I use EO, BossaGroove's KV version and KC3 Kai dev version, and I can't imagine loving KanColle as much as I do without these tools.

I could read most of the game's words from the beginning but I found a pain to check and double-check things like ammo and fuel replenishment, equipment, plane count and quest tracking, not to mention that I had to make up the morale value out of thin air. I ran across a few Japanese streamers who don't use tools and a substantial part of the stream was dedicated to check on the quests (sometimes after every sortie), on the armament equipped, or to check every single ship among dozens of Sub dupes to see which one was sparkled. It's undeniable that tools save a lot of time.

I study and write papers most of the day so I usually let KC play in the background, call it my fault, but I lost count of how many times I countinued on sorties even though I was on the wrong route or I was leveling and didn't have to go to the next node, and a memorable once, long ago, with a ship in Taiha.

These are my major reasons why I am absolutely PRO playing KanColle with tools. The game would be a series of checking and re-checking facts without them and it would become more a pain in the a** than fun and engaging.

Honestly, I can't think why people still insist that tools such as KC3Kai get you banned. If you're not an expert in computer science, just defer to those who know what they are talking about. If you are very suspicious, wait for somebody to use that tool for a long-ish time, confirm that they are not banned, and then you are good to go.

Besides, tools like EO and KC3Kai are basically mini-wikias. They have ships and enemy vessel stat pages, equipment count and list by name and image (together with which ships come with that equipment for EO), which means I don't have to keep multiple tabs open in my pc, ergo spending CPU on other programs.

I don't care much about my game history because I take a lot of screenshots now, I don't need the graphs, but I can't think of a single reason why having your ship and equipment roster and quest history in neat order right there would be bad.

Just thanks to all the developers of these tools, you guys made my KC life way easier. All the kudos.
