Board Thread:Fleet's Prepared-ness/@comment-26140831-20150723052954

Hello fellow admirals!

First off, this is the third event I will be attending. I am still way too unexperienced to join the frontlines, but I will do my best to clean up behind our seasoned colleagues!

During the last two events I managed to clear the entirity of maps, save for the last dance (Still sad about Akitsushima. I like her design :c) - Although I feel like the Spring Event was a little my own fault. Partly missing preparation, partly getting too confident in clearing E6 on hard.

My general strategy last time involved switching difficulties so that I don't suffer under shiplocking too much. This actually was quite successful, I was able to clear E1 through E3 on hard, E4 on easy and E5 on medium in order to attempt a shot at that golden medal.

However, AL/MI has an entirely different "historic" ring to it, in terms of Kantai Collection.. Getting a little nervous here and there I thought it cannot hurt to ask for a short analyzation of my fleet.

Here is a puush to my fleet as shown in KC3改's Strategy room. Also, I am currently training Abukuma. I plan on having her reach Kai Ni before the event, because I think she will have her special time there. (Intuition? Haha)

All ships that are even lower level probably will not matter too much during the event, I suppose.. (There are a few battleships at lv 20-30-ish that I usually send on support expeditions.)

Also since I don't have access to a complete equipment list in the same quality, I'll list a few notable armaments here. An equipment-count in parentheses refers to the stronger version of the same piece of equipment (e.g. 601 Air Group Versions of Airplanes):

Small Caliber: -12.7cm Twin Mount Type-B Kai x1

Medium Caliber: -15.2cm Twin Gun Mount x2

Large Caliber: -46cm Triple Gun Mount x1 -46cm Prototype Twin Gun Mount x1 -381mm/50 Triple Gun Mount (Kai) x1/(x1) -38cm Twin Gun Mount x1 -Prototype 41cm Triple Gun Mount x1

Torpedos (And Midget Subs): -Type A Ko-Hyoteki x4 -61cm Quint Oxygen Torpedo Mount x2 -Prototype FaT Type 95 O2 Torpedo Kai x1 -53cm Submarine Bow Torpedo Mount (8 Tubes) x2

Fighter Planes: -Reppuu x5 -Shiden Kai Ni x1

Dive Bombers: -Suisei (Suisei 601 Air Group) x9/(x1) -Ju 87C Kai x2

Torpedo Bombers: -Ryuusei (Ryuusei 601 Air Group) x4/(x1) -Tenzan (Tenzan 601 Air Group) x4/(x1)

Reconnaissance Airplanes and Seaplane Bombers: -Saiun x2 -Zuiun (Zuiun Model 12) x9/(x1)

Radars: -Type 32 Surface Radar x1 -Type 33 Surface Radar x1 -Type 13 Air Radar x1

Ammunition: -Type 3 Shell x3 -Type 91 AP Shell x3

Anti Submarine: -Type 3 Depth Charge x1 -Type 94 Depth Charge x5 -Type 93 Sonar x3

Misc: -Drum Barrel x1 -Searchlight x2 -Starshell x1 -Night Scout x1

Also I own an almost unrelenting stock of the usual common guns and planes.

I hope this overview was not too vast and I want to say thank you to anybody who has actually read through all this. Even more to those who actually gave thought to my situation!

My plan this season is probably the same as last season: Aim for the gold medal, try to get the best rewards that I can afford while navigating through shiplocking. Also, I can live with not clearing every map on hard. I will also be way more careful about how long to actually attempt and fail doing E6 hard.. (Storytime: Last Event I tried it on hard until the last day and had only one try left before the time ran out - The boss survived the last dance on easy with 1 HP.. :x I'm not going to let that happen again.)

Big big thank you in advance!
