Whose dick do I have to suck to get this trash out of the crafting pool?
Fuck your butchered OP.
>>14732400
Try sucking yourself.
>>14732400
I've only gotten one, and it completely surprised me because until then I had forgotten it was even a thing.
Can I take a pre-event break from sparkling fleets yet?
>>14732400
What's it used for?

You're screwed with this buckets.

Wouldn't it be easier to just wait for one of the ships it's default equipment on to drop?

Anyways, yes.

They drop often enough during events.
Hey anons, I was wondering something.
What is there to like about Kantai Collection? Cute girls?
>>14732521
Gameplay.
>>14732521
Cute anime girls and numbers going up. Two of my favorite things.
What do I do with a third catapult? I don't wanna level another Zuikaku/Shoukaku just because of muh planes but I might do so if there's no other use except for these two.
>>14732521
Mecha musume and collecting.
>>14732533
You keep it and wait until there's another catapult remodel.
>>14732533
Wait till Taihou Kai Ni.
>>14732525
>>14732530
I was gonna ask what was the difference from the hundred other web games/mobage, but I think I got it with >>14732534's reply.
Thanks.
>>14732521
Boat girls, and using your imagination.
>>14732553
Prettier art, better thought out system, no gatcha bullshit.
>>14732553
You don't have to spend a ton of money on it, but you end up doing it anyways.
>>14732553
>was the difference from the hundred other web games/mobage
Mind Canthis is the crappy, otaku pandering, browser game with more gameplay and less p2w.
>>14732562
>Prettier art
Depends on who draws the girl.
>>14732574
Even Shibafu is better than most of games where characters don't fit rest of the game like Monmusu.
>>14732569
Whats that next to Pazudora?
>>14732574
The amount of variety in art styles and design outlooks is refreshing, so I don't mind who draws who.
>>14732588
Road to Dragons
>>14732569
>F2W
This is the first time I've heard this term.
The fact it's taken so long concerns me.
>>14732614
I don't think Kancolle is the first to be F2W, there probably were others before it that tanked hard because it's not a viable way to earn income. The popularity is pretty much keeping the game alive.
>>14732635
I meant more that I had never heard the term until now, less that kancolle is the first F2W game I'd seen. But good job reading my mind since I didn't actually mention the game in my post, I can't think of a browser game like this I've played before that wasn't legit P2W.

This is so likely to be true it already hurts.

>>14732933
Did people kill each other over it? That's bullshit, she's booming with popularity and they pull this stunt?
>>14732574
They've got a wide variety of artists, and somehow manage to make them work well together. They all feel consistent and aren't jarring, but aren't repetitive and have something for everyone.
They put a lot of thought into the concepts, too, mixing in historical references and giving them enough personality hints for doujins to run with. That level of effort might be taken for granted in other media, but it's exceptional among browser games where shovelware dominates the market, so KanColle looks better by comparison.
>>14732635
The point is "F2W" was just "normal" until mobile games came along. Shareware was just F2P games that didn't rely on corporate investment to get made.
>>14732967
Works if you live somewhere fairly rural. Buy all 12 and sell them on the net to otaku.
>>14732967
Do you even know how much one of those things cost?

I'm trying to do world 3 bosses not farm furniture coins stupid fairies
>>14733024
No, you want furniture coins after spending 265k.
>>14733029
I was finally feeling comfortable with my stock of 100k coins with nothing I wanted to buy.
Then they introduced those new stained glass items and I cried myself to sleep.
>>14733043
Use your furniture fairies.
>>14733055
No way, counting the one from E-1 I'll only have two, I'm saving them for valentines stuff.
>>14733043
I learned that coin cap was 200k hard way. Only managed to buy second one today.
>>14733055
Spoken like a scrub.

>Hatsuzuki (初月)
>noun 1. first lunar month
The lunar year starts February 8, 2016. You should've seen this coming.
Commissioned in December, 1942.
>In October 1944 Hatsuzuki was part of the Northern Force commanded by Admiral Ozawa Jisaburo, in the Japanese attack on the Allied forces supporting the invasion of Leyte. On 25 October, in the Battle off Cape Engaño, she was sunk by US cruiser-destroyer group, while covering the rescue of survivors of the aircraft carriers Zuikaku and Zuihō by Wakatsuki and Kuwa.
So what is Hatsuzuki going to look like?

I can't believe it's 2016, in my mind it's still 2013 the Midway event is a meme that will never happen
>>14733152
Midway is months away.
>>14733158
Midway was years ago.
>>14733118
Maybe the brown-haired fairy.
>>14733152
50k is enough
>>14733165
Isn't that Akizuki though?
>>14733168
But 50k always is enough for clearing.
>>14733172
Just play along and repeat some oldfag quotes
>>14733171
Akizuki has black hair.
>>14733133
Serves you right for trusting a CV to do a BBs job.
>Ru
It's not E2 anymore.
>>14733172
50k is enough
300 buckets are enough

accuracy is placebo

It's the same hairstyle though, almost exactly. Also, fairies hair color doesn't always match their shipgirl counterpart.

More importantly, what Yuugumo and foreigner do you hope for and how do you think they would look like?
>>14733229
Type 91 fairies?
Maybe if AA-related fairies are from Akiduki-class And may not since T91 isn't related to Akiduki class.
I want a pet fairy.
>>14733223
>>14733229
Anime about the fairies when?
>>14733246
After flatgumo and Libeccio, I really don't know what to expect anymore.
>>14733246
Warspite. Ditzy silver haired lady. Keeps getting lost because steering problems.
>>14733254
Gumo with sexhair.

>>14733313
We don't get the OP evasion like Abyss do, so it would be a terrible idea until they revamp evasion.
Why do people equip main gun x2 + recon plane x2?
Why not equip main gun x2 + recon + radar? Gives you better stats and you still get artillery spotting and the recon buff. What is the purpose of the second recon plane?
>>14733536
>Why do people equip main gun x2 + recon plane x2?
Nobody does that.
>>14733536
Maybe for double night recon.
>>14733536
No Radar
Need LOS
Contact Stacking
>>14733536
2 recon gives more chance to do artillery spotting than 1 recon 1 radar, especially with chevrons.
world 3-3 boss node is a lie
>>14733546
I do it when I'm doing 2-5 sometimes.
>>14733564
That's awfully wrong. T22 is better than Shiun.
>>14733568
Ha ha
No
>>14733575
bongo a shit
>>14733564
>2 recon gives more chance to do artillery spotting than 1 recon 1 radar
What really? How much increase?
>>14733564
You have it backwards.
>>14733574
>>14733583
Is it not based on LOS?
>>14733584
Just because LoS is important for the formula doesn't mean it's the only thing mattering or that formula is linear.
>>14733536
The purpose is to get enough LoS to get to the boss node when a radar isn't enough obviously.
>>14733584
Yes and no. Total fleet LoS contributes to the overall Artillery Spotting chance of the fleet, but equipping surface radars on ships will increase their DA chance much more significantly than simply stacking whatever LoS equips you can get. Radars > Recons, always.
Hey kids
>>14733608
Goya thread's that way lad >>>/a/137203478
>>14733592
>>14733599
Is the LOS of the radar being used a significant factor then?
>>14733612
But that's the turbobutch thread
>>14733614
Radar is a special type of eq that increases artillery spotting chance more than any other eq. LoS of the radar does matter.
>>14733614
What matters is the type of the surface radar in question, since merely equipping it will provide an additional bonus to the ship's Artillery Spotting rate. T32 radars are the best you can get in that regard (biggest rate boost).
>>14733599
Not to mention total fleet LoS doesn't even give seaplanes the 2x bonus.
>>14733719
Holy shit, Akitsushima has her own trademark line like Yuudachi?
I need to get her from this event.
Are you ready for farming hell?
>>14733719
Terrible mic handling, would not hire.
>>14733763
Is there any historical reason for why she's so obsessed with checking the microphone?
>>14733749
It isn't even hers kamo desu.
>>14733749
She's marvelous.
>>14733754
I have 1.5x more resources than I've ever had before, as long as it isn't some insufferable bullshit like it was with puddi last time I should be okay. I hope.
>>14733776
Fuck off Takanami nobody cares about you.
>>14733782
Stop, I'll kill myself if I don't get her now.
Is it immoral to buy extra rings? I love kuma the most but I also want to marry libeccio.
>>14733791
Police called.
>>14733791
Ask your shipfu if they're okay with it
>>14733782
She's so boring without Taitei-chan
I wish Taitei-chan were in this picture
>>14733788
She has a wonderful and caring big sister.
>>14733791
If you love them both, then marry both of them.
I prefer to stick to my one shipfu though.
>>14733767
There is lots of things we don't know. Why does Kirishima love microphones? Why does Kazagumo have a tie? Why are Ayaki ships futuristic looking? Do glasses really equal power? How does Rensouhou-chan take a shit?
>>14733809
>>14733791
I'm sure nothing bad could possibly happen
>>14733830
Now we're talking. Taitei-chan's so cute.
I have this super itchin' feeling where I want to LSC something.
I'm going to do it with lowest resources and not score a Maruyu, just you watch.
>>14733850
Well, I guess that's why you're not meant to do these around this time.
There are people without Kamo and 3 Taitei-chan, how can they live like that?
>>14733858
It's a sad way to be.
>>14733858
What's the point of owning 3 of those things if only one ship can equip them?
>>14733868
Because she has 3 slots so she can be decked out with Taitei-chan, are you retarded?
>>14733868
>>14733868
future proofing
>>14733868
She has three holes, anon.
>>14733876
Where's the third?
>>14733885
Taking the picture.
>>14733878
you lost me
I have a dream that one day Taitei-chan will be useful.
>>14733878
Well technically, 8. 10 if you're hardcore enough.
>>14733897
That's a lot of Taitei-chan, I don't know if her body can handle that.
>>14733874
>>14733878
>>14733877
Yeah I'd love to see a scenario where an AV loaded with 3 flying boats is viable.
>>14733885
Event reward. Akitsushima nets you the other two from her stock equipment.
>>14733910
No, she only has one as stock equipment.
>>14733910
He meant where was the third one in that picture. Also two were rewards, she only gets one at Kai.
I bet she can only carry one at a time irl.
>>14733964
Yes, but who the fuck cares about that?
Hagikaze is cute!
Ｃ Ｕ Ｔ Ｅ ！
>>14734022
Arashi is cuter.
>>14734022
Hey, I might masturbate to that doujin tonight. Thanks!
>>14733928
The thing is so cool, yet so useless stuck on a useless ship. Just image Hyuuga being able to use it.
>>14734058
It was actually a really great sub-hunter (at least in one of its iterations), better than its stats in the game would suggest. I still keep hoping that eventually we'll get upgraded Taitei-chan at some point, but I do get the impression that Akitsushima was only ever meant to be a trophy ship.
>>14734022
>>14734046
DesDiv4 is cute.
>>14734022
The doujin gave me mixed feelings. It felt as if Arashi was jealous somehow.
>>14734022
Huggykaze is cute.
>>14733910
We just need a nice map where you can only bring DDs and AVs and the LOS requirement is insanely high.
They really need to add Taitei-chan kai ni upgrades to reflect her amazing real life stats.
>>14734058
It would be like using a radar with a lot of LoS and +1 accuracy on her. Doesn't sound very useful if the only time LoS can be a problem is the quest that doesn't allow BBV.
Escort Carriers when?
>>14734123
Aren't CVLs basically escort carriers?
>>14734123
Hosho is enough.
>>14734114
All that payload capacity yet it doesn't do any bomb damage, nor has any AA stats.
>>14734092
Is Nowacchi secretly gay?
>>14734129
>The light carrier (hull classification symbol CVL) was a similar concept to escort carriers in most respects, but were capable of higher speeds to allow operation alongside fleet carriers.
>Most often built on a commercial ship hull, escort carriers were too slow to keep up with the main forces
Taiyo, one of four ocean liners converted into CVE escort carriers: 18,116 tons standard, 591 feet long, with 23 aircraft and 4 spares. Installed power: 25,200 shp from 4 water tube boilers. Speed: 21 knots. Range: 6,500 to 8,500 nmi.
Ryujo, a true CVL: 8,000 tons standard, 590 feet long, with 48 aircraft. Installed power: 65,000 shp from 12 water tube boilers. Speed: 29 knots. Range: 10,000 nmi.
As you can see, Taiyo can't compare to RJ's slim, thin figure. With all that useless fat, she can only find room for half as many planes. Of course, sailors might have something to say for the luxurious hull of a former ocean liner, but who cares about curves when there's a war to fight?
>>14734187
>secretly
>>14734187
It's not a secret.
>>14734187
>>14734220

Nowaki gives me a raging boner, she's beautiful. Maikaze ruins it with her autism.

Maybe that part-time job was a bad idea after all. She should just sit around the base until she's need or something.
What does your final stockpile look like?
>>14734357
She just wants to make some money and buy a ring.

>>14734364
Hoping I can get all the ships I want by just sitting through kuso mode
>>14734364
Still have time to build a little more, but I fully expect Tanaka to rape my face since I only have yodo, Ise and Hyuuga. Still, Akizuki class being reward is a godsend.
>>14734374
>>14734382
that's way too many resources for so few bucketes
you both done goofed
>>14734370
A ring? What sort of ring? Is Kashima getting into plubming?
>>14734382
Where is Ashigara? How do you not have her?
>>14734390
I still believe I can brute force a mememetal with this many buckets. Its only 3 maps, how hard can it be.
>>14734394
I didn't really have much reason to use her since I have plenty of CA and not too many slots. Didn't give a shit about the quest either.
>>14734364
I'm expecting a bucket-intensive event so I've been running 2 and 4. The fuel is suffering, but that should be enough for farming Mizuho. There's no room for ridiculous resource sinks like Summer E6.
>>14734364
Practically nothing much else I can do, might as well call it "final".
>>14734402
In that case, you have too many DDs or CLs.
Will there be ship locking with only 3 maps?
>>14734420
Class locking. If you bring a ship class into one map the rest of the class is locked. Good luck TTKs.
>>14734420
It's safe to assume the extra operation will have its own lockout.
>>14734419
Probably, I've been trying to weed it down. I have a bunch of subs aren't really needed.
>>14734420
It's practically here to stay ever since the difficulty thing.
Who do I pray for, for good compass routing?
>>14734364
Nothing much else I can do except higher levels
>>14734455
You could get a Kasumi.
>>14734420
Which god should I pray to for good RNG? I'm still mad about Graf last event.
>>14734420
You can't get access to any map if you don't have full Rei-go fleet, but you can farm them in 4-5 with triple drop rate.
>Three (3) maps
You're all too paranoid

>All these resources and buckets.
>>14734364
I hate Idlecolle so much. I want to rank, farm and level ships so bad.
>>14734364
Not final at all, but close.
>>14734490
Get Kancolle Kai when it comes out. :^)
>>14734364
I'll probably break 170k fuel if the first map is as easy as Fall's E1.
Rare
I love that "yes yes~" of hers way too much
>>14734364
hard mode should be easy
>>14734468
Why didn't you stockpile more for this event if it made you so mad?
>>14734557
maybe switch up your scripts a little there famdoodly.

>6 devmats
>>14734564
Looks pretty normal for trying to craft Bisko or something similar

im running 2/5/6 or 2/38/37
what are your suggestions, mr /jp/ veteran expert?
>>14734582
>2/38/37
Houshou's cute and I love her
>>14734596
I fapped to her a few weeks ago. She's really cute.
>>14734582
Sparkled 2/5 with daihatsu and another of your choosing.
>>14734596
Best carrier to mother those plane levels.

>Sparkled
too much effort. i just want to not play and still get yamato 1 lsc per day. i'm low on devmats because i dont bother to do any dailies
how long do we have to wait for in order to not get fucked by ship rocking?
>>14734605
Why would you sparkle 2? The extra 100 ammo per hour isn't very much bonus to the cost of sparkling for it.
>>14734616
What dailies are we supposed to be doing to maximise our DevMat gain?
