is 2 wg42 enough for 幼稚園 mode or should I keep farming? which is more important to get after that, akitsumaru or akizuki?

2 CAVs for E-2/3, 2 CAVs (best ones) for E-5 and 2 CAVs for E-6

I used Mogami-class instead of Tone-class as my E-5 hard CAVs, and in 10-15 sorties with full route and boss shelling support I haven't been able to get licorice to even the Taiha equivalent. Should I just give up and go medium/kusomode on E-5 so I have a chance of getting through E-6 or at least E-7 on Hard?

If it helps:
-Pic related is the current fleet, with the CAVs armed with 2x20.3cm, 1xZuiun 12 and a Sanshiki and all DDs except Akizuki armed with 2xducky guns + WG42. None of the equipment is upgraded.
-I haven't used Tone and Chikuma yet, but I've already used Suzuya and Kumano and I know I need at least one CAV for E-6. Apart from Yuudachi, Kawakaze, Ooshio and Kasumi, I've already committed all my Kai II and/or Elite DDs.
-Of the two air base supports, the first is 1 x Type 52 (601) + 3 x Ryuusei Kai, and I either hit nodes C and L with it or hit node L twice.
-The second is 1 x Iwamoto Type 52 + 3 x land-based bombers, which I focus on the boss node.
-as you can see I'm still very okay on resources, but I'd like to farm easy for Oyashio and Harukaze before going for E-7 clear, and I've heard E-6 is absolutely terrible.

>>15193658

You need CAVs for E-2+E-3 and E-5 and you need to distribute your tank DDs properly.

>>15193674

CAVs aren't needed on E6.

>>15193676
CAVs go on the bottom.

This keeps happening, I think I'll only beat this map if I get an S rank.

>>15193685
>>15193687
I did that before, but usually there are enough of the boss node fodder around that they get taiha'd before they have a chance to fire. I could switch them again, but I doubt there would be a very significant different.

>>15193692
So I can do E-6 hard even if I go full kuso on E-5?

>>15193657
it's not like I'm going to be doing lsc during the event. will I be more stuck without anti-air for e5 or akitsumaru for e6?

So have people actually gotten a second Yuu after that maintenance? I only have one.

I am incredibly retarded, how do you set up your land base squadrons for E7? Thanks.

>>15193676
Are you using route support? I did with almost same setup apart from +10 levels average and upgraded equipment. This map is all about support and if it fails or you roll red T at boss you don't really stand a chance.

I used a land bomber group +1 fighter for L node once and set everything else to boss node. With decent luck you'll take down the enemy DDs at the boss node before your boss shelling support arrives greatly increasing your chances to take down the enemy BB. Go for hankou cap on BB and CV for boss support. Doukou cap with as much accuracy as possible for route support. Sparkling doesn't matter, the biggest problem with this map is getting critted, mostly from enemy torps or air node

>>15193692
E5 clear is required to activate E6 debuff gimmick

So got 3 S ranks on L node E-6. What else did I need to do to debuff Central Hime?

Did I use the wrong planes or something?
They only did like 80 damage in the opening strike.

>>15193736
Read last thread.

>>15193721
Yes, 2BB2CVL2DD route support all day every day. But my equipment isn't upgraded, so maybe that's what it is. I originally threw both support air groups at the boss node, but I kept on being forced to retreat by torps at the preboss node so I switched one squadron to supporting that instead.

>>15193742
They didn't target the boss. Better luck next time.

>>15193431
How hard is this event? Could you easily clear it all on hard the last week?

Daihatsu are literally useless on any map except E-2.
Funny how they gave us the ultimate anti-installation weapons and then don't even make use of it with all these installation bosses.

>>15193768
If devs make you suffer and cry, then they get a promotion. That's how KC world works.

Is it better to use aerial support for installations or is shelling still better? And if so is the comp 4CV/2DD or something different?

>>15193762
I did E5 in 4hours and E6 in about 8hours.

>>15193745
Upgrading equipment does not do anything for support. I'd say the support is most important for E5. How is yous working for you? If you have a proper setup you should be getting relatively steady results with only issue being sub node and air battle node. Here's mine for all runs for reference. You can pretty much tell how the rest of the fight went just by looking how well the support did its job.

Is there an estimate on just what is the chance to go from Node M to boss or not..?

I am trying to just finish E-6 already and this is extremely frustrating

Yes.
First node you need 480+, you need that.

>>15193936
I mean shelling support*

>>15193935
AP shell has no effect in support, you are using 2 guns on DDs when they wont do anything significant, if you do want to use Yamato, at least give her 3 radars since she reaches cap very easily.

>>15193943
As far as I can tell, I could achieve AS+ for every node

Yes it does.

>>15194223
They'll get tagged anyway, so when you up the difficulty on later maps you'll find yourself conveniently incapable of sending out the ships you used in earlier maps.

>>15194270
I see. I don't get AP in any node because my CAVs don't have slots big enough, so I was wondering if a CVL would be good. I think I will just slap the night scout and a scout seaplane.

>>15194279
You really, really, really want to avoid Ri-class CA double attacks at Node I though (a CVL shows up to ruin your life during Last Dance). Air parity is the key to preventing that. After that, it doesn't matter that you get air denial at the boss, since nothing can double attack in the day there, and you're likely going to have to finish her off during the night battle anyway.

If you don't have enough slots, what are you using? Suzuya/Kumano? I used Mogami + Kumano and that was enough for air parity at node I. (With max-ranked / near max-ranked Zuiun Model 12s / 634 Air Group Zuiuns, obviously.)

Translation if you don't speak moon:

It's a guide for farming the F node on E-2.

Conditions for going to node F: 1 or more CL, 2 or more DDs, no BBs, no CVs.

Key drops (S Rank Victory): Maruyu, Amatsukaze, Akizuki, Harusame, Terzuki, Arashi, Isokaze

Average resource burn (with this set-up, I assume): 90 fuel, 125 ammo, 0-2 buckets.

Enemy spawns: BB/CA/CA/DD/DD, or BB/BB/CVL/CVL/DD/DD (I don't think this is Hard, probably Easy)



Popular set-ups (player):
CL flag - Gun, gun, scout, radar. Abukuma also viable, something about 3 torpedoes (what?). Ooyodo or Yuubari, radar for evasion(?). If 3-slot CL, drop the radar.
CLT - Type A thingy, gun, gun. Something about I don't think you'll need that many torpedoes (I assume he means for night battle).
CLT - As above.
DD - Gun, gun, radar. AACI recommended, because enemy CVLs. Radar for evasion.
DD - As above.

Don't take land bomber to D node when you are farming. My plane just got wiped out, just use them to sortie reppuu.

Don't forget to unequip all of your land planes before the event ends so they don't all go poof when Tanaka fucks up.

Yes, those two with maxed two Model 12. I haven't paid attention to the game's warning of AI, but aircalc says I can't reach AP. When there is no text it's AP, right? Gonna pay attention next time.

Support has been pretty great most of the time, taking 2~3 enemies in most nodes, but my fleet usually gets wrecked by a surviving torpedo or the boss' opening air strike.

Also, place your bets. Can she do it, lads?

>>15194373
Bwahahahaha....drat

>>15194376
E7D for Oyashio of course.
Even in kuso mode, both node need like 500+ for AS+ I think. This is going to be expensive.

>>15194377
Nay

>>15194385
Why not bring your Ryuuseis?

>>15194377
Take Ro.44.

Well then, what did the trick for you guys for E6 last dance?

Also, probably a comp that doesnt involve gnashing of teeth as I watch the fleet not move to the boss node and wasting more fuel and ammo

Should I just do that 2CV lineup even though it has less dive bomber output and hope for the best?

>>15194394
Try making a Tanaka shrine.

>>15194394
>it has less dive bomber output and hope for the best?
Someone made Central Hime sink that way from the last thread, it works. That's what I'm going to do too.

>>15194389
I expected better from >> land bombers but they were shit. Maybe they only get bonus damage against installation.

Surface or Aerial support for E2?

>>15194153
That's enough to make her a best, filthy statfag.

>>15194388
She missed the imp, but at least dodged and didn't cost me another bucket.
This map is getting expensive, I'm already 80 buckets in it.

>>15194391
Why them? I only have Ro.43, but I could upgrade them.

Welp, can confirm what this post said >>15192017

- 10 transports
- 14 subs
- 3 S ranks at L node

Once I did that I got the Masaka.

>>15194441
Was away for a bit. Yeah, I think no text is AP. I didn't bring Akizuki (had Mutsuki with AACI set-up due to very stupid reasons) but that helps with the planes. Are Daihatsus / WG42s stacked on Mutsuki + Satsuki?

I think I burned close to a 100 buckets on E-2, if not more. Hell, I suspect E-3 + E-4 combined wasn't nearly as many buckets.

>>15194446
I know probably you don't know yet, but will it get reset every day?

>>15194446
I want to believe, but has damage output increased significantly after the マサカ? Or is it still roll of the dice?

>>15194441
Because it's cheap to upgrade.

>>15194452

I have no idea. In fact, I don't even know if the masaka is just a perverse idea from the devs to make us all belive in a placebo. Anyway, on to a second try, let's see if it shows up again.

>>15194455

The problem is that my CVs decided to go full retard and aimed at anyone but Central Hime. Air support did land 400 damage.

>>15194420
I got a lucky roll with surface that killed all 3 PT imps and knocked the artillery imps into the yellow, but I suspect aerial might give a better spread that kills off the PT imps more effectively. Not that I have the evidence to back that statement up, because I don't want to go back to that hell and experiment.

>>15194455
The damage output should increase, but you're still rolling a dice because you want your dive bombers to make it past all those aerial phases and hit Central Hime herself.

>>15194446
I've S ranked A 5 times, G 5 times, and L 3 times today after the dailies reset. No masaka here.

>>15194465
>>15194468
Sigh. Devs could have given us a more obvious clue, like colours changing or hats disappearing.

>>15194467
It's been known for a while aerial support is spread out damage.

Do you guys bring FCF too E3 ? or just accept the taiha and retreat ?

This is my setup. I only have one WG42 for now so I gave it to Yuubari. Should I really give it to one of the DDs? I got really close to clearing, with the boss escaping with 82 hp because my the CL targeted a pillbox.
On the other hand, the number of times I had half a fleet of taiha before night battle are high.

Switched planes because Model 12 got crushed.

I forgot to include land base air raid, basically fighters that can reach the boss at 100% efficiency (Reppuu for Carrier Task Force route, Type 21 Zero Fighter for Surface Combat route), 2 fighters on first squadron so they can destroy more of Aircraft Carrier Princess' planes, and all the strong land based bombers on the third squadron.

>>15194486
Grabacr a shit.

>>15194486
Is 6 range like Iwamoto enough?

>>15194460
How are the preboss nodes with that comp? I've been stuck at last dance for hours now with 4DD2CAV and i'm losing my sanity.

>>15194486
So the blue node doesn't count towards the range right?

>>15194501
>>15194492

im not sure if it counts or not, but I wouldnt risk it and just use the Type 21

>>15194483
You can just give Yuubari double main guns instead of yellow ones. She's a CL so she shouldn't have problems killing the imps even with main guns.

Yes, you can give the WG42 to a DD for maximum overcrit. I think the only reason most people give WG42s to their 4-slot CLs is because they have 2 or more anyway, and they want the firepower to stack. I have none, so I was playing RNG Simulator 2016 every single run.

If you do give the WG42 to a DD, you can always stack night battle equipment on your CL instead.

I chucked a searchlight on Ooyodo in an attempt to draw fire away from my CAVs while providing a damage bonus to my ships at night. It kind of helped (although on my clear the boss hit a CAV anyway, but they were both in the green and even then the one she hit only went down to orange health).

>>15194501
Every node counts, expect future events to have empty nodes because fuck you.

>>15194508
How could he use reppuus if they counted? The shortest path would be 6 then.

>>15194496
You divert down to see 2 Rus and a CVL but with route support it should be fine. Roma and Italia attack first too

>>15193431
>Bofors
>new
Not this shit again.

>>15194496
And apparently the trick to doing huge land-bombing damage is to reduce the AA capabilities so stacking 3-4 blues and aiming the boss node doesn't really do anything

I stacked 4 greens in the first base and 3 land-bombers + 1 green in the second base and 4x clicked the final node. The land bombing is way better that way

>>15194163

STILL ONLY GETTING A and F node FUCK this map.

>>15194520
I went 3 bombers + 1 fighter on each and they managed to taiha the transport and kill a DD

>>15194512

It already says that it's for farming in 丙 mode.

>something about 3 torpedoes (what?)
Refers to torpedo stat. Equip 3 pieces of equipment that give torp stat. (At least one should be midget sub but you should know this already.)

>radar for evasion(?)
If you're just farming node F, you can go either A-C-E-F or A-C-D-F. Radar is for minimising losses at the maelstrom.

>Something about I don't think you'll need that many torpedoes
As in their torp stat is already high enough (assuming Kitakami/Ooi) so you can increase their shelling damage with 2 guns instead.

>AS(?)
AS+.
(Speaking of which, that guide should also have put the fighter after the torpedo bombers, not before.)

This was too close, Tone didn't fail me and targeted the boss. Also all the damage came from Aerial support, CVs with 3 red + 1 green with 3 Type 0s mixed in there. DDs with full radars. My placebo was to stop recording my runs, guess my ships are camera shy.

>>15194727

Route D>F 50 times before killing yourself to unlock the ability to go to boss

Seriously though I'm probably going to get banned for refreshing instead of putting up with wasting bauxite and buckets going to F node at this rate.

You definitely need route support. I used double fighters(T2 + Ro44) on Tone Roma, Italia had a nightplane. You get AS and this way and AP at boss

You can technically add reppuus to one base and send one strike out onto node E, and gain AS with just one Zuiun on Tone but it hurts your boss kill. You get to the boss with a higher rate obviously with the air support

It's better if enemies are in line ahead than double line because they have lower accuracy. The Wolocaust was death because it was all double line.
