...so what now?

<figcaption> Gear list because this is where my questions lie... </figcaption></figure>I have been at this game for a little over 2 years now. I have managed, somehow, to get myself 'caught up' in that the only ships that are lacking their upgrades are Kongou, Umikaze, Suzuya and Kumano. - Kongou is a really low priority for me right now (mostly because I don't have 300 Devmats)
- I have no real desire to change Suzuya and/or Kumano to CVLs, nor do I particularly feel like raising dupes so I can a set of each.
- Umikaze will get where she needs to be soon... This being said, this is not really about which girl(s) to focus on and level up. I have enough of every kind of ship-class at high enough levels to do the jobs that need to be done. The quesiton, instead, is a matter of gear and equipment and where my focus should lie. I know there are some thigns that I can still work on (see some of my thoughts), but the question is is there any sort of priority here above and beyond "whatever feels right"? Is there something that I can work on in preparation for the next event? This being said, this is where I feel that I stand with all of my gear: BB Guns
- 6x +10 Proto 35.6cm Triple - I don't see much of a need to have more of these guns or those of a similar 'class'.
- 41cm Twin - I don't see a need to put more work/effort into these. Other guns of a similar type are objectivly superior. There is the possibility of upgrading some of these to Proto 41cm Triple for upgrading purposes, but that is expensive and so long-term that I don't think it's worth mentioning.
- 46cm Triple - Should I bother with these? If so, how many? I know that they are useful for Support Expeditions, but beyond that the only girls that can carry these without penalty are Yamato and Musashi.
- Specialty Guns (Richelieu, Pasta, 16inch of all kinds) - These all have merit, but are largely limited to their specific girls, so these are seen as lower for focus Cruiser Guns
The 20.3cm (No.3) is, objectivly, the best gun for cruisers right now. I have 10 of these, and they will be upgraded as necessary. Other guns are kept on-hand either due to rarity or as modfood. Destroyer Guns
I'm a bit at a loss here. While I can upgrade my 12.7cm Model D K2s to +6, I don't see these as a priority. I could, in theory, upgrade the 12.7cm Model C K2s beyond +6, but those will use unbuildable 12.7cm Model B K2s...
While I know that I can work on my ducky-guns, the fact of the matter is that I have gone so long without them, I don't really know what to do *with* them. While I understand that these are the best guns you can usually put on a Destroyer, a fair number of girls get bonuses for equipping certain guns that, when dealing with raw firepower, are better... Secondary (Yellow) Guns
Only guns I see worth upgrading are the OTOs. There just isn't enough of a call for these kinds of guns as a general thing. Torpedoes
I don't subscribe to TCI as a general thing, but I am aware that it will be something will, likely, be relied on in the future. This said, I'm not sure which torpedoes to focus on and how many I really need... Aircraft
I think I have this pretty much squared away. After Summer 2017, I have not run into a problem of not having enough Seaplane Fighters. My only limitation is lack of Screws, Devmats and Modfood. Radar
Eh? I don't know. Seriously. I have no idea if I should invest in upgrades here ASW
There are pieces of gear that I can upgrade (Sonar, T3 Projectors), but should these be a priority? Misc Gear
 Anti-Installation, AA guns, turbines and anything else not mentioned that can be upgraded... should there be a focus here? <figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px">

I need some tips

I quitted Kancolle some time ago (like 6 months? not sure), anyway i started again for the last event (i fell in love with Giuseppe Garibaldi cuz im Italian, lmao) and now im addicted again (oh no), and i need some advices: -First for the equipments, what should i craft? I need some WG42 (last event was a pain) but im not sure where or if i can get them -Second: obviously what ships should i prioritize (levelling), specially which are blueprint worth extra advices: how many resources do i need for a large event? I usually do normal/easy depending on what the rewards offer (like blueprints or catapults or rare interesting equipments). Last event left me dead in a corner like a damned raccoon, i used everything and now im still gathering resources , what expeditions should i run for farming steel? I know that there will be an update adding new expedition so i hope for something useful 

 thanks bois<figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px">

[Easy/Med] Event Preparations

<figcaption> </figcaption></figure>I know I need way more buckets and bauxite needs to be increased a little but how am I for the next event? I also have 2 BPs for ships that needed them and I have several that do but I was holding off to see what would be better for event (note: I do nit have flight deck for Shoukaku as I dont have her sister ship to get down the quest line rip me). I also have 3 Reinforcement Expansion I have not used on any ship. My first pick was Abukuma but after her don't know who to give the remaining two. If there is some equipment I NEED to be working on to improve please let me know. I currently working on the my last 35.6 to proto 35.6 (I have 5 already).

Event Preparation - Blueprints

Right, I am pretty sure I am set up for the event (at least, I hope so). However, I am not sure if I should spend my blueprints on Ise, Nagato, Yamashiro, Bismarck, Littorio, Chikuma, or Yura. I probably won't spend them on Ooshio or Arare anytime soon, after all. I have 3 blueprints worth, 4 action reports and a spare proto. deck catapult. Looking at my team, which shipgirl should I kai ni/level for the event? Thanks in advance.<figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px">

[Easy] Am I ready, and what should I improve?

<figcaption> </figcaption></figure>Here's my ship list and equipment list. <figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px">

<figcaption> </figcaption></figure>For resources, I have: Fuel: 22k, Ammo: 21k, Steel: 26k, and Bauxite: 10k (I'm starting bauxite farming right now, though.) This is my first event and I want to do my best. I don't think I'll be able to level Abukuma to K2 by the time of the event, so I'm working on leveling characters like Yukikaze, Shimakaze, getting Kirishima and Hiryuu to K2, etc... Are there any characters I should focus on leveling other than those ones? Is there any equipment I should spam-craft before the event? Thanks!

Winter 2018 (2.0) San-Check

Pretty much what it says on the tin; I'm looking for a Medium-Clear, time permitting. Resources
Fuel - 165k
Ammo - 127k
Steel - 112k
Bauxite - 145k
Buckets - 540 Equipment Goals
There is no particular order/priority other than what I can afford both in screws and modfood.
- Upgrade what Carrier and LBAS aircraft
Shiden M11 -> Shiden M21
T1 Hayabusa MIIIA to +10
Spitfire MKI -> Spitfire MKV
M52C (601) to +10 - Prep Quint torp to +10 for Sextuple Torp quest
Note - I still don't care for TCI as a general thing, but I'm tired of looking at that quest. And since I don't have anything better to do at the moment, I may as well raise up some Kitakamis and Oois for their Quints as I find them - Upgrade Main Guns
20.3cm (No.3)s to +10
Proto 41cm Triples to +10
Proto 35.6cm Triples to +10

Is that reward gun worth the salt if I have 4 Iowa gun already (I don't plan to upgrade them to GFCS) for my BBs? I have enough res. (200k+) and buckets (2k+), but I don't want to waste it, coz I might don't have time in the near future to recover all :S

Where do I go from here?

I mean, currently I'm leveling: Shiratsuyu, Naganami and Yura (Passive leveling Murasame and Kinu via Exped) but I feel a little lost, especially with an event on the horizon. I have so little interest in Kaiboukans orz Also, I guess, what difficulty should I go in the Event? I have 110k Ammo/Fuel, 150kSteel and my lowest Baux (86k). 712 buckets. <figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 340px">

08/26/2018 Fleet Audit: What ships to work on and what equipment to improve?

<figcaption> My girls! </figcaption></figure>I've been playing since a month before the Kashima reward of Fall 2015 event. I have diligently completed daily quests and monthly EOs for medals, with a lot of 3-2A spam for daily sorties and general purpose levelling. What do I need to do with my girls next? 







 I've also uploaded a snapshot of my current equipment. I think I have gotten to the point that I need to begin playing equipment-colle, but need some direction on where to go. At a stock of 115, I am rather poor on screw supplies and will not spend money to buy them. (Money is for more ship slots, rings and RE fairies) So, what should I upgrade to get the best mileage out of the screws I have and what should my fleet be doing now in Phase 2 to earn more than the handful I've been getting for doing weekly quests?<figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px">

Summer 2018 Event Preparations

I am getting ready to enter the Summer 2018 Event and have stockpiled roughly ~30000 to 40000 on each resource, in addition to about 400 buckets.<figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px">

<figcaption> </figcaption></figure> Showcased here is my current fleet. Do you think that I can complete this event fully on easy or casual? If not, then what should I focus on to help prepare for the event? As you can guess, this is my first event and I'm rather inexperienced in such things, so I would enjoy having some assistance from you all. Thanks in advance.

Cosmic Penguin·7/27/2018 in Fleet's Prepared-ness

Getting advice on what equipment I should improve next and which ships to receive reinforcement expansions

Basic account info & resources amount: [[1]] [[2]] Fleet list: [[3]] Equipment list: [[4]] (post originally posted at [[5]]) I have been playing KC for almost 3 years (joined in August 2015 while the Summer 2015 AA Hime event was in full force) and I have already played 10 events (everyone since Fall 2015) so far. Yet after all these years I'm still not confident that my equipment are up to shape for consistent Full Hard clear for events. That (and time for playing/ship farming/resources woes) meant that my only Full Hard clear so far was the relatively easy Spring 2017 event (most of the others were cleared with 1-2 maps in Medium mode). Anyway with my ships more or less in shape for any event (just get all those LV 78/86 destroyers and the 2 seaplane carriers to LV 90 and that's probably OK) what I want to ask is: with my 230 screws left, what equipment should I improve? Plans are already made for getting Iwai Zero 52C to 10 stars, an extra Type 4 Sonar (hence the lone Type 93 sonar is still around) and get all my 16 inch Mk. 7 / Proto-41 cm Triple guns to 4 stars, but I'm unsure of what to do next. Here are my comments on each type of equipment I have in store: Small guns - with 8 ducky guns on 6 stars I don't believe that this is high priority - getting them to MAX is surely a bonus but I'm not sure how much more benefit would that bring. As for those 12.7 cm Type C/D guns, I simply believe that they are still too niche to be of frequent use and I don't think they are high on my improvement list......or are they? Medium guns - I have been keeping the "no dupe ships" principle so far so I only have that many 20.3 cm No. 3 guns, although my minds have changed somewhat lately on this policy. Unfortunately I don't have enough PVP places for dupe ships leveling yet so all Medium guns improvements are on hold (I think the 15.2 cm twin is too niche today). Given that the night battle power for the No.2 gun has recently been restored, is this really much of a handicap? Large guns - I honestly don't know what to do with them - it's obvious the 16 inch Mk. 7 / Proto-41 cm Triple are the ones to go for universal BB guns, but the improvement costs are high and, um, seeing as if everyone aiming for Full Hard clears have GFCS guns made me fear if I'm missing anything (way too expensive for me until very recently, and I still need a source for 41 cm twins first). Is 4 stars enough to get most of the benefits? Also should I improve the 46 cm Yamato guns now? They are simply that expensive to get at all....... Torpedoes - As with the Medium guns, this is another area that I have not yet been getting around to yet after I softened my "no dupe ships" policy. Hopefully I'm not missing too much with Quad Oxygen torpedoes mounts used in between my 3 Quintuple ones...... Secondary guns - I guess no one improve their OTO guns anymore with their limited use? Fighter planes - Most of them have been improved/are about to get to 10 stars, although I wonder if I should turn my Skilled Zero Type 21 Max to become a Type 52, or if I should keep it as a 7 range plane team. There's also the problem of if my LBAS Oscar 64 should be improved: somehow this doesn't seems to be a priority yet many people do that anyway... Special planes - Here it is. I recently finally got hold of the F6F-3N and the TBM-3D, and I wonder if the F6F-5N is a must have despite getting it will probably eat up half of my screw reserves and my still struggling bauxite capacity. I know that it's going to give a bigger punch when used instead of the -3N, but is that going to be that much that I should go for it straight away? Jet Keiun is off my table right now - not when the future of jets is very uncertain. Observation seaplanes - Are there any of them I should improve straight away? LoS doesn't seems to be a big deal nowadays. SPF - I just got 2 new Type 2 SPFs lately, and I think 6 SPF is good enough....or should I get more? If so, I might turn 2 more Ro-43 into -44. Radar - A weak area of my arsenal due to that I never seems to have enough bauxite (never got more than 80k, and usually below 50k), with Type 14/32/33 radars still completely missing. Should I bite the bullet and get a lot more better radar right now? ASW - The number of OASW DDs have risen a lot lately and I think one more extra Type 4 sonar might be enough for the time being. Or is it? Machine guns/AA guns - I heard that the Rocket Launcher K2 does wonders, and I wonder if I should get a few more via improvement. Otherwise, this is more of a "Which ship to get Reinforcement Expansions" question (more on that later). Amphibians equipment - It's been a long time since they get very demanding uses in events. Are there any more of them that I need to improve quickly? Others - Not sure of what else being worth for improvements. Are there any that I should improve now?

Easy Run for Summer18

Hello again my fellow TTK! I've been inactive in the last couple of months (I missed all them juicy proto flight decks and all the other goodies...) so I'm here again asking for your elightnedness XD The situation for ship and equip is as follows: <figure class="article-thumb tleft show-info-icon" style="width: 180px">
