Old granny pre dreadnought battleship Mikasa when?

>>13418636
They should just make a WWI version of the game.

>>13418661
Good then I can be a Austro-Hungarian navy man that just goes and visits brothels and comes home with syphilis

>>13418673
>tfw no kuk navy
>tfw no kuk at all

>>13418661
Battleship Texas served in both world wars and retired to Texas to teach children how cool she is

>>13418692
I bet she is so redneck even her waterline is red.

>>13418708
Battleship Texas is cool, brave and daring

She's quick on the trigger with targets not muck bigger than a pinpoint, she's number 1

When she's with the pistol she sparkles like a crystal
Yes, she's shines like the morning sun

If she was to battle someone's herd of cattle you'd have steak when the job was done

>>13418728
*much*

>>13418692
Would buy her stuff if she existed.

>>13418661
You can just play that Chinese Warship Girls phone game.

Japanese ships having different designs is jarring at first if you're used to Kancolle (Kitakami and Ooi are Nodoka and Saki, what the fuck), but after that you can enjoy a whole dang bunch of girls from WWI.

>>13418685
I know that feel bro.
Fuck Italy.
And France too.

>>13418827
Too bad Chinkolle doesn't have porn.

>>13418571
Please
Fuck
Off
Kcgfag.

>>13419089
Stop trying to reverse troll kcgfag.

How likely will there be quests requiring the event ships?
I don't like them at all and would like to scrap them as soon as possible.

>>13418692
I wonder how the devs will rate her luck when she gets added to the game? 60 luck? 70 luck?

>never scuttled, never sunk, been in both world wars, is still standing today

>>13418636
I can't find the official art of Mikasa with the sweater and glasses...

Was there a lottery today/did I miss it? Sorry, I'm fucking retarded.

>>13419633
Check the twitter and the wiki. Good luck.

>>13418827
Plz that game betray everything KC stand for
There is no sinking so you can spam ship without the fear of losing. You practically can't lose

>>13419802
>wanting to lose in a casual game

>>13419802
You can't lose in Kancolle either, there's no real difference between going to red in KC and hitting 0 HP and having to restart the stage in another game. The era of "orange can sink" propaganda and sacrificial destroyers is over, nobody risks their ships anymore.

Which kind of makes KC boring because you can just gather 300k resources and bang your head against any event map until you clear it.

Gotta give it to the Japs for finding a way to glorify imperialism and objectify women at the same time.

>>13419842
In my time events were hard and you needed skill to finish them,
We should delete every kancolle wiki from the net so us hardcore players can enjoy the game and laugh at the scrubs who sink their boatfus.

Is it possible to clear E-5 without all the Mikuma/Mogami or any or the other pairs?

>>13419932
Possible? Yes.

But you're going to get taiha'd early a lot.

Shigure is my second kai 2 and now I'm abandoning her since I have Akizuki.

>>13419961
We all make hard decisions like that.
The slot limit is truly restricting.

>>13419971
shitty DMM wants to make money

>>13419922
Kancolle never needed skill, people would just get their advice from other players anyway. Even if they hardcapped resources to 25k/150 buckets, it'd still be a wait for the real time attack/other forerunner guys to figure out the routes, followed by a trip down the RNG lane.

What we should do is petitioning the devs to make 51cms equippable on battleships that deserve them. Them being exclusive to Yamato-class and Nagato-class is an insult and I'm not touching the game until it gets fixed with a formal apology.

>>13419915
But they're ships that are depicted as women. It's the womanization of objects, not the other way around.

Anyone have tips for E5? I don't have Type 3 Shells or any of those awesome weapons and I don't have the Mogami combo. What's a good basic formation and what weapons should I equip for them? Right now I'm using Choukai, Nagato, Musashi, Ryuujou, Myoukou, and I-58. That was a recommended fleet comp on the wiki though Choukai isn't even Kai so I'm wondering if I should just replace her with someone else.

>>13420067
Also I forgot to mention I added Ryuujou just because the wiki said her plus Choukai is a good combination. Could I just use Jun'you instead? Ryuujou is in her 40s while Jun'you is well over lvl 80.

>>13420086
You can use wathever you want but i think Choukai plus RJ works like the Mogami combo, didn't try it myself though. You might as well do a Junyou run and see where it goes.

>>13420249
I would be more willing to try random stuff if I didn't only have 4000 fuel at this point. This is my first event ever (only been playing for a few months) and my goal is to get Ooyodo, Unryuu, and Roma, but I'm thinking I might have to give up on trying for Roma. The idea of beating 5 and 6 is already a lot, but then grinding 6 just sounds very difficult.

>>13420067
>Anyone have tips for E5?
Pray.

A lot.

>>13420448
Fuck me. Well at least I got through E4 I guess. I thought I'd never be able to actually beat the boss.

Hmm, trying to figure out a fleet comp for E-6 Hard. Anyone have an idea?

What's the deal with the WG42? I keep using them on E-5 and so far in 5 runs they keep missing, are they just high damage but low chance of hitting or something? Or do they work better on some specific ships?

>>13421156
E-4*, my bad.

>>13421156
Eh, I tried out the WG, on DD and CL. It was garbage. Usually a single type 3 will clear most maps, maybe 2 would be better for E5.

P

>>13421184
So should i just go type 3 only for E-4 boss? What should i equip on my DDs then?

>>13421222
Uh, iunno, I just took Akizuki with AACI since shooting down more planes is always good, and maybe some NB equips... Don't really remember my compo

>>13421222
Mind you, lots of people have been saying good things about the WG. Maybe it was just bad luck, but the damage didn't feel any higher than usual.

>>13419842
A pointless era at that. If only people at the time read the tutorial and glossary a little more carefully, we wouldn't have needed to go through all that trouble.

>>13419922
>skill
There is no such thing as skill in Kancolle, just timesink.

>>13421289
"Ships can sink at red" implies that ships can't sink at orange but with the amount of fabricated reports running around nobody wanted to risk it.

>>13421315
The glossary made it pretty explicit for 轟沈:
>「大破」状態などで無理な進撃を重ねると、
被弾によって艦娘が轟沈(ロスト)してしまう可能性も！
気をつけて！

轟沈 is defined as a state that results from being taiha'd and then damaged again.

More than likely no one read the thing at all.

>>13421341
>being taiha'd and then damaged again.
This happens basically all the time.

>>13421458
As in being taiha'd in one battle and being damaged again in the next battle.

Hey /jp/, rate my shitty fleet for E4 and E5. Think I can clear them on easy mode?

Yes, these are my best planes and girls. I'm still leveling SuzuKuma and modernizing them, but since I have Ryuujou Kai, I'm goin to use her and Choukai for E5.

I'm not sure on what to do with the DDs and the last escort ship for E4; Yukikaze is my only high luck DD right now and I put KTKM there to try make up for the lack of competent carriers.

Are 41cm overweight for FBBs? I have a couple I could put on Kirishima.

>>13421600
I don't know how easy easy is but probably. I used 4 CVs in hard and they were all barely Kai'd. Akagi and Kaga were fully modernized though, pretty important.

Is that 90mm from clearing E-4 on medium any good?
Debating if I want to try that on a real difficulty, or just do easy and save Haruna for E-5 medium.

I would probably try hard if I had the HQ level, but I'm not really up for grinding 5 HQ levels in 1-5.

E-6 final kill clear, thanks for the advice about overweight/fit mechanics yesterday, it helped a fucking ton, and I didn't even notice the drop in fp compared to overweight guns.

roma drop too, so E-7 is almost more or less done too.

>>13419487
100

Name a warship that's done better for longer and is still in one piece today.

Phew, started with 111 buckets and 25k of each resource before event and only before the last successful run of E-6 am I running out buckets, fuel and ammo

This might be the first event I can successfully clear. Which reminds me, how do you guys keep yourself reminded to at least do your daily and weekly quests for buckets and resources? I keep getting lazy while hoarding them, which is why I often have ships capable for hard mode but not enough resources to deal with attrition

Feels good man

So, are support expeditions necessary for E4, E5 and E6? Or at least a good idea, if not mandatory. First three maps were a breeze, but I'm thinking of reusing the tagged ships for the expeditions.

>>13421871
It's a good idea yes, heck, it's probably necessary if you are playing on Medium or Hard

Of course, tread carefully, sometimes a string of bad luck may cause you to waste alot of resources on expedition fleets, but that's par on course for Kancolle

>>13421871
Might be for E-4, not really for E-5, i always use for last map.

Why do these new abyssal bosses sound so damn depressed? I feel bad for killing them, and this has never happened before.

Never played this since a lazy fuck and no real interest. Are Abyssal actually American vessels? Like the things they are having according to the wiki sound similar to allied aircraft like Helldiver, but then they wouldn't have been in service at the time. Plus they seem to have random naming as titles instead of specific American craft with only having anything similar to a name like Midway which was a site of a major conflict.

>>13422151
Because they are ships that players have who have sunk before and have been salvaged to serve as Abyssal.

E-5 is too hard

I wish I didnt use all my good ships on E-3 and E-4

I figured E-5 would be easy since it only had 3 nodes and I could sub tank 2 of them but noooo the BB on the first node just has to crit every single time. whenever I actually get to the boss nagato and mutsu target everything except the boss.

Is it possible to use BBVs on E-5 instead of BBs?

How many of you here has Roma ?

Really should not use all my luck for clearing e-6

>>13421871
E-4 is a joke. It even easier than e-2 IMO. the E-4 boss have terrible accuracy and her escort are terrible too.

The only hard part of E-5 is getting past the night node with your sub intact. The rest is just stuffing the Oni's holes with as much Sanshiki as you want since she like it.

E-6 definitely need Support expedition.

>>13422584
I don't need gypsies in my fleet.

>>13422598
Gypsies ?

I thought she is pure breed Roman Legionnaire in service of the great Italy that cam to great Nippon on behave of the Ceaser to help the Emperor crucifies those Christian bastard ?

>>13422601
Italians are just wannabe roman lazy greeks though.

>>13421474
>being damaged again in the next battle.
Being reduced to 0 isn't a condition? That would be a bit strange since some ships can taiha with a lot of HP still left.

I just crafted my first midget sub, so I tried to equip it to Kitakami, but it didn't show up in the equipment list. Tried to put it on one of my SS and it worked fine.

What gives?

>>13422838
Is your KTKM a CLT yet?

>>13422847
She needs to be remodeled? I thought she was a CLT from the get-go.

Is it worth marrying her? (I think shes cute but muh stats)

>>13422938
Try getting her or any ship to lvl 99 first, bucko. Then ask yourself.

Should I give my 2 CAVs a cutin setup for E5? I'm trying to find a way of damaging Ru before she pulls some real bullshit, but have to keep the double attack on my battleships

>>13423025
IMO. No

Just go full 2 Main gun + Sanshiki for all BB and CAV.

The Ru Kai is strong because the enemy you line ahead formation so it all boil down to luck.

Not >>13423025, but is it worth trying for E5 medium with only a single san-shiki, CAVs at lvl 30 and best non-locked CV also at lvl 30? I don't plan to spend more than 100 buckets.

>>13423163
Ru is such a cunt. It's impossible to kill her before yasen. She's harder than the boss.

Anyone else using a budget fleet to farm node K for Roma?

>>13423442
I just sortied my main fleet that had just cleared E-6 hard right back into the map and got Roma from the boss on my first try.

Which map are people arming Takanami from? I'm trying E-3 but no luck so far.

>>13423472
Keep farming E-3, I got her on like my third try. As far as I know, she only drops in E-3 and E-4, E-3 being a lot cheaper.

>>13423472
Based luck right there. I got my takanami at e4 boss. took me around 20 sorties

What formation would be preferable for E-5 hard node C and D?
Been having only minor nuisance from yasen node but even with line ahead the 2 nodes keep raping SSV non stop and passing it depends on lucky expedition support.

>>13423546
Kill them before they kill you.

3 CA/1CLT or 2CA/2DD for E-3?

>>13422601
Italians are the comic relief badguys of the Axis.

>>13423854
DDs suck, don't use them.

>>13421813
Fit guns gave me a huge accuracy jump with combined fleet too.

I'm not entirely sure how to make this work with CAs since they nearly miss just as much otherwise.

>>13421884
My support expeditions keep missing the ships even with full sparkle and double radars on everyone.

What am I doing wrong? Should I switch to airstrike support instead of shelling?

>>13418833
There are

>>13422725
being damaged again in next battle so that the hp really reach zero. more like the second part can be neglected due to murphy's law

So I can't kill the boss on E5.

I can get there, and I can chip, but I can never kill the cunt.

>2 stat maxed K2 Kongous with sanshiki
>2 stat maxed CAVs with sanshiki
>1 SS with damecon + triple 61s
>Kaga with 2 slots reppuu, 1 reppuu 601 and ryuusei 601

What can I do to improve my chances?

Does anyone know if it is possible to get Unryuu on Easy?

>>13424190
Play on easy.

>>13424212
Don't mistake me for a kuso

>>13424215
It's not a mistake since your post already confirmed it.

>>13424224
>RNG is a mistake

>>13424190
Pray to go south at the start

For E5 which support expedition would be most useful for taking out the boss: Aerial, Shelling, or Torpedo?

>>13424243
Always shelling

>>13424253
Thanks I'll give that a try. I can't beat the boss so I'm hoping my support can seal the deal.
