News:
-Spring 2016 Event has started on May 3, and will end on May 27. It is a 7 map event split into 3 parts: Initial, Expansion and Final Operations.
-Kamikaze-class DDs Kamikaze and Harukaze, Kagerou-class DD Oyashio, Zara-class CA Pola and Iowa-class BB Iowa (who first appeared in the PS Vita game) are available in this event.
-Land-based aircraft and their famed pilots have been added. They can be used with the new land-based aerial support mechanic, which can also accommodate naval aircraft. Land-based air squadrons will be able to aid your fleet at up to 2 specific nodes.
-The first part consists of 4 maps. E3 rewards Kamikaze, along with the ability to use the new aerial support mechanic.
-The second part consists of 1 map, rewards Pola, and is optional.
-The third part consists of 2 maps. The last map will reward Iowa.
-The max slot counts have been increased to 290/1260 for ships/equipment respectively.
-150+ ships get 3rd anniversary voice lines. Yuugumo, Naganami, Harusame Kai and Mizuho also get temporary Spring Bouquet sprites.
-An Asashio-class DD will get her Kai 2 this spring.
-Android lottery results are out. 250k winners will be able to access the port when it is implemented after this Spring event.
>>15167384
Kamikaze is a cutie.
2nd for enjoy the rape
Pola is worse than Nachi or Junyou when it comes to drinking:
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm28763577
I will destroy this shit.
The cutest
Harukaze voices by Noto
I'm going to marry her
So I got a bunch of AP and Shell 3 with one Daihatsu from Abukuma's Kai 2 and that free one from that quest from the last update. Could I still beat E-2 on Kuso mode or is just not possible for me?
Started about a month ago, got a few DDs that can use them but if I can't progress then I guess I can just farm for the ducks.
Is 2 gins + Tank better or should I use Gun + Daihatsu + Tank for E-2? Should I bring an AACI too?
Those of you who didn't start E-1 yet, don't be afraid, even your shittiest runs should be successful.
Cummykaze.
Imageboards!
>>15166377
For you.
>>15167428
Е4?
>>15167432
E-4 is not a transport map.
>>15167434
I'm asking for E4 chart dummy.
what did Hyuu use on e5 again? trying to figure out what to exclude from my e3 fleet
>>15167428
What program did you use to make images like this?
>>15167434
E-4 is easy, you can bring carriers and torpedo sluts.
why wont stupid ducks drop?
>>15167444
There's no info for E-4, not even the reward.
Even if it's easy it's impossible to prepare without knowing anything about it.
>>15167422
Would my level 41 Samidare even be able to beat it?
>>15167428
Please make an E2 also.
It's too confusing if you haven't played with landing craft before.
Kamikaze and Harukaze are a miracle of the universe.
>Oyashio is an E-6 drop
fug
>>15167453
My Ikazuchi was level 47. Really, the escort fleet only needs to be able to survive the subs pretty much, the main fleet matters more.
>>15167453
Main fleet will kill her before escorts get a chance.
You can just use her as a DD escort for FCF
>>15167453
2nd fleet doesn't even do anything.
>>15167463
Tanaka makes a good torturer.
>>15167463
looks like we're switching to easy after e3 boys
>>15167463
She's the only ship I wanted from this event. Looks like you'll have to wait till the next event, mini-Yahagi
>>15167465
>>15167466
DD's are only suppose to be used as escorts are they not?
>>15167422
That is E1, right?
The only annoying part about that map is the pre boss node, rest is pretty easy.
A new thread every time we hit image limit? New thread here I come!
>>15167457
I actually replaced Mutsuki with Beph(tank, daihatsu, ducky gun) for the last run. It should still work with Mutsuki but I got impatient and locked Beph out.
>>15167481
Why bofors on Satsuki?
>>15167481
Any reason to save Ooyodo over Yuubari?
I only have 5 daihatsu, no tanks.
Waiting for more info, but is it possible for me to clear on easy?
>>15167496
You need Yodo in E6.
How much stronger is Bofors compared to Mays gun actually?
>>15167481
Is the tank+upgraded daihatsu combo really necessary? I only have Kasumi and Ooshio capable of holding tanks and I want to save them for later if possible.
Nips flipping out
>>15167493
>>15167496
Because AA cut-in is useful and I dont have WG42.
>>15167493
All she needs for AACI.
>>15167507
Mibear is love, Mibear is life.
>>15167422
Very true.
So are any of these maps doable on medium/hard if I don't have any DD's that can carry daihatsus?
Otherwise I guess it's kuso mode for me all the way.
>>15167504
Do you want to finish it in less than 5runs or do you want to go through 100runs like that anon from the previous thread claimed he did?
>>15167506
It's the hardest event, it blows Midway and SN out of the water.
>>15167506
Which map is Kamo used for?
>>15167481
I only have 4 Dh, 1 SDh and 1 tank, how should I distribute them?
>>15167398
I need a source for this.
Are you guys having fun?
i have 2 WG, 1 tank and 2 daihatsu
how fucked am I?
>>15167421
Bonuses stack for all the landing equipment.
So WG, Tank, Super Daihatsu hits the hardest during the day and is consistent in the night.
If you take 2 guns and some equipment you'll get night-time double attacks but be weaker in the day.
The enemy doesn't have much air support so an AACI is pretty much unnecessary.
>>15167522
Even IBS wasn't this bad.
>>15167440
>>15167535
Either luck or do easy mode depending on resources bro.
>>15167548
Didn't he use a Yuubari as flag?
>>15167528
Make another tank.
If you have no WG42, either drop to kuso mode or make another tank.
Here is how it works.
2DD tank+combo -> high damage to pillbox, so so damage to DJ hime
CL 2xWG42 and sanshiki -> high damage to DJ hime, so so damage to pill box
>>15167481
I have only one WG, two assault daihatsus and two tanks.
How much difference would it make if I have Jintsuu instead of Yuubari and Satsuki with two tanks?
>>15167553
Hmm, maybe he did, I don't have screenshot from final kill. I do rememeber there were two fBBs there.
I have a feeling I'm fucked out with only so many CAs. Does anyone know if E5 and E6 are cruiser heavy?
>>15167555
>Make another tank.
No screws. And my intention is medium.
>>15167561
You're fine.
>>15167536
Will 2 tanks get stack bonus?
>>15167568
No idea, it's not well tested
>>15167561
I'm even more fucked.
>>15167481
How you deal with F node? Ru always taiha one of my girls.
>>15167573
By not going to F?
>>15167573
You go north
>>15167573
What are you doing in F?
You are supposed to go E, a free pass with subs.
>>15167561
The whole event seems pretty cruiser light so far.
A couple on E1,3 and 4 and a pair of CAVs for E2 and 3.
I'm just going to take torpedo cutin destroyers to E4.
>300 buckets left
Fuck everything I'm going kuso.
>>15167578
>>15167582
>>15167583
Fuck, I'm retarded - I thought that H node is another battle. Thanks for answer.
Use Tones for E2 or save them and use SuzuKuma instead?
Just woke up, found out the guy beat E6. Based megane power is saving people's asses again.
>>15167594
Save.
>>15167596
Apparently Ooyodo took her down to taiha and Choukai dealt the final blow. Does anyone have the link to vid? (assuming it exists)
>tfw just doing orel while watching everyone die inside
>>15167604
And the circus music keeps playing.
>>15167604
At this point I just want to find drop locations and farm who I want. Probably getting Kamikaze as well.
Iowa doesn't seem worth the effort, at least until someone cracks the code.
What's the purpose of this button?
>>15167584
That's just 2 locks so far. What did the streamers use for E-5 and E-6?
>>15167617
I have no plans of finishing this on hard with finals coming up, I'm just hoping I can get Iowa and maybe Yuu/Shioi/Teru/whomever down the road.
>>15167619
Rest, probably means that they won't sortie.
>>15167620
E-6 is where you bring all your best elites.
Save 2 of your best CAV for E-5 and besides, it is only Pola. Who cares.
>>15167632
Thanks.
Post yfw Kamikaze drops from E7 boss hard.
>>15167634
So how many CAs on E-6? Should they be DA types or CI types?
What the fuck am I suppose to do if I don't have WG and only 2 tanks? Kuso mode everything?
So is this the hardest event so far?
>>15167642
She's E3 reward.
>>15167645
Just do E2 Kuso and then farm Yuu at E3 and get your WG42's
>>15167650
Only if it turns out there is no secret to E7. And I'm sure there will.
>>15167644
Apparently the boss is an installation, so double attack. It's weird since she looks nothing like an installation
>>15167594
Save your Tones their choke will be needed later
>>15167650
Depend on E5 and E7. E1 and E2 so far were pretty easy to me. I have a harder time at E2 of AL/MI. Shitty LoS mechanic while using a composition with DD and CVL was a killer.
>>15167650
Judging by nips reaction, it looks like it.
I'm surprised they didn't make this event happen on summer. Usually spring events are pretty lukewarm.
2AV or no on E-3?
>>15167673
1 easy spring out of 4 springs is not usually, retard.
>>15167673
I'm actually more worried about summer right now. What's next, abyssal combined fleet?
Prime time to be missing Kagerou for the Abukuma quest
>first node taiha at E2
Thanks rand().
>>15167685
>had a hard time clearing those spring events
Not my fault when you're a noob, retard.
>>15167561
Is this ship viewer an extra plugin/mod for KCV?
Just how common is DJ hime supposed to be when clearing? Haven't seen her in 5 visits since I started and gauge is depleting very very slowly.
>>15167506
I think this is going overboard.
>>15167709
It's there by default for gakada's version.
>tfw 9hp PT imp crits Mogami from full to taiha with a closing torp
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>15167715
yeah you think?
>>15167717
I see, I'm using Yuubari's fork instead so that probably explains it.
>>15167720
A severely difficult event doesn't require you to smash your monitor in rage.
That person needs to get help or use a stress ball.
>>15167723
What? It's a feature from the original KCV. You're just blind.
>>15167723
It's there by default in all KCV versions. Click on the Ship List button in the Overview tab.
>>15167711
>helpful bug
>did nothing
wew
>>15167728
>>15167732
Well shit so it is, I was expecting it to be under tools instead.
>>15167712
Should be 50% in my experience.
>>15167673
>bases all spring events from a single spring event
>>15167685
It's 2 easy springs, actually. '13 and '15.
Has anyone found this doggy yet in any of the maps?
>>15167452
There is already rewards info for E4.
>甲作戦:三式戦 飛燕, 一式陸攻, 給糧艦「伊良湖」x2, 勲章, 熟練搭乗員
GIJK route. Use suijou basically it is just a retool E1 fleet.
2BB
2CVL
2CA(V)
1CL
4DD
Can use kuso here and save the other 2torpedo sluts for E5 or E6.
Should I be saving the 4 Ka-mi carriers for E-5 and E-6?
>>15167586
>3 week left
>He's in panic already
You can get at least 200 in 2 weeks anon.
Is it even worth it to clear E1 hard if you have no FCF?
>>15167779
I don't see any reason to clear it on hard as all difficulties gets the same common rewards.
>>15167764
If I use level 40 DD's for E-1 Hard would I be able to reuse them for E-4 or will I need to swap out ships?
Because if so then I might as well use higher level DD's for E-1 if they're gonna get shiplocked anyway.
>>15167781
Hard gives the T89 daihatsu, while other difficulties only give the normal daihatsu
>>15167781
Are you fucking kidding? E-1 hard gives you the super daihatsu. Any other difficulty gives you the regular one. E-1 is the only map where you should try your darnest to complete on hard.
>>15167781
>>same common rewards.
E1 easy daihatsu E1 med daihatsu E1 hard super daihatsu
Been out of the loop for a while and was about to dive into the event. Are there any ships for routing this time around?
Considering how disgustingly OP they are why aren't isn't the IJN building more torpedo cruiser?
Well, fuck.
>>15167789
No. All BB all the way.
>>15167789
No. Consider it the only show of mercy you'll get from this event.
>>15167784
>>15167786
>>15167788
"Common" as in you get a daihatsu (regardless of what type) for all difficulties.
I was implying how on the previous event you weren't able to get specific items on easy. For example something like catapult where you're only able to get it on medium/hard.
>>15167790
They get sent off course
>>15167782
Look at the comp, it is an easy map.
How does difficulty changing work this event with optional maps? If I do E3 easy then I can't do E4-7 in hard right?
I'm retarded please help.
>>15167790
They scrapped torpedo armaments and turned KTKM/Ooi into transport ships in 1942. They are OP in game but IRL they were useless shit.
>>15167790
IJN hasn't existed for several decades.
Where do you get info about rewards for all difficulties?
>>15167790
The IJN had the best torpedoes in the world during WWII but more torpedoes does not mean stronger ships.
>>15167804
Read the wiki.
>>15167798
Good to know, thank you.
>>15167452
E4 was cleared by many people. You just never tried to look for info.
>>15167804
You need to do the previous map on medium to go to hard so if you want E4 hard you need to do E3 on medium.
Is the 6-4 meme real?
>>15167452
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TsWhHyNR9E
First result when I googled "kancolle 2016 spring E4". Stop being retarded.
>>15167824
no info on wikia or kancollewiki
not a fan of the wikiwiki's all-text format when I have to use google translate.
Who completed the event?
>>15167829
You have three weeks.
>>15167831
EOP pls
>>15167829
What?
>>15167831
>no info on wikia or kancollewiki
No shit.
I have no idea why would you even try to look for info on wikia. It's utter crap full of misleading stuff.
>>15167790
Because that many torpedoes also made them prone to blow up.
Also they would have only been useful in a decisive battle.
>>15167837
Some people said clearing 6-4 nerfs E-6 or something like that.
>>15167841
Yuck
>>15167840
>Also they would have only been useful in a decisive battle.
Isn't that kind good?
>>15167790
They were going to modify kiso but ran out of launchers.
>>15167841
Retarded rumors. The speedrunners cleared 6-4 on first day and still have huge problems with the event.
>>15167841
Nope. You kill X hime for Y times, and BAM! Debuff.
>>15167834
Me.
>>15167839
Well there's no other resource in english.
Either learn japanese or be stuck with wikia because it's the most frequently updated.
I mean at least wikia has some composition info for E-2, kancollewiki is always like a day behind.
Is E2 supposed to chip so little of the bar? It feels like I'll need 10 full kills.
>>15167800
There's quite a bit of a difference between the daihatsu you get for beating easy/medium vs hard. Treating them like they're just variations of the same equipment is like treating a reppuu kai vs a reppuu as the same.
The major point, though, is that the distinction is important enough to warrant hard mode.
>>15167857
You don't have to learn Japanese to use nip sources.
Wikia is good most of the time but DON'T use it for events. Half of wikia's info about events is wrong.
>>15167848
No because that never happened in WWII.
Maybe it would have happened if they attacked the Philippines instead of Pearl Harbor but who knows.
>>15167860
Even for new players? Doesn't seem possible for them.
Did they forget to buff my Mogami or something?
What the fuck is this shit? I want my 11 planes.
>>15167858
You chip a lot when RNG gives you Depot Hime.
>>15167860
What's the difference even?
>>15167868
Sortie her and then resupply her.
>>15167868
Pay bauxite first.
>>15167645
I managed to do E2 hard with 2 tanks, 2 Daihatsu 89 and 2 regular Daihatsus, just needed route and support support and good RNG (Ooyodo is just using 2 guns, a plane and Fumo). I'm now in E3 seeing if I can farm multiple U-511s.
>>15167865
>No because that never happened in WWII.
In a way Guadalcanal campaign was the decisive battle Japanese wanted so much.
>>15167868
Use and resupply her numbnuts
>>15167848
Decisive battle gone with the coming of CV.
>>15167873
We don't know, that guy is theorizing.
>>15167877
*route and boss support
>>15167880
Gaudalcampaign was a series of battles of attrition. Decisive battle just means 1.
>>15167877
I saw someone get their 3rd and 4th U-511
>>15167857
Just go to nico and copy first com you saw.
>>15167873
Fewer screws to get a tank.
>>15167877
If you're not going to bring WG why use Ooyodo at all?
>>15167888
Nope. Do you even Kantai Kessen?
>>15167891
Most TTK's don't have every ship at level 100 like the frontliners.
Oh fuck I'm tempted to clear this on easy and be done with it.
I don't think I can handle the pressure and the stress.
I was planning on doing the whole event on baby mode, but now I'm worried that not doing e1 on hard will be setting myself up for failure in later maps because I only have one daihatsu (with type 89) and no wg42. on the other hand I don't have yodo so I'm concerned about using up too many resources just to clear the first map.
why did I listen to wo posters?
>>15167890
On what difficulty?
>>15167890
Noted with thanks.
>>15167893
I was an idiot for locking her to the green tag so I just decided to go through with using her.
>>15167877
I hope you used Akizuki guns on Ooyodo. Otherwise there was zero point.
>>15167877
Regular daihatsu grant bonus damage for installation? i thought it just super daihatsu and tank grant bonus damage.
>>15167764
>save the other 2torpedo sluts
M8, this event is installation heavy.
>>15167839
Wikia is fucking retarded, especially the comp for E3 where they recommend people to bring AV
How far is the guy speedrunning E7?
Is he taking a break now?
>>15167904
>Regular daihatsu grant bonus damage for installation?
Yes.
>i thought it just super daihatsu and tank grant bonus damage.
What made you think so? Weren't you here when 6-4 was introduced?
>>15167909
Asleep
>>15167899
Just got her on easy E3, D node.
>>15167904
I can't confirm this either, I saw a thread where nips were equipping regular daihatsus and gave it a try. Here is the thread: http://kancolle.doorblog.jp/archives/48516258.html
>>15167898
Just beat E1 on hard you kuso. You need the tank for E2. You can easy whatever after.
>>15167898
Because you're dumb, autism-kun. You only have yourself to blame when you decided to stay here.
>>15167909
Hyuu collapsed after multiple tries of last dance.
>>15167896
The first 4maps are pissed easy where the stars are expedition sluts and Mogami
>>15167914
she drops on F as well along with potato mexican
>>15167922
Not you again. Fuck off. And learn some English.
>>15167908
What to bring then?
>>15167922
Yea well I don't have WG42's or tanks or any of the daihatsu DD's except Verniy.
Hoping I can still do Medium but there's still so little info on the first couple maps without trying to navigate google translated wikiwiki.
>>15167920
Awwww shit. Were those images of sextuple hime E7 final dance real?
FUUUUUUUUUCK.
>>15167880
I guess for the USN side sure, it was never that way for the Japanese though since the US side had too great of an industrial capacity to overcome.
>>15167911
Regular daihatsu doesn't animation of the landing craft attack I believe. When I had my Mutsuki with WG42 and 2 daihatsus she wasn't doing anything useful while my Kisaragi was doing 130 damage with 2nd tier tank.
>>15167930
Why wouldn't they be? No one is that sadistic to fake shit like that
The EO battle music is the real boss of this event, to be honest
By successfully completing E-1 on the highest difficulty, you basically get a 15+ screw head-start on your upgrade train.
>>15167934
Kisaragi cant equip tank, do you mean super daihatsu ?
>>15167890
Did he have to scrap his previous one?
Is sanshiki modifier post-cap? Are cut-in overcrits possible?
Wow E-4 is piss easy with carrier fleet
So where do I deploy my CLTs and cut-in girls? And what of Abukuma?
>>15167960
How's the route compared to surface?
>>15167955
>2nd tier tank
He probably meant the daihatsu 89. It's still technically a tank.
>>15167968
Easy, only thing you have to worry about is Wo and preboss with CV hime, but you send your reppus from land base and use AACI, you can pretty much disable them.
If I don't have two WG42s, what should I setup a CL with for E2? Would Sendai class with a WG42 and two main guns make sense?
>>15167971
>preboss with CV hime
Fuck it, I'm sticking to surface. BB Hime is much less trouble.
>>15167927
The point is you don't need LV100 boats. Just look at what people are clearing the maps with. All common non elites and expedition sluts and the devs even gave a freebie tank on the previous update.
Is there any truth to Roma and Littorio dropping on E-5?
>>15167949
Is it worth it though? It is a combined fleet map so doing hard will eat resources like mad. Plus ship locking.
>>15167976
yes
Sendai/Jintsuu 2gun wg
2 Mogami class your usual sanshiki 2 gun seaplane setup
3 DD with 2main gun 1 daihatsu/tank
or 1 gun 1 tank 1 daihatsu
>>15167990
If you have FCF, definitely do it.
If not, at least consider doing it.
>>15167971
>but you send your reppus from land base and use AACI, you can pretty much disable them
does this actually work reliably?
>>15167990
>combined fleet map so doing hard will eat resources like mad
It's so easy, you can use a single BB. Resources are not a problem.

Thanks.
So I know we call the people who go in blindly to collect info and stuff to be the vanguard/spearhead, what do we call those who follow shortly after at around the first day as well using the information?
>>15167990
This >>15167995
if you have FCF just do it E1 boss is a joke compared too the preboss.
>>15167990
Yeah, that's the catch. If you're newer, it's not a terribly efficient gamble.
Talking about E1 locking, is the army dog needed for routing in this event at all?
If she is needed later on I might farm her on easy first before I lock the map to hard.

Everybody else?
>>15168004
faggots

If you aren't RTA you're in the same boat as others, not a special snowflake.
BB hime hit Zuihou and couldn't even chuuha her.
Embarassing
I'm I good to do hard with 3 WGs and only a handful of regular daihatsus?

Katsuragi E-7 drop confirmed
Any Eugen reports? I mean, this is Bikini Atoll, right?
>>15168015
That was an overkill hit where you rolled 50%-1HP
>>15168033
>E7
Tanaka why
Is it at least an easier node?
>>15168033
Watch it be Hard only too
Do I need a BBV for anything? Because if not I'll take Fusou to finish E-2.
If I've only been playing for a few months, is it better to set my expectations really low for this event? Something like clearing E1-E4 at best?
>>15168004
If they are the spearhead, than in Blitzkrieg terms the ones who follow to exploit the breach are pursuit force and the ones who clear it last are mop-up force.
>>15168042
You can bring them to completely obliterate E3.
What fleet should I use for e-4, e-5, e-6 and e-7? Wiki is being slow with the info
>>15168045
This is by far the most difficult event thus far, just do your best.
>>15168045
You probably wont make it past E3.
So this is my second event and the first one with ship locking.
The Wiki page said that in Summer 2014 shiplocking was introduced and that ships who got locked were still able to sortie on certain other maps.
IE if you sortie a ship to E1 you could still sortie her to E2 and E7.
Now my question is: are the mechanics the same for this event? Can I sortie a ship to E1 and lock her to E1 and E2 with that? Can I use all locked ships on E7?
Or did the ship locking mechanics change for other events?
>>15168047
Read the wiki
>>15168047
you wait for tanaka and friends to fix the aircraft bug
>>15168045
2 ducks and 1 good sub and another special sub early on so you're in a good position to pick some nice stuff up
