>>11989467
Based on the time between threads, it's safe to say this game is dead now.

>>11989473
I tried to make one earlier, but I forgot to press submit while playing the game itself.

>>11989473
dead on /jp/ at best, dead in Japan not really

I don't think it'll work as effectively anymore.

>>11989473
It is not like there is anything to talk about besides bragging about resources.
We havent get any new relevant content since LSC.

Yesss, I finally grinded Yuudachi to 99. SOLOMON, I HAVE RETURNED!

>>11989473
>>11989492
And when Midway comes, it'll be alive again, with all the posts concerning about map rewards, formation tips and tactics, info about new ships, etc etc.
And of course questions that has already been answered for the nth time.

>>11989473
The /a/ threads are alive and well because everybody realized they don't give a shit about the game and/or /jp/.

What if we don't make thread for one week after Midway?

>>11989513
What if I want to rub it in at scrubs that cant get Shinano? By the way did anyone get their red box to 99 yet?

I wonder what is the chances of them releasing the suika decoration again?

Reminder that subject field is important.

Is it next maintenance yet? I want my new and shiny Kirishima and Haruna remodels.
stockpiling is so boring.

>>11989527
Wait three days, anon.

>>11989527
>>11989530
Pretty sure it's on the 28th.

>>11989530
It's another Friday maintenance, isn't it? And you'll be waiting a while longer for Haruna Kai 2.

>>11989535
not the person you're responding to, but I didn't know it either.

>>11989473
This is good. These threads used to be slow and relaxed, now we're returning to that pace.

>>11989473
So many people responding to this bad troll.

>>11989527
Me too, anon. Best Kongous, and I'm (possibly naively) optimistic that their kai2 might actually look better than king kongou and pantsu on head lesbian.

Sometimes I'm sure 1-5 boss node doesn't want me to S-rank it, sometimes my ship missed to attack the flagship, or simply didn't deal enough damage, or getting red T

The positive thing is I'm starting to get CL and CA like Kako, this surely means Iku and Hachi will sooner or later drop, r-right?

>>11989597
Yeah, I hope too that Konishi will make them look better after the criticism of the first two

Who stockpile here?

Mine was 150k+ and counting and 700 buckets+

>>11989623
Here, 4k+ and 600 buckets, I started yesterday.

>>11989623
1k+ and 20bucket.. c-can I join you guys?

>>11989623
Only at 65-75k, 700+ buckets too.

Gambare admirals! Mine was 50k and 459 buckets.

>>11989623
1.3k buckets, cleared LSC and stockpiling.
There is only 1ship that I am missing now.

>>11989630
Hatsukaze?

>>11989630
lucky bastard.

>>11989625
You can, for first 2 maps. Then either 1)lady luck and captain awesome along with RNG are on your side and you push further or 2)you start crying like a little bitch because the maps are way too hard.

>>11989633
Don't confuse scripting with luck, anon.

次回の「艦これ」全サーバ群共通メンテナンス＆アップデートは【3/28(金)】実施予定です。次回メンテナンスに伴うアップデートでは、夜戦における戦艦同士の殴り合いを演じた彼女の改装(改造)実装や、【家具】などの更新を予定しています…決戦は金曜日…お楽しみに！

How will you feel when it turns out to be 5-6?

>>11989637
Fuck this shit! I'm out!

>>11989637
Somone in the previous thread noted that it's just a song's title, not a hint for new maps:
>>11986573

>>11989637
inb4 April Fool

>>11989637
Translations?

>>11989655
Musashi will be LSC after friday update.

>>11989637
That's exactly what they said about 5-5. It's not the event but it could be another extra operation.

>>11989660
I want her so bad

>>11989637
There's nothing special about that phrase you quoted, they have been using it since Feb and even earlier.

It's also the name of a famous song which they're making a reference to.

>>11989535
Nope, the latest tweets suggest otherwise

I'm pretty sure that OP torp salvo is affected by engagement form modifiers, even if it's not announced yet.

>>11989677
Zoophilia is not healthy.

>>11989699
Sup, Hibari

This is going to be cool.

Huh. Didn't realize that logbook also have quest tracker.

Is there any point in using BBVs besides sub-hunting?

>>11989623
I've been doing it for a few months now, over 250k and 1k buckets.

>>11989634
yea missing hatsukaze.


>>11989636
But I don't script, I just do long expedition. If I script ex2 my ammo wouldn't be this pitiful.

Can't wait for them to add Sakawa on the last week of Midway event.

I just want my Amagi and Katsuragi.

>>11989527

Why do we think the remodel is coming next update? Haven't they talked about Tone class and such before and it is nowhere to be seen?

Or is it just your normal case of fake rumors, and all the real remodel information is for the closest update?

>>11989778
it's stated here >>11989637

>>11987742

>>11989944
Twitter.

Honestly that shit is pretty funny.

>>11989958
Well, the reaction goes more to Shibafu than the one who posted that picture. No harm done, hopefully.

>>11989943
Apparently the nips are taking it in good stride; to them it's like /a/ is praising Shibafu's art.

>>11989943
>>11989996
/jp/ made that picture though.

>>11990019
Most likely a crossboarder from /a/ I think.

>>11990019
I don't think /jp/ would make another thread only for that shit.

Chronic ammo shortage.

Am I doing anything wrong?

>>11990041
Don't sortie, spam exp2. easy.

>>11990041
Don't remodel your ships and they use less ammo.

>>11990031
General threads are and will always be shit, though.

>>11990049
Still, no reason for him to make a new thread.

>>11990029
sasuga those crossboarding scum filth

>>11990053
You can make a thread for anything you think might become a discussion.

>>11989996
But the picture actually is praising Shibafu's art? I don't get it.

>>11990062
The responses are like 'sasuga Shibafu, he can have that kind of hardcore fan'

Just got a popup YES/NO message while playing with the keyword 更新 in it, selecting YES resulted in a page refresh. using KCV + Logbook + Cookie Hack.

Does anyone know where to find the OST for this game, if possible in indivual tracks, I have seen some links to some of the themes, like the 2 new ones, posted recently here, but I can't find the archive where they are located.

>>11990138
Decompile primary swf files.

Woah I am slow, I just realized that the nazis gun is different.
What now?
10cm vs nazi 12.7?
It is basically 1accuracy vs 7AA. Which is going to be more important for you guys?

>>11990179

10cm all the way.

>>11990179
You want to have your DDs get rekt by Wo even more for having 1-5% more chance to deal that 7 damage they usually do?

Fuck. Everything was going good and fine, I even got T-Cross on Wo, and then

Took me long enough.
I'm level 99, did anyone else get her under lvl70? I keep hearing she only drops over a certain TTK level.

>>11990316
I never got any subs from 1-5, started grinding at TTK 13, TTK 41 right now and still no subs.

>>11990316
80+.

>>11990323
Apparently Iku drops only from 40+.

It's just RNG, keep going.

>>11990328
Fuck, I wasted a good chunk of this week farming it for subs because 2-4 was so hard. Did about 200 runs. Good thing I leveled dem DDs and CLs to mid-40s though.

My gains are getting destroyed and I have one more 48hour expedition to go

I miss you my subs

Thank you Mutsukis you did your job well.
Now just go into this room for your reward, Goya is already waiting for you...

>>11990481
Why are you afraid to show your resources, anon

>>11990335
No, you still wasted hours of your life.

>>11990481
You're a monster. That crying Kisaragi.

>>11990485
Because I started stockpiling yesterday, not even 10k yet.

Let's keep up the good work this week as well!

>>11990708
It's to commemorate his clearance of 3-2 six months or so back.

>>11990323
Fucking Imuya dropped from a non-boss node. I don't need any more Imuyas. Please stop giving me Imuyas.

>>11990849

The game definitely knows what you want and what you do not care about.

I got an iku from my first boss win in 1-5. Naturally I had mine since event. An extra is welcome however.

>>11990875
I only went to 1-5 like 10 times for the clear and weeklies and I got 2 Iku + 2 Goya, scrapped 3 of them since I already had 4 of each.

>>11990896
That's just, uh, your opinion, man.

>>11990896

The game's definition of a story seems to consist only of copy pasted wikipedia articles instead of some originality.

>>11990923
That not it's definition of a story, it just briefly summarizes the real ship. The game doesn't have a story at all, perhaps with the exclusion of "Aliens called the abyss are attacking us with naval ships arranged into the same classifications we use, go get em". Were you expecting one?

I'm not a fan of this social game but I thank OP for not making stupid jokes like the annoying last OP did. I hope he never makes a thread again.

I've heard that I should set my destroyers up to do double attack during night battle, should I use 2 main guns and leave a slot empty? Also, do aa guns count as secondary guns?

>>11990994
there is a wiki

>>11990994
Depends on the AA gun.

Last slot depends on circumstance. List is in decreasing order of priority; if you don't have any of them just leave it blank.

Sonar if against some subs.
Turbines/boilers if you believe in evasion (most people don't).
Damecon to play it safe.
DD Radar if you have them.
AA gun that doesn't count as a main or secondary weapon, if you have them.

>>11990896
But Akagi has more flight decks than that.

>>11991005
Is there a list of secondary AA guns? Is the 10cm Twin High-angle Mount a secondary?

>>11991013
Read the fucking wiki, retard.

>>11991015
it doesn't say, or at least I can't find info on secondary AA guns.

>>11991013
>>11991021
Check the equipments page.

>>11991021
Try looking past the front page.

>>11990968
You're welcome.

Please don't categorize High-Angle Gun as AA Gun.

>>11991024
I'm guessing that you're talking about this

Green Gun: High-angle dual-purpose guns or AA machine guns

"High-angle guns have the ability to attack both aircraft and ships.

AA machine guns specifically attack aircraft and always trigger tracer-fire effect. "

So do high angle guns count as secondary guns?

>>11991028
Look at the god damn equips. Don't just read the top.

>>11991031
"防空型駆逐艦の主砲です。
画期的な長砲身半自動装填砲を動力砲塔に備えた「長10cm」と呼ばれた新型の防空用高角砲で、 「秋月」型駆逐艦に搭載されました。
複雑な構造のため量産には不向きでしたが、敵機の跳梁を抑える艦隊防空の切り札の一つです。

"Main weapon for AA destroyers. The groundbreaking long-barrel semi-automatic loaded gun mounted on turret, populary known as Long 10cm, equipped on Akizuki-class destroyers. Its complex structure made it difficult to mass-production, but it's one of silver bullet against enemy aircrafts."

One of Japan's relatively successful anti-air weapon, being equipped on carrier Taihou, light cruiser Oyodo and Akizuki-class destroyers (the illustration shows the turret-mounted variant seen on Akizuki-class; Oyodo and Taihou were equipped with carriage-mounted ones). Both muzzle velocity and operating speed were increased significantly compared to traditional destroyer guns, making it more effective toward enemy aircrafts. In real world its anti-surface ability was not as high due to accuracy and ammunition mass but has the same firepower stat in-game as twin 12.7cm. Although the gun proved effective, Japanese Navy's anti-air ability was still lagged behind with the anti-air fire control device being outdated.

It is easily accessible in-game as most of destroyers bring this upon modification, chief developer Mr Tanaka once regreted this weapon "was deployed rather too early, even before Akizuki-class appear in-game" in an interview. "

...I still don't know if this counts as secondary or not.

>>11991034
Nigga you aren't reading the right wiki.

http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Equipment
Just leaving this here.

Is there anyone else who absolutely loves some of the characters even though he doesn't play the game?

It's so much easier this way because you don't have to lose months of your life, and you can always listen to their voices, read doujinshi, look at the sprites and leave nothing out.

You can enjoy everything about the characters that players enjoy just without the unnecessary frustration.

>>11991043

But you miss out on the bonding, which makes being with your ships so much more worth it.

>>11991043

>>Is there anyone else who absolutely loves some of the characters even though he doesn't play the game?

You gotta play d00d so you'll know and love all the ship girls and not just some.

Go fap to Murakumo's doujinshi. She's a starter ship girl, but in the end she's one of my favorites now.

It's feeding time.

>>11991294
Yuubari, even if you take that pair of melons you won't get any bigger. You're already perfect~

>>11991294
Yubari is so under appreciated by fan artists.

Got my monkey ears. Holy crap, that 2400 ammo and steel. This better be worth it.

>>11991007
That's her butt.

I can finally leave 4-3!

>>11991373
I'd rather get her from LSC instead of farming the same map over and over. Not like I've fully completed my library yet.

>>11991367
Huh. I didn't look clearly enough.

>>11991376
LSC is too scary for a chicken TTK like myself. Plus I kind of enjoyed the past month or so of farming.

>>11991373
Why are you not doing 5-2? Hard M?

Mikuma dropped from my fourth and last proper 5-2 run.

Despite that I still don't have a Yuubari even though I roll rare destroyer every day and she drops like candy anyway.

>>11991394

Looks like you haven't eaten enough melons lately. Time to create a new ritual.

>>11991400
They're such a hard fruit to eat.

Well, no pain, no gain.

>>11991394
Heh I got her from my last 5-2 excursion, but no Mikuma. No worries I'm not in any hurry to get her so I'll just see if she drops while I try to craft for Bismarck/Yamato.

>>11991443
No, you pretty much said it all.

So are repair teams/goddesses any use at all if you don't continue a fight with heavy damage? Since it only seems to prevent sinking.

Where is a good place to train BB's?

>>11991448
PVP. They eat MVP like candy.

>>11991097
That's what wikiwiki says, at least, but I'm not sure whether that's true or not.

You didn't craft her did you?

>>11991459
>They eat MVP like candy.

That sounds really unhealthy.

>>11991448
To marry one I just did fatigue farming at 3-2-A. It was expensive but the fastest method I could think of. You put her in flagship, take three carriers loaded with blue planes, a CLT, and a sub. You can do that back to back forever since the opening air strike isn't affected by fatigue. But you still have to switch out the CLT and sub when they go orange. Otherwise yeah, you're stuck with PvP. At least they're still needed against sub fleets.

>>11991459
>>11991478
Since stockpiling got boring (120k ammo, 50k everything else plus 280 buckets) i took under my wing the Kongo Sisters, relegated to second place by Mutsu, Ise, Hyuuga and Yamashitro on my fleet. I never had the need of more BB's but i guess i'll need fast BB's in the future for whatever reason.

3-2A and PVP will do the job, then. Thanks.

>>11991497
>120k ammo, 50k everything else
...how? I have 80k of everything else and climbing up steadily, but ammo just refuses to go up beyond 50k. Please teach me your secrets.

>>11991525
ex2 and ex5 everyday.

>>11991461
I crafted Goya, and all the rest were from 1-5 after clearing it once. I forget which node exactly she dropped from, but she was my 2nd non-Maruyu submarine. Not sure if I was below TTK lvl70 or not.

>>11991525
The only thing i may be doing different than you is the expeditions i use.

I always use Fleet 2 for Expedition 2, so ammo and steel i also get with it.
For Fleet 3 i used Expedition 3 for steel and ammo and fuel.
And for Fleet 4 i used Expedition 5 for more fuel, ammo, steel and bauxite.

That configuration gives me lots of ammo in the long run but i guess it skyrocketed when i changed Exp 3 for Exp

Doing them all day everyday and not sortieing that much is what I've been doing.
Fuel and ammo gains died when i started farming bauxite, though.

>>11991545
I see, so wikiwiki might be wrong in this case.

I don't know, then.

>>11991549
>for Exp
For Expedition 21.

How?

>>11991604
Clear your cache.

>>11991604

>>11991624
Yamato and Musashi

>>11991624

Hatsukaze.

>>11991628
you forgot Shinano

Start a night battle, don't be a pussy.

so basically this game is like pokemon but with ship gals instead

>>11991659
Yes.

>>11991659
It's actually worse because you don't get to control anything during the battles. It's all done automatically through RNG.

Which is great for me because I like gambling, cute girls, and having something to click on while waiting through loading screens.

>>11991659
Are we going to compare every single card collection game to Pokemon now?

>>11991393
I wanted Mikuma so I swore not to advance on to 4-4 until I got her. I still haven't sortied on that area, let alone 5-1. So yes, hard M.

>>11991673
Pokemon is mostly autopilot too. You build a team before the fight starts that'll be super effective and spam all the strongest moves. And if you think of selecting moves as choosing equipment it's pretty much the exact same thing. There's no items or swapping out but it also takes a lot of attempts to bring down a boss. You don't have to grind resources in Pokemon but levels and remodeling is still key. It's also easy enough to get every single character in the game if you have the patience. It's not a deep game but there's still long term strategizing going on.

>>11991684
>It's also easy enough to get every single character in the game if you have the patience.
You have to trade with people to actually get every single Pokemon which Kancolle doesn't. In fact, the concept of trading is one of Pokemon's best known gameplay mechanics.

>>11991696
Forgot to mention breeding. We don't let Kanmusus fuck each other to give birth superior ships do we now?

>>11991702
We do feed ships to improve other ships though

>>11991696
Trading could create a secondary market in KanKore as it is right now. How many TTKs missed Musashi that would be willing to pay for her? Shioi? Don't want to spend resources on the new LSC recipe? Not saying that's anything bad, but it's not likely Kadokawa wants to foster it either, since it's money out of their pockets on a game that already isn't very profitable according to them.

>>11990481

http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Expedition#Conditions

>>11991749
He was obviously asking how that guy specifically does those expeditions after getting rid of his Mutsukis.

>>11991755
Mutsuki = DD, DD =/= Mutsuki

>>11991755
You can do it without Mutsukis.

>>11991770
Is the ammo reduction bonus for mutsuki only or all DD?

>>11991761
Mutsukis are still the cheapest DDs to feed. No reason to waste resources.

>>11991791
>No reason to waste resources.

Yes there is.

To make your ships and shipfu happy.

>>11991795
My shipfu is Re-chan, she's already very happy with my offerings every day.

>>11991799
You must be living everday in agony not being able to marry her.

>>11991795
Yeah sure. 20 extra ammo every 3 hours is going to stop me from using the ships I want.

>>11991803
Meant to quote >>11991791

>>11991802
Yeah. My despair and tears are delicious.

>>11991814
You must be a masochist. Are you a masochists? Because I am a masochist and I love Re-Re very much too!

>>11991824
Re is the cutest.

This TTK knows his shit

>>11991824
No idea. I don't feel anything besides despair and desire to feed her anymore.

>>11991835
At least he did not marry a Myoukou class

>>11991843

>>11991843

Oh, yesterday I had that guy in my pvp list.

he is missing zuikaku

Flat CVL's only.

>>11991854
Except Zuikaku is not flat, she's less developed than the bigger CV but still has a nice rack.

>>11991781
For Mutsukis only.

Today I made Yuudachi my secretary again, after about 5 months of being on the bench. I sure missed poking her, she's so fun to poke.
Is there a ship you forgot to poke but now enjoy poking again-poi?

Inazuma is the most fun to tease

Do you really want to spend all your luck trying to bully her instead of spending it on Midway?

What's the easiest place to get Uzuki?

>>11992008

>>11992008

I've been jerking it to re-chan 5x per day since she came out. I... I don't think I can keep going anymore.

>>11992006
I mean "bully" if you know what I mean.

>>11992016
You lost me.

The hell is up with Isuzu Kai2, first she eats a cut in from a Nagato and 2 double attacks from light cruisers for breakfast

Help, me, ttk.
I got Hacchan yesterday and I can't stop staring at her ZR.

>>11992031
It's perfectly normal, anon.

>>11992031
Reminds me how I couldn't stop staring at Goya's bulge when I first got her.

>>11992008
first node 5-5/5-4

>>11992031
I intentionally damage hacchan so I can stare at her torn mizugi.

>>11992043
you know the image is in the library, right?

>>11992106
I can't touch her from the library. I prefer to have her do vocalize when I touch her and her clothes are torn up.

What's a good fleet composition to S-rank the 4-3 boss with a newly wedded Imuya?

Fast BB, aka Kongous/Bismarck.

>>11992291
fast BBs are not battle cruisers

>>11989480

It's dying in Japan too. We'll see if anime revitalizes it or is it going to be the final nail.

>>11992300
citation needed

>>11992300
I'm fine with an anime because it can at least make something out of an not so interesting game like this one.

It boomed in the first place because everyone didn't want to see the same touhou characters again and again and wanted a quick replacement.

>>11992300

You guys reckon that Million Arthur may have a chance of beating this?

yea, kancolle is dying.

>>11992329
They did say the game wasn't making that much money and had to rely on products to actually make a profit out of the franchise.

>>11992333
they said that way before the implementation of marriage, also for videogame I'm referring to the psvita game.

>>11992291
Fast BBs don't have a different hull classification from slow BBs, doofus.

>>11992299
Aren't battlecruisers BCs?

>>11992306
I'm quite sure that's not why it boomed.

>>11992333
They were never making any profit from the game, dumbass. The game's popularity was independent of the amount of money earned from the game.

>>11992347
I didn't say anything about the game making any profit numbnuts. I only stated what has been said before.

>>11992347
> I'm quite sure that's not why it boomed.
What do you think? Surely not because of twitter hysteria, right?

>>11992353
Pretty sure it was military plus the girls. Add to the fact that they were IJN ships which carries with them their respective histories.

>>11992356
Milota are incredibly diminutive niche, you know. It's a miracle that the game became so popular.

>>11992347
Use the latest KCV and see what it calls the Kongou class as.
The guy was asking what CC means in this contest so I just explained CC are Kongou class BB aka Fast BB.
If you have problem ask the guy who made/translate KCV why he decided to use CC for the Kongou class.

>>11992351
You were implying the game was dying as shown by lack of profits.

>>11992353
Actually, seems to be the case (in part at least); Kohta Hirano ranted about his shipgirls sinking on Twitter around last July, so there were plenty of nips attributing it to that.

In addition, the main draw of this game was that unlike Cinderella Girls, this game isn't a F2P game that was P2W.

>>11992365
Oh that. I didn't mean it that way though, sorry for the misunderstanding.

>>11992347
it seems there are different opinions about the designation for Battlecruisers, I'm no expert to say which is right.
Doesn't really matter since there are no Battlecruisers in the game yet and therefore whichever is used it's wrong anyway.

>>11992360
I sorta saw it like how GuP contributed to the sudden number of players of WoT when it was airing. I could be wrong though since if I were asked, I'm in it mainly because of its historical background.

>>11992309
Not a chance, that game is a piece of RNG shit that kinda requires you to hate large amount of money.

>>11992360
that's why they combined it with cute girls, because that will reach a bigger audience. Not being P2W also helps.

Kancolle is an autism game where having time trump having money.
Everything else on the market is a pay2win game.

>>11992376
I don't know. Some of those I know who plays KC is getting on to that game. Not that I have a problem with that. I'm just wondering whether it will attract far more players since as far as I know it's in English. I still don't know much about the game since it didn't catch my interest.

>>11992360
See >>11992365

>>11992363
Well shit, looks like I got misled.

I don't use KCV so I can't say, but Kongous are classified as BBs in the game so I don't know why he's not using BBs for them.

I'll bring it up to him next time I see him around here.

>>11992389
the old versions use BB for them, but for some reasons the newest one switched to CC.

>>11992365
I doubt a single man(who's not very popular anyway) could start chain reaction of such proportions.
>>11992372
> I'm in it mainly because of its historical background.
That's...really interesting reason to play KanColle. Like, really.
>>11992381
The game had very little advertisement until it boomed. That bigger audience needs to know about the game first.

Why are Mogami and Mikuma holo rare whereas the superior Kumano and Suzuya are only gold at best?

>>11992393
Mogami is probably holo due to her very early modernization level.

Mogami is probably to reflect her very low drop rate, and packed with the 20.3 gou cannon.

>>11992392
Well I'm sorry that being a WWII history nerd which made me interested in the game bothers you.

>>11992394
>mogami
I obviously meant Mikuma for the second sentence

>>11992270
>>11992291
>>11992363
Well shit, I just noticed you implied he called Bismarck a battlecruiser too. Even if there was some justification for calling the Kongous battlecruisers, there isn't any for Bismarck.

>>11992390
I'm hoping it's a typo.

If it's not, then we need to point this out to him:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_battleship
There is no separate classification for slow and fast BBs

>>11992392
Maybe it became some sort of meme or something in Japan, and drew the nips' attention to the game. I don't know, I'm not one of them.

>>11992393
>superior Kumano and Suzuya
But all have the same stats.

>>11992392
how did you learn about the game?
First I saw and remember were defenitly pictures of cute girls posted around here.
Most people probably just saw pictures on the net.

>>11992394
Isuzu Kai isn't horo either

>>11992400
Only ships which are silver or rarer in their base form may apply.

>>11992396
Sorry if I offended you. I'm pretty much in the same boat as you, though I'm WWII aviation nerd. Dem Doras are a work of art, man.

http://www.dcr.net/~stickmak/JOHT/joht39shipvscruiser.htm

Fast Battleship are Battleships that can go at cruiser speed. Kongou class designation was changed to Fast Battleship after their upgrade in armor and firepower, but they're BB not CC or w/e people here invented.

>>11992396
I find it somewhat funny when people get all serious and look for "deep" reasons to indulge themselves into a simple game.

There are a lot of those in this thread who are like that and spammed in previous threads walls of text about some shit from over 60 years ago that doesn't even have anything to do with the damn game. It's silly.

>>11992412
Fuck you, the story about Yuudachi made me shiver with excitement.

>>11992393
Why are Shimakaze and Yukikaze holo rare when the likes of Hatsukaze and Naganami are only gold at best?

>>11991843
I guess she's popular to some people.

>>11992418
Her damaged sprite.

>>11992393
>>11992417
And only when remodelled too; they drop with silver.

>>11992408
Nah it's okay I wasn't being serious that much.
I'm also fond of anything WWII especially weaponry from ships to planes to tanks and to guns. I do hope we get a USN ship, say like Enterprise. I like them Hellcats.
>>11992412
Having a bit of knowledge of the historical background of the ships sorta helps especially when guessing who gets a Kai ni or who's the new ship. It also helps giving you an idea of an event based on history.
And since they're ships personified, call it silly though but it sorta made me sympathetic with them, especially after what happened with Inazuma and Ikazuchi

>>11992426
We'll never get USN ships, silly. Or any non-axis ships. With such jabs as * inch cannons that abyssal girls use it is obvious.

>>11992438
They need it for the longevity of the game. There's only so many other ships from the KM and RM and nobody is going to be very excited about more destroyers.

If only ZUN!bar was here...

>>11992406
Shigure, Yuudachi and Kiso would like to have a word with you

>>11992454
Kai 2 is a different matter altogether.

>>11992459
well, Isuzu kai 2 still only has gold color.

Maikaze really brighten my days. I thought she would be plain annoying at first, but that was completely wrong

>>11992466
Well, I have no idea actually. I just think that rarity is something the devs randomly assign.

KTKM also goes from silver to holo when she remodels into CLT. It was probably their policy to give job change a larger rarity boost initially then they stopped doing that.

>>11992471
>Ship rarity is assigned by some form of RNG lottery.
Sounds about right

>>11992466
Isn't that because she's the first Kai 2 in the game? I guess devs initially wanted ships to jump only 1 tier after second remodel, but holo backgrounds looked too pretty to resist.

>>11992484
Pretty sure Hibiki was the first Kai 2 in game.

>>11992489
Or maybe Yuudachi-Poi?

>>11992335

Shitloads of people hate the marriage system.

Look how rare marriage fanarts are.

>>11992329

All of that was announced at the time when Kancolle was at the peak of popularity.

They were also desperate to sell anything since game wasn't making any money.

>>11992504
The should rename it to ship of trust already.

>>11992446

Nobody in Japan will give a fuck about US ships either.

Pretty much all IJN ships are already in game. People wanted Bismarck, they got Bismarck.

What is left? Some UK ships no one in Japan cares about? US ships that will cause the right wing retards to go full autism mode?

Game is pretty much done.

>>11992504
>Shitloads of people hate the marriage system.
Where?
>Look how rare marriage fanarts are.
Only a handful of players is drawing fanart. It's as much of an indicator as the speed of these threads.
>>11992510
Did the name "Marriage (Placeholder)" have too much sarcasm for you to understand?

>>11992493
Hibiki got it before Poi, who got it before PTSD.

Not sure when Isuzu got hers though.

>>11992520
>What is left? Some UK ships no one in Japan cares about? US ships that will cause the right wing retards to go full autism mode?
Yes. Fuck the right wing retards.

>>11992520
Why do you assume they don't care? I think you're giving them too little credit, not everybody who plays the game is an autist netoyo.
As long as the ships will be cute and beautiful girls, they will be welcomed.

>>11992467
Probably the most cheerful destroyer. I don't know why the 4koma portrays her more like a serious ship.

>>11992525
> Fuck the right wing retards.
Your FREEDOM is spilling out, retard. Please keep this thread free from this shit.

>>11992531

Welcomed for what? They will provide nothing in the game other than taking your limited ship slots. They won't be better than what's already in game.

Waifu collectors will care, no one else will give a crap.

>>11992544
For the record, I'm not American. I live nowhere near the US, and have never once travelled there.

>>11992541
From her confession line I'd say that her cheerful act is probably a cover up for her insecurities.

>>11992549
The game is called Kantai Collection, you are supposed to collect ships. And mid to late war USN ships will certainly have good stats. You just sound really assmad at the Allies for some reason.

>>11992525

Americans want the USN ships. This is a japanese game that officially don't even allow you to play. It's aimed at the japanese.

You really think they want US ships? The ones that sunk their precious ship waifus?

And US ships are already in game. As a bunch of monsters.

US and UK ships will never be playable just for the fact that they use the inch system. The same one as the enemy.

>>11992559

No BB will have better stats than Yamato and Musashi. Only ships that can arguably be better are USN carriers since they'll have better plane capacity at the cost of armor and speed.

And even old IJN ships will be better than new USN ships since they have second remodels.

Western ships will provide nothing gameplay wise.

>>11992559
> The game is called Kantai Collection,
Damn right it's called Kantai Collection. Do you even know what Combined Fleet means? An IJN fleet. Do you know any amer ship in IJN Navy? I don't know any.

>>11992558
Ain't nothing wrong with that. A lot of people do similar stuff to this

>>11992565
>Americans will never be in Kantai Collection because the enemy represents their WW2 military.
Yeah, and Germans will never be in Strike Witches for the same reason.

>>11992575
No BB ever needs to have better stats than Yamato-class because their consumption will be even more unreasonable. It's not like they will add every USN ship, but more subs and carriers would be a good thing.

>>11992584

That's a completely different case. Neuroi ate human planes which is why they sort of look similar.

And german witches were good guys from the start.

>>11992565
You think military otaku give a shit about that? The Arpeggio of Blue Steel manga readers and Strike Witches fans in general will laugh at you if you say that kind of retarded stuff to them.

>>11992575
>Western ships will provide nothing gameplay wise
USS Enterprise's crew was trained to attack at night. And CVs are generally very well sought after in the game, a lot more so than BBs at least.

Also
>implying USN ships won't get second remodels ever

>>11992579
>combined fleet means IJN fleet
>not a combination of fleets

>>11992604

Arpeggio is pretty much nothing but IJN ships. Except one sub foreign ships only had short cameos. And guess what? That one sub was german.

Strike Witches are a different case since the planes their striker units are based on barely matter at all. The WW2 fluff in SW comes from pilots, not machines.

>>11992592
I think it's safe to say we can stop this "discussion" here.

>>11992604
> You think military otaku give a shit about that?
Pretty much all milota are uyoku dantai, retard.
>not a combination of fleets
Japanese, do you speak it? Though I'm sure you're EOP, and this explains a lot about your attitude.

>>11992575
>No BB will have better stats than Yamato and Musashi
Well, they could always make the Montana class a reality...

>>11992604
Give it a rest, that guy is probably Russian or from the Middle East or something with strong butthurt against the US.
And before I'm called an Amerifag, I'm Asian, believes the Axis were the good guys and I still want to see Allied ships because it's a damn game.

>>11992620
Who's Repulse?

>>11992624
>Combined Fleet = (fleet that is a) combination of fleets
>needs to learn Japanese to understand this

>>11992629

Yeah, and next day 20 000 angry right wing players burns their offices because they put a ship stronger than glorious Yamato in game.

And what story would Montana-chan have? She was never even completed.

>>11992633
>Who's Repulse?

A side character that appeared just recently and barely did anything?

>>11992620
>their striker units are based on barely matter at all
The MC plane is based on the best fighter in kancolle. She is also BFF with the allied plane.
People dont give a shit about the origin as long as the girls are cute.

>>11992635
Just like Kiso never got CLT remodel

Gotta love when 5 subs sink 2 ships in OP + final salvo because they all focus on 1.

>>11992635
Don't worry, after they introduce Montana-chan, they'll introduce the Super Yamato class next. Nippon superiority is very much assured, aniki.

And some of the remodels already in the game are based on plans that were never performed/finished, aren't they?

>>11992638
>just recently
Exactly, it'll take time for Allied ships to appear, but eventually they will appear.

>>11992646
Even better when they fire at everything but the flagship CL.

>>11992650

Repulse was sunk in the Pacific along with PoW.

Only reason she's there.

I don't care anymore who likes the game and who doesn't like it. They should just make more porn of it because that's the only thing the girls are good for.

>>11992653
So what's stopping them from adding Allied ships they sank?

I heard stories about people being banned for abusing F5'ing when fleet goes to wrong node. Is it true?

>>11992699
yes

>>11992708
OP already told Wo to go away.

>>11992711
Wo left and then a /pol/-tier discussion came. I rather have Wo back.

>>11992714
For once, I have to agree.
"lol this is ded xDDD" is annoying and dumb.

>>11992711
So is it true or not?

>>11992718
Yes.

>>11992711

Wo pls leave
Re can stay, tho

>>11992718
Just dont F5 after you already selected a formation.

If only Re didn't appear, Wo would still be loved.

I want Re to leave this thread at once!

>>11992711
>>11992714
>>11992717
What if Re is the one behind the shitty political discussion? So Wo is a troll, while Re is a shitposter.

>>11992718
Why do you ask? Do you want to get banned?

>>11992718
Unless you spam the F5 button (because it eats up server bandwidth, apparently), no.

>>11992723
But OP did say this.
>Please try to keep emoticons, greentext, Wo and dumb questions to a reasonable minimum.
>Wo
I didn't think it'd work, though, and seems like I was right.

>>11992728
I was about to post that, myself.

>>11992728

Okay, I want every Abyss Ships to leave.

Abyss scum pls go and stay go

>>11992736
Can't Abyss Miku stay? She's cute.

2 3-2 boss S, 2 Souryuu.
What

>>11992756
are you farming 3-2 boss? seriously?

>>11992756
RNG.

>>11992759
I'm just doing my weeklies and leveling Hacchan while at it

>>11992762
how do you even reach the 3-2 boss with a sub

>>11992764
I'm leveling all my subs

>>11992762
3-2 boss with Hachi? what?
Would assume you meant 2-3, but Souryuu dropping at 2-3 makes no sense either

>>11992759
>>11992764
>>11992768
Shit, my bad. 2-3, yes.

>>11992769
did you mean Hiryuu then?

>>11992768
>>11992771
According to wikiwiki, Souryuu does drop at 2-3 as well.

>>11992771
No

>>11992773
>>11992774
so I never got 2 dragons there while sub-farming.
Well, my mistake then.

Such dedication.

>>11992520
they want the rest of the nazi ships, of course. like scharnhorst, tirpitz, etc

>>11992801

>>11992803
Re pls.

>>11992718
Ever since E-1 of August event (fuck that north route) I've been F5'ing out of unwanted compass spins, and I haven't been banned yet.

On the other hand I never abused 3-2 steel node before they fixed it.

>>11992796
Fuso-class is love. It's a wonder why people hate them, they're the prettiest ships in the game by far and Yamashiro even starts regarding you as a fellow human being after marriage.

>>11992883
> lel less firepower after kai
That's why people hate them 95% of the time.

>>11992883
she can't regard you as a fellow human being since she's not a human being to begin with.

>>11992883
>prettiest ships in the game by far
No way.

>>11992888
I'm sure they don't hate Ise class anywhere as much.

>>11992883
I don't get it either, I like them too, Yamashiro especially.

>>11992912
> lel manface
Are you sure?
Maybe it's 2-4 PTSD, Fuso and Yamashiro are one of the first BBs you get after all.

>>11992894
Fuso sisters are those kind of Yamato Nadeshiko beauties. There should be lots of TTKs consider Fusos their favorite.

>>11992918
Yes, I'm sure.

>>11992883
Not exactly a Fusou fan but nips like her and her sister way more than /jp/.

>>11992937
I would like them better if they arent the Naka chang of LSC.
though same could be said to the Kongou and Ise class.

>>11992883
I just did 4/6/6/2/100 with Z1 guess what I get

>>11992999
>100 dev mats
You know she drops from minimum/20, yeah?

>>11993009
At this point it's more of addiction than ship crafting and devmats are worthless anyway.

>>11993009
Hasn't it already been determined that dev mats don't matter at all?

>>11993031
>and devmats are worthless anyway

>>11993032
I haven't seen any counts of her dropping from min/1, but I wouldn't say it's impossible

>>11993031
>and devmats are worthless anyway


Yeah, fuck you too.

Any chartfags still recording Bismarck attempts?

>>11991111
i only play this game to check you're quads :^)

What's the best recipe to get Sendai from? 250/200/30/30?

>>11993289
30/30/30/30
Alternatively, world 1.

>>11993289
7000/7000/7000/7000/100

She wants to meet Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu again.

>>11993430
I'll bet she does, but they're rusting away at the bottom of the ocean and 'ol SBD-chan is gathering dust in a museum probably missing half of the parts to be even close to functional.

>>11992999
Bismarck is pretty common to be honest.
Lots of report of people getting her on the first try.

>>11993449
It's called luck, anon.

>>11993449
This, Z3 is the rare one.

いよいよ来月【4/23】で「艦これ」は『一周年』を迎えます。これも、応援・支援して頂いている提督の皆さんのおかげです…ありがとうございます！四月には【春イベント：期間限定海域】の投入を予定しています。天を吹く風のような一周年記念の【新艦娘】も登場予定！ぜひ、お楽しみに！
So, april 23rd is the confirmed start.

>>11993525
Fucking 23rd? Jesus fuck.

>>11993531
They said so from the beginning, only some Wos interpreted it as "The event starts at the end of march and ends on the anniversary date" and spread that in the threads.

>>11993538
They said in April, but I thought between the 7th or 15th would be just about it.

What's so bad about april 23 being the event start?

>>11993550
I'm glad it's a bit late, this means I can get in a few more lsc crafts and still comfortably hit 50k resources

>>11993546
Okay, true. But having a special occasion like the first anniversary of the game in the middle or the end of an event would be weird, at least from my point of view.
Not to mention, Golden Week starts from April 29 and most, if not all japanese players have free time there.

>>11993557
Nice. Anyway, I wonder if I should try to get myself out of LSC hell. Yamato's the only one left.

Golden Week in the event = the devs expect a fall E-4 time commitment or more for every map past E-2
There'll be five maps at least
Enjoy.

>>11993525

Oh shit, I got late to the October party so this will be my first event.

>>11993562
Your first big event, no?

>>11993566

Well, yeah, Arpeggio was a nice mini-event, but I'm looking forward this.

>>11993559
Do you want to get out of LSC hell now but risk getting kicked back in when you fail to get Shinano?

>>11993562
Good luck, you will need it.

>>11993562

Were you not able to do the Fall event? I started early October and I still managed to get as far as E-4 with my limited resources.

>>11993570
I tried 12 times already for her at the start. But seeing people still not getting her after 40 tries is frightening, not even those resources would last.

>>11993574

I got in a week or so before it ended, so I was just able to do E-1, I could have tried E-2 but I only had 2 fleets at that time, so my resources and mostly my buckets were pretty low.

>>11993525
That means I can hit my failure number forty-four at Taihou building and then start preparing stuff, nice.

>>11993581

You're in deep already, may as well keep going until you get Taihou.

She's a cutie, it's worth going to Midway with her.
