I just got on the chat of the new Kancolle wiki and learned that Uzuki has not been confirmed to drop from 3-3. The droptable module (that, I assume, collects actual drop data) does not show her dropping from 3-3. They thanked me for pointing out the error, but that doesn't change the fact that I've been hunting rabbit for the past two months in a place where she couldn't be found.

I'm gonna go spin around and roll on the floor now.

Ouch. I can only imagine how much that must suck (though then again I DID spend over half a year hoping for Taigei).

Here's hoping you have better luck at one of the confirmed maps.

I'm so happy that I'll train Mutsu to be a strong BB... now let's see if I can convince Nagato to come join my ranks.

Hey, congratulations! It took me a while until I got Nagato, so best of luck as well!

Now, with the event just around the corner, I'm worried about my current planes... I have a grand total of 1 Saiun, and my better planes consist only of 8 Suisei, 7 Tenzan, and 9 Type 52s. I'm incredibly tempted to spam the 20/60/10/110 recipe at this point, but I have withheld from attempting it more than 5 times per day (dailies + an extra attempt). Still, at HQ Level 60, this hasn't yielded anything particularly useful to me yet... Any advice as to what I should I do? Also, which CV should I put as my secretary ship for better development results? I currently have Akagi, Kaga, and Zuikaku, all of whom are remodeled.

Thank you and usually Akagi and Kaga help me with planes they really helped me rack up good torpedo bombers and Reppus.

Since tomorrow going to be a live update, I'm going to give a little reminder on what's coming up:

1. Mutsuki is going to get a Kai Ni
2. Kisaragi is going to get a Kai Ni
3. 2nd Anniversary Wall Scroll will be given out in Celebration of Kancolle's 2nd Anniversary.
4. All members of the Mutsuki class are getting new dailouge... except Yayoi and Uzuki.
5. Mochizuki will be getting wedding dailouge
6. 2nd Anniversary Voices will be given to TONS of Kanmusu (Over 70+Kanmusu)

All this will take place at Midnight Japan Time tonight! So be sure to restart your game afterward to gain access to the new content!

I know Kisaragi's beyond ready, and Mutsuki is probably borderline ready. I don't forsee the two Mutsuki ships needing past level 60 for thier upgrade.
That's one small step for man, one giant leap for Otaku Kind.

I was training Mutsuki in my main fleet, but I put off fleet training to prepare for the event, so she's only Level 38.  At least I predicted correctly that she'd be getting her Kai Ni.

So decided to get back to this for the summer \o/ Hibiki got to lv70 in the middle of clearing 1-5, remodeled her to Verniy; the Destroyer of Subs then easily bulldozed the whole map :V
In light of my massive bauxite consumption in pursuit of the Type-3 Scout plane and better carriers, I've decided to change my main fleet comp from DD/BBV/BBV/CV/CV/CVL to DD/BBV/BBV/CV/CV/CLT ; v; Kitakami-sama is to replace in, but she was like lv4 when I started training her in 1-5, soooo. It doesn't help that the enemy seems to know to aim at her somehow ; v;

Anyway, currently thinking of giving either 1-6 or 2-5 a shot, but I don't have the high-level ships for any of the valid compositions, so I'm afraid it will turn out to be like 2-4 again. What level range would you guys recommend my fleet be in to attempt, at HQ level <59?

1-6 is actually really easy. Sub node can be defeated even without any ASW equipment. The only worrying node is the double bombing phase if you go the 5DD1CL route (recommended). Just equip them all with AA equipment and, if you have any, AA cut-in equipment. The node after that is a regular node but if any of your ships are hit to red, you can keep going because the final node is the resource node so your ships will never sink from it.

Edit: That reminds me, do CLTs also count as a CL for fleet comp requirements?

NOPE! Even the DEVs know that CLTs are CLTs.

Also... I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE 3-2 BECAUSE THE RNG LOVES TO TROLL ME. I only had 1 good run with Hibiki FS in yellow and it sends me NE seriously, how much can the RNG kick me before I'm down to the last bucket.

Good news though... I forgot to post her picture so many hours ago due to I was hellbent on doing quests:

Hunting rabbits isn't that expensive. I've run 200 rabbit hunts, each costing 300 or so fuel. That comes out to merely 60k fuel over the last 50 days. That's like 1200 fuel per day, or two great successes with Tokyo Express (Expedition 38).

okay I legitimately can't tell if 1-6 is hard or my RNG ubersux. I think I'm doing fine on the AA front, since at least 66% of the attacking bomber squadron get blown up every time, but so far my destroyers have literally got moderately damaged every single freaking time during the double bombing phase, both phases. Is 55 evasion really not enough to juke them torpedoes ;_;

The Truk Anchorage server, where my account resides, is currently suffering from "stability issues". There are so many error cats falling from the sky, I'm too scared to sortie. I just sent out some expeditions - getting hit by more than 20 error cats in the process - and am waiting for the storm to pass. Thankfully both the Bulls and Blackhawks are playing tonight.

For what it's worth, the evasion scores of the team I cleared 1-6 with this month are 72, 72, 75, 78, 82, 90. If the enemies I face at HQ Level 98 are the same as the ones you face at Level 60 (which seems to be the case), you may want to try sparkling your fleet before each run of 1-6. Sparkling boosts evasion, but costs resources, which makes 1-6 a little less profitable.

Congratulation marrying Ryuujou Sixten. :D May your future with your carrier waifu prove strong... lololol

But anyways, hopfully you'll enjoy the benifits of having RJ married since some of her stats will still improve and some benifits are given to married ships. :)


Anyways  let's talk event related matters....

The staff recently confirmed that the 11th Operation is going to be the following based on thier tweet:

The event will be a LARGE SCALE EVENT consisting of multiple stages so look to this event is going to be about AL/MI tier in terms of length. So expect this event to be a 5-6 stage event!

Expect to be depending on your carrier units for some of the battles which suggests that bauxite will be pretty important for this some of the campagin.

Also to top it all off...

For anyone who is planning to play Normal or Hard Difficulty level.... the staff advise you to have take a great amount of preparation in order to be successful for this part of the event!

So from the sound of it.... we are expecting this event to be very huge, and the possibility of fleet locking also seems very likely.

Do whatever preparations you have needed because we have only 3 days before the event!

Also as one more thing, here's my HQ and resources as they stand ATM. :P



I'm near my desginated quota for the event, so I should be good, I would like to gun for 48 buckets, but we'll see how fate plays with me.

In terms of streaming, I will be streaming at the evening of the first event night which should be Tuesday at the earliest. As usual, I will leave information along with my link of where I stream for you all to view as I attempt to make my run through the event and as usual... HARDCORE or BUST for me!

Also I recall someone asked about the 2nd Anniversery voices, so I'll point out that our wiki team has been making headway with the translations since most of people in the TL team are originally from Japan and lived there for some of thier lives. Thus have been putting in effort to make the translations as accurate and natural as possible.

Aw crap.

If that's the case, I might just cruise along on Easy this time around.  I suppose it all depends on the rewards.

Anyway though, here's where I stand at the moment. I'm in better straights than I was for the last event at least.

Fuck fleet-locking. I'm actually really hoping that they don't bring it back. It's one of the few mechanics that I hope never returns (as well as regenerating health that I was very fortunate to never experience yet).
