Ah I see, any specific ships I should save for E4? I've been thinking this is a god damn event where Cruiser + DD is spotlight for E2-E3 and E5 because of the new mechanics, yet CL is also one of the weaker side of KanColle...
That's fast @fire :D. Congrats. I still level up Hamakaze for E2. Did you do E2 with the 5 girls?
@King For farming, easy mode is the best. Although dev said that higher difficulty has higher drop rate; but easy diff still has far higher chance for reaching boss and S rank than med and hard.
I swear every single time there is a new event the Combined Fleet mechanics get nerfed to no end, first the accuracy got hit, now the damage got hit, like god damn BB either don't hit or hit for scratch damage >_> My Atago and Takeo actually hits more and harder than BB >_>
Yes and no. When combined fleet was first introduced during Operation AL/MI there was just "Combined Fleet", accuracy was beyond insane which made the event rather friendly and easy (Apart from the EO I think) provided you have a reasonable amount of resources.
Following the next event (or the one after?) Combined Fleet making its return and it was now split into two option, Suijou Butai and Kidou Butai. If I remember it correct Suijou Butai have decent accuracy and damage compared to the Kidou Butai which rely on a heavily broken CV mechanics and also what I felt to be a massive ninja nerf to CV where they don't hit anything, so generally Suijou Butai is favored over Kidou Butai unless Kidou Butai give better branching rules and survivability, otherwise generally people use Suijou Butai, then there comes the events that follow onward where they start introducing more mechanics such as shiplocking, noding picking branching...etc but what is really weird is that is when Suijou Butai accuracy got massively hit and ships that rely on artillery just no longer hit anything, but when they do it dealt the damage you normally expect. Then we have what we have now, high inaccuracy, low damage for ships that rely on artillery and we now all bet on our cut in DDs to finish off the boss since the rest of your fleet just doesn't hit anything.
[MENTION=73341]DreamCa7ch3r[/MENTION]; How good is the damage against SS princess without armor debuff? Also which combined fleet formation you use against her? :D
[MENTION=26]KingArturia[/MENTION]; I haven't properly started E-4 yet. Now restocking a bit more resources before jumping into Graf/Pud farm.

Ah fair enough, for "Easy" farming which I never done before, what do you do? Repeatedly spamming between easy/normal boss node until you get your desire drop and then go back to the difficulty you want?
Also from those statistics it seems like normal might be worth trying? Seems like Hard and Easy have similar drop rate then there is no point on doing Hard yet.
[Off Topic:] I'm so close yet so far from my favorite ship of all time...I cannot wait until I get my hands on her...at least I don't have to RNG my chance of getting her in WoWS :P
[MENTION=73341]DreamCa7ch3r[/MENTION]; How good is the damage against SS princess without armor debuff? Also which combined fleet formation you use against her? :D
I failed to kill her twice in her final form, but otherwise it's not that hard. You should probably do normal or higher, I couldn't because I don't have enough buckets or resources. It's easy to farm her while not in her final form.
As for the drops... you'll probably get all the subs twice before zeppelin... i cri :'(
[MENTION=26]KingArturia[/MENTION]; Yamato! Congrats!
Yeah, I switch between difficulties to reset the gauge.
Farming best do Easy / Medium. I'm sticking with Easy now cause being able to use locked E-1 ~ E-3 girls.
[MENTION=73341]DreamCa7ch3r[/MENTION]; You just reminded me that I can use locked ones on Easy mode. I locked my ABKM for green. Having 2 opening torps for farming are better than one. Thanks!
No point gambling with an extra 1 or 2% on Medium+.
If I can get Akizuki on Easy, why not Graf and Pud. I on the assumption that new ships will have higher drop rate than returning ones.
Farming for Pud will be a pain cause of the PT Imps.
Yeah I tried going to M once. Was not good.
Also I just noticed that Graf Zeppelin can launch planes at night, so even with the low plane count she could be pretty useful.
Devs are now reworking on Graf's night damage calculations and she will be using her yasen guns instead of planes.
Screenshot her launching planes at night now for keepsake if you have her.
She can DA at night with 2 secondary guns???

The PT Imps has been nerfed. They made a mistake by making them having god-like evasion.
There are reports that Ro-500's graphic errornumously shown as Kashima's and Ooshio's text label errornumously shown as Kaga Kai Ni A after this update. Apparently clearing cache will help fix this.
