mutsu a cute

pootsu a POO

worst BB

>>12075980
That's not Yamashiro/Fuso

Mutsu a cute.

>>12075984
Indeed, it's Mutsu

>>12075928
It's funny, because I also got Tanikaze for the clear. It was my second one

>>12075980
Her luck's not great, but she's an excellent BB otherwise.

Also, >>12075984 has it right. They are objectively the worst BBs.

Does 4-3 grinding work for level 1 DD's? Got a Makigumo and would like her sonar asap.

>>12076002
Since when do objectively judge things.

>>12076008
Always

A day late, but a new version of Logbook.

https://github.com/Zharay/logbook/releases/tag/0.5.13

Pretty much everything should be working, especially the notifications for sortie win conditions. Let me know if anything is missing in terms of translations.

On KCV, I'm getting through adding/fixing anything missing from updates (such as updating the fleets in real time when you change ships or the semi-broken construction). Hopefully I'll have this done by the end of the day.

Tanikaze is for _____

>>12076015
Tender loving.

>>12076013
ありがとう Z

>>12076015
She looks like that girl from Watamote.

>>12076015
I wish I knew so I could put them all to good use.

>>12076015
Hugs.

>>12076013
Did you fix stuff like Air superiority not showing up on new versions of KCV and other weird bugs like the fleet not showing up?

I downloaded r431 but had to downgrade to r426 because of the above.

>>12076013
Thanks.

>>12076023
Stop stealing all my Tanikaze drops.
I just want one. You can give up one, right?

tried the 'best' akitsumaru recipe twice
got yahagi and Kongou

Gave up and use 4/2/5/5.2/20
Got Akitsumaru
With that I reached my goal of 6 boats.

>>12076028
Not Z, but 439 works a lot better. Construction data is still a bit wonky, and the updating is occasionally tricky, but there's at least no instances of the whole fleet data not showing.

>>12076028
That was fixed along with a ton of other bugs man.

Actually the bug of not having ships not show up at all is a bug that has been around ever since I introduced the critical ship notification. The bug happens when you put a ship that is in critical condition in a repair dock, close KCV and then open it up again. You finally saw it get fixed cause that ship came out of the dock.

Came back after a long time and I have been wondering if the image load is slow for everyone or am I doing something wrong? Feels like there's no cache anymore. I am using KCV (last update).

>>12076049
There probably is no cache for you since they changed how the game works, you'll have to reload everything once again.

>>12076049
Its not slow, new ships simply wont load at all for me when they drop.

I sat at the drop screen for a long time waiting to see if the sprite would appear but nothing.
The ship appears the second time around after my PC finally has stuff cached but the first time they never load, I hate this new system for drops because I'll never get to see new ships dropping again and have to identify them by their voice.

>>12076059
>identify them by their voice.
Or just read the name that's on screen.

>>12076068
I cant read moon so I just wait for them to say their name, its easier

>>12076059
>>12076056
It's hard to explain but as I go to the page where you set the equipment the only "cached" images are the ones on your fleets, if you select any reserve ship it will take a good 10 second load (or more) and if you select another and go back it will have to load once more.
Maybe the cache of Flash is not big enough, don't know.
Sorry, I am just being picky.

Should I even bother with E5?

>>12076074
>if you select any reserve ship it will take a good 10 second load (or more) and if you select another and go back it will have to load once more.
That has always happened to me, nothing new.
The only new thing for me that drop thing and ships not appearing at all.

I hope they fix that in future updates

>>12076075
Yes

I asked in the last thread, but it 404'd before I checked back so I guess I'll ask again. How do I efficiently farm dev. materials and buckets?

>>12076085
buckets with exp 2.
Devmats, you don't

>>12076085
Expeditions and dailies.

>>12076075
Ask yourself, is she really worth it?

>>12076075
You'll feel bad when the event ends if you haven't even tried it.

>>12076051

>>12076094
I regret trying it because now I feel like I have to beat it.

Sunk cost fallacy.

>>12076090
That little squeak she makes sometimes you select her is kind of cute.

>>12076101
Is it 40k of every resource cute though?
Dont forget bucket costs

>>12076090
It's the feeling of completion, man.

>>12076101
My head hurts from that, I have to mute the game when leveling her.

How is everyone doing in the event and how are your resources holding up?

>>12076117
I'm through E-4, but I ran out of resources. I only started with about 20k, so I feel like I got my money's worth.

I'm trying to run expeditions and slowly farm E-4 (since it's cheap the way I run it) while I build my resources back up. I'll probably start cracking at E-5 in a day or two.

>>12076117
Finished it like 2 hours ago.
Total event cost is under 50k per resource and some 150 buckets.

>>12076117
Slowly but surely getting though E-4.
>>12076117
It's not like the event is resource intensive.

>>12076128
>It's not like the event is resource intensive.
Tell that after E-5

>>12076135
If I am doing it that is.

Coming soon.

>>12076117
1k/21k/13k/53k currently, I just want a Tanikaze now, 160 buckets spent on just E-6.

>>12076144
Please don't blog here

>>12076144
Does Z3 have a dick too?

>>12076147
Yes.

>>12076037
I'm experiencing some bugs with 2.6.0.432.

For example when I leave it on over night, the next day it seems to have always entered some kind of not responding state. (The flash window, not the KCV. But on pressing any button in KCV, that stops responding as well)

I also noticed that while having ship list open and changing equipment, the list changed to only display the ship I changed and I couldn't get it to show all ships again.

>>12076149
Not to be a dick, but why don't you try updating to the newest version before you report errors.

>>12076149
The bug with KCV not repsonding is a memory leak bug that's been around for a while now. If you keep playing on KCV for over 12hrs it will just get to a point where timers won't update until you mouse over it, forcing an update to the UI.

C# is suppose to be good at doing its own memory management but it ain't perfect.

Also go update to r439 for that other bug.

>>12076117
Sakawa get. About 50k fuel/ammo, 40k steel, 5k bauxite, and some 300 buckets lost across the entire event, although that includes some fruitless E-1 Hatsukaze farming I did before attempting E-5. And I am now going to return to that Hatsukaze farming. Let's see which happens first: Hatsukaze get or boss weekly complete.

>>12076117
Finished E3 and not even trying E4. Not interested in further rewards - got Amatsukaze and 4 medals, that's enough for 14k fuel and 16k steel I invested. Time to get back to leveling my girls, I abandoned them for 2-3 months or so.

>>12076165
E-4 is babby tier, you should really do it

>>12076117
Some 15k fuel and almost 20k steel just to clear the event. I can't even touch E-4 because apparently you actually need good ASW. I have no T3 anything, minus Isuzu depth charge and Aatsukaze sonar.

>>12076148
>Z3 with a dick
Disgusting, Z1 is the only one with a dick
>No subs
All is forgiven, I thought he was going to include them in him in his new work but im glad he didnt.
The poor subs dont deserve that kind of suffering.

>>12076174
you don't need that good ASW, you'll have more problems reaching the boss node than killing the boss.

Fuck everything. After reaching E-4 boss 7 out of 7 times (with red T failure on first try where no one even touched the boss), I try advancing with 2 red ships for the last kill, have to use a damecon, get fucking 80% damage engagement, Isuzu leaves the boss at 6 hp. If only that battle had been swapped with any other I'd be done already.

>>12076094
>>12076098
I tried E-4 of Ironbottom Sound several times, barely chipped her once then quit and took my Maikaze drop as a win.

Of course there I was traumatized by wasting an entire weekend just to clear fucking E-2, I wound up quitting the game entirely until Arpeggio event. I still had loads of buckets and resources left but just couldn't stand sinking a second more into the game after that.

>>12076185
Nobody deserves a fatalpulsing, it just happens.

>>12076188
Tell that to my girls who can't even kill more than 2 subs at the boss node, much less do more than 3 damage to the boss. I can't do E-4.

>>12076194
you're using line abreast with at least 1-star ASW?

>>12076117
One or two wins away from clearing E-2, but apparently the night battle node decided to be an ass and won't let me through without redding at least one of my ships now. Resources are around 10k each.

>>12076197
Yes. I have 1 of each T3 and a small handful of 93/94.

>>12075973
Mutsu is cute.
I like hearing her damaged sprite dialogue, and her line when resupply.

>>12076117
The first node of E3 has hit Akagi for upwards of 40 damage twice in a row.

Sub a shit.

>>12076209
Did I say two? Make that three.

Drops are absolutely fucking time-based, yesterday I picked up three Fubuki in a row, today I picked up two Samidare in a row, and the day before that in ten sorties I picked up four Nagatsuki and three Fumizuki.

>>12076222
Just got a second Noshiro farming E-4. The first was yesterday at a completely different time, so I'm not so sure about your time-based theory.

yahoo I got hachi!!!

>>12076189
Go figure, two tries later I get green T at preboss node and come out with just two orange ships (Hiei critted by Wo and Mochizuki critted by CL), kill boss in first shelling phase. Thank you RNG.

E-4 dropped me two Maruyus and yet another Makigumo, but still no Tanikaze. I don't know if I should try going back to E-2 or just keep doing E-4, problem is I don't want to waste a bunch of damecon on farming.

>>12076117
Trying to clear E-4.
Just now I could go to boss quite safely, but because half of my fleet in medium damage, couldn't deal enough damage to kill all the subs.

>>12076216
Four. I'm fucking out of here.

>>12076117
Total cost was about 50k/35k/35k/5k and 200~ buckets.
Gonna try throwing the rest at Maruyu farming, but I don't know if I should scrap some ships or buy more space.

>>12076257
Scrap. It's not like you're ever going to use all those DDs.

>>12076261
ehhhh
onii chan you are too hidoi >.<

>>12076267
The truth is always hidoi.

>>12076261
Not him but I'm always scared the devs introduce a formation quest with shit like Naganami, Hamakaze, Maikaze and other useless, cute and very hard to get DD - so I never scrap them and lock them forever at level 1.

>>12076261
But it's all the new DDs that I'm having to make space for. I just got rid of Abukuma, Souryuu, and Shoukaku today to go along with Akebono and Mogami the other day.

I think I'm going to get rid of these extra Makigumos instead of farming their sonar though, after just building two type-3 today. I haven't even Kai'd my first Naganami yet either.

>>12076289
Rarer DDs are worth holding onto.
I'm talking about all the early DDs you get as drops on the easy maps. Once you clear out the existing formation quests, there's really no reason to hold onto more than 12 or so for expeditions.

>>12076289
That's the only reason I haven't gotten rid of useless Agano and Noshiro yet.

>>12076296
>extra Makigumos instead of farming their sonar though
For what purpose, is 10/10/10/50 that expensive, what the fuck.

F-Fast !
https://twitter.com/10_colors_/status/460019100689772545

>>12076311
It takes forever to spam that many builds (especially before the last update sped it up) with like a 2% chance of getting a type-3; it's a lot less effort to toss a Makigumo into a practice battle fleet against single ships or 5-1 sub node grinding fleet. Not to mention wasted devkits if LSC'ing is leaving them in short supply (not a problem for me now, but it is for some).

>>12076311
I'm a different guy, but I've done well over 200 10/10/10/20, which is the recommended recipe, and I only got 2 T93 sonars. RNG is a bunch of shit.

Finally after 8 months of playing I'm graduated from No-Nagato club.

>>12076329
Is nagato hiding? What did you do to her?

>>12076329
are you ok anon ? There's nothing here..

>>12076329
I never noticed it before but the holo background is amazing.

>>12076334
Maybe its like that one anon that shopped a Yamato on a fusou

>>12076334
>>12076332
Cache problem, but just think she's more timid Nagamon.

>>12076329
Nice. What map?

>>12076349
E-2, S score.

Where's that bingo sheet? I swear, I've picked up enough drops from this event to fill half of that board, and yet I still haven't seen a single Tanikaze.

Where the fuck are you, Tanikaze? I want to see your stupid drunken rape face.

>>12076336
Well, it is a new background.
Holo and "rainbow" holo ships had the same background before. Now rainbow holo ships have this one.

If you're going 3BB 3CV for E5, what do you put in those CVs?

>>12076374
6 Reppu, 1 Reppu Kai, the rest is split with ryuusei kai, suisei 12 and damecon

So when are subs going to be relevant again?

This update made recon planes and seaplanes relevant, now where's my sub update?
Right now, the subs are only used as training damage sponges and 2-3 resource runs.

Cant even be used in this event because of huge LOS requirements and its just better to do other maps with real fleets except 5-3

>>12076384
Thanks. Will see if I have those stuff

E-5 Research, Update II:

- I tried using 3BB/3CV but I'm uncertain about it, Hime doesn't really wreck it more than the other setup but chances of something fucking with you at the third node weren't as low as I expected. Boss reach ratio looks slightly higher.
- Actually sinking her becomes harder, you lose two good attacks from a BB so there will be need for night gamble.
- Cost is of course a little cheaper.
- Double line confirmed for less shitty option against the Hime.

Not really related, but I'm fairly sure hankousen boosts accuracy for both fleets, not sure if it has always been like that or not.

>>12076388
RIP in pieces subcheesing, you will not be missed.

>>12076388
They were useful just last month for 5-5.

Do you want them to be able do everything under the sun?

>>12076075
Only if you've completed E6

>>12076085
Dev mats:
Exp 35/Exp 8 fully sparkled

>>12076391
3BB 3CV help a lot because of the NE node. You only have to deal with 1 TA class, while SE has 2 of them.
Of course, since there are 2 SS in NE, you might be very unlucky and get rekt by the torpedoes.

Regardless of the fleet composition, go with Line Ahead, double line, double line then line ahead.

>>12076135
E5 cost me less than IBS E5

>>12076400
I want to be able to sortie my subs outside of the couple maps where they are useful or be able to put them in my normal/event fleet.

Subs really need more love, this event didnt give any subs and stops you from doing anything with them

>>12076023
You lucky bastard, I throw 35k resource in E-3 and E-4, and still have no Tanikase.

>>12076391
The thing I liked most about 3BB3CV was being able to bring a few RyuKai along instead of just tacking on a Type 62. That way the opening air phase stands a pretty okay chance of softening up the fortresses or Rus for the subsequent support shelling. I found that I had less trash to deal with when the actual battle started.

The change in course was immaterial to me. I actually like the south preboss node more because bullshit sub luck scare me more than the Tas.

How does Akashi work?

>>12076447
Check out the wiki

>>12076447
Read the wiki.
Read the archives.

4BB2CV and 3BB3CV are overrated.
Make way for the 5CA(V)1BBV fleet.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm23425392

>>12076447
Read the Akashic records.

Then you'll not only know everything there is to know about Akashi, but you'll also be aware of every other ship and new mechanic that will be added throughout the course of the game.

Who hasn't gotten Hatsukaze yet?

>>12076460
I'm so tired of using the same fleet I'll try it out when I get the resources.
>>12076483
Here, I haven't started grinding yet.

So this is true despair.

>>12076519
Tone has not dropped once for me after she got her kai2.

She was all over my crafts and drops too, I dont know how to feel about this.

Based bob.

>>12076538
wait... who is behind Naka?

>>12076559
Shouhou.

>>12076561
Oh my, I always forgot about her...

>>12076538
bob pretty much surpassed konishit in a year.

anyone has any reliable way to kill the boss in e-5? I can only scratch her...

>>12076667
Read the wiki.

>>12076538
Wagahai and Sendai are the bestest.

>>12076329
Started few days ago. Got Nagato from ship construction. MVP all day every day now.

>>12076773
How are you doing with the event? I'm curious what it's like for someone who's brand new.

>>12076538

Naka's Kai 2 was cute, Jintsuu's Kai 2 is absolute beauty. Sendai's Kai 2 will be amazing, I can't wait.

>>12076790
Or she'll be horrible because Konishi will have progressed into demon lord stage and irrevocably destroyed the talent of all other artists out of jealousy.

>>12076802
I still like Konishi's stuff more
Naka kai2 and Jintsuu kai2 were pretty meh but Tone kai2 is a pretty good one

RJ's artist for worst artist

God fucking jesus. Finally after farming E-4 for days.

>>12076808
Kuuro kuro really dropped the ball on RJ. It's as though he looked at all the parody pictures on RJ and then drew inspiration from there.

But his tits n' ass pose for Hiyou, Nagara-class and CHitoChiyo are still glorious.

LV35 teitoku from the other thread here. I'm level 37 and am on E-3 now, but with drastically low resources. Got Tanikaze during E-2, luckily.

>>12076814
He just needs to get someone else to do the coloring work. His line art is okay, but I swear the coloring in all his recent work looks horrible.

>>12076808
I feel like people are exaggerating with Ryuujou. The legs are wrong and the colors are too bright but it's still better than the serious looking girl we had before. And it's like everyone forgot that Hiyou's new sprite was fantastic.

>>12076814
I still don't understand how he could get the damaged picture right but manage to fuck up the normal one so badly.

>>12076820
His track record is rather poor. Nagara, ZUNship, then RJ.

>>12076825
Hey now, Akitsu Maru is cute.

OH FUCK

One ship was 大破 when I accidentally clicked to go to the boss node instead of exiting. Does any formation increase my chances of that ship not getting hit? It wasn't the flagship

>>12076812
Time for a celebratory rape.

>>12076831
F5

>>12076831
The reload formation is your best option.

>>12076460
Dude is really lucky every attack on the way was ineffective.

I bet this is the only video out of all his recorded runs that's actually like this. Confirmation bias and all.

>>12076833
>>12076835
she didn't even survive the aerial phase

>>12076845
Why the fuck didn't you just refresh?

Is there something wrong with expedition 118? This is twice in a row that it's failed to actually do support fire on the boss of E-1

I'm running:
Yuudachi Kai 2
Shimikaze
Ise
Hyuuga Kai
Hiei Kai
Haruna Kai

As far as I can tell I'm picking the right expedition with the right composition unless if there's a chance that it won't activate at all.

>>12076845
Why did you bother choosing a formation to enter battle if you knew one of your ships is red?

Serves you right.

>>12076845
Kill yourself.

>>12076846
What the fuck, I thought >>12076833 was Formation 5

>>12076853
>>12076845
I call Wo on this.

>>12076853

>>12076853
Who'd you kill, kuso teitoku? Which lovely young maiden did you send to her death?

>>12076845
You know that the whole, "You still take damage even if you F5." thing only applies AFTER you choose formation, right? You can F5 to save yourself if you accidentally advance on red. You're not going to get banned for it, considering that there's really no good reason for someone to F5 during a sortie anymore except in an emergency like yours.

>>12076853
I don't have an appropriate reaction to this, besides that you should study the layout of your keyboard a few more times.

>>12076786
Haven't gotten to the boss node yet but I have made it to the end nodes. My main fleet got slapped around and had to spend a while repairing. Currently its mostly normal BB and Hoshou and Nagato. Haven't really created any strategy or groups I want to run with yet. Basically had to run from all the sub nodes though didn't do much to my fleet. Would it be a good idea to bring some light cruisers instead?

>>12076845
disgusting

>>12076854
Seems Wo to me as well. Kuso TTK hasn't posted anything else, so he's either truly mourning the loss or just done with his WoShitting.

>>12076847
Sparkle your support flagship for near 100% appearance (this is only true for boss support).

>>12076845
So who sank?

>>12076900
He's trolling, dumbass.

How many total, unique ships are there now, counting remodeled versions as one ship?

I'm thinking about buying ship slot expansions, but I want to know how many slots I would need to have exactly one of each girl.

>>12076908
Read the wiki.

>>12076900
>>12076859
on the brighter side she's craftable, right?

Will she forgive me? Due to lack of sleep I forgot to refresh and it's too late before I realized that she was in red condition I fucking despise my shitty monitor discoloration problem and myself.

Will I ever see her again?

>>12076915
Back to LSC for you.

>>12076914
>>12076915
>>12076845
>>12076853

my fucking sides
If only it is real

Wtf 2 people lost good CV's one after another. What's going on here?

>>12076898
ah so there is a chance for it to fail. I just never saw it before during E1, alright thanks

>Spring Event
>people losing ship
>more hilarious than Ironbottom Sound

My fucking sides.

>>12076914
>>12076915
You two qualify for mental retardation, go collect your autism bucks and retire from being admirals

>>12076921
Fuck you, I wish I am just joking you insensitive fuck. I hope you lost a Taihou too.

>>12076922
>The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.
Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.

>>12076925
Why do retards get all the good ships?

People losing taihous, yamatos, bismarcks and other ships while there's good HQ 99+ admirals that cant get them at all

>>12076927
How am I retarded? That's only the second ship I've lost on accident
>>12076939
Maybe you'd be getting good ships if you weren't so judgmental

>>12076939
>>12076939
Good ship doesnt like coward and pussy.
No risk no gain. I might try to do E4 with no damekon looking at the boss subs shitty accuracy.

>>12076939
You don't sound so deserving of them.

>>12076948
>judgmental
You being a retard isn't an opinion, it's a fact.
>>12076957
Keep crying.

>>12076948
Because taking care of your ships is so easy even a monkey could do it.
All you have to do is retreat when you see red damage and thats literally it.

>>12076948
>only the second ship I've lost on accident
non-kuso TTK learn well after the first
wiser TTKs never let it happen to them at all

>>12076960
Why would I be crying though? I didn't sink anything and have all the ships I'd want. If anything, you're the one crying whining about what others get.

>>12076914
>>12076915
Guess you're not the only ones.

>>12076969
Wat.

>>12076968
Why so defensive all of the sudden?

>>12076969
I seriously hope that's not the same guy.

>>12076969
Stop reminding me of my Taihou, damn it.

>>12076908
Ignoring the dumbass that told me to read the wiki, the number of unique ships in the game as of this most recent event is 133 for anyone else who wants to know.

>>12076972
Because jealous TTKs whining about their luck is annoying as fuck.

Absolutely hilarious seeing people losing ships over shitty sakawa. Even more hilarious when they lose them at E2.

>>12076971
>>12076975
Someone just did a compilation of the ships sunk by other players based on what he saw on a Facebook group.
Though I don't think it's updated, I saw some other ships sunk too. And there were actually other people who were convinced ships still sink at orange.

>>12076979
>Losing LSC only ships for a shitty CL that will be easily available in a few months

Retardation of the highest degree.
Losing ships at all in this event is retarded but those guys really take the crown.

>>12076979
There's something ironic about sinking your ships to gain a repair ship.

>>12076978
No more annoying than faggots who assume everyone is as lucky as them.

>>12076985
>faggots who assume everyone is as lucky as them
But they're not, they know it's pure chance

>>12076983
Just like using the sacrificial strategy to get a war criminal back in the fall.

>>12076981
Saw a guy who lost his Bep waifu. Claimed she was only at moderate damage (orange or whatever), but still lost her at the next node.

>>12076981
>Facebook group for kancolle
Jesus christ those exist?

>>12076988
I wish, dude. Across all of the RNG bullshit games I play, there are PLENTY of people who honestly believe that them getting an insanely lucky drop/draw/summon makes them good players. One faggot started a topic on a forum for a game I play claiming to prove that it was easy to do as f2p not p2p... an his proof was that he had gotten multiples of the rarest and strongest card in the game in a few summons. Spoilers: that doesn't generally happen.

People will take credit for pretty much anything, and use the most retarded possible logic to justify their shit.

>>12076994
Don't underestimate the ability of facebook to ruin your favorite thing, no matter how obscure.

>>12076994
Yes, and from what little I've seen they're the most cancerous shit outside of... well, the rest of facebook really. But it's pretty bad.

>>12076991
Nobody sac their LSC trophy ships back then.
Shitty shitbafu DD and nakachan doesnt count.

>>12076994
Yes they do.
>>12077000
Well damn, I don't know by how much but it's a good think I never bothered looking for one much less getting into one.

>>12076994
I'm ashamed to say that I joined one briefly.

They were doing translations of the Kancolle_Staff twitter (and doing a terrible job).
I told them to just go to the wikia forums to get it, and they told me they prefer their own in-house translator, who was the guy doing a half-assed job of the translations.
After a bit of pointless internet arguments on facebook I left. Not my proudest moment. Completely stupid people.

>>12076994

so folks, how many e-5 runs can I make with only 26k fuel remaining, the rest of my resources are 50k up. I'm fielding 4bb's and 2 cv's there and on last 2 kill in the boss to complete it.

>>12076993
Well, apart from that, others have sunk their Yukikaze, Kitakami, Shiranui and probably worse, this.
I don't know but I don't even wanna compare the number of fatalities from this event from that of Fall.

>>12076820
Her hair is too fucking big.

>>12076998
4chan ruined my favorite thing a long time ago, I'm not worried.

>>12077026
Fall fatalities is definitely higher.
People got very desperate with the final because of hp regen.

>>12077022
>Isoroku Yamamoto

Definitely just someone trying to stir up trouble here.

>>12077028
4chan doesn't ruin things. It ruins people.

>>12076997
It's better to be lucky than skilled. The skilled guy had to put in effort.

>>12077026
My only ships sunk were on the Fall event
I sacrificed a great amount of ships of all classes to deplete the E4 gauge and get Hachi.

I didn't get her in the end because I almost ran out of resources and wanted to try again later in the week.
Wasn't even able to get the gauge to the middle on my second try and failed to get her, it was a horrible experience.

>>12077030
I don't still get why people are still rushing this event considering we don't have a regenerating hp. Though from what I've read from the comments on one page, someone was going to enlist in the military soon so he had to rush. I don't know if he/she had sunk a ship in the process or was just simply rushing.

>>12077034
It's probably a joke. Not everybody is trolling all the time.

>>12077046
Yeah, I've been chipping away at E5 with 4 runs per day for a couple of days now. I'm about halfway done and it's actually pretty enjoyable. I look forward to every run.

You don't think about the cost as much when it's spread out over time.

>>12077055
As a joke I'm not sure what the "punchline" would be. From their perspective is it, "Oh 4chan is a creepy internet place, there's no way we would actually go there to talk about Kancolle." or what is the joke?

>>12077055
It wasnt a joke, that guy was really trying to stir shit here because people kept making a huge deal how danny choo was advertising kancolle on his facebook

>>12076956
i wouldnt if i were you. thank god for damcons. when can i get out of this shithole that is e4?

>>12077045
Can't you craft Hachi now? I got her a couple weeks ago

>>12077165
I have her now but it took me all those lost ships and resources in E4, months of waiting and 75 tries in crafting to get her and complete my objective of having all the subs.

Now I just need a 6th sub not called Maruyu and I'll be a happy admiral.

>>12077165
You can, but Kancolle events have a strange way of compelling you to do things you'll later regret.

We need public service announcements that no reward is worth sinking your girls over, and that the prizes will be made available sooner and later. Not that it'll prevent people from sinking time, ships and resources into event maps.

>>12077182
Ships you sink come back to you sooner or later, too.

for revenge

The law has been delivered.

>>12077182
Musashi was probably worth it. It's been like half a year and unless they add her to LSC soon it really seems like the people who didn't beat E-5 back then are in for a rough time. Though even if it was my last resort I don't think I could make that gamble.

They said you need sanshikis for E-3 and I've been trying to craft it with 10/90/60/30 and 10/90/90/30 for a while now. No luck. Do you all use it to beat E-3?

>>12077197
Yes. You need the 3s to beat E-3.
Also, define "a while now".

>>12077178
Hachi was my second sub. And third.

So for those of you who cleared E-3, who did you use in your fleet? Loadout?

After trying E-3 i realize I need more air superiority, a support expedition and some HE ammo...right now im taking a break after the hell that is E-2

>>12077198
Like 30-40 tries? I have Kongou kai as flagship and HQ level of 33

>>12077203
Cropped the wrong subs.

>>12077195
did you use support fleet? how is it possible that you have only 1 brown damaged ship while my fleet have 3-4 brown damage ships and at least 1-2 red in boss night battle. Please teach me your ways senpai!

>>12077213
Try other BBs (if you have them). It sounds weird, but I swear it improved my crafting rate.

>>12077209
3BB 1BBV 2CV

BB Mutsu, Nagato and Kongou with 2x46cm, Type 3 Shell and Type 32 Radar. BBV Fusou with the same, but Seiran instead of radar. CV setup was 1 Reppu Kai on Kaga's largest slot, and I used 3 more Reppu, filling up Akagi and Kaga for Air Superiority (not supremacy). Last slot on Kaga Saiun. All open slot with Suisei 12A

>>12077164
Man, even with damecon equipped, seeing that must be disheartening. Thank RNGesus I got lucky and finished E-4 without any of my girls' damecon triggering.

I can't even fathom what kind of poor soul would want to farm that minefield from hell.

>>12077164
Lazy TTK

>>12077209
DD/3BB/2CV. Brought 230 FP, sanshiki on BB.

>>12077220
>brown
Are you colorblind or something?

>>12077209
3 Kongous, 2x46 + Type 0 recon + Type 3 ammo
Kaga, 2 Reppus + Reppu-Kai + 12A
Taihou, 2 Reppu + 12A + Saiun
KTKM, Ko-Hyoteki + Type 3 Sonar & DC

>>12077220
He's below 70.

>>12077209
Here's what I used, would post a picture of me dealing the final blow but mutsu is covering the fleet and that wouldnt be of help.

HQ level 98
Loadout was 2x 46cm, sanshiki, recon plane on all BBs
Reppus (And a single reppu kai) on every slot and ryuusei kai on smallest slot to try to get them to kill a trash mob in the opening phase (Rarely happened, almost every torpedo hit was a miss) and took the boss to night battle to completely destroy it there

Used a shelling support expedition for normal battles because I was tired of getting sent back before the boss and it helped a bit.

>>12077220
>senpai
Stop.

I didn't really need support, but I used a boss support for the last run for tradition. It was just my average bauxite expedition fleet plus Musashi and Mutsu, who ended up taking out a battleship.

Battleships were all equipped with the standard 46s, spy planes, and type-3. Kaga had the Reppu you get from E1 in her largest slot with red bombers for the others. Zuikaku had a yellow.

>>12077242
I'm 102, son.

>>12077242
Nevermind, I saw fortresses and thought he was at E5.

>>12077224
Great, got one after 10 tries with Kirishima kai. Not sure if I should be happy with this

>>12077266
10/90/90/30 has gotten me 3 sanshikis out of around 7 attempts so far.

>>12077266
Have to use brains to develop.

>>12077267
Oh my god. Fuck you.

>>12077226
>>12077243
>>12077236

Hmm, thats a bit problematic...I only have one of these 46cm guns(pilfered from Yamato) and I only have 3 super-air-superiority fighters on hand(Reppu Kai, Reppu, Shiden Kai2)

This is a bit problematic for me, yet I was told that if i can clear E-2, I can clear E-3, hmm, will 41cm guns do now?

Reminder that the event will end in 7 days.

>>12077281
Yeah, 41s will do. But best if you craft some better planes next time. What you have will do, and score you air parity. It's fine, but you'll lose slight more bauxite. Nothing you can't regain within a day's expeditions though.

>>12077282
Reminder that you're not capable of basic arithmetic.

>>12077282
It started on the 23rd, so it ends on May 7th.

>>12077286

Weeell, if anything I was surprised by how little bauxite I have been spending in this event given the overwhelming air supremacy I have been achieving, I guess its no biggie

>>12077291
My bad, actually it'll end on 9th
現在実施中の【春イベント：期間限定海域「索敵機、発艦始め！」】の作戦終了日時は、【5/9(金) 11:00】とさせて頂く予定です。同日時実施予定のメンテナンス突入を以て、全作戦終了となります。作戦参加中の提督の皆さん、ご留意、どうぞよろしくお願い致します！

>>12077266
>>12077271
Fucking finally. Took me 50+ attempts

What's a good plane setup for E5 with 4BB 2CV formation? Air Supremacy Calc says even 5 reppu and 1 Reppu Kai on highest slots of Akagi and Kaga are not enough for air superiority.

What kind of ship would you use to craft yamato planes?

>>12077281
With fully armed fleet, you only have to worry about line-ahead subs at E-3, while E-2 yasen can fuck up your fleet much harder. In addition, the evil gate at E-3 is placed at 1st node, while in E-2 it's at pre-boss, so it'll be more morale-crushing.

But the middle nodes in E-3 is a lot harder than E-2, so if you aren't prepared, that map will be tough.

>>12077306
Prepare your anus.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIm8w8X_wk8

>>12077306
You need 6 Reppu, 1 kai and 1 hybrid fighter/bomber

>>12077312

Well, first time trying it, I got to the boss relatively fine, I am not that worried, but I am concerned about my equipment loadout instead since I did 0 damage to the boss in that trial run.

...And I realize that my steel has went from 7k to 270, you really dont feel the loss until all that repairing and development catches up to you

>>12077319
But I think CVs can't engage in battle without a red or blue plane... Never had a CV with full greens, so I don't know. Do they?

>>12077227
It is not like there is a better map to farm Tanikaze and Maruyu.
Kind of ironic i beat E4 without using any damekon but I have now used 2 with nothing to show for.

>>12077354
They don't. They are there so you can get Air Superiority and double attacks on day.

>>12077024
That's about how much fuel you need to finish E5 with sparkled yamatos, you'll be fine

>>12077370
I have yamato, nagato, kongou kai ni, kirishima kai ni, taihou and kaga being used to clear e-5. Well, I'm planning my yamato to be kai first before giving the final blow to the boss. She is lvl 58 now.

Best formation for E-2 night battle? I've heard everything being used except diamond.

>>12077396
Line ahead. Gotta kill that pesky CA.

>>12077396
diamond

>>12077396
You are forced to use line ahead.
No matter what you click, your formation is shown as line ahead.

>>12077407
Bullshit, I'm using double line and it works fine.

>>12077407
They fixed this

>>12077396
Echelon makes most cut ins do no damage.

>>12077416
Lying sack of shit. Even the DD was able to knock Kaga from full to red when I was stuck there.

>>12077432
All the cut ins I had using echelon did less than 20 damage. The regular shots on the other hand did hit pretty hard if they landed.

Chances for more maps? I don't think there's any so I'm considering some farming then throwing everything above regen cp into LSC

>>12077432
Lucky damage roll from the enemy. Of the times I sortied there, I was only turned back twice when the CA made a normal attack on one of my CVs in echelon mode. Other than those two, most damage I got there using echelon with a single searchlight only ended in 20-ish damage even with cut-ins.

>>12077432
Those enemy CLT are the real terror.

What does one do with a second Taihou? I was trying to get Akitsumaru.

>>12077460
Give me.

>>12077460
Scrap her

>>12077460
Scrap her and post a picture of you scrapping her

>>12077460
Back-up Taihou for when your main Taihou gets red and you decide to sail ahead and sac her to beat a map.

>>12077465
I would gladly trade her for an Akitsumaru.

>>12077466
>>12077468
I can't bring myself to do such a thing, I can't even scrap the Agano duplicates.

>>12077475
I'll give you my kai'd akitsumaru for a Taihou
I wish I could

>>12077460
Enjoy your Reppu.

>>12077460
Everyone I know who crafted multiple Taihous sank their 1st one after scrapping their 2nd to 4th

>>12077460
Sink her at E-5.
Make the no taihou club member jealous.

>sinking or scrapping that ball of cuteness that is Taihou
You fags are more disgusting than the shits that used sacrificial ships

>>12077513
This. All I ever sank were two destroyers when I was a stupid newbie and I still regret their deaths every single day of my life.

>>12077513
Fuck that bitch, she's too expensive and hard to get
She deserves all the scrapping, sinking and fatalpulsing she gets

Please Wo, I just want to fight some subs. I've had E-4 unlocked for 2 days now and I still haven't been able to score a kill on the boss.

Whenever I use a BBV this happens, when I use a CV they don't even target the boss. Any suggestions?

>>12077538
Bring both.

>>12077533
Why so bitter and angry. That's the devs' fault not Taihou's

>>12077538
bring a BB, preferably Mutsu or Nagato with 46CM, Sanshiki and 2 12cm 6 tube AA guns

Melon with 2sonar, 1 depht charge and 10cm AA

4DD with 1 sonar+ 1 depht charge + damecon/10cm AA

This is very good with ring formation and you can clear the pre boss node with the airstrike doing minimal damage thanks to AA + ring formation, your biggest concern will be the TA this way, set your most frail DD as flagship to avoid it getting crit to red too much.

>>12077538
git gud and dont retreat
Boss node sub torpedo hit rate is 10%.
The chances of them targetting your red ship is 1/6.
Echelon damage also nerf the torp damage.
So it is another 1/4 chance for it to deal crit damage if it target your critically damaged ship.
Do your math, having a single red ship sink is very low.

>>12077538
Consider using a fast BB, that way your fleet's evasion doesn't take a hit for running a slow fleet.

>>12077538
>Lvl 99 Yuubari
Just to point out you have superb taste, anon. Marrying her would be worth it. Also bring 10cm guns, put either Shigure or Bep on your flagship and put one of them on your last slot. Use damecon if all else fails.

>>12077538
Use turbines, nigga.

>>12077579
Go away

>>12077544
Bringing both is less than 100% of reaching the boss though right? I may try it after stocking up on more resources.
>>12077572
I'm already using that equipment set up except 1 turbine instead of 2 sonar on Yuubari. I may try bringing an actual BB.
>>12077579
I don't want to take a chance and get any kanmusu blood on my hands.

>>12077591
>Use damecon if all else fails
No, just save yourself the suffering and throw some damage controls on there.

Almost everyone should have at least 8 - 10. Losing a couple won't be a big deal, especially in exchange for a repair goddess. The chance of losing one is absolutely miniscule anyway.

>>12075973
Excellent taste in ships, OP

>>12077606
>Bringing both is less than 100% of reaching the boss though right?
Yes, since you have to go through the South route.

>>12076956
>>12077164
I advanced with Yuubari in red. They didn't miss.

>Error: Your image contains an embedded file.
Fucking moot. I encoded 6 different versions of the webm and none worked.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edZXXV-w9sQ

>>12077610
I lost one every time I advanced on red

Can enemy carriers run out of planes? I swear around 2-3 times of my E-3 run flagship Wo doesn't launch any attack even while in full health. Also, for some reasons my KTKM doesn't launch post-shelling torpedo.

>>12077658
Yes. If you kill all of their bombers in the air combat/defense phase then they sit there and do nothing.

>>12077658
If I remember correctly, if you managed to shoot down all of the enemy planes, or all of the enemy planes from the opposing CV, then that CV won't be able to attack.

Now, compare this >>12077632
with >>12077579
Don't retreat my ass.

>>12077668
>>12077669
How about seaplanes? If during air raid I can shoot down all of enemies' seaplanes, their double attack will be gone? And I won't be able to do double attack if the opposite happens to me?

>>12077675
Yes.
Read the wiki next time

>>12077675
To shoot down all planes, you need at least superiority and then the enemy can't daylight DA anyway

>>12077675
Read the fucking wiki
>>12077679
You need to go read the wiki too

>>12077682
I'm just too lazy to type "you need air superiority" so I just made a simple "yes" sorry about that.

>>12077680
>>12077679
Duh, that should be obvious, thanks.

How big a difference does Sanshikidan make in the boss battle? I feel like it lowered the hit chance of the boss by some hilarious amount.

>>12077705
Close to double damage done.

>>12077705
On E-5, it makes a really big difference

cutest starter samidare, yes no?

>>12077714
agreed

>>12077714
No.
But she is cute.

>>12077710
Jesus christ

I guess sparking also makes a huge difference, I just got through E-3 with only one CVL even in orange.

>>12077714
Absolutely. Why else would I have chosen her?

>>12077720
My kai1 Kongous were 1 shotting her with 2 41cms and a sanshiki during night battle.

>>12077724
Yo fuck this hime though she's crit somebody to red 2 times in a row

WHY
DO
YOU
KEEP
DOING
THIS

>E2 full sparkle fleet
echelon formation 3 cut-in taihou crits in night battle
i am so not going to finish E4 before this event ends

>>12077714
I agree

>>12077731
sparkle only works if your fatigue is >52 though.

>>12077714
I don't know who the fuck that is.

Fuck in like 3 runs I could be theoretically done with E-3 and then just grind Tanikaze for the rest of the week but I know that something's gonna go horribly wrong and then I'll be mad for the rest of my life

what's a good way to farm damecons, i'm running out

>>12077742
YEAH JUST LIKE THAT THE FUCKING YELLOW FUCKER CRITS AGAIN HOLY SHIT oh my god I fucking knew it

Is it better to take a maxed out CVL (Hiyou Kai) or to take a non-kai'd CV?

>>12077745
Cash

>>12077745
Love!

And credit cards.

>>12077750
If it's Akagi, Kaga or anything similar, then yes. Be sure to put your best plane on the 3rd slot for maximum air superiority.

If it's any other shit CVs or CVLs, then no. Hiyou Kai is one of the best CVL out there.

Sparkling my E-5 fleet to 85 stamina
Let's see how many green T I get that force me back.
I'm betting on 3 in a row, dropping my stamina to <50

2 subs go for taihou and zuikaku opening

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm23418781

It seems line aboob is pretty effective for mid and pre-boss fight. Gonna try this one, and if it doesn't work, I'd settle for DL.

Now I'm pretty sure that the new fatigue mechanic allows you to regen during sortie, and adds that value after the 15 deduction at the end. I just ran a sortie from the office and after the last node, I didn't click anything for a while due to a call, and when I ended the sortie, everyone way at 49 fatigue

>>12077760
Thank god Kaga dropped for me at 2-3 a few weeks ago

Erm.. sorry, but what does this say? It wont let me build on my second slot.

>>12077784
nice time machine.
>>12077787
scrap your ships faggot

>>12077787
It says "Read the wiki."

If anyone still care about this event's BGM, the last one from E-4 (since I finally reached that area)
http://puu.sh/8qFOb.mp3

>>12077794
Isn't that the same bgm as 1-5?

>>12077794
Can you put them all in a rar or upload them somewhere like soundcloud?

>>12077795
I think it's different? AFAIK 1-5 has sonar ping sound at the beginning, or did they update it?

Some more fixes and one thing a lot of people asked for:

https://github.com/Zharay/KanColleViewer/releases/tag/v2.6.0r444

>F5 key to refresh the browser.
>Construction has been fixed up. Clears like it used to.
>Ships now update in real time when you move them around within your fleet.
>HP bars and text show a tool tip showing calculated repair times needed.

Also Grabacr07 is reworking a lot of junk in the back end from scratch, which is insane. So until he be done, I don't think I'll do more fixes (looks like his is almost done so shouldn't be too long I bet). Any major bugs I will fix though.

>>12077796
I don't have soundcloud account. IIRC I've uploaded new BGM since Arpeggio with puush, so you can look through the archive.

>>12077798
Thanks for the hard work Teitoku

Anyone using KCB?

>>12077788
Thank you, now I can continue to make Naka-chans.

what if they add 5th fleet soon and you'll need all 4 agano CLs to unlock it

>>12077797
That's just the sound effect when you encounter SS.
>>12077798
Thanks.
>>12077802
I prefer using puush like that, fast and easy.

>>12077808
The 1-5 is this
http://puu.sh/84c3T.mp3
Is it different now? I haven't touched any X-5 maps since I took the BGM, so I don't know if there's any change.

>>12077807
That would be hilarious.
The buttmad would be intensed which is why I think it wont happened. They are catering the games to casual considering how the difficulty has been scaled back compare to last fall.

>>12077807
I sure hope so but Kancolle devs seem to be catering to the mid to low level players now.

>>12077807
That'd be amazing

>>12077808
>That's just the sound effect when you encounter SS.
Disregard that, I was being retarded. This >>12077814 is indead 1-5 bgm.

>>12077807
>aganos

not really, that'd be dumb.

I can see a 5th fleet added but with something more reasonable as requirement (Nagato/Shoukaku-class maybe?)

>>12077826
Z1/Z3/Bismarck/Tirpitz requirement. Foreign expedition fleet, anyone?

Why did they bring back the ugly bitch but not this goddess? Horns are disgusting.

>>12077847
But they did bring her back, its just mindbroken and deflated henderson

Hiei makes a good pet, I'd love to kick her once in a while.

>>12077875
you fucking monster

>>12077870
I'm gonna do the same, seriously. I'm 4 kills away from the end but this fucking hime just keeps critting one of my ships to red. I don't know if I can even clear it at this point.

>>12077864
Easy.
Beat it when I was a noob teitoku back then level scaling doesnt exist. Lets all laugh at the no mushashi club members that started before november.

>>12077877
She's a dyke, she probably likes kinky stuff like that

>>12077886
yeah, no
she only likes curry and Kongou

>>12077888
*And having her penis touched

>>12077890
Which canned coal has the biggest p0n0s? I bet Z1 has a gigantic milf-busting shota dick.

>>12077898
Mogami

>>12077898
Z1 is a girl

>>12077890

Go back to /d/ you disgusting faggots

>>12077910
Girls don't have dicks

>>12077898
Bismarck.

>>12077915
I have never seen one so I'll have to take your word for it

>>12077919
Z1 wasn't strong enough to be called male, like Bismarck was.

Nobody gives a shit faggot, enjoy your ban.

>>12077948
Announcing bans and reports is against the rules, son.

>>12077953
I wasn't talking about 4chan, you moron.

>>12077945
No thanks, I can grab it myself from 2ch.

>>12077948
Your level of idiocy is against the rules

>>12077955
Then shut the fuck up.

How the fuck does anyone play this game? My girlfriend got me into it and I'm still on the first world. Everything kicks my ass. Is there a good guide for newfags you guys could link me to? I've checked the one on the OP and it helped a bit. I'm looking for something that tells me how to grind/power up/gitgud. I'm still on world one

>>12077975
Wiki has everything you need and more.

>>12077975
>Mentioned the fact I'm on world one twice
Sorry, I've been up for over 20 hours

More extra operations when?

>>12077988
I hope soon, I really like them. Imagine having 10 (8 if you're not an M) of those to clear at the start of the month? It's like a mini-event.

>>12077992
They have to come. With more reward aside of that medal, if possible.

>>12077992

Maybe they can have extra operations with random enemy ships on each node.

Why won't Iku appear for me?
Am I not virile enough ;_;

>>12077945
What is this?

>>12078007
Kancolle bot developed by some guy on 2ch.

>>12078002
Most likely.

>>12077945
Do they still mess with Javascript injects?

Because fuck that noise

Best starter ship.

>>12078039
Samidare is the best starter ship
