News:
-The Summer 2016 event is slated to start in August. Its scale will be smaller compared to last year.
-Asashio Kai 2 has been implemented. It will come with a Kai 2 D form, with which it is reversible. She will be capable of equipping daihatsu and Ka-Mi at Kai 2 D, but not at Kai 2.
-8 new quests have been added, including a limited time summer quest which rewards a summer furniture. In addition, a new type of quest, the trimonthly (seasonal) quest, has been introduced.
-2 new and 3 returning early summer furniture have been added.
-Zero Fighter M32 has been implemented, and can be obtained from development. Its Skilled variant, Zero Fighter M32 (Skilled), can be upgraded from Zero Fighter M21 (Skilled).
-Zero Fighters M21/M32/M52 (and their variants) and T96 fighters can now be improved. Proto 61cm sextuple oxygen torpedoes can now also be improved.
-Iowa is now fit with her own guns, the 16 inch Mk.7. They can now be upgraded to a high accuracy variant with GFCS, which can be further improved.
-The following ships have received a buff to their base ASW: Tanikaze Kai (+1), Shigure Kai 2, Uzuki Kai (+2), Ushio Kai 2, Okinami Kai (+3), Isokaze Kai, Hamakaze Kai, Maikaze Kai, Harukaze Kai (+4) and Kamikaze Kai (+6).
-Ushio, Ayanami and Hatsuharu's max firepower at Kai 2 have been buffed by 2 points. Hatsushimo Kai 2's firepower has also been buffed by 1 point.
-Isokaze Kai's max luck has been buffed from 59 to 77. Her max LoS has also been buffed by 10 points.
-An opening ASW attack phase has been implemented. It will take place after support fleet attack phase and before opening torpedo phase. Isuzu Kai 2 can perform the pre-emptive ASW attack unconditionally. Every other ship needs 100+ total ASW, which can be increased with levels or equipment, as well as a sonar to perform it.
-Depth charge animation when fighting submarines has been sped up, among other UI/graphical fixes.
-Shiratsuyu has received a mobile phone seasonal sprite in commemoration of the Android port's implementation.
-The Android port has undergone a maintenance to accommodate 80k more players, who have been selected by lottery to join the original 250k lottery winners. It will be accessible to all players from the July 15 maintenance.
-100 new and returning Rainy Season lines have been implemented, along with new seasonal sprites for Hayashimo, Kiyoshimo, Akebono, Yuudachi Kai 2, Mizuho, Yuubari, Mogami, Chitose and Chiyoda, as well as returning sprites, and new and returning furniture.
-The Mutsuki-class DD that will be implemented this summer will have an early summer seasonal line.

I have a question for people that have been playing for a few years now: how the fuck do you do it? I started September last year and I'm already sick and tired of this game. Nothing is fun anymore and everything feels like a chore, I don't even want to send expeditions most of the time. I don't sortie at all either, if there's anything I actually want to level I just slowly do it in PVP because actually running maps to grind is so mind-numbingly boring now. Events are a breath of fresh air until I remember it's just the same old RNG bullshit with whatever extra layer of bullshit the devs come up with.
>>15501325
You literally just get good at the game and it becomes a thing that comes easily. Expeditions and such become second nature and events become challenging and satisfying distractions.
>>15501325
I have nothing better to do and I like seeing numbers go up.
>>15501325
If you forgot the reason why did you start playing in the first place, then it's time for you to quit.
>>15501325
Number crunching is one of the few things I'm good at, and the main reason why I came here in the first place, as well as why I stayed here.
>>15501325
when you realize you are not playing a >game, everything comes down, i only lasted 2+years, i came back here as a lurker for those delicious kca webms
>>15501325
Eventually something inside you breaks and you start to enjoy it.
I quit after every event for awhile but I've been playing steadily since last summer.
If you're burned out, just only play when an event is on.
>>15501325
That's exactly it. You only come back for events.
During off season you only need to login few mins a day for PVP and then send out expeditions once in a while. With Android, you can just do that while waiting for bus or train.
>>15501325
I'm still having fun
>>15501325
Started since Summer event of 2015, been loving it ever since. The high flux of doujins and fanworks make it even better, such as Yua, Kouji, and Shino's works.
Honestly I don't know what it is that makes me so attached to this game. I abhor and love the RNG, giving me an incredible feeling of satisfaction overcoming the odds set against me. The fleet composition and equipment setup adds small value of strategy which actually makes a signficant difference and it makes me keep coming back for more.
>>15501325
Call me a casual but I'm taking my time slowly leveling and clearing
I'm not going to have memedals anytime soon, but I'm also not going to burn myself out in a year or two like I have with other games
>>15501325
I like collecting boat girls, and I like reading these threads on /jp/. I also like the art this game influences people to make.
But most of all, I just really like the character designs in this game. So far no other game with a similar theme of collecting personified objects has gotten my attention.
Who should I level next for the event?
>>15501549
Zara for the seaplane fighter
Libeccio for the high ASW
>>15501549
Graf for her planes and Zara for her seaplane without having to craft for it.
Or whichever you like the most.
That ducky is a spy!
Goddamn why did I get rid of Libe
>>15501302
I've always wanted /int/ to write what Iowa and Kongou say to each other.
how many weeks until the next event? I was hoping I could at least get akitsumaru out of lsc, but I've been using all my resources on grinding so I haven't had a chance to try.
>>15501601
Months away.
>>15501601

>>15501325
Sunk cost (time) fallacy, mostly.
>>15501596
That's /sp/.
>>15501325
I log in once every few days to do PVP and set my expeditions. If I'm feeling really inspired I'll line up a grinding fleet and throw it through 4-2 or 5-2 a few times, until everybody has to go to the hospital.
I started playing in 2013, hit T-level level 99 in around nine months, and right now I'm T-level 101. I haven't actually completed an event since Arpeggio, but I have only skipped out on one event entirely so far, and usually end up trying to rush down most of them on the last day.
The only thing that's really keeping me in the game is the promise of new lines and my autistic desire to get a few more Mutsukis up to Lvl99.
>>15501325
I have nothing better to do in life. I started in Iron Bottom Sound and just tap away the expeditions at work waiting to be fired. It's not happening, so I just tap away.
>>15501608
so less than a month from now? or still 4 or 5 weeks?
>>15502036
>I don't know how a modern day calendar works
>>15501325
It's just compulsive perfectionism to defeat the compass and the maps. Nothing more than and idiotic and autistic obsession covered with a cute girls coating.
Some people enjoy that.
>>15501325
Honestly, I think you just have to really like the game. I'm not sure why I even like it. Would I miss it if it was suddenly shutting down permanently?
>>15502036

I haven't had Internet at home for the past week and the only thing I've thought about is how badly I miss playing and I started at the exact same time as you. I guess everything gets old after a while, but I feel like you just never enjoyed the game if you're bored that early. I love this game and I love my girls.
>>15501325
See >>15501361
Upgrading your equipment is and training your favorite girls is great. This way I'm motivated to do weeklies which take a lot of time.
Other reason is that KanColle's gameplay is perfectly suited to my situation but I don't want to mention that due to >blogging.
I've been playing for almost two years and started noticing signs of burnout recently (Fall 2015 wasn't a good event and farming E5 left bad after taste due to terrible luck), especially after Spring 2016 which simply sucked but the updates are very rich this year and they're enough to keep me interested. Summer is also coming which should keep me hyped for some time and I guess it will just work like that.

The sub is just fo tanking enemy attacks. If you''ve got fully modernized girls the enemies in that node will simply scratch your girls.

It took me forever to get a sub when I started, too.
Just do the rare destroyer recipe for your daily build quests and you'll get one eventually.

How is the PvP-"retry" supposed to work? I've tried F5'ing during the loading screen when going into yasen, but that doesn't work for me.
Also, is there a cheap way to fight against ranking fleets apart from subs?
J node.
>>15502746
Git gud
>>15502745
3-5DD, 0-2 aux, 1 BB, easy day S rank.
>>15502746
Just refresh on J node.
I've been doing it for a long time and have never got slapped for it.
>>15502748
But the intention of the post was trying to praise Asashio!
>>15502752
I prefer saving my refreshes for D -> E/G, I don't mind spending some buckets on J node. OK, who am I kidding, I just don't do 4-3 at all and wanted to finally see how it is.
>>15502749
Unless you get extremely lucky, I don't think that works consistently.
>>15502752
The extra EXP from that node doesn't hurt, assuming no one gets taiha'd.
>>15502765
>I prefer saving my refreshes for D -> E/G
Retard
>>15502772
Avoiding opening torps is very common, not "extremely lucky".
>>15502779
You are a retard.
>>15502800
No, I'm not. Explain why you think so though, otherwise your posts are useless.
>>15502803
>I prefer saving my refreshes for D -> E/G
This is why I think you are a retard, thought my first post made it clear.
>>15502803
These asshole, in case you hadn't noticed, spins the wheel in D to see where he's sent to. If he goes E he gets up to 140 bauxite; if he goes G he just simply refreshes.
So that's the gist of it. He's an asshole allright but you should have taken a look at the map again in case you hadn't nooticed there is a bauxite node there.
>>15502809
You didn't provide any reasoning, only quoted a part of my post, nothing is clear.
>>15502227
Really? It seems the H-fanart is coming much slower than it did for Kasumi.
>>15502832
Kasumi was already lolicon bait and rapebait to begin with. Asashio was like that too but it had a faithful following of TTK who saw her as a daughteru but those are starting to shift too. Soon, it will be all degenerates.
Can we get SEA out of here please?
Usually you can at least understand them, but today they can hardly form a sentence.
There is nothing wrong with resetting if you get sent to G.
I will say that you could reset both for J and G, but as >>15502772 said if things work out at J, it's a bit of extra EXP.
>>15502839
But Kasumi had very little Rule 34 before her Kai Ni.
>>15502839
Kasumi had next to no porn before Kai Ni, unlike Asashio who didn't really change at all.
>>15502848
SEA is very strong in that anon but at least he understands what's going on. The other one on the other hand makes me sad. I just wanted to talk a bit but he refuses to cooperate.
How many upgrades plane do we practically need?
I personally think the baseline is 9 for landbase and aerial support.
>>15502848
>>15502852
>SEA
No m8s, we're not all like that.
>>15502896
>upgrades
>helping for aerial support
Doubtful.
>>15502901
Oh right, I forgot that support doesn't use upgrade in calculation.
Why does Kinugasa get a kai ni and not Aoba?
>>15502990
The world is unfair.
>>15502990
Only shitty girls are allowed to get a Kai Ni.

>>15502909
Anyway, to answer your question.
We're going to have to prepare for a minimum of 3 land bases, though something tells me that it could go up to 4 (but that could just be me being paranoid). For the number of skilled 21s you need, assuming they keep spring 2016's range mechanics (best case scenario), take the number of land-based bombers you have, divide by 4, round up, then subtract the result from the number of land bases you're preparing for. But since we know that T1 Land Attacker Model 22A is a summer plane which is highly likely to be accessible to everyone considering how it was given out as an apology gift, that means that you can add 1 to the total number of land-based bombers you have.
Then for the number of fighters to prepare for the land base (including interceptors), you want maybe 2 for each land base you're preparing for. You'll also need maybe 7-8 fighters for your main fleet. This gives a total of 13-16 fighters/interceptors to prepare for. So subtract the number of skilled 21s you're going for (and Hien 244, if you have it) from the total number of fighters you want to prepare for. You'll get the number of 11+ AA fighters you'll need to prepare in total for the land base and your main fleet (keep in mind that fighters can go into land base slots but interceptors cannot go into carrier slots). That's the number of skilled 52s you'll want to upgrade. That is, if they don't add Reppuu into the upgrading pool. So after upgrading the skilled 21s, I'd advise you to hold your screws first, at least until the event starts.
Of course, the total number of fighters/interceptors to prepare for may vary from player to player. Plenty of players would be willing to settle for 10+ AA planes for the land bases, for example. So if you're one of them and if you have Hien (which gives 10.5 effective AA), that's one less. But no matter what, don't forget the number of skilled 21s you need to prepare for.
Note that if they do change the range mechanics, then obviously you'll need more skilled 21s and such, but there's no such guarantee. On the other hand, I highly doubt they'll buff those particular mechanics in the player's favour, so you'll most likely need at least the number of skilled 21s as calculated above. In other words, you can say that having the range mechanics being left unchanged is the best case scenario you can hope for.
>>15503003
Yeah, because if it was fair, Kinugasa would get far more attention.
>>15503077
How do landbases work again? Didn't we have some argument about average range vs individual range vs just one plane range? Had anyone figured it out yet?
>>15503131
People who didn't care about average said that it was probably fine to bring just one plane with enough range. Many went for average. Whole thing was too much of a trainwreck to gather reliable data.
I'd say one plane with enough range should be fine but we don't have solid proof. Hien x2 became meta in last week of the event despite its short range.
>>15503148
No. We know for a fact that range didn't matter shit. Hoppo Alpha had land based planes air phase data and we know that fighter AS value did not drop
>>15503131
IIRC by the time spring event ended consensus was that it just took the longest ranged plane. If they don't change the range mechanics you can consider it the best case scenario.
>>15503148
>tfw found a way to make 1/1/1 viable
>Comptiq didn't have anything about the event or ships
We're gonna go in blind again.
>>15503153
Yeah but did you/that guy fulfill average requirement?
Later on theories were:
1) One plane with enough range is all you need for full power
2) Range of individual plane doesn't matter but you need average, otherwise planes reach the boss with lowered effectiveness
I might have missed something but I didn't see decisive data despite following threads quite closely except for last one.
Personally I think 1) is more likely.
>>15503152
>>15503153
>>15503170
By assuming it will be the same, if you have enough reppuu/MAX T52 varients, you will be fine with landbase, right?
>>15503067
But that is a shitty girl.
>>15503176
You don't have to upgrade anything, seriously.
We don't even have formula for how much land base lowers AS requirement.
>>15503177
Does this mean we will see TanYang soon?
>>15502264
The yuugumo looks better than the rest.
>>15503177
You need to reevaluate that opinion, anon. Even Haruna tries to emulate her.
>>15503194
Nonco's Haruna is seriously cracked in the head.
>>15502206
>>15502224
I came into the right thread a bit late it seems.
>>15503203
Why is she so careless with that lotion?
>>15503236
That's condensed milk and she shouldn't worry about it going to waste.
>>15503170
I tried average requirement but later it seemed like one plane getting the required range was enough.
>>15503176
Pretty much.
>>15503245
That's even sillier, why the hell is she squirting condensed milk all over her tummy? How do you expect me to defeat the abyssals if my destroyer is hiding in my bedroom basically naked and basting herself in condensed milk? This is an outrage!
>>15503279
She expects you to train her thoroughly and give her the D.
>>15503281
She's already at K2D, and that doesn't even explain the got-damn condensed milk all over her!
>>15503283
She's reflecting on her actions and wants you to discipline her, that's why she's in your room too.
So who plans to go to the Irako Sake Store in Yokusuka on the 28th?
>>15503289
I'll court-martial her and have her scuttled for her indecency.
>>15503290
I always thought Irako had small breasts or was flat but she looks rather stacked there.
>>15503170
>>15503260
Also for the record, here's the setup I used for E7 last dance.
http://arch.b4k.co/jp/thread/15308019/#15310846
Even considering the possibility that it could have been average range, I concluded that the max range was the average range rounded up, at least if the average was something like 5.5. Wasn't sure for the case of 5.25, but in the end I decided that only one of the planes needed to reach the required range, and so swapped the T96 around with one of the Muratas.
>>15502264
Just fuck my gumos up

Oh fuck, I didn't swap the T96 with one of the Muratas. The first base still needed a plane with 6+ range. The first 2 bases both had a total of 22, giving an average of 5.5, which would have been rounded to 6.
It was while chipping that I realised that the requirement was just that one of the planes needed to reach max range, when I realised that the setup was even more effective when I swapped out my skilled 21s for skilled 52s.

When Fujikawa draws breasts, it looks magical.
Is the start at 4-1 random?
>>15503290
>highly active artist
>no new remodel after 2 years
>>15503408
2 or more DD: E -> F. Otherwise random.
>>15503302
Same, maybe the pose and angle hide them a bit but I still think she's been given a bust-up.
>>15503469
Doesn't look flat-chested to me.
>>15503302
>>15503469
In comparison her Christmas sprite looks closer to those new proportions, although that could also be explained by the thicker material of the outfit.
>>15503472
I should say, I never really thought she was flat-chested, just average. Certainly not gazonga-sized like >>15503290
No complaints though.

>Opening a store based off some literal who
>mfw I left my script running overnight with Akashi as a FS
Please kill me.
>>15503582
What script?
>>15503493
It makes way more sense than a Houshou store.
>>15503582
Enjoy your ban slut.
I really like to check the daily boss quest and weekly transport quest at the same time. Literally a FREE ticket to Torchville!
>>15503787
Why would you do it at 2-2?
>>15503799
70% of reaching boss, else high change of getting transports (as consolation).
Usually I clear the transport quest in 4-2 tho.
>>15502565
Did you go all the way? I was thinking of doing the world 3 weekly at 3-4 this time while also fishing for Hiryuu.
>>15503810
Yeah, they were usually full runs or until one of my girls got red.
>>15504045
Based.
>>15504045
Shittiest meme.
>>15503493
You do know the two food ships were among the most loved in the IJN, right?
>>15504052
I think it's one of the better ones since it has some basis to it.
>>15504045
>upgrading scout planes
>not upgrading 51cms
my head hurts
>>15504052
Oh, it is time for the "I hate this meme"-meme.
Its just possible craft 46cms?
i spend more than 25k ammo/steel
>>15504083
Getting to the boss is more important than +1% accuracy.
>>15503290
I want to get drunk and have some cosplayer fuck me.
>>15504189
Just go to Comiket and pay one of them.
>>15504203
>implying they wouldn't arrest any gaijin trying to solicit a cosplayer on sight
>>15503799
It is mathematically the best for both boss and transports.
>>15504083
This. Both my 51cm are already at +4.
>>15504052
>Kiyoshimo
>not a BB
>>15504255
Hnnngh. A shame she got such a shitty seasonal sprite, I wanted to marry her. Now I'm worried and will wait for actually good seasonal art.
>>15502571
They're not dolls, they're wearing masks.
>>15504259
You've got a week to get your hopes down so anything will be a pleasant surprise
>>15502454
Maybe it's the whole uncanny valley thing but I've always found kig to be extremely creepy. I'd rather look at a dead body.
>>15504287
Yes, I know, they have to have a headpiece that fits their head. But the faces are fucked.
>>15504298
Swimsuit Kiyo could be something amazing considering Fujikawa knows what girls wear. However I seriously doubt any of the gumos will get a new art this time.
>>15504345
Considering how shit Hayashimo and Kiyoshimo's rainy sprites are I don't want Fujikawa doing any more seasonals.
Poi is too big to fit in the docks!
>>15504351
Only Hayashimo looks weird mostly because she's smiling, there is nothing wrong with senkan.
>>15504351
Hayashimo isn't that bad even if face would appreciate more detail. Smile makes up a lot.
>>15504393
Senkan looks like shit, her face is awful and that tongue is stupid. Damaged art is better but I don't let my DDs suffer.
>>15504392
>Docks won't fit a small destroyer
Time to have some builders court marshalled.
>>15503029
>only 小破
Fuck it.
I honestly belive some Re and Re Elite for players on hard mode wouldn't be that devastating now taking into account that the power creep have made her a lot weaker now.
>>15504510
What power creep prevents opening torpedoes?
>>15504510
I will take one Canal hime and 5 Re. please.
>>15504467
I get that Hotels needed to have such a wide beam for added stability, but why are their decks so empty? Any other ship would've used that space to add at least a couple extra AA guns there
>>15504518
pre-emp ASW.
>>15504523
They did, later on.
>>15504525
Re is not a sub.
>>15504536
>What power creep prevents opening torpedoes?
Where do you see Re in the question?Don't mind me, I'm a bit bored and tired.
>>15504467
Feels bad to know I'll never get to walk on the deck of the mightiest battleships that once sailed the seas.
>>15504518
back in the days of not chevron and not AP shell buff she was dangerous on evey phase.
Now with so many new Kai Ni and mechanics she's only really dangerous when she launches the torp.
>>15504523
The extra weight there affected their agility too hard, I imagine.
I can't imagine them thinking the main turrets with Type 3 shells could take on the job of the AA guns.
>>15504554
The Inn deserved it.
>>15504554
You can visit Iowa right now.
>>15504564
...The extra weight of a few 25mm mounts on a 70,000 tons battleship?
>>15504565
Meanie.
>>15504554
>>15504571
Wisconsin was totally rad to visit.
>>15504523
>>15504564
>>15504576
Don't forget that the main guns would be firing right over the bow. They have to leave plenty of empty deck around them because anyone there would be pulverized.
>>15504571
I suppose she is now, with the 1980 missile refit and stuff.
Speaking of which, did anyone take a certain candidate seriously when he said he wanted to reactivate the Iowa-class battleships?
>>15504592
It actually would contribute quite positively to Making America Great Again from a psychological perspective, but would be ruinously costly and highly doubtful to get through Congress.
>>15504580
What can I say, I just love teasing the BBs.
>>15504592
Nobody did, and it would be a retarded idea anyway.
>>15504587
That doesn't keep ships like pic related to have their AA armament spread all over the deck, including the bow. Something the hotels never did for some reason.
>>15504592
I think that was his way of saying, "I will make sure the military budget will remain high." Because no one, probably not even him, believes we need BBs activated.
Just let Iowa-chan and her sisters sleep.
>>15504554
I've been to the USS Alabama. It was pretty cool. The main guns are huge in a way you can't really take in until you see them in person.
>>15504601
Iowa-class never had them there either.
>>15504587
Is this how they decide breast size? The displacement of the water from firing the guns?
>>15504614
>>15504601
Might just have been asthetics
flush decks on BB are pretty nice desu
>>15504624
What about titty DDs then?
>>15504592
I wouldn't take that seriously, but Iowa-class would make more sense for fighting ISIS than nukey carriers or submarines.
>>15504624
No.
>>15504643
In the middle of the desert?
>>15504643
Nothing an Iowa-class would provide would make sense vs a CG or DDG for the purposes of fighting terrorists.
>>15504643
Why? Carrier-based planes can strike much further inland, and it's not like Daesh has a navy of its own.
>>15504636
I really like the ultra long bow on the hotels, but whenever I see pics from above, it seems a much more shortened distance.
Don't know what to think.
>>15504659
Just put wheels on it
>>15504708
Hotels weren't that long, but their superstructure is located more aft than their contemporaries which gives that impression
>>15504624
>>15504639
>>15504645
The displacement rule is probably meant to affect the girls' apparent age, which in turn loosely coincides with boob size.
>>15504670
You don't need to bring goddamn carriers to the Med, there's plenty of land bases for them in the area.
Just park a Iowa-class off the coast of, say, Libya and enjoy support shelling from a ship that's actually made to take some hits.
Nothing of this is to say you should actually bring the Iowas back for that, of course, but hey.
so if the next event is going to be panama and iowa was built to fit through the canal, does that mean she'll get special routing?
>>15504738
This is only true to very few artists and even they are inconsistent. The only thing separating age is class.
>>15504751
No.But Shioi might.
>>15504751
They wont actually go inside because the boss takes over the whole area, it's just outside. Why would they even go inside?
>>15504738
There is no rule. Zuihou looks younger than some of the DDs and many sister ships look very different in age.
>>15504738
there is no rule, artists pulls shit out of their asses, dont think too hard about it
>>15504237
If you ask them in private, you wouldn't have any problems.
