Sorry these are late.
>>51121546
>>51121548Holy shit so many new mistresses.
Looks like Suzunami got the kai ni upgrade as well, she's probably the 3rd biggest Gumo now.
>Looking up Algerie on the wiki>When typing her name, notice that 'Algebra' comes up as a suggestion>Curious, click it>It links to the TBM-3W+3SAlright, that's pretty funny
>>51121548the one with the hoodie looks like a vtuber, the rest are fine.
>>51121546really not a fan of bearn. all of the other non-jap carriers had a different spin on their plane launchers, except for aquila who had a scythian bow for some reason. this just looks like tricolor akagi
>>51121546Finally, Musashi is not the only black woman in Can This.>>51121548A sith lord, a vtuber, a pervert with poor social skills and a From Software npc. >>51121686I kinda like the vtuber the most. Looks cutesy but with just the right amount of creepy with those tubes dripping some weird substance.
New girls are cute
5 locks for E5 is a bit much...
>>51121706True, but they would be cuter nopan however.
>>51121703>Finally, Musashi is not the only black woman in Can This....
>>51121742The other ones are Mexican.
Brown burger boat when?
>>51121833USS Mason soon.
>just saw horrible fanart of SuzuyaI need some good Suzuya art to wash my eyes out now.
>>51121903
So how are the locks?
Thanks fatman.
>>51121954You WILL buy ALL the slots.
In the mean time I went back to duck hunting on E-1.I noticed that the E-2 LBAS helped defend on E-1 as well, is that how it normally works? So when I go do E-2 in earnest, I can just set E-1 to defend and E-2 to sortie? Seems too easy...
>already seeing E5甲 clearsmaybe I can start soon
So on E-5 the locks apply to hard mode only, right? Doesn't feel like the clear rewards make that hassle worthwhile, compared to medium.
So many drops I want...
>>51121541Why isn't Ooi included in the OP? Her K3 was confirmed in the Famitsu interview.
Let's do our best this week as well.
Wonder when I'll see the new ships in PVP. So far I've only seen Reno.
Oh hey, Taihou drops on E-3. Maybe I can finally get her?
So Bearn is a torpedo carrier?
>>51123710I hoped it would happen, but I was never so foolish as to expect it.
>>51123714I have no idea what the actual realistic application would be but I love memes so I'm all for it
>>51123701Tits too big.
>>51123710She can carry my torpedo, if you know what I mean.
>>51123738This is the age of tiddy monsters. Even the fairies are getting in on it now.
sexo
>>51123774would you a fairy?
>>51123801If god did not want me to fairies, he would not haven given me a dick this size.
How did this guy guess one year ago what Heywood's bikini would look like?https://x.com/oeoeuhoho/status/1957014983931490718
>>51123817He is a member of Tanaka's secret boat society.
>>51123817Anon...
>>51123837>Pigtails STILL not in-game
>>51123837oh...
>>51123860To be fair, Yuugure was teased in the 2019 calendar and not released until 2023.also Shinano never
>>51123575I've seen all of them except Indiana.
How are you going to distribute your touches?E2 NagatosE3 HotelsE4 Nelson?E5 French
>>51124308HotelMore HotelMain FrenchExtra FrenchSome frontliners are recommending Deux touch on E4, as E5P4 final boss can apparently be oneshotted with regular French touch even without debuffing.I intend to do debuffs anyways so the Bongs can feel important.
>>51124431So you need dupe Frenchies?Or are E5 locks more permissive than I thought?
>>51124308I've got 3 Nelsons, brits and the frog. If that isn't enough for all locks I'm exploding
>E-5 has us sailing THROUGH THE DANISH STRAIGHTS to strike at an 'enemy' in the Baltic Sea.Of all the bullshittery althistoryboo KC get's up to, this might contend for the top 3.
Hotels banned on E4 and E5. Time to start lol.
>>51124449Maybe wait for Zekamashi's assessment since he finished recently and has lately been making a point of providing non-dupe comps.
>>51123784Looks uncomfortable as hell.>>51124531>BalticsAnd no Tirpitz, Scharnhorst or Scheer. Shame.
How do I avoid getting my LBAS planes shot down at the boss? Even the first wave has AS+ but it seems the second wave often has entire slots wiped out.
>>51125841You have to accept it
>>51125841Victory demands sacrifices
>>51125876>>51125895Ugh, and so without a convenient way to level them after E-1 I can either drain all my bauxite moving planes back and forth or just fight the boss with untrained planes.
>>51125928Fight with them untrained for chipping, then level them back up for last dance.
>>51125935Oh alright, if that's what it takes.
>>51126002Also remember to F5 during failed LD attempts to save proficiency.
>>51126033Thanks. I had forgotten about that.
>>51124165Wonder why they so stubbornly refuse to add her. Incomplete ships like Kasagi or Ibuki aside, she's the only Japanese capital ship left to add.
>>51126762"In case of emergency, break glass"Same with Yuuzuki, Kashii, Arizona, and Enterprise. Shinano coming never sadly.
>>51126778>We want Kashii>We have Kashii at home>Kashii at home:
Fubuki is cute.
How are my chances of beating E-3 on hard if I don't have any "touch" ships?
>>51126778Maybe we get Tirpitz someday. A guy can dream, right?
>>51127733Right after Graf Spee and Blucher, haha
Are support expeditions worth it anywhere? I haven't seen any guides even mention them.
>>51127733>>51127737The reason we've never gotten new Germans is because Fumikane, thanks to his agent, has the contract for ALL German ships ever added to KC, and as KC had a policy of foreign nations having a single artist they were never able to add more Germans.However now that ships like Kirov, Mogador & Gloire exist, the only thing preventing new Germans is Tanaka's seeming unwillingness to renegotiate the contract. There's no reason that Nürnberg or Graf Spee can't have a different artist at this point.
>>51128166Surely that will change now, with Fumikane announcing that he's about ready to retire from professional work.
>>51128166>ALL German shipsExplain Shibafu Scharnhorst then.
>>51127771I used route support in E1 and plan to use both supports frequently for the rest. The new antenna items help with reliability. Whether they're worth it depends on whether your fuel and ammo are close to the cap, whether you have surplus sparkling ships lying around to be used up, whether you care more about time or resources, and how difficult the map is.Right now I have fuel and ammo near the cap, plenty of battleships with pvp sparkles that are ready for remodeling that would wipe out sparkles anyway, and double Nosakis, so spamming support everywhere is practically free. However, players with low enough resources that they're likely to run out before the end of the event should be cautious about support and save it for when it's needed. Manually resparkling an entire route support fleet takes forever and is generally a massive waste of time.Antisub support is useful when you want to use air bases for bombing the boss instead of tokai. Aircraft support is worthless. Shelling support will be almost all of your support expeditions, and it's automatically assumed you'll be using double shelling support on the hardest of the 甲 maps.
First try and no debuff.
>>51128402I guess I'm gonna start this shit.Any advice for E1 and E2?
>>51128421Matsu class for E1, Nagato and Mutsu for E2 if you don't have multiple Yamatos. Any historic destroyers except the 3 below for E2.Naganami, Asashimo and Suzunami for E3 since they can equip AA guns on the 4th slot which will make air raid prenodes easier.
>>51128445what if I only have sharky?
>>51128546If you don't even have Naganami it doesn't sound like you've been playing for a while.
>>51128551I've been playing since iowa but I am limited to 200 slots and I have made some non-meta prioritizations.
>>51128595You went through Leyte without Naganami is pretty questionable. Anyway the Kancolle wiki and Tsunkit already has alot of info on the MO.
>>51128595Even with some non-meta prioritizations Naganami is still one of the top damage dealing destroyers after the MCs, Poi, and Kasumi w/ historic bonus. She even had her own Tassafaronga event. If you're that lacking, maybe start considering which maps to do on easy to re-use ships.
E2 is harder than E3 anyways
>>51128605here are my medals believe it or don't. I don't have any myokos either.>>51128628looking at the eo rewards I'm going to do 丙乙甲 丙丙
>>51128629I didn't debuff E2 either.
>>51128635You could at least do E1 on hard for the equipment slotsI imagine E2 can't be that bad on hard either but it's not like that LBAS fighter is much good
>>51128166>The reason we've never gotten new Germans is because Fumikane, thanks to his agent, has the contract for ALL German ships ever added to KCIs there any proof of this, or is it just cope?
>>51128166If so, then he should fulfill that damn contract and draw more shipgirls.
>>51128790Its something I saw once, and honestly I could believe it. Very likely why we didn't get Z11 or Z21 in the last event.
>>51128858>Its something I saw onceWhere from? Some anonymous stranger on the internet?Conjecture and conspiracy theories are useless, and C2's internal affairs are their own. We'll probably never get a concrete answer, but people will just have to accept that for whatever reasons we'll most likely never get anymore German ships. It's been over 10 years and literally not even a peep, not even for Taihou. It's time to quit copeing and move on.
Meanwhile, Samidare is turning into an abyssal from the lack of new art (let alone K2).
Fubuki will never be erotic
until you see the size of her bush.
It begins. Wish me luck bros. I'm gonna get that pancake.
>>51130375Get dressed, Buki, what if Akagi-senpai or Yamato suddenly enters the room?
>>51131316>Yamato suddenly enters the roomThat's what she's hoping for. Once you go 46cm cannon you never go back.
Breezy mountains
>>51123784Houshou owes me sexo.
>>51132407But you didn't do your best this week yet.
>>51132407Hadaka apron sex desu
How tough is E3?I want that pancake
wasn't zeco supposed to have two battleships? what happened to alabama?
>>51133097Sometimes they say an artist is drawing a girl then don't add her for 6 months or more.
>>51132130>Official art>Fan artWhy are they like this?
>>51133102>6 monthsOr maybe 4 years >>51124165
E-1 done, easier than I expect, and I get Hanazuki in the chipping.Is it worth doing E-2 on hard? Is it as hard as some ttks here say? tbqh I want to do that map faster and focus on E-3, I want the pancake.
>>51133141That plane just doesn't seem worth it to me
>>51133141If you got the right ships, the boss goes down easy. A lot of my ships could one shot the boss.But its the meatshields that are the problem
>>51133141>Is it as hard as some ttks here sayP2 eats baux like no tomorrow.P3 chipping is rather miserable and I'm not looking forwards to LD
>>51132130>>51133115Stop feeding poor Yamakaze hormone pills!
Sometimes you have to try a new style.
>>51133150>>51133188>>51133490memedium then.
>>51133527I want to take up permanent residence between those breasts, if you understand my implication.
>>51133516She's got mountains in her name, she needs mountains in her figure.
>>51134513Explain Yamagumo, Yamashio Maru, and Arashi then.
>>51134551>Yamagumo, Yamashio MaruThey're next. We're going by release order.>and Arashi What about her?
>>51134697>What about her?Anon...
>>51134712Oh, right. We got this!
Man I should've worked harder on the beans and got Proto Shinden. Looks like I can't get AS without it.
Holy fuck, the first gimmick for E2 sucks. I'm so sick of all these dogshit unlocks just to do the fucking 1/4 gauges.
Alright, I'm super short on slots and paypal is acting up. Are the ROWing dwarves good for anything, or should I just scrap them?
>>51134885shortstacks are good for the soul anon.(but yeah, their niche rarely sees use)
>>51134885They're good for those quests that regularly show up which involve DEs going where they really shouldn't.
>>51134885It pains me to allow scrapping a unique type, but I only have one of them, and I haven't encountered any situations where they're absolutely mandatory, although Norge was great for PVP quests requiring weak comps. If there ever is an event that requires them, they'll probably drop there, so your worst case scenario is probably having to re-farm them someday.
LBAS - 0 damageOpening air strike - 0 damageSupport fleet - didn't arrive.Who the fuck designed this requirement?
Remember when events were easy?
>>51136102Haha yeah...
80 tp runs on a 765 tp gauge and terrible pre-boss node. This is just beyond excessive.
>>51136102>Remember when events were less complex?ftfy
>>51136181
>>51133586
>>51136181Still one of the best mistresses.
Why must I live in a world where there aren't submarines ready to obliterate my cock at any given moment?
>>51136598I think the total complexity is about the same as for older large events, it's just been crammed into fewer maps.
Is it safe to start?
>>51137846You can come up with a fleet for E1 already, even if you want to wait for FF for MO.
27 screws, holy.
>>51138147What pains me a lot more is the Ryuusei(skilled) x2
I still don't have Teruzuki.
Oh wait, if I clear it on hard then I'll also have to do the ship farming on hard, right? I want some of those ships more than the pancake... maybe I should go easy after all.
https://x.com/C2_STAFF/status/2080983126558253066>Kikuko InoueNice
>>51137554Holy hell, some of them could bayonet abyssals with those nipples.>>51133586So do her fairies want, it seems.
E2 medium is worse than CBT, I'm going to casual
For getting LBAS AS, if I set both bases to defense, does their FP add up? Or does one of them need enough FP on its own? (In which case, how the fuck do I get to 440+ FP???)
I'm not having any fun.>>51138726Yes, they're combined.
>>51138726yes but all of the LBAS defenses in the event are high altitudes so if you don't have interceptors, you're fucked
>>51138787Oh fuck, so I really only have 50% FP, and in effect I'd need 880 FP... Well my Kaga is almost at 82 so I'll get the Proto Shuusui from her quest, that will help right? Then at 80% it should come out to 450, just barely enough. All the others high alt interceptors are unobtainable, that's a pretty ridiculous barrier.
>>51138816it would help... although you might want to check out the LD boss compositions before committing to medium+
>>51138876Damn. I had big dreams. Even with my meager fleet, I would make my mark on the world. There would be parades! But alas.The pancake is a lie.
>>51126778>>51126822Would Tanaka get Parsley back?
Fuck 'Yodo
>>51139886Gladly!
>>51139873Why not? We still need WeeVee too (though I think she is already designed and Tanaka is just sitting on her illustration)
>>51140003It’s been over four years since Maryland with no new CGs. Though maybe he’s just busy with Vtuber stuff.
>>51139873He comes back occasionally. I'd say yes, and of course as someone else mentioned, West Virginia. He's just a bit expensive and stuck in the Hololive mines.
>>51140063>>51140397Didn’t his Vtuber kinda graduate years ago?
>>51138395Shiptag restrictions are lifted when you clear E5 though, so you can bring your best ships wherever.

7 pre-boss nodes for E3, what the fuck?
>>51142899Très bien !
Does the dong prevent smoke from working? I've done E2 transport half a dozen times and tried smoking L each time but it never triggered.
>>51142899...but did those three taiha'd ships sink?? WAS IT WORTH IT?
>>51143432No, but there are other factors like type of smoke, improvements on smoke, number of smoke cans, and flagship (not ship carrying the smoke) luck.
>>51143447Those might have gotten clipped by O-torps or the opening airstrike
>>51142899the guy who says every event is the easiest since kon
vs (you)
>>51143635That was painful to watch. I'm sorry.
>>51143447They got hit by airstrikes, no they did not sink.
sterns are overrated. it's all about the pagoda.
>>51143771it's funny because I locked all of my strongest ships on that map because everyone else seemed to be struggling and beaver who didn't even have a damage bonus one shot her on my first attempt.
>>51143943This makes me wonder whether I should commit my Frogs to E4 or E5 now.
>>51143943Why even take the chance?
