Please respond.

Kongo a best

Which ship would you fuck?

Any good kancolle MMD videos yet?

Is Haruna the main character yet?

>>11626938

She appears to be standing in an incredibly painful way, just look at how torqued her ankles are....

>>11626948
Inazuma and Iku. Preferably symmetrical docking.

I want to make Iku iku
iku means cum by the way.

Why is Iku so sexual?

>>11627007
Because she is the best.

>>11626944
Kongo a shit

Remember those anons arguing about if being on the front page was a good or bad thing? I've come to the conclusion that the anon arguing that it was a bad thing was correct. This place is shittier than normal shit levels as long as it's up here. I almost want that Atagofag back.

Example: Every post here thusfar, including this one.

Did anybody have any favorite arrange CDs?

Unsurprisingly Melodic/Carrotwine/Tutti was quite good, but I haven't found too many others I liked. There was a lot of chiptune which I wasn't a fan of.

>>11627036
You post on /jp/ you play by /jp/ rules.
Like it or leave.

>>11627036
And yet, somehow it's STILL better than retarded game questions non-stop. I think on the balance it's a wash.

this shit is the new corporate 2hu
like rock music in the nineties, the new generation of free human rebellion and expression is now propiety of some company.
it was gret until it lasted guys...

>>11627044
too bad no one plays by the rules and no one is going to leave.

>>11627041
That's a very positive view on this. I like it. I am no longer mad.

>>11627044
/jp/'s rules were to post "a best", "a shit", and "who fug" the second you saw a thread on the front page... Welp, /jp/ a shit.

>>11627068
No shit

>>11627068
See, now you're getting the hang of things. We'll make you into a proper /jp/sie in no time.

So what's the best recipe for depth charges? I want to build a good amount of them so I can deal with subs in pvp.

>i'd never spend money on some dumb boat game
mfw buying dock keys

>>11627036
The thread was going perfectly until you had to post. You'll get your game blogging after a bit of time passes and everybody gets their sexual desires out of their system.

>>11627082
I got most of mine with 10/50/10/50

>>11626938
Is there a lack of kancolle fanart to the point that you need to use that photo?

>>11627180
All twenty-two Kancolle fanart images have been used up. We're scraping the bottom of the barrel now. I hope they'll draw more soon.

>>11627180
It's a pretty cute photo.

>>11627185

Good luck, they went on strike to protest the use of sacrificial destroyers.

>>11627239
Now you know how the other side feels.

>>11627252

I need advise on E5.
Currently using Maya 63, Yuudachi 78, Haruna 74, Kongou 85, Kitakami 87, Ooi 54. (in that order)
CA = 15.5cm triple x2, dodge+10, 21 radar
DD = 10cm green, 12.7cm yuudachi gun, dodge+10
BB = 46, 41, 21 radar, dodge+10
CLT = 15.5cm yellow x2, midget sub

Just did 2 hours worth of sorties, went to boss node only twice thanks to compass trolling and ships going orange. Should I continue? Am I doing this wrong? Should I use support fire?

>>11627261
Forgot, I'm using double line on non-boss node.

>>11627268
Not everyone wants to risk their ships sinking because someone said ships cant be sunk in orange.

>>11627261
*advice

>>11627261
>ships going orange
People still believe that orange ships can sink?
Are they retarded or just gullible?

>>11627269
I have sortied at least 500 times in orange hp from low to high, and they have never ever sunk.

Worst thing that happened was I got hit to red hp. Stop being a pussy admiral.

>>11627261
Don't be a pussy, you'll never beat e5 if you don't advance in orange

>>11627252
where is her hat?
empirical evidence suggests that Wo-class hat is the lifeform, thus the humanoid form below it is just a decoy to gain sympathy.

unless you could provide sufficient reasoning, we need to take you to the MP for being a abyss fleet sympathizer.

Your empirical evidence is wrong.
Reason: My penis says so

i suggest we should go to the MP.
we need to interrogate your ochinchin for further information.

When?

>>11627334
Never

How do I use up all this excess ammo from running expedition 2 and 5?
I don't have enough steel to afford crafting lots of weapons.

>>11627334
I hope they do add them as playable ships, that way I can send them on suicide runs and wont feel bad about them sinking.

>>11627341
You monster

>>11627340
Sortie 1-1 with a full BB fleet.

>>11627362
That would use up fuel as well, which I do need.

>>11627340
Do 300 ammo crafting recipes and hope the RNG gives you something good?

>>11627357
is that a abyss fleet rape doujin?

>>11627369
Throw a cruiser party and night combat everywhere.

>>11627371
Did ten 300 ammo, 10 all other resources crafts and got two 1-star guns and eight penguins. At least the numbers look a bit more even now.

>>11627362
CAs would probably work better. Most of them use twice as much ammo for each unit of fuel.

>>11627340
save it ya goof

>>11627432
Having radically different amounts of each resource really tickles my autism bone.

>>11627437

>>11627437

Something like this?

>>11627437
Then get your other resources up

Beat E-4 after a grueling 16-hour fight

Nagato brought the boss to her knees, and then Tone finished her off.

For those of you who cleared E-5 claiming that it's easier than E-4, what ships/strats did you use? So far, I've had pretty fantastic results just copying loadouts from people's clear reports.

Why is Kaga the best CV?
Is it because of the side ponytail and the flat voice tone?

>>11627458
Damn, how much resources did you spend in resupply?
I imagine the repairs must have been incredibly expensive too

>>11627442
Two 20 minutes.

>>11627460
>I've had pretty fantastic results
We already told you E-5 is easy.
Why do you doubt /jp/? Why would we lie to you?

Sorry... I forgot she received heavy dmg when I left computer, I came back and press forward without realize it.

;_;

RIP Akazuki

>>11627475
That's not really my point.

I'm just asking what people who had an easy time with E-5 used.

>>11627467

Took 14k fuel, 11k steel, 8k ammo, and 140 buckets. I was doing expeditions the whole time, so it's probably more than that.

I also got a BSOD on the results screen, but miraculously still got I-8 when I rebooted.

>>11627480
>level 74

RIP

That's why you always retreat if unsure.

>>11627480
Great job.

>>11627480
That's why you should use/update sanaechan.

>>11627498
Does it work with flash projector or browser only?

>>11627498
And what is this sanaechan thing?

>>11627503
Works with the projector, just follow the steps for IE.

>>11627506
search the archive.

>>11627498
Reported for advertising.

>>11627542
Its not in the OP and its not in the wikis so what is that thing?

>>11627555
Y-you must belong to that other fleet

E-3 compass is trolling me to death but I swear I'll figure this out myself.

If I remodel a ship (e.g. from Ise to Ise Kai), is it still eligible for the composition quests that require a specific set of ships?

N.B.: The wiki doesn't mention anything regarding this.

>>11627567
Search the archives or use google.

>>11627576
Yes it is. Read the FAQ.

>>11627577
I can't find anything on it. Could you help me out?

Will there be more Kancolle rape or NTR doujinshi soon?

>>11627576
Read the FAQ. Aviation BBs are mentioned there.

>>11627576
But it's still there.

>>11627581
>googles sanechan
I can already see it, take your bullshit elsewhere

>>11627587
sorry. I run NoScript, so I never see the comments section unless I specifically disable it.

>>11627590
>take your bullshit elsewhere
Is it really too hard to answer a question that is not in the wiki or in the OP? Bitching and moaning every time someone asks a question just makes the thread go to shit

>>11627590
Whoa no need to be rude. Maybe someone with some netiquette can help me out.

>>11627581
Are these threads too far gone that I can't even give someone the benefit of the doubt that they can actually use google?

>>11627598
>netiquette
>/jp/

>>11627598
Instead of whining like you, I checked the archives and already got it running.
If you're this clueless, I bet you'll come asking how to install it next.

>>11627598
Asking easily answered questions is in and of itself bad netiquette.

Most of the questions that aren't answered on Google are answered in the archives.

>>11627601
The /jp/ netiquette guide is here: http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

>>11627600
The question was "What is sanaechan" or at least the initial question was, not where can you find it.
That stuff is all in runes and not everyone can read japanese. A simple answer saying what that thing is could have saved this whole deal and everyone would have moved on to something else.

Is it worth it to sparkle support expeditions?

>>11627612
The long ones.

>>11627619
Support expeditions only come in half-hour and fifteen minutes.

>>11627612
Do your own math.
1.5hours for 200/200
1.5hours + 1-1 sparkling time for 300/300
Which one is more efficient?

>>11627619
>>11627623

Support expeditions. The ones you send out to attack the boss during day battle.

>>11627623
When you act like a smartass make sure you're not actually acting like a retard.

>>11627625
I didnt sparkle any of my support expedition, they appeared everytime I sortie them. Perhaps they have a 100% appearance rate for event?

>>11627612
According to what I see from the streams, sparkling the flag is all you need

Why is everyone so hostile?
And not the friendly type of hostility, but angry hostility.

>>11627609
>I can't even click on the link and find the general idea even from machine translation

Also, if you plan on staying in /jp/ you're going to have to know moon or at least a little bit of common sense. Fuck off back to wherever you came from

>>11627633
Hostility is the lifeblood of /jp/.

>>11627640
Friendly hostility is.
But this is hostility that can really hurt people.

>>11627635
And a simple answer would have solved this whole ordeal instead of sending people to hunt the archives, google or shitty machine translations.

If you're frustrated at the game or at something else you should really go do something else instead of acting like a sperglord and making the threads go to shit

>>11627633
People too lazy to figure things out themselves yet are arrogant enough to demand answers and whine when they get told where to search.

>>11627631
That helps, thanks a ton.

Speaking of the flag, order doesn't matter, right? I always see people put the DDs first for some reason.

Also another oddity. Both wikis state that you need 3 CV/Ls to do aerial bombardment. Why do people use 2DDs/2BBs/2CV/Ls?. If you're going to do shelling support I don't see why you'd stick carriers in there.

>>11627644
A little from column A, a little from column B.

>>11627645
>And a simple answer would have solved this whole ordeal instead of sending people to hunt the archives, google or shitty machine translations.
Then it's a damn good thing nobody gave one.

>>11627644
>But this is hostility that can really hurt people.
Maybe if you're new to the site, the only it does is ruin the threads because some frustrated anon cant ignore a question or answer a question.

I want to ask a very n00b question:
how do you change your flagship from the your starting ship?

>>11627645
Feed a man a fish, etc etc.

And you're deluded if you think these threads weren't shit enough already.

>>11627662
You post your API link here and we will do it for you.

>>11627662
What, the fuck?

>>11627662
at least change your shitpost if you're going to try and rile people up

>>11627633
>jp
>friendly hostile

Pick one.

>>11627660
But why make the threads shittier instead of better?

>>11627662
Click on your composition page (top button). You will see a portrait of your flagship in ship slot number one. Click the green button, and a page of all your ships will appear. Select the ship you wish to be your flagship, and click the button that appears in the lower-right hand of the screen.

I wanna buttfuck Kaga

Kancolle threads are now indistinguishable from the rest of /jp/ threads in the catalog.

I'm impressed.

>>11627685
At least post a picture of her if you want to make this thread a bit better.

>>11627689
/jp/ will always be /jp/, it cant be helped.
Doesnt matter if its touhou, visual novels or kancolle, someone will always step up and shitpost all over the place.

>>11627685
There's a doujin for that already

>>11627689
What's wrong with the OP?

>>11627685

Were you trying to post in the /a/ thread? This is the wrong tab.

>>11627703
I meant to say the front page, but the catalog and OP's image kinda blends in too.

>>11627480
And you didn't even manage to lose her on a difficult map.

Didn't you get a Hibiki up to level seventy in three or four days, though?

... I'm supposed to use a defensive formation on E-5's boss right? Either diamond or line abreast?

>>11627744
You're supposed to go attack, why the fuck would you not want to damage the boss?

>>11627480
Scratch what I just said if you managed to read it, I misread where you lost her. I am in utter awe of what you were trying to accomplish. It's a shame that it ended up like that... although, if I recall, you got seventy levels on a Hibiki in three or four days, and there's still well over a week left, so...

>>11627685
Get in the line turbonoob.

I really wish that my PVP opponents used something other than a submarine team.

>>11627744
Yes, you don't want to lose your ships, do you?

>>11627755
The most annoying thing about submarine teams is that it takes five whole minutes to find all your anti-sub equipment and assemble it.

Although I bet they have a tool for that, as well.

My boss(who is a fellow teitoku) told me that 31/31/31/31 has a chance of yielding Yukikaze. Can anyone confirm/deny because I can't find anything on the JP wikis about this.

So how do you use sanae san

>>11627759
anything can yield a dd, less mats used less chance. the standard is 250 130 270 30 or 250 30 200 30 or 270 30 300 150

>>11627760

>>11627760
You cant use touhous in kancolle

>>11627760
With your dick of course.
What a fucking retarded question.

>>11627750
>>11627480
Well shit, I didn't notice in the catfight about netiquette. Were you really trying to beat E-5 with a destroyer team? That's insane. You're insane.

>>11627760
guarentee reply

>>11627760
The same way you use any of the 2hus.

>>11627749
I was under the impression that you basically needed to tough out the day battle so that you can do massive damage on the night one. Every time I tried using offensive formation my girls just get critted to red and can't do anything at night.

>>11627775
It's possible, just turtle my way through and go for night battle. my yukikaze did 350 damage to the boss at night with 58/5oxygen/5oxygen set up

>>11627775
It's not insane. E-4 on the other hand.

>>11627781
3-2 sent me home early so many times that I'm amazed you can reach the boss more than once in ten tries.

>>11627790
It's night battle until you get to the boss buddy, dds one hit them just like any other ship, and have a higher evasion than any other ships too.

>>11627007
>>11627015
I lost Iku, stop talking about her ;_;

>>11627780
Seems like an okay strategy. Some people prefer not to take any chances so they go all out with support and single vertical.

>>11627814
Ikuuuu! Ikuuuuuuu!

>>11627814
No.

>>11627744
Is double line not defensive enough?

>>11627826
Her boobs are the same size here, I wish her damaged sprite was like this.
Her left boob is bigger than her right one and it will never be changed or fixed.

>>11627837
That's just her pushing one breast down.

All I want is a chance to suppress the gauge, god damn it. Why wouldn't the game let me?

Damn, to remodel or not to remodel.

>>11627923
Her fuel/ammo has been normalized, so unless you really hate her new portrait, I don't see why not.

E5 with voice acting fairies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loOQFxUEMCQ

>>11627926
Well, I vastly prefer her current damaged sprite over the new one. I'm fine with both portraits, although I still prefer the current one.

I'm just wondering whether the extra fuel will be worth it for that firepower.

>>11627926
Haha, that's what I'm on the fence about. I'm not too fond of her new portrait.

>>11627939
Well, at least it increases the stat cap. Considering that there are probably a gap of 40+ levels in between, remodeling will really boost those stats that cannot be touched by modernisation.

>>11627965
The portrait grows on you. Her time reporting and idle lines are adorable as hell.

>>11627975
Does she still say Burning Love?

>>11627980
During battle? Yeah. Her battle lines doesn't change. No more "Congratulations!" though.

>>11627932
This is fucking gold. Thanks for sharing it.

So is it true that E-5's night battle is safe even with red? I've heard people say yes, some others say that's just trolling and misinformation.

>>11628007
Red is never safe

>>11628007
You would be the first if your ship sink

>>11628007
It's perfectly safe.

Or is it?????

>>11628007
There's no conclusive information, you're only going to attract idiots with anectodal evidence.

"I lost muh Nagato at orange!" versus "I sent a billion ships at red into night and they never sink!" No one has wasted the time to actually do a study on this, the best you'll get is a stupid nico link.

People will tell you it's perfectly safe though since we want to hear stories of other people losing their ships.

>>11628007
You could sortie BBs escorted by lv1 DDs to test it out. It's either this or trusting the (mis)information posted in replies here.

Anyone who tried doing E-5 with subs, did you get any subs from B ranks? I've been trying it because I can't craft a fucking Goya, but aside from the boss dropping Ooi once I haven't seen anything but DD/CL.

The fucking bullshit.
E5 bar is empty.
Last two boss battle ended with her at 8hp, 3hp, and 6hp. I think I'm going crazy.

>>11628007

Your ships can't sink. What kind of sick bastard would make a game where little girls die?

>>11628044
>two
>8hp, 3hp, and 6hp
Yep, you're going crazy.

>>11628034
Welp my heart skipped a beat. Boss did a cut-in on red KTKM... and did 6 damage. Not conclusive evidence to be sure, but I'm a little more relieved at least.

>>11628041
Goya is common drop in all the node. You can just farm the first node for her if you want.

>>11628057
Keep trying at it friend, maybe you'll lose her next time.

>>11628058
Sub guy here. I never did get a Goya drop with B grade clear on E5. It's making me wonder if you need A to get the good stuff basically...

>>11628058
drops imuya too, all those 3-2 decoys.

>>11628067
Just stick 6destroyers and perfect S the first few nodes

>>11628083
did you bother with sparkle?

Is Chitose/Chiyoda only useful for getting midget subs?

>>11628088
Their final remodels as CVLs are one of the best.

>>11628087
I did it when I wam going for E5 boss seriously but if you are just farming for subs with 6destroyers do you need to put in that much effort?

>>11628088
Not really. seaplane tenders can count as CV for quests, (consumption is low) and you are actually better off to train the tender ver. to level 50 before remodeling to Kai2.

>>11628092

I hope they add the other two Chitose class to the game. I'm not going to keep duplicates around just so I can use seaplane tender.

>>11628090
Well, My DDs are only in 50s. They only went to the second point and get promptly trashed. heh.

>>11628090
I actually wonder if throwaway DDs can get S rank at the first node.

>>11628114
You can just retreat after the first

>>11628088
Is Kitagami/Ooi only useful for getting oxygen torpedoes?

>>11628116
What?

>>11628114
If so, it'll probably be an extremely low chance. I used throwaway DDs to conserve resources in E4 and you'd be hard pressed for them to damage the more powerful flagships.

>>11628110
They are cheap.
Bucket helps relieve fatigue.
Just keep going and level your cute destroyers.
You can always farm E5 the normal way and go to the boss node and back with your main fleet.

>>11628118
He's being sarcastic, obviously.

>>11628121
I wish that I can have 6x subs tbh. 4 subs did really well tbh for E5. If I have 6, I can get A ranking during night battles reliably.

>>11628120
Maybe I'll try 4 throwaways + Torp sisters to finish the top.

>>11628126
They're already borderline OP with 4. It takes a lot away from the resource management standpoint as well. I actually wish they didn't add the 2 new subs, because now all I do is run 2-3.

>>11628090
what formation did you use? double line?

>>11628116
kitaGAMI..?
What?

>>11628146
vertical all day everyday

Planning on taking this fleet to E-4, with this many resources as of this posting. How are my chances?

>>11628250
Shitty, get 20k at least

>>11628250
How many buckets do you have? I think you should build more resources. Realizing you don't have enough when you've burned through three-quarter of the boss hp gauge is a nightmare.

>>11628259
Last I remember, above 170.

>>11628257
Oh man, my cap isn't even that high. So much for that idea then.

>>11628250
You can go beyond the cap with expeditions, it just stops the regen

>>11628250
I guess you won't be able to do E5 afterwards unless you get lucky, so maybe I'd advise to ait until next weekend and try your luck at E4 with more resources.
Using sacrificial ship can help, too.
You need at least 3 sanshiki equipped ship, too.

Don't sweat on your cap, and just farm expeditions.

>>11628265
>>11628268
Oh. Sacrificial ships aside, I thank you for your help.

>>11628270
The moment you use sacrificial fleets, you're an asshole that doesn't deserve to clear the event.

>>11628270
If you start do dummy, you are a dummyfag.

Ready to get shame yourself when you use sacrificial fleets.

>>11628250
Look great.
On average your fleet level is higher than what I finished it with. There are also report of people finishing it with lvl1 fleet.

>>11628277
tribbing makes me so hot

>>11628250
Your chances are probably slim with those resources but certainly not impossible - E4 is an incredible RNG test. As it has been pointed out numerous times, some people are getting lucky with fleets below level 5, while others are failing with level 70+ fleets. You might S victory your way to the boss every time and sink her in 2-3 hours or you might spend 20+ hours like I did and get to the boss numerous times only to have all your ships completely ignore her and sink her support instead.

I burned through 20K fuel and steel, 15K ammo, and about 220 buckets. I ran resource expeditions the entire time as well. Having at least 3 ships with Sanshiki is a minimum unless you're relying entirely on RNG and hope that your ships consistently target the boss in both night and day phases.

>>11628273
The moment you use sacrificial ships as modernization material, you're an asshole that doesn't deserve to play kancolle.

>>11628335
it's too much work to scrap them

Why are all the sisters gay for each other?

>>11628353
Each ship has a certain amount of affection for her sister ships. If you have a lot of sisters, then it gets spread out and you're all just good friends, but if you only have one you become an obsessive.

>>11628335
Yeah because having the girls retire their equipment to live a peaceful life is worst than sending them to their death right?

>>11628353
Fubuki and her sisters aren't like that though.

>>11627932
It's sort of creepy (and interesting) watching where he clicks on screen each time.

It's odd how expeditions give 3 fatigue every time they're completed yet none of my ships ever get tired from doing hundreds of them.

>>11628391
That was great. It made me want to poke my shipgirls like never before.

This 2-4 compass is killing me.
It sends me Northwest 90% of the time after the first node and when I don't get sent there, I always get hit to red the node before the boss.

Small test I know, but more people should try this and see if a sink is ever actually recorded.

I think I need to give up on E-3 farming
Gotten like 35 S ranks with nothing rarer than a Kongou class

>>11628007
As far as my own experience goes, I've never lost a ship going into night battles in the red on any map, including E3 and E5.

Good news guys, it turns out you never have to repair your ships at all, because they're actually incapable of sinking. Well, sometimes you have to repair the flagship because it hits red health and the fleet has to go home, but that's all.

>>11628423
I just tested this.
It's true.

She really has a tendency to sink on event maps. From Futaba, by the way.

Someone's E-2 log, seems like you don't get good stuff from that map.

It is never recorded because it cant happen. It is very simple, if ships were capable of sinking at orange, how can no one ever recorded it ever? Look at the all screenshot of people posting their dead ships. Why would they not share the video if their ships happened to be orange? All I can say is, this is all part of kadokawa propaganda to trick gullible fools into buying damage control.

>>11628414
Dont give up.
I have wasted almost 10k resources on it. Finally got my first real drop.

>>11628273
Hah, jokes on you! I cleared it yesterday. Pic related since some of them had to die for the glory of their Admiral.

>>11628487
Man, I want a -kaku carrier. A lot. I never get them from the recipes, should I go farm E-3?

Alright /jp/, we all know E4 is a matter of luck and probably some preparation so I need your advice on my fleet.

In order of appearance (including equipments):
DD Murakumo lvl 56
- 12.7 Main gun
- 2x 10cm green gun
CL Noshiro lvl 52
- 20.3 Main gun
- 25mm AA
- 15.5cm Vice gun
BB Hiei lvl 64
- 41cm Main gun
- 15.5 vice gun
- 12.7 green gun
- No.21 radar
BB Kirishima lvl 64
- 46cm Main gun
- 15.5 vice gun
- 12.7 green
- Type-3 ammo
CA Atago lvl 66
- 20.3 main gun
- 22mm AA
- 15.5 vice gun
- Type 3 ammo
CA Takao lvl 66
- Same as Atago

So any criticism? I had run them through the gauntlet with the purpose of whittling down the boss' gauge but they either keep getting crit or they got redirected to the SW node because they are apparently too good for the boss. I need to at least make sure my fleet is prepared well enough.

>>11628491
>Being proud that he cleared E-4 while sacrificing numerous ships.

>Assuming that "deserve to clear" has the same meaning as "will never clear".

What plane setup do you use for E3?

>>11628507
I dont know. With the amount of resources spent refueling and repairing, you are essentially rolling the recipe for the chance of getting them + hatsukaze.

>>11628513
One slot for green, 2 slots for red, 1 slot for blue. The slot carrying the most planes will be blue. Reds will be spread out evenly. The rarest plane I have are Ryusei-kai and Reppu.

>>11628505
Torpedo Monsters instead of the DD/CL. 15.5x2 + minisub for each. I've seen people use them in the top and bottom slots so not sure if it really matters, but for my runs I had them at the bottom. They consistently hit their targets and hit them really damn hard in the night phase.

>>11628505
Sanshikis are needed on every ship that can equip them. Drop the green guns on them for sanshikis.

>>11628524
Actually my bad, I only looked at Hiei before writing this. She should still get one though.

>>11628505
Any advice I would give you is already on the wiki. And from your equipment, you either
A. Did not read the wikia,
B. Do not care about the advice, and/or
C. Do not have the right equipment.

So really, there's nothing I can do for you.

>>11628512
It's a good thing that I value rational thinking. Took me only 6k resources and 20+ buckets to clear E-4. Because of that. I had enough resources to complete E-5 and then some more to do E-6.

Its funny how some people insist that others are playing the game wrong.

Wait, do you lose development tools if you fail in crafting equipments?

>>11628535
You used to, but you get it back now. I think.

>>11628532
I take great pride in playing the game the wrong way.

>>11628531
I find it odd that someone who claims to value rational thinking dedicates time out of his life to post on 4chan about his success a browser based flash game targeted at unemployed Japanese nationalist pedophiles.

>>11628523
My torpedo monster is pretty underleveled and if possible I would want to avoid them. I was hoping I could cheese it without them.

>>11628528
I know. Had a bit of bad luck crafting even when I was using 10/90/90/30 with a BB flaghship.

>>11628530
I was actually hoping for alternative solutions, but looks like I had to try my luck at the 46cm. Power leveling Ooi and Kitakami together is going to be hard.

So generally, Kitakami/Ooi combo, one more 46cm and Type-3.

>>11628505
You should equip them with double attack at night battle. Although it always happens, the damage is pretty unreliable. Without crit, it pretty much cause no damage at all.

>>11628545
The only ships easier to level than Kitakami and Ooi are SS and CVs.

>>11628549
If I remember correctly, everyone except for Murakumo does double attacks.

>>11628505 here, I forget there exists a 12.7mm AA. I was referring to 12.7cm連装高角砲, hope it does not caused any confusion. I was looking for something to fill in the remaining slots.

>>11628487
Was that S rank? I have been doing it for a week, the limiting factor is its hard to replenish bauxite.

Are event maps drop tables even on the jp wiki (either of them?)? All my bumbling around produced only the regular ones.

And I just want to know if Nagato drops in E-3.

>>11628570
Click the ドロップ under event maps.

>>11628570
Some parts of them are. Just take a look since you know about the existence of the jp wiki. It's on their event section.

>>11628568
Of course.
In E-3 it is either S rank, SE dead end or elite sub crit. You dont waste your sortie resources to get A rank.

>>11628571
>>11628572

Ok, thanks for the pointer, managed to dug in to the drop report listing. Messy as fuck but usable.

Okay, how does that blue 第一次潜水艦派遣作戦 quest work? I had it active, my subs successfully returned from the 25 hour expedition, but it isn't cleared.

>>11628573
Does the dead end nodes drop the same things as the boss node?

>>11628571
>>11628572
>>11628575

And the answer is a big fat no. S-rank drop from E-5 only. Fuck. I've got better chance farming 3-2, it'll be cheaper too.

Well, at least E-3 drops Zuiho pretty regularly.

>>11628577

I think it's the 48 hour one, #30.

>>11628576
No. If you still need kinugasa or abukuma then yeah you can do that node.
The only other useful node to farm is G node since hatsukaze drops there.

>>11628579
>Zuiho
Do you spell Touhou as Toho, too? I have an intense hatred of you.

>>11628583

No, that was an honest to god typo. I know enough moon to know about long vowels.

>>11628585
Now we can be friends.

>>11628583
What a ho', picking on his 'ho.

>>11628582
Where does Shoukaku drop?

>>11628590
Boss dude.

>>11628579
There is also Agano. I think Agano drop rate in E-5 is much higher than E-3. Seems like most people got her from E-5.

>>11628592

Got her from E-5 too, on one of the first boss runs. A-rank if I remember correctly.

>>11628598
Good thing the event is extended. Going back to E-5 once I get zuikaku, zuihou and hatsukaze from E-3.
Thank god I already got both kumano and suzuya. Farming E-4 must be like hell.

Does having the same equipment on the same ship (for example the radar) work?

>>11628583
>Do you spell Touhou as Toho, too?

Why yes.

>>11628512
who are you quoting?

>>11628535
no, that's why some admiral prefer penguin rather than getting some trash equipment.

>>11628583
at least it's not simakaze or oi.

>>11628663
Welcome to /jp/ newfag, don't try too hard to fit in.

Simakaze or Sima Yi?

>>11628663
Simakaze is just an alternate romanisation form. It's still valid.

Oi, however, just sounds like some angry brit shouting.

>>11628668

oi u gunna get rekd m8

>>11628668
Oi sounds like the name of an ork warboss who equips 40 torpedo tubes as his "guns" and insists that he can still carry more.

>>11628673
40 torpedo tubes is not enough dakka.

>>11628676
It's not loud or flashy either. 46cm on the other hand, it's pretty flashy and loud; add more canons and it's shooty enough.

So THAT's what modernisation is. Gluing flash bitz to their weapons and armour.

>>11628680
The only ones that look orky enough is Yubari. She even wears green!

>>11628681

Do orks watch anime and taste like melon?

>>11628683
No, but dorks do.

>>11628681
Shimakaze too. Clearly her red stockings are the reason she goes so fast.

>>11628683
I expect orks to be really into robot shows because of all them big and shooty things, and the characters are even color-coded for their abilities. So say in Power Rangers Red Ranger is faster than the others, Green Ranger is orkier, Black Ranger is stealthier and so on.

>>11628683

>>11628683
Obviously Yubari is mekboy. The only true warboss is Kongo and her BURNING WAAAUGH!

Oi boyz watz goin on diz dread?

>>11628696

Hah... No.

No matter how you wing it, it's pronounced with the Sh sound, it's not a silent H for god's sake.

島 is just plain o' Shima, not Sima or whatever fanciful pronounciation or romanization you wanna give it.

SO trying to farm E-3 turned out to be a shitty idea.

When exactly are the large construction docks coming?

After the event? I could've sworn they twitted along with the November events, but I don't recall seeing any other twits mentioning whether it was delayed or whatever.

What are the chances that the new ship would be a sub?

>>11628723
Probably after the event. I'm not going to be surprise if they roll it out when Hacchan, Iku and Agano class are craftable; they would probably want Musashi users to feel special for a while.

>>11628726
I'm hoping it'll be the first of the coastal defense ships.

You realize that not everyone would go as far as recording their runs (with the prospect of sorting and trimming them), let alone a PC that can handle kancolle and a recording software?

Whereas "orange ship can't sink" is something that most can agree with, "red ships in a day => night battle transition" is hardly something people would risk it for real.

This test doesn't mean jack shit: it is only 1 sample, with 2 ships that are prone to dodge at night.

>>11628823
/jp/ - Tau'va culture

>>11628787
they already have the art for I-401 (Shibafu's endcard illustration), all they need to do is ride on the anime's hype (not that it was any larger than KanColle's hype to begin with) and implement it.

>>11628845
maybe they should make it a reward for purchasing Arpeggio BDs. have them include a bonus code along with the BD, and have the player input the code in order to receive a free I-401. It would be like premium tanks for World of Tanks. It would be only available from the BD, and won't be craftable or droppable. It would be an effective marketing ploy, as all the military otaku playing KanColle would buy the BDs in droves.

Tried E5 today, depleted all the boss' hp and then I had to press the wrong button and continue the sortie, sinking my Kongou Kai2 in the process. Lost around 24k fuel, 20k ammo and steel and 160 buckets. Unable to continue due to my other Kongou-class ship is Hiei lv 30, losing damage, can't even kill the boss with a expedition fleet anymore, I give up. ;_;

I did get a Yuubari and Zuihou in E5 though.

Moral lesson: Don't do other things when doing event maps.

And with that said, I need to get 20k resources and level a new Kongou. I wonder if that's possible in 8~10 days?

>>11628849
Get. Out. Of. /jp/. You. Fucking. Emoticon. User. Wikia. Is. Where. You. Belong.

>>11628849

Stockpiling and training at the same time? You're better off beefing up Hiei to ~60 and trying again.

>>11628849
I got 30k resources (barring bauxite) and leveled Atago from 25 to 65 in 6 days. Though I did abuse steel node during the first 15k.

It just depends on how willing you are in no-lifing for days.

>>11628848
That would be a greedy thing to do. Kancolle devs are not greedy, they are sadistic. They will not do this.

They will instead implement an E6, identical to E5 except with a level limit, such that you can only get to the boss if all your ships are below level 30. Depleting the boss gauge gives you I401.

>>11628853
Any tips on how to do this? Thinking of leveling in 3-2-1 while doing exped 2,3,5.

>>11628858
Did you do this >>11628861

>>11628852
Not sure if this is an intentional "make people upset" post, but ";_;" as been accepted for a long time. It's a reference to the old 4chan banner ads.

>>11628863
Yes, 3-2 with flagship + subs until you fill your daily quota of steel, as well as doing 2-3 with subs to finish daily sortie quests.

>>11628849
Why would you need a lvl50 kongou?
A fully modernized hiei hits as hard. You could even use a lvl1 throwaway. Your DD or CLT are the finisher, not the kongous. They are just there to kill the escorts.

>>11628874
flagship + subs only? Not the 1 sub/CVL/CLT/etc?

>>11628880
Yes. It should work well if you have 4, but if you don't have 4 feel free to bring throwaway DDs to mitigate damage.

>>11628786
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2am9Zx5gU0

>>11628849 here.
Out of random impulse, I tried E5 again using the lv30 Hiei replacing the sunk Kongou and after praying to almost every god and goddess I cleared it. I got extremely lucky facing the boss without taking any damage from any nodes, the support fleet took out a huge chunk of hp from the support BBs of the boss, and T-something advantage. Ended up in a night battle with the boss remaining and my Yuudachi at red, gambled and won.
Got Musashi but lost Kongou Kai2 lv86.

Thanks to these people for the idea: >>11628876
>>11628853

and thanks to you guy(s), I know what to do on the next days:
>>11628858
>>11628874
>>11628895

Now I hope Kongou can rest in peace.

>>11628968
Good for you. I'm still trying to clear the damn thing, been at it for more than 12 hours now, still can't sink the bitch

>>11628973
I finished it in 15 hours

>>11628976
What's your support fleet look like?

>>11628984
2 random lv20 DDs, CV/CVL (Kaga, Akagi, Chiyoda, Hiyou) all filled with blue planes

>>11628989
>4cv/l
>blue planes
I found your problem.

>>11628989
Did you know E5 is resistant to CV support fleet?

You should only use 2 CV/CVL max...

>>11628989
I used CVs and they tickled the boss while eating hundreds of bauxite. Switched to shelling soon after, as it didn't seem worth it.

>>11628994
Can someone explain to me why everyone puts 2 CVLs in a support fleet meant for shelling?

>>11628999
Because putting 2CVL/2BB is cheaper than 4BB

>>11628992
>>11628994
>>11628995
Didn't know about that. Well, at least I cleared it. What's done is done!
Wish I knew about that though. Then again, I finished it with 1k fuel remaining down from 29k.

>>11629001
Hm. Their performance is really variable though... I need them to sink at least 2 floating fortresses but they rarely do that. Thinking of actually replacing the CVs with CAs...

>>11628992
Here's a sample of this kind of support :
Not too bad, I say.

>>11629028
What's the original discussion where the picture was posted for?

I remember there's also another picture where the guy used 15.5vice on the CVs.

>>11629030
Welp, not sure. I think I got it from kancolle doorblog around a week ago.

>>11629028
It's 2DD 2CVL 2BB support.

>>11629030
You mean you don't use 15.5cms on your CVs?

Shelling uses the firepower stat so putting anything else on your CVs is just a waste.

>>11629058
Can the same damage calculation really be said for Support Fire?

Either way, I usually load red/blue 2:2 or add in a green depending on the map. I never saw the need to use 15.5vice on CVs.

>>11629071
We're talking about support fleets here.

Unless planes somehow contribute to the damage, which is doubtful as none of the wikis mention it, there's no point putting planes in a support fleet that will shell.

>>11629078
The reason being...?

>>11629055
>>11629030
Sorry about that, yeah, I mixed it up.
Here's my source :
http://kantama.net/archives/953923.html

>>11629076
People put red planes

>>11629080
They suppose to help shelling. Why don't you do some experiments and come back?

>>11629058
Are you sure you are calculating properly?
Shelling for carrier-type vessels
Basic attack power = (Firepower + Torpedo) × 1.5 + aircraft divebomb stat × 2 + 55

15.5 only gives 7*1.5
Putting Suisei on Chitose lowest slot still give more attack power.

>>11629087
Shelling uses the firepower stat, doesn't it?

I'll test it, but I didn't get nearly as good results as the montage on that doorblog link using all Suiseis. Might be because I'm using all Suiseis, so I'll put a bunch of Ryuusei Kais and try it out.

>>11629099
>>11629087
First of all, the damage formula quoted above is only applicable during shelling phase for actual combat, for CV/CVL.

We have no idea if Support Fire are affected by the same formula or are there hidden variables. The 15.5vice I mentioned was on this picture which some anon posted where the guy had it on the last slot for his CVs, with some words which I can't for my life remember what they were. Probably something to do with increasing accuracy.

>>11629083
>>11629087
>>11629109

Well... I wanted to test it but just as I was about to do so, I somehow completed E-5. I also had this superstition that somehow worked most of the time where I'd get much better luck if I didn't look at the screen during the battle (yes, I know it's extremely stupid but it somehow really helped).

All I can say is, I stacked Ryuusei Kais instead of vice guns on my CVs and by the end of day battle the boss was at half health with both princesses heavily damaged and all floating fortresses killed.

>>11629117
Why didn't you use Model 12A?

>>11629109
That chart was for E-4 where they were using pure air support and not shelling support.

>>11629117
>I also had this superstition that somehow worked most of the time where I'd get much better luck if I didn't look at the screen during the battle (yes, I know it's extremely stupid but it somehow really helped).


I thought listening to the battle music every time helped my girls fight better, and now I can't stand to listen to the music anymore after clearing the event.

Anyone else have stupid superstitions?

>>11629117
Congratulations!

I share your superstition too. I always looked away from my screen in most fight, but mostly it's also because I can't bear seeing them eating crits.

>>11629124
you need 3 CV(L) to trigger air support, with only 2 its shelling.

>>11629126
This, I'm too nervous watching each hit.

>>11629125
I look away from the compass to pretend I don't care and make the compass girl stop wanting to troll me.

I rub boss boobs to make them loose their composure

Just after the plane phase I shoot "AND NOW ITS TIME FOR THE SUPPORT FLEET" to ensure they'll come

I listen to kancolle music (not necessarily the game's), too.

>>11629128
I dont even know anymore.
What is the use for reppu when it is just anti air stats??

>>11629126
>>11629129
I wonder how you guys could stand that. I HAD to watch over my girls, I feel obligated to oversee every battle.

>>11629122
I did, but I only had two. The rest of the slots were filled with Ryuusei Kais.

Anyway, you should take this result with a large helping of salt as I did not look at the screen until the day battle was over as I managed to get 2 perfect S in the previous nodes by not looking at the screen. You start believing all sorts of things and seeing all manner of patterns that aren't there when you're going through RNG hell. I was planning on looking properly on the next few sorties had I failed this one as well.

>>11629132
Reppu isn't needed for Support Fire. Are you sure you aren't new to the game?

Just think a little, what can anti-air fighters be used for.

>>11629145
Look at the picture.
Akagi has reppu on the first slot

>>11629132
Go try air support (not shelling support). You'll find out why.

>>11629150
Having reppu reduce baux usage but also reduce damages.

>>11629150
If you also read the column above that picture, you'd know he's testing Reppu on Akagi to see the various efffects.

I guess plebs always need to get the information spoonfed to them instead of trying to figure out Japanese.

>>11629125
Well, at E-3 I tried to be the most indifferent and calm possible, because I felt that in that way the RNG and the Compass girls will not trolling me so much, specially when the boss bar was depleted.

I watched every battle because I couldn't stand not watching my ships performance.

Oh, and the Never give up video, that really helped me when I was feeling down because RNG and the Compass.

>>11629173
>the Never give up video
I've not been here for weeks already. Care to share?

>>11629181
It's the old Matsuoka Shuzo meme.

Are any event maps worthwhile for Nagato or Mikuma or am I done with it until that extension girl is added?

>>11629230
Well, there are the Gumos to get. Mikuma is E4 and Nagato is E5 and I'm not touching those again.

>>11629230
Wait for the new ship to be added, then grind E-5 for everything.

Anyone else have issues with flash projector trying to get the game to load after it's been closed?

I'm a rather new admiral who just cleared E-5, and I was sort of wondering. For those of you who were around when the Yamato event was ongoing, how hard was it relative to this event?

There are vids on youtube and so on, just watch them and judge for yourself. You're experienced enough to do so.

>>11629269
Much easier compared to this event. If you also followed their twitter postings, you'd know they specifically mentioned that the event around will be much harder.

>>11629277
I don't think everyone is autistic enough to read every single twitter post.

>>11629282
Never doubt /jp/

>>11629269
Can't say for sure since I've only reached E-3 during the summer event. But I'd say I've stressed out a lot more during this event than lasts.

>>11629282
Since when autistic means "doing stuff I'd be too lazy too do" ?
A whole day worth of tweet from the staff is readable in like, 15 minutes, and you can go down to 10 if you rule out on sight the lottery / server lags tweet.

Most people poop a shit a day, this is the perfect time to do it.

Reading all of their tweets religiously is a serious symptom of autism

>>11629290
The problem isn't that you read them, but the fact that you somehow expect everyone else to read them.
It's completely misplaced elitism. Not only that, but it's for a game where skill is hardly a factor. I can understand some people feeling superior for being able to no-bomb through lunatic Touhou runs, but looking down on people just because they don't read every single twitter post by the staff is just absurd.

>>11629295
I don't recall religion being a part of the discussion.. It just depends on what kind of player / gamer you are. I like knowing as much as I can about what I'm doing.

>>11629299
Perhaps I'm not the anon you think, but regardless, in the post you quoted I wasn't looking down on people not reading all tweets, but that guy who thinks doing so is a symbol of autism.

>>11629299
They have to cling onto something to feel superior after all.

I must have spent 15k+ on resources for the crane sluts at E6. Maybe I should have tried crafting instead. Anyone have a good recipe for them? For dailies, I have been trying 400/30/400/300 with Akagi as flag.

>>11629292
I see. How was the summer event easier exactly? Was it devoid of compass trolling, night battle shenanigans or questionable day-battle triggers?

>>11629299
Yeah, because no one ever posted that message on the twitter here before, right? The difficulty of this event was also never discussed here before right?

The fact is that people are too fucking lazy to read, it has nothing to do with elitism nor autism.

>>11629277
For map/system difficulty itself, Autumn one is much harder.
Because
* Enemies now do coverup
* You can't continue the sortie if flagship got red damaged.
* You can't use CVs in most part of this event.

But for me, Summer event was much much harder because of my low level fleet, weaker weapons and insufficient resources.
Also I couldn't decide if I can push forward with orange damaged ships at that time.

Autumn event was like a cake walk.

Here. Decide for yourself. It felt easier because there wasn't any bullshit forced-day battles that seem obscure in triggering them.

Since when are people expected to read the archives to participate in a thread?
If you look at the OP, under the must read section, I don't see a link to all of the previous archive threads.
Or are you basically saying that newcomers shouldn't be allowed in these thread, because that seems like elitism to me.

>>11629306
Yes. Plus the fact you can continue on with a red flagship.

3-4 is a pretty accurate gauge for the difficulty of E-4 summer.

Don't know why you want to know though, it's not like it matters anymore.

>>11629322
I don't know what the Wikia's update section was ever set up for.
