaway message".

[Anonymous No.]

>>11613853
Seems like you should expect a 20% chance of reaching the boss.

>>11613917
Maybe, and also luck. There was that one guy that got 3 Aganos in 200 sorties, but I know someone that got Shokaku, Maikaze, and Agano from just clearing E-3.

Reminder that destroyers historically achieved the most success of the IJN, and at night battle.

Just carry on, you get more fuel when you're below cap anyway, and the boss won't stop regenerating.

CA performance was fucking shit for me.
Used up 2damage control, unable to handle more than 1hit before going red and never targeting the boss.
My chipping run on the boss with 4DD/CLT was fucking great until I needed to put in CA again for the final kill.

tl;dr CA a shit
Cant wait for the event to end so that I can put them out of their misery.

really? must be an aussie thing to say then. I just heard it on the news a few months back. I wasn't seeing high numbers. mostly glancing blows from yuki/shimakaze. They're high evasion and yukikaze's high luck didn't do anything either. In the end, i had to cut my losses.

>>11613933
I only ran one the entire time and she was responsible for sending me back over 50% of the time before I swapped her out for a second DD. I reached the boss more often after that.

Once I had to kill the boss I swapped her back in but she really didn't contribute anything. The CT and BB are what killed the boss in the end. I'm tempted to say CA are overrated in E-4 but I also know I got really lucky.

>>11613935
Destroyers are cheap to deploy so it doesn't hurt to keep trying. For what it's worth, I ran 10cmx2 and they had no problems killing things. The battleships on the other hand sucked ass in every non-boss node both offensively and defensively. I wish I didn't have to run them.

Everything is situational. Destroyers and light cruisers excel at night battling along with sub hunting. Subs are great at farming maps on their own or in groups while maintaining low resource costs. Heavy cruisers and battleships can pretty much do anything but hit subs. Carriers pack great firepower but don't work at night.

Two of the most important ships in the game are Kitakami and Ooi so I'd suggest looking out for them.

Kitakami and Ooi deal ridiculius dmg at night due to their torp stats, so they outdamage CA by a huge margin.

Also, you need specific equip setup for the double attack, which denies you the use of repair team. Thats also why some people put Kitakami and Ooi in the first 2 slots for E4 and E5 to quickly destroy trash on non boss nodes.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11614303
The general idea is to make it through the first three nodes without anyone hitting red and maybe with less than 2 ships entering orange from cut-ins or critical hits to set yourself up for a good attempt on the boss. Support fleet generally isn't used for E-4.

>>11614305
Yeah, I've gotten 2 bars down so far, it just makes me want to cry when I see them start a cut in.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11614309
Have you tried bringing in more CAs? Cut-ins/combos seems to hit CAs for very little damage, regardless of source. Supposedly they also get a defense boost at night.

But yeah, my experience with E4 was basically throwing your fleet at the boss again and again and again until you finally luck out and she dies.

I only killed the boss twice and I tried for two whole days. Only kills were during battles where one of my Kongous decided to target the boss. It's all luck.

And I actually beat E-4 with that second kill. Now gathering back my lost resources for E-5.

I've been chipping away for like the past 5 days by sitting on her boss screen so she doesn't regen while I get resources back slowly, which I think is surreptitiously skull-fucking me somehow. What I deserve I suppose.

Just don't give up. I honestly thought I wouldn't make it once I was down to 5K resources after starting with 24K fuel 30K steel and 32K ammo but somehow I made a miracle happen. My composition and equips were like adviced too, and my ships around level 70, but I'm just fucking unlucky.

Also when I beat E-4, it transitioned into day battle since I'd killed the boss first, and the bar actually came back with a little bit of red in it! But seems it was just a graphic bug since it did award me with Hachi and enty to E-5 at the end.

Sorry for the blogpost, The wiki was kind of cague regarding this, if one of my daughter's gets crit on a random node but she was full health and not fatigued before the sortie began, is it impossible for her to sink? Or does it need to be before the node that she is in good condition.Only asking because I keep canceling my sorties halfway through whenever one of them is low.

Maybe it's an /a/ term?

No. I was usually sent back in the first few nodes where a repair wouldn't help anyway. I've seen videos where repairs weren't used, though.

I've seen someone clear it with level 1s, doesn't prove that it's wise to actually try that but, hey, it's possible! If you just get lucky enough, clearing it with only CVs is probably possible too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11614993
If she ends a battle in critical health and you send her into another battle, she will very likely get sunk, regardless of fatigue.
If she was fine/orange (health, not fatigue) when starting the battle, then enters night combat in red... she will probably not get sunk, or at least I've never had one happen.
Dunno about fatigue though, I always sparkle every girl prior to sorting, even on event maps.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11614993
that's not a blogpost, it's a stupid question.
Those things work on a per battle-basis, not on a per-sortie basis. Details on when a ship can be sunk or if going into night battle counts as a different battle are still not 100% clear.
No one wants to test this for obvious reasons.

[Anonymous No.]

I can't imagine how many more attempts it would take without repairs. I had at least 1 heavily damaged ship in almost every successful run on E-4. Turbines definitely don't make up that much of a difference.

I just barely cleared E5 with 150 buckets and 16k resources. To those Teitokus who are struggling, here are some tips I found out the hard way.

1. Make sure to have the correct expedition support fleet composition. I used 2DD+2CVL red planes and then 2DD+2CVL+2BB for the boss kill. I tried all blue planes but they seemed to miss more.
2. Don't bother with damcons. There is only 2 fairly easy nodes. Advance with orange without fear. Fill the slots with sanshikidans or more radars.
3. I noticed a definite difference between a fully sparkled fleet and a non one. At the beginning I tried to rush but ended up eating crits every sortie, hence my 150 bucket use. With sparkles, against cutins, my girls were merely scratch damaged or brought down to only orange.
4. Hardest hitters last. I can't stress this enough. Trust your girls in the last night battle. I am now firmly in the "won't sink if entered battle orange" camp. However note that I sparkled before every sortie.

Good luck

1 DD, 2 BB, 1 CA, 2 CLT.
Typical 2x46cm or 20.3+15.5; type-3; radar/repair on heavier ships. Midgets and 15.5s on CLTs. Yukikaze stacked with quint and 53cm torpedoes.

Support for last few runs: 2DD, 2CVL.
Tried both all Ryuusei Kai and Suisei kai-2 and got similar results. Two floaters sunk and the rest got scratched.

>>11615170
When the 4BB setup shows up (only red guns on all of them) I usually get the 2 flying fortress dead and a solid hit on one of the Himes + a small dent on the boss if I'm lucky.

2BB and 2CVL sounds much more sustainable though, since they don't always show up and I don't always reach the boss node.
AND it costs 450 ammo a pop, my breakthrough fleet doesn't even use that much bullets.

What was the method of preventing the boss timer from counting down? Just remain at the win/lose screen after fighting it once?

Kind of chipping away at E-3, since I do well if I get sent south and to the boss, but worse when I get sent north or if they troll me. But clearing it in one day is not likely.

Doesn't work for E-3 since the boss won't say anything to you at the beginning. That's where you're supposed to wait so it won't regen.

>>11615264
The main point is that it's cheaper. A lot cheaper considering baux means nothing in this event. It definitely is not as good as BB fleets but not that much worse. I used it for the full E-5 run (both whittling the gauge and the final run) and kept the ammo/fuel usage below what most people reported.

>Kitakami and Ooi; Level 10 remodel into a torpedo cruiser allows them to carry midget submarines called Type A Ko-hyoteki (甲標的甲) which let you do preemptive torpedo attacks on the enemy.

Okay thanks, is she worth using without the Type A ko-hyoteki? Considering her main damage comes from torpedos and she has a very small amount of firepower now.

I do use them, but I'm an inexperienced admiral compared to other anons here.

Her second remodel is worth using in the event maps without the minisub because her combined firepower and torp stats are off the charts at night. However, in any sort of day battle you want it equipped.

How do you low level fuckers get all these ships I would have killed for. Hell, I still don't have Shokaku and Imuya.

And pretty much none of those are useful in E-2. Most people clear it with destroyers, torpedo cruisers, and light cruisers with the occasional sixth slot carrier to try and force day battle with.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11615996
Destroyers, Heavy/Light/Torpedo Cruisers or Submarines. You're only hurting yourself when you're running Battleships on that map. Since E-2 is are mostly night battles, Destroyers and Cruisers are definitely the ones you should use since they're more useful in night battles than Battleships.

Hey guys. Just managed to beat E4 with a rather lowbie team.
The team sparkles.
No support fleet expedition.

Total time: 7 hours in all.
Total attempts: 24.
Resource at start: 64670/73236/71260/68805
Resource at end: 57609/67825/66376/69885
Net Consumption: 07061/05411/04884/(1080)

Max. consumption per sortie: 256/433

5 hours to zero the health bar, by 17th attempt.
2 hours to achieve S finish at boss node.

12/24 times that the team made it to boss.


Setup:
CA: 2x 15.5 triple mount, type 3, dmgctrl
BB: 2x 46cm, 1x 15.5cm, 1x type 3
SS: 1x 53cm bow oxygen torp, 1x 61cm quad oxygen torp


Just want to say that you do not need to even be at lvl 50s to beat this. My team was all in their 30s and 40s to start. Iku just 2-3 all day every day to get to her level.

you lucked out then, E-4 is RNGs playground, my fleet of 70s spent somethink like 18 hours, and 20k+ of fuel/ammo/steel, most of it after she was already at empty because i couldnt get 2 ships to shoot her in the same sortie.

>>11616184
get her to 70 first imo, SSV leveling rate drops severely once they remodel due to the double repair time and 50-70 seems to be slump levels for subs.

i'm currently paying the price. I accidentally lost my imuya, but got a goya after 3 crafts. So i've been double sub farming 2-3 nonstop to try and get another. So far all my crafting attempts for ANYTHING nets me a heavy cruiser. seeing 400/130/600/30 being dumped for a heavy cruiser or 250/130/200/30 for a light/heavy cruiser is really depressing.

[Anonymous No.]

Sorry for the noob question(just started 2 days ago)
I got Goya and unlocked 2-4 so far.
apparently people are soloing 2-3 and 2-4 with her getting As.
But when I try to do the same, I'm just getting Ds.
Am I doing something wrong here? Should I level her up to some point before she can pull it off? or do I need certain equips?

You should progress through the game normally since you'll need those other ships leveled anyway. You're just unnecessarily tanking your win/loss rate. And there's no excuse since you have E-1 as a stepping stone.

you mean 3-3? she drops from node A there somewhat often.

>>11616306
You will also need to level your ships to get through E-2 and E-3. Honestly, ships that can do 2-4 should get through E-2, although you will find E-2 to be even more hair pulling than 2-4 ever is.

>>11616306
Well yeah I'm leveling my other ships too, but since I got goya I would like to level her up aswell to include her in my fleet later on

[Anonymous No.]

>>11616309
Haven't gotten over 2-4, compass keeps throwing me north. So i've just been farming 2-3 for experience and drops that never happen. I've given up on heavy crafting investments, as that merely makes me pretty upset seeing the 1:25:00 or the 1:30:00 timers. I just have a huge army of heavy cruisers, and only 1 battleship to show for it. I just hope to get to 3-2 to grind all my ships up later.

This gives me something to do while I wait for tera queue pops at least.

if your goya is level 30+ take her solo to 2-4, i did it with Imuya around that level and she cleared 2-4 on her 3rd try.

BBs drop often from 3-2 and you really need 4 and 2 CVs to take 2-4 the hard way.

as for BB recipie, try 400/30/600/30, its how i got Nagato, the 130 ammo you are using is probably boosting the cruiser build chance instead of helping your BB build chance.

>>11616331
still saving for E-5, going to stockpile for another few days seeing as E-4 cleaned me out rather badly.

[Anonymous No.]

It's just RNG sending me the other way, or a random DD hit of 10.

I think i've tried the 400/30/600/30 recipe about 15 times so far, only gotten hiei, and a billion cruisers. I wish I could get another BB. Seeing all the people saying kongou on first craft etc sucks and makes me realize how stupid I am for losing my sub.

i'll probably try 2-4 again when I hit 35-40ish.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm sorry for being a noob but how does the 2-3 solo sub thing work?

Do you guys just send her to 2-3 to tank all damage then repair, rinse and repeat action kind of thing?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11616356
There is no need to waste resources on kongous. Just beat 2-4 with your CA or with ise or kusou sisters even if you dont like them. You just need to have 2CV/L with blue planes and you can usually reach the boss node without much damage. You can also include ktkm and she will also take out 1scrub during the preempt phase. CA can then clean up the boss during night time.
You can easily get all 4kongous in a few day at 3-2.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11616331
I'm skipping out on E5, but I didn't stockpile much for this event either, so I'll probably only have 30k-40k of resources and 200 buckets to play with. Nothing good so far on 20ish clears.

My carriers are all low-level though, so E6 will be good for getting them up to par.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11616369
I seriously still don't get it, because my Iku just pretty much takes more than she can handle on the first node and I have to retreat already.

Or is that a normal thing?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11616375
I prefer dual subs myself but solo sub is perfectly fine too.

It might be the levels. I have 7 Imuyas on rotation and it seems that around level 40, if you don't get T-cross advantage, the chances of Imuya actually getting orange damage is pretty low. I run Goya, Iku and Hachi on flagship and equip all of them with one torpedo.

I'd assume the drop rate for Hatsukaze is higher than where she usually drops due to it being an event map (or it's the same), and a chance at Agano as well.

Man, you're lucky. S ranked the boss on first try but now I'm just being randomly crit to red or sent NE. Boss gauge is almost full thanks to 3 hours of RNG trolling.

Judging by the four remaining slots left, we're going to get one more DD remodel for 146 (a level 65 remodel, if it follows a pattern with Yuudachi, Shigure, and Bep) and one more BB remodel for 150.

139 and 140 are probably going to be new ships.

I don't even know if I should waste my resources trying or just hunt for new ships, the two days I've tried I had shit RNG luck.

Yeah you are right.
Basically just keep trying, just sparkled to clear your fatigue. I just got sent to NE again, goddammit.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11616865
I'm sparkling them all the time but getting 4 ships crit to orange and red in the first node is very demoralizing. There's also that part where my resources and the last 5 hours being wasted.

Sometimes I wonder how people managed to clear it under 5.

What's the point of min/maxing when there's no actual pvp combat anyway?

whats the use of the XX mm AA guns if 12.7cm greens are plentiful and gives fleetwide protection VS planes AND adds slight FP and accuracy

[Anonymous No.]

>>11616993
It's explained in the wiki.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11616998
The wiki says non dual purpose AA guns only protect the user which seems like a direct downgrade from dual purpose guns.

fyi, E5 drops Goya
Also small sample size but apparently line ahead formation fare better against cutin compare to line abreast.

I wonder what the October reward would be. Anyone know when they give out these rewards typically?

[Anonymous No.]

had a good run in E4 for 4 hours. got it to 30%. then it happened. 1-1 runs no longer giving sparkle consistently. first node red crits on the one non DC cruiser. going SW when a perfect run. Doing no damage to boss as only 5 attacks and they kill all shit units.
bar is 30% and still regenerating. god save me if i dont kill myself. it is 1 28 am and i feel like throwing up.

Tried 2-2 but it was hell-ish, going to try 2-3
I also noticed that my sub started to get hit more often when I remodeled them.
...or maybe RNG is just screwing with me.

Haven't tried 2-4. Trying to use less resources as I still have to clear event maps
