Kancolle Kai 3: Land Based Plane Groups are here!

I like how Akatsuki's Kai Ni art is like "I see you! " also Murasame is cutes and then we have Shouhou trying out the Yamato umbrella.

======================

Finally all Sendai sisters are now at Kai Ni status:

Damn... that's bad luck worser than my Spring event run-ins... don't give up hope fellow admiral!

[Gpop]

So over the past few days, I've been grinding more Kai Nis and I just recently got both Wagahai and DJ Ashigara to Kai Ni. (It was also the first time I actually used a blueprint :V)

[RuneDevros]

An elephant and a zebra got upgrades today.

Question:

The wiki says A53   新編「第六駆逐隊」を編成せよ！(Composition quest for Akatsuki K2, Hibiki, Inazuma, Ikazuchi) needs B42「第六駆逐隊」対潜哨戒なのです！to be completed. But I've already done that one and A53 isn't showing up. Something I'm missing?

[MewMewHeart]

Yesterday I Kai Ni'd Chitose although the constant 3-2A grind made her close to it I used her for 4-3 grinding for Bucky looks like a few Kai Ni doesn't hurt every now and then even if it's not the one you were going for:

[Yukarin]

this took way longer than it should have, but FINALLY

EDIT: a question?

how do you powerlevel CA's in 3-2a? like, have them get mvp 80% of the time. I'm planning to level Haguro next.

[Totaku]

It involves tweaking equipment around..., from what I remember, your sub is still vital for the exercise. As for traning your CA, keep her equipment the same as it generally is. As for brining other ships, bring a BB but make sure she's not using any guns (give her radars or something) and your CV / CVL, change thier equipment so thier bombing planes make up the lowest slot keep the rest fighters. CLs and DD can remain the same as usual. But I think with this set up, your CAs will get the majority of the wins. Otherwise I usually take them on 2-3 and 4-2 runs. Since they're usually good at winning those areas (without using a BB there)

Meanwhile, the twitter reports that the next update is set for June 12th. An a relatvily early Heavy Cruiser who known for her prowless in night battle will be getting a Kai Ni.

Still it's hard to determine which ship class it is since BOTH of these ships are known for this but it could be the only member of the

Spoiler:

Furutaka Class

or

Spoiler:

Aoba class

that hasn't gotten a Kai Ni

[Calamity]

Here's a tip: pay attention when you're improving equipment. I decided I wanted some Kai BB guns annnnnnd whoops I just burned 4k ammo without even knowing :V

3-2-A comp for CAs (put them in this order):
Flagship CA you want to level: best gun, best gun, seaplane, best radar
CA: gun, gun, gun, radar
Kongou/Ise class: All radars
Leech
(light)Carrier: bombers on lowest slots, saiun and fighters
Maruyu/Sub

Rotate the second CA, Kongou/Ise, and sub and you can run 3-2-A with very little downtime so long as the flagship gets mvp. The carrier and leech do not need to rotate, it's ok if their morale runs into the ground. Put something annoying to level up like a DD or CL in the leech slot. I used this with double line formation for Choukai and Maya and they got MVP very consistently. Assuming your ships don't miss much the second phase of shelling will start, your two CA's will kill whatever is leftover, and the sortie ends there.

This seems helpful. I'm going to keep this is mind for future usage.

Speaking of Battleships say hello to the Remodeled Italian Fast Battleship of the Tea House Fleet, Italia:





Why use a BP on her, because I didn't have any other candidates for BP usage.

[Totaku]

As a heads up for what's coming over the summer...

1. A CA is getting a Kai Ni this June

We only have 4 heavy curisers left to really give a Kai Ni too.. they mentioned the cruiser is realatively early and known for her night battle prowless... This means it could only be either

Spoiler:

Aoba

or

Spoiler:

Kako

2. A CVL will be gettign a Kai 2 during the summer!

No hints, though given what CVS have Kai Ni it's still pretty open game since it could be any of the remaining CVLs...

3. Several CVs will be getting a Kai Ni in the summer.

This has been hinted in the NewType magazine, but it has been mentioned that 2 late CVs might get a Kai Ni later to represent what happened if they survived the Philippians sea and the Mariana.... This means there's only two CVs that match this catagory....

Spoiler:

Shoukaku

and

Spoiler:

Zuikaku

Get your blueprints ready...

Hiyou Kai Ni please so my Junyou Kai Ni and her can dominate maps together!!!

[Calamity]

Wait hold up I think Totaku is a little confused here, new CA and CV Kai Ni is right but the third ship is a Light Cruiser Kai Ni according to dev tweets, not CVL Kai Ni.

I really REALLY hope it's not Abukuma or Kinu because I scrapped both of them :derp:

[Abraham Lincoln]

About time the Shokakus got Kai Nis. They're seriously underpowered for ships that were historically supposed to be superior to their predecessors...

[MewMewHeart]

Finally, after some laziness and doing late night PvP for the last bit of exp I present the Plain Starter of the Tea House Fleet:

Bucky Fubuki Kai Ni

[Totaku]

I really REALLY hope it's not Abukuma or Kinu because I scrapped both of them :derp:

You're right I made a mistake I was a little tired. ^^;;; It's a Light Cruiser not a Light Aircraft Carrier.

Pretty much means anyone from the Tenryuu class / Nagara class and maybe remaining Kuma class are up for grabs.

[RuneDevros]

I hope the new CA is Kako because she's my first CA I ever got. She's decently high level at the moment but she's not as good as someone like a fully upgraded Haguro.

[MewMewHeart]

It's not Shigure Kai Ni but, I did Kai Ni one more Kongou ship just need two more now, presenting the Megane Kongou Sister of the Teahouse Fleet, Kirishima Kai Ni:



Fun fact: She was my first Kongou sister to drop when I first beated 2-3 although back then it was brutal.~

I'm trying to unlock my 2 docks for repairs. I bought two of the dock keys but I know why clicking the dock button doesn't do anything.

Try doing it through the website to see if that's the problem.

I'm trying to unlock my 2 docks for repairs. I bought two of the dock keys but I know why clicking the dock button doesn't do anything.

The keys come bundled with a bunch of gears, buckets, and flamethrowers. Unpack the bundle in the item screen first (by using the bundle like you would a medal, present box, or mochi). Once the bundle is unpacked, clicking on a locked repair dock will prompt you about using the key.

DO'H I FORGOT THAT WAS ALSO A THING... excuse my lack of not eating any food for my brain, Rune.

[RuneDevros]

That worked. Thanks!

_(: 3 」∠)_
I hate leveling up DDs. Pastas and Biscuit are reaching 70 though because I looooveeeee leveling up BBs in pvp.
Whyyyyyyyy does it require Whobuki Kai Ni to make 10cm+FD? Ayanami was already painful enough. I really don't feel like leveling up whobuki but the chance of the devs introducing Akizuki again in a future event is pretty low.

Lots of Hotel failures here, Fusou go away pls. The pattern so far seems to be I whine about something in this thread and then I get it soon after. Can't hurt to see if that works again. Gotta keep rollin'

Still haven't spent a cent on Kancolle yet but the temptation is real lol.

[Totaku]

So just to remind everyone the next update is set for the 12th of June.

And we will be getting the Heavy Cruiser Kai Ni'd for this update. Their most recent hit gave away who it is pretty much because the said Cruiser sunk at the Solomon seas in a night battle while returning to base.

I hope you've been training her because it looks like she'll be upgraded soon. (It's

Spoiler:

Kako

BTW)

I don't expect her to be need to be beyond level 75. But I will still training her to level 80 as a precaution.

Other than that, I'm now forced to commit to training Yamato for this week because of a voting session I do each week on my stream and other locations. (perhaps I should introduce it here?)

So I'm forced to train Yamato for a full week, also Katsuragi was one vote short from a tie.. oh god my resources, why do I subject myself to such toruture?

I guess I'll slowly train Kako due to I have Shigure, Isuzu, Ooi, Kitakami, Maya, Kiso, Ryuujou, POSSBILY the other two Kongous I have left... Hiei and Haruna, and Souryuu and Hiryuu are slowly catching up.

Also Totaku you should post your stream link here of your training.
==============================
Last night I completed the other DD of my choosing's Kai Ni I now welcome the Faithful Dog of the Teahouse Fleet Shigure Kai Ni:

[RuneDevros]

I did LSC last night and got my first Taihou. She'll be an excellent addition to the carrier team.
