/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Holy shit fuck off moot

Literally destroyed all the threads on this board

Stay alive please

Great time to start a new thread.

Probably not the best time to have the new thread right now, given how moot just unleashed everyone else to /jp/

Have faith on your ship daughters.

>>11467864
>gay weeb shit

fucking die

>>11467864
so what is this shit and why should i care?

/vg/ then? Or should we have a hiatus for now until this blows over?

>>11468281
>281
>/vg/ then? Or should we have a hiatus for now un
why not go and raid the other boards?

Just wait until the retards are tired.

>>11468352
Says the virgin pedo lol

>>11468281
Just wait until it dies down.

>>11467864
where do i start with... uh.. whatever it is you guys do here because apparently it's not anime

Fuck off new /b/ weebs.

Yeah this will blow over soon enough. Fuck you moot.

Wow, this thread is the final pulse of what's left of /jp/

>>11468281
Letting the thread die or letting OP delete it might be a good idea.

>>11467864
I'm sure /a/ is willing to take care of you guys until it blows over.

/a/ here, just come to our Kancolle thread.

>>11468600
OP is actually watching us.

We should just go on /vg/ or /a/.

I didn't even like /jp/. "which 2hu wuld yu fug", "Cirno baka sakuya's pads lol" and fart threads aren't that interesting.

>>11468598
moot just killed jp

>>11468031
Isn't that /tv/ or /co/

>>11468964
Then leave. If kancolle go to /a/, it would be image-dumped to death, if it's on /vg/, it will be filled with tripfags. /jp/ is pretty much a middle-ground.

>>11467864
I warned you all, but it was too late....my warning was blown away like shit in the wind.

>>11469217
The purge is happening.

>>11468964

>>11469931
Not quite yet.
Anyway just a bump to keep up with the pace.

why is uk relevant enough to get their own ship and be one of the most popular

were america

/a/ here we said come to the thread and not make a new one

Who /v/ here?

>>11470166
I wish /v/ to leave.

Well, there's always /bun/

OP, may as well delete the threads until the shitstorm is over.

>>11470237
OP here. I'll delete the /a/ threads after this shit is over

We should probably just clean up the pastebin and put all the links in the pastebin


I don't even know why the vita link is there

Well while we're at it, might as well start compiling the FAQ in this shitstorm to make the thread float.

>>11470304
You can't delete your own thread, dingus.

Fuck off

Well, I was playing MH4 for the past hour, so I must have missed it all. Was wondering why the thread died when I came back.

>>11470547
/jp/ raid happens.

>>11470408
good idea.

it's people like you that are prime examples of why this shit doesn't belong here in the first place

Thanks, I'll check it out :^)

oooh i didn't know this was the official blog/shitpost thread

today i was playing my new video games and it was really fun~ ^_^
>>11470867
btw ur gay LOL


>>11470847
ooooh i can post porn too??? its censored so its fine hehehe

Now's a good a time as ever to work on those character line pages, I guess.

>>11471133
You have those on the other secret wiki no one visits, right?

So how the hell do people level their ships so much? Pic related is my main fleet but when I fight against other people with the same level as me half of their ships are 20 levels above mine.

Is there some sort of trick to gaining exp for ships without gaining exp for your T-level?

Alright first draft. Apologies if I fail on being humourous.

Probably need an image where the buttons ingame are translated. Will work on
that later.

For interested parties and new admirals:

>Is it p2w?
No. There's no endgame (other than collecting all the ships which
means you have to pay to expand your dock) or competition unless you're easily
butthurt over other players who have put in more love* and time than you.
Resources can be hoarded and collected at your own pace and there's no rush at all. At most, you can say this is a 'pay to not wait' game.

*TL note: Hating money is love

>How do I get in?
In short, you would first need a DMM account and a VPN to register for the
game. The following wiki links should be enough:
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Tutorial:_Proxy_Connection
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Tutorial:_How_to_Register

>I notice all this terminlogies, CA, CVL, CV, etc:
We are following the hull classifications.
DD - Destroyers
CL - Light Crusiers
CA - Heavy Cruisers
CVL - Light Aircraft Carriers
CV - Aircraft carriers
AS - Submarine tender (Do any of us use this?)
BB - Battleship
AV - Seaplane Tender / Seaplane carriers

(Can't find classification for Aviation BB and Aviation cruisers.)

>And how about w/x/y/z?
Fuel/ammo/steel/bauxite
green/yellow/gray/brown

>>11472293

>Alright, I built my ship, kick some ass and I notice the orange faces. What's
up with that?
Fatigue. It's accumulated when you sent your ships to sortie and its stacked
through subsequent sortie. How much fatigue accumulated depends on the
performance in battle. When you see the faces, let them rest for a while
(orange: 10-11 mins, red: 21-40mins). Docking would help as well. Note: The
higher the fatigue, the more probable it is to sink.

The inverse of fatigue is glitter which promises boost to stats (?) and last
indefinitely until the next sortie/practice/expedition

>Oh, and how about expedition?
You need a second fleet. Which can be activated in the 'Quest' section:
1) Complete 「水雷戦隊」を編成せよ！which requires a light cruiser as the flagship and
destroyers filling the rest.
2) Complete 6隻編成の艦隊を編成せよ！ which is basically, filling all slots in the fleet
with ships.
3) Remember to check the quest to fulfil it.

>My ship sank.
Print her picture, frame it, burn an incense paper and ring a bicycle bell
because you're not getting her back unless you found another copy oh her but
you and I know, it will never be the same.

Or you could equip the emergency repair (応急修理要員) on her. You can get some by
completing quests or you could purchase some from the cash shop.

>>11472326

>How does it work?
Ships equipped with 応急修理要員 will be revived to 1HP once they sank and be
invulnerable throughout the battle. Note: Night battle and day battle are
considered seperate. However, it's a one-time use, so use it very, very
carefully.

>I want ship X, Y, Z, etc.
(Need help on this, I only know the basics)
Follow this recipes:
Any BB: 400/30/600/30
Shimakaze/Yukikaze: 250/30/250/30
Aircraft carriers: 300/30/400/300

>I got Naka-chan.
Tough luck. Those recipies are 'safe' in the sense, they are most probable in
terms of crafting the ships you want. Other than that, everything else is fair
game.

>Does level or ship count?
Currently, no. It does not. Crafting ships are independent to your stats and
only dependent on the amount of resources you pumped in, apparently.

>Is it really important to craft equipments?
Not really until you're level 20. You can try, but don't expect the really rare
ones that we are masturbating to. Even higher level admirals are pulling their
pubic hair in frustration.

>>11472280
Excessive practice matches and grinding. Ships generally grow faster than you can gain your T-levels. Also, there was a strategy back then which is basically sending a lone ship through 1-1 and grind the shit out of her. Being MVP+flagship+S-rank means that she is forever in glitter state and before the flagship update, you can forever grind them without getting sent back despite being in red.

>>11472339
250/30/200/30 is pretty popular for the rarer light crafts and subs.

Oh and FAQ anon here, what else do we need to add for newcomers?

>>11472366
About crafting item, expedition requirement (level, etc), and furniture.

Something about equipment order and anti-air, I remember that being asked quite a bit.

And maybe something about torpedoes and accuracy.

>>11472366

>>11472398
Somebody do the equipment stuff, I am not very sure how that works as well. All I know are green on second slot = AA bonus, 4th slot doesn't see action, 46cm is always AA bonus.

>>11472406
>torpedoes and accuracy
I am not aware of that, sorry. Please elaborate.

>>11472293
>>11472326
>>11472339
>Is it p2w?

I believe it's not neccessary to explain those.i'd rather have question about:

>Color-coded guns
>Color-coded planes
>gun stacking and its effect on accuracy
>weapon placement (high angle gun on the first slot,etc)
>requirement to unlock fleet slot

>>11472478
Oh, and create the page first. preferably named as Tutorial:FAQ

>>11472293
>Can't find classification for Aviation BB and Aviation cruisers
BBV and CAV.

There's also CT for torpedo cruisers and SS for submarines.

They're in the expedition image guide linked in the pastebin.

>>11472496
It's not like space is limited. Better to be thorough than not.

>>11472640
i believe he's referring to real life classification and the wikipedia page.

>>11472783
Doesn't really matter as long as we can find a common ground to communicate.

>>11472496
>preferably named as Tutorial:FAQ
I'll try. It's gonna be very butt ugly though as this is my first time doing such a thing.

Most of the questions you posted are kinda out of my range, perhaps when the page is up, someone could go correct it or put it here so I could get modify it.

I've been playing for a day, so the following will probably count as 'typical' newbie questions. Didn't list those already covered. I did check the wiki/found out answers to some already though.

>Requirements for expedition: is it only fleet composition, or does the ship health/ammo/fuel count to success?
>When modernizing and equipping guns, stack one stat or spread them out (related to what happens to the upgrades when remodel)
>What ships are 'counters' e.g. destroyers against subs
>Effective leveling strategy: Better to go on a map which you basically 1shot everything and don't take much damage but get less xp, or tougher enemies/more xp/more time and fuel used
>Sample fleet compositions to help fuel economy early when fuel is hard to get

All I know about this is how desperately I want to have sex with Shimakaze.

>>11472927
おぅ

Oh and a couple more questions:

>How does the flagship 'protection' of other ships when being hit work?
>Effects of each formation

Now that the raid is over, I can repost this. Three pages smashed together to save image spaces.

>>11473443
There was a raid earlier? Gawd.

>>11473443
I don't get your typesetting

>>11473181
Effects of each formation is summarised on the wiki though. Flagship protection is based on the various formation

Does yellow gun helped the general accuracy of your ship, or does it only affect when that weapon is activated.

>>11473746
It's a general stat so it affects the ship as a whole

What the fuck happened. I was asleep. What did moot do.

>>11473885
Moot proclaimed /jp/ as the new /b/. Shit hit the fans and splatter everywhere. Kancolle thread got pushed off instantly and mass purging everywhere.

>>11473932
Then you guys have my condolences. That fucking sucks.

>>11473951
At least it had calmed down now. It was really, really bad when it first happened.

Oh and I'm done: http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Tutorial:_FAQ Be gentle

There's still a lot of things that are not clear, would help if people could clarify:
>AA phase.
I know we had been through this. Can we clarify it again? I stated that AA on second and third slot has a higher chance of activiating AA bonus. That's correct right? How about secondary guns?
>Bombing phase
Blue and red bombers participate in any runs (bombing phase, artillery phase, etc), right? The more you have, the higher your damage count, but how much? Blue>red = more damage in bombing phase and less damage in artillery phase?

I think there are more questions left in the FAQ. Will edit upon new information. But for now, I hope this will do.

>>11473997
>AA phase
There's no "higher chance" to activate on any slots, just that it won't activate on the 4th slot. Lots of discussion about this on jp wiki and that was what most agreed on.

>Bombing phase
Yeah, blue and red participates in the bombing phase, green shoots other planes down during that phase as well. Technically, the more blues/reds you have, the higher dmg and more target youre torps/bombing hit, but it's still a chance factor (prolly rng), Say you can have 4 blues but still only 1 torp shoot out for eg.

>>11474003
I heard that reds are more durable than blues but blues deal more damage, that;s correct, right?

>>11474010
There was one picture that compile damage comparison between reds and blues and confirm the damage difference. Not sure about the durability, though.

>>11474010
Regarding damage, probably need more data other than from me, but what I noticed was torpedo seem to crit for higher damage than bombing do, and bombing accuracy seems to be better than torpedos for me. This is purely from Kaga and Shokaku equipping 4 reds/blues respectively and looking at their damage tho.

>>11474044
Well technically, in real life, dive bombing does less damage than torpedo bombing does depending on the target as some ships have armored decks which can prevent the bomb dropped to penetrate the ship. They are more accurate though as the bomb is released at a steep angle and dive bombers are difficult to hit too since diving increases their speed. Torpedoes on the other hand does more damage since there is generally less armor below the waterline of the ship, therefore a single hit can flood the ship below-deck. But torpedo bombers are easier to shoot down since they do their runs at low speeds and at low altitudes lest their torpedoes will detonate prematurely when dropped at higher speeds and altitudes, which then makes these bombers sitting ducks for ships' AA. Now I'm not sure if Kancolle's battle mechanics incorporates these.

>>11474095
That's interesting, I never knew about these war tactics but it makes sense now.

So, Mutsu owners, has her fantastic luck caused serious setbacks in her performance? Considering whether or not I should try farming 3-4-1 to get a drop.

>>11474037
>>11474044
>>11474095
Just ran with a quick experiment using level 45 Kaga; 20 Ryusei (blue) on first run and 20 Susei (red) on the second. Blues do more damage during opening and less damage during shelling, while the inverse happens with the reds (there's a slight bias here, it was 54 damage on a destroyer and a 86 damage on a CA but I think the point stands.). About durability, I usually run with two slots of blues and most often than not, one torpedo is usually launched.

Is there a reason to keep both radars on Isuzu X? Does it help nullify the whirlpool on higher leveled maps or something, since the couple times I hit the whirlpool node on 4-3 (with a single radar equipped) I always get the message "you've lost your ammo, the radar was useless!".

>>11474175
not really, akagi and fuso sisters keep getting the crit when mutsu around

>>11474198
If only her artist is actually this good.

>>11474198
Radars don't nullify the effects of whirlpools, it justs decreases them. There should be values on how much it decreases on wikiwiki's sortie section. I'm not so sure if they stack, though.

>>11474198
What's that, some sort of kancolle magazine?

So it doing an article on Kancolle basically equal to printing money or something? Looks like lately every otaku publication is trying to get a piece.

>>11474273
Everyone want to ride the hype wave.

>>11474273
Considering the amount of hype it amassed, pretty much.

>>11474271
It's just an image parody of Comic Kairakuten.

>>11474273
This one looks more like a dedicated Kancolle magazine than some magazine doing a special on Kancolle.

How long until the hype will collapse?

Or is it really a new 2hu?

>>11474394
Depends on the anime, I guess. It will probably end up the same as Strike Wtiches. If they keep updating the game and its mechanics, I guess they can maintain but not as long as Touhou.

Fuck you compass, I just lost my Tatsuta. RIP in piece. ;_;

>>11474610
she will haunt you now

>>11474610
The compass isn't the one you should be hating right now.

>>11473997
This is my copypaste on green guns during AA phase, feel free to add it to the FAQ:

So to summarize (again):

Only green guns shoot planes.

46cm guns also shoot planes.

Yellow guns do NOT shoot planes.

All guns with with +AA stat help green guns shoot planes but do not shoot planes unless they are green guns themselves.

Green ammo helps the entire team's green guns shoot planes.

It is not confirmed whether AA radar helps the entire team shoot planes or just the ship the radar is on.

>>11474610
It's not the compass fault and you know it, you monster.

>>11474610
No fuck you. You horrible monster. Now go frame her a picture, offer some incense and drown in despair.

When is the next lottery?

>>11474638
>>11474644
>>11474661
>>11474675
bitch please, i'm raising the second one as we speak

>>11474681
But it won't be the same one you've spent so much time with.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm21238139
Because nicovideo version is much better than youtube one.

>>11474684
I wonder did anybody did Yamato's dying message?

>>11474691
I don't think there's any sane teitokus out there that did it, unless you can somehow get multiple Yamatos?

>>11474691
I don't know about recent ships, but IIRC there's one video that put nice fanarts for the first five ship from that video.
>>11474696
You could take her sinking message voice without actually sinking her.

>Go into PVP
>All my ships are higher level by at least 10
>Enemy keeps taking potshots that deal ~10 points of damage
>I keep missing for whatever the fuck reason
>Lose the PVP to a weaker team with a C grade
That's when I almost put an axe through my computer

>>11474822
I regularly dispatch my best team to PvP and D rank four out of five opponents. You win some, you lose some.

>>11474831
You don't choose your enemies? I don't battle every opponent, just the ones I'm confident I can win.

And then sometimes this happens, I get pretty annoyed when I could have won, if my shipdaughters didn't have such terrible aim.

sono kimochi when no lottery ;_;

>>11474833
I'm not that other teitoku but I fight any enemy, even a loss can give a considerable amount of experience and I only whore myself for experience, not stats.

>>11474833
Not him but, bu if you wish to nab the daillies regarding practice, then you don't really have much of a choice.

>>11474842
>>11474841
If I spot an opponent whose team is tough, usually I sit it out and check back every hour or so to see if he's switched to a weaker team (or in the middle of forming a new team and there's only 1 or 2 ships in the list)

That's when I pounce and beat them up. They don't always do that, but I like to maintain my 98% pvp success rate since it's in the records forever.

>>11474842
For the first mission, choose from the most difficut one, since you only need to participate, not win.

>>11474822
You sound like some sort of viking chief admiral who has a V in place of a head (also comes with a lustrous beard), insists to arm his girls with broadaxes instead of cannons, and sometimes goes on a berserk rage and rips the Ru-class who dared harm his girls into bloody shreds.

We really need to revive the tradition of leaving a weak team when you afk, because lately I'm seeig very few people do that.

PSA: When you're afk for the time, leave just one strong ship or a fleet of weaker ships so other admirals can do their quests and level their daughters.

>>11474852
Yeah, these past few days, I've only seen a player kind enough to leave 1 high leveled ship in their roster. I usually just leave verny in my fleet when I go to sleep.

>>11474833
>You don't choose your enemies? I don't battle every opponent, just the ones I'm confident I can win.
I would never fight anything but throwaway fleets if I only went for sure victories. My best fleet is about fifty levels and two hundred firepower short that of the best fleets of most admirals of comparable level.

What are the 水上機母艦 like Chitose good for?

>>11474852
One time I left 4 carriers (2 are high level) plus 2 low level ships so other players can get high experience if they defeat me.
Then I load all out fighters on my carriers and when I checked back, 3 players lost
Eh I'll just leave 4 of my carriers again with full bomber loadout.

>>11474852
It's still exist, though just rarer. At early morning during mission reset I could still find one-ship fleet.

>>11474858
Remodel her twice to get midget sub and preliminary torpedo strike, though it's still inferior than Ooi/KTKM. You also need one for high-level expedition and Akagi quest.
>>11474864
>3 players lost
How do you know that?

>>11474857
When I look at a PVP team, I go through a lot of deliberation to decide if I should fight. Are my levels comparable? What's the composition of his team? What counteroffensives can I put up?

I notice that in PVP balance is tilted in your favour because I have defeated teams where their levels are a tiny bit higher than mine, such as less than 5. But I have to prepare a team that can counter the combination effectively, too.

>>11474867
In the home screen, at the bottom on the screen, there is a tiny arrow. It's a log of recent events. Though stuff get's flushed out really fast, sometimes you can see the players who have challenged you and won / lost.

>>11474867
See that arrow which is pointing above button on the bottom center of the screen? It's the updates pop up. You can check there the players who challenged you and see who won or lost.

>>11474850
Navigate me closer, I want to hit them with my axe!

>>11474872
>>11474870
Oh, that one. I still don't know which message that means your enemy won or lost.

>>11474850
Who knows, when we get our foreign ships, we could finally get a ship that acts like a scott wielding a claymore.

>>11474874
Like this one. Does this mean Az-san won or lost?

>>11474877
I think that means your fleet won. As for me, I just leave the Kongou sisters to hold the fort. Very few people tackle me for some reason.

>>11474868
I don't really go into practice with the mindset that I have to win. As a general rule, getting your ass kicked can be a learning experience and I think it's fine for the girls to get that every now and then (although twice a day, every day, for weeks on end is probably overdoing it...)

>>11474877
That player lost to your fleet.

>>11474877
It means you won and Az lost.

>>11474865
Just after you post that, I ran into Livryl who afk'd with only 1 ship. God bless that person.

>>11474867
Thanks for the info.

>>11474881
>>11474884
Oh, alright. Thanks.

I give up on 10/300/250/10 for 46cms. Gonna just stick with my 41cms for now.

Does anyone else feel like their secretary sometimes gets "tired" of crafting? I've done the same recipe ten times in a row, and gotten reasonable drops in the first half, but nothing but failures and 7mm with the rest.

>>11474895
100/260/250/10 gave me one lately. It also gave me lots of improved turbines. I had 4 of those turbines now, just 2 more so I can equip the 6 DDs meant to clear 3-2.

>>11474895
Flagship?

>>11474901
Probability, the rarer craft are just that rare. All subsequent crafting will always yield the same probabilities.

Why is it that I can't build anything anymore? That number on the top right is zero but I don't know what it is nor how do I get it back up.

>>11474901
That just seems to be probability evening itself out.

>>11474912
Get it from quests.
By the way, this should be in FAQ.

>>11474901
Well, 10's not a very large sample size.

What I have noticed while playing online games for a while, though, is that RNG seems to work in series of ups and downs. In an MMORPG that I used to play a lot, when ehancing gears, I'd get a series of really good mods one day and a series of lousy mods for the same amount of enhancing items spent. If you aren't getting decent items or ships, it's probably a better idea to wait before trying more.

>>11474914
probability doesn't work that way.

>>11474917
>>11474645
Much appreciated. Will add this in once I get my lazy ass off. And post the translated screenshot. As for the AA thing, will add it as well. Soon. Hopefully.

>>11474914
Gambler's fallacy? All craft yield the same probability. However, I do suspect the some ships are just luckier than the others, even amongst those ships that are known to craft said rare items.

>>11474938
>>11474925
I'm very aware that statement can be misconstrued as gambler's fallacy, but what I mean is that when you start hitting bad crafts, it's time to stop while you're still ahead of the game.

>>11474945

>>11474945
My bad. That's what I do too. 3 attempts, no more, no less regardless of outcome.

>>11474909
I'll give your recipe a try later on;

>>11474910
Been switching flagship around, Haruna, Kongo, Fuso, Mutsu, Nagato every 10 or so crafts.

>>11474938
>some ships are just luckier than others
Gah, I couldn't imagine trying to confirm this by testing each and every ship with a large crafting sample.

>>11475087
We could get a coordinated group doing it; 50 people, each doing 10 craft should work. But it's too much effort for a browser game such as this, just take it easy and dance with the RNG goddess.

>>11475094
the varying HQ level (and possibly the secretary level, though I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter) would make this coordination almost impossible.

>>11475154
They see my dick

>>11474875
I kind of wanted Yugumo to act like that, since that's exactly what she did before she sank due to her recklessness. In fact, both sides did it during the Battle of Vella Lavella: The American side opted out of regrouping with another force in the area and dived straight into the heat of battle, while Yugumo, having decided that retreating is for cowards, ignored Rear Admiral Ijuin's commands to avoid the enemy destroyers and dived straight into the enemy destroyer line, disabling two ships before going down herself.

What will you expect to come from the next map event? Musashi and Shinano are too cliche.

I like how this game only got /jp/'s attention after an anime adaptation announcement.

>>11475281
seems you missed a few threads on /a/ about it

>>11475265
Besides Musashi and Shinano, eh? Perhaps the missing destroyers? There's still a ton of them missing. I wouldn't mind seeing Kamikaze-class added.

>>11475281
0/10 my dog could do better.

>>11475265
There are still a dozen Kagerou-class destroyers that are not in kancolle yet.

But I really want Musashi.

>>11475281
I guess you missed the threads we have been having since july/august?

>>11475265
Taiho? Unryu class?

Musashi's launch day is 1st Nov 1940. So we'll see next event around that time.
As for CVs we may see Shinano or Taihou earlier as devs hinted it this week.

>>11475319
Looks like I have a month left to train my girls up to level 70 from 10...

>>11475316
>>11475319
>Taihou and Unryu class
How good are they compared to other carriers?

>>11475319
They did? Oh, be still, my aching scurvied heart.

Unryuu, Amagi, and Katsuragi would he nice to have in addition to Taihou.

>>11475343
don't worry, you only need to grind 3-2-A 679 times to achieve that.

>>11475381
Taihou is like a Shoukaku-class with so much armor she barely floats.

Unryuu-classes are modified Hiryuus.

>>11475381
Taihou was the only Japanese carrier with an armoured deck but it had some design downfalls, Unryu was a class of carriers based on Hiryu's design for easier and quicker production.

>>11475408
>>11475409
Oh, that's pretty nice. I guess they could be great addition without being too OP.

Still hoping for that day where they buff DDs slightly.

>>11475442
All DDs need is some item that allows them to use torpedoes in the shelling phrase. Not even before it like Ooi/Kitakami/submarines can, just let them throw out Long Lances instead of using their pitiful guns during the day battle. Japanese destroyers frequently torpedoed down ships far beyond their gunning range anyway.

>>11475398
Yup, something like "To celebrate opening new Tawi-Tawi server, we're preparing to launch new 'best and the brightest' CV kanmusu coming fall to winter."

Then it should be Taihou from their 601st naval air group.

Big tits ahoy! Or incoming fat jokes.

>>11475491
How can you deduce that? From her name?

>>11475503
Or a really, really thick kimono with fur lining everywhere.

>>11475503
Actually, the only joke she'll have is about her gassiness problem after eating a torp. Search Wikipedia for details, I can't bear to tell them to you. ;_;

Remember, Isuzu farm is bad and you should feel bad.

Just picked up I-58 and I-68 after about 10 attempts of looking for yukikaze

I'm okay with this

>>11468281
I think deletion and hiatus would be best. However it's kind of obvious at this juncture we're going to have the thread anyway.

>>11475536
She better at least refer to that guy who dived to eat a torpedo for her.

>>11475499
From historical context.
Tawi-Tawi was her anchorage port as a flagship of 601st fleet.
She participated the battle of the Philippine sea later and sunk.

>>11475549
Too late, I just brutally massacred a whole fleet's worth of Isuzu for her parts. I have killed my emotions for this. For the sake of victory.

>Taiho
>tfw those of us flying as the Japanese in War Thunder still have to live with more A6M variations and no A7M in sight

Sometimes I hated crafting A7Ms for this.

/jp/'s starting to hate KanColle because apparently it's become "too mainstream" after the anime announce, but /a/ is still to normal for it as well. What will be the future of KanColle threads? Will it really come to having to create a daily general thread on /vg/?

>>11475618
You devil, how can you kill your emotions to do this!

>>11475549
I am suddenly reminded how similar Kancolle is to Jurassic Park. Both involve the revival of ancient engines of destruction that no red-blooded man could hate, revived creatures in both franchises are all female (but have the potential to grow a penis for the purposes of reproduction/futanari ero books), and both dinosaurs and shipdaughters have the potential to turn on their creators (by escaping/getting sunk and join the Armada of the Depths).

Clearly these Isuzus are testing the electric fence at different points in order to find a way to escape, and they can open doors. Breeding them has been the worst decision that Kancolle Park could have made.

>>11475649
Secondary reporting in.
Until they open the registration or do away with the lottery, there isnt really much chance for us secondaries to participate.

/jp/'s starting to hate KanColle because apparently it's become "too mainstream" after the anime announce, but /a/ is still to normal for it as well. What will be the future of KanColle threads? Will it really come to having to create a daily general thread on /vg/ in order to be able to discuss the game?

>>11475655
So far I don't see any opposition from /jp/. The thread seems calm and fine.

>>11473443
is there an original of this, that isn't a Chinese scanlation?

>>11475651
Instant boner.

>>11475655
Until the mod decreed that Kancolle is no longer /jp/, I guess Kancolle will stick around. Last time I check, we are not an obnoxious lot except when we need to create another thread (duplicates may pop up). The hype generated from the anime announcement should have helped cushioned the influx of newcomer (VPN is the biggest barrier so far and the fact that this is a browser game turns people off).

>>11475651
>>11475704
Is there any Houshou version?

>>11475651
>>11475683

>>11475704
I like her death quote.

>>11475700
I just happened to notice that sometimes when we create a new thread, a bunch of people complain that we're "continuously making general threads". You might not have noticed since these posts are usually deleted, but it does happen from time to time.

>>11475709
Er, lemme check whether I saved it or not. Remind me again, which one was Hosho?

>>11475723
The light aircraft carrier that is pretty much the motherly type.

>>11475711
I noticed it but I'm pretty sure that's because we are moving at much faster rate than other threads on /jp/ and they are not used to it. The fact that we are constantly on page 0 probably irk them as well. From my point of view, as long as we keep it to one thread and not spill over, we should be fine. As much as I like spilling over to /vg/ because of higher posting limit, /jp/ is a chill place to be going to /vg/ will invite people you guys will not like.

>>11475737
>The fact that we are constantly on page 0 probably irk them as well.

Why will it irk them? Serious question.

>>11475725
Couldn't find a Hosho version sadly, the best I could offer is this.

>>11475748
Thanks.

>>11475748
I have no idea, it felt oddly appropriate. Maybe I'm projecting, apologies.

>>11475725
>motherly
It seems like many teitoku here get that vibe from her. I think she's more of the newlywed type, especially considering that (I wish I could italicize this) secretary line.

>>11475850
The food, bath or *ufufu* line?

>>11475916
yup

>>11475292
I just want them to finish some of the Destroyer classes that need completing, like the Mutsuki-class, before moving on.

>>11475932
>A, B or C?
>yes

>>11475952
>The line where she says "food, bath or *ufufu*"?
>Yes, it is that line

...is what he meant.

>>11475952
I don't know what you're trying to say, greentexter-kun.

>>11475946
The thing with destroyers is that there's so many of them that it's probably difficult to give them a sprite, new voice acting lines and bit of characterization to distinguish them from current flock of destroyers. At least with a new class of them, Kadokawa Games can contact a different VA and a different illustrator.

Is there any resource where I can access the "damaged" portraits of all ships? It is difficult, not to mention heartrending, to get every ship damaged in order to see these images.

Thank you in advance.

History time.

November 8, 1944

Japanese operations TA-3 and TA-4 were carried out to transport supplies from Borneo. Several Cargo ships were led by a convoy, 1 day apart so the destroyers from the first convoy could fall back and defend the second.

On November 9th, during operation TA-3, the U.S fifth air force had spotted the convoy. They preemptively attacked the convoy, weakening the escorts.

On November 10th, the 38th Bomb Group assaulted the convoy again. Though they fought valiantly, Naganami, Asashimo and Wakatsuki were lost in the battle.

The final assault on the convoy occured on November 11th, assaulted by over 350 planes from Task Force 38. The IJN Shimakaze, IJN Hamanami, IJN Taizan Maru, INJ Seiho Maru, and IJN Tensho Maru died proudly in the line of duty.

Silly japs.

Murica!

>>11476007
>Murica!

Not to burst your bubble but the Japanese had over 35,000 soldiers garrisoned at Leyte before the Americans even arrived.

>>11476017
> 35,000 soldiers
what does that have to do with the ridiculous number of carrier-borne aircraft that the USN had?

>>11476031
Japanese just as many if not more but they were stationed at Ormoc Bay, many of which were lost in kamikaze attacks, sinking the USS Ward and USS Mahan when Ormoc bay was actually assaulted.

>>11476017
I think >>11476007 was referring to the tendency for US to go nuts and throw hilarious amounts of military force at everything they consider a problem. Hence 'Murica!

>watching someone's recording of clearing e-2
>bossfight goes to night battle
>KTKM-sama goes full burst on the boss and hits for more damage than the boss had HP to begin with in a single attack

holy hell, you guys weren't kidding when you said KTKM is hax.

>>11476068
Yeah, I know, but Japan did the same thing when the U.S attacked. In fact, according to the U.S navy's page, it was the only battle in WWII that Japan used every single type of weaponry they had. The more you know.

>>11476031
Those weren't all carrier born by the way, most flew in from islands around the Philippines.

>>11476068

America's twisted logic at its best. Do we really have to go /pol/ again?

How do you feel about Kantai Collection being mainstream now, /jp/?

>>11476163
It's been 'mainstream' for a long time.

>>11476163
I know you're trying to troll, but all things considered, feeling pretty good about it? The longer it stays popular, the more money Kadokawa pumps into the thing, the more ship daughterus get added over time, the higher the chances of game mechanics changing for the better, the more artists they can hire, the more voice actresses they can hire, the more manga/anime/fanart we get, the more etc etc

It's an otaku-centric browser game; getting more "mainstream" just gives us more of the stuff we want with no drawbacks.

>>11476163
Great. Bring on the merchandise.

>>11476174

Mainstream meaning popular with the western anime fanbase.

>>11476213
Sure, why not? More people to update the English wiki with.

The worst thing that can happen is some white hambeast cosplaying Shimakaze.

http://shop.melonbooks.co.jp/shop/sp_213001014242_teikoku_kanorc.php

Neat, the guy who did the orchestral arrangement of the various BGMs is releasing a CD.

>>11476213
Same thing that happens with every other fanbase

It will be popular for a while then it dies down because of the language barrier

>>11476163
Indifferent. They will just bother with anime and doujinshi. As long as I can play the game and get more merchandise from it, I could give a damn.

>>11476223
Rip when?

>>11476213
I don't think there is a risk they will pander to them.

>>11476309
>>11476476
Oh, you meant drop from grinding for ship drops. I don't know, they seem to drop from various bosses from various stages according to wikiwiki.

3-2 how do I get to the boss ? It always sends me the wrong way at start.

So I'm at the point where the only craftable ships I need are Shoukaku and Zuikaku and the drop-only ships are all from 5-2 boss, which needs 2 CV and 1 CVL for guaranteed boss route. My bauxite can't drain any faster.

USA had way more planes and everything in general.

Japan had 250 planes at Midway. US used more to attack some convoy.

>>11476213

Just wait for anime.

We'll have second SnK.

>>11476503
Eventually it got to the point where the USN had more SHIPS than the Japanese had PLANES.

>>11476510
We are looking more at a GuP, Upotte or SW here.

>>11476525
And I'm pretty sure the most mainstream that Strike Witches ever got was when Funimation went with the World War II-themed commercial pitch in their other products.

>>11476525
GuP style would be great. Bits of slice of life, comedy, and ship daughterus being cute with the teitoku in between battle episodes with kickass animation.

>>11476569
Any, as long as you level up a lot. Like, level 90 a lot.

>>11476569
Not only destroyers, but there are some other maps where having a certain amount of destroyers opens up routes. Same with CA's, CL's and other otherwise useless ship classes. It's never a bad idea to get at least 2 of each class to high level.

>>11476532

>>11476856
In that weekly x30 expedition quest does it matter if you do the same expeditions over and over?

>>11476892
you can do the same one 30 times

>>11476848
3-3? I've been farming there lately trying to get Mutsu/Nagato, and occasionally I get directed to the large/medium furniture coin box.

Is 3-4 really harder than 4-4? 4-3 seems to have one of those multi-phase bosses, but I keep hearing 3-4 is the most hellish map prior to 5.

>>11477022
3-4 is the hardest map because of 4 battleship crit trolling in that pre-boss node. Map 4 is easier in general because of sub nodes and 5 is easier than both. I beat the 5 HP gauge boss each time on my runs whereas on 4-4's I had to deal with unreliable ammo reserves and the boss not sinking.

Of course, I finished 5 before the difficulty was raised, so I wouldn't know what it's like now.

>>11477051
The wiki says something about how the boss has to be beaten 5 times before it unlocks the "final phase"? So the boss must actually be sunk for it to be considered success?

>>11477022
post more pictures of giant ship girls

>>11477098
They're not giants. The repair crews and weapon crews are chibis.

>>11477098
I don't think she was giant in that picture, just the fairies were tiny.

>>11477093
Yeah. Unlike the event boss that has you chipping away at the gauge as your damage the flagship, the gauges in 4 and 5 will drop ONLY when the flagship is sunk. However, the gauge will not recover, so you can take your time getting mad at your ships for not targeting it.

It was only a problem for me in 4, really. I slapped the life out of 5's entire fleet each time, often without night battle.

>>11476503
Iirc, during the Battle of Okinawa, which occurred some months before the bombs dropped and Japan surrendered, the Japanese sent and lost some 1,500 planes in a series of kamikaze attacks.

>>11477128
>>11477105
She's definitely meant to look giant in that picture.

>>11477155
That's probably why they raised the difficulty on 5. Or maybe it's just because they hadn't released all of 5 yet. 5-4 may be 30 nodes of bullshit.

>>11477217
Considering how fuel/ammo rates work, they can't really do that unless they implement refueling stations or something.

>>11477232
Or munition/oiler ships like Kashino (who I guess would look up to Yamato and Musashi, since her sole original purpose was to transport their massive 46cm cannons) that are below DDs in usefulness but have to be taken along in order to reduce fuel/ammo consumption.

Come to think about it, if they actually saved resources instead of reloading them mid-sortie, they would easily be useful enough to earn permanent spots in grinding fleets.

>>11477298
Since it's DD ONLY .. maybe ?

For the 3-2 map if my fleet contains a submarine would still be able to reach the boss?

How many lolis are there?

I keep wondering what the strategy in this game is.

I try and run an all-round team of ships so I have a little of each type, and then the only efficient ones seem to be the BBs and carriers while all destroyers, subs and cruisers are just there to be cheap to repair after they take a beating.

Not to mention it seems near impossible to run carriers without them eating all your bauxite. But I guess the trick is to only use them against things that can't AA.

Maybe my problem is lack of levels since my team is only around 20ish and I want to kill 2-3. (I hear 2-4 is a nightmare though)

>>11477298
I tried everything, didn't work, only DDs.

>>11477306
Zero, Kuma kept them all for himself.
>>11477298
If it's only possible to reach it with DD what makes you think that SS could be an exception?

>>11477322
>>11477306
He's lying, there's a decent amount I guess, not a ton.

>>11477317
Dunno I tore through 2-2 and 2-3 close to the same day with my fleet around 15-18ish and now I've been sitting like 2 weeks on 2-4. Can't get compass to work for me and scared to venture too deep. Got my fleet in mid-30's now and leveling up a KTKM I just picked up to replace my sub.

Compass before boss in 4-3 is pure BS, but at least I'm getting near to my Hyper Kitakami-sama, just other 6 levels of sufferance.

>>11477334
>>11477317
At 2-4 I noticed carriers are useless and switched to all BBs. Then with BBs levels over 25 (remodeled) I did 2-4 with little problems, the enemy carriers were no problem for them either. Just don't try to reach boss unless the BBs have more than lv25.

T-T-Thanks...

>>11477370
having a saiun and some fighters help reducing the damage risk and wrong T crossing, though.

I personally beat it with little to no harm with the four kongous, akagi and chiyoda, all around 30-35.

I'm going to shit my pants.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI1f6aP9TuQ

>>11477393

Kongos always seem strong when I face other players with them. Sadly I've yet to get a single one of them from about 10-15 attempts. I guess they are all gold for a reason.

>>11477471
what did you do

The official answer about pre-battle damage and being sunk:

轟沈の条件

　全く無傷の状態で(戦闘参加前/中破未満は基本大丈夫)
　全く疲労していない状態(出港時確認でOK)で夜戦含む「戦闘」に臨んだ場合は、
　「基本的には轟沈を回避する」仕様となっています。

Should we add this to the wiki, under FAQ maybe?

Finally got a rare battleship from 2-2 and...it was a second Ise.

Kongou please show yourself ;_;

>>11477736
Feel free to add it

>>11477736
What does it say?

>>11477504
I wanted Kongou for a while and the first Kongou class I get is Haruna. But now I see why everyone loves her. She is so incredibly delightful.

Just got 4th 6 hour shipbuilding timer. (300/30/600/400). I've got enough cranes. I'd like a dragon, please. A flying one, especially.

>>11476098
I see, I stand corrected.

>>11477861
Haruna is oyome-tier. (broken-recording, don't mind me)

>>11477898
I want a zuikaku so badly ;_;
I miss her and Nagato only now, out of craftable ships.

Tomorrow back to 4-2, according to wikiwiki 4-3 drops Kaga only from its (elusive) boss, I should have checked it before spending the whole day trying to clear that map, when will I learn to sort out my priorities?

Anyone can confirm whether Kaga drops at 3-2-1?

Haven't saw her while I am reaching Tetoku lv 69

>>11477966
at 3-2-1 ive found kaga, yamashiro, 5 kirishima, and 4 soryuu. I'm pretty sure theres other things of note i've picked up there, but i just cant remember off the top of my head.

however when i got the kaga im using now, i found her somewhere in 2-something.

I spent about a dozen rookie admiral's worth of resources farming 3-3 & 4-1 for Nagato class today.
I got 2 Hiryu, 2 Kongou, 3 Hiei, and 2 Kinu, but no Nagato or Mutsu.

All I want is to fill out my page 1, is that too much to ask for?

>>11478161
I filled page 1 at T level 97.

>>11478161
Well..

As far as I know of, Nagato drops only at boss after 3-3, or you need to hope your luck while you press construction button.

Mutsu drops at 3-3-1, I got 2 of them when I was looking I-168 in 3-3-1

>>11477736
Doesn't answer THAT much though. The great questions has been, can a MINORLY damaged ship be sunk?

>>11478184
>中破未満は基本大丈夫

>>11478174
According to the wiki, Nagato drops off bosses at 3-2~3-4 & 4-4.
Though generally when I'm tackling 3-3 I prefer to go all the way. If I can't get a Nagato/Mutsu to drop I'd at least get some coins towards purchasing that Nagato model ship.

>>11478187
Whoops, missed that sentence.

Welp, myth busted.

Not to mention if they really cared about that trick they can easily fix it by changing it so that people don't get resources if they disconnect during sorties.

>>11478622
So API trick is still allowed?

Since funposting won't work, here are some straight facts:

is a thread discussing the now announced kantai collection anime. Take note of how quickly it hit it's bump limit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kantai_Collection
also points out that this series already has a web manga going for it, and also has an upcoming light novel, a second manga, and a ps vita game.

according to this:
https://www.4chan.org/rules#jp2
>This is the appropriate board for the discussion of Japanese visual novels, and light novels without an animated adaptation
>and light novels without an animated adaptation

While none of these adaptations are currently out as of right now, it will only cause trouble as time goes on. More importantly though, other boards are already more than interested in discussing this.

>Sold out

Forgive my poor reading, but it essentially means:
As long as ships aren't fatigued, and they started the battle with more than half hp, they cannot be sunk?

Oh, does night battle count as a separate battle for this? e.g. Ship gets damaged to red during the day, if I pursue at night will she be at risk of sinking?

My moon is a bit wonky, but I'm assuming they're saying something about how people who previously got banned are finding their way back into the game during server openings?

I'm still a bit worried if VPN are considered one of the "programs illegally used to access the game". I don't know what I'd do if my girls are taken away from me.

That, and I've already sunk $50 into this game

Is Mogami class the only aviation cruiser available?

>>11478701
If ships are unfatigued and undamaged (or not moderately damaged), they cannot be sunk.

They also cannot be sunk during night battles if they weren't fatigued when they were launched.

Didn't answer your question but I believe ships taken to red during the day CAN be sunk at night.

>>11478708
Yes. There are only 4 of the type within the game and they are all Mogami class.

A certain wild Kongou appear. Almost done making.

>>11478713
So we can't clear A-26 quest at the moment yet, right?

>>11478718
You can get Mikuma drop off from 5-2 boss.

>>11478724
That would take me another month, but okay ;_;

>>11478693
It's preorder, it'll change later.

Also Akagi's getting a nendo too.

>>11478741
Excellent, I might get her.

>>11478755
I want an Inazuma nendo, but I don't think she's very popular.

>>11478741
Source?

I might wait on a Murakumo... or Haruna... or Kitakami, or Tenryu, or...

You know what, it's probably better if they only make the two, or else I don't know how my wallet is going to handle it.

>>11478711
thanks, i'l just retreat if anything ever gets hit to half hp during the day and be safe then.

>>11478702
When you're using API, you don't need VPN to play the game.

>>11478766
No, being 4th place can hardly be considered popular.

Because there won't be enough spoonfeeding.

>>11478741
Time to get my wallet ready.

>>11478787
It's on GSM's youtube.

>>11478811
Thanks.

>>11478741
That reminds me, they should make a Kancolle Gatchapon machine.

With a high chance of getting you-know-who.

Think of the money they'd make.

>>11478802
I had no idea, I just started playing the game and haven't really looked at much of the other content.

>>11478670
Culture and board usage can't be reduced to engraved-in-stars rules.

I'm pretty sure other board userbase like /a/ for one mostly won't try to play the game.
I don't hate on the board at all, but /a/'s usage is a periodical, pulsing one - when a chapter or a episode is released there's a fast moving thread for a day or two, and depending on the hype it dies more or less fast.
Continuous discussion about the actual game aren't suited for /a/, especially when the anime ends.

I don't get the problem with different aspect of a franchise being discussed in different places.

>>11478817
Why do you want to kill this game? One great thing about Kancolle is there's no retarded gacha system.

>>11478824
I meant a real mini-figure gatcha, not in-game.

>>11478824
I think you've misunderstood his post

A Gatchapon machine not a gacha system.

>>11478832
>>11478833
Oh, I see. My bad.

>>11478702
Yeah, and they're doing the same shit that got them banned after registering again. They're currently tracking them down and will ban them again in due time.

This post (>>11478606) got me worried, too. I understood it as 'Players that use special programs and ways to connect to the game are now considered as a rule violation because it causes high load to our servers'. Let's just hope VPNs and APIs aren't part of it.

How rare are the Tenryuu-class ships? I got Tatsuta like 2 hours ago via build, and I just got Tenyuu from 1-1's boss.

>>11478850
Not very rare

>>11478850
Decently common. You also get Tatsuta from a quest, if memory serves.

No ship is too rare in this game, except that single battleship/aircraft carrier that you'd kill to have, and the last sister needed to unlock a new fleet.

>>11478850
You can check how rare they are from the background, Tenryu is as common as dirt

>>11478856
>and the last sister needed to unlock a new fleet.
Fucking Sendai.

>>11478856
Desire sensor working as intended.

Everyone has one of "THAT SHIP" they just can't seem to get.

>>11478857
To expand, card background and sortie drop background only. If you build a ship, they'll always have the lightest blue background.

There's a few other details like the shape of the star thing their classification symbol is on, on their cards, but background is really the best indicator.

>>11478866
Just shout that you're about to head into a night battle and she'll pop around.

>>11478821
>Culture and board usage can't be reduced to engraved-in-stars rules
Why is that?

Too much shit keeps getting abided due to "board culture". Rules are rules, and kantai shit will eventually be against /jp/'s rules. The longer people wait before action is taken, the more people will become attached, and the harder it will be on people to get rid of it. The sooner you take action against this, the better.

In the thread I linked, you can see people discussing the game--because of course, aside from artwork, there's very little else to discuss right now. This thread was created before the shitstorm on /jp/ yesterday, and so was some of the discussion in that thread.

>>11478941
Shut up and post more atago.

>>11478941
your arguement falls apart in the face of touhou, which has has some anime type crap and would still be chased back to /jp/ by /a/. so please, just go back to /b/ or whereever you came from. hell. didn't m00t make /jp/ primrarily to get touhou out of /a/ so that /a/ would stop bitching about being flooded? prior to you, I've seen no complaints in the week since I've been watching /jp/ discussing kancolle. 'tis very telling.

>>11478941
I'm too lazy to check, are you harassing the umineko thread too? it's got an anime, after all.

The thought that I used to only have two docks terrifies me.

Even 4 docks doesn't seem enough right now.

>>11478973
How many do you have right now?

>>11478961
If touhou really does have an anime, please show me it. As far as I know, there were a few attempts, but ZUN doesn't want it to become one.

moot did create /jp/ for touhou. He didn't create it for this, though. Never once did I say where this should be sent to, just that it will eventually be against /jp/'s rules, and should be gotten rid of ASAP.

>>11478972
It's a visual novel, and this isn't. Perhaps one day, but right now I have no desire to.

>>11478985
You can only have 4.

>>11479008
Sorry, I'm referring to buckets. Granted that I'm spamming expedition 3 like no tomorrow, but only having two docks is still fine with my T-level almost 70.

Well, character bio pages are done up to Akagi if anyone wants to proofread vandalize them. Wish there was a faster way to manage tables in the editor.

>>11478711
>if they weren't fatigued when they were launched.
That's still a bit vague though. At what point are we even considering fatigue because after a sortie, your ships would accumulate fatigue points to the point of seeing an orange face. Between that and normal level, would that still be considered as fatigue?

>>11479020
I only have 155 right now. I could've had more but I've been fielding my A team pretty hard lately and I was forced to use alot of them on repairs that'd take more than 3 hours.

>>11478817
There will be a nicovideo where the user just simply burn/crush/dispose all the Nakas he had collected with the sound effect playing in the background.

>>11478989
And visual novel belongs to /v/ because a mod there once said that VN is a game as well. Hell, there's even a VN general in /vg/, why not port VN discussion there?

The fact is, different people talk about the same thing in different lights. Trust me, when the anime comes out, it will be either strike-witches tier waifu circle-jerking or /ak/-GuP circle jerking and in /jp/, we will still be lamenting about the last sister syndrome, compass being a bitch and the general mechanics of the game.

Yes, there will be cross-board interaction, that's why an FAQ is setup and as long as the VPN wall still stands, it will deter a good number of them.

Welp, I'm thinking about going in and registering. Should I turn back before KanColle consumes me?
