We were on page 10 already?Guess I can update the bin after the event starts.
Friendly reminder:Summer Event starts THIS SATURDAYhttps://x.com/KanColle_STAFF/status/2072330565597188168
>>51081462Wait, what?I though it was mid July.Now I really have to try my best this week.
>>51081401Probably, just like >>51081475... though I don't know why they're surprised, the previous announcement mentioned early summer and it'll be the second week of summer, so...
>>51078927
Fubuki is cute.
Makes you wonder if they chose the 250 year anniversary date on purpose.
>>51081475>>51081565Welp, rescheduled for NEXT WEDNESDAY, July 8.https://x.com/KanColle_STAFF/status/2072954628770329010
>Brave killed KC3Thanks, and you were supposed to be the good browser.
>>51085477
I like them with fat thighs
>>51085555どうぞ
>>51085562*squish*
>>51085555Same
>Dace and Thonburi are voiced by Haruka TomatsuHuh, neat.
why do shitty potato botes get k3 while shimakaze doesn't even have k2?
>>51085943They couldn't catch her.
>>51085943How can you improve on perfection?
>>51085943Soon brother
Without getting into specifics about which ships… Since ZECO is taking on a pair of battleship sisters this time, the aircraft carrier we wanted to introduce on Independence Day… will be presented to you in a brand-new summer illustration by Hoshiakari, a member of the team, featuring the red Ranger making its debut today!So 2 BBs by ZECO and 1 Independence-class by Hoshiakari I guess
>>51086358Independence-class on Independence Day, very punny.
>>51086358I thought we were getting Kidd or even Louisville this event, we're getting two battleships instead? Any idea what they might be?
>>51086358>>51030034 was realwhat.>>51086606Surely it has to be New York and Texas?
>>51086358that explains why they wanted to do the update yesterday, fuck you japan people, they always ruin the fun for everyone.
>>51086358>ZECO is taking on a pair of battleship sisters
>>51085943That's in the "break in case of dire emergency" glass
>>51087332They're going to make her costume more boring in any case, I don't know if we should even be hoping for a K2.
How important are TSSL's, and how many should you ideally need?
>>51088579Probably 6 if you are ever in doubt
>>51089264Is there even a single example in the last five years where the remodel costume got spicier than the base was?
>>51089376Shigure? Even if its damaged version is noticeably toned down when compared to Shigure K2.
White Angel
Are Atago and Takao worth keeping? Need to clear out some slots for the event...
>>51090591They might be useful if you need some throwaway CAs for the early maps, unless you have dupes of better CAs.
>>51090591Complete their quest first. If you did already then scrap.
>>51086684We have 5 classes of USN battleship not in game at all yet (Wyoming, New York, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Tennessee). New Yorks are the most likely, especially with Texas reopening next year. If its a France event then maybe its Normandy? If that's the case than Arkansas could be in the cards too.
>>51090607Given that Roma was said to play a big role as well, seems like Mediterranean would be more likely. And since it's a "what-if" scenario, could it be about defending her during the transit to Malta?
>>51090607Technically it could be Alabama and Indiana as well, though that seems pretty unlikely.
>>51090808E4's up in the air but I don't see how E5 could be anything other than Operation Dragoon. That'd mean either Texas (plus New York) or Arkansas (plus Wyoming).
>>51090865I don't think we'll ever see Wyoming, she only served in a training role in WW2.
Let's do our best during this week as well while also preparing for the upcoming event.
Good Morning, Samidare. Happy 91st Launch Anniversary!
Let's do our best again today as well!But before we head down for breakfast, please put on your skirt.
I love bote butts
>>51088579How would you even get more, is there any way besides the few from quests?
>>51091397I currently only have 1, but can get 1 more, but the third quest chain is a pain in the ass because I'd need to K2 5 different DD's to get it, so I was wondering if I can cope with just 2, or if the third would really make much of a difference.
>>51091408How many lvl80+ DD do you have?If you got regular lookouts, you can reliably use those as a substitute instead.
>>51091375nice
norge norge norge norge
Are we really only going to have 1 event per year now?
>>51091561Winter Event is happening this year and may bring Mikasa.
>>51091561mini events also counts.
>>51091567The Fucking museum already betrayed Kancolle for the other game. I don't care at this point.>>51091625meh. The majority of those are just extra chores. Every now and then one introduces a new ship.
I'm using twitter more often and it's surprising to see the amount of posts from new admirals like "my first cvl is now lvl 10", "finally remodelling my Nagato", "first time clearing 5-5"
Kancolle developers refusing to reach out to western vtubers to promote Kancolle will be the death of it.
>>51091899no it won't
>>51091899Listen friend, I don't have much going for me these days, but kancolle has been one of the very few constants in my life for the past decade. It's comforting, it's reassuring, it's home. Therefore, one of the very last things I'd want to happen, is for KC to explode into the mainstream and watch it being raped to death by Westoids, SEAtrash, and, may god forgive me for uttering this word, M*inlander C*inks who will endlessly chimp out nonstop about KC being IJN apologia, fatman could unironically get himself killed by these retards. KC may be in decline in the west, but I'd rather watch it slowly succumb before passing away peacefully in it's sleep, before subjecting it to the horrors of todays western internet landscape. Which, mind you, will be unlikely to happen, given the juggernaut KC has become in Japan's pop culture landscape. Even if the unthinkable happens and KC shuts down, it would be for a new KC game to take it's place, unless C2 hates money. Anyways, please shut the fuck up.
>>51091899Man its weird how Kancolle Hornet is the most dignified of these
>>51092679chinkslop doesn't tend to be dignified>>51091899>western vtubersthat one is a fate worse than death
>>51091774people are returning to roots
>>51092684>that one is a fate worse than deathchink popularity is worse, but i don't want either
>>51091899I do think Kancolle should promote itself more (such as putting Arcade on Steam) but I very much disagree with it going global, look at what happened to Umamusume when it did, its fandom is full of groomers and yuritards who care more about shipping than the actual game. I would hate to see that happen to Kancolle. I'd also wouldn't want to see some Tumblr retard try and co-opt the game for their political causes and draw something like Shigure with a Palestinian flag or Iowa and Yamato shilling trans rights.
>>51092835And another thing, wow our Hornet really mogs theirs, just like our Mogador, our Warspite, our De Ruyter, our U-511.....KC Hornet turns AL Hornet into a splatter on the pavement, hell doesn't it have 3x as much fanart despite releasing years later?>>51092679She somehow looks more like a sister to AL's Enterprise than the actual AL Hornet does.
Do LBAS fighters count for AS?
>>51093078They count for the air state calculation in the lbas sweeps, not for fleet airstate. But since they'll likely shoot down a bunch of abyssal planes during the lbas sweep, they do indirectly contribute to your fleet's airstate (you'll still need some actual planes in your fleet though).
>>51093089Oh thanks, I didn't realize there were two distinct air states.
>>51093089>>51093102Also if your lbas manages to sink an enemy CV/BBV, then they obviously won't be included in AS calcs after, making it much easier.
>>51091176>skirtNo.
>>51092841It may have to do with the fact that of al shipgirl universes the AL girls often look the least "ship".
>>51093102It's easiest to see if you look into any viewer, but yeah, each wave of LBAS gets their own airstate and only once they are all over do the calculations for your fleet's airstate start.Also AA will hit planes each wave too (no AACI though).Basically (if you disregard the mounting losses) you can treat each wave as their own self contained air battle phase.
>>51093294Ah, yes I see it now. Though I don't fully understand the numbers it's showing.I sent two fighters with no ranks, but along with Maya's AACI I think also having two fighter slots on Houshou may have been overkill. And once it's fully ranked up, maybe just the Shiden M11 might be enough as well. Even so the boss didn't sink...
>>51093446Not sure where IE shows it but the numbers you are interested in are just the fighter power ones.(example pic of how my 6-5 lbas bases look like in kc3kai)You can always run your setup in the air calculator if you want to be sure you are gonna hit the airstate you want (since if you are overshooting it you might as well bring more bombers).
>>51084345elaborate
>>51092093so true
>>51092841on the other hand sex is a funny meme while our essex class are shitty tubers
Dress code inspection!
uhhh, is this normal to get I-201 from 1-5?
>>51095285Both Fuumi and Furei have been a "temporary" drop from there since 2024.
>>51095294oh damn, wiki doesn't show that, thanks
>>51093794Brave stopped supporting manifest v2 that KC3 uses, i brute forced it for now, but no idea for how long it will work
>>51095328It does show them on the top part of https://en.kancollewiki.net/Drop_List
>>51095447
Remember to do your monthlies before maint starts in 10 hours, the update will change the requirement to replace 4 ships you probably already have with 2 new event drops.
>>51095031このおっぱいで朝潮型は無理でしょ
>>51095031>pantsu/swimsuit bottomsThat's a dress code violation
So how do you actually prepare for an event?
>>51095852Level up girls who are likely to have historical bonuses.
>>51095852I listen to Wo's podcast and follow her advice.
Send out expeditions!...I'm off to the beach
Weird Maint timeExpeditions out
I predict that maintenance will be extended by 4 hours.
THE GATES ARE OPEN
New duck is very nice
>>51096770Until exploded
Independence
>>51096770>>51096812Jesus, these are some seriously cute ships. Meanwhile, Reno and Indiana are not... quite what I was expecting.
Hanazuki, Indiana, Kiri, Reno, Independence.>Sodas will be completed before we get a second Iowa
>>51096798My brother
>>51096770Wait, am I tripping or they didn't commission Shizuma for Hanazuki?No matter how I look at her, it really looks like she was drawn by Fujikawa>>51096820Watanabe is back with the Matsu class? I thought he was done after Ume.
>>51096820And your Abyssals.New equipment is the Quad Oxy K3 and the SBU2-2 whose images aren't on the server yet.
>>51096826Anon... they tweeted Fujikawa would be drawing the new duck because Yoshinori is busy with the new Atlanta last week.
>>51096839The sit on my face alliance!
>>51096820Reno looking like Saturn with that hairstyle.
>>51096839Oh neat, my abyssalfu got new art.
>>51086358Huh, we actually got Indiana, I guess that means Alabama is confirmed too.
Turkey cant be this cute
>>51096826Tanaka has been sitting on Kiri's design for years, she appeared in Itsuumi in case you forgot.
>>51096820>>51096839Nice batch of shipgirls and abyssals, all of them look great. Hope the event isn't pure cockblock.
>>51096876wtf how did you get this picture of me?
>>51096876It's actually a self-portrait
>>51096876Me when I realize I'll need to fight late model flagship kitanda~ and that she WILL be raping my bauc
>>51096839Bottom one's cute.
>>51096839butt
Oh, maint was on time because they only implemented a single map.
>>51096843>>51096857These two post are actually kinda funny.For one, an artist is too busy drawing one ship to draw another.For another, he's been sitting on a something for years.
How many weeks is it going to take before I stop my muscle memory from clicking the wrong formation buttons...
>>51096820which ones are drops and which are clear rewards?
>>51097173Kiri - E1 DropHanazuki - E1/2 DropIndiana - E2 DropReno - E2 RewardIndependence - E3 Reward
>>51096820>Hanazuki's turrets aren't aliveWhy the fuck would you do this to her?
>>51097173Awards announced so far:E2 - RenoE3 - Indy
>>51097179Budget cuts for the Michitsuki subclass, please understand.
>>51096820Oh shit, Dracula hair is back.
>>51096820Aah, stripes are precious. Together with zettai ryouiki they are sublime.
Are ship locks usually shared between MO and EO? I don't have a lot of ship and want to avoid getting locked out of EO.
>>51097615Yes
Is Independence's engrish the best we've had so far?
>>51097640Reno's might be betterhttps://w02k.kancolle-server.com/kcs/sound/kcrdzdbkduytqr/186590.mp3
So many burgs, so little slots...Do we know if Dace drops?
>>51097619Alright, I guess I'll wait to see what kind of fleets we need in E4/E5 beforehand.
>>51097671Its eurosMO is for japs and burgersEO is for Euro and everyone left over
>>51097678Well, Lebe is the only Euro I have met so far. So I might need to reserve some of my best ships to fill in.
>>51097687I guess you are going to do easy modoThen you can just ignore shiplocks
>>51097694I really want to see if I can do medium.
>anime protags look down on the plebs
>>51097697Post ships.
>>51097179The last three Akizuki class made were budget versions sort of like Katsuragi for the Unryu class.
gonna fuck Kiri's brains out once I get her
>>51096839Mistresses!
Post summer bases
Some measures against scouting on easy/casual by frontliners have been introduced:Can start sortieing to the event right away:HQ level < 100 admirals picking "hard", "medium", or "easy"HQ level < 80 admirals picking "casual"Can only start sortieing to E-1 right away:HQ level ≥ 100 admirals picking "easy"HQ level ≥ 80 admirals picking "casual"It's like they fucking hate the playerbase and want as little people playing as possible.
>>51098158What's even the point?
>>51098162Event Speedrunners typically use alt accounts to clear on easy to figure out routing restrictions and plan locks for the actual thing.
Imagine having an alt account for fucking kancolle
>>51098074
>>51098528Nice melons.
>>51098074Tfw my boatfu will never ever get a summer art
>>51098074The gumo window doesn't quite fit but it's essential to bait Hanazuki drops
>>51098996
How do I actually make a striking force fleet?
>>51099559You go to the 3rd fleet and put a 7th ship in.
>>51098074I don't have a lot of furniture yet, so it's not very summery, but I do make sure that it suits my shipfu.
>>51099577I don't see an option. I guess I need to kill the first boss? I was hoping to get some power expeditions going before settling on which ships to lock.
How's the difficulty so far?
>Check 2ch>All the anon's using google image translate on all the random english text the new ships and abyssal keep spouting.
Is it safe to start?
>>51099944sacchin sex
>>51100107It's never safe
>>51100107wait for more frontliners to bleed for our intel anon
>>51100107EO+2 weeks
If you're new to the game and need dev mats, try 6-3 while the dong is still around.https://senka.hatenadiary.jp/archive/category/6-3
>>51100784>new>6-3And I'm pretty sure you need to win at the boss to keep those
>>51098158what does this even mean? if you do e1 on easymodo you can't do e2?
>>51098074For me it is the grill because that gives you the "shipgirls at the beach" soundtrack.
Looks like Taitei-chan is Goji's latest victim.
>>51100799fine*players that have world 6 unlocked, has sufficiently leveled boats, passes equip check, is in need of dev mats, and is not aware 6-3 can be farmableAlso it only needs a B-rank
>>51100870It literally already expired, it was essentially a 24 h delay so frontliners couldn't scout all 3 maps on casual in the first hours.
>>51100784>the dong is still around???
>>51101040I actually need to farm 6-3 for DevMats but I can't find an optimised team.
>>51101109Mikuma / Yahagi / Kashima / 3x OASW DD's with 2x gun 1x depth charge works for me.
>>51101071How new r u?
>>51101865bout tree fiddySo in what cases is the dong useful? The 50% damage reduction for half the ships seems like a huge penalty.
>>51101910A lot of places where you want to avoid damage. Basically most pre-boss surface battle nodes. Not really that helpful on easy maps where you're unlikely to take damage anyway, but for maps like 5-3, 5-5, and event maps it's extremely useful.
How many subs do I need for this event?
Got spare BP and after all those years i finally did B101. Both maps on first try.I'll take this as lucky omen for the event
So will we get the AD-1 in game? What would its stats be?
>>51097694Alright, my hope for doing this on medium has not held up to the reality check. Somehow casual play for half a year is not enough to ace events... I want my money back.I am going easy modo.
Oh holy shit, just noticed E3H gives pancake.
>>51102940same here, I need that plane in my life.
>>51102940how cancer is the map though?
E2H rewards don't look worth it
>>51093157I'm just now remembering... didn't AL have a backup plan of becoming a doujin/hentai game if it didn't work out?That probably explains why so many of the characters hardly look like ships, they were designed with a second purpose in mind. Saratoga could easily be a little sister idol, Belfast a generic titty maid, Akagi a "cherry blossom clan" noblewoman, the list goes on.
>>51103499No clue but I'm gonna dump everything I got to clear it.>>51103591Yeah the LBAS fighter doesn't seem worth it and otherwise it's just a few upgrades for the medium rewards.
>>51103604That's funny, it's almost like a threat, whale our gacha or we're going to whore out all your favorite girls!
Why is PvP giving me newfaces? I haven't changed my challenge setting in years. Never gonna remax my wife at this rate.
When is EO coming out?
>>51103604>That probably explains why so many of the characters hardly look like shipsIt is a fact that ships look just like generic schoolgirls and miko
Less than day to spend your medals.
After the first boss, it says the LBAS needs 2x AS, but doesn't say which node. Does that mean it must happen during base defense? Or any node?I've had no problem during the first gimmick with 2x AS on node F, but I've reached L three times with both LBAS sorties on node K but the next phase isn't unlocking, what am I doing wrong?
>>51107102LBAS defense?Run around until your airbase gets attacked
>>51107135Haha, so I should've just tried it. That was easy. I've never bothered with base defense ever until now...
Let's do our best this week as well.
kc3 is just fucked then?
>>51107798What do you mean?
will friends for e3 not be until a week before the event ends?
