SBS

Just shows how little people actually know about game development, or any kind of team work in any organisation. Not everybody does everything, it is usually spread among people specializing in on or few areas. Also, it is part of a collaboration projekt as part of marketing. That is good for the company, it brings more players, and thus more money. Not sure how big an effect it has, but such a thing is allways possitive.

Well, to be quite honest I think WG shot themselves in the foot by insisting on the whole, IJN get less planes but more squadrons and reverse for US. It just makes it so difficult to balance if not right out impossible. Hell, I would prefer to have to CV lines with identical plane numbers if it meant more balance. Hell, maybe doing so players can choose between having 4 planes pr squadron but more of them in the air, or 6 planes but less squadrons, this way people can choose depending on what they feel comfortable with and what the balance requires. Remember, CV aren't just balanced against each other, also other ships. Too many many bombers and too tight bomb/torpedo spreads can make them OP, too little health and they are useless as soon as the enemy has just somewhat decent AA. To me it just looks like they are focusing too much on making each line unique than getting them balanced properly. US and IJN CV have allways had problems with each other, either one was OP and doing so much better or ít was the other. I can't remember a point where they were equally good.

They have stated that there is an option to turn it off for those who don't want to have it. Also, this was done as part of a collaboration as part of marketing in asia. The laser effects for guns and such they got all ready from april fools. The skins are easy to do for the artist, and since it was part of marketing, it was not just done for crapand giggles. It did not come at the cost of anything else. Also, the artist doesn't fix bugs. Also, EU had nothing to do with it what so ever. They just saw that it was done and thought we might like to have it moved here as well. Basicly, it's extra content for those who would like to have it, and for those that don't, well no loss there.

That entire series pretty much sums it up

Also, I bet that ship would have an easy time to evade torps. Is it possible that some would even pass under the ship? I have no idea about such small vessels.

Well, to be honest I have seen several people they state they don't care. And more importantly, remember that EU had nothing to do with this. It was SEA. EU just decided to say "Hey, they allready made this as part of a collaboration on the SEA, why not take the assets and get them here? They are allready done, it will take no effort at all!"

If you are asking about the women. Ofcourse they are, haven't you seen the poles? Apparently Norway is famous for it's tall blond women. No idea why, oh well. Also I am fine with my norwegian friends being repressented, as long as it is not those pesky swedes. Still have not forgiven you for taking Norway from us!

Remember, this was made in the beginning as part of a promotional collaboration in Japan I believe with the SEA office. EU had nothing to do with this. Also, promotional offers are constantly made anyway, so why not get a few free skins out of it? No productivity is lost. Also, you have the option to disable it, so it won't break emersion, not that having USN, RN, KM, IJN and so on fighting together to be very immersive. Now, if they had made entire new ships that they had spent time modeling and so on, then sure. But considering they are just doing a quick reskin there isn't really a problem. Hell, the Zao had an Arpeggio skin during the April fools event, and their allready got the effects for lasers done there.

Apparently people did not read the news, otherwise they would know people have the option to disable it. Just proves that people never use their brain. In any case I think it is nice to have it.

Banned because it is his own deal. Also, he is allready crazy enough as it is. We really need to make it worse?

I am trying to farm E3 for Akizuki, and those damn Ri class are just so annoying. I stopped farming E4, the problem was never to get through there. The problem was, you get a perfect S rank with all ships still green and... No drop... These events are so troll with RNG. Especially since I got Akistu Maru, Roma and Nowaki. Nice enough to get them, but they weren't my goal. Also hoping for Nagato but I keep getting Mutsu. I swear, it is desire radar at work.

Well, it certainly seems like there will be a bunch of special mission where you can earn the ships, and then they will probably work like just a standard premium ship with a special coat of paint. At least that is what is most likely.

Oh yes. We are going to get the Arpeggio stuff in WoWs now. Really wish they would do something with Kancolle as well, but 1 out of 2 ain't that bad

Hmm, this event has made me come to wonder, is there really any historical reason, that prevents Akitsu Maru from launching bombers? Granted, the only thing I have ever heard her use, were observation aircraft and that autogyro. I am no expert on these small converted ships, does anyone know what their capabilities were? I am wondering if her ability to only use fighters ingame is historical or just for pure balance.

God damn it RNG is annoying. I just want Akizuki and Prinz, but I have gotten Akitsu Maru and now Roma. Sure, it is nice to finally have them as I was missing the, but come on!

Okay, was really wondering about Kawakaze as mine is also rather low level (wish it wass umikaze, I actually leveled her).

What ships did you use and what lvl were they? I am considering finishing of on hard once I am done farming and depending on resources remaining.

Got both Umikaze and Kawakaze sitting comforable in my port since summer, a shame I didn't level them as it seems Kawakaze is usefull here. I did Use Mizuho as apparently AV allowed for branching rules in E3 and I did not want to go through those Imps while farming, too RNG heavy. And as both Chitose and Chiyoda are CVL, that left me with her and Akitsushima (who is not that good).

My second run farming E4 boss let me get all the way to the boss with barely any damage, everyone still had green HP. Managed to get a perfect S rank victory and was rewarded with Graf Zeppelin. Wonder how much of my monthly RNG I just used Unfortunately for some reason the screenshot I took of her arrival disappeared somehow. And KC3 refuses to take screenshots. Oh well, at least that is one less thing to do.

Yeh, I ended up switching to easy as well, just not worth the salt. Still, I am not looking forward to having to farim for Akizuki or Zeppelin. Will have to see how it goes.

E3 is annoying. Trying to farm Ikazuki, but she just won't drop, never mind that I barely make it too the boss. Can deffinetly feel that my DD fleet isn't the greatest. Worst is, with work and so on I barely got time to play. Wondering if I should just cut my losses and go for rewards ships and worry about drops another time

True. There has to be something to balance her out. Still, she can be a favourite based on her look alone.

Wait what? Okay, there is some serious powercreep going on right now. Love how it differentiate the ships with so many to choose from, but lets hope it doesn't end up with leaving the rest in the dirt. The others deserve love too

Damn it. Allmost forgot about the Event due to exam preperations, and the ocasional dip in to Fallout, a really buggy mess, but good when it works Well, time to put on my admirals hat and get some work done

I believe you can allready see sand under the sea in some places where it is too shallow for ships, but I can't really remember.
