-Spring 2015 event announced for April, along with Italian BB (presumably Littorio-class)
-Murakumo kai2 out
-New Extra Operation (1-6).
-Mutsuki-class DD Kai2 sometime in Spring

Honestly Murakumo's kai ni is pretty good.
The worst part is they fucked with her eyebrows which were absolutely perfect.
Apart from that I enjoy the thick thighs and abs.

Only Murakumo, Sazanami and Inazuma will because they're part of the Fubuki subclass.

I guess I was somewhat prepared for it considering stupid high stats of Fubuki despite her lack of achievements.

Oh well, Sazanami will look great, drew is constantly getting better.

[Anonymous No.]

Somewhat okay. The stat differences are not really much anyway.
Besides Fubuki is an onee-chan. She should be better than all of them!

Neither surprised nor sour. Bukki was my starter, and she's still my favourite girls among the starters. It makes sense that she's a bit stronger than the others, since AFAIK, none of the starters had stellar combat achievements, while Bukki is the name ship.

With limited attempts per month, we need to figure out the optimal way to exploit this. I'm guessing the different routes focus on different types of resources, so you can change your setup depending on whether you want ammo or bauxite. There's also the questions of whether rewards scale with the number of drums and what happens if you return in the middle of the sortie. It'll be hilarious if you can stop before the last node to farm tons of resources and people who complete it for the month are screwed.

Just attempted it for fun, 4 DD's, 2 CL's.

A>E>G>K>M>J (flagship said something, which allowed me to go to J instead of L)>D

Was doing fine until Node D, which I guess was a support node because I just got smashed and then the day battle ended. Each node give different exp, first node gives 30, D is 170 or something around there. G gives Ammo, M gives fuel.

I'm angry, I was really looking forward to the kai 2 but the artist just had to mess up her artwork.
I don't give a damn about stats and I sure as hell won't remodel my Murakumo.

They put that in for F5'ing out, like with 3-2's steel node. We'll have to test it out here.

Unless you want people who don't know better to believe his constant lies and self-victimization.

>>13300987
People used to abuse the fact that you could hit a resource node and then refresh.
So you only get to keep the resources if you finish the sortie.

[Anonymous No.]

>>13300987
Yes because people abused 3-2 farming for free steel

No, but I took some pictures, will post them so you can get an idea. HQ level 52 btw. Also I lied, J gives 170 base.

>>13301022
Test with CLT. If you can get there with them then you might still be able to manage it with opening torpedo phase if that is in.

CVL is also a possibility.

>>13301028
So you get an easier D node if you have a lower TTK level, J remains the same though.

K has some variety, 1 flagship, 1-2 elite.

[Anonymous No.]

1-6, they said. It's going to be easy, they said.

Unless one of the routes has massive sub boost that's pretty much a lie. Two DDs with one sonar a piece is enough.

>>13301030
It is pretty piss easy really. So long as you don't get taiha on your flagship on B or D nodes you can advance to the base to complete it, so you can go all out on those troll nodes.

Assuming sarcasm, but it wasn't hard at all.

I went in blind with only a couple decent girls (my Jintsuu is trash atm, only 25 with barely any mods). If I mod her and get Yuudachi to Kai Ni, as well as make sure I actually don't equip a ton of ASW (because with my setup it was apparently a waste seeing as I only got one sub node), then I could probably clear it.
>>13301046
> So long as you don't get taiha on your flagship on B or D nodes you can advance to the base to complete it, so you can go all out on those troll nodes.
Wait, are you telling me the last node isn't a fight?

CLTs are? I haven't tested.

Ok, CVLs are fine though.

Oh well fuck me, then. I survived the shelling, but ended it because I thought it was a fight.

You should have quoted some image with subs then because there are multiple sub nodes confirmed.
They way you did it looked like you wanted to warn us that ASW is needed despite strong surface ships on other nodes.

[Anonymous No.]

1-6 seems like a colossal waste of time for people with max res

[Anonymous No.]

Node I.

[Anonymous No.]

Has anyone actually confirmed cleared 1-6? I managed to get to the end node with 4x DD + 2x CL and then suddenly got the error screen and was forced to reload.

Is that on my end or is the map just bugged?

[Anonymous No.]

>>13301082
Now there's a node you want decent ASW for. You have CVLs, maybe CVLs get forced that way? Or you just failed the LoS check.

Passing the LoS check at M might be important.

>>13301085
It seems so.

>>13301098
Looking at that I think that C > H > K > M > J > D might be the best route because you save that combined fleet for the final node and that is the one that is most likely to fuck you over.

Maybe my original 5DD 1CA fleet is one of the better to use.

Oh shit, it's my chinjufu.

Passed it with 58 LOS.

So couldn't I just do 1-6 with suicide fleet of lvl 1 ships because there is no boss anyway?

C>K>J>D, each image represents it's node respectively.
Shouhou has 3xgreen 1xblue, Furutaka has 1 night recon plane and Fumoffu, Tenryuu has 3x red guns, destroyers have 1 akiduki gun 13 Kai holo sonar each. In combined fleet node second airphase was completely one-sided, enemies haven't even launched planes(see that I did some damage while abyss filth haven't even forced my girls to dodge). Reward was 300 ammo.

Seems luck based, but sortieing them is dirt cheap, so you could retry and eventually clear it with a positive net gain.

I recommend doing this map after your dailies (or weeklies) when you have new ships you'd use for modernization/scrapping quests.

Woah there, guy! I'm not saying you'll actually let them sink, it's just that by using low-leveled ships resource costs and repair times wouldn't be as taxing as using your main fleet would be. Think of it as Orel for DD's. You could actually make it a daily thing! :-)

It might be faggotry. But it's necessary faggotry.

Speaking about subs, since there are no dead-end nodes can't you just subcheese it?

1-6 with 6DD is basically an AA cut-in paradise. HA+FD guns w/ radars and all you have to deal with is scratch damage. Equipping 1-2 sonars is fine as well.
