First for Abucute

Now capable to deal with land units, glorious IJN will attempt the reconquest of far east and drive out the puppet governments by the western colonial empires and free the locals from oppression once and for all.

>>15083750
wew lad

>>15083750
More like they need land units to actually create a pit stop to get to Iowa. The US sending Iowa in a plane is highly dangerous and sending her alone with no way to refuel is also dangerous. Japan is probably the only country to have a dedicated shipgirl program while the rest of the countries with coastlines probably have just a handful being on the defensive since Abyssal threat is not that high compared to Japan, which is surrounded by them. Not to mention the Marianas Trench is quite literally next door, where it is the perfect breeding grounds for new Abyssal abominations.

>>15083750
Nah bro. This is basically just magical girls with ships. Probably cheaper to send magical girls than actual ships, not to mention no one can see cute magical girls to each others as an act of war.
>>15083767
But according to the Vita game, Panama canal, and Pearl Harbor have been infected with Abyssals too.
Your face when phase 2 is actually battles beyond the Pacific.

>Japan is probably the only country to have a dedicated shipgirl program
Just because the PS Vita game (for obvious reasons) doesn't cover the Atlantic doesn't mean that the Atlantic and Mediterranean nations aren't dealing with similar problems.

Just by the Capital Ships sunk or scuttled in the Mediterranean and Atlantic (Fast Battleships Bismarck and Roma, Battlecruiser Hood, the older fast battleships of the Scharnhorst-class and Dunkerque Class, Aircraft Carriers Aquila, Ark Royal, Courageous and Glorious), you're looking at some significant potential opponents, not to mention the fuckload of U-boats the Germans threw into battle and the fuckload of escort carriers, DDs and cruisers the allies threw into stopping them.

Summer E2 for example would've been much easier with dupe CLT available. Of course it's not needed, but anything that reduces the chances of you ending up smashing something in frustration ought to be appreciated.

That's probably not a good example, the map was hilariously easy that you didn't even need BBs. Only E3 and E5 needed them, where I sent Ooi and Kiso to. And even if you did sent a CLT to E2, it would still be 3 maps total where you used them.

CLT didn't help me much in clearing E-5 easily.
She was dead weight on most runs.
E-2 was even easier.
The only map a CLT would even help in summer was E-3 and that didn't help me much in that map either.

Finishing all EOs and dailies/weeklies will put you at gensui for the month. I'm currently at rank 500 without touching 5-4 at all.

>>15084003
Attempting to jew the fuck out of the first two dailies, that's what.

>>15083999

We're half way into the month, if doing EOs and a few other map clears for weeklies is enough to put you into the top 1% of your server then you must have a pretty easy server.

>>15084002
So they all have lv 35 Akashi as their fs and I get even less exp?

Yeah fuck this. And fuck all those bullshitters who told me PvP at high ranks gives an average of 800 exp.

>>15084008

A level 35 Akashi and a high level second slot will still get you 600-700 exp per ship, more for MVP and flagship.

>>15084005
just solo sparkle a dd
if you want to do stuff after bring escorts to minimize repair time.

>>15084008
you do realize that the second ship has more of an influence on exp right?
read the wiki
gensui is shit because of ranking for your information

>>15084006
I bet you do 24 boss encounters at 1-1 too

>>15084010
It literally doesn't. I can post a screenshot in a few hours to prove it. It's usually around 500 exp. That's slightly better than a single 3-2 run and usually a lot harder and more expensive.

>>15084011
What fucking rank should I be then? I thought I should aim as high as possible. Also i am Taishou.

>>15083979
lolno
You just do EOs for the medals

Gensui here and half the fleets I face have at least one of the first 2 ships being married.

>>15083991
Fuck off Ooi, nobody would listen to you anymore after what you did to pyon.

Bisko gun or proto 41 for todays improvement?

>>15084020
>>15066666

>>15084016
I sparkle like 5-9 ships daily why wouldn't I.
Only 5-4 benefits you if you aren't stockpiling at the moment.

>>15084018
Learn to observe your server.
Each one is different.

>>15084022
41 is improvable every day while 38 kai is on 3 days
Do what you feel you need more.

>>15084018

>Not using glorious Kashima

There's your problem.

>>15083995
Boo fucking hoo, you get 500 base exp instead of 600, what a catastrophe.

>>15084018
>not S ranking that kind of fleet
:^)

>>15084019
Nahh I am also gensui most of my pvp fleets flag is dupe dragons or kita ooi.

>>15084029
>>15084031
No, S rank exp. Base exp is even lower.

Last thread some asshole claimed he made 800 exp on average. What is up with that? I make 500 exp on average if I am lucky and get 5 S ranks. And that requires me to constantly change fleets and equipment to actually be effective against what my opponent has. Grinding 3-2 is faster and more resource effecient than that.

If the shitty fleets I get keep up I will just skip PvP completely past the weekly quest for the screw.

>>15084026
I am on Hashirajima Anchorage(in b4 memes). The only server that had open space when I started earlier this year.

>>15084026
Guess I'll go for 41 if stock Bisko guns are enough for hotels in combined

>>15084033
Server? Hitokappu here since the server's creation and I've only ever encountered one faggot with two level 1 ships. Everyone else I've met is pretty nice like that.

>>15084036
I wanted to start in 2014 and ended up in Saiki Bay, so I don't really give a shit about that. If you want better PvP experience learn how your server operates. Or just say fuck it and take the exp on small ships regardless if a win or not.

>>15084036
That asshole was using Kashima and Katori or outright lying, the difference from having two level 120s and that fleet with a level 60 flagship is less than 100 exp and you can beat that fleet with 6DD easily.

>>15084036

I wasn't lying. Two ships of a decent level (both 60+) will pull in that much. I use a level 96 Kashima though, which boosts my experience gain. Katori is easily craftable now so even if you're missing Kashima there's no reason not to have at least Katori. Training cruisers are love.

>>15084006
I don't know what the gensui cut off rank is since server population is not public information but senka.me shows rank 990 as gensui on all servers, ~900 pts.

EOs alone are worth 705 points, counting in the points you get while clearing the maps puts you at around 750. 2 weeks of dailies and weeklies will easy make up the rest.

>>15084036
>Hashirajima
The memes have some truth to it. That server reeks of faggots.

>>15084045

I only use one.

How do I tell my girls not to get hit by Ta before we reach the boss at 4-5?

>>15084049
Not all rank 990s are Gensui. Cutoff for Gensui for most servers is around 800-900 points though, unless you're in some super old server.

>>15084056
Level them up more.

>>15084056
You can't.

>>15084059
My Haguro is lv92 and she still hasn't learned.

>>15084062
63 more levels to go until she understands.

>>15084062
Aim for level 155.

>>15084062
Get her to 96-155 then.
4-5 don't give a fuck about what level your ships are.
You either get lucky and get to last kill in 4 sorties or it can take more than 10.
Last kill on that map is another story of a similar narrative.
Or you could get better taste.

>>15084066
I'm pretty sure Haguro is too young for marriage.

Haguro is actually older than Ashigara.

>>15084088
I don't know why you'd spend resources on 1-6. If it's XP were more in line with 1-5 DDs wouldn't be as painful to level. Such a shitty map.

>>15084088
How does that work? If you use lv 1 unremodeled unmodernized ships you can still get through 1-6?

>>15084096
Because a half BB refuel worth of ammo/fuel has any impact. That's just a fucking shitty excuse fodder fags came up with trying to save their last bit of self-esteem

>>15084097
Pretty much. Only the 2nd and 3rd nodes do any damage. A single damcon on the flag lets you advance to the resource node if it's taiha.

>>15084101
>implying I had any when I started playing
Nobody posting on /jp/ has any for that matter.

>>15083935
If she ever gets into the game I want tons of jokes of having too many siblings.

>>15084097

1 flag, 5 fodder, the goal is just to let them eat damage and/or sink. You aren't there to kill off everything, you just need to survive to reach the final resource node.

>>15084096

DDs use very little in the first place, I don't know why you'd scum it up and sink ships just to save yourself a tiny amount of fuel and ammo. And for those precious few points of ammo and fuel you'll forever be kuso. Way to go, admiral.

>>15084104
fun fact you even get the fuel/ammo back from the ships that sink!

>>15084110
I'd rather take 50% fuel/ammo from scrapping. Takes far less time than throwing DDs into 5-5.

Top five yasen power DDs for this year's spring event:
Yuudachi 166 (73+93)
Kawakaze 165 (69+96)
Shimakaze 158 (59+99)

>>15084130

>>15084130
>D rank
Literally git gud and if you cared about ranks you wouldn't be sinking ships either.

So,it is likely that the first few event map will award the land-fighting plane, then at the second last map it will be a fairly hard installation boss accompanied by a few turrets which requires you to use the newly acquired planes?

>>15084115
it's good for BB/CVs

>>15084144
Clearing the event will be easier than clearing world 6.

>>15084145
Not at the point where I have no better use for capital ships than sinking them for resources.

>>15084149

And after clearing the event 6-4 would be easier.

Newbie TTK here.

Damn you guys should have told me earlier about this. After I saw the difficulty stars of 1-6 and I wasn't even able to finish 2-5 last month I thought there is no way I could beat 1-6 so I didn't even try. I could have gotten the present box last month too.

This tactic is perfect. I can literally complete 1-6 with level 1 ships. I am so damn happy right now.

Why doesn't the wiki list the strategy on the sortie page? This is FAR better than using some AACI setup with Isuzu or Kasumi K2B (which I both don't have).

We all know how easy 1-6 is with fodder DDs. I stop using it once I got enough levels on my DDs since it affects my winrate.

What's wrong with using that tactic though? I would have scrapped the girls anyways so it's not lime I am harming them.

Also I don't have another option. There is no way I could complete this with my regular fleet. My highest DD is level 34.

And seriously, why doesn't the wiki mention it? It's a real good piece of information, they should include it.

Too proud to (and really no reason to either). The only place where fodder tactics are mentioned are on 5-3, and even then it's pretty hush hush.

When I switched to kuso fleet I got 1k fuel. Fuck doing this shitty map with good ships, it doesn't deserve their presence. With good ships there's a chance of catching taiha on the way. With kuso fleet it's easy 7/7 and above average gains.

>There is no room for sentimentality in war
The very action of playing kancolle is an act of sentimentality to begin with, you should be enlisting to the navy and coldbloodedly gutting gooks like a real man in war.

I only have 15 above that mark.

>>15084261
Well she was 74, the level 44 Kitakami dodged perfectly fine in the fifth attempt. I'm lead to believe rng didn't want me to sleep when I wanted to, since it misses the times where 2-3 made me stay up for 2 hours before getting that last transport. Anyway, finished scrapping shit so I can finally sleep.

>>15084245
From my logs this month. I did 1-5 23times and I run it with 2DD BB CVL.

It is a place to level up your CLs and DDs while completing EO. Sure you can still do it with fodders but why waste exp. If your DDs have decent level they usually only receive scratch damage when doing 1-6.

>>15084320
>pay fuel and ammo, and pay for the repairs on 5 level 99 DD's and 1 level 99 CL
>projecting this far

Not many people have fully leveled everything, and that guy who was doing 1-6 certainly won't have everything at level 99 any time soon.

>>15084337
>3 nodes 600 exp on a lucky roll at 1-6
>3 nodes 900+exp consistently at 3-2

>>15084337
The exp is utter shit and risk of taiha is high. I'd rather send them to 3-2-A or 5-1.

>>15084337
Except it has piss poor levelling rates. 1-5 is miles better even at HQ 80+ and that's saying a lot. And by the point he gets to that HQ level he should have unlocked 5-1 or at least 4-3 anyway.

Better to clear 1-6 with fodder and use the resources you would have used at 1-6 if you had sortied with non-fodder DDs/CLs, to level said non-fodder elsewhere instead.

This is objectively the best 1-6 composition.

How do I level DDs and CLs? I tried to farm 4-3 but I just kept on getting destroyed. Is there a better place or am I doing something wrong?

>>15084369
yes

>>15084369
3-2

>>15084369
You're doing something awfully wrong but yes, there are better places. 5-1 is the best. 4-1 and 3-2-A are pretty good. 1-5 is good below HQ80.

>>15084369
Try 5-1-D.

>>15084369
5-1, you can get destroyed and refresh every 30 minutes instead.

>>15084350

Why are you mentioning 3-2 when it is not related to the topic? You know that you can do both 3-2 and 1-6 right? Sure exp in 1-6 is lower, what I mean is that since you gotta complete 1-6 every month anyway, might as well use it to the fullest. It is like ~7 runs and then you are done. Nobody is saying that you can't level your DDs at 3-2.

>>15084373
>5-1

WHY?

>>15084353
>>15084357

>risk of taiha is high

That is what you get for not bringing Akizuki. Also even without Akizuki the risk of taiha at 3-2 is higher.

>>15084377
OR you could pay no fuel and ammo, and use that at literally any other map
>b-but i have 300,000 resources

>>15084378
Because you can do more at the same time and it still sucks
4-3 works for equipment farming while leveling a DD.
5-4 you can do just about every weekly except kill x boss ones.

>>15084386
It's the amount of resources you get from 1 sparkled exp 5.
If you want to min/max that every month then so be it but seriously it is not needed.

>>15084386

Implying the only resources we are concerned about are fuel/ammo. Fodder run is not guaranteed since your flagship can get taiha'd. You can use those time for the extra run to do something else. Or you can just use non-fodder and done with it quickly.

Pffft.
The risk of it happening is much lower than elite DD catching taiha on air node.
You're completely wrong. It's fodder fleet that has higher chance of success.

>>15084403

You are talking about resources and yet you somehow think that taiha won't cost extra resources? Jesus look at what you've wrote.

>>15084386
Time is a resource.

>>15084406

>>15084422
Setting up AACI and the rest of your ships costs time

>>15084414

Well taiha usually happens at the aerial node. You are a generous man if you choose to continue and waste one damecon on a fodder.

>>15084415

So I am guessing your Akizuki, Teruzuki and Hatsuzuki all are already at level 99?

>>15084424
>In the last 6 months i haven't gotten taiha fs at the airstrike node even once

Keep telling yourself that. Maybe you might actually think it is true.

>>15084416
You're more likely to get taiha at the closing torp phase at the third node of 1-6 with non-fodder 1 CL 5 DD than at the opening torp phase at 5-1-D or even the first node of 1-5 with the same fleet. Taking taiha out of the equation was actually in 1-6's favour, and even then it was still the worst choice.

>>15084431
I use >>15084365
Flagship MVP is the only spot in whole fleet that has not-pathetic exp gain, also a free sparkle.
But yes, Akizuki is already 99. Anyway, Duck usually protects fodder on air node pretty well and the fodder protects the Duck on next node by not dying in shelling and tanking torps.

>>15084430
It should be default on your DDs anyway, especially AA-only specialists. Obviously you don't use cut-in DDs when even standard ones will do.

>>15084434
I've only gotten 1 taiha at the airstrike node since the map has been introduced.
I refuse to sink a ship at all.

>>15084437

I am not saying that 1-6 is a good place to farm exp. I am not retarded enough to think that 1-6 is superior than 3-2 or 5-1 to farm exp. What I am saying is that there is no reason to waste exp by using fodder when your fleet is strong enough since your gotta go there at least 7 times a month. Once you are done, you don't have to go back to 1-6 for that month and can go to 3-2 or 5-1 or wherever else you wish to level your DDs and CLs.

>>15084441

Seems decent. And the fodders survived.

Why are you arguing against me if you think that we can do whatever the fuck we want? Unless you think that leveling ships while doing 1-6 to conserve energy and time is somehow the only thing that I shouldn't do?

And "taiha usually happens at aerial node" is indeed true if you forgot to bring any AA. Third node closing torp is not a problem if your fleet is strong enough to kill ~5 of the enemy ships consistently, which is why I said it is good only when you have a decent fleet.

>>15084472

>>15084396
can you give me your setup?

>>15084472
>waste exp
It's not a waste if the returns just aren't worth it. And here the fuel/ammo used is nowhere near worth the exp gained; a single 5-1-D run alone gives more than whatever 1-6 can give.

There's a saying that if Bill Gates dropped a $50 dollar note he'd lose more money by spending the time to pick it up because he earned over $10k a minute as CEO of Microsoft. Same applies here.

>>15084490
What do you take against subs while trying to grant flagship MVP, that is your answer.

>>15084493
The cost of doing 1-6 each month is like Bill Gates dropping a nickel.
The amount of exp is like Bill Gates finding 4 pennies on the ground.
Both are so minuscule that no one should give a shit.

It is more like Bill Gates has to drop a nickel at least 7 times a month, by finding 4 pennies on the ground every time he dropped a nickel will at least minimize his inevitable loss to 1 penny. But yeah I get your point.

>>15084507

He has a point too though :^)

>>15084493

I just use my preset from 3-5 to do my 1-6. It saves me a lot of time arranging another fleet of fodder or changing setup. I have no idea how efficient/ineffecient it is but it gets the job done fast and clean so I never change the way I do it.

>>15084365
Some people just cant accept it even when face with the facts. It is just like how 4SS 2DD is objectively the best composition for 5-3.

How is testing your rng supposed to be considered as a "challenge"? It's more of a stress simulator/test of patience or remaining buckets. NB nodes usually consist of either your fleet getting taiha'd/chuuha'd or vice versa for the enemy fleet.

I don't advance with any taihas during sorties either, so I'm under the mercy of shit routing/rng.

>>15084565
Sucking dicks is supposed to be wrong, but that won't stop me from doing it.

>>15084500
>Both are so minuscule that no one should give a shit.
But you just admitted there is a difference. And to an autist like many of the ones here, that's more than enough reason to give a shit, to conclude that sending non-fodder 1 CL 5 DD to 1-6 isn't worth it.

Daihatsu is a boat, and our shipgirls are ships.

>bringing carrier to PvP

>>15085628
If you look at the image carefully, you will see that Hayasui was the flagship and not Kashima. Flagship has a bonus to exp so it's good when flagship grabs MVP. Just so you know, MVP goes to ship who dealt the most damage.

>>15085603
In PvP, if ship is not dead show its HP as 2. Pretty much.

>>15085642
But if it's at 1HP why show it as 2?

>>15085640

Might as well just bring a BBV which will be more effective.

>>15085647
Because a ship health can be 1hp+ some fractions. It's essentially just information to the user and nothing else. Or just floor it to 1 and user knows it's dead.

>>15085656
No, she wouldn't. BB is only there for second shelling. I want levels on Mutsu more than on Ise. Are you really unable to comprehend that?

>>15085659
>Because a ship health can be 1hp+ some fractions.

No it can't.

>>15085659
But HP values are stored as integers.

>>15085666
>>15085667
All right I stand corrected.

But why the fuck does not 1hp in PvP always mean that that the ship is out of it? Is it because the system does not support showing enemy fleet at 0hp?

>>15085665

I get that you want to level Mutsu, and you need second shelling from a BB. But saying a BBV is not more effective than bringing BB is simply untrue. They can hit subs which give you 2 more chance to kill a sub. So if you want to inform me on how much you wanna level Mutsu the first sentence is outright unnecessary.

>>15085683
The way it works is like this:
In PvP, ship HP cannot *visually* fall below 1. 2/X HP would mean that the ship has 2 HP left without doubt, but 1/X HP could either mean that the ship has 1 HP or 0 HP, as the 0 is "rounded up" and displayed as 1.

>>15085683

Because 0hp means the ship sank. If you wanna know whether the enemy ship in PvP is at 1 hp or already dead, you can use BattleInfo in KCV.

>>15085640

You don't have to patronize me, I know how MVP works. But clearly your equipment and/or ship setup is questionable when you can't even handle a few subs with no saiun. I'd rather guarantee an S rank and let someone else take MVP than gimp yourself intentionally just so fastsuck can get an extra few hundred exp at the risk of not even being able to kill the enemy fleet.

>>15085727
I do, because you completely fail to understand the situation.
The risk was only in red T and with bad rolls. Risk I'm willing to take.

Of course I can sortie BBV with Seiran + 3 autogyro and four slotters full of upgraded T3/4 ASW but Hayasui is the one who needs exp the most. Where did you even get the idea I was asking for advice?
Why am I explaining it in so much detail?

>>15085829
Fair enough.

>>15085889
Unless a ship is married with the original CG, never believe them.

>>15085882
I see but how do we calculate the points? There's still 13 days left.
>>15085886
Tbh all I have ever wanted is a Zuiun 12 (634).
.

>>15085906
He can't know that but he can estimate. Top 5 is an endurance race where people gain points until 6th place and lower are out of reach and/or give up

>>15085928
Next month is event so they will actually tryhard to get those juicy top 5 rewards I think. I'm only a lucker dog in this mess for the first time ever so yea I want to know more.

>>15085989
Well good luck then. I think there's a slight chance for NEET zuiun this month but I bet it's just more BB guns since they really seem to want their tryhard players to buy those screws.

What if...
They give tank as the ranking reward this month

>>15085906
>a zuiun 12 (634)

Why? It's not that better than zuiun12

>>15086022
It's going to be something related to the event and Tanaka said you wont need them until you really need it. If what he says is true, then it will be something related to Iowa that is not her gun, something to help out with a map or the land based bomber.

>>15086033
itemdex

>>15086037
I bet the first land based bombers are basic enough to to just be developable without any amazing stats

Just wait for Ise-class Kai 2.

Zara Kai Ni when? She desperately needs one

>>15086062
After Kumano Kai 2.

>>15086062
And I need Zara

>>15086051
Right after the jets then? Cool!

>>15086062
>Kai Ni
It's going to be Zara Due, yes it sounds dumb and not as cool as Zwei or Mk.2.

>>15086073
Mk.2 is Kai.

>Implying nips know shit about those things

May I remind you that Bismarck had Kai first and then Zwei as well as the kraut DDs. They are too dumb to realize Mk. 2 is Kai so expect Iowa Kai Ni to be named Mk. 2

>>15086078
>>15086082
Explain how it works for Lebe.

>>15086095
Unlike with English, you can do shit like that with German because it still sounds cool to anyone who doesn't speak German. The Japanese on the other hand have been in collaboration with weapon systems and manufacturing with the US since WW2 ended so they should be able to find out very easily.

Now really? I want some of what you are smoking, must be quite good.

Yea thanks.
>>15086033
I'm a fairyfucker.
U never think that will actually wreck Ru/Ta, do you? Same logic applies here.

>>15086110
Ah, you silly autismos and your obsession over details. Thanks for the keks mate

>>15086118
That's her 5-4 setup? Do you deal anything with airstrike assuming other carriers have something similar?

>>15086118
If you have a taihou there is no reason to stockpile bauxite

>>15086137
Akitsu farming is suffering.

>>15086137
It's almost as if farming Maruyu and Akitsu Maru costs bauxite or something.

...and this. There you go. 3CV and conserve baux. Not much aerial strike damage though..
>>15086137
I'm ranking top 20 so yea pretty much that.

>>15086148
>>15086158
Why the fuck are you using spoilers?

you could have posted all of that in one image you know

>>15086148
>46 slot Saiun

Why?

>>15086148
Thank you. Splendid lv 155 ship.
DD flag with Mogami or Mogami as drum mule with CA?

>>15086172
Scouting is important, you don't want get Midway'd.

>>15086118
>>15086148
>>15086158
Fighters in big slot use just as much bauxite as bombers in big slot. Stop with that retarded setup

>>15086172
not him
the reason is to not lose as many planes. but i'm not sure why he's using kaga, instead of something like katsuragi
kaga's level 155 ffs she doesn't need exp

>>15086162
>>15086168
>not disabling spoiler function

>>15086177
No, they don't you retard. Fighters aren't affected by AA fire.

>>15086162
Because muh 46slot saiun.
>>15086168
Oh I'm still new here.
>>15086172
See.
>>15086174
2DDs.
>>15086177
Stop being dumb, thank you.

>>15086185
Slot size doesn't matter for AA fire

>>15086185
Have you even played the game in the last 6 months?

>>15086178
>she doesn't need exp
Oh look, this retarded argument again.

>>15086189
Oh, makes sense with all those OTO on carriers.

Well you see, if Kaga hadn't appeared back then I would have quitted this game. Because I sunk 1(one) girl. And then I saw these fuckers in /jp/ talk about sinking girls like eating lunch so I kept silence until today. But then again I am one of them so I can't do shit. Afterall /jp/ is a perfect hellhole for me.

>>15086252
I mean, THE perfect trashcan for me to live within.

I just need kirishima for my 4th slot
RNG-sama please spare me

>>15086252
>>15086267
We don't sink girls, we only sink trash dupe fodder DDs. Learn the difference.
