I at least get to do something in battle other than keep in mind to send my ships back if one hits the red. All you get in KC is figuring out the optimal setup to send into battle to not get wrecked, but there exist spreadsheets for equipment dpm and tier lists for ships for a reason in AL too. So, yeah, I'm not buying that KC requires more player skill input than AL.

KC is a card game? I mean, if you look at card games, I'd think of stuff like Shadowverse.

You may not want to touch AL, but I still find it silly to trash talk AL's gameplay as "primitive" when singing praises about KC. 

I think it's closest to the genre of card games although I'm curious about real classification. 

 

About previous post with Saratoga - both with Taihou are best example about quality of characters designs in both productions My private opinion.

 

They are extremely different in terms of gameplay, KC is more accented about preparations, equipment, training, economy of the rears, selecting of strategy and equipment when battle in Events or more difficult maps is less accented - I can say it's strategy oriented when long term planning is preferable and require analyzing further steps, then AL is more oriented into action and planning with preparations ( training - KC require long leveling when leveling in AL is so complicated  sorry reduced to putting in dorm and waiting ) are secondary or even tertiary aspects. It will be exaggeration but it's like comparising chess/checkers and modern action FPS. 

 

 

I'm not singing praises about KC. I like this game very much but I see many errors done by developers too, which unfortunately aren't corrected by them or if corrected it's done too late or not hard enough. Game is extremely unfriendly to new players and I can't understand why.  If I will be able to change something in KC it will be:

- much more rare equipment accesible to not only to NEET ranking zombies but to normal players too,

- less cancerous LSC and crafting ( maybe something like "sure recipe" in example 20k,20k, 30k,100k for Saratoga, 15k,15k,25k,80k for Taihou if someone wants to not RNG waste resources in this sink ),

-  reruns of previous Events,

- more equipment mini events, ( few good mini events were done like Saury MiniEven for GFC radar, Setsubun MiniEvent for LBAS bombers like Betty and Ginga,

- seasonal CG's applicable during various other sesons,

- double or even tripled exp gain from majority of maps,

- less RNG on maps, ( this was partialy done after HTML5 transition ),

- strong composition should nuke enemys so no troll compositions like Late Fall 18 E-5P2, 

- good rewards for all difficulties for finishing maps during Events and not only good equipment for Hard difficulty and middle finger for others like it is now,

- gameplay, when I enjoy long term strategy, this mixed with FPS like battle gameplay can be awsome,

- generally speaking reducing 90% of all this salt which game generated before,

-stoping making game to make feel good ( lewd pun intended ) only endgamers with 400 slots and 400 married characters, 99% of community isn't engdamers and endgamers do not require overly special treatment - this group at end is destroying this game. Their arrogance is incredible and should be healed fast,

- make production friendly to newcomers,

- EN VERSION,

- EN VERSION,

- EN VERSION.

But end worst thing which met KC is Tanaka and his stupid strategy, almost same case as during WWII when IJN Staff were sometimes more dangerous to own navy than USN

I like how people spend time to trashtalk other game that they clearly dislike. As for myself, I dislike RPG and I just say "Meh, not my thing".

You should try Divinity II, that's a RPG very worth trying even if you're not a fan of the genre.

Well, actually Witcher 3 is pretty good, but its more like the JRPG that I really hate I guess, I get bored real fast with those grind level, grind level, grind level thing.

Considering Saint Louis was in the previous trailer and this one ends with Akashi and Belfast in the same space peacefully we will not get a repeat of a pseudo WW2 setting like the original KC series, which is probably for the best.
AL anime looks quite good after the last GFL anime trailers turned me off that show

That vid was posted a week ago, so its fairly recent it is certainly different from the other trailer. Maybe they take the al universe to a more tranquil setting?

 

although im interested about the girls themselves standing on their respective ships.

 

what does that mean wiil they be captains or actually be in the sea? Or both?

We'll most likely see AL shipgirls fighting alongside normal ships, just like in the game.

Guessing they will be on board and in control of their own ships akin do Arpeggio of Blue Steel with some sort of "ultimate" form, assembling themselves into shipgrills.

I'm back briefly from my self-imposed hiatus to deliver some news.

Also to complain about you guys arguing about KC/AL...¬_¬. Can't we just agree that KC has superior grils but AL has superior gameplay (and an Eigo Hon'yaku)?

Also I want to complain about after not turning on my PC for a few days, Firefox felt it was a good idea to replace all my tabs with a single Bing tab. F*ck Bing. Delete it, you piece of sh*t.

Anywho:-

This is a screenshot-of-a-screenshot I took shortly after I decided to start seriously pursuing my Foxmines grind on Friday (29th March).

I literally got Akagi in about 5runs of normal mode 3-4.

So naturally, I'm sat there looking at the screen thinking "Cool, now just watch as it takes me 7months to get the other one, knowing my E-ranked luck."

 

Also, now's an appropriate time to mention, I think AL Akagi/Kaga are the rare example of AL character design being better than KC.

BTW, I'm not sh*tting on Shibafu or anything; I actually like Shibafu's art - I just feel like KC's First Carrier Division are very plain for being the legends they ought to be. Having said that, the 2ndCarDiv I prefer more is KC's - I don't care much for the bunnies.

Now the stinger where I admit that I don't care for AL Akagi's personality, but I can't bring myself to like KC Akagi's personality any more. One's a dumpster fire, the other's extremely boring.

(And yeah, maybe I am biased because I have a thing for foxes. There's a reason I'm maining Tamamo-no-Mae in Fate/Extella Link (on the Switch))

 

Anyway, back into my self-imposed hiatus...

(but not before posting something else...)

It's all a matter of personal preference. People will never be able to agree on such things.

I actually like bunny, but I don't care too much for the two either. I do use Benson though.

[Zemeritt]

Problem of the ALs 2ndCarDiv is that they are also overshadowed by the other 4.
