Cubes. Always cubes.

 

Facepalmed so hard when I saw that some of the research projects ate cubes.

I just ignore them and any projects that cost more than 1500coin. You can refresh once per day, too.

Currently running Spee, Deutch and Karl Kai to grind for Roon, and I probably wouldn't have used them much otherwise.

You've forgotten Leipzeig. She buffs other cruisers, making her a must for a full IronBlood cruiser frontline. My plan for Ironblood frontline is Leipzeig, Spee and Karlsrhue...Karlsrueh...Karls-fukkit just Karl(retro).

That and pile of SSRs stuck at 90lvl or so simply due to Purin shortage technically I can up foxes and cranes to max lb with what I have now, but not sure if these purins aren't better served for Nagato/Wankspite/Takao/Atago. And then Lusty twins want their attention too, with Sirius and Yucky peeking through the window...

Don't forget you can pick up Bulins/Purins from the medal and merit exchanges. Check every day, and you might find the stuff you need.

Warspite is not very effective at PvE, she's better at PvP (if PvP wasn't a joke) but she should be getting a retrofit at some point, Takao-class are both pretty strong while Nagato is top-tier for all-sakura fleet. By 'Lusty' twins I assume you mean Belfap and Illustrious - Bel is really good, but for cost efficiency Leander (retro) is basically her equal, Illustrious you don't really need to worry about until chapters 11-13, where enemy air power starts becoming absurd. Sirius...just don't bother unless you really want to, she's something of a joke meta-wise (if you really want to make a whole backrow of nothing but CVs or CVLs she's great, but that's not very useful PvE-wise) and Yukikaze is amazing for survivability with those skills.

Okay, Imma stop writing tiny now.

Basically, if you like PvP (I mean...whatever floats your boat ):

Nagato, Kaga, Akagi, Yukikaze and Takao-class (for full Sakura fleet).

If you want to run deep into PvE:

Illustrious, Yukikaze, and thats...kinda it. SRs are quite expensive oil-wise, so you'd be better off trying to minimise oil expendature while still being able to clear maps.

 

My main fleet for clearing harder maps is Tirpitz (Divergent Chessboard event...I think you started too late to have her), The Cranes and 'China Meme' (Ning Hai, Ping Hai and Yat Sen). This team has a ton of survivability - The three Chinese cruisers buff each other and are damn near impossible for PvE maps to kill (and they get buffed firepower when fighting Sakura ships...which most of the PvE maps have you doing), while the Cranes are super sturdy when put together and Tirpitz buffs herself when she's the only BB/BC in the fleet (as well as adding to damage with a quad homing torp launch every 20seconds).

Obviously, you've said you have the cranes, but be careful how you intend to use them. They'll obviously go well with Nagato, but they're more PvE focused than the Foxes who are better at PvP.

Lusty twins - Lusty and Vicky (Victorious). And I loot Purins from exchange whenever they pop in. Belfast is there at 90something lvl though, obtained mostly from commisions

 

Considering I don't play THAT much to have fuel issues, even running top kek 75+ fuel cost fleet isn't an issue, so I run full US Vanguard even when two or even single ship would get the job done. Bonus points for leveling them up for Saint Louis.

 

Though now as Honkyourlulu is secured, so I've went back to 8-4 for Maya with Atlanta trio + Hood + Shouhou because why not With DoY/[insert Yorktown sister]/Cleve/StLewd/Montpleb to tackle boss, as apparently Atlanta sisters don't pew pew enough.

Mogami Kai is better than any of the Takaos, and Jintsuu Kai (while squishy) also performs better. Jintsuu is a [edited] to get though unless you are very lucky.

That leaves only the smallest projects and the rare "free" ones.

I'll gladly pay some coins, as long as I have enough to still refit, upgrade, LB etc.

Getting all the blueprints is going to take a crazy long time even in the best of cases, so I'm not going to cheap out on research unless I'm really hurting for coins. But my cubes they'll have to pry from my cold dead hands.

I haven't forgotten her, but I only got her once Karl was pretty much maxed, so she's still only 90 and probably won't be ready before the Roon grind is over.

T minus ~3 until maintenance (for both AL CN and KC funnily enough).

Some more info:

- The E1 map was released on the stage, it's at Hokkaido. The LBAS is available in E1. There might be some gimmicks in E1.

- 1 new Shimushu class kaiboukan is a drop, another is a reward.

- E2 is a transport operation map starting from Sasebo.

- E3 reward is a light cruiser.

A new CL, huh? Apparently it has been said that she'll have twin mounts and will carry seaplanes. Too bad really, I was hoping for an Atlanta or a Cleve.

Also we're starting the gimmick train with E1 already? Really Tanaka?

E1 is usually the ASW map, which is already pretty gimmicky on its own.

New ships:

- Shimushu class kaiboukan Ishigaki (former operation drop/reward)

- Shimushu class kaiboukan Hachijou (former operation drop/reward)

- a light cruiser (E3 reward)

- a Fletcher class destroyer (latter operation drop?)

- a Colorado class battleship (E5 reward)

 

One Shimushu class is the drop, another is the reward. For now there's no specific information about which one is which.

Yay, Johnston is getting a sister.

Now only 173 more remain.

[El2aZeR]

So, AL 2.0 is live on CN.

It has a 60 fps setting. Feels very PC gaming master race. I approve. 

 

Generally speaking I very much like the new UI. There seem to be some minor responsiveness issues (sometimes when I click something it doesn't seem to register) and I have to readjust my keyboard settings but otherwise I can say nothing but great things about it.

 

 

Meanwhile in KC; maintenance has been heavily delayed.

Here's an interview with the salt king Tanaka tho:

http://en.kancollewiki.net/wiki/Kensuke_Tanaka_Interview:_Famitsu_Weekly_May_23rd,_2019

 

Few interesting things in it, but most of it we already know.

[Panocek]

EN also is of workings, handy apologems are handy. And new UI is nice as well

 

And Akashi skin quest is for those... artistically inclined

Finally a home button on almost every page!

We're live on KC.

Full patchnotes here: https://www.reddit.com/r/kancolle/comments/br2czs/news_521_patchnote/

 

- New CL is Giuseppe Garibaldi, an Abruzzi class cruiser

- Akagi K2 once again takes a ton of mats to remodel, including 2 BPs and a catapult (thank god I saved my BP this month, I had a feeling this bull would happen)

- Akagi K2 has a sidegrade that makes her into a CV(N) (called K2E)

- 2 more lolis to get thrown into jail for

- CGs can be found here: https://imgur.com/a/FwRLTLQ

-> Akagi really doesn't change much at all but her base design is imo pretty good anyway

-> Garibaldi looks great

 

Let the salt begin.

I can't quite believe that this is a thing, but it is cool that someone would think of this. I hope they did well with this thesis.

[ShinGetsu]

The new DE are pretty cute. But Garibaldi is gorgeous.

 

On another note, this event starts pretty generous. Akizuki drops in E1. Suzutsuki E2. YAMATO is droppable as well. And I think even Teru is.

[CptBarney]

Yay.

 

another event ill be missing. Is the animu for this out yet?

[CptBarney]

Also i think a certain somebody will like this image.

Tsu Flagship makes her debut as the boss of E1.

Well, there's the Atlanta I wanted. In a different way I suppose, but still...

Why Tanaka? T_T

Köln retro (not for EN yet)

But I hope it'll come soon for my Roon exp grind

[El2aZeR]

Well, that's E1 hard done. Got a Taigei and Kunashiri dupe but otherwise nothing special. May return to farm Akizuki.

*looks at E2 map*

Wow Tanaka, are you for real?

Looks like the current WoWs meta, doesn't it?
