Seriously, Kumano's new lines sound lewd as fuck
>>14641529
Kumano has a couple lewd lines, but this one reminds me of Hamakaze's
>>14641526

oy gevalt
>>14641543
Works for me.
>>14641543
So they are moving on from browser game or will the current browser version stay?
>>14641556
It'll stay, the vita game is almost completely different apart from the sprites.
What quest do I need to do to unlock the Kasumi quests?
All I see when I look at Kasumi now is a really pissed off Yuubari.
To the anon who said he's never seen Abyssal flagship protection, here it is. It's way too common if they are in diamond formation.
So is new Kasumi just mad op or what? She seems pretty ridiculous.
>>14641606
Anyone would be pissed off if they were demoted to destroyer.
Does anyone else stop at +7 instead of +6 when doing spread out upgrades?
>>14641614
OP? No, she's good though.
>>14641614
Just about as mad OP as Shimakaze. Decent stats but no real role, well at least apart from gimmicky combined transport fleet maps
I hate Kasumi's luck. Too high to ignore, too low to be useful. And it's not like she's the only one on the mole list.
when to stop doing LSC and start stockpiling?
>>14641628
Skilled lookouts
>>14641617
I stop at 9 for offensive equipment, 4 for surface radars, max for anything focused on AA.
>>14641631
10 days before next maintenance
>>14641573
How about the andriod/ios app version? IS it connected to the current one?
>>14641617
You're forgetting about double attack and AP cut-in modifiers. There's also combined fleet with its *1.1. Shit really varies.
>>14641628
I'm going to just keep using beaver / shiggy / ayanami for CI. 3 is a lot and I don't like Kasumi enough to give her moles.
>>14641633
Not a solution. 5% increase to chance is like 6-7 luck. not enough to be reliable and you could use that slot for different eq.
>>14641642
Most likely it will.
>iOS
Nope. Only Android.
>>14641642
Yes, they mentioned something about syncing your account, I'm assuming with the DMM app. It is only for Android.
>>14641649
>>14641650
I should get a good phone quick.
>>14641615
Becoming a DD would be a promotion for her.
Pixiv putting all the nice function behind a paywall. Just kill me now.
>>14641631
Whenever you feel like panicking.
>>14641631
I stopped my Maruyu LSC when they announced the event. I wasn't getting anything useful anyway.
>>14641680
How can I stop when I just need one more?
>>14641701
Hope 3-5 or 4-5 delivers.
>>14641631
Stop doing LSC unless you have 300k of all resources.
>>14641723
But Yamato still hasn't come home yet.
>>14641764
I have neither Yamato nor Musashi too. Next event is more important though.
>>14641701
Ugh, I know that feel.
>>14641578
I don't know. They aren't appearing for me. What wizardry is this?
>>14641578
>>14641871
PvP Daily 1
>>14641573
It's just a VN with a bit of turn-based gameplay, right? The trailer shows nothing but sliding sprites.
I still need more coinsink.
>>14641906
Better have too many than too few.
>>14641906
>234 screws
You don't like flashy toys for your girls, do you?
>>14641930
On upgrade a day with the quest for maximum screw hoarding.
Modernizing Kasumi is too hard, she's constantly on expedition and the moment she comes back I instinctively send her out again.
>>14641936
You don't upgrade any good eq past +6, do you?
>>14641936
Even with 1 single upgrade per day, you don't hoard so many screws unless you deliberately ignore big calibers, especially past +6 like >>14641948 stated.
>>14641948
Most of my upgrading has gone into conversion rather than stars. FDs into duckguns, pasta and krautguns into kai, and few 35.6 into protos, quads into quints. BB guns will get their time eventually.
I don't feel like my battleships have a problem with making things die so I'm fine with it happening in due time.
>>14642031
Do you have your Akizuki guns at +9 though?
Upgrading 35.6cm to proto makes no sense, they become weaker and less accurate.
Why the hell does slot number not matter for seaplanes? They could have at least made it so LoS scales with the number of slots, but instead it's just a flat increase.
>>14642051
But regular 35.6 are drab and grey. Protos are sleek and shiny and have two (!) fairies.
And do I look like I'm made out of 10 cms or something? I have a lot of destroyers to equip, you know.
>>14642110
>he doesn't grind multiple DDs to level 20 at 5-1
>>14642110
Are you one of those shitty admirals who leaves his poor girls equipped at all times?
>>14642110
That's why the late model gun exists.
E rank in pvp when?
>>14642133
You were close to the A S S anon.
>>14642118
The only thing I ca be bothered to grind are KitaOoi to 10 for their quads. Anything else is too much of a hassle.
>>14642121
Maybe.
>>14642140
You could spell SCABS

>>14642198

>>14642198
You could also not do that and let people have their fun.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8m9opmBSPA
Wow.
>>14642390
What a slut. Who did this and why?
I will get another chance for Eugen/Akizuki in the coming event right guys?
>>14642487
No.
>>14642487
Yes.
>>14642487
Maybe.
>>14642487

>>14642198
I'm that Enterprise guy. Already change to Nazi harem now, sorry.
does shoukaku heal when you change twice?
is it a popular strategy?
sorry i'm not hip with the times
>>14642671
Yes, Shoukaku heals your dick after she changes her partner every week.
>>14642671
For the low cost of 10k steel and losing all modernization, yeah.
>>14642671
Yes ships repair when remodelled.
>is it a popular strategy?
Look at the remodel cost and use your brain.
>>14642671
Yeah she does and only at 50x the normal cost, too.
who should I level before the event?
I have three blueprints.
>>14642755
The first 3.
>>14642755
Your starter.
>>14642762
That makes no sense.
>>14642755
>1367x716
>>14642755
Your starter plus the first three
>>14642755
The last 3.
>>14642755
Ise and Hyuga.
first try wish me luck
>>14642830
Post fleet and gear, also good luck.
>>14642830
You're gonna love E node.
>>14642755
ABKM, any Fusou, and a wildcard. Probably one of the cranes.
>>14642852
Zuikaku is better than Shoukaku.
>>14642852
>upgrading a crane before the best yasen FBB for combined fleet
>>14642889
You wont need Bismarck in the event and an armored carrier has more value overall.
>>14642895
Do you really think he'll be able to get a crane all the way up to level 88/90 before the event?
>>14642884
Zuikaku is the better Kai2A, Shoukaku is the better Kai2. Depends on what you need.
>>14642889
The utility of the cranes K2 far outweights the utility of Bismarck.
>>14642849
kaga got taiha'd at E node
>>14642848
i have no idea how to play this game if you can't tell
>>14642902
If he has 5-4 unlocked, definitely. 3-2 A is old and busted but way more reliable and can ignore morale.
>>14642905
>Reppuu mule
what are you doing
>>14642916
>If he has 5-4 unlocked, definitely
Look at his levels and fleet name. Now tell me he has 5-4 unlocked.
>>14642918
I'm more surprised at the lack of 52A/C.
>>14642919
He claims to have 3 blueprints, so maybe. Also, I didn't change my fleet name until way later, I don't know what that has to do with anything.
>>14642919
I've unlocked 6-3 and I still haven't changed my fleet name (only fleet 3, by accident)
>>14642935
>>14642941
You two disgust me.
>>14642946
show us your fleet name
>>14642918
sorry man i am new at this game
>>14642973
You've been playing since summer at the very least. Should know better.
>>14642973
I'll bite.
With the aircraft proficiency system Reppuu mules are obsolete, as you want every carrier to be able to shell for overcrits before they're disabled. Move the Muratas and Tomonaga to the higher slots, move the Egusa to a higher slot as there's no reason for the Type 2 Recon to be taking up Zuikaku's 12-slot.
Radars are fine for 5-4, but you might want AP Shells instead.
>>14642987
My bad, meant 5-5, not 5-4.
>>14642905
Use AP shells instead of radars on BB. Re-arrange your planes so that every carrier at least has a bomber on first slot.
Ditch the type 2 recon. Saiun and obs planes all give contact. You'd be better served by another fighter or bomber.
>>14642973
Run 1BB 5CV or 3BB 2CV 1CVL.
>>14642905
It's always the Bongofags.
>>14642919
Hm?
>>14643018
I don't think you realize this but you changed the fleet name.
>>14643021
That's actually not the same guy.
I know because I am the poster you were writing about originally.
Not sure why he replied to you.
I still have finished world 5 though.
>>14643021
Oh. I remember deciding once to change the fleet name to current one but noticed it already was that. I guess that means I already changed the name even earlier and don't remember anymore? Thanks, I though torpedo squadron is default for main fleet.
>>14643032
I never said you were. I'm telling him he's blind because his fleet says First Torpedo Squadron and not First Fleet.
>>14643032
>Not sure why he replied to you.
Because I didn't agree with his implication, duh.
Realize what this site is and that people are free to join the discussion. If you want private counseling, go elsewhere.
Is this any better? FP is 435~457
>inb4 still fucking retarded
>>14643053
Put blues on the highest slot, you faglord.
>>14643005

>>14642198
holding off first ring formarrying two ships together
So do we know how much Isuzu's AACI was buffed by?
>>14642487
Admiral Hipper and Hatsuzuki will be cuter anyways
>>14643053
Only second number means anything. That means you have too much AS.
Cranes don't need so many bombers, they already have high firepower.
>>14643053
Wait.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?
Modernize them before even daring to think about sortieing.
>>14643105
It's obviously gonna be Fuyutsuki.
>>14643125
What's the point of giving the first number then?
>>14643136
Think a bit.
>>14643096
According to wikiait shares the same api number as Kasumi kai ni b, but there are no tests yet? so I guess we need to wait.
>>14643096
No, I think.
Taihou misaki when
Kap Zeppelin when
What kind of garbage are they going to give for ranking rewards? I'm hoping it's relevant to the event like it was before Fall, that was pretty neat.
>>14643197
Taihou (Wedding Dress Ver.) when?
>>14643197
Never, enjoy the potatocolle.
>>14643225
likely more catapults
>>14643225
A wedding ring package.
So, kasumi unique AACI API is pretty bad?
>>14643333
And the source of that is?
>>14643333
Anything but Akizuki-class has bad AACI no matter how you slice it. You will need firepower when it comes to events, and I'm guessing we're going to face DD Water Oni again.
what are the relevant DDs again for Rei-Go beside Kasumi?
>>14643367
Fubuki
>>14643367
Senkan and Yankeegumo.
>>14643367
Asashimo and Kiyoshimo
>>14643367
Definitely not Shigure
>>14643367
Ashigara
Ooyodo
Kasumi
Kiyoshimo
Asashimo
>>14643374
Shitbuki a shit, stay in the scrapyard.
>>14643354
So considering I have Maya and Duckys, should I just run Kasumi in her base Kai Ni?
>>14643389
Yeah, feed her some Maruyus too.
>>14643385
Ssh, you're going to wake up Fubukifags here.
>>14643396
Nobody actually sleeps, we're just empty shells.
>>14643389
Pretty much. It's not like you're going to sortie 5 Rei-go ships only, the 6th wild card of your fleet would likely to be Tone or a CV for AS just like the 2-5 quest.
>>14643409
>no Asashimo
I should run 4-5 before the event then. All of my other Rei-go ships are at decent levels.
>>14643416
>Farming for a less than 1% drop
You'd probably be better off just taking the worse routing on whatever map that requires all of them.
>>14643428
Well, I haven't even remembered to do the 4-5 monthly until today, so might as well.
>>14642133
Send a bunch of taiha ships to PvP.
>>14642198
Don't forget reppu guy.
The DDs seem to be hesitant to bully Sendai in their setsubun lines
>>14642110
Nigga I completely phased out my 10cms in favour of 12.7 LMs and Akizuki guns.
>>14643464
I wouldn't be surprised if repu and small c were the same person.
>>14642696
Don't forget 15 devmats each time. Twice means 30.
>>14643374
She sank years before Rei-go.
>>14643385
>Ashigara
>Ooyodo
>DD
>Shitbuki a shit
No
What levels should I get Kiyoshimo and Asahimo up to? Currently bringing them only on pvp and thinking it's not worth grinding them at 4-3.
>>14643515
Ushio just can't catch a break.
>>14643515
I see 2 buckys.
>>14643516
Kai level.
>>14643516
80-90 is the perfect area, but 50 can be good too. We don't know if they will have bigger LoS checks, they have been suspiciously low for a while.
>>14643531
I want AL/MI to come back where your plane loadout was half Reppuu and half Saiun. Maybe a fighter/bomber here and there.
>>14643547
>Above-requirement LoS
>Still can be diverted with compass trolling
>HQ above 100? Too bad, here's 2 BB Hime
Fuck AL/MI.
I accidentally gave Unryuu a jelly donut and now I won't have all the rewards from events.
>>14643609
>jelly donut
It's fucking nothing.
>>14643547
Why not do away with artillery spotting while you're at it?
Does Tanaka exist purely to troll people?
>>14643644
They had to make space for Samidare Kai 2.
>>14643644
K2B?
>>14643644
It's going to be hilarious when the spot next to Zepp turns out to be for another girl.
>>14643644
Kashima kai2 never.
>>14643645
That's most likely for the Mutsuki K2.
If you switch level 100+ cranes between K2 and K2A do their stats stay maxed out?
>>14643766
Modernization is reset I believe
Which of these is the easiest to do?
Which ones will make me want to kill myself?
>>14643780
I've always been under the impression that stats increase linearly until they cap at 99. When I remodeled my 97 turkey she only needed like 2 points in each stat.
>>14643783
Personally Souryuu quest > Mikawa 5-1 >2nd Squadron > Nishimura fleet.
Has anyone actually done the Souryuu quest with the marriage quest together?
>>14643645
Stop playing with my feelings.
>>14643783
Mikawa is the worst of those. Souryuu is frustrating but you won't get sent back much.
Of course, you can use support for Mikawa which makes it much easier.
>>14643783
From easiest to hardest
2nd Squadron > Souryuu quest > Nishimura
Haven't done Mikawa yet.
>>14643852
Was going to marry Souryuu but her wedding line was so cheaped out.

Help. Post a kasumi levelling comp. I'm too tired to think
>>14643993
Don't level when tired. You're going to sink something.
I'll just slap in a wikia guide because I'm lazy:
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Shinhwalee/World_4-3_Power_Level_Guide_for_DD_%26_CL
>>14643993
Secondary cut-in on BB, one gun and T3 sonar on CLT, one=two guns and one-two T3 sonars on CL depending on health.
Dive bomber on CV.
CA can have double attack no problem.
>>14643993
load her with drums and take 4CV(L) and a CAV to do your 5-4 ranking
>>14643993
BB w/ red/yellow/ap
1 CLT with midget/red/Type 3
1 CL with double red/Type 3
1 CA with DA setup
1CV with one dive bomber (put it below the top slot, which has double crit bonus for chevrons)
If you slap a few screws on your flag's ASW setup they'll get crazy crits and never miss MVP.
>>14643993
Kasumi with full ASW
Give everyone else lousy weapons and asw.
>>14644024
Which map is this?
>>14644028
4-3
>>14643993
Spam 5-1 with a full ASW fleet. You get A rank (1080exp FS+MVP) 90% of the time even if everyone else is fatigued to red.
Anyone from Shortland here? Just got a somewhat once in a lifetime cat.
Do you /jp/ guys use level 1 ships from daily sorties/construction in your expeditions? eg ex.21 --->24 just add a level 1 ship for overnight, and then you can scrap/mod it the next day
>>14644094
Why not use ships you have? They're just collecting dust most of the time, might as well passively level them.
>>14644094
Why would anyone do that?
>>14644097
Resupply cost, I'm guessing.
>>14644097
to save resources?
>>14644094
Too much trouble.
>>14644094
For 2-2 doing world 2 daily. Too lazy to repair olel damage.
>>14644100
Or I could sortie any of the other non-ducky/non-german/non-speedslut/non-verniy 30 odd DDs i have lying around, and spend maybe 10 fuel and 15 ammo
Tough choice anon, tough choice.
NE 17 times in a row in 2-3, only a single run sent to transports. I just want to fucking sleep compass.
Is leverling Isuzu still worth it?
We already have Maya, Akitsuki class and a bunch of CVs for achieving AS+ so why do some people say we need her?
>>14644107
Isuzu is basically useless
you get a shitty radar at lvl 12 (if you are new to the game you might want it, but in the long run it is more useless than useless)
you also get a type 3 dc at level 50, but it's not worth the effort to level her since you will literally never find an opportunity to sortie her
>>14644107
Purely for the sake of filling the Kantaidex. She's like craut DDs, except craut DDs are prettier.
>>14644111
Hmm, you might be right. Isuzu is my first CL that got to Kai Ni, so I am kinda fond of her. But then I realised that I seldom use her in events. Usually I'll just use her in E1 or E2 only.
>>14644107
For the isuzus and Depth Charge.
>>14644107
For AA fodder if you aren't running maps that throw up CVs.
>>14642031
Most equipments perform considerably better at +9 than freshly converted to another.
who's gonna use Kasumi's 4 planes AACI?
>>14644107
How the hell do Isuzu, Maya and Akizuki Class help achieve AS+?
>>14644157
shoot down enemy planes
your total planes required is lower
>>14644155
Me. I'm levelling my second one now.
>>14644159
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how AS works. AACI does not shoot down green planes.
>>14644159
You moron. Shooting down planes do no affect air superiority.
Even if Akizuki manages to shoot down every enemy planes, it won't make AS or AS+ any eaiser.
>>14644160
Are you me? Levelling Kasumi number 2 as we speak.
>>14642051
>Upgrading 35.6cm to proto makes no sense, they become weaker and less accurate.
35.6 +9 = 18FP
35.6triple = 18 FP, +2 Acc, potential for improvement in the future
Anon??
>>14644172
9 stars is +4 damage you dumbfuck. 9 stars also adds accuracy that far surpasses that measly +2.
Dumfuck??
>>14644184
It's actually 4.5 which matters in practice when you have two reds that add up to +9. Double 35.6 is +39 FP while double proto is +36.
>>14644193
Yeah which makes him look even dumber.
If Isuzu and Kasumi's new special AACI only shoots down 4 planes then what makes them different from literally every other ship that can equip 2x 10cmHA+FD and an Air radar which also shoots down 4 planes?
>>14644199
It's for newfags that don't have ducky guns.
>>14644172
35.6cm becomes outright better than proto already at +4 because they're tied in firepower while 35.6cm +4 gives more accuracy.
>>14644193
>It's actually 4.5 which matters in practice when you have two reds that add up to +9.
Also in case of modifiers.
>>14644203
So literally no reason ever to convert her to K2B?
>>14644209
You might be forced to run Rei-go fleet. In such case K2B would be good choice so that you can bring Tone as sixth ship. You should use Akizuki guns on Kasumi anyway, just with FuMO instead of T13K.
>>14644199
>If Isuzu and Kasumi's new special AACI only shoots down 4 planes
Are you theorizing and know that for a fact?
>>14644217
How does Kasumi being in B form affect Tone's involvement? Kasumi can AACI just as well in regular form except with way better firepower. Sure fleet AA will suffer a bit but I'd have rather firepower over that.
>>14644217
You can just put AA cut-in on the 2 other Rei-Go DDs.

It's on the wikiwiki.

>>14644227
Because she's significantly better at AA in K2B thanks to more AA and FuMO?
>>14644231
Kasumi's is more effective. But yeah, you can use Akizuki setup on all of them for ~90% AACI rate.
>>14644233
Thanks.

Pffft.
>>14644237
I still see no reason to sacrifice all that delicious power for a some AA. AA is probably the most unreliable stat in the game. There are so many random variables involved that you shouldn't even be arsed.
>>14644245
And shelling doesn't have variables? Or you think Kasumi K2B is going to ruin your night battles against the historic airfield boss?
I took a long break from the game.
I barely remember my streamlined process to do dailies, the resources quests, formulas and all that.
Has there been significant changes since july/august?
>>14644280
Cranes became OP.
You will have fun with new kind of map in next event.
That's it, I think.
>>14644280
Yes.
>>14644275
Look. What I'm saying is that choosing K2B over K2 is like choosing a AA gun over an AP shell for BBs (if we ignore the fact that AP shells also activate artillery spotting) It's completely illogical.
>>14644280
You missed out on Kashima
Thats it.
>>14644286
No, it isn't the same in the slightest.
K2B with FuMO offers much bigger increase to AA than some shitty aa gun. At the same time, Kasumi only loses 4 fp (but gains back 3 from FuMO) and 9 torpedo. It's very likely we'll have to use her vs land base who ignores torpedo stat.
Also, artillery spotting is 95% of AP Shell's power and usefulness.
>>14644280
Depends on when you quit, but yes. I started over a few months ago and it's been a totally new experience.
>>14644280
You missed out on Arashi and Hagekaze
>>14644297
So he missed out on Hagikaze only.
>>14644300
Yeah only Hagekaze
>>14644300
>>14644302
What is this meme?
>>14644302
She has very pretty hair, even if weird color. I believe they're natural.
>>14644280
You missed Graf Zeppelin and German Reppu. A CV that can attack at night, but even with best gear weaker than Mutsuki
>>14644280
You missed out on Teruzuki and 2 memedals.
