Yet Ooyodo is one of the best light cruisers in the game. It wouldn't have hurt to give her some great armor like she had in irl.

>Many accounts imply that the destroyers rescuing Zuikaku's survivors were all sunk; however, this is inaccurate. The main rescuers were Kuwa and Wakatsuki. The Hatsuzuki - the destroyer sunk subsequently - had begun rescue, but when a fifth attack began took up AA guard duty during much of the rescue. She made a gallant fight to the finish that enabled Isuzu , Wakatsuki, and Kuwa to escape. Hatsuzuki had taken some survivors aboard, however, and these were indeed lost with all the destroyer's crew, except for 17 from Zuikaku and eight of the destroyer's own crew in a boat which made their way to Luzon by 14 November, having been providentially cast off when Hatsuzuki got underway to engage the enemy.
>Adding the survivors from the Zuihou, it would make around 1500 crewmen saved (plus the crew from the rescuing ships). For reference, an Akizuki-class destroyer could hold 300 men aboard.

>In her damaged CG, you can see her look over her shoulder at a little boat. It is possible that is the boat with the 25 survivors in it.

She's only good because of 4 slot flexibility, not exactly firepower. I hear Zara should have more armor than she does now though and it would fill a weird niche.

>>14753728
>great armor
Wut? Her deck was somewhat decent, sure, but belt was very shitty.

>>14753775

>The Zaras more than doubled belt armour compared to the Trentos, with 150 mm in the main belt. The main deck was also very thick, 70 mm (3 in). Turrets and barbettes were as well protected by 150 mm (6 in) armour. In addition to the primary armour scheme, there was secondary armour: the upper deck was 20 mm (0.79 in), and the flank hull above main belt was 30 mm (1.2 in). Almost no other cruisers were equipped with two armoured decks and two armoured belts. This scheme followed, in fact, not quite a cruiser layout, but that of a small battleship. This made the Zaras the best armoured cruisers until the introduction of the Des Moines class by the United States. This additional armour would have made the ships decidedly nose-heavy, so to offset this the rear of the ship was raised by one deck behind the front funnel. The result was excellent watertight integrity and protection

Glancing through the different cruiser classes wikipedia pages casually makes it look like there's some shenanigans going on.
The belt armor on Zara was at least two inches thicker than Myoukos at the thick bits.

But hey, what do I know? I'm not a military modeling otaku, I'm sure the devs know something I don't.

>>14753812
Baltimores were overall much, much better vessels, though they were extremely ugly. Italians sacrificed a lot of things to build Zaras AND stay in London Treachy limits.

>>14753890

Who says Baltimore weren't better? I was comparing then with the Myokos or even the Takaos.

>>14753899
Well, Italians had no oceanic ambitions and were content operating in their Mare Nostrum. They sacrificed operational range for armour and guns. Comparable designs from Royal Navy(Kents and so on) had fucking 76mm belts for a good reason.

Did you remember to feed your Abukuma?

>>14753932
I refuse to use that ear rape for anything other than transport fleets.

So I send in my fleet to sortie, having KC3 Kai running on the background and slightly cheating by looking at the health levels of my ships during battles. I was surprised that I managed to clear 3 nodes without a single hit on my fleet. Then kaga sunk and I realized that I was looking at the wrong fleet in KC3.

I've been staying up too late

>>14753949
Post proof.

>>14753882

Most other events at least let you experiment and switch stuff up due to pathing and such but this event has been pretty bad with everyone using copy paste fleets. Alas it's bound to happen, especially when CIs are pretty much required. Torpedo sluts and ABKM being allowed are basically cheating, Shigure and Beaver are extremely strong at night and Bismarck is the best yasen BB. This is why a lot of event pathing doesn't allow specific ships like CLTs since you otherwise end up with everyone abusing the same "overpowered" stuff.

Did So get nerfed? I've never get taihad so far.

L node E-3 hard before you ask.

>>14753854
With the exception of Abukuma instead of Yuubari it's also pretty much the same escort fleet I've always used.

>>14753988

I mean that in an identical copy paste sense. Previous events have had a few different setups that work, some people used Akitsumaru, some used Hayasui, some people brought Kashima and Katori along to farm for Prinz last event, that kinda thing. This event has little to no variation whatsoever.

>>14754019

The BB himes miss a lot because you have full fuel. Node L gives you Maruyus. Hendersons aren't a problem. You reach the boss with no malus thanks to only having to fight 2 battles.

Event is easy with a Rei-Go fleet they said

Jokes aside,I think I'm gonna be better off pushing Re-Beats shit in with the south route. Do we know how we can avoid D node yet or is it still random as it seems people who are on last dance like me take the D node for granted either way?

So how feasible is E3 if I go hard with these current resources? I think I heard someone say that it was easier than E2 because they have more choice over fleet composition.

E2 is really pissing me off, get past 2 shitty boss nodes and two air strike nodes only to get a destroyer taiha on the 4th node, not only I'm paying for these sorties but also the support expeditions sortie. South route eventually gets there but all sanshiki carrying ships get taiha making night battle a bust.

How do you farm kamo on easy?
Do you deplete the tp gauge and then you go with suijou and then reset or how?

I'm in the same boat as you and yes, E-3 TP seems like the best post clear farming for Okinami.

I was running E-2 for a couple dozen runs with support just to guarantee S ranks and got tired of sparkling. At least with E-3, I don't have to bother sparkling anything and my rate of S ranks is a lot higher.

>>14754812
>>14754749
Also, for what it's worth the air nodes are fucking trivial. Have some fighters or a single AACI ship.

Listen up, you prissy little fag bitch. You either run north route with Rei-gou composition or you run the south route with a moderately heavy fleet. Both are strong enough to kill the boss, it isn't hard.

Last Dance is the part of the map when you can clear it and move on, but that one fucking ship in the first node keeps critting the same ship to red every god damn fucking run.

I am so fucking mad with E3, holy fuck.

>>14754910

Enjoy not clearing the event then. Maybe if you throw enough resources at it, something good will happen ;^)

>>14754910
Then keep hitting your head against the wall.

>>14754910
Not either of the anons you replied to but you really asked for it.

If your fleet is inadequate (and yours currently is) it is folly to level only girls you like. Only when your fleet has reached a certain strength then would it be safe level only girls you like.

Should I clear E-3 before doing extensive farming on E-2/E-3 in case I run out of buckets?

I've got 296 left, though I've been going Medium so far and am now seeing people saying that Medium is the stupid difficulty to do so I may just do E-3 on Easy to make it remotely easier for me.

>>14754902
Kinda, but you're missing the cultural significance of why the nips call it "last dance'.

Apparently, the movie "Save the Last Dance" is hugely popular in Japan, and there's a line from it that got translated into Japanese a bit funky as something to do with boats. The nips took it and applied it to KanColle and that's where it comes from.

>>14754988
But I'm not. I agree with that other Anon's estimate a while back; I only spent about 30k clearing the event.

There are only 3 maps and you only have to sortie heavy ships in E3. >>14754955 is a little low on buckets, but he has 2 weeks left so I'm sure he'll be fine as long as he's doing expeditions/easy dailies.

>>14755010
My ships are mostly unremodelled and unmodernized so I figured I should play it safe until I have a lot more variety and stronger K2's.

Aside from this, it seems basically everything aside from Libeccio drops on Easy, but you get to Medals for clearing Normal so I'll probably do Normal regardless.

Way to miss the point but all these dancing gif are fun to see

>>14755010

Read in the previous thread that Graf's drop rate is 0.5%.

>>14755151
She'll be chuuha'd anyway, so the +6 FP should be more useful than the fit gun's bonus accuracy

That double Ta fleet composition on either line or double line at E2 node G is a load of bullshit. Both can miss their shots only to have one of the Tsus to taiha someone. I'd take Wo Kai composition since at least they're in ring formation. God I've had more Tsus critting someone than those two Ta ever hitting.
That gold sub at the first node can even crit someone sparkled even in echelon and on a hankousen too

>>14755193
anon, you know what doesn't face BBs or CVs? Rei-go fleet.

>>14755193
I don't know why people even try doing south when E-1 is giving out the whole Rei-go set like candy.

Should I even bother bringing FCF to the E-3 boss? I feel like even chipping would be hard without my DDs for cut-ins.

>>14755207
>>14755208
I only have Yodo so.
Either way, South is a bit like 2-5 and like I said, I never have trouble with the Tas. The Tsus are the fucking cancer on node G. It becomes easier if you get the Wo Kai formation since she rarely ever crits someone. The Tsus though can at line ahead and double line and can evade shots like crazy

>>14755223
No, FCF is quite useless.

>>14755227
It's possible to use the wiki's 1CA1CL3DD1CLT formation to clear E2 hard. I didn't use it personally, but apparently it works well enough.

You guys think there's a reason why Tanaka made the SS nodes in Echelon formation and not Line Ahead? I feel like they would've raped us A LOT more if it was Line Ahead...

Consider route support. It sounds like your fleet will need all the help they can get.

Yura is prettier and has a better voice than Abukuma. I wish she got the Kai 2 instead.

If you're new enough to not know that you can look that up in the wiki, you're new enough to not have any ships sufficiently leveled enough for it to matter.

What sort of fleet should I be aiming to use for E-3's first half?

Is the suggestions on the wiki what I should be following, or is there something else which does the job better?
