Has anyone else been getting catbombed since the maintenance? It feels like it happens almost every hour and I'd never had this problem before.
Me? No. Getting constant warning that there was an error and and being given the option to restart the refresh or not? Yes. I just usually hit ignore and go on.
Lemme guess, are you using a 3rd party program? That can usually be the first thing I look at as the core reason to why your game might go instantly to the error screen. If that's the case, it's probably link to a stability issue going on with the server. My recommendation, play straight from the DMM site without using a 3rd party program. That usually does the trick I think. I've done that since day 1 and the only time I get the "cat error screen" is when doing modifications for certain kanmusus such as Taihou and Taigei (they seem to trigger this error the most)
So lemme tell you about 6-4.....
Testing the Central Waters Offshore from Peacock Island
If there is one thing I've learned from this map session it's this. This is a map where you are either forced to go challenge a map and go against unfavorable odds to make the shortest path possible, or you take something strong and potentially weaken yourself towards to the boss node itself.
I've tested both the western and eastern route and see how this map is potentially dangerous of many accounts. More or less, you are being asked to take everything your normally learned from the game, and toss this logic out the window. As the enemy fleets will deal with on your way will present great danger but yet your fleet needs to be prioritized to fight the boss fleet.
To summarize it, East entering route is about trying to dodge a nasty onslaught of Super Wos and BBs while the West entering path is more favorable but forces you to deal with one disadvantageous fight with (unless you have the proper kanmusu and gear set up for it.) This either invovles running into a brick wall until you break through, or you having to have a certain fleet arrangement to make it to the boss node.
And note, the boss node itself is all about...Installation and pillbox bunkers.... practically almost every enemy there is one of these. And the best possible way to have an advantage is to probably take a fleet that be able to fire in the day battle and night battle. I've know people have been using usual interesting combinations which include a BBV, CAV, CL, and 3 DD, or BB, CA, 1CL ,2DD, Akitsushima, and so forth.
Basiclly what it runs down to is, you shouldn't worry too heavily about having most of your fleets geared for day-time double attacks or the like. What you need to worry about is coming up with the strongest way to take out all the installations you can in battle.
And this apparently can be done by, have a decent supply of
Daihatsu and
WG42, and also
Type 3 shells and
AP shells. Also making sure you have at least 1 ship capable of launching a
large group of seaplane bombers or that can launch a
seaplane fighter.
This apparently will yield the best possible results. As taking out the Battery Imps is one of the bigger priorities. They pack a punch, but kanmusus that use Daihatsus or WG42 will often deliver the best damage to them.
If you have Ooyodo or Yuubari, use 2 WG42s as the damage stacks and is generally lethal enough that is can instant kill one installation at night battle. DD can use either a daihatsu or WG42. BBs should probably use a Type 3 and AP shell mix, while your CAs should be armed with type 3s and maybe a seaplane bomber if you're using a CAV. Needless to say this is a very tough map and is definitely only recommend to players who are stocked on various rare equipment. For if you only have 4 Daihatsu, you're going to be stuck using Abukuma, Verniey, Kasumi, and Satsuki for battle for the best possible damage. WG42s will however open the grounds a bit. So if need be, try hunting down U-511 in events. She's obviously going to save you a lot of pain and struggle for this map if you bag enough Wg42s from her.
Also if you're using Akitsushima , have her set up as a night battle decoy, search lights, starshells and a seaplane fighter will yeild the strongest results for that fight.
But yeah this map is on part of actually playing one of the later event maps from say... one of the summer events... probably the AL / MI map. Yeah, it's that hard. You just need to play your cards right in that fight and hope everyone's aim is straight and true.
Now let's discuss other important Kancolle News!
Akashi's Improvement Arsenal Stealth UpdateIt has been noted that Akashi's workshop will be getting a new update and this one will be rather... different. She's going to get some equipment she will improve this weekend, but she also going to get some kind of ... "expansion" to her improvement arsenal... what exactly will this mean? Goodness knows. But it sound like we will be expect something new to include in her workshop soon.
This update will be coming out at the same time the rank rewards from
Feburary's Monthly Operations are finally announced and will take place
live.
An Asashio-Class DD Kai NiCurrently the Dev team has announced that another kanmusu will be getting a kai ni and this one will be a memeber of the Asashio class.
what has been noted so far is that:
This Kanmusu fought bravely and yet all of them sunk. (pretty much the entire Asashio-class is tied to this fate so thier is no proof go by here.)
This Kanmusu is a member of the 8th Destroyer Division.
This tallies it down to 4 options: Asashio, Michisio, Arashio, and Arare.
So taking that into account, this means one of these four are the strongest candidate for Kai Ni. Due to that, I'm leaning between Asashio or Michishio since both of them have a rather well known record in war and both fought hard to the end.
Kanmusu Spring Fleet Festival
http://kancolle-kanmatsuri.jp/On the day of the Spring Equinox in Japan, Kancolle will be holding a meeting which will be open to the public in Akibahara, Japan. This meeting will be a kanmusu event which all can join in an engage in some fun activites and get a chance to meet some of the Seiyuus there. However it should be noted too that if you have the money you can also purchase some goods here and also if you buy a Type-B canteer, you may earn a ticket to get a special "
Private Closed screening of the Kancolle Moive". So yeah, there's going to be a lot of things going on. And considering the movie will be closed off and private. I imagine the only thing we're going to have to go by for the moive is word of mouth. I can't imagine the staff is going to let a mess up like what happened in the with thier anime private screening happen again.
I think that should cover everything.
