Totally forgot about Yuubari.

Well, I have dupes of Suzuya, Kumano, Oi, Kitakami, Abukuma, so it's not like I'm against dupes. But just not sure I have the desire to spend my evenings farming during my vacation.

Got E1 to E5 done; E1 to E4 at Hard and E5 at Medium. Now I have to go back to E4 to get Gotland.

AC-Phoenix · 2018-09-16, 18:31

Does anyone have a good fleet to Pass E4N NBode T?

Of the 27 farming runs I did I made it to the boss just 10 times.

Currently using:
Nelson, Reward gun, Skilled B11, Nelson gun, Akizuki, Verniy(Anti installation), Tama(anti Installation) Italia, Intrepid (Murata, F4DU, Iwamoto *10, F6f-5 *5).
Something always turns red and I'm down to 80k Ressources with me only getting Littorio's and Kazagumos

.

I even started sending an LBA to Node T, but still get at least 1 red ship. (I use double line btw, spoon doesn't make me pass more)

Sheba · 2018-09-17, 04:08

Dropped while playing ABBA yay, now I can regain resources a bit while going back to do E5N.

AC-Phoenix · 2018-09-17, 15:05

Down to 49k Fuel ... I'm starting to panic now.
The last two ship girls I didn't get during their events are the same ones I still don't have today : Kamoi and Katori (yes, I know its been years since then...)

They also need to fix their memory leak before starting another event. I'm getting those with 16Gb Ram, while DMM runs several unnecessary sub frames in the background... Most are advertisements, only 2 of them are actually relevant to the game.
You can even test that out by just closing them in the chrome task manager. If you close a process and you don't get the dead pixel face you know the subframe wasn't necessary. In the end only 2 will remain. (without KC3, then ther eis an additional 2)

On hard you apparently also need a Zero to trigger the bonus. In other words you need all 3 of them.

blitz1/2 · 2018-09-18, 17:58

Akagi and Hiryuu bombed the boss! Thank God I am free from E3 last dance, was doing it last night and all day today.

Cleared the event this Wednesday

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

甲甲甲甲乙

I went for 乙 because:

I used up my Soviet ships that could have been used in part 2 to meet up the euro quota.
I made the mistake of locking Richie, Bismarck and Prinz in Force H. My fault for not reading the shiplock guides more carefully.
Same for Teste, used in E4.
I have little to no trust in Z1 and Z3 to do something about BBrest-Hime.

As you can see, have I gotten a little more foresight, my fleet in part 2 would have Graf, Teste, Bimarck, Richie, Purin, Bep and Tashkent. I have heard that part 2 needed strictly 6 euro at preboss or its random. Going off route at this point of the event would have been a waste of resource and time. Made even worse by the retarded armor of BBrest-hime if I got lucky to get to the boss.

E4H made me bleed fuel.
Farming Gotland in E4H was, in hindsight, a stupid idea. I went from 200-199k fuel to 160k fuel. Buckets count went from 950 to 850ish. As reported earlier, I finally got her while farming part 1 of E5.
My vacations will be over by Monday, I do not see myself stuck for about 2 more weeks trying to clear this event. Gotland and Nelson were top priorities for me

.

Notable drop outside of Gotland were 2 Bismarck dupes. Trying to get 38cm kai gonna be fun.

**Klashikari** · 2018-09-21, 10:37

To be more accurate, you need 6 EUR ships to avoid node S (Second SS princess) after node T. The pre-boss node can be reached with "just" 4 EUR ships.

As for my progression, I'm pretty much on all 甲, almost starting the last phase.

I'm currently preparing the "victory lap", but E2 was nearly as stupid as the first phase of E7 of Leyte 2 event. It took me only 5 attempts, but I'm pretty certain this death trap formation could easily go around 20-40 LD attempts because of that crazy mix of high armor boss + installations and imps. In fact, the allied fleet did a whooping 20 dmg on the boss, because an imp from the escort soaked 4 attacks.
Funny trivia: when you are done with the shortcut gimmick, the sortie will automatically end just like when you have unlocked a route, but you takes absolutely no moral penalty.

By the way, this phase pretty much confirmed my fear I had back for a while when you could use subs as meatshield against installation boss the first time around. In a nutshell: the fact the sub is very unlikely to be hit when the enemy fleet is in line ahead doesn't mean your sub cannot be sunk. Contrary to what people believed before, the "miss" is mostly about accuracy loss due to the formation, not "0 damage".
In fact, even if they don't have any sonar or something that could damage moderately the submarine, if the targeted sub is in taiha, they CAN sink it.

This sounds pretty obvious on paper, but I've seen a lot of people claiming you shouldn't worry about P2 boss since they can't sink your sub so their damecon never activated, but this is FLAT OUT WRONG.

evidence

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

As you can see, Ro was sunk, and she was attacked by Handerson clone, who is hardly equipped properly against sub. The damage dealt was 7 IIRC. This also happened before during a red T, doing a measily 3, but enough to trigger the sinking mechanic.

So yeah, I'd recommend using 2 damecon on the tank sub, because it is very unlikely you have enough with only 1. I learned it first hand when I lost 1 goddess on node L and Ro still got taiha-ed again by a DD in the same fight in node L. I decided that it was not worth the gamble since I equipped her with just that goddess, so I retreated. When I found out the boss and the other installations could sink her regardless of their equipment or the combat engagement, I was relieved I took the good decision.
Overall, I lost 1 goddess and 3 damecon for this phase. Ro is chilling in the dock with unlimited ice cream for all the shit she had to go through.

Sheba · 2018-09-21, 10:44

Yeah, I only had Z1, Z3 and Graf left. Well, also FoB Gotland but leveling her to meet her the event standards, I am not too sure I could have pulled that.

**Klashikari** · 2018-09-21, 11:02

You could potentially use the british since the EUR ship requirements in P1 are just for a air raid node, but then again, the decision was sound anyway. Just made some clarification if some people are wondering if they can do it in 甲 or not based on the number of EUR ships left at their disposal.

That said, P2 has pretty much the same issue as Iowa's event last map or Leyte 2: you really need good dice rolls with the LBAS and boss support. The real danger is the imps because they can literally deny your whole fleet efforts, including the allied fleets. This was also the very reason E4 made me bleed 20k fuel because that single imp just tanked virtually everything for the damn boss.

So I guess E5's the Gotland place, at least for forum members.

**Klashikari** · 2018-09-22, 17:18

Full 甲 done. I'm really tired.
I really didn't expect to clear with that run because I had a bloody red T and Musashi was nuked to oblivion after her first shelling attack. But even then, there were only 3 escorts in chuuha/taiha and Gotland fleet did their job for once, so Abyssal Nelson was pretty much alone and got nuked by Jervis (torp TCI for 398) then Yuudachi DA her for a whooping 202 (and 180 extra).

E5 wasn't as harsh as Summer 2017 E7 or winter 2018 E7 but there were still stuff that drove me insane multiple times, to the point I used all of my remaining expansion slots and just went through with goddess for the most fragile ships.
The worse point is that I was kind of lucky with the worst parts (P2 and surface fleet A rank for the suijou fleet), but my progression was hindered the hard way for the A rank Kidou and the last dance itself. LBAS were suddenly doing jackshit, while most of my BB CI and CV CI were doing 2 digit damage, which lead to a full princess fleet pretty much alive for night battle. So spent additional 2 goddesses for the last phase.

Anyway, resource expenses breakdown

Spoiler:

Man, I want Tanaka to stop this multiple phase BS, especially multiple HP bar. Even if P1 was a joke, E5 felt like 2-3 different maps together because of the other bloody phases.
Thank goodness I got Gotland during my chipping runs (with a Bismarck dupe too). No Kishinami but I think I won't go hardcore for her. This event drained me way too much even though it was definitely not as difficult as the trauma inducing events.

blitz1/2 · 2018-09-22, 21:01

I really hope I can get Gotland in medium A ranks in E5.

; Well 1 more week to go, I hope I can make it.

blitz1/2 · 2018-09-23, 16:31

Any suggested comps for STF for E5 medium, having a hard time reaching boss so I can do that debuff thing.

EDIT: never mind, Prinz just killed it. THANK GOD!!!!

AC-Phoenix · 2018-09-23, 20:42

I really wonder what they were thinking with this event.
Put the first ship a country gets as a drop and give us (yet another) DD as a reward -.-; Not only that, but it's not even a particularly good one.
