    E-4 cleared - tbh I had no real time or desire to try higher difficulty especially when Easy rewards are just very poor and on medium I expect problems bigger than one gun for HMAS Perth is worth. I just literally murdered this map with 3 tries for P1 and 6/6 S-Ranks for P2 without caring about debuff. PvP weekly shame fleet is partially ready. In next weekend I will probably try to farm for Houston. All Hail Emperor Palpatine (female variant) !!!

    E-3 cleared. Perth was my main aim due to one book which I read as teenager but luckly first time I get 100% of which I want: Their stats didn't seems to be impressive, I hope at least for nice personality for Perth. In that book which I read many years ago it was that last commander of Perth started to laugh when first from four torpedos hit his ship ( he was dead few minutes later )

    Narai horror stories. How badly did your team fail?

    Marblehead_1 replied to DanSilverwing's topic in General Discussion

    Operations in random team sometimes are very funny. One time in Flint or Nueve I went for CV as I told at start of battle - if I'm playing cruisers I'm always tell at start where I go and it works. Teammate Fiji and Z-39 go for transports. They sink 1 from 5 transports and rest escaped. How? I have no idea. Any cruiser deleted in first 4 minutes is also annoying but in most cases this ship could be useful in same way. Bright side is Operations Channel - few times with random players which I met there I was able to do 4-5 stars with only 4 players in team ( 2CL's+2BB's ) and I really appreciate this. Ok, I can understand that somebody can potato because is newbie and this operation can be his/her first playing of this but most cases they aren't new. Anyway I dind't think that Narai generates bad players. It's still one of easiest operations. Newport is much more potato-unfriendly. About accurate fire of bots. One of first shells from one of internal forts in Killer Whale cost me about 10k hp in Duca D'Aosta.

    Perth looks so sweet, she resembles me for a little AL Leander which means instant like. Unfortunately she didn't have white/light grey and black motifs coming from last camouflage De Ruyter is also nice - looks sweet and green motif of clothing as green camouflage which she weared in 1942? Houston? We got problem. Her face is definitely not the best but it's only my opinion. I'm very interested how usefull will be Shinshu Maru. 4 slots in Kai form but nothing more I get about her so far but I didn't expect new Nisshin. E-1M cleared. Easy map. Nothing interesting dropped.

    Something like that. I would add to it that Gold Boxes are worth of effort if You didn't have enough Purple/gold equipment but it's secondary because it's having smaller value than PR Blueprints. I'm going through maps with Ise and Hyuuga for Izumo grind with Portland because I want her to hit lvl 120.

    If you are like me didn't strongly interested in this Hololive Event I would prioritize this Research Blueprints as most important ( I will for sure try to get all of new characters and complete all maps with limited Izumo grind team to kill two birds with one stone ) They are most valuable good in game for me ( beyond retrofit Microphone and Sword ) because gems I can get from maps, recompensation and from apologems while PR Blueprints are unobtinable in any other way than Research Academy.

    About battlships. Musashi is strange for me, I strongly dislike her mixure of very feminine and very masculine look in the same time, it's disguisting for me to be honest - similar to the some sport stars. Anyway she because strong Nagato, Mutsu and Nelson Attack's isn't something very important. Yamato is probably most favourite battleship in game, Nagato is 100% neutral, there are no many character beyond some DD's which didn't generate in me anything. Colorado is very funny, Roma has strange look but it corresponds with her personality, Iowa is carricatural and her "assets" are just too big. I agree that Ise class is ugly in stock form and in Kai form but they stole me in K2 form although I know that similar look done by Konishi, Bob or Yoshinori will invent a more interesting faces. Here is example of nice Ise ( in style of game CG ) without potato face drawn by fan artist ( R-18 page but image is safe )

    This off-topic is in off-topic in off-topic about cute anime girls so no off-topic is impossible ( logic or rather lack of logic in this sentence is purposeful ) I like Fubuki, but mainly due to the The Movie than due to anime which was inconsistent - I would prefer more warfare than slice of life element. Favourite characters from KC? I would rather say that will be from each class. From DD's Hayashimo because she is great example how to present tragedy and horrors of war in teenage girl, From CL's Natori due to her peaceful personality ( and how her one line is responsing to the fate of some survivors which drifted for about month until rescue ), from (F)BB/(V)'s it will be for sure Ise K2 and Yamashiro, Ise K2 and Hyuuga due to their attitude ( energical Ise and a little bit cynical Hyuuga ) and Yamashiro due to Surigao Strait Battle. From CV's Taihou due to her melancholical side, Zuihou for her energy and from auxiliaries What it's most funny I dislike most of so called "married" warships ( it's only strong battleships with high consumption of resources ) with exception of Ise K2 ( she seems to be very attractive in her K2 form, strange that she didn't have too much arts, this normal and R-18 too )

    For Matsu class there is also case of very strong torpedo armament which in so powerful form wasn't used on other Destroyers Escorts. Hunt class was in first batches built without torpedo tubes. About classification there were more interesting warships like Panzerschiffe's from Deutschland class and Tsukuba/Kurama armored cruisers. Panzerschiffe ( armored warship ) later was reclassified as heavy cruiser and Tsukuba and Kurama were reclassified as battlecruisers. Panzerschiffe was as I remember term to describe steel armored warships from XIX century strongly unadequate in 30's of XX century ( nobody tell me that USS Monitor or CSS Virginia were similar to the AGS beyond main material used in shipyard) and Tsukuba/Kurama were strange hybrid of armament of pre-dreadnought and semi dreadnought battleship ( Ibuki and Kurama had 305m and 203mm main battery like some semi dreadnoughts armed with 2*II 305mm + 203-254mm guns ) with armored cruiser hull. Deutschland class has more similarities with battlecruiser, armored cruiser or maybe even with large cruisers ( which was later term ) or maybe its strange hybrid of all of them? This is even more interesting than IJN Kaibokans ( btw there were also 100% obsolete ex russian Coast Defence Battleships armed with 3-4 254mm guns, which were similar to the Ukuru or Okinawa in same way as USS Monitor to the AGS or frigates from Napoleonic wars with WWII Capitain class, but it's normal when one name of class is used during centuries ) Yes, this is nice to discuss! I much more prefer in naval history period 1880-1918 - there was so many interesting constructions but unfortunately in WoWs is so much neglected although there were so many interesting designs.

    Oh yes, classification is sometimes very strange. Buckley class was Destroyer Escort but Capitain class ( Buckley class in RN but without torpedo tubes ) were frigates. From other hand most Kaibokans were smaller than Destroyer Escorts and Patrol Frigates but have similar displacement to the Flower class corvette ( Gabbiano class have displacement close to the C and D classes ) with better artillery armament ( 2-3*120mm vs 1*102mm ) and many different AA setups. Matsu class as I remember were still classified as DD's. Anyway I agree that DE shortcut is wrong in KanColle and DE's - Samuel B. Roberts in game is just slow DD.

    Normally I'm not interested into collab ships because it's rarely hit my likings but interesting did this Polaris Event ships are also count for PR grind ( especially Gascogne Muse for Gascogne ) and tech points. If not then I'm rather not have problems with cubes. Also choice of Polaris girlsband members is strange for me. At least they could find characters with some reference to the music even in form of patrons of warship names like Jamaica - country of Reagge, she even had black beret like Peter Tosh, Leipzig - city of J.S.Bach ( my only 19 point capitain for DKM BB's has original name Karl Richter as this famous conductor, organist and harpsichordist ) and R.Wagner, Friedrich der Grosse - Prussian king which was also recognized flutenist ( I can imagine how it will be exploited in case of AL FdG ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ), composer and friend of J.S.Bach, West Virginia - county meme song.

    Marblehead_1 replied to Ocsimano18's topic in General Discussion

    In case of Gorizia I will try to get her for 100% collectionary purposes even if this few coops in her will be only battles in this ship. For PR it depends from how time costful will be missions but I will rather try for collection as "Container ship" ( ship for TX containers ). Beyond missions from Directive 7 on TX CV ( maybe I could try to get Audacious for Container ) and IJN/FR CA's I got rest possible TX's in port so it's not problem for me. 100% F2P this Christmas.

    P-102 named this ship one of modellers companys which made model of this warship https://www.super-hobby.co.uk/products/P-102-ex-USS-Stewart-japonski-patrolowiec.html also it's one of translation of name of this warship in my country language. There were few more ships with similar history like Dutch destroyer Banckert or even one British destroyer HMS Thracian which survived WWII as I remember. I think size of this Patrol Boat which were big escorts and ASW warships are closer in this form to the Kaibokan than full destroyer especially when they lost torpedo tubes.

    I really could understand one famous DE ( Mikura which sunk famous USN submarine, Okinawa which sunk 2 USN submarines, P-102 which was captured USN DD which participated in sinking of USS Harder ect. ) from time to time but not case like Spring 19 where DE's were 2/5 from new ships. I'm using 4 DE's and only on 1-5 and they didn't have more usefullnes. That's only all. USS Houston as drop in Normal Event Maps so Something Bigger will be EO Reward? Right?

    I managed to finish Ibuki grind. Luckly due to PR Blueprints number I was able to get her in same day to ther dev lvl 14 and close to the 15. So I hope she will be useful after little leveling. Next will be Izumo and her thighs scare me as same as Monarch's but this horns are just disguisting. Is there any purpose of leveling "Specialized Armor" skill of Izumo because it seems to me as very detrimental to her in most maps. Is it noobtrap? I'm really curious about rest of the 5 ships ( it will be 6 ships introduced right? ) Pls Tanaka, not another DE or trophy IJN DD please

    But WG has optimized premium shop Personally I'm really suprised that AL dev team so fast responsed to this. I'm playing beyond AL and WoWs only KC ( and I'm very interested about Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts ) so that's why I'm probably why I'm so suprised.

    I rather mean strange as hybrid of light cruiser, seaplane tender, training ship and minelayer which was perfect example of something made to fullfill many roles in the same time but which was poor at every role in same time. In KC probably only thing which keeps me still in this game will be probably waiting for few warships ( De Ruyter, Perth, Sydney, british CV's mainly ) but I'm also know that in AL I recive them probably much faster. IJN isn't my main interesting in terms of naval history. When it comes to the designs characters I like many KC characters and I like many AL characters, althought in AL I'm not forced to use some characters and I'm not lose anything although in AL I have more characters which I can't stand like roon. About "married" ships in KC. I would rather name it as something similar like buying Permanent Camouflage for Des Moines ( my most played TX ) and Conqueror and it would be best analogy. My "only" married ships are Musashi, Yamato, Iowa, Ise, Nagato and Colorado - let's say honest it's not matter of like and dislike but only stats with fuel and ammo savings. I just like to have "good" content even better. Well, we have different approach. Thats all.

    I rather mean all allied bigger warships which participated in Battle of Java Sea. Name of new event is Second Southern Offensive and it will took place in former Dutch East Indies as was announced so speculations are possible. Last ranking rewards were guns for early USN heavy cruiser which may hint USS Houston but still I'm sceptic because beyond Taffy 3 KC avoids warships sunk by IJN. If they introduce HMAS Perth or De Ruyter I could remove my complaints but more possible for me is another dissapointment. Also it will be at least 6 new characters, from which I bet for one unimplemented Yuugumo-class destroyer which is on 2019 Calendar, one DE because why not and maybe rest could be interesting. But Gotland as reward for Rheinubung, Colorado for Pearl Harbor and Janus for Anzio are probably best examples why I'm not not expecting anything. Gotland as being strangest cruiser in world at least could have some nice gimmicks and Colorado beyond her attractive look isn't comparable in usefullness with Nelson/Nagato even with her Touch Attack. Maybe I'm strange but my aim was never 100% of collection but rather obtaining warships with interesting history and interesting characters in which I love to seek for real life references. Of course noname warship didn't mean poor design but beyond maybe few examples nonames are not interesting me but there are still nice exceptions. In example Hayashimo which is my favourite destroyer and one of most favourite characters, which history is rather short but for me it's one of greatest characters in KC because I was shocked how devs were able to depict tragedy and atrocities of war using teenage girl without falling into pathos and moralizing. It's just great.

    Ciekaw jestem czy buff radaru na Salemie ma szansę na zwiększenie jego popularności w CW w ich aktualnej formie czyli bez CV? Szczerze mówiąc sam brałem go jedynie wtedy gdy przeszkalałem kapitana z Baltimore'a na Desa po pierwsze z powodu rozłożenia sprzętów eksploatacyjnych ( rozbicie i radar/sonar zamiast DesMoinesowego Sonar/Rozbicie i Radar, bo samolotu to poza śmieszkowaniem Yuro chyba nikt nie brał na poważnie ), które do CW się średnio nadają a po drugie przez bardzo krótko trwający i mający niewielki zasięg radar. Teraz radar pozostanie nieco dłuższy ale reszta pozostanie bez zmian.

    Although I'm still playing KC, I'm more reluctant to this game. Maybe I'm a little different from rest because I mainly due to WoWs heard about KC and AL. KC with all this new gimmicks is just frustrating, while selection of new characters is just poor ( Summer 19 was big disappointment ) and I'm really wait for more info about new characters, if really they add some of allied cruisers from Java Sea ( probably most awaited warships/characters both in WoWs and in KC/AL ) I will for sure give KC second chance, if not at least I will be more calm in gaming. Also KC is not rewarding in most cases. Last event E-3 cost me more resources ( with easier difficulty than E-2 and E-1 ) than both first maps for single ASW destroyer which I have many ( worth to mention that during farming I lost twice times more resources only to recive middle finger ) so KC is very frustrating.

    They will be retrofitted but tbh without Yat Sen they have lesser priority ( I wait for Lunar New Year because I could get her even if I need to spend 200 cubes ) also I need my Purple Bullins for other ships. How they fight exactly on Chapter 12? Currently I'm on 11-1 but I for sure made this meme fleet. I saved your screens to remember how fit them.

    No jokes about their age this time and I'm really interesting how this RoCN Vanguard is working on high chapter maps? I heard one time that it's some kind of strongest posible Vanguard Fleets. I'm asking because I have Fully Limit Broke Ning Hai and Ping Hai but unfortunately no Yat Sen. Emille Bertin author had nice other that AL works ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) My private Azur Lane Task Force: From KC Cost Economic Task Force: Musashi, Yamato, Iowa, Ise, Nagato and Colorado with maybe Mutsu and Kirishima or Hiei will be also added, but it's very maybe. Let's say honest beyond Ise K2 like/dislike is not a matter in this case and last two only because I was stupid and spended money on this.

    First or second build after maintaince for me. That's nice because I'm collecting RN CL's but she is only Rare so I think it's not a problem to get her from light pool which is relatively cheap. About PR farm I have maybe strange tactic but I'm linking farming PR with leveling characters which I will use in future. In example during farming for Ibuki I'm leveling Isuzu which as I read had second highest AA stat ( worse that I will probably didn't use Atago and Abukuma after finishing farming ), for Saint Louis I will use Montpellier, San Diego and Helena ( I neglected USN so far so I should fix it ) and during farm for Izumo I will use beyond Amagi probably also one 0LB BB from Ise class which are medicore ( and maybe beyond farming tech points I will rather not use ) and Nagato which is top tier as I read. I will leave Roon because I simply can't stand her and unfortunately for this case PR ships can't be scrapped

    First I will probably want to complete Ibuki ( using Atago, Abukuma Retrofit and Isuzu to farm - I farmed Isuzu very long time so I want tu use her in battle ) and maybe Izumo grind due to idea for fast grind her ( Amagi lvl 120 oath + Ise and Hyuuga 0LB lvl 70 ). Roon is probably most disliked character in game by me so I'm not even bother with her. Saint Louis grind should be not a problem for me due to many CA and CL from USN in fleet and I think Portland/San Diego, Helena, Montpellier could be fastest option. Gascogne will be first PR2 - she is very strange but I'm like her, btw she is in reallity robot/AI or alien? Asking seriously because her lines are very strange and suggests something like that to me. Is there any explanation in lore for this? Also I'm big fan of Richelieu class and it's probably my favourite class of battleships beyond Ting Yuen class and Borodino class. Also mainly due to her I bothered with IB tech points.
