Ran into this guy doing PvP dailies.
In the far future I aspire to be the same except with Taihou.
The same with Isuzu if possible. But I have a tendency to focus on all the kanmusus. :v
Anyways I'm going to discuss about some stuff I wanted to talk about for the last few weeks, but haven't had a chance because I've been occupied with alot of stuff as of late. So let's take a moment to discuss some things:
Take those old fighter planes and to turn them into something better and new.Did you know that a tweet posted a few weeks back the devs noted that it was possible to convert planes that you modified via Akashi's workshop and have the modified effect carry over when you convert it?
If you didn't know this, you should now!
Basiclly, if you're making planes to do some of the plane conversion quests, it's strongly recommended that you consider taking a old plane that is needed for the quest (let's say we use the monthly Conversion Quest that invovles the Type 21 fighter) and do the following:
- Take a Type 21 Fighter and work on modifying it all the way to Max stars via Akashi's Workshop (Note this will require a total of 17 Type 21 fighters and 2500 bauxite assuming you do not have any failed attempt)
- Boost Plane Expertise To Type 21 to it's max and then convert!
- You now have a max star Type 21 skilled Fighter!
- Boost expertise of Type 21 Skilled Fighter to max for second conversion quest line and completion conversion requirements!
- You now have a max star Type 52 skilled Fighter!
By doing this you can actually save on the cost it would take to modify a fully converted plane in the long run since most of the planes that are offered for modification will cost more screws and bauxite compared to the weaker planes.
So basiclly, if you have access to do quests such as the converting your fighter into an Iwamoto Fighter Quest Chain,
Then consider max modifying the plane first in it's earliest stages so it can be fully transferred the final conversion!Since all fighters get a +2 AA bonus upon max modification, let's say by doing the quest I demonstrated here to turn a Type 21 fighter into a Type 52 Skilled,
I've managed to turn out a plane that is now currently better than a Reppu! (+10 AA Reppu vs. +11 AA with maxed Type 52 skilled) All while saving on resources!
This here is probably a good thing to practice if you're a veteran admiral who want to work on powering up his planes before events.
Just keep in mind.... make sure you have enough planes for both your carriers and possibly your land based air squadrons by the time the event rolls in.
Also for the admirals who already converted these planes long before this happened? Welp, better have lots of Bauxite, screws and Type 52s around cause you're going to need them to modify your fully converted planes
The Kancolle Summer Maid Cafe + Irako's Sake ShopIn Japan right now, there has been announced two Kancolle themed cafes that'll be open over the course of one month.
One will take place over at Akihabara which will be the Kancolle Summer Cafe
Here you can purchase food, enjoy a nice Summer theme experience and get a chance to rent out some Summer swim gear and buy some special Kancolle merchandise such as Littorio , Yuudachi, Sharatsuyu Beach Towels and so forth!
http://www.inside-games.jp/article/2016/07/14/100341.htmlSecond there's is also going to be an Irako Sake Shop which will be open in Yokusuka later this month which will offer fine dining meals ranging from sweet and drinks during the daytime, and Sake, Beer, and other finer meals at night! There will also be special Kancolle Merchandise being given out there as well.

Kancolle Annual Naval Review Vol 3. Mentioned several times before, the annual Kancolle Meet up that takes place at Yokohama Naval Base (known as the Kancolle Naval Review Meeting) will be happening on
August 7th. This is where Kadokawa is likely to go all out with what they have to offers in terms of Kancolle merchandise and also give people who have been allowed to attend this meeting to get a
first word look on the upcoming Summer Event and things coming up in the future in Kancolle in general.
Kancolle ArcadeKancolle Arcade has grown rapidly in popularity and thus is getting a far better treatment than Kancolle Kai did (Kai kinda died quickly since it was poorly executed and was more of an
Iowa Hype Engine).
Admirals have been going to spend thier money quite frequently on the Arcade in Japan and it still had long lines that can range from 30 minutes to hours in most locations. And thanks to it's surging popularty the Arcade has gotten several update following it's release.
So far we: Got Nagato, Mutsu, some additional members of the Fubuki-Class added, Nachi, Haguro, Ashigara, Yukikaze, Mutsuki, Kisaragi, Ayanami, Shikinami added into all Arcade Cabinate along with the inital roster!
We had the ability to buy furniture, in the Arcade and also had a revision of the development room
And probably most recently, the introduction to Anti-Submarine Warfare into the Arcade machine which mean yes, now Sub Abyssals are now in the Arcade game and from what I've seen it's an elaborate game of "Hide and seek"
Kagerou, Kuroshio, and Shiranui are coming out in later this month and with the arcade showing no change of slowing down we can only assume the Arcade Version going to just continue to gain momentum with time if they can pace out the content carefully like they have with the browser game.
Wonfest Summer 2016As of yesterday
Wonfest had taken place! And lots of figures have been announced!
I won't go too deep into detail here but you can run through the listing here to see what's present. There are however plenty of Kancolle Nendroids (Also Touhou's Yuuka is getting a Nendroid too) and Max Factory Figma that are planned out for the future though.
http://whl4u.jp/wh24/gallery/en/#/But if you want to enter the realm of the unusual how about a
1:1 Full Scale Kashima FigureYes, a fully human size Kashima figure.... while it was only up for display the rumor is the price this figure will go for once completed will be....
20,000,000 yen. So yes, I hope you have your checkbooks ready cause this one is going to be a figure to remember.
Kancolle Summer Event Related NewsWell so far we gotten some additional news feed regarding the event for those that are curious so lemme explain to you what we should be expecting for the event so far:
1. Event is expected to be Medium-Scale Sized so you're looking at around 4-5 maps big2. It's Recommended that you prepare your ships and your air forces. (Basiclly prepare your ship girls and get some good decent planes ready)
Additional Note: I recommend having planes ready for both your carriers and your Land Based Air Squadrons since that's almost a given3. Admirals planning to play on higher difficulties are suggested to have a large, diverse fleet. (Suggests Multi-staged single maps, alternet debuffing paths, and possible ship locking)4. Currently more than one new ship girl is confirmed to appear in this event (One which was hinted back in May being a missing member of the Mutsuki-Class)5. One of the new ship girls will be a Large Foreign Ship Girl!This is all the information that is known for now. And with that known we now can say that we are expecting a large ship girl that is bound to appear, which could be anywhere between a CA, a CV or a BB at this rate.... American, German, or Italian.... pick your poison as they're all fair game at this point.
