Old events as in from back in 2013 and 2014 which maps were extremely short and simple.
Yeah. At least they should do that.

You only have to fullfill one of the 3 conditions according to Reddit. You can also opt to S-rank all bosses in world 2:
Use the fleet including 1 CL class and 2 DD/kaiboukan to complete one of following conditions: 1. S rank in 2-1 to 2-5 boss node once. 2. S rank in 5-3 and 5-5 boss node once. 3. S rank in 6-5 boss node once.
Ah thanks for stating. I guess I can clear World 2 anyways
Another 5-5 quest... And 6-5...
This will be a pain in my head.

Base-> Kai -> Kai Ni Kai A/B/D is actually written as A/B/D kai in Japanese, they are a further remodel from Kai, perhaps you can treat them as "Kai 1.5" Kai Ni A/B/D is usually a convertible version of Kai Ni, they are parallel with Kai Ni.
Something like Mark 2 or so?
Ekel wrote: My theory is that KaiD is new name for K2 without BPs or ARs.
My speculation is this from "historical" remodels. As some later ships getting a kai ni might be "non historical" remodels
Just reminder that we don't had foreign Light Cruisers yet so it is best to use them to the fullest.
I would be surprise if the devs decided to give Yahagi a Kai Ni.

And yeah, the reason we have the +FireDirector workaround is because Tanaka regretted putting 10cmLongs on literally every DD Kai
Allied ships being added is a fine stunt to assuage the "Abyssals are USN" theory, and give into various fan-factions, but I hope we get more ships from "That country"... and Pastaland.
The idea is already old but it become popular around the 2000's or 2010's if I can recall. Also personificating ships isn't new nor KanColle started it either.
It just happened that KanColle made it popular.

Back on topic: What new gimmicks would the Fletchers bring to the table?
Or what category or DD(as we have them) would they join? I can't imagine anyone being particularly happy if the most numberous and famous DD class in history is just more trophy DD...
Can be compared nearly to Kagerou or Yuugumo-class in terms of stats... But since a few had historical remodels and fought the toughest battles in Pacific... I also expect a remodel from them

Yes, equivalent to Allied DEs and frigates, as USN seen them in action, just like I mentioned before.
As for how they were doing outside USN observation, it's another story.
That's the point. Hence I just call them Kaiboukans as what IJN do so.

CVB was the most historically correct choice we had. The KC wiki only began to be anti-historical at the choice of DE.
And if you want to even talk as equals to me, go get an account first. So that when you have some wrongdoing as you are doing now, we have a way to track you down.
No they were just called CVs. Taihou was not big enough to be called a CVB. You really are a shitter Vcharng
You definitely live in alternative reality then.
The only US carrier to be considered equivalent to "armored" carrier is the Midway class, which was briefly classified as CVB, that's where the designation came from. We were fully aware that CVB does not refer to the "armored" status, but "large" carrier, but that was the closest thing we can get.
And if "Taiho was not big enough" can be used as an excuse, than Akagi, Kaga and Shinano would be unable to be considered as fleet ("standard") carriers, as American fleet carriers require a faster speed.
I'll leave it to the mods for your language offense.
Back to the DE thing, even if we consider CVB as somewhat anti-historical it's still nowhere near the extent of DE being applied to Kaiboukans. I warned the folks here about the possibility of the "real" DEs, and they were like "we'll think when they actually comes".
Well, and now the US DEs really are coming... and it is observable that they will be a kind of DD, either as an independent DE or as a kind of DD, since the devs mentioned nothing about comparing them with the KBs.
So either way, we will face a conflict of terms, no matter if DE actually have their own API or not. We will need to give (or, "return") the designation of DE to Sammy B and her probable sisters, and find something else for those Japanese Kaiboukans.
To heckle, I do think that was the USN think during ww2 when they encounter the Kaiboukans then on cold war changed it to Escort afterwards.
"These ships were the Japanese equivalent to Allied destroyer escorts and frigates."
Someone just got "Monika'd" *sips tea*
Anyways so in the recent interview with Tanaka... It is perfectly stated that it will be USN ships (surprises later) a Destroyer Escort and a Fletcher.
I still don't understand why some of those guys try to compare a Kaiboukan to an USN DE and then to the Royal Navy when the USN and RN's hullcode tend to be "complicated" in some form.
Well whatever. I will put my "faith" in their task. As I know that whatever they doing isn't going to be easy.
If they gonna do more rankings, can't the devs expand from 500 to 1000 instead?

Honestly only logical explanation of such player(s) are that they are doing some well hidden botting or are just utter NEETs...
They might also be shared accounts. When Asia goes to sleep, Europe starts grinding. When Europe sleeps, America grinds...
shared accounts? blah never heard such thing.
Either it is a bot or basically a NEET.
