Do Hatsuzuki and/or Akizuki drop anywhere in this event?

Let's fall in love with Yamakaze!

What level of resource should I switch to easy? I can't finish the last dance.

>>16574809
If even one plane survives they can still hit you for full damage, have you never said hi to Re before?

>>16574903
you have 12 days

>>16574893
no

https://exhentai.org/g/1029802/f6f070b1a9/

Will this be enough to, more or less, maintain AS at E-3 boss if i don't have any better than 4 21(skilled) and a Catalyna; and should I send them to preboss and boss to soften up AA?

Larger slots have Reppuu, smaller - Shiden K2, Tones's with Zero seaplane.

>>16574874
M'lady.

>>16574930
>four carriers to e3

Why?

Anyway 510FP is enough, yes.

>>16574924
Well my event is over, then. Thanks anon.

>>16574930
On hard, no because Wo Kai whittles the air power by a good chunk.

>>16574937
Sorry, i just put random stuff in fleet, then decided what air power can i get with CVLs, and CAV if needed.

>>16574939
What about medium?

>>16574939
>On hard, no
I'm pretty fucking sure I did it with sub-500 FP.

>finally S-rank an E-3
>get rainbow background Amatsukaze instead

For once I am disappointed in getting a rainbow

>>16574874
How did KanColle HQ know that you could kill one of the twins?

So for E3 I'll need to put 2 planes on 401, right?

If I don't have Shiun, will 2 observation planes do? I've noticed that the seaplane bombers have better LoS, will they get shot down before the boss and not contribute?

Is it better to do 2 runs with 1 dissembled Saiun each time, or take both at once?

Any good leveling spots this event?

>>16574945
>>16574947
LBAS helps with AS at the boss

>>16574950
nice fangs

>>16574960
First node (air battle) of transport section of E-3 is free 540(?) experience for a submarine flagship. You can sort of level LBAS there too while you're at it.

>>16574963
meant to reply to >>16574939

>>16574965
Nice. Time to level these new subs before sending them to Orel.

This is going to be a long war.

>>16574993
You're gonna have fun writing those gay ass notes once you hit your 100th run.

>>16574939
>>16574963
Is it better to focus fighter LBas on boss, or spread between boss and preboss?

>>16574993
>not wanting more KTKM to farm quints from

Oh my god I have to complain about this, what the fuck is going on, I'm just getting no drops on Ss or Perfect Ss!?!?!?

E3 done. Now only Fujinami farm left.

Shout out to the Based Fast Snail Fighter Mule. Never thought I would use her this way.

>>16575007
Did you bother with CA hime/Ritou S rank sekrit debuff?

Wiki says the E3 mission debuff "lowers Abyssal Twin Princesses' defense power (not to be confused with armor) by 23". What is the difference between defense power and armor, is it the number subtracted from the attack power after the RNG armor rolling? Sorry I'm dumb.

>>16575042
Yes. CA Hime took a couple of runs with double LBAS and support (I'd like to think it was thanks to the farmed FaTs and upgraded Quints but nah, it was simply crits) but Ritou node is super easy.

>>16575007
How do you hit 271 with yellow guns? I can only hit 2x70 with yellow guns.

Place your bet #2

Final formation, 27/500 TP bar.

>>16575057
>red shitgure
You've fucked up.

>>16575057
>2 carriers and 2 destroyers down
>no LBAS
C rank, that's the best I can give you.

>>16575057
There are still anons that do this

>>16575053
Color of the gun doesn't matter, Kitakami deals almost cap damage with double attack. It was a crit too. Not sure if debuff added some special modifier, didn't calculate it but it's possible.

>>16575071
Do what?

>>16575079
Make "place your bets" posts. It almost always ends up badly.

>>16575088
His previous post ended with "totemo okay desu" though.

>>16574874
>the 28th
Nice one fag. What if it gets extended?

>>16574935
M'tsukaze.

>>16575096
Unless Rabaul explodes again, it wont.

>>16575096
Then it'll simply get updated in the next OP.

>>16575060
>>16575061
>>16575071
>>16575094

Tottemo okay desu indeed.

>>16575102
I don't think it will be Rabaul.

>>16575103
At least add the month.

On E3 transport, would it be a good idea to use aerial support? Most enemies on the boss have shit armor.

>>16575118
There's Tsu though.

>>16575118
I tried it, actually.

It did shit damage (killed 1 mob) but I also got S rank on that run (debuffing), so yeah.

Fuck farming.

>>16575126
I'm sure you should tolerate the Tsu until you can get the S for debuff.

>>16575118
That only works against Central Hime.

Levelling chevrons on LBAS must be the single most cancerous mechanic in the game.

>>16575135
Winter events are super easy, that's why Tanaka said drop rate should be super shitty as well.

>>16575118
Too inaccurate, just dump all T99 Egusa on high FP carriers and take hotels.

>>16575148

Just fatigue level it on a subnode, no big deal.

>>16575153
Show us your heavy fleet that reaches TP boss, in webm form if possible.

Post your event loot.

>>16575163
But I was talking about support

>>16575167
I scrapped most of it

I wish subs have 3 slots, not counting in the punchhole.

>>16575163
he meant for support, anon

>>16575163
>this reading comprehension

>>16575174
Hello, oniichan...

>>16575163
So this is what I sounded like yesterday. I want to say sorry to that anon who I didn't believe about being able to reach the boss, I didn't realize I sounded this obnoxious.

Can I bring Zui to E2

Someone please post E2 equips

>>16575181
There's no way shes not a slut

>>16575135
>7.17%
>3.08%
Lies, lies everywhere.

>>16575193
>>16572045

I hate RNG. It took me fucking 124 sorties to get my U, and it took me 2 fucking sorties into E-2 to get the Yuugumo who i don't even need that much, as i need some of the more common gumos that just don't want to fucking drop.

It always treats me like this. Throw rocks at me, but i'd settle more for another U than her.

>>16575181
>according to yoshitnori, this is a shy girl

>>16575181
I didn't know Yamashiro had a little sister.

>>16575204
Why the duck do KC3fags still use that obnoxious red filter?

>>16575204
At least disable KC3's red jam before taking a screenshot. It looks like shit.

>>16575207
>never forget Nagatsuki
Just in case.

Do you still need saiun to reach node I after clearing the gauge?

>>16575181
>>16575193
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obkSxQ4Ld0s

Basically Yamakaze in submarine form.

>>16575191
Yeah, but for last dance have Kinu do OASW because the sub node gets very cancerous.

>>16575206
>Yamashiro
?

>>16575221
Her hair style reminds me of Yamashiro before she goes K2.

>>16575216
>Implying she's not like Sengoku Nadeko

>>16575225
>same hair style makes for siblings now
Yeah no

>>16575216
Hitomi isn't a shitty retard who's dependent on the admiral, she can do things on her own. She just so happens to have fallen for the admiral and wants a romantic get away at Truk.

>>16575156
That means wasting thousands of bauxite switching bases.

>>16575219
Cheers.

>>16575219
Is this enough to S the boss node for you? I carry far less drums/daihatsu for a total of 35-40 TP gauge per sortie with A, and A is the best result i can get.

Kidou or transport for E2 farm? Supports?

>>16575264
I only S ranked the map once out of the 7 times I reached the boss. I don't really care about farming the new gumo, there is probably a better setup for farming.

>>16575292
Transport with double support for the first 75%. Then Kidou.

>>16575232
>Hitomi isn't a shitty retard who's dependent on the admiral, she can do things on her own.
Yamakaze isn't dependent in her lines.

>>16575292
>>16575300

>Supports

I done it without any support, don't be a pussy.

>>16575216
Except not an ugly retard thankfully.

>>16575300
What about after 100%?

>>16575308
>everyone should take the extra risk because I say so, otherwise he's a pussy
>I done
>I
>done
Okay.

>>16575232
>Hitomi isn't a shitty retard who's dependent on the admiral

Neither is Yamakaze.

>>16575334
This, yamashitgure is just a shitty retard.

>>16575167
Here, after 60 E-1 and 39 E-2 farming runs.
Not keeping anyone, already scrapped a Mizuho, Tanikaze, 3 Isokaze, 2 Minazuki and 2 Urakaze too so pretty shit so far.

>>16575324
>the extra risk

Supports provide minimal help because their appearance is irrelevant.

>>16575318
How the hell did I miss the "farm" part? Kidou.

How many ships do i need to sink for an A agains a combined fleet? 8, as in 4 out of 6 two times?

>>16575366
8, as in floor(0.7*12).

>>16575372
Floor? 0.7?

>>16575374
floor(0.7*number of ships in enemy fleet) is the number of enemy ships you need to sink to get A rank.

>>16575344
Happens to everyone. Thanks. I assume no supports and just aim for A?

>>16575339
Didn't mean this as complaining but whatever, 40th run, time for fun at E-3 soon.

>30 attempts to get Hitomi
>~30 more left
This is the truly scary side of LSC hell.

>>16575382
You only need LBAS. But you can use boss support if you want.

>>16575374
>Floor?
Round down.

> 0.7?
Multiply by 0.7, the decimal number. It's equivalent to finding 70% of something.

>>16575135
>2 harukaze
>1 harusame
>1 tokitsukaze
>2 amatsukaze
>1 takanami
>0 nowaki
I don't even care about the new whogumo I just want nowacchi

>>16575382
It's up to you, really. Combat-oriented Kidou shouldn't have problems with scoring S ranks, unless RNG decides otherwise. You may add boss support if you don't mind additional expenses, but I wouldn't say it's obligatory.

>>16575388
Already got it. Thanks anyway.

>>16575394
Same thing is happening to me. Never got lucky with her dropping at 4-5 and now she's not dropping here. Come to me please!

>>16575394
Why do you care about Nowaki? I scrap her all the time. She's shit.

>>16575394
>>16575412
Why would you two want such a useless ship?

If I try to get Hitomi on easy mode, I need to do Saiun development material wasting again and again right? I only have 25.
So best way to get her is just to spank the finished form on hard?

>>16575432
Yes and yes.

>>16575432
You only nedd the recon seaplane and t97, so it's much cheaper.

>>16575426
Because she's cute.

>>16575440
You also need 10 devmats per T97.

>>16575443
Monkeys aren't cute.

>>16575426
Probably for collecting, do you know what game you're playing?

>>16575432
>only 25
You'll be fine if you have the subs and torps when it comes to the saiun part. That's way more than enough.

Can someone explain, why do the wikis say the E-2 TP gauge is 400 for medium, yet it shows 370 for me?

>>16575455
Your HQ level is low.

Would my shipfu still love me if I failed to get the memedal? I have 10k bauxite left.

>>16575456
Isn't 102 considered "go hard or you are a Kuso" level?

>>16575459
Of course.

>>16575455
TP gauge is only that high from a certain level. Below a certain level it's lower.

>>16575459
When you sortie your shipfu to an event map, she doesn't even know an event is going on.

>>16575461
It is but devs are feeling generous.

>>16575448
So people here just collect and leave them at level 1?

>>16575472
T-thanks.

Also, first Sakusen get.

>>16575477
Congrats. Now you'll be able to attempt hard in next events with FCF magic.

How much FP do I need for E2 south?

>>16575459
Depends on boatwife in question. For example, if it's Sara or Houshou, you're pretty much safe since they belong to the failure-friendly group of boatfus. If it's Ooyodo or Kasumi, you might as well send Tanaka an e-mail with a question about divorce papers. If it's bongo or shitgure, you're already a cuck.

>>16575478
I think i'm an average of 30 levels short to even think about hard. Complete this event on medium will be a grat achievement for me already.

>>16575472
>generous
>20-60 TP points less
Is this the most useless feature they took the time to implement? It's like one less run needed for the easiest part of the events.

>>16575482
>boat
Opinion discarded.

>>16575459
>been playing since fall 2013
>still a 0 memedal 100-slot poor shitter
I'm the one who should be asking that.

>>16575484
It's been there even before difficulty levels.

>>16575484
It applies to HP bars too.

>>16575491
TP gauge didn't exist before difficulty levels.

>>16575476
I don't know about others but I at least remodel everyone and if I like them I'll just keep levelling them and occasionally use them for weeklies or something.

>>16575476
I will level all of the ships that i like, but ships that have kai ni or quests take priority, most of the time.

What's the point of the sub radar besides having another class exclusive equip? Can you at least hurt other subs? Is it just a LoS equip for non-SSV subs?

>>16575483
With 60+ top of the fleet I was able to go 甲甲甲甲丙 in my second event and since then it's 甲 only. Don't worry, take your time and use current experience to improve. It's all about knowledge, dedication and time. By the time Spring arrives you should be able to train your (personal) elites to the ~90 and if you support them with mechanics knowledge everything should be fine.

>>16575520
> just a LoS equip for non-SSV subs
That's it, it seems. Was hoping for a sub-v-sub ability, alas.

>>16575525
Every event.

>>16575520
The new subs can use it and still have torp cut-in so there's that.

>>16575525
I almost did this, it was pretty close

>>16575538
Don't you chain your girls to not make grave mistakes?

Is this enough los for E3?
I'm not sure if I understand the formula correctly.

>>16575520
>>16575528
It's equipment used for detecting radars. How did you expect it to actually fight other submarines? It's a great placebo item on new subs or when you aren't going for TCI.

>>16575568
Yes.

>get god knows how many A-ranks in E-3 including last dance and so, probably like 30 or so
>didnt get anything good
>get four S-ranks
>2 Amatsukazes and now Hitomi

HAHAHAHAHA....time to switch to farming for Teruzuki

>>16575483
Levels don't matter

>>16575619
Despite all the wolocaust, why is Wo so precious?

>>16575569
It's just a normal radar, not a radar detector like the Metox.

For Teruzuki, is it better to farm J or L

Does going to J lead me to I?

>>16575525
I don't get it. Why don't these people heartlock new ships the second they're in the fleet?

>>16575702
J seems to have a higher drop rate for rares

>>16575732
Because they're that stupid, hell they can see the girl's image when they modernize so you can't fuck up and they still manage to do it.

I want to haterape Wo.

Haven't gotten a single S-rank against E-3's boss yet and getting to her is starting to become a bitch. I hope the post clear farming goes a lot smoother like people are saying.

where is nimu

Was this the plan?

>>16575859
For some reason, I’m reminded of Hyuuga.

>>16575841
Prostituting herself.

>>16575859
Plan for what?

>>16575859
Yes.

>>16575881

Plan for getting caught.

12 Mamiyas later and I still can't get an S rank at E3, can someone just shoot me in the head and be done with it

>>16575885
>Thinks spoiling your girls with sweets will give good results

>>16575885

>12 Mamiyas

If you're having trouble after that much forced sparkling, you're clearly doing something wrong.

>>16575885
post your fleet

>>16575881
Is Yoshinori capable of drawing non-slut girls?

>>16575949

I can't seem to finish E3 final round.
Here's my fleet and ask me if I'm lacking something.

Did you just throw guns on randomly?

>>16575953
Nah she shows off too much.

>>16575977
Sorry mistyped, swap Bisko and Iowa's guns. I picked those guns because they came with the shipgirls and thought there'd be a fit bonus.

>>16575957
>>16575966
did you do the debuffs? I'm getting worried since I don't have any better than that

>>16575976
Because he hates Ayaki with a passion.

>>16575957
I did the quest debuff. I heard there's another debuff but i dunno if that's true.

>>16575957
Use a combat setup on Maya. Throw away one of the AA guns and replace it with 20.3 (3) gun. Don't use TCI on KTKM.

>>16575975
It isn't any kind of cut-in.

>>16576004
It is true. There is a jingle. S rank I and J.

>>16576000
Good, Ayaki is trash anyways.

easy and boring event

>>16576030
Shit girls too.

Easy and exciting event.

>>16576038
Iyo is awesome and Matsukaze is pretty cool. Sadly Fujinami and Hitomi have serious art-voice mismatch.

Is it possible to deplete Re's slots now that we can send 4 air raids to her node?

Easy ranking and easy leveling event

>>16576050
You always could with Akizuki or Maya assuming they triggered both proportional and fixed AA.

>>16575953
>>16575980
Strange that nobody focuses on how skanky Nagato and Mutsu's outfits are.

>>16576062

>>16575949
Saratoga is the non-sluttiest ones he draw. And we all like her for that.

>>16576079
I found that if I had 4 fBBs in main fleet, they end up targeting the escort fleet in their second shelling phase. Then escort fleet has nothing to shell and just torpedos.

>>16575651
Enchanting squishy body.

>>16576081

>>16575953
Nagato dresses like a whore.

>>16576081
>for that.
I don't like her for that, I like her for different reasons. If you like a Yoshinori girl because she doesn't show skin then you're as shallow as people who like Shimakaze because of her outfit.

>>16576020
Rude but true.

>>16576089
I thought we were talking about the default form.
Many artists make their girls look slutty in damaged form.

>>16576081

>>16576087

>>16576094

>>16576081
>design based on Marilyn Monroe

>>16576104
That's because Potatoes are not sexy.

>>16576104
She is and still boring as hell.

>>16576089
Showing her true nature.

>>16576094
There's more to being slutty than wearing revealing clothing.

Why is there no expedition tab on the observer?

Are 3 slotted subs really that amazing?

>>16576176
Yes! They can use third torp for super power or the new eq for good stats or a boiler for evasion. They are also outstanding LoS mules.

>>16576176
Sources say they are(They aren't)

>>16576176
Their torpedo stat is shit m8

>>16576176
They are now the best anti-installation subs?

>>16576176
Of course.

>>16576215
Dumb tank girl

>>16576215
When is humikane coming back?

If Imuya is a sniper why does she have shit tier luck?

>>16576231
Skill always beats luck.

>>16576231
Because she is a loser.

>>16576231
Because creeping up on a dying soldier and giving him one last kick before running off isn't really what I'd call lucky.

>>16576120
Slut pls.

>>16576231
If she had high luck, TCI would be a norm and not a snipe for her.

What the fuck, I've lost more planes in 1-5 in the last week than I have since I started playing the game. How is that possible against zero AA?

>>16576201
Iyo's torp stat is only 1 point lower than Ro's and Hitomi has higher FP and Torp than Ro.

>>16576216
>chinkshit

>>16576277
You can just put a third torp on them anyway.

How easy is it to get the meme medal this event? I haven't gotten one since Winter 2015

>>16576215
Pepperoni is the cutest

is two days enough to clear e-2 and do all the debuffs for e-3? I want to leave myself a full week for clearing e-3 and farming the new sub, but I'm still stuck on farming e-2 for now.

>>16576304
E-2 can be a bit more costly if you don't have enough seaplane fighters.

E-3 has that stupid gimmick that forces you to scrap Saiuns and potentially fuck you over if you don't at least get an A at the boss node.

Other than that, its not so bad.

The wikia is a bit confusing. If you do the debuff quest, do you still need to sink Twins Hime twice? (i.e. sink her once to destroy the gauge, then sink her again)

>>16576313
No.

>>16576320
Thank you. I wish I could rewrite some of their paragraphs because their guides just seem like a vomit of tips on the page.

>>16576313
No just get her to last kill.

>>16576313
>Completing this quest will put the Abyssal Twin Princesses at the Boss Node U in their debuffed final form until the map is cleared.

Seems pretty clear to me.

>>16576331
Yeah, they can be confusing and it happens every time in events. Thankfully this time seems to be better than absolute disasters from 2015 and 2016.

>>16576304
Pretty easy.
Hardest part of the event for me is the S rank at node I for debuff and farming for drops.

I am not sure how difficult it is without the node I debuff since I did it right at the start but killing the boss is easy after you complete the node J quest.
A TCI crit will do around ~300 damage to her final form.

How do LBAS affect overall fighter power on a specific node? Fleet's FP + LBAS FP?

>>16576304
Not bad at all. Even with some rough starts, experimenting with compositions and setups, and some occasionally nasty RNG, it only took 50k in fuel (about half of that for everything else) to finish and farm everything.

Should I run 2CA in the escort fleet for E3 kuso or replace one of them with a CLT? (I'll be bringing a CLT regardless)

I know CLTs offer more firepower during yasen, but at the same time they're less durable than CAs.

>>16576406
CLTs will be fine in kuso modo. I took two and ABKM with me in hard mode and they reached the boss intact most of the time just fine.

>>16576352
What does defense power mean?

>>16576352
Haven't done the I debuff and the boss node itself seems pretty easy so far, getting past all the airstrikes with my ships forgetting to AACI is the only real problem.

Why hasn't someone suggested a non-sub composition for I yet?

>>16576396
No, land bases act independently from the fleet. Whatever damage the LBAS managed to do is what the fleet faces, so more fighter power equals more planes shot down and an easier time for AACI to wipe the planes out and get AS.

Shameful 2bh. You can make one every month. Upgraded planes proved their worth last August so you should've started then at the very latest. Your own fault if you don't have enough by now.

>>16576562
I'm at work right now but I have Reppuu Kai, two Reppuu 601, Re.2005, max Iwamoto and six skilled 52s. If you're willing to wait ~10 hours I can get back home and screenshot it for you.

>>16576557
Is that the one that needs Houshou and pilots?

How many fighters are people putting in their land bases for E-3?

>>16576583
1 fighter per squadron.

>>16576557
I have enough only for bases, I use 2 Reppuu Kai, Re.2005, 2 Reppuu 601, Iwamoto and the rest with 21s.

>>16576586
I was using two and one but I was getting entire squadrons shot down.

>>16576583
2-2

I thought 4 saiuns were enough. I didn't listen...

>>16576594
If you're using something like unupgraded skilled 52s and vanilla T1 bombers you're probably better off using 2/2 instead, yeah.

I don't think you can afford having dupes with 100 slots, It's better to have a variety in my opinion. 100 slots really gets screwed by historic routing and locking.

This is the game thread mate. The birthday shit is pretty much spam, especially since birthdays come up quite often.

>>16576934
Even without that, his posts are actually genuine spam since he uses the same phrase every time. On both /jp/ and /a/ when there's a thread up there as well, with the same image to boot.

>>16576934
>This is the game thread mate.
This is a thread for the franchise. It doesn't say "game thread" in the OP and never has, and character discussion has never been banned from these threads.

Stop trying to enforce rules that don't exist via shitposting and colorful variants on "kys".

Is it worth going for air supremacy over air superiority for E-2 boss (or in general I guess)

That's a lot of air power difference

>>16576938
Gonna agree with him here, it's just one image post, it isn't gonna kill anybody.

There's a lot more shittier posts you could bitch about than the /a/ birthday posts.

>>16576939
If you have the fighters, I say go for it.

>>16576938
>This is a thread for the franchise.

Doujinshi are on-topic in /jp/. The parts of the franchise that are explicitly in /a/ don't go here, but that's all.

As for actually dumping in the thread, that might be "spam" by virtue of consisting of many posts, but no more than giving us a play by play of your event would be, in which case it would be the frequency of posting rather than the actual material that would be "not-/jp/."

>>16576949
Are you using that meme torp Maya build?

>>16576801
Due to ship locking you have justification for up to 4 of the same DD in some cases. You don't need any DDs other than a handful. Historical routing has never been something that you need to worry about.

>>16576958
I see your point, but in the end I still see the birthday posts as repetitive shitposting.

>>16576964
Don't have the Maruyu for that lad

>>16576969
Why that weird order then?

>>16576966
I see them as fun reminders that there are a shitton of ships out there, that they had long and proud service histories (except Miyuki and and the scrapyard girls, I suppose), and that it's a nice thought to try and give each of them a day in the spotlight once a year.

Birthdays are commemorations. That's all. If you don't give a flying shit about a ship because she's got garbage stats in an unremarkable class and doesn't happen to be routing bitch of the month, you can ignore it. It's not very hard. You only have to ignore her once a year.

>>16576972
Abukuma has double attack so it doesn't really matter. I'm counting on Kitakami or Shiggy to pull through.

>>16576890
boats are the mvp of this event

>>16576981
>except Miyuki and and the scrapyard girls, I suppose

I'm curious who are those in particular. Given their lack of action, it's hard to remember their names.

Got to the boss with only scratch and then realized I forgot to turn on LBAS again.

>>16576934
I started the birthday posting 7 months ago because nobody cared about Okinami's birthday except me, I never knew people would follow suit because that's pretty much the only time I've done it. At least it somewhat made people look up the ship birthdays.

>>16576995
Bravo.

>>16576999
>made people look up the ship birthdays
reddit has it automated.

>>16576981
Don't assume I'm a statsfag. The problem in my eye isn't any particular ship, it's that it's the same shit getting posted for every ship. Nobody discusses service history or anything of the sort. I'd dislike it if my shipfu got a birthday post (and it is inevitable at this point).

If anything, the events, which reference different historical events and bring up less popular ships like Fumizuki and their history, are a much more natural way to commemorate the history behind the kanmusu.

>3 kaga and no I-13

>forgot to combine my fleet after sparkling and sent my 2nd fleet on support expedition

JUST

>>16576958
I have to agree with him. Such posts just invite unwanted spamming. Letting /a/ post things here just because they "can go here" is asking for trouble later on.

>Doujinshi
There are official manga too such as the 4koma.

>The parts of the franchise that are explicitly in /a/ don't go here
From >>16576938 you were implying they do belong here.

>>16576994
I was thinking of the girls who were produced just in time to do nothing, like I've-never-even-seen-an-airplane Katsuragi. There aren't too many because most of the ships produced late in the war were from destroyer classes that aren't in the game.

>>16577011
If you care about your ship you can fill in the blanks and talk about her service history when it's time to say something nice about her. I wrote a small essay on Nagatsuki's launch anniversary and nobody responded. Telling people to fuck off to Reddit and drink bleach when trying to celebrate someone's birthday certainly isn't going to make people want to talk about much of anything.

>>16576981
>and that it's a nice thought to try and give each of them a day in the spotlight once a year.
Yet no one gives a shit when you do it.

>>16577003
Woah really? That's actually pretty nice, they are finally good for something.

>>16577025
I do.

>>16577024
>you can fill in the blanks and talk about her service history when it's time to say something nice about her
That's too much effort for him.

>>16576981
>fun
The geneal attitude of the thread I've seen over the years is that trying to have any sort of fun just invites shitposting, so it's better for this thread to be completely devoid of fun.

>>16577024
You asking for someone to say something nice is just asking for people to shit on girl more you fucking retard.

>>16577024
>Telling people to fuck off to Reddit and drink bleach when trying to celebrate someone's birthday certainly isn't going to make people want to talk about much of anything.
That's actually a good thing for this thread.

>>16577023
I don't give a shit about pre-emptive board policing because people might one day post something you don't like.

>you were implying they do belong here.
Whoop de fucking do. You can talk about Vocaloid and Vocaloid-related things here, whether they're games, music, characters, fanart, or anything else, really. This statement implies that Mekakucity Actors discussion belongs here. But that's an anime! Fortunately, if you're not completely fucking autistic, you can read between the lines.

>>16577029
It doesn't have to be a one-man show.

>>16577024
I know more about my shipfu than the entirety of /jp/ thanks to being able to read untranslated shit about her from nip sources that never made it into wikipedia but I don't come here on her birthday to bug other people about a ship they may not even care about.

>>16577024
>I wrote a small essay on Nagatsuki's launch anniversary and nobody responded.
I wonder why, it couldn't possibly be because people don't actually give a shit if it has nothing to do with an event. Nope, totally not why.

>>16577038
>if you're not completely fucking autistic
Then you don't belong on /jp/ in the first place?

Fuck all this arguing, someone post a bingo so I have something to brag about.

>>16577024
>you can fill in the blanks and talk about her service history when it's time
Or people could just read her wikipedia article/TROM/etc. when they feel like it, which posting would just be a regurgitation of anyway. Nobody responded because what is there to say to a history write-up? "Cool story", I suppose. Whereas for an event we can speculate what going to Ulithi will mean, for example.

Question, if I'm going to do the secret debuff first, should I do the quest debuff too?

boats

>>16577048
Might as well since you can S rank Ritou's node pretty well.

>>16577048
The two seem to be basically unrelated, with the quest activating last dance. Do the hidden debuff to nerf CV hime.

>>16577048
quest debuff is trivial to do since it just requires A ranks, so might as well

I didn't even bother with the secret one and cleared just fine

>>16577047
You could also talk about doujinshi you liked featuring her, existing or seasonal lines that you really liked, the quality of her voice acting, or any number of other things that don't consist of the latest and greatest speculation cribbed from Japanese twitter.

>>16577045
I'd make one, but a non-casual friendly one

>>16577038
You know as well as I do that the /a/ thread and /jp/ thread are completely irreconcilable. Talking about the vocaloid anime in /jp/ is not a problem only because that's not the case for them.

>>16576965
I'm not sure how useful dupe DDs are. I feel like there's plenty of daihatsu carriers, and you have 3 ducks for AA cut-in already. You can use also use Maya-sama in place of one if needed. You can get by with any regular DDs on early event maps, and if you're lucky they might be used for routing or end up with a useful kai ni. I guess with dupes you can front line with more confidence, but I don't think you really should do it with only 100 slots.

I personally made it through 4 locks in summer 2015 without dupes. I think I didn't keep enough CVLs around, but I managed.

>>16577062
>You know as well as I do that the /a/ thread and /jp/ thread are completely irreconcilable.
I don't often visit and consequently don't give much of a shit what the /a/ thread gets up to since I'm not (usually) interested in discussing the anime or the manga.

>>16577040
This. If you post your shipfu at every other opportunity, that's just unwanted attention whoring. Keep who you like to yourself.

>>16577065
>he thinks the /a/ thread discusses the anime

>>16577066
>every other opportunity
It's once a fucking year!

>>16577068
It doesn't, but that's a matter for /a/ posters and /a/ mods to deal with if they don't like it.

>>16577071
>It's once a fucking year!
Too much. Talk about tenth of a percent stat gains instead.

>>16577071
I see you're ignoring the fact that /a/ is called Anime & Manga and KanColle has several manga translated by them. A common mistake for beginners.

My amazing wife.

>>16577074
KanColle is a multimedia franchise centered around a game. It has an anime, manga, drama CDs, arcade cabinets, and convenience store tie-ins, but it is primarily a browser game. Discussion of characters from this franchise (especially those who literally do not exist in any /a/-related media at the time they are released) can only be argued to belong in /a/ by the most tortured reading of the rules imaginable.

It's not about the rules. It's about the notion some people have that the thread in /jp/ is only ever allowed to be about the game and if somebody talks about something else, that maybe someone in /a/ once talked about before, everybody has free license to throw shitposts at them until they go away.

>>16577080
>especially those who literally do not exist in any /a/-related media at the time they are released
This is as retarded as the guy who tried to argue you couldn't discuss Prinz on /a/ because she wasn't in the anime.

>>16577077
why is your wife double attack instead of torpedo?

>>16577083
I'm not arguing that you can't do it in /a/. I'm arguing this idiotic fucking notion that "character discussion belongs in /a/" is something that people pulled out of their asses based, at most, on thread tradition as opposed to the rules about Anime and Manga that users are oh so helpfully informing me about.

>>16577077
