I use KCV so it keeps logs of all my attempts (if anyone really wants to see them to determine whether there's any statistical reasoning behind any of this or if it's just all in my head, I don't mind, just let me know), but I haven't done any real noticeable/major calculations myself regarding my results in crafting this.

But from what I do seem to notice is that I seemingly have the best luck with any of the Kongou sisters as flagship, whereas with any of Nagato, Mutsu, Italia, Bismarck drei, etc. they have all given very poor returns for this, if any at all (again, this is just from my experiences; I think Nagato may have been the only one to ever result in crafting one from what I can remember off the top of my head; maybe Bismarck once as well); thus I stick with the Touyama Nao girls.

(Not sure if I have tried any, or much with Ise/Hyuuga/Fusou/Yamashiro yet off the top of my head though; and I don't have any of: Yamato, Musashi, Iowa, Warspite, Roma, or Gangut; and both Fusou sisters are lvl.90 but not final remodel yet).

I also (granted it's a small sample size and again, speculation) tend to get better results with whichever girl is in charge of upgrading this item for that day via Akashi's improvements; so usually Kirishima and then Hiei as well, but Kirishima seems to be slightly better overall for me so far, even though she's the lowest level of the four sisters at lvl.90, but on some days she downright refuses to build them, which is usually when Hiei does well (but again, with a ~4% chance item, it's hard to judge entirely if it is just coincidence or not).

Also, I took note of the page mentioning getting the best results when Fuel/Steel are the main resources, so I (almost) always use the recipe (I don't know if I personally made it up or not) of 40/30/91/10. I've tweaked various numbers occasionally, mostly such as the Steel amount from 90, 91, 110, 111, etc., but not often enough to make any judgement calls about those just yet, but 40/30/91/10 seems to work decently well for me.

It doesn't have crazy high % results though, but some days I get two of them in 10 or so crafting attempts, while other times I can go two or three days without seeing one, so in the end it may all still be roughly around ~4% anyway.

Anywho, /rambling. Just thought I'd share what I have been trying for quite a while now to see if anyone else might be interested in trying it as well or whatnot, or wants to do any sort of analysis or whatnot, etc etc.

(Kudos if you read it all; surprised how lengthy it ended up being. o_o )
