oh and furukako
This grinding makes me wish my tech box luck wasn't so fucking bad
i want lots of retrofits 
I literally only have enough proper gear for like 1 of each ship lmfao
that's normal. takes a long time to get several sets.
I'm well off on equipment so far except for one thing
fucking cudas

I'm gonna be spending every bit of oil on C3
2
and 17 catapults
go figure
I just can't pull a gold cuda to save my life
STOP FUCKING UP DISCORD REEEEEE
If it's any consolation I have 0 roombas
STOP FUCKING UP DISCORD REEEEEE
If it's any consolation I have 0 roombas
D3 has bofors
what's a roomba
The UFO AA
oh the 113mm
Okay yea fuck Discord right now
funny thing, I got my first 113mm like 3 weeks ago from farming
got like 6 of every other gold AA gun that's not PR
except for the 113mm
Same
maybe i should crack some boxes
KGV is fun
ufo is hms, right? let's see...
Not sure
Yeah it's HMS AA
Never drops though
well, i can't post it, but i got one from a 10-pull
HMS box might as well be called "crappy BB gun" box from my experience 

with a small amount of pompoms
Btw
5/6 Level 49
Level 32 KGV

Full speed ahead
33 boxes, two gold drops, one ufo
oi
Meanwhile I just want a gold Quad gun for KGV
dats 4 trophy m8
I mean I wasn't going to leave it anyway
Yes

I still dont get why I even bothered to +10 this
I was like "Woo, make a gun for georgie"
then I realised "oh wait this gun's only worth it for mob killing, it's complete ass on boss"
i think that gun dropped from the pow event and we were young and dumb
Yep
it was a reward from PoW, dropped on PoW, but was already in techboxes prior
Yeah
speaking of drops
we got a shop reward SSR
but no SSR drops this event
what's up with that
Probably
Zuikaku was both shop exchange, map drop and construction bait
Because of the fact we need 6 for MLB
Don't get why they decided that would be the better idea though
Oh right, we have to get everything and mlb everything to complete the event rewards 
I was trying to forget that nonsense
I'm still pissed off about the 3k furniture set
my urgents are complete ass
I think I barely even broke 130 coins yesterday
So are mine
wait
something's not right there
nani
Nimi has 222 ASW when maxed out
I was running Minnie as solo vanguard cause I have to use a CA
Just use her as a super boost
I mean let's be honest
This event
Has been a giant middle finger to everyone
Why not add more
It's not a matter of having problems
It's a matter of it being a huge pain in the ass for no reason
honestly I dont think I ever questioned so many decisions within one event
It's because we don't have the 120 cap yet
I have like 6 fleets worth of ships now
Not even OG VDIR was this much hassle for me
and my fleet was so ass back then
I actually had to sacrifice Vestal to 3* D3
cause I couldn't keep my fleet alive to kill everything
this isn't even difficulty anymore, it's just making you jump through hoops on fire while wearing clown shoes filled with cement
that's not a challenge
I know
But when you first started
Shit was rough in some things
3*'ing woulda been a different challenge
But when there's like
15 hoops
All on fire
With a wall inside them
It makes you question the purpose
500 ASW stat makes 0 sense when you put it on top of "You must bring a CA into one fleet cause fuck you"
Pretty sure Z46 and Nimi make up 90% of my ASW
Tldr
To hit the cap
You're basically forced
To use CVL as well
Don't forget that one
Yar CVL's have ASW
I mean the issue isn't me not having ships to use
"The total stats of the specified two types in fleets that meet the second requirement is greater than the required total."
the issue is I'm having to throw oil away for no logical reason
other than "You gotta do this, them's the rules"
Gdi Yostar, I had enough of this shit in KC
do we really have to go through this again
You have to do D4
Yea I feel that
What I dislike about hard mode
Is it is literally nothing about being hard
But literally about
"You must use X comp and you get 0 choice"
Tbh, the extra maps don't give more cutscenes so I doubt I will touch them
Not sure
or is it a one-time 800 points
SP is one charge per day
Ok that's legit bullshit
No matter how you switch it
"Oh you must complete hard mode with these ultra specific comps to unlock this"
Is actually legit bullshit
I just can't believe they sisters

that said, I do like that they brought the SP map back from kizuna event
really liked the fact you could do that map once a day for big point reward
and apparently this SP's easier level-wise
Guess I'm gonna be just farming the lower half
it's lvl100
And saying fuck it to half 2
And yeah
It's actually just as bad
7 fleets + boss
Tbf
no restrictions
Kizuna
That event
If you noticed
Had no differences between servers
It was based around level 120
Not 110
Which is why it was so brutal for us
ok, this has to be a typo
I looked up the kizuna event since you brought it up
and I noticed this
this shit can't be real
I only cleared Kizuna SP5 because I had all the ships I used at 110 and 200 Affinity
That's it
If I didn't I wouldn't have done it
3 starred that is
Fyi I cleared that
all servers had less or equal to 8, but we had to bring less than 8?
it better be
huh
Like not even kidding a SINGULAR HP
Clearly based around 120
No the boss was though
^
what caused trouble was the fact that it wouldn't update your progress without restarting. even if you cleared it with 3 stars, it wouldn't show. it caused a lot of confusion.
Boss fucking hurt
Boss absolutely destroyed hp
I just prayed to the Evasion gods
I mean, I just manuel'd the boss and it was k
because people said "i did it, but it didn't work" even though it did
It's because the thing is a lot of people didn't realize
Is what the
"Lower than"
Sign is
Vs
that as well
"Lower than or equal too"
Which is a different thing
The game was well
Not very good at explaining it
A good few of my friends
Thought it meant less than 8 fights
That's how bad it was for explaining
As the word deploy
I mean it says "Deploy" so
Has multiple meanings
btw
I took it as use "x" amount
on the topic of the new UI's font choice being absolute ass
SAME
did we run out of black color to use as outline for the letters
I mean if I'm honest
i used a magnifying glass and it was still illegible
The best colour there
Would have been pretty much
Anything besides blue / black or white
Literally any of the other colours
I'm still not sure if the exp requirement for the faction achievement medals says 2 million or 20 million
the zeros are just blending in for me
20 million 
But yeah I do dislike how hard is run
"We're just gonna put these limitations on you so that all those cool botes you farmed up mean absolutely nothing and you just wasted your time even bothering"
Like if we're gonna get forced to use only certain botes why bother having such a massive collection
Especially when pretty much every event
Hey you know all the botes you actually like using, Yea those ones, you can't use them here, use this bad shit
Has a BC limitation
Slapped in somewhere
You know
That one bote type
you need a large selection. it gives you more options to fill those requirements.
That only has like
6-8 botes in it
At most
Most of which are actually garbage to use
You know what's sad, for all the shit I give KC about its hoops on fire with "You gotta use these x ships for best routing otherwise eat a dick"
at least there's some logic behind it
cause you're using the historical fleets
I have 36 botes I can fill in to any fleet, but still I have my favourites I like using over the others
AL's hard more requirements meanwhile are just "huh?"
Why do I need 10 levels more than the enemies on the map have
Only to basically get told you're not allowed to
I mean I can use Izumo on this new Hard mode since her Reduce AP damage skill is fucking great, but Dork does the job better
Even if she takes more damage
Shit is weird
why do I have to use a heavy cruiser on 1 fleet specifically when the map requries me to run ASW
Yeah like that for example
Why do I even need ASW in the first place
Makes so little sense
there's no submarines to fight
Like I fucking LOATHE heavy cruisers, yet I have to use one
"Let's make you use a stat that literally isn't needed in this fight"
CAs are amazing once they go past lvl100
Like the thing about CA's
This wouldn't be so bad if A
We had 120
And B
Amazing or not, I still don't like them, they are so slow and shit
I like using CAs but I like not spending 40 oils on mob clearing arbitrarily cause the game decided that for me
We had time to actually get the wheel
ca's are amazing if you know how to use them
Hi Fish 
Cause let's be honest
Its not even a matter of knowing how to use them, I just don't like the sluggishness
yeah, and sadly, you barely get any wiggle room with CAs
As nice as CA's can be
CA's are just painful whenever damage comes their way
put them with DDs 
Because they die faster than any other unit
Despite being med armour
With the Beaver Badge
well, you obviously give them beaver
Still slow as shit
Actually
know what'd be cool to have?
Despite having better armour
that speed boost you get from the U-556 mini event
gimmie that button perma
make it increase ramming damage when you use it

I'm gonna level up glowworm just for fucking memes
"If used with glowworm instantly one shots upon ramming"
i don't know. i used to hate CAs, but now i love them. they're great.

GLOWWORM

PAWNCH
But yeah CA's main issue is that
120 + wheel
Are kind of the only way to really make them relevant
We don't have the first
And most haven't even gotten the second
Yeah it's really painful to run them
i farmed roon with 3 KMS CAs. they're fine.
Where do we get wheel
PR
I farmed Nep using CL's all the way
Bruh
25 prints
And if you use a full fleet
That's 75 you're gonna need


The sad part is
Well seeing as I can't ever get anything I want
Rip using CAs
That without that stuff
CA's are just far less efficient to farm with
They take so much damage it's unreal
Okay but riddle me this
Despite being med armour
Which type has more waifus
Vs CL light
CL's
Easily

Not to mention
The fact that most CA's
Rely on their primary weapon for damage
Makes them incredibly sluggish
Only really good CA's are gun botes
Torp bote CA's just don't hit hard enough with their torps
To make up for their lack of secondary guns
Keep in mind this is from someone who literally started the game playing nothing but CA's
CAs suck on lower levels. they're fine at max.
It still doesn't make up for the lack of actual secondary guns though
There's a reason porkland kai
Is a joke
speaking of CAs
As a bote
Because of her dual guns
And her insane amount of evade due to kai
You know maybe I'll go for Saint Louis
I literally only have Belfast at a combat ready status

portland is a tank. her only job is to survive.
Except she does that
While doing damage
Dodge tanking 
Which is why she's considered one of the best CA's
Because she does something OTHER than tanking
If tanking was the only reason
Prinz would be op
Poor Prinz
But she's not
portland is easily the sturdiest tank in the game
While also bring damage
It's why she's super strong
She does both
I've seen vids with lvl 120 pornland autobattling the torp daily
Tanks are good and all but it means nothing if you hit like a piece of paper
I mean
she could hit every single possible torpedo and she'd still have half her hp at the end
Really dislike her personality tbh
yeah her personality can be irritating
but she shares lewds with you so she's fine

I could just use Atago and have lewds for life and not need to ask 

May be squishier but still better than Portland
my only problem with atago is that she needs to be oathed
Izumo is like a mother, always scolding me and shit
Izumo is mommy???

I'm liking george though
Alright Nagato, get ready for some intense action
In tents
for some reason, i don't like kgv at all
KGV is hot and that's 99% of what matters
2nd limit break for me
Going full speed

๐
Izumo even says in her oath line, "Commander you have that gloomy expression again, It makes me just want to scold you all the time....."
I'm at almost 7000 so I can almost taste her
Alright that's it I'm getting Izumo

Her dress looks amazing though
i dont like pow either, but her jotaro skin saves her
So Izumo is definitely an S

Also Izumo has the benefits of that HOT New Years skin
mh dont care bout kgv's skin, like the default better
Izzi skin
pretty much the only reason to get her
I mean I'm still gonna use Izzi very often

But that's because I actually don't mind her downside
izzi come
What's her downside
I heard she's like the worst PR or smth

Well what does she bring to the table other than her delicious self
Basically
she needs to the flagship to make the most out of her, but she takes the most damage from fire, which is the single most dangerous thing in higher worlds.
She sets ablaze easily
Just like german products
๐ฅ
Just like Hood

that's basically izu

Hood's Ammo at least
that being said, if we get events where the enemies do AP damage instead of HE
She's hot and I'll just use Amagi for higher level worlds so it's fine
Izumo's gonna be pretty beastie
and if there's one thing you don't want, it's a flagship that dies faster than others
a fire extinguisher makes it pretty easy to get through anyway 
I love the idle animation where her hand catches fire and she gets super flustered, I know its a bad thing but she's fucking cute
she has excellent stats though
Right now my Izumo is literally the tankiest flagship I have for the event
Because of her skill
She takes like 70 damage a shell versus Dork taking 140+
"Increases own Speed by 3 (8). After battle begins: increases own Evasion by 15% (35%) for 40 seconds."
"Increases own HE damage dealt by 15% (35%), and lowers chance to ignite by 3%."
That's saint
So she physically moves faster and dodges better
Basically
Saint Louis and Monarch are probably the 2 easiest for me to get since I use HMS BB's and USS CL's
If you get Belchan
And take Belfast
And merge them
and she hits harder
You get saint
Oh and obviously convert to a CA
Huh
Oho

isn't Saint Louis a CL?
no she's a CA
as if you needed a guide for that lmao
Huh
That's why her evade
80 base 120 evade
So that evade buff
Is massive on her
I think anyways
And considering most fights
Never last that long
I'm probably going to get warned if I post a closeup pic of Saint Louis' mounds anyways
It makes her super tanky and high damage
"276"
Not to mention this FP
+35% HE damage
And you roast people real good
So is she worth getting over like Roon or Nep
๐ฅ
Roon is about on par
Albeit for different reasons
They all serve different purposes
Nep is lower because she's not a super damage dealer
But she's more of a solo unit
they all do different things, and you'll get them all eventually
10 minutes later
ok I set up my D2 fleet, 517 ASW, let's finally start clearing this map


Nep is basically there to replace your Cassins and Phoenix's etc
Yea
In lower worlds the others are still better if ya want to save oil
I did the quiz and I got Montpelier

While roon and saint are just monsters period
I have Nep now to run her in place of Nimi since Nimi solo in world 10 is oil efficient but still risky if RNG fucks me
What does Roon offer other than her epic shield thing
Her damage
Is insane
Her secondary for one
Roon has insane DPS
her stacking reload
makes her basically turn into a minigun
- cruiser reload command
Don't forget
25% crit from bisko too
And you suddenly have a frontline beast
Wait
Who splatters everything
Her maingun swaps
you can basically make her shoot as fast as a CL

with CA guns
roon is a psychopath with a minigun, on a boat

Like
Does it change like
It changes every X shots
What type of ammo you shoot
Or like
But because of the speed from her buff
It's much faster
Tummy 
The baking question is literally the Neptune flag
Neptune bakes
lol
wait, what is this quiz
So you can just give her any gun
i will defeat this quiz
Since it just swaps between HE / AP
All that matters
Oh that's kinda neat
Is how much damage it does
Alright Roon is next
Basically
She works like massachussetts

In that sense
@sour crescent what's that quiz all about
Let's see uh
I have Prinz and Deutschland
I hope Spee comes back real soon
For?
What did you need them for lila
link? 
๐
I'll do it later
I need to grind Roon

In both ways
And because Spee is cute af
Do you not have the common botes?
i can live with that
She's cute so that's all that matters
The common CL's are best for farming with honestly
Since they're cheap
Also I don't have the common botes leveled up yet
I'm just making do
Like really cheap
Yikes
I remember that feeling
I got Monti out of it

I mean I also don't have the commons levelled, I just run solo Nimi/Cleve 
They are cheap
they couldn't have gone for a more polar opposite for me 
Like when I first did neptune
I had like
No botes
About half way
I got belchan and edin leveled
To speed it up
Also like which common botes
It was a very painful experience
Konig class
There's 3

"CL's count"
CA or CL botes
For things like roon / neptune those counts
Okay so quick question, KGV has no merit for using her Quad gun aside from
6 second gun volley correct ?
So should I just level all three or just use the CAs I have and like Karlsruhe retro or smth
Yea I figured
KGV
So no real merit
Aside from memes
He barrage is basically
I'm just gonna go with the trusty 406 on her
Is better on her than any other
Well that's a big yikes
I wouldn't use her on boss anyway, my boss fleet usually is Nugget with Akaga
the damage is garbo, the spread is trash and the skill only barely makes the gun "competent"
meanwhile you trade off a big amount of damage due to normal shells and stats
razz
I remember now because things on paper always represent in game
you're arguing with aquan here
I mean
they do when the skills are fixed
which most of the skills are
most of the barrages for bbs are fixed to the skill level
Except datamining never accounts for how barrages work
In terms of oh I dunno
Being reliable to hit
Holy I almost posted U-556 lood
can you show me the numbers are wrong
Except what you're saying is once again just numbers
Numbers don't represent how it would play out in an ACTUAL scenario
Random spawn and placements of enemy boats makes literally everything subject to variables

But the spawns are only random on the map
And you should know better aquan
the actual enemies spawn in the same places
There is no undisputed best of anything because anything can work well if the spawns are in your favour


I didnt even say numbers are everything lol
and what do enemy spawns have to do with her damage number on barrage being what it is
Damage actually hitting lol
her number doesnt magically change because a main fleet spawned in E3 instead of aviation
And it's a fact that her shell dispersion on the quad
You're looking at her barrage damage in a vacuum
razz coulda said "u rite" at the start and it'd have the same result after all this talking

The spawns within the node do determine the amount of damage, I have had a map where Nugget did 1k and another where she did 100k 
If things are bunched any barrage will do more damage
Irrespective of how bad it is on paper
So how exactly does this make me wrong in saying the quad is only really good when fighting mob fleets

and not the boss
well... i don't like kgv, and i trashed all my quads. that makes things easier for me.
Cause it soudns to me like you're proving my point
And I specifically said the gun is fine for mob fleets
but against the boss it's garbo
And I agreed

I won't use her in boss
Because I know the gun works better with larger enemy volumes
then what are we even arguing about 
I'm not arguing 
Barrage damage is variable more so than Volley damage
nou

So now that that is over
Who wants a cute Izumo picture

I do
72 on ibuki, slowly getting there
Change your name to Neptune and it'll go by much smoother

IJN bias is lame

Now I need to decide if I want Louis or Roon
I either get religious bitch or crazy bitch
IJN bias is lame, but Izumo is not an example of IJN bias
Yes
^
Not what I meant but sure

Just change your name to Neptune and it'll go by smoother

Monarch 1 mil at 10%

I want to heck Portland
I'll heck you up

What skin
Oh yes
I see leg, I like leg
Well

It's shame
I like how she's looking down on me like I'm filth but at the same time
Too high to see under the dress a bit more 

How does one get a bunch of cores
Don't spend them
wait the z23 quest doesnt work with ch7 hard?
oh yey
had forgotten my laptop's charger at the office and was too lazy to pick it up and was wondering what to do
my brother saw me playing s;g on the last shreds of its battery and was like "come play it on my vita so I'll get the achievements"
he really doesnt let me touch the vita or the ps4 unless if there's a merit (aka achievements) for him 
and they were doing so fine as well
oh, so it's universal aux with heli?
yeah I thought they meant it's like a fusoushiro style slot
which would be dumb cause they just learned how to not do it with zeppy
Which they should really update the BBVs and Houshou in that regard
Konigsberg retro for epic dominatrix when
amusing, while in AL Akagi and Kaga behave themselves as sisters, originally IRL they not only were built separately, but even had different hull type. BC for Akagi and BB for Kaga, so last was less agile
so they more like work partners, no more
Lul
like, entirely different ships
they were reformed to cv or supposed to be idk 
its covered in crimson echoes
we even have a bb kaga so
George's secretary quest

some of the soft side 
Wales and York. no mention of KGV
(Probably because that line was written long before KGV was thought of)
damn laught so hard at these new sort of story scenes 
HERE COMES THE
**Booomm----
READY OR NOT
Okay wtf
Monarch's art is pristine perfection and then the little bits of hair on her shoulder are like
How about Boob
I believe, such scene would be decent plot twist 

damn too bad I can't post here that new North Carolina bg 
This absolute manman ignored the anti-bird spikes

was not intended to, but first time totally plot & historically accurate battle 
(merely farm Monarch and here...)
wait, something wrong 
Because attractiveness attracts the Lolis I guess.

Cute
Ur cute
