Kancolle Kai 4: The Day the Pasta became superior.

[Kasu]

Well that's interesting. I wonder if we'll ever see any Canadian ships though. That'd be neat, haha.

[Fetch()tirade]

AVs are extremely niche, I wonder why they went with her. Not that I'm hating or anything, but she does seem like an odd pick while there are other more famous foreign ships, even within just the French navy cough quad turrets cough

[MewMewHeart]

Oooooh French ship yes!

[Totaku]

Anyways we now have a date for the event now set!

The Event will be set for11/18/2016! So now you have a date, time to make last minute preparations!

In addition, they noted that the American Carrier that's coming to the game has a Unique, Large Smokestack Chimmney.

With this known... there are only two carriers that meet this requirement.

One was severely damaged out in the Coral Sea helping take out Shouhou and being attack by Japanese bombers resulting in her being scuttled.

The other will live on and survive the war to end up as a test subject for Nuclear testing....

Take a guess which one of these two will make the cut?

I heard that

Spoiler:

Lexington

is the most probable, but, and correct me if I'm wrong, don't the events usually represent a battle that took place during that season in question, meaning that it'll be

Spoiler:

Saratoga

instead?

[Hikarin]

I'm very new to KanColle (HQ4), so I figured it wouldn't hurt to pop in here and ask a question:

How good is Sendai? She has two reconstructions, so I assume that she's good, but given my luck I expect her to be some kind of a niche. Also, what's the deal with her and night battles?

[qMyon]

Sendai is a nice light cruiser. Anything with a Kai 2 is usually pretty good once leveled to that point. Also, her Kai 2 comes packaged with a set of very powerful night equipment.

The night battle thing is because the real Sendai's major engagements were pretty much all at night. In-game, it doesn't change much except personality and the equipment she gets at Kai 2.

[Gpop]

She comes with some really good and pretty necessary night battle equipment that'll make your life a bit easier for them, so she'll definitely be necessary to get those equips when you K2 her.

[Totaku]

The KanColle Festival de Beaujolais Nouveau and the Reveal of the French Ship Girl!

As you probably know last night, the KanColle Festival de Beaujolais Nouveau Wine Festival took place last night and people got a chance to go attend the show. Most people got to listen to a piano recital with Kancolle music being played there and they got to sample some wine and enjoy thier time. This place also served as the main focal point in which the French Ship girl who is ALSO going to appear this event was revealed!
The wine bottles that people got came with a sticker of the ship girl in question who can be seen here....

It was revealed through a voice record during the Piano recital as the ship girl in question introduced herself during the festival revealing herself to be the French Seaplane Tender Commandant Teste!

Outside of that people who payed for tickets got a wine glass and some also got a Pola Clear file as shown here.


You can fine a full report of the event here if you're curious about the entire thing.

So as a final check up how is everyone event wise?
I think on them most part I should be good.

[Kasu]

So, uh... I only realized last week that apparently my cap for resources at the moment is 300k. I think I'm good for the event, haha. At least I should be assuming work doesn't get in the way.

HERE'S HOPING ROMA SHOWS UP AGAIN. ROMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

[MewMewHeart]

CAPTAIN I THINK I'M SCREWED!!!! We have to do emergency exped maneuvers!

[Fetch()tirade]

Based Yoshinori

[Kasu]

Based Yoshinori

You're tellin' me. She looks freaking awesome.

On that note, Yamakaze looks adorable as well.

[Rotten]

I was thinking of going Normal for this one, but now that the time has come I don't have the confidence for it. Got a bunch of unmodernized Kai Ni ships and only 30k resources in Fuel, Ammo, and Bauxite.

I'll go Easy this time around and Normal next.

[Zengar Zombolt]

Ahh. So this is it. The feeling of ｢Victory｣.

[Kasu]

Alright, I've beaten E-1 and E-2 so far and I even got lucky on my first E-2 kill and dropped Yamakaze. Next up is E-3 which apparently has an enemy combined fleet at the boss, so... that'll be an experience.

[Rotten]

Ahh. So this is it. The feeling of ｢Victory｣.

I wonder how her stats will be.

Has to be good, right?

[Kasu]

I'm now convinced that you haven't truly felt alive until you've S-Ranked the entirety of an Abyssal combined boss fleet. E-3 is insanity incarnate and it feels so good.

[Zengar Zombolt]

I'm now convinced that you haven't truly felt alive until you've S-Ranked the entirety of an Abyssal combined boss fleet. E-3 is insanity incarnate and it feels so good.

It might feel good at times,  but there's nothing more frustrating than going into night battle and having to fight the enemy escort.

I wonder how her stats will be.

Has to be good, right?

Two 12 plane slots like Mizuho, highest armor amongst all AVs and I guess she has both good AA and firepower if you want to put her other two slots into use? '3'
Oh right. Yeah she has 4 slots. I guess that has to account for something, too!

[Kasu]

It might feel good at times,  but there's nothing more frustrating than going into night battle and having to fight the enemy escort.

True, though in the two sorties I've done so far we've managed to kill the other eleven members of her fleet beforehand. That said though, she critted Myoukou in the latest run, thus ruining our chances for an S-Rank.

[Rotten]

Are CAV and CV interchangeable?

[Kasu]

Are CAV and CV interchangeable?

Nope. CV are standard aircraft carriers and CAV are aviation cruisers.

EDIT: Managed to beat the first three maps over the first three days of the event, but the first half of E-4 is proving to be a total load of bull at the moment, mostly due to carrier shenanigans. I'm trying to get through with the composition where you only need to do two battles and it's hard even on Easy. Hell, the last sortie I did my pre-boss support failed to activate both times despite being completely sparkled.

[Rotten]

Ah, my bad.

I meant CV and CVB.

[Kasu]

Ah, my bad.

I meant CV and CVB.

Ah, no problem. They tend to be interchangeable in my experience unless explicitly stated otherwise.

[Zengar Zombolt]

The fuck is up with the wo node on E-4 transport side, ahaha. It's so ruthless.

[Kasu]

The fuck is up with the wo node on E-4 transport side, ahaha. It's so ruthless.

indeed it is. It was the thing that usually stonewalled me for the first half of E-4. Surprisingly enough, it's actually pretty simple to brute force your way through the second half of the map with two BBs and four CVs.

[Zengar Zombolt]

E-4 down! Decided to change one of my DDs for torpedo cutin Shigure and she proved my plan by eating CV Hime in one bite.

[Rotten]

>Yuubari has 0 plane slots
Never noticed this before.

Guess it's Jintsuu's time to shine.

[Kasu]

Beat E-5 on Wednesday and due to the lack of Roma this event (;>; ) I opted to hunt for Isokaze on E-2. Dropped her in under ten runs so now I'm basically done. I also managed to drop Sakawa in E-5 during my boss killing runs and I managed to finally build Yahagi in the LSC, so now I've got all of the Agano sisters.

I still want Roma though. ;-;

[Fetch()tirade]

E-4 makes me want to die

E: Kuso mode clear
E-5 was not difficult at all barring a few insta-taihas, hooray for nuke-girls
Time to go back to E-1 and 2 to hopefully save a few more destroyers
