This is not a duck
this is fucking stupid lmao
>>15177565
Over 20 sorties today and no duck here either. They probably removed them from the drop list during maintenance
How do I make E-5 AA works? The Himes is wrecking my base and there is nothing I can do about it. Guess I'll just ask here instead of /a/.
How does the landing base stuff work? Been waiting a couple days before I start to event so I can get more info on who to put in sorties, this is just the only confusing part that I can't seem to get consistent info on.
>>15177556
>all those commas in the news
>>15177567
How many runs so far?
I just started E5 and I'm discovering firsthand how awful it is.
Should i use 3 land base attack bomber + 1 base fighter on E-5 boss node or 3 land base attack bomber + 1 zero iwamoto ?
>>15177573
If you want to sent them out, use 出擊，defending the base, use 防空.
After entering the sortie mod of your ship, click the node you want your plane in.
>>15177572
I think you have to set one of your air bases to defend
>>15177577
Ive yet to see that land bomber actually do anything useful on the boss. I think it for 90 once.
>>15177584
Yeah I did, I even stock 4 Reppū there. But they give zero fuck.
>>15177567
>BBV
>kuso mode
Nothing to see here.
>>15177594
blow my asshole oldfag
>>15177565
Yeah, it's a tenga instead.
>>15177576
its been several, and only one S rank which imo was pure luck. I want to say this land base thing should be helping and i'm just not utilizing it right but at this point i'm too irritated to keep trying lol
I've spent 90% of my fuel and haven't gotten past E1 yet.
Such is the life of a Kuso TTK.
>>15177597
If he blew your asshole with experience he has, you might end up permanently on taiha.
I farmed the Yuu spot like 150 times already and only got two of her yet. Fuck this shit
Do I really have to run route support on E-3?
This torpedo roulette is ridiculous.
>>15177599
I feel like there's something very fundamental about the land based planes I'm misunderstanding as well.
Those videos of them shredding through the E7 boss are awe-inspiring, but mine don't do anywhere near that damage.
I'm slowly building their chevrons up, seeing if that helps at all. Maybe the trick is to combine them with other plane types so that each squadron has a mix or something.
Why won't she come to me? I love her so much.
>>15177607
Two is still a good amount.
After 100 runs I got only one Mexican.
>>15177607
I'm over 100 runs with exactly 0 so far.
Count your blessings.
>>15177607
>2/150 runs
But that's better than the statistical average.
>Haven't played since last event
>Have to level destroyers and do new quests to get equipment to clear the new event
Should have seen this one coming. 150k is enough to level 3 destroyers and clear the event right?
>>15177607
>tfw I only have 1 WG42
>I probably need to farm like, 4 or 5 pcs
I can already smell my upcoming despair
>>15177626
50k is enough
FOR THE ENTIRE DAY ON LAST DANCE
THESE SHITFUCKS WONT LET ME PASS
FUCK SHIT
the runs before the last dance were all flawless and shit what the fuck happened
>>15177610
Route support is always worth it.
>>15177643
They switch to line ahead when you're on last dance.
Bring route support.
>farming for Arashi and Teru
>also have to farm Yuus
>implying I'll finish the event
lol
Which is the best composition to send in E-2 if I have no WG and only 1 daihatsu?
>>15177632
Unless lack of WG severely fucks me over at E6/E7, I won't farm Yuu until after I get the memedal.
>>15177654
Sacrificial CVs and an SS.
>>15177643
>using shitbuki
>using elites like Tone, Maya, shitgure, poi, potatonami and yukikaze
Kusofag ladies and gentlemen.
Aerial or Shelling support for E-5 boss?
>accidentally declined yasen at E5
JUST
Thank you based speedslut.
>>15177660
I'm doing E5 ~ E7 on easy anyway. I don't have much ships because I'm shit.
I just want the Bofors, and those planes on E-4 then it's kuso mode all the way from E-5
>>15177664
>support kills an imp
I wish mine could do that
>>15177664
>support kills a pillbox
are you fucking kidding me
Is 1CL 1CA 4DD confirmed to give the easy routing on E5?
>>15177669
>>15177674
I had it happen once, it was the time I beat it too.
>>15177656
>lack of WG
>after I get the memedal
I think you're severely underestimating E6.
>>15177685
I am.
>>15177661
For E5, I've been using Shelling and it's helping a bit, but I'll probably switch to Aerial once I'm down to the last dance. Hopefully Aerial does more actual damage to the boss.
How many fighters are you using for e1h? I settled for as with ~190 air power but I still lost 24 torp planes. In general, is it better to use more bauxite in exchange for more offense?
>airbase planes can get fatigued
Thanks devs. Yet another thing I have to wait on between sorties.
>>15177681
I've tried it myself for 4 runs and it works.
GOD, all the RNG went to absolute shit ever since the event started. Not even regular maps are showing any mercy
>>15177722
They have feelings too.
>>15177722
How can I tell?
What node drops U-511 in E3?
>>15177660
>How dare he use a mediocre DD!
>How dare he use an elite DD!
Damn nigga
>>15177726
What kind of setup?
why can't I upgrade this?
I got the upgrade material unlocked, I have the screws and enough space for new equipment.
>>15177747
Unlock it, stupid.
>>15177747
You have to unlock the daihatsu itself.
>>15177747
How freaking many people are going to ask this question?
>>15177749
>>15177750
Jesus, sorry about my retardation
>>15177753
It took me two days to figure it out myself.
Don't worry.
People keep talking about Kuso mode, what does it mean ?
Does it mean keep going despite getting taiha ?
>>15177741
>Why am I a retarded, lazy cunt?
Spoonfeeding should be a bannable offense.
>>15177756
>being this new
kek. It's just slang for easy.
>>15177756
are you new ?
>>15177758
I'm not going to fall for the "hard" meme this time.
What would E-6 be like on Historical difficulty?
>>15177758
>>15177759
sorry. I am more familiar with the term when it was used during the IBS event,
>>15177746
1CL 1CA 4DD (Jintsuu, Zara, Yuudachi, Ayanami, Akizuki, Fubuki). I'm considering changing Jintsuu to Abukuma because preboss nodes are a pain.
Do you need CAV for E6?
>>15177762
E7 without the "fixed" land support
>>15177765
Wouldn't your damage be pretty subpar without any tanks or CAV carrying sanshiki+WG?
How am I supposed to lock up my land planes when they aren't equippable by any girl and thus won't show up in the equipment tab? I don't want to accidentally scrap them.
>>15177781
You don't want to accidentally hack the game, script a way to scrap them, and then scrap them?
>>15177784
They show up in the scrapping menu, asshole.
>>15177787
And you can't scrap them, retard.
>>15177792
Let's see you try it first.
Which type of support fleet should i use on e-5 boss bode ? Surface or Air strike ?
>>15177798
Surface to kill the scrubs
>>15177778
I haven't killed the boss a single time so that may be right. I only have 2 WG42, I might consider using a daihatsu DD or two here.
I only got one of each type 89 landing and WG42.
Do I stack them on one single ship (Bep) or do I spread them out (landing for Abukuma and WG for Bep)?
fuck E5, thank god it's over.
>>15177823
Someone at kadokawa must seriously think Giornov is a word, LOL.
>>15177818
>Buon Giornov
So the devs intentionally did it. Any reason? Did Italians use it in the past?
>>15177818
>Buon Giornov~
>>15177826
>Did Italians use it in the past?
No. Just pasta bullying as with her armor.
Is Katsuragi the first ship locked more than 1 year?
What happened with the kcplayer?
There is no voice come up on my browser, is it broken or something?
Are there any alternative or had someone rip the whole thing?
So is there any truth to the rumors of Yuu being limited? Anyone farmed more than 1 of her?
I don't understand wikia players equipping normal daihatsu for E-2.
I thought only the special ones are effective.,
>>15177840
You thought wrong.
To be fair my Kisaragi + Daihatsu hasn't been really doing shit (Or any of my DDs for that matter) against E2.
Unfortunately I don't have a decent amount of CA or CAVs, so I'm relying on a Myoukou Kai.
Getting really sick of wasting time sparkling, but sparkle + both supports is the only way my fleet stands a chance.
>>15177841
Than why does wiki (not wikia) mentions only "WG42s, Daihatsu with Marines, and Amphibious Tanks" are effective against imps? No mention of normal daihatsu whatsoever.
You faggots say that wikia is full of shit but wiki is not even consistent.
>>15177681
Why would you do this over 2CAV 4DD?
>>15177862
Because CAVs are the special snowflake this event. If you ran out of them you might as well quit the event.
i Just cannot kill the boss with 2 CAV and 4 DD. Those Ru are impossible to kill with light fleet.
And air support hardly did anything.
>>15177857
Wait, you were actually checking the other English Kancolle wiki?
wwww just HOW kuso can you get
Is E6 easier now for newfags?
>>15177857
No one actually updates the wiki so lots of info on it is really old misinformation.
I haven't had to powerlevel a CA since last year. Where do I go now that plane levels make 3-2-A fatigue grinding impossible?
How the fuck am I supposed to Pass E2 when all my stupid boat sluts waste most of their fire power on the stupid PT imp that's resistant and pointless to kill.
Which maps need the duckys?
>>15177915
E-4 is the first one where you really need it because CV Hime and Wo Kai are pre-boss nodes. There's no reason to use any of the ducks prior to this.
>>15177914
You run route support. You always run route support. Make sure all 6 of them are sparkled too and they'll appear almost every node. I breezed through E-2 that way.
>>15177919
So I can just bring her to E1 as well because they're locked together. Good to know, thank you.
>>15177893
>>15177885
So all those anons spouting "wikia is shit, avoid at all cost" is all bullshit?
>>15177921
I am running route support, getting there with ships isn't the problem, the problem is they always fucking shoot the wrong shit, which as far as I can tell I have no control over so that's really fun.
In fact my Haruna almost never shoots the fucking boss and prefers to crit the 9hp shitters instead.
>>15177929
Run boss support
Why is Ooyodo considered godly for E-6 again over Abukuma? Are WG42s > Tanks?
>>15177929
Why the hell are you running Haruna on E-2 in the first place? You're supposed to use 2CAV1CL3DD
>>15177936
How many tanks do you have?
Lets say you have 2, Ooshio and Kasumin would be using them. You are tank limited, not tank carrier limited.
>>15177936
She was the reason Hyuu was able to pass E6 pre-fix. Hit Central for 1 gorillion damage.
I have one tank and one WG. How do I setup my E2 fleet?
>>15177933
I AM RUNNING BOSS SUPPORT (Along with route support, the boss support typically doesn't help beyond like 50 damage on the boss or 20 damage on the imp), the resource consumption is what's pissing me off.
>>15177937
Because I don't have CAVs.
>>15177941
Stack them onto one DD and use the normal daihatsu on other ships.
how do you even know what button to press to do things
they are all in japanese and i dont think you all know japanese here
inb4 chrome addon, it doesn't translate buttons... i personally gave up
p.s. i recall a funny stream of another game where the streamer played kancolle between matches and accidentally disassembled his first ship trying to modernize her, lol
>>15177926
Both wikia and the English wiki are shit, you shouldn't be reading either of them if you have a sense of self respect.
>>15177944
What about the CL then?
>>15177940
How much WG42s did he stack on her?
>>15177936
According to the wikiwiki WG42 have both an additive and multiplicative component and adding more of them stacks the bonus. You're looking at +110 pre-cap bonus multiplied by 162% post-cap when you have 2 WG42.
>>15177948
Use Abu k2 with 2 guns + 1 daihatsu.
If you have any other DDs who can equip daihatsu use them (same setup as Abu: 2 guns + 1 daihatsu).
>>15177958
I see, I'll give that a try. Thank you very much.
>>15177950
He tried both single wg and double wg, but I don't remember which setup he had when he cleared it.
>>15177947
So are you suggesting to use Himeuta?
There are nothing available apart from those three sites, so what are you suggesting? And don't give me lear2Japanese BS.
>>15177964
Fuck off retard.
Cut-in still matters with WG42 right? WG42 just adds extra damage, so Yuudachi with cut-in and WG42 at yasen would be doing far more damage than anyone else?
>>15177952
Here's the proof by the way taken from wikiwiki.
>>15177967
Nice comeback faggot.
Don't even spout useless bullshits if you're not even going to back it up.
>>15177968
And how the hell are you going to cut-in when you have only 3 slots, one of them being used by the WG42?
>>15177964
Yeah pretty much. Himeuta is the best source of information.
>>15177964
If you want English then you're fucked.
>>15177968
You don't? You use WG42 for utility purpose, no CIs or anything.
>>15177958
>>15177961
Oh fuck, I just noticed I have enough materials to make another tank. I'll put it on ABKM.
>>15177971
He's calling you a retard because you apparently decided to exclude the best option due to your laziness.
>>15177964
I can't even tell if this is bait or a genuine retard.
>>15177964
Why are you playing this Japanese game then?
>>15177978
>>15177974
2 torps and a WG42?
What I'm asking is if WG42 overrides other types of attack.
>>15177985
>torp
>against installation
If you're not talking about installations then why the hell are you using the WG in the first place when their multiplier only works on installations?
>>15177964
>japanese game
>there's no information except these english wikis!wwww
>>15177988
Thanks anon, will do.
Does anyone have a magic combo for E2 that doesn't require WG42's and Daihatsu carrying DD's ? I have neither.
>>15177964
You're only asking for trouble with that question, mate.
I suggest you to just shut up and ask other places.
/jp/ won't give you genuine answers because most of us are assholes and read Japanese.
>>15177996
I hear bleach and ammonia go together well, because I think you're fucked.
So E2 boss red bomber support does what?
>>15177985
You have to use gun cut in against installations. You can't use that on Yuudachi while bringing WG42.
>>15177996
Use the standard setup. Pray that your CAVs will do all the job.
>>15177996
>he's never beaten 4-5
Just use ur 4-5 fleit
does anyone know if E7 is gonna need any CAVs? Not sure if I should save Tone or Chikuma for E7 and just throwing Suzuya or Kumano for E5.
>>15178010
You can use any ship on E-7.
>>15178010
E-7 is a last map, no ship locking.
>>15178010
There's no shiplocking on last mememedal map
>saved Haguro and Choukai for last
>E-5 and E-6 requires CAVs
Just fuck me.
The golden age of CAVs has finally arrived
>>15177999
>most of us read Japanese
How to deal with that shit? I have full landbase tab with reppuu set on aa defence and it doesn't help at all.
>>15178013
>>15178014
>>15178015
What fucking asshole told me that E5 was shiplocked out of E7. Thanks guys.
>>15178024
It is you retard. Every lock except E-5 goes to E-7.
>land based planes have morale
I'm calling it, they have to be sparkled if you want them to do some actual damage. So how do we sparkle them then?
>>15177996
BBV CL CVL 3 DD. Use double support and pray.
>>15178029
You are a literal retard
>>15178029
You pay2win
Let me ring my planes already
KC calc closing due to limited U-511 and Shioi drop http://www.kancolle-calc.net/index.html
What happens if I forget to resupply my planes?
>>15178020
I've waited 3 years for that.
>tfw this event is the first time I've actually had to repair my Yamato from heavy damage
holy hell m-muh resources
>>15178053
I just keep my yamato in the support fleet
>>15178056
Wasteful.
Do you bucket yellows? I feel it's kind of wasteful, but today isn't the first time it's screwed me over
>>15178046
What does he mean you're only limited to 2? Even if that's the case can't you just scrap one and get more?
>>15178046
So the ninja nerf after maintenance is real
https://twitter.com/Kensho_KanColle/status/728149054752837632
>>15178062
Yes. I even bucket my -1 HP DD.
>>15178068
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>15178068
Fuck this game
Shit didn't mean to post in the dead thread.
To get bonus damage against pillboxes and DJ hime with Daihatsus, am I allowed to have main guns equipped or does there need to be a special landing boat animation? Sorry I'm a newfag. ;_;
>>15178066
For rankers who want 5+ dupes or farming Fat/Seiran require you to remodel them right after getting them.
>>15178046
私はこんな行為に言葉にならないほど怒り、強く抗議します。
Guy sounds pretty pissed.
I'm grinding Yu-chans right now, so I hope this limit doesn't have any effect on my drop rates.
Haven't gotten even one anyhow.
>>15178068
>tfw spent all day farming yuu's and didn't even get my first
Does kcv have morale timers on planes yet? I need a motivation to switch back
>my landabase planes are even worse than before the fix on E5
>airstrike node and boss planes now deal shitload of damage to my girls
Nice fix or I'm doing something very wrong.
>>15178066
>>15178068
So if the player only have 0 or 1 yuu can still drop from E3, but if the player have 2++ yuu no more yuu drop at E3 ?
>>15178095
Same for Shioi
Anyone liking Pola's voice?
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm28763577
>>15178098
Not him but let me confirm this again, does scraping work? or the count is permanent?
>>15178100
No.
>>15178106
Shit taste.
>>15178068
>U-511の5月4日のデータだとJマスでドロップしているようですが、poi-statisticsの全難易度のS勝利合計38995件では一件もU-511ドロップが確認できません。
COMPLETE REMOVAL
>>15178095
>>15178068
Why they limit yuu too 2 this time ? from what i remember she didnt have any drop limit during previous event.
Maybe the devs just realize how powerfull WG is and decide too this limitation now ?
>>15178109
Relax pastaboy
>>15178119
The same thing happened to Prinz.
>>15178113
I swear to God, if this is actually real.
>>15178113
Basically after today update, no more yuu drop after 38995 S rank on both node D and F ?
>>15178124
Statistics never lie, it's just how you interpret them.
Fucking Tanaka
>>15178120
I'm going to guess that you're a krautfag?
If yes, you got shit taste indeed.
Oyashio and Harukaze both drop on easy?
Between CV Hime and BB Hime, which one is the lesser evil?
>>15178113
Lel.
Guess I'm staying with only 3 WG.
>>15178125
Nope, just for people who have 2 Yuus.
>>15178126
>>15178125
Maybe it's a 1/40000 chance to drop.
>>15178113
Wait, does she not drop at all anymore?
>>15178113
What? That's fucking horseshit. I just started today. Will post here if I get any.
>>15178137
That's what people thought before realizing nobody is dropping her at all apparently.
>>15178100
No, but at least she isn't as bad as the abomination called Iowa.
>>15178130
I'm Duckfag but there is no need to get so defensive over different opinions.
Unless echo chamber syndrome kicked in
>>15178113
Since when did she drop on J? I thought it was only D, F and H?
>>15178144
Doesn't it conflicted with this guy?
>>15178068
>>15178068
>>15178113
Would she still drop if I scrap all the Yuus I get after farmign them? Only want WG.
>>15178150
Even nips are hating Iowa not because she's an enemy ship but because of her voice.
Just how do you screw up so much?
>>15178100
Yes, her sprite is also surprisingly good (for a JiJi ship).
>The retard hotfix
>>15178159
Ew.

Read it again, it was a removal form J node.
>>15178169
Another source, bro.
>>15178211
If you don't already have Yuu she should still drop. Unless they fucked it up and she's not dropping at all.

Dark days are ahead if I can't get any more WGs. Dark days indeed.

Just scrap the rochang and evolve yuu(r) pokeman when you get a second
>>15178239
Can't scrap my mexican-chan.
Goodbye, extra WG42.
What am I supposed to do with this thing?
So Yuu will still drop if you've only ever had one of her?
Thank based green T, Kumano managed to single-handedly wreck two imps. Looks like both supports are almost mandatory, time to sparkle.
With this Yuu removal Tanaka seems force us too use tank and daihatsu as a replacement, but tank and super daihatsu bonus damage seems weaker compared too WG and only equipable by some ship.
Dual support for E2?
>>15178250
Ring it.

>Rare
Of course it is not going to be too good.
>>15178255
I suggest boss support only
I just noticed that I have over 30 combat rations and I never use the fucking things.
Do I win something if I clear E5 with a lv20 Mogami?
>>15178254
Wg is outright broken. CLs equipped with it crit harder than Choukai. They should have nerfed it instead of this stealth drop shit.
>>15178255
Map support isn't worth it until you get to last dance, which might actually not even happen depending on how lucky you get
I wish they would fix the EQs or ships instead of just limiting them if they consider them broken enough to do this
>>15178250
Complete garbage if you want some survivability just just equip those trip torpedo w armor.
>>15178268
You win one (You)
>>15178267
Nobody does. THese things are more useless than Speedsuck
Thank you Bismarck and Prinz.
You both will get a ring after this event.
It figures that Shioi was one of the last ships that I needed for a whole year and now that I'm getting her I don't want her anymore.
Just give me my WGs so I can move on already.
>>15178276
Both rations and refuels are used by Japanese top pros.
>>15178268
Hard mode? Tell me how it goes I'm about to do the exact same thing once I get mine to kai.
Fuck that. I'll move on with the event and come back to E3 when drops are clarified.
>>15178276
I do. I put it into my waifu's Akashi Pocket once in a while. Event maps are exhausting, you know.
my mogami still doesn't have the 11 plane slot unlocked yet
