Jets never ever.
>>14489036
Soon. Don't you want to see a fairy with aviator shades?
>>14489036
They'll come with Shinano.
Have you made Fubuki your daughteru yet?
>>14489073
You mean scrapped her, right?
First for Samidare is the best starter.
>>14489073
She's been relegated to expeditions since basically the start, she's almost at lvl 80 now.
I've noticed in pvp that a lot of nips don't really know how to equip.
>>14489127
Maybe that's luck modernized Roma.
>>14489073
What's the point? None will ever be real anyway.
>>14489277
I'm sorry. I'm an EOP, and I'm too lazy to hand write all the characters into google translate. What does this image show?
>>14489323
Total FP bonus according to the improvement level of two large caliber guns plus an AP Shell.
>>14489323
The firepower of being improved inside.
>>14489036
Jet is supposed for Graf first because Me 262 is first jet fighter and first operational jet aircraft. It can fight in night show what graf can do.
What's a good way for a new player to get radars? Is Isuzu farming still a thing or are there better methods now?
>>14489437
You craft radars.
You know she loves you right?
>>14489437
If you're lucky to get Yuugumo early in the game, kai her. Other than that, it's just crafting because Isuzu radar is pretty bad for general purposes.
>>14489440
Is there a more spammable recipe than 10/11/251/250? I rarely get anything from crafting, and whatever I do get is usually worthless.
>>14489445
I do, but my waifu won't let me marry her.
>>14489437
Don't bother crafting until you're at least HQ 50. Isuzu radars will do for now.
>>14489445
I don't.
>>14489457
Welcome to KanColle, enjoy your stay.
What equipment should I focus on improving first?
>>14489543
Your life.
>>14489516
That sounds about right. Maybe I'll try for AP shells occasionally instead.
>>14489543
anti sub shit -> better planes -> ap shell/type 3 shells -> radars
>>14489543
51cm
Bisko Gun
Useless FD to Akigun
20.3(3)
AP shell
>>14489543
I did BB guns first then AP shell since those were the things I used the most.
>>14489543
MAX Stars 90mm
MAX Stars Akiduki guns
MAX Stars Bisko guns
MAX Stars 20.3(3)
MAX Stars Quint
MAX Stars 51cm
MAX Stars T1 AP Shell
For the last 4, it would be limited by your modernization fodder rather than screw.
>>14489557
>>14489575
Why would you recommend a situational gun exclusive to situational BBs to someone who probably doesn't even have it?
>>14489582
Then he should get off his ass and rank.
>>14489582
>situational BBs
51cm is the end game gun for 4 of the game strongest BB.
Why would you upgrade guns that would be obsolete?
>>14489599
Fit guns you fucking retard.
This is the first time I Stay at gensui more than 1 week. At first I hope for rank but my resources cannot keep up at this rate.
Now I just have 1070 senka and need around 1000 more to catch up and stay at top 500. What do you think /jp/? I think I should give up for now and stockpile for event and Taihou.
>>14489603
You have 3 months until the event. 1 for ranking and leveling at the same time, the other for LSC and stockpiling, the final month for full hibernation because it's guaranteed they will keep doing this drop bullshit outside of Yuugumo class.
>>14489611
Doesn't the even comes in Feburary?
>>14489603
Have you done your EO?
How are you 1000 away from top500? They should be around 1100points right now
>>14489601
51cm>41cm
>>14489617
It has to be during or before March.
>>14489618
Yeah I have done all EO. The 1000 point I mentioned is my personal prediction that the monthly rank will end around 2000. While it's true that I can catch up within the day, I afraid that I will burned out at some point and waste my resources for nothing.
>>14489632
Well, you've already invested this much and your halfway through the month; might as well go all the way.
In my experience top500 is around 1800-1900, but it really depends on your server.
If you relax a bit, just pray you don't get EO sniped.
>>14489632
Clearing every EO including 1-6 and 5-5 keeps you gensui for the entire month.
What comp do you guys use for the world 3 weekly?
>>14489667
You mean only 0.8% of players care to clear this stage? I don't know that.
>>14489645
Now that it comes to this. Do you think my resources can make it? Maybe it might be better if I clear my business with LSC first and rank when I am truly prepared.
>>14489671
1CV, 1CVL, 1 CLT, 1FBB, 1 DD 1 CA
>>14489671
1FBB 3CV 1CLT and Maya.
Actually, anything strong enough work. But I use FBB for bucket saving.
>>14489671
3CA 2CVL 1CV
>>14489671
MEGA ABKM + 5DD
>>14489686
You can rank with natural regen. Buckets are iffy.
If you did all your EO, how are you only at 1000? You'll need to go HARD down the stretch.
>>14489686
yeah sure
this is my first month in rank mode and i have 1688 points right now and my resource? the soft cap. taking turns in all SS and north route, with dupe SS. I make 30/55 points for reset
trying top 100 (81 at the moment)
>>14489710
Clearing all EO only give you 780 senka and it's my first time clearing all of it.
>>14489736
I got it. This time I have gone this far so no going back then.
That gold destroyer hit 44 on my katsuragi at 5-4. What?
>>14489736
Does that means you make 85 a day?
The poll is finished, it's pretty much the same results like previous polls with Ooyodo and Kashima gaining popularity. I cut the DD list short or else it would have been a huge image. If she's not listed, no one voted for her.
>>14489948
>the shiggy proxy spam actually worked
>>14489948
>if she's listed, no one voted for her
That's sad.
>>14489948
>Umi no snipa that low
shit taste
>>14489948
Maya-sama just barely wins.
How are you supposed to properly farm for buckets?
I've been running 2 sparkled ever since the event ended and excluding quests I've only received about 5 buckets, at most.
>>14489990
I've gotten 79 in the past 3 days. Git gud.
>>14489990
just spam 2 and make the dailys
>>14489990
Sparkling is useless for items. Just spam 2 and 4.
>>14489142
That doesn't change anything. She's lv 37 too.
>>14489990
Read the wiki.
I did it. Gonna wait until Christmas Eve to marry her though.
>>14489990
I got 145 since the event ended and couldn't play for whole one day.
>>14490082
Shit taste.
I HATE IT.
>>14490104
>obvios reply
What does this screen mean?
>>14490082
Nice. Fubuki is a good girl.
>>14490109
Your waifu has been defiled.
Scrap her and get a new one.
>Android Support in winter
Fucking WHEN in winter, though?
>>14490118
It's not even Winter yet.
>>14490118
Q1 2016
>>14490118
Winter 2018 if you're lucky. This thing's going to get more delays than the arcade game and the Vita game put together.
>>14490120
You live in the desert or something? December is most definitely winter.
>>14490162
Winter doesn't start until the 22nd.
Why don't desdiv6 celebrate Christmas??
>>14490196
Christmas having western ideals. Good comrade will not partaking in bourgeoisie excesses, but will working to increased Motherland industry.
>>14490158
Pls no, I really need to fill The void in mypart time joband maximize exped efficiency
>>14490196
They do. Don't you see the furniture?
>>14490162
Umm, no, it's Fall. Winter is Janurary - March. Don't tell me you live outside of Japan.
>>14490238
I hope you're using your salary to buy screws.
>>14490162
Do you live in the Arctic Circle or something, anon?
They should have a counter indicating how many ships you've sunk on your profile page.
>>14490248
Why do you figure?Ive yet to get all The slots. Up to 180 so far
>>14490272
Please no. I don't want to kill myself over how much of a kuso I've gotten to be.
>>14490272
Only level 10+ should count.
So far every winter event has added stuff pertaining to differing difficulties to events. What do you think this coming winter event's would be, if any?
I'd like gauge regen to return, for the hardest mode at least. In addition, different branching rules depending on difficulty, or even different maps, would be a good idea Tanaka can use to troll us with.
>>14490301
Boss damage sprite, not the debuff one.
>>14490162
>>14490167
>>14490246
Winter started like a month ago, guys.
>>14490384
No Winter anime has aired yet though.
>>14490384
If we follow your picture, we will get 5 months of summer.
>Daily PvP
>Lone Shigure level 140
>Send your DD waifu to 1vs1 that bitch
>Hankousen
>Shigure still explodes as soon as the battle starts
As expected of Shigure-kun!
>>14489990
Since the event ended I've gone from 3 buckets to 150 while barely playing.
Sparkling doesn't affect bucket drop rate.
Stop using buckets.
Do your dailies.
Run 2/4/10 for 2 buckets an hour if you don't care about resources.
Stop using buckets.
>>14490405
4chan is already like that.
Ayy catbomb right before 1-5 boss.
>>14490429
You should let her 1v1 Hotels.
>>14490562
1-5 is free the only thing you lost is 5 minutes of your time.
>180 crafts for Katori
>nothing
>this on the first run of 6-3
RNGesus works in mysterious ways.
>>14490574
I do. Unfortunately, lone hotels are quite rare. She got pretty good at thrashing Harunas, though.
>>14489990
You're either lying, or have run ex2 all of 10 times. It's a 50% drop rate for a bucket.
>>14490384
>3 whole months of less than -14
>snow not listed separately
It's like winter doesn't even exist where you live.
>>14489990
Use Mutsuki as flag for ex2. She brings home the buckets like crazy.
How do we fix AA guns /jp/?
>>14490384
>>14490771
>Having real winters
My shipgirls don't need any of those fancy winter clothing, they could use their swimsuits 9 months a year.
Prediction this month?
5- 6.5k
20- 4.5k
100- 2.8k
500- 2.1k
>>14490812
This shit is getting harder and harder.
>>14490812
not for Rabaul and Hitokappu, this two servers is full of neets
>>14490822
Next month nobody is getting the free points at the start.
>>14490812
Hashirajima is like half of that
>>14490868
Ooh. Does it mean it will be easier to rank?
>>14490881
Of course not.
>>14490887
Fuck.
>Unryuus for 5-4
>Kaga for 4-5 and 5-5
>Taihou and cranes for 4-5, 5-5 and 6-1
I guess there's no place to use my dragons or Akagi, eh.
>>14490868
Welp. Time to open up world 4, 5 and 6 instead of playing idlecolle.
>>14490902
I haven't used Kaga once after the cranes kai ni was released.
>>14490902
It is a matter of preference
>>14490902
>Kaga for 4-5 and 5-5
She's suboptimal in the current meta.
>>14490902
5-4 grind for egusa/tomoga and then for expedition
How come out of all the Agano sisters, it's only the ugliest one who likes you?
>>14490931
>it's only the ugliest one who likes you?
She's the only one who directly tells you that she likes you over and over again, not the only one who likes you.
Also, you're ugly.
>>14490920
>>14490927
I still use Kaga with an armoured CV for 4-5 and if I use 3 armoured CVs I can't get 420 fighter power with 6 blue planes in 5-5.
>>14490926
I've been trying to fit them somewhere but it isn't going well.
>>14490930
I already took that into account, when I said Unryuus I meant Unryuu with a Souryuu Kai I'm farming for Egusa. I don't need Hiryuu's Tomonaga.
Why farm for Egusa at all? Aren't dive bombers generally less useful than torpedo bombers?
>>14490960
For support fleet. They're better than suisei model 12A due to their +4 accuracy. Both have 10 dive bomb stat. Essentially, they're equivalent to a suisei model 12A + half a T32 surface radar, in a single piece of equipment.
>>14490960
Dive bombers have higher shelling power, also +4 accuracy for support expedition.
>>14490950
But my headcanon TTK self is handsome and charming.
>>14490960
Everyone has their dragons at 150 already, duh.
>>14490960
Egusa is the best plane for support expedition and the grind consuption for souryuu is low implying do you have all your CVs at 99
>>14490966
Wikiwiki changed the damage formula of dive bombers such that Suisei model 12A now does the same damage as Ryuusei Kai. The multiplier for dive bomb stat when calculating shelling damage is now x1.95, down from x2, while that for torp bomb stat remains at x1.5.
>>14489948
It would be interesting to see how this compares with the popularity in japan. I know there were a few pixiv studies done (with Kongou, Shimakaze, Tenryuu, Kaga, and Atago taking the top slots in their respective categories), but all the ones I saw were at least 9 months old and I haven't seen any that try to give a current popularity (They just look at total images, giving girls who've been around for a while a big advantage).
>>14490976
It's really sad that Suisei12A became literally useless for anyone who's been playing for more than few months.
>>14490976
>>14490997
Actually scratch that, the formula is dive bomb stat multiplied by x1.3 then truncated, then multiplied by x1.5. So in effect it's at most x1.95. Suisei Egusa only gets +27 instead of +27.3 or even +28.
Dive bombers sure have it hard. They need a buff.
>>14489948
How are there so many Shigurefags?
>>14491012
Some faggot was proxying away.
>>14489948
But I could have sworn me and some other guy voted for Hatsuharu. Am I just blind and can't find her name?
>>14491034
No she's definitely not on there
>>14491034
These are results for the second poll.
>>14491046
Just noticed it checking back to the last thread. I'm ashamed I missed it and couldn't show my support for her.
>>14491053
I couldnt vote for Ushio either. Still, the only list that matters is the one in my heart.
Fuck, I just learned the hard way that training cruisers don't count towards Bm4 composition requirements.
>>14491171
Ooyodo does the same job just as good and has more armor and health. Why would use them?
>>14491217
There is something different about her.
>>14491299
Looks like a skinwalker to me

>>14491322
>sinks iku
>>14491201
I wanted to level Kashima up a bit, Ooyodo's already in the 80's and Kashima did the ASW job pretty well.
What's the best way to do the 12x world 4 boss quest?
>>14491422
4-2, but this quest is cancerous and doesn't even give screws.
>>14491455
Yeah, I think I'll just skip this shit from now on.
>>14491422
Combine it with the 50 transport weekly and take 3CA 1BB 1CVL 1CV at 4-2.
>>14490272
Does it really matter? I've sunk a million trash DDs while sparkling.
>>14491497
It would be meaningful if it excluded ships below level 20 or something so that you can tell who's kuso.
>>14491511
>It would be meaningful if it excluded ships below level 20 or something so that you can tell who's kuso.
Anyone who sank any ship is a kuso, no exceptions.
>>14491497
Yes, it does. Scuttle yourself.
>>14491521
And your opinion matters why? I'm going to sink more trash DDs and there's nothing you can do about it.
>>14491521
Nah, it's just fodder that would have been scrapped or eaten as modernization anyway, it does not matter how she goes.
>>14491497
Sinking a ship should drop morale of every ship in the fleet to 0.
>>14491511
>20
50 is a better level
>>14491528
Modernization and scrapping doesn't kill them. Sinking does.
>>14491529
Why would you make the game even more tedious than it already is?
Does 4-1 have some sort of pathing requirement, I keep getting sent straight south
>>14490812
>500- 2.1k
I'll fucking kill myself if I spend all month on this shitty map and get absolutely nothing out of it.
>>14491562
Welcome to ranking, where you never know if it's worth it.
What if sinking a ship decreases your ranking points by 15?
Would that stop subs at 5-4 and stop "kuso" TTKs?
Why do I even bother with LSC
>>14491582
Non-rankers usually don't care about the points.
>>14491584
>>14491584
Completionism?
Sinking a ship should mean you are unable to ever get that same ship ever again.
>>14491584
>>14491599
This is perfect, I could just sink every crappy drop I get from event boss nodes and make farming much quicker. I just have to be careful not to sink my originals or anyone I'd want to farm such as KTKM or Souryuu, which I'd never do anyway.
>>14491599
>Sink a dupe
>Remove ship from drop pool
Farming just got a whole lot easier.
>>14491611
>>14491610
Kuso mind.
>>14491599
Hardcore mode: ships can sink at any moment.
>>14491622
Well considering bosses can OHKO your hotels, this is probably a bad idea.
>>14491627
Better rev up that LSC
>>14491622
Yeah it would be so much fun having your destroyer wife be killed by a lucky crit from some random Ri or the opening airstrike on 3-3.
>>14491622
I'd rather have a special boss that can sink your ships at orange.
She'll warn you of course.
You kusos ready for based sakurai to announce our waifus in smash?
>>14491627
Will she come back again? I missed her, AV Hime is just poor man's CV Hime.
>>14491645
Better idea - Battleship Prince. He can rape 1d3-1 shipgirls (50% chance of activation) on D ranks. It wouldn't kill her, but she'd be muted for 6 months.You could buy a Purification Kit for 1000 yen which would un-rape girld with "Raped!" status.
>>14491666
I'd love some kancolle games to play while I manage kancolle.
>>14491666

Yes, you need to b gud.
>>14491709
What could possibly be easier than not doing something you don't want to do and no one is forcing you to do?
>>14491582
The best way would be making you lose ship level * xxx resources. I think 100 would be fair number.inb4 cretins who say one should lose 10k for each level or something
>>14491699
>just stop
It's not that easy to abandon your harem.
>>14491738
As easy as closing the game and not opening it again. It takes one click, what the hell.
So will Kuntsumi K2 be good?
>>14491678
I would really like a VN, it can be about anything.
>>14491762
I hope not.
>>14491762
Unfortunately it's very likely.
I hope she has 40 luck or less.
>>14491762
I'm betting she will be slightly stronger than Hatsuharu or Bep.
>>14491762
Doesn't matter, I won't use her anyway and Kai will be enough for special branching.
So, which sub is going to be the first with a 3 slot kai ni?
>>14491783
umi no sunaipaa
>>14491783
Maybe if Shioi had 3 slots she would be less shit.
>>14491762
Fuck off kusoboner.
>>14491783
Maruyu obviously, she will carry a boat too.
>>14491783
Taigei 改二甲. Her offensive stats will be weak but she'll have >40 HP.
>>14491783
Why? They only have a limited number of equipment they can have.

Yet ANOTHER failed Taihou attempt. When will I be free from this hell guys?
>>14491941
Retard. Hachi and Ro are the only subs with voices that don't get irritating after few sorties.
>>14491965
When you buy bauxite.
>>14492025
>Ro
Are you kidding? She's extremely annoying.
>>14492025
>Ro
I can only hear that Bisumaruku-neesama ya Eugen-san a few times.
>>14492050
Not exactly.
Yes, her voice isn't as soothing as Hachi's, no sub comes close to her in this aspect but I wanted to mention more than one sub and Ro is better than the rest. Her voice is rather high pitched but adorableness barely makes up for it.

Whoever said her lines are good lied to me, I want the quiet version back.
Three of my last four drops have been RJ. Please advise.
>>14492089
Keep one in each form and marry all 3.
Yamato please come home
>>14491941
Hacchan cannot be worse at anything. The only bad one is Iku.
>>14492114
Iku hater, please go and stay go.
Maybe... maybe all the subs are cute???
>>14492182
Who's that blonde girl?
>iku, ?, shioi, yuu, goya, dechi, maruyu
No wonder I can clear the dailies with her alone.
>>14492208
>>14492208
>>14492210
That's cute as fuck.
>>14492210
You see, this is just not possible if she was Yuu.
>>14492182
all subs are shittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
maybe except yuu
>>14492313
But I'm not a sub anon. Maybe a dom.
Why didn't Z1 or Z3's art change for k2?
>>14492320

>>14492330
It costs money and we all know Kadokawa is too cheap to give more budget.
>>14492330

>Commander, are you used to my name? It's I-Mu-Ya, you know?
How can you hate her?
>>14492412
She is the Fubuki of the subs, mainly in the bland area.
>>14492412
Partly because of this line.
>>14492431
Nah. She's nice and looks good (both are unlike Fubuki) but some of her lines are annoying.

Imuya is the best kantai collectible. I dropped the hell out of this "game" and she and Iku are the only girls I still maintain folders for.
Is it possible to get GS in ex6 with three sparkles?
>>14492473
Why don't you read the wiki and actually understand what sparkling does to your great success rate so you never have to make a stupid shitpost question about it again?
>>14492412
kill it with fire
>>14492473
Why would you even do that when Imuya grinding 2-2 is better returns on bauxite.
>>14492480
Because in the past it wasn't clear and I don't check wiki all the time you fucking retard.
>>14492516
>spoonfeed me you fucking retard!
Hahahahaha
