Wtf dude?

Seriously wtf? You forced your daughters overworking while don't feed them properly or what? o_o

I thought only those hardcore Japanese player saved their resources over 60k for next event... Didn't know we have one right here.

God, I only have 19k ammo, and already worried that may soon hit the limit. And to add into the insult, my admiral level even 1 level higher than you (99)

Got my Yamato with 4/6/6/2. Bauxite hardly change the chances for getting her, although the bare minimum is 2K as far as the reports go.

It isn't like you need to be hardcore for that.
For instance, I'm still around 20K of every resources despite I do 2 LSC minimum recipe per day + at least 10 sorties in 3-3 and 4-2 while using Yamato in PVP. You can reach 60k+ within 2-4 weeks if you only do dailies and deploy subs at most.

And like I said before, it is a major waste of resources considering you are wasting weeks of natural regen (1440 resources per day which is nearly a full LSC minimum recipe per day or 5-10 equipment crafts).
Chunks of resources won't do any good if your ships aren't lvl70-80+ with spares and actual equipments.

Of course, that's a different story for people who have at least 2 fleet worth of high level ships and enough rare equipments for all of them.

I understand what you means, but still holy crap 170k of fuel 0_0

Already gave up the regeneration for steel and bauxite as they are way higher than ammo and fuel. Mine resource currently is 13k/18k/55k/26k


Anyway, was just trying to see how much a lvl 80 BB/CV cost. I am trying level all my daughters to lvl 80, simply because feel that is where the curve is.

• doing 3-2 costs a BB 21-32 ammo (yamato aside), and CV 13-16 ammo
• doing 3-2 give average minimum of 480 exp per ship (MOM + leader ship)
• level 80 requires 383k exp
• cost to get a BB to lvl 80 is around 16.7k-25.5k ammo
• cost to get a CV to lvl 80 is around 10.4k-12.8k ammo

So roughly that 80k of Ammo Mistwrath have can level 5-8 large ship up to lvl 80

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

I finally have her! My Takao class collection is now complete! I think my trust in construction is forever lost(except for construction only ships), and just rely on drops.

[Achiuakuna]

Congrats. Now you can panpakapan.

[KBTKaiser]

Shoukaku and Kirishima continue to avoid me...

[Mistwrath]

My main stay ships are all mostly in the 80s.

Kongou and sisters are all at 85.
Fusou and Yamashirou both at 50.
Ise and Hyuuga, 52 and 50 respectively.

No Nagato or Mutsu, attempts at crafting them for 2 weeks at dailies failed.
Switch to crafting I-8 after news came out that she is craftable.
Managed to get Yukikaze which I didn't have on my 4th day of dailies.

All 3 CLTs are at level 75, not leveling them for now.

All CVs are at level 70 over so might work a bit harder to push them to 75 and above.

All subs are at level 80 and above, with Imuya at 96. 2nd Imuya already at 70 >.<
(Their repair times are kinda painful to watch now as they level higher, but of course I am always happy when they level up)

DDs wise not leveling for now at the moment, but with Poi, Shigure and Bep at 75++, should be pretty good for now.

CLs, Yuubari and Isuzu at 70.


Equipment wise, I still only have 4 x 46cm guns, I am aiming to get another 4 more actually, but daily development have been giving me crap for past 10 days.
Planes wise ... my preparation for Midway event.
2 x Ryuusei Kai, 7 x Ryuusei. (maybe try to get 2 more Ryuusei Kai ?)
3 x Reppu, 1 x Shinden Kai (maybe I should try to get 1 or 2 more Reppu)
3 x Suisei 12A

I haven't attempted crafting the rare radars yet so not sure if they are really worth it.
I have no need for any more Type 3 Sonars, got like 10++ of them.

Anyone able to give me suggestion on what other equipment to get ?

I am doing LSC only once per week, so far 2 attempts made, 1st attempt got Zun girl Aki, 2nd is Soryuu . . . and yet to try it this week.


And so as above is my status report as of current time. I stop playing once I finish my dailies everyday and maybe just do 2-3 exp runs of 4-1 now.

I think you definitely need more Reppu just in case. 5-2, even though it's an easy stage, it still requires you to have at least 3 Reppu to secure air superiority. I can only imagine the event to be worse. 1 Suisei 12A for each CV (in the smallest slot) you're sending on sortie is pretty sufficient I think, I don't think bringing more than 3 CV is a good idea for clearing anyway.

Simply by doing minimal LSC, you will at some point drop Nagato or Mutsu. You really need at least one of them because you always need at least 1 powerful BB that can equip the AP ammo (and no, Ise class and Fusou class hardly do the trick even with this equipment).

All 3 CLTs are at level 75, not leveling them for now.

The difference isn't noticeable first, but having the CLT around lvl90 clearly help in term of survivability (due to dodge etc).
There is no evidence yet, but I'm enclined to think that levels also mitigate chances of being crit, as I noticed that my ships still eat crits a lot after being remodeled + modernized, which tends to be less apparent with higher levels.

Equipment wise, I still only have 4 x 46cm guns, I am aiming to get another 4 more actually, but daily development have been giving me crap for past 10 days.

3 x Reppu, 1 x Shinden Kai (maybe I should try to get 1 or 2 more Reppu)
3 x Suisei 12A

Absolutely not enough. In term of planes, you need at least 6 reppu to have a consistent air superiority, and who knows we might need air supremacy for a certain event.

I haven't attempted crafting the rare radars yet so not sure if they are really worth it.
I have no need for any more Type 3 Sonars, got like 10++ of them.

Radar should be the last equipment to craft considering how expensive they are, but the accuracy boost is just huge.

[ganbaru]

Plane wise, I am a little better equipped but not by much:
2 Ryuusei Kai, 10 Ryuusei and 21 Tenzan
2 Reippu, 4 Shinden Kai
4 Suisei 12A and 9 Saiun

At least the ''green bullet'' and type21 radar are abundant and the 2 type14 radar would be even more usefull but on a aviation-heavy event that might be not enough even with ship over level 70.

I would say than it's the rarity more than the expensiveness of t good radar is the issue but the type14 and type32 radar really make a difference.

[Klashikari]

The radar aren't any rarer than Ryuusei Kai or the 46cm cannon. The major difference is how bauxite heavy the former are compared the the latter two, hence why the resource required is the core issue.

Hallo hallo! Reporting my first month in playing Kancolle
It is really addicting and sometimes it robbed my sleep.

Right now my personal missions are
Get Subs (3 weeks and not a single one... I've noticed that they are useful in getting resource )
Get Kongou Sisters (4th Fleet please!)
GET TAIHOU!!

I am actually scared in Map 2-4. Is this force enough for that journey? (I currently don't have another regular Carrier)

Spoiler for Main Fleet:

And here is my Expedition/Lvling Fleet

Spoiler for 2nd Fleet:

Spoiler for 3rd Fleet:

Can anyone give out some tips and help?

Welcome aboard Admiral!

Your ship choices and levels are fine. More than enough, actually. I'm more concerned about your equipment set up however. Many players I've seen that had trouble winning the boss battle was due to set up and not levels. Care to share the details?

[Mitsu Aoi]

Oh sure here are my Setup in order.


Kongou: 2x41cm, 15.5cm, Type 21 Radar
Hiei: 2x41cm, 15.5cm, 12.7 Hi-angle
Mutsu: 2x41cm, 15.5cm, Type 21 Radar
Akagi: Type 52, Comet, Tenzan, Type 97
Isei: 2x35.6cm, Type 91 AP shell, Zuiun
Hyuuga: 2x35.6cm, 12.7 Hi-angle, Zuiun

I just look at the numbers and my insticts mashed these equipments to my fleet.

You need to set up for double-attack for your BBs. You're gonna get screwed really hard if you're unable to sink 4 enemy vessels and need to proceed into night battle with that set up because aside from the Ise class everyone else's luck isn't anywhere near reliable for cut-ins.

Details here:
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Comba...uipment_Setups

Replace Kongou, Hiei and especially Mutsu's 15.5cm... er... are those main guns (red) or sub guns (yellow)? Either way, replace those with a radar or AA gun.

Ise and Hyuuga are fine. I'm a little skeptical about the usefulness of Zuiun but I don't think you got anything else to go with at the moment.

As for Akagi... I'm assuming you listed the planes in order of the slots. Put your Dive Bombers (Red) in the smallest slot aka the last slot, and Fighters (Green) in the largest slot. You're still not going to have enough air power against those Flagship Wo-class double teams if you run into one before the boss, but you don't really have a choice since you will need either 3 star planes like Reppu or a second CV to carry more fighters without giving up too much of your attack planes / CV's firepower. So just put those Fighters in the largest slot for every ounce of air power you can muster and hope your fleet survive those air strikes.


Last thing, if your fleet gets sent NW after the first battle node, just retreat. That route can potentially make you battle 5 times before the boss node, which means you will run out of ammo by the time you reach the boss and suffer severe firepower penalty. You won't be killing anything with that. Take the NE route for a guaranteed but tougher path to the boss, or the SE route for an easier path, but at the same time a trial of compass-chan's delicious trolling.

[Achiuakuna]

Do submarines get better after you remodel them? Because right now they are close to Lv 50 and they still have a significant chance of being oneshot to major damage. It seems to be pure RNG and I can't even run them for 2-3 on an unlucky day.

[Klashikari]

They do and since they have an additional equipment slot, you can have A-S ranks if you proceed at night.
The major issue of doing so is that you double the repair time for them (except Imuya) as they change into aircraft carrier submarine.
