I don’t think you understand what I mean by normal ships

no I do

Yeah well Glowworm was never a pawn

those are pawns

I mean like in OpSi you fight Jupiter

Hello
placid gulch
pawns
weak parrot
yeah pawns as normal ships is kinda stupid
severe lion
Divergebt chessboard
placid gulch
pawns are clones of the normal ships meant to be used in siren experiments
weak parrot
They literally have normal pawns
placid gulch
except they don't have consciousness

U-556 is cute
placid gulch
because they're like test dummies

Glowworn clones
weak parrot
God, they spend so much time to be lazy
silver bear
Wait
placid gulch
and it's literally one of the oldest concepts in the game
silver bear
Are we talkin abt the Fake girls?
placid gulch
so it surprises me you wouldn't know about them 
silver bear
In missions?
weak parrot
I don’t like the concept
severe lion
God, they spend so much time to be lazy
They spent all the skin money on the fucking farming game
severe lion
L'audacieux has big butt
weak parrot
And making evil twins mini bosses
Like you know, actually making evil twins
Instead of just being lazy and throwing in a Jupiter randomly
weak parrot
It would be far more compelling if the evil twins had personalities
placid gulch
like the game's very first event was all about explaining the concept of pawns and mirror sea experiments

We’re rare

yeah see
The keyword is badly
I don’t care if it’s the actual lore
It’s very bad
placid gulch
they did do it better the very next event I mean
weak parrot
it just doesn’t make sense
placid gulch
it really doesn't
severe lion
I think if you had Glowworm as your secretary you would forget about the lore nonsense and just be happy
placid gulch
I'm sorry
weak parrot
It would only make sense as a mini boss
placid gulch
I was just reminiscing
placid gulch
tea would have cussed 150 times by this point of the conversation
and Latias would have cussed 3500 times
placid gulch
and called you an idiot and dumbass 15 separate times
severe lion
Probably realized azur lane lore sucks
glad plover

placid gulch

weak parrot
I mean they can defend the lore all they want
severe lion
And left for a better game
placid gulch
maybe he died
weak parrot
but it doesn’t change the fact that it is complete shit
placid gulch

Yeah but what if Glowworm and Hipper kissed

The most infuriating part is that it could’ve worked

actually Latias just got banned from lore for being too toxic
nova monolith
Literally chapter what 3?
That is my mid opinion ngl
glad plover
When it went past WW2 is where it fell <:NurnNom:1023947331344793620>
I think they wanted to expand ww2 more but then realized that it would have pissed off the japenseeee fanbase

This trend but with glow worm and hipper

Well thank them for explaining it since it went dimensional at this point

They just seemed to value the lore less than adding new ships

I want them to make anime where it ww2 but the ships are the shipgirls

sirens are a good uniter

I want them to make anime where it ww2 but the ships are the shipgirls
as much as I'd love that, we'd get actually sued by Kadokawa
glad plover
Say goodbye to chinese faction
Nah, they could always just go pre ww1 back to 1894
weak parrot
because it wouldn’t make much sense lore wise to be using mixed fleets of AL and CA ships
placid gulch
hell I wouldn't doubt they're just waiting for a single fumble to sue lol
weak parrot
if it doubled down on the rivalry
severe lion
Kancolle 🙁
placid gulch
Kancolle 😔
weak parrot
unless story mode forced you use ships from certain factions only
glad plover
as much as I'd love that, we'd get actually sued by Kadokawa
Imagine the shit show if kadowkawa acutally tried to use ww2 as a IP lmao wtf
weak parrot
Like if you want proper continuity and to double down on the AL-CA rivalry
glad plover
Like if you want proper continuity and to double down on the AL-CA rivalry
What is CA?
placid gulch
maybe that's why they're leaning so hard into sci-fi

like you would need a mechanism in the campaign to prevent someone from using a Sakura ship in a fight against Sakura ships in the campaign
placid gulch
any resemblance to real life or proper accuracy and Kadokawa gets manjuu's ass
glad plover
they absolutely would sue manjuu's ass for being slightly similar to

severe lion
I don't get it
weak parrot
because that absolutely screws with immersion and lore
severe lion
Kancolle not even around anymore
placid gulch
oh no it very much is on a merch lifeline
severe lion
KanColle is alive and well
Ok where is kancolle Glowworm
placid gulch
and I think they actually did an anime S2
weak parrot
KC focuses on the IJN
placid gulch
Kado is holding to that IP
severe lion
Also wtf is Warship Girls R
glad plover
But for real though, they would need to rewrite to many ship girls lines and compeltelyt need to rework Tahio, akagi and all the ship girls that are obessed with you and have close realtion ship lines right out the box
placid gulch
actual chinese Kancolle
severe lion
Warship girls Has glowworm
severe lion
But they won’t
They can't
weak parrot
Because wehraboo and gooner money are more important
severe lion
The game will literally break
weak parrot
Than proper lore
placid gulch
wao, we came full circle
severe lion
The game is held together by tape
weak parrot
I mean it all comes down to wehraboo and gooner money are more valuable than immersive game play
placid gulch
and with Promilia being a thing
only one of the two is plausible -w-
glad plover
I said this before, and I'll say it again. There HAS TO BE A PROULOGE that introduces the captain (Our oc do not steal) and forces you to learn the mechanics of the game as it gives you ships for an early mob fleet and boss fleet. I didn't figure out the fleet thing tile like after 7 months when I joined this discord
viscid nest
you figured out al lol
severe lion
Oh my god
fair narwhal
KanColle is alive and well
placid gulch
Promilia is manjuu's priority rn
how that affects AL, well they just can't come and pull a gfl2

I mean I wouldn’t mind an AL2 with proper lore and game immersion

I have a question what is the worst aircraft carrier in your opinion
I say Shinano
Imagine being Sunk by 4 torpedoes
pure dew
Well she's bigass aircraft carrier
silver bear
A carrier with no planes isnt much use
pure dew
And she meant to be a battleship
pure dew
She also sister of Musahi and Yamato
silver bear
It was 4, no?
glad plover
lol
silver bear
No
glad plover
I never understood why japan didn't focus on making thier CV's as universal for all aircraft as much as possible
silver bear
It was Kaga, Akagi, Hiryuu and Soryuu
glad plover
Like, they were training certain pilots diffrent for other CV's
silver bear
Sho and Zui would go on to throw down later
pure dew
It was Kaga, Akagi, Hiryuu and Soryuu
Damn akagi my favorite one
She's now in depth of sea
What is the worst Naval failure in history
pure dew

Tactical failure
silver bear

battle of Lissa was pretty bad
from my limited understanding
pure dew
What about Operation Juno
silver bear
Tsushima was rough for the Ruskies
pure dew
Tsushima was rough for the Ruskies
6 battleship Lost
glad plover
Tsushima was a curp stomp

silver bear
Barents sea was rough for the Krauts
considering it basically got Gniesenau written off
pure dew
What about Battle of Java Sea failure of Dutch Navy
silver bear
No idea abt that one
but
The dutch navy was tiny, no?
going up against the IJN at that point was gonna be bad
pure dew
The dutch navy was tiny, no?
They had help from Us and British

worthy dawn
the force defending the east indes was a reject brigade
made out of scraps and whatever was on hand
pure dew
Us Sent a One Heavy Cruiser 4 Destroyers
Brits sent a lot of Destroyers
Which some of them sunk
worthy dawn
the main British contribution was torpedoes off of Malaya, Boise ran aground and had to leave
pure dew
Huston and One British Cruiser ran away
worthy dawn
oh and indomitable ran aground also before that happened
pure dew
Later they Sunk by Japanese
worthy dawn
so the force was down 3 capital ships and a 10k ton cruiser

lanague is one thing, but if no one know how ships will act in battle due to size and speed diffrences, its gonna be such a shit fest
worthy dawn
Huston and One British Cruiser ran away
and don't forget exeter also managed to almost get away
worthy dawn
the gamble was the IJN cruisers guarding the escape route would run out of fuel
which almost happened
but almost doesn't mean much

who woulda thought running it down into a carrier force and an airfield is a bad idea
pure dew
who woulda thought running it down into a carrier force and an airfield is a bad...
Yes
hearty salmon
who woulda thought running it down into a carrier force and an airfield is a bad...
Clearly not japan
Iirc when they bombed midway they didn’t go for the repair stations and fuel depots
pure dew
But Japanese sunk some British ships
hearty salmon
So they managed to get the ships back online really quick
pure dew
Japan's biggest mistake is bombing Pearl harbor
worthy dawn
So basically it was a “RANDOM BULLSHIT GO”
yeah, they had to make do with a bunch of crazy stuff:
1 british (exeter) and 1 american (houston) heavy cruiser; exeter is undersize and Houston's second turret is inoperable because of damage
3 undersize light cruisers (2 Dutch and 1 "British" manned by Aussies)
9 destroyers from 4 different classes (2 smaller british, 2 smaller dutch, 4 antique american, and only 1 actually modern DD)
hearty salmon
Sorry pearl harbor not midway

Japan's biggest mistake is bombing Pearl harbor
Biggest understatement of the century
hearty salmon
Biggest understatement of the century

worthy dawn
Japan's biggest mistake is bombing Pearl harbor
yeah 100% true, you could even say their mistake was invading china
hearty salmon
Like it really is the biggest understatement of the century and the last
worthy dawn
japanese army invading china leads to US embargo which leads to either mutiny, or war with the USA
hearty salmon
yeah 100% true, you could even say their mistake was invading china
That one was to get natural resources
Bpmbing Pearl Harbor was for funsies
glad plover
the worst part? the KNEW that war with America was a shit show, but they were hedging thier bets on getting THE descive naval battle like in the russo japanese war and getting america to back down like they did with the russkies
worthy dawn
yeah, but it didn't work out for them, war started 1937 and even in 1945 they still ahd made no progress
meanwhile the USA bombs them
worthy dawn
the worst part? the KNEW that war with America was a shit show, but they were he...

So a cripple , a special needs , and 11 children
worthy dawn
So a cripple , a special needs , and 11 children
pure dew
Yeah
glad plover
yeah it was some insane cope and delusion in the japnese military
They were thinking, it was either attack america, wipe out thier navy so they can have free rein in the south east indies for the matertials that they needed to continue war with China,, or give up which was something that was never on the table for some reason
viscid nest
not really
worthy dawn
not really, and whatever it had was bombed by Japan
after 1937 the answer was no
china is in AL because it's more likely for glorious china government to approve a game with good china representation

Do mainland Chinese peeps have discord
worthy dawn
A battleship of the A140-J3 design developed in Japan in the mid-1930s, preceding the construction of the Yamato-class battleships. After World War II, the ship could have been transferred to the U.S.S.R. and modernized with a significant portion of its armament replaced with Soviet models, after which it would have been transferred to the PRC in the early 1950s.
