<p>Question:
Are the ship-girls timegated? So would i have to play Now and only now to get warspite or can i leave it for 2 years (Couse screw going to japan when the Olympics is on, it would cost too much)? </p><p>If you cant guess i want to get warspite but dont exactly have the finances to go this instant.... </p>

<p>Since I'm really interested about the game, but I don't have the chance to play it I was wondering if anyone knows about let's plays or youtube series about kancolle arcade that I could follow. Possibly a well developed series of videos instead of a few random gameplay videos. (Obviously if they're all in japanese is fine too) </p><p>Thank you for you attention o/ </p>

• Just like Kancolle Web Browser, you can only have 6 shipgirls in a fleet.
• There is equipment and Kanmusu construction as well.
• Quest list is present but only available after clearing World 1-4.
• You can change the furnitures in your base.
• Docks are available for you to repair your Kanmusus when they are Shouha, Chuuha or Taiha. 
• 4 docks instead of 2
• You need to level your girls for them to become stronger.
• You need to craft better equipments for them to get stronger.
• You get Kanmusus via drops and construction.
• The world map in Kancolle Arcade is the same as the one in Kancolle Web Browser.

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Differences">Differences</span></h2>

• You get to control your fleet movements and actions, meaning you get to dodge enemy torpedoes and shells.
• This is done by using the steering wheel on the Arcade Machine
• There is a certain range in which different Kanmusu types can fire.

<table style="width: 696px;" class="wikitable"><tr><th colspan="5" style="text-align:center;">Firing Range </th></tr><tr><th style="text-align:center;">Range Section </th><th style="text-align:center;">Destroyers </th><th style="text-align:center;">Cruisers </th><th style="text-align:center;">Battleships </th><th style="text-align:center;">Aircraft Carriers </th></tr><tr><td style="text-align:center;">Out of Range Section </td><td style="text-align:center;">No </td><td style="text-align:center;">No </td><td style="text-align:center;">No </td><td style="text-align:center;">Yes </td></tr><tr><td style="text-align:center;">Outer Section </td><td style="text-align:center;">No </td><td style="text-align:center;">No </td><td style="text-align:center;">Yes </td><td style="text-align:center;">Yes </td></tr><tr><td style="text-align:center;">Middle Section </td><td style="text-align:center;">No </td><td style="text-align:center;">Yes </td><td style="text-align:center;">Yes </td><td style="text-align:center;">Yes </td></tr><tr><td style="text-align:center;">Inner Section </td><td style="text-align:center;">Yes </td><td style="text-align:center;">Yes </td><td style="text-align:center;">Yes </td><td style="text-align:center;">Yes </td></tr></table>

• You get to control the fleet speed to determine how fast they travel.
• This is controlled using the Fleet Speed Control on the Arcade Machine
• Caution! Putting a Fast DD, like Shimakaze, in front will cause the rest of the ships to fall behind
• You need to scan the Kancolle Arcade Cards in order to use the Kanmusus in the game.
• You can only get 1 Kanmusu drop after you defeat the Boss Fleet in the sortie.
• ' <i>Defeating other fleets will not grant you Kanmusus as drops'</i>
• Fleet Formation can be changed during battle itself.
• You can spam Kanmusu's secondary guns on the Abyssals.
• Though this is pointless, but it is useful in attracting the Abyssal Fleet attention and dealing some minor damage to them
• Before launching torpedoes at the enemy, you have to choose the direction you want the torpedoes to be launched.
• Main Firing, Launching Torpedoes, Secondaries Firing and Air Attack are controlled via a button located on the Arcade Machine.

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Cons">Cons</span></h2> <p>There is some stuff I have to warn you guys about: </p>

• After returning from a sortie, there will be a cooldown before the game start draining your GP.
• For every 1 second spent in the home base, 1~2 GP is drained.
• Also, you can only craft 1 Kanmusu from construction per session, which means that you have to log out and play again if you want to craft another Kanmusu.
• There is also a limit to the number of times you can replenish your GP.
• There is a timer in every sortie and engaging other fleets, instead of the Boss Fleet, will drain time with <i>Night Battle </i>draining extra 20 seconds if engaged.

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Kanmusu_Sinking_Penalty">Kanmusu Sinking Penalty</span></h2> <p>Sinking a Kanmusu will give you only 3 options after returning from a sortie: </p>

• Pay 600 GP for a Repair Goddess to fully revive her.
• Lose 1 HQ Level and reset the Kanmusu level back to 1.
• Decide later.

<p>You have to pick either one of the 1st 2 options and they will prompt you again if you choose the 3rd option and play again. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Rarity">Rarity</span></h2> <p>Like Kancolle Web Browser, Kanmusus are determined by their rarity and stars. </p> <figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px"> <figcaption> <p class="caption">Meeting Kanmusu in Kancolle Arcade</p> </figcaption></figure><p>This is position of how rare the cards are (sorted in descending order): </p>

1. Damaged CG Kai Holo Card
2. Kai Holo Card
3. Damaged CG Holo Card
4. Holo Card
5. Rainbow Background Card
6. Gold Background Card
7. Silver Background Card
8. Light and Dark Blue Background Card

<p>Please note that it is more advisable to obtain Kai Cards by playing and progressing through Kancolle Arcade. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Kanmusu_Stats">Kanmusu Stats</span></h2>

• Using a Kai, Holo or Damaged CG Card will affect the Kanmusu Stats in the Kancolle Arcade.
• Kai Cards will increase all the stats of the Kanmusu, which is just like how remodeling Kanmusu works in Kancolle Web Browser.
• Holo Cards also increases the stats of Kanmusus, but by just a bit.
• Damaged CG Cards will increase some of the Kanmusu's stats in exchange by decreasing others.
• For Example, having a decrease in Armor Stats for an increase in Firepower and Torpedo Stats.
• Crafting Equipments in the Kancolle Arcade itself and equipping them on the Kanmusus will affect their stats as well.
• Leveling Shipgirls will also increase the Kanmusu's Stats too.

• CVs are not ideal yet in Kancolle Arcade and their reload time is pretty bad as well. 
• 1 CV Reload = 2 BB Salvo
• Since majority of the mechanics in Kancolle Web Browser have not been implemented into Kancolle Arcade yet, it is still advisable to put 1~2 Carriers in your fleet from World 2-3 onwards.
• Advisable to get to the boss as quickly as possible.
• Boss Fleet can be located by the Huge Red Spot, just sail towards that direction
• Double Line is more favourable in Kancolle Arcade than Line Ahead.
• Buying the Starter Cards, aka non-kai versions, will make your game easier if you don't feel like having RNG and Tanaka whack you with a Salt Bucket.
