Talk:Winter 2015 Event/@comment-187.152.216.91-20150223090220

I created my DMM account around august last year, I was then a HQ level 20 with the wrong idea of leveling every different ship I get. I ended with a lot level 9 DD and CL, but connecting through VPN was a pain because everything is so slow and abandoned the game. I retook the game on January 3rd once I learned about the cookie trick, so I managed to get specific ships around level 26, HQ level 43 and 3-2 map unlocked right in time before the event.

I dared to beat E-1 on medium, but it took 5 days of grinding 3-2-A until my ships reached 10 more levels, a lot of ASW crafting, 3 Isuzu's farmed and many retries at the event. I got my first Akashi, Kitakami, Haruna, Suzuya and Taigei. More 3-2-A grinding finally gave me Hiei, finally I could unlock the 4th fleet in time for recovering as many resources I lost through expeditions.

Just when I though it couldn't be better but this time going onward on Easy, E-2 gave Ooyodo, Hamakaze, Akitsumaru, Suzuya, Yuubari and Agano. If E-1 obligued me to learn about ASW, E-2 did the same about CI and double attacks. So far and even following recipes, I don't have a single shell.

Then it came at least E-3. After a whole week of leveling ships around level 45, trying repeatedly and some luck managed to finally reach U-511. This is it! All I was trying for. My third submarine after a failed LSC (Maruyu) and I-58 at 1-5. But I was at a day and half before the event ends. I envy all those Teitoku who got any other submarine so far. 3 submarines is enough to cruise Orel without fail (risk at heavy damage) 75% of the times.

I was very optimistic about E-4 because I managed to reach the boss without problems and even sank her twice. But after that my Sazanami and Ikazuchi started to take heavy damage before night since then and couldn't make it. Those were my only two destroyers with all stats maxed because they don't have Kai Ni. Then I ran out of Iron, 300 fuel and only 1 of 97 buckets were left. I spammed expedition 2 so much ammo was at maximum. Oh well, Katori will be for another time.

Now I'm a HQ level 62 teitoku. I commited many mistakes through my first 20 levels and I'm afraid of the next event because by then I'll be avobe level 80. However I got so many rare drops, I think everything will be allright once I get many of these ships a Kai Ni. Oh, and maybe get any Nagato class ships, because I have the feeling Kongou, Fusou and Ise class won't be enough. Leveling auxiliary ships are a priority too.
