H-hello? Anons?
>>15238723
RNG has got them! Now only you can save them!
>>15238728
RNG has all of us man, there's no escape from that.
will this work for easy modo? don't bully.
>>15238733
Easy mode what, you retard.
I hope I can clear E-5 by the end of this event.
But my equipment is probably too shit.
What is the best Yuu-farming setup for hard mode?
>>15238733
E-7 I presume?
Remove Kiso and put in a CA or something, CLTs have no place in this event.
Fusous not at Kai Ni? Use Ise/Hyuuga instead.
I-I can't do it.
>>15238756
>CA on slots 3 and 4
Go figure
What do you guys think a theoretical Houshou Kai Ni would be like?
I think I'm gonna build a T2 seaplane fighter.
Is it possible to get more ducks form E-2 if you already have them all?
Just farm easy
>>15238769
I got three Teruzukis while I was farming for Kashima.
>>15238767
Why?
>>15238799
I don't have any other pressing upgrades and a lot of downtime.
>>15238749
I don't have ise or hyuga. is torpedo really not useful for getting to the boss node?
My bucket streak of 10 buckets has ended.
>>15238818
Ise class drop like candy, and they remodel at lvl 10. Just get them.
Is it ever worth to rank in event time in terms of rewards they give?
I don't think I can make E5. Already dropped to medium, I still can't sink Lycoris after chipping half the bar. The two Rus always stay alive and kill one of the CAVs and the last two runs taihad out. It's going to have to be kuso mode for me.
>>15238864
>>15238868
No one gives a fuck
>>15238868
>I don't think I can make E5. Already dropped to medium, I still can't sink Lycoris after chipping half the bar
You could always try 2BB route. Or what I did for the final kill, 2DD, 2BB, CAV, CV. It goes north, but has a reasonable chance of reaching the boss and you can get AS with the right planes and decent landbase support.
>>15238859
You can get into top500 just buy finishing your EO
It is a free month to rank.
The double CVHime at node L is fucking bullshit. Day FP cap during red T
>>15238885
Cool bullshit. It's only half of the month and EOs already aren't enough.
>>15238885
EOs alone haven't been enough for a while now.
>>15238793
Yeah, I just got another Akizuki.
This game is being way too good to me this event.
>>15238909
Throw me some of your luck whenever you stop needing it.
>>15238917
You can have all you want, I really just need to farm a couple of (Yuu)s now since all my other farming is done.
>>15238922
fuckin' juicy
>>15238849
but they are potato so I can't use them. is 1 more plane in a slot even a big difference?
Are all American ships going to be spazztic cowtits?
>>15238944
>1 more plane in a slot
At least read the wiki you autist.
>>15238931
Gimme your luck, I'm stuck on Yuu farming.
>>15238895
What server are you on?
You only need 830 for top500 for my server currently. I have 653 right now with 1-6, 4-5 and 5-5 still to go.
On what difficulty are you guys farming Yuu?
>>15238958
Why did you list 1-6 there?
>>15238962
>>15238958
EOs give 780 points.
Current requirement is completely worthless. At the end of month it will be double of that or more and it is the only moment which matters.
>>15238962
Easy.
>>15238949
Hopefully
>>15238977
Last month cutoff is like 1600. It is going to be even less this month.
Anti installation cut-in when?
>>15239007
just give your CA's 3 red and a sanshiki
>>15239007
Gun cut-in + WG or Sanshiki.
>>15238950
it's 11/11/11/14 instead of 10/10/10/10
are you being stupid on purpose again?
>>15239025
14-10 is 4 and not 1 you fucking retard.
Oppai
>>15238992
It was >1900 here last month.
>>15239025
I think you're the one being stupid on purpose here.
Why were people upset about E5?
With range 6 greens you can completely stop the boss from launching planes. It's just sparkle and pray to get to the boss, where your shipgirls will have a decent chance to S rank.
Is the Last Dance significantly harder?
>>15239035
3 out of 4 slots only have 1 more plane, and 14 doesn't even seem that significant compared to 23 on upgraded kuso.
>>15239036
Worst Unryuu
>>15239049
It's the exact same. You don't even have to disable her, she rarely hits. Getting to boss node and the Rus are problems.
>>15239054
Only a cretin like you would intentionally choose smaller slot for comparison.
>>15239049
>decent chance to S rank
There are still 2 Rus double attacking twice, that is 8 deadly attacks and the boss is not always disabled either.
>>15239058
Maybe I just got extremely lucky then. But I also sparkled everyone.
>>15239049
I don't know man. I just need to know what to do on boss support. Should I use dive bombers or torpedo bombers for my carrier support? I have been trying shelling but it doesn't work enough.
>>15239049
I'm going to start right when I finish sparkling my support fleets. I'm convinced it's just Idlecolle fags who are having trouble.
Is luck modernization obsolete now?
Who should I feed my Maruyus to?
>>15239068
Yes, there will nevere ever be a non-installation boss. Feed them to Akashi because she'll get branching next event.
Just perfect.
>>15239058
I compared the most common one. it's like if I said, "3 out of 4 /jp/ users are shitposters" and you fired back with "nuh uh, 1 out of 4 only shitposts on thursday and friday."
>>15239083
>I compared the most common one.
Just another proof you're clinically retarded.
>>15238668
Please step on me.
heh
>>15239095
Fuck off and never come back, your stupidity is off the charts.
I love you guys.
>>15239102
You do realize it's a scratch?
>>15239068
Give it to kasumin
Why are retards like him allowed to live and spam the threads?
>>15239110
it keeps happening
>>15239130
Well, WG increases chance of targeting the installation, that's one of the good things about it.
Oyashio farming is starting off great.
>>15239125
Because people like you reply to him.
>>15239102
>>15239130
Literally the worst webm cropping I've ever seen.
>>15239141
Really? That's pretty neat.
is it worth bringing a boat to e7 or am I better off with a searchlight or something? I only have 2 wg.
I've been playing for a while and the guides don't mention anything about it
what's with the people in pvp who have high level rare ships and low hq levels
is it really that common for people to surpress their hq level so that they can win pvp?
do they just get insanely lucky on drops?
>>15239191
Good thing you can farm Yuu at E3 right now and is the easiest she's ever been available to farm, ever.
>>15239192
pvp is based on rank, not hq level. if they have rare ships they're just luckers like that guy who got zuikaku as his first carrier.
>>15239191
Just equip your LBAS perfectly and you don't need to worry about anything except getting to the boss. Even on Hard.
>>15239200
really?
damn, and there's a dude right now on my pvp who's level 13 and has a zuikaku and multiple good battleships
I guess it's good that pvp gives basically nothing but quests then
>>15239161
Not even figuratively. Literally. It's that bad!
>>15239202
this is the best I can do with my planes, so I don't know how well it will work even on easy. I don't even have enough carriers right now for boss support. I'm going to have to convert chitose and hope I can get kamo later so I'll still have enough seaplane tenders for expedition 36.
I guess I will farm for Yuu until I get 6 WG42.
Not going to pass E5 otherwise.
Maybe I should just farm the first 4 maps.
And after the event is over get Akashi to upgrade.
>>15239228
how stupid are you fucks, I can beat E5 on hard with 0 wg
>>15239233
All my upgraded equipment is poor after all.
I guess I'm just an unlucky son of a bitch.
>>15239242
>unupgraded equipment
I meant I have no upgraded equipment. Gosh I am tired.
>>15238733
Even no potato anon can get Iowa. How embarrassingly bad can the rest of the userbase be looking at all the hilarious rage quit posted throughout the last few threads?
>>15239246
People raged quit?
>>15239242
just do it on easy. don't let bullies stop you from clearing the event.
looking at 2chan looking at 4chan
>>15239228
>And after the event is over get Akashi to upgrade.
Just wait for next event, she will surely drop there at a non retarded node :^)
>>15239256
Isn't that /jp/ screencap at least 4 months old? I recognize that post.
I was told that E-7 CTF routing will destroy your planes if you are not prepared, what is the best plane comp for the CVs then?
>>15239254
I switched to easy. Even with 80 or more evasion my DDs still get hit even with sparkling. My resources are low now.
>>15239251
There was one streamer who deleted everything and stuff
In spite of still having 2 weeks to do E-7 Hard, what a madman
>>15239258
I really doubt that.
>>15239260
enough Fighters for AS+ and one Saiun
>>15239260
Actually no, it is about the same, it is just that you will bring more planes compare to the south route thus burning more baux. As long as you meet the boss (with diamond formation) your planes will be destroyed.
>>15239256
I-i was in that thread
>>15239256
I sometimes wonder if they feel weird about foreigners playing Kancolle.
>>15239263
just get lucky. use route support and put one air strike on L. if you can get to night battle at the boss with only one ru left and your cruisers still alive you have a good chance of winning.
>>15239306
Maybe in a few days after I recover some resources. But for a boss installation when I use carrier expedition support should I be using dive bombers or torpedo bombers?
For Tanaka's sakes, why the fuck do the twin CVHime have so goddamn much accuracy? They always hit, and always taiha your ships, even in red T.
>>15239345
They are also 75% immune to ducky AACI. Every time AACI procs, it only shoots down 45 planes out of 150+
>>15239345
Because she's better than you.
Kasumi why
>>15239351
Don't you dare show up in my events again. And take the other christmas cake with you
>>15239345
Just bring 4CV escorted by a ducky and maya.
Forget the BB, they are a waste of slots and resources and with them in your fleet, CVhime get to shell twice.
>>15239306
I do and I have. I got 2 S-Ranks at the boss before but now my I can't do anything.
I guess I should have leveled my girls more.
>>15239345
High luck, 4 equips that give accuracy, Hime ships feel like they have more accuracy than normal enemies.
>>15239363
Worry not, she won't appear again until summer.
We're going to get even more CV himes on preboss nodes to make up for having land base now.
Can't wait for the inevitable Re-elite or Ancient Destroyer Oni preboss
When will Tanaka give us a CL like Abukuma kai ni but without a genocide-inducing voice?
Holy shit, 250 E-3 runs and not an extra Yuu. I have the odd feeling they're counting the extras as how many Shioi + Yuu that you've got stored up.
>>15239417
When Nagara's remodel happens.
>>15239421
Straight from the nips.
Even your hated artist can do it. Stay mad fuckers. https://twitter.com/kujouitiso/status/731468958138662912
How do I go from F to I on E7 again? What's the point of kamo if I get sent to H most of the time. I already removed any BBs from my first fleet.
Am I a bad person for not watching my shipgirls fight and just alt tabbing?
>>15239451
Try the suijou meme
>>15239453
No.
>>15239431
Looks like I'm just unlucky then.
>>15239453
I don't bother watching either because Civilization is more involved and also because watching makes me nervous
>>15239451
2CV
Do STF regardless, it's way easier
>>15239441
Don't know about anyone else but I like that guy.
I am just not a good admiral.
How many WG will be practically enough? Is there any equivalent of WG in USN?
I'm really glad I got my first yuu ever.
I've also slightly modified the image for /jp/ consumption
>>15239068
Just for one event, which means more time to luck mod your ships.
>>15239537
fewer stars on her face than usual, thanks for cleaning it up
>>15239537
Stars are disgusting.
Why does this game feel like a job?
>>15239553
Are you saying you hate the American flag?
>>15239559
Not really, it's just that they obscure the ship drop screenshot.
>>15239521
>How many WG will be practically enough? Is there any equivalent of WG in USN?
If you want to look at USN ships that used rockets look for USS LSM(R) series.
>>15239559
I would scrap iowa if all my other battleships weren't level 99
>>15239566
Edgy kid.
>>15239345
With 70 luck and those equips, it roughly translates to +35% accuracy. Good luck dodging that.
>>15239521
5, anything more and it is approaching very specific equipment setups.
>>15239559
Not him but what? There's no reason for me to like it.
>>15239417
I want kinu kai2
>>15239585
But is there a reason for you to hate it? Or have any other strong feelings towards the American flag?
>>15239453
Unless it is the final run, no. Seeing them getting their shit slapped around with me having no control makes me feel mad.
>>15239521
The USN had a shitload of them. They also apparently also had the equivalent of the V-1 rockets that could be shot from CVEs planned for Operation Downfall.
goddammit, I spend an hour relevelling my planes and sparkling my ships, only to realize I forgot to set my air bases on sortie.
Does DF Yuu farming need morale much?
So, my resources are beyond fucked and I haven't started E5 yet. Do you think I have a chance of finishing E5 and 6 hard mode if I take a week to run expeditions and scrounge up resources?
>>15239605
No and no. I'm just saying it's irrelevant, as any non-american would think.
You are retarded if you think everyone should like your country's flag just because you are american and you like it.
>>15239652
Don't post your resources, post your fleet instead, dumbass.
>>15239651
No for easy, definitely for hard. I swear those late model DDs are worse than pre-patch PT Imps with 0 morale.
>>15239644
We might have one of them for Panama event, right?
HORA HORA
There's no debuff mechanic for E7 right?
>>15239677
No you are getting a Sub for Canal hime. Or a carrier.
Anyone else with luck abysmal enough to still be farming Harukaze
>>15239683
I hate this bitch.
I just crafted my 9th(maybe?) akitsumaru (no taihou still), and that reminded me of one time here on /jp/, someone told me to farm カ号/三式. What's the point though. I've never used them, zuiun is good enough for 1-5, now i have two of each sitting there doing nothing
>>15239695
USS Barb was fitted with rocket artillery during the last few months of WW2 and successfully bombed a few towns in Japan. So, maybe a US sub might carry them like Yu.
>>15239715
Very interesting. I learned something new today.
>>15239715
Yuu
I don't care if I'm kuso, iowa is almost within reach. I just need to get this to happen 6 more times.
>>15239751
Would rather have the escorts wiped instead desu
>>15238668
Abyssal Admirals
>>15239751
She will call you a casual with her broken English.
>>15239655
My potentialE6 fleet. My Zuiuns are equipped on ships in dock right now. Yamashiro will be K2 in a day or two when I get a fourth medal from 2-5.
>>15239751
No potato anon still doesn't have zuikaku?
>>15239751
>Yuubari outside of flagship
Crazy TTK.
Are 2 WG42 enough? I'm farming Yuu and I have about 100k of fuel, ammo and steel, and about 43k bauxite.
>>15239770
I used zero in E6 and 3 in E7.
If you are doing kuso mode, you don't need any of them in either of the maps.
Whats the good plane loadout for E-7 anyway, both for land and for your CVs?
I know that I need enough airpower to get AS+ on boss, but what about the rest of the slots? Dive Bombers?
Fucking Wo flag kai always ruining my day in the shelling phase.
Haven't even reached E6 boss node for a while now.
>>15239768
isn't it better for her to be further down so she has higher chance to target the boss?
>>15239765
I finally got a second carrier for 5-2 so I can just get her from 5-4 next month. I'll try to get amagi too after I get iowa.
>>15239780
Yuubari has terrible armor, HP and evasion while going against heavy hitting Abyssals. It's a miracle she wasn't touched.
>>15239795
It is kuso mode bruh.
You would be getting consecutive perfect S rank if you send in a proper fleet. They made Iowa a freebie.
>>15239751
No I'm the true Kuso who will never get past E5.
how come I was able to completely knock out armored carrier princess's bombers so she could only attack with her gun, but wo still had planes left every time? according to the wiki armored carrier princess has 96 bombers, while gold wo only has 64 on easy mode.
>>15239651
Probably no if you are farming on kuso.
I locked myself out from that so I am only doing it twice before resting them while doing ex2.
You could probably wiped everything out just by using seaplane bombers in kuso mode.
>reach boss node in E-7 for the first time
>Do chipping and stuff
>Resupply CVs, sees 700 bauxite disappear
I think I know what am I in for
>>15239878
I'm down 50k baux so far. I just reached last dance on E-7H
Miki best boat
>>15239985
When will Yoshinori learn to draw an open mouth?
>using <500 bauxite per E6 run
>fuel is my bottleneck
Well fuck.
>>15240001
Considering he hasn't learned yet, probably never.
>>15239904
I'm at 9k bauxite and just reach E-7. So, maybe I should go easy this time.
>>15240022
Doing it on easy is effortless. Boss is almost guaranteed to sink via land base.
I want to avoid the double CV Hime node, it should be no BBs and only 2 CV?
>>15240022
You have 2 weeks
Is there anything I can do to improve my fleet for E-5 Last Dance (easy)?
I can do 4DD 1CA 1CAV by swapping Fusou/Yamashiro out for Suzuya and Kasumi Kai, but this is honestly the best I've got.
130 runs and I've basically wasted my entire event resources on this one fucking map.
>>15240053
What do you need that searchlight for? Are you going to flash Lycoris with it or something?
>>15240057
I assume it's there to hopefully draw enemy attacks away from his sanshiki ships at night, friendo.
>>15240053
I have been trying to do 2CAV and 4DDs
No luck though.
>>15240057
I want to flash Lycoris.
>>15240057
>>15240061
I'll be straight up honest with you guys, I saw someone else's fleet had it and figured anything I changed could be better than the constant taiha pre-boss I was getting.
Nothing has changed.
>>15240074
I'm not getting taiha but I can't finish the boss.
I haven't done the event yet because I don't have enough ship slots.
Should I give DMM money and rush the easy route because half the time is gone?
>>15240086
Just buy more slots you filthy jew.
>>15240061
It does nothing but placebo. It's better to use WG to one of your DDs.
>>15240086
You have too many DDs.
>>15240053
sparkled Yamatos and Cranes for boss support. Pray they hit those BBs and transport.
2x green guns to Poi for extra AA. Larger guns to the Fusous if you have them upgraded.
>>15240104
I have all of the ones required for my current/future quests that need to be completed and some rares.
Been hovering at the limit for an event and then Bisko decided to finally show up.
>>15240131
>LSC right before event
>>15240074
>>15240079
I beat it with 4 destroyers and suzukuma. I had 2 wg and a landing boat, but every time it was kumano who killed the boss so you can probably do without them. use route support and put all your air strikes on the boss. if you keep getting sent home before the boss you can put one air strike there instead. you have to count on boss support to kill at least one ru.
>>15240053
I did kuso modo with 4DD 1CA (Zara) 1CAV, land base to preboss once and boss thrice, and no other forms of support
It's pretty much all luck, keep trying
>>15240131
Scrap Bisko for space, she's old and busted.
Can somebody remind me if the flagship of the escort fleet is sinkable or not
>>15240134
I got bored with the game and left it like that for a few months since the last event.
Which is why I'm hesitant to spend money because odds are I'm going to put it back into the corner after the event.
>>15240052
2 weeks, I can make at most 50k.
And this guy, >>15239904 just reached last dance with that number.
>>15240153
It's impossible for escort flagship to sink since the game is programmed to never have the flagship sink.
>>15240156
That's cute. I spent 50k for the whole event and I farmed E3. This is E7
>>15240165
Ah blast, I could have chipped the boss in E-7 some more then
But I didnt out of fear
>>15240053
>>15240138
I have done that shit, with the exception of not using a landing craft. My girls have decided I am a kuso.
>>15240001
He fucks up that a lot, but I think Amatsukaze's and Yukikaze's here look kinda good.
>>15240192
Kamo neck
>>15240190
I don't know then. is boss support not killing ru for you? if you can get to the boss with little damage and support clears out at least one ru you should have a pretty good chance.
If your FS of your escort fleet has a damecon, will it ever proc?
>>15240200
I think it does, so make sure it's not equipped.
>>15240198
I have tried both carrier and shelling. I don't know whether to use torpedo bombers or dive bombers.
I was able to S-rank the boss twice and apparently used up all my luck then. Because now the game has decided to tell me to fuck off from E5 after 100 runs.

Shimakaze actually looks like a smart girl and not like a huge slut.
>>15240233
she looks like a fuckin nerd
>>15240192
Agano class bullying continues.
>>15240235
Man, which character wont look like a nerd even with glasses
>>15240022
E-7 is not bauxite heavy unless you are speed farming for Oyashio or Harukaze. Fuel is the limiter.
>>15240237
What? Agano-class is drawn by Conishi.

Disregard my post I suck dicks
What is the current best Maya AACI setup?
>>15240166
Did you already post your fleet and land base compo here? I will try digging them if you posted it already.
I'm finally done this cocksucking event.
>>15240241
What do you mean not speed farming? Can we minimize the cost?
>>15240263

You are never done until you get all the (Yuu)
>>15240233
She's never a slut. She's just a speedslut.
>>15240209
use shelling support
>>15240257
You'll need more green planes for non-final for both land base and your CV
Saiun > Green
Land base 2/2/1 Greens or 3/1/1 pending if you can hit the range requirement of 7
You can swap fastsuck for another CAV with sanshiki + WG42 if you want, but I'm clearing my equipment space
>>15240274
>this average range again
So the average range is more important than individual range, is it a concencus about this?
>>15240266
You go through two slow as fuck sub node and multiple node of battleshit vs battleshit node instead of carpet bombing and quick win.
E-5 last dance, all girls full health, think I stand a chance?
>>15240286
There is always a chance.
>>15240286
Just retreat.
>>15240286
haha
>>15240287
>>15240288
Failure yet again.
This is probably as far as I'm getting this event.
>>15240274
>>15240282
Thanks anon, I will try farming first and possibly do hard.
E-7 J or K, which will let me pass?

Harukaze is an angel
>>15240317
K is more likely, but prepare anal lube anyway.
>>15240322
I went with J and I got no damage. Then I got destroyed on M thanks to support not showing up.
>>15240324
Yeah, this last dance is giving me a fucking ulcer.
