Yah, I know. Someone pointed it out to me. I was going to post an apology and promise to tone it back a bit. But then I was blocked for "harassment and intimidation" (that is what the message said) I can get it I was spamming, but I got emotional and was just blindly posting. If you can feel free to delete all my comments about Iowa, I was spamming that to death. Though please keep the one where the one user told me how to make replays, I had no idea how and I think it will be helpful for the future and stop me from doing something this stupid again.

I wrote in one of the answers how to do replays. If you can not find it, or it does not display, say.

I can write it again here if you want.

And something else. If you like this kind of music, I can post links to other songs from time to time. Just tell me if you want.

Nah I got it, sadly all the ones I retreated on were on my phone so not recorded.

It's kinda an "auto" thing with the temporary block.

For replay:

• Open Strategy Room KC3Kai
• Go to "Events" or "Maps". Click the number beside the map
• A replay will be downloaded
• Upload it somewhere (e.g. Imgur)

Here's how to show a replay:

Yah I got it sadly the set of runs that made me lose it were on my phone so not recorded, that said I have another problem, looking back there I saw i had a fleet that made it to the boss semi-consistantly. But it costs a ton of resources i don't have. Which means eitheir I roll the dice less and hope for Iowa, or I run the gambit for less. here is the replay of one of the S-rank runs i made with the resource-heavy consistant fleet. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear it. Replay (do note the carrier kill at the boss with LBAS was not required for AS). Isuzu was the boss drop. 

I've decided to go for a fleet that only gets A-rank at the boss, with more chance to reach the boss and let Friend Fleet handle the whole A-rank thing.

I am not sure how to recommend a fleet myself as I'm still testing out mine. But here is mine. (Don't follow it please)

The key ideas are:

• Make a fleet that is able to obtain A-rank
  • Hence, the CLTs, for opening torp.
• Able to Sink the submarine at node D
  • It is between Toukai or OASW ship. Although normal ships can sink it too but loss all shelling.
• Able to survive node M
  • That's where the AS comes in. Honestly, you can opt for AP too but it hurts more because you can't utilize Artillery spotting.
• Able to survive node W.
  • This part I'm still playing around with. It hurts.
• A-rank the boss
  • I did it under AP instead. No BB allows for no 2nd shelling, less damage from their main fleet.

The problem I can see for your fleet:

• Kongou in escort doesn't do much. BB in escort only does 1 shelling. Kongou being there only does one single damage then have weak night battle.
• Put all your torpedo bombers on your FIRST SLOT of your CVs. Bombers on first slots of a carrier receives double bonus and can reach up to 20% increased critical damage damage.
  • Dive Bombers are usually used AFTER you already use your Torpedo bomber. Ryuusei Kai can be used instead of Suisei to obtain a possible stronger opening air-strike (random between 0.8 and 1.5 modifiers) albeit weaker shelling (but you're using Shoukaku, she already has a goddamm high shelling damage due to her Firepower).
  • Putting your bombers on higher slots actually hurts more in this map because there is more shootdown from the enemy.
• Your Suzuya ain't doing much
  • Like, really, you decided to bring 4 CVs but still use Suzuya as fighter mule while giving your CVs dive bombers.

An upgraded version. No more LBAS needed.

Yah, don't have those ships....

They do not have to be the same. It is enough that they will be from the same class and have similar equipment.

Execpt I don't even have that.

Well, I think that only you have my fleet version left. Only this thing is really terribly resourceful. But I do not need to use LABAS and support and it's always something.
I sent you a replay before, where you can see how it works and what I'm using.
And you should, after the end of this event, focus on the training of these few basic units. This event has even shown which ones. Otherwise, such a nightmare will be repeated again and again.

For the beginner, the best place for training will be 3-2 A map.
I still use it myself. Very good if you want to save bokets. The only problem is the need to have many low-level SS (minimum four). That's why I have as many as twenty un-blinded I-168s.
In conjunction with four repair docks I can send one after the other to the training. When one SS will be repaired, another will be in training. When he returns, the place will be empty. We put the SS into the dock, we send the next one. Over and over again. You just have to remember that CV / L and F / BB / CA would be well rested / changed often (otherwise a different unit than the SS may be damaged). It gives the possibility of continuous training of others, not inflicting fatigue on them.
Another interesting fact is that 3-2 A is perfect for CV / L training. As a flagship unit, they can collect more than one thousand XP time after time. In addition, they always keep their fatigue at forty-nine points.
You just have to remember about replacing BB.

I give up. i will just grind E3 for a duki. I will just wait another 2 years for Iowa.

Honestly, no one knows when it will appear again. Maybe in the next event, maybe never. It is not known.

Quick Question; E3 has only 2 bases but I have the third unlocked, if I set the 2nd base to rest will the third base sortie instead? Or do i have to move all the plane from the third base to the second?

I have head speculation that the new US DD coming will allow Iowa to be built with LSC. like how Z1 can give you Bismark.

Still i do have a good grind fleet for E3.

E3 fleet

If you are uncertain about LABAS, change this third into Standby mode.

Yah but my 3rd base has all my best LBAA so that is why I asked.

In that case, you have to move them (which unfortunately costs), because this map has been for the use of only two LABAS. The third one does not work.

Such a question. On which X-5 maps you are able to win medals every month?

1 and 2 only. that is why I am very stingy with any blueprints.

Do you have unlocked expeditions number 38 and 37? This is probably the best place to acquire resources.

Yah, but they don't give Bauxite or bukets and that is what I'm hurting on.

Never give up.

Too late. I've given up. A-rank is all I can get and Iowa never drops at A. So I will just keep bashing in my head and hope my notoriously shit luck gets better.

How long have you been playing properly?

The game itself? About a year. This event map? Over a week. Over 50 runs about 15 of which were wastes of time because of the bullshit that is node W. Post-clear only 2 S ranks rest are A and not one fucking rare drop with the A-ranks. So yes I have ucking given up hope.

1. From my own experience, all rare drops from node X were on the rank of S. Rang A it is only suitable for those who want a very Iowa, in my case it was 4 Tenryuu in rank in the rank of A. Somewhere in the statistics I read that the rang A the probability for Iowa is slightly less than 1%. When S has over 1%.
2. These fifty-two attemp are successful, I have failed to target ten times. And it is with my resource-consuming fleet.
3. Everything revolves around resources. In my opinion, it is better to display a more expensive but more effective fleet with a greater chance of reaching the goal and getting a better result than a weaker and more delicate fleet but more economical.
If you think that your fleet is too weak to successfully fight on E7 and your resources are currently too small. It will be better if you spend the next week on training individuals and collecting resources, it will later pay off.
That's how it was with me. After the summer event I suffered serious problems in my fleet, and further maps on the autumn event were too resource-consuming to try to farm them at the time. I set aside the rest of the resources for further training, which gave me the full opportunity to issue a very effective fleet at E7 today.
I do not know what your fleet and equipment and resources are, so I can advise you so.
If you believe that after exposing a stronger / more resource-consuming fleet it's easy to reach the range S and believe that you have the chance to get something interesting with node X and is able to feed it, try.
If, however, you are aware that your fleet is too weak / you do not have enough resources, you better give up and allocate these resources / time for training.
This is the biggest drawback of this game. Unit trainings are a boring and a black hole for resources. And you can not jump over it even if you want to pay for it. My fleet and equipment is on my message wall if you want to see.
I won all this in about a year because I started to play somehow in the middle of the spring 2017 event. We must remember that we all started with one small destroyer (My Murakumo).

A fair idea. But even my most powerful fleet struggles to get a S rank because my luck and RNG is so shit. And I'm so low on resources I can't grind anybody. What is worse now is because of my shit luck I will have to wait another year just to be disappointed again. So I have no choice but to bash my head and hope RNGesus feels pity.

Can I see what exactly you have (units and equipment)?

Not right now, on my way to work. Besides I know my equipment and ships are shit. Plus I'm sure you will stomp all over me for not having Abakuma Kai Ni, not my fault that I needed to save buckets because all she does is get Taiha'd. But I will give you the information later today. 

Quite a different thing. Is this video placed by me above displayed, or are my suspicions correct and do not do it?

The video is displayed, just didn't help much, especially when people post about getting Iowa after just 10 runs. And expect my equipment and ships at around 9:30 - 10:00 pm EST tonight. 

At my place is already 23:46 (11:46 p.m.). So in a moment I'm going to sleep because otherwise I will not get up tomorrow. So you do not have to hurry.

And when it comes to video, it's just something wrong with my wikia, which sometimes I can not write, so I was not sure if some mistake does not remove my movies.

Np man, I have to do some transport missions for resources, I'm out of Bauxite again. I will post it here anyway and you can look in the morning. 

Here are my ships and Equipment.

1. I am not an expert, I help as much as I am able to, for more information you can always ask more advanced players on the chat.
2. The most accurate statistic is luck, especially in destroyers (luckily = not to hit). I would focus on training Jervis and Tashkent, Yukikaze. With CL I would train Sendai (with no Abukuma) her night attack is very good. I would finish Tatsute with Kai Ni. Train both CLTs. Train 2 CA (Best-selling versions of Kai NI). Train 2 CAV (Kumano and Suzuya). Finish the training of ALL BBs (Especially Musashi, Yamato, Warspite) and ALL FBBs (Specifically RIchelieu, Bismarck, Haruna).
The most important thing in your CV is the amount of space you have and yours again. Train Hiryuu, Zuikaku, Interpid (above all), Graf (for the socks, at the end).
With CVL, train Zuihou to Kai NI, Chiyoda and Chitose (abundance).
AR train the other to Kai, take the equipment and dump.

I would like to improve the flashlight first (cheap and very helpful, each improvement reduces the probability of hitting our unit, increases the hit of the enemy) and Night Recon (increases the probability of occurrence / increased damage more often). Then I would concentrate on gaining better fighters, Reppu are good but there are too few of them (in other words, they're far from perfect).The best you will get from the tasks. Then it would be good to improve them too.

All this should give you the opportunity to easily pass events on easy and farm units in peace.

Well here is a replay with the set-up that got me S most consistantly.
