How far are you guys in with the sortie worlds? I've hit a wall at 5-3 and pretty much gave up on trying to overcome this horrifying map.
DestinySonata
I'm still in 4-4, nothing's really compelling me to go to world 5 (although I'm slowly completing 4-4 to get to 5-1, then off to 4-5)
right now anyway.
CXu
Only 5-5 thay I haven't tried or cleared. Spending all my rsc on lsc ;;
Exw
5-3 first kill. I haven't made any progress since the last post on this thread, lol.

EDIT :
I got Bismarck today holy shit ;;__;;
First try today, 4/6/7/2/20
I couldn't be happier; thank you based RNG

DestinySonata
So there's a few days left, and I just unlocked 4-5.

First run: "Oh, instant boss node, boss rekt, that was a good run."
Second run: "Taiha pre-boss node (J), oh well."
Third run: "Oh, another boss node, boss rekt again."
Fourth - Tenth run: "Let's all get taiha'd in the first node or preboss node."

I thought the map was going to be quite easy because the first two kills came pretty quick. 30 buckets in, around 5k rsc used and still in my third kill.

This is what my fleet is:
  1. Bismarck - 2 x 38cm / Ar196K / Type 3
  2. Myoukou - 2 x 20.3(2) / Seaplane / Type 3
  3. Maya - 20.3(2) / 25mm concentrated / Type 91 AAFD / 12.7cm HA
  4. Haguro - 2 x 20.3(2) / Seaplane / Type 3
  5. Hiryuu - Type 21 (skilled) / Type 99 (egusa) / Shiden Kai 2 / Type 2 Recon
  6. Kaga - Shiden Kai 2 / Reppuu / Reppuu / Type 21 (skilled)

I went with 2FBB 2CAV 1CA 1CV for 4-5, which worked fairly well. Stacking Reppuu 601 and Reppuu's on Kaga and the CAVs made me barely get AS on bossnode, and even though she can't attack, having that extra FBB worked out pretty well. The final kill was a bit of a lucky run for me though, so I'll have to see if I'm gonna change my fleet up for the final kill next month. + It could be that I was just lucky overall. Having CAV will also prevent you from getting a D on the submarine node. The AP Shell on Italia is mostly for her to have enough power to sink as much fodder as possible on boss node.

DestinySonata
One of my problems is that I only have 1 CAV (Mogami) and I don't have enough medals for Chikuma and Tone, so I'm forced to bring 2CV. And my Kaga only packs around 170 AS, which is much lower than what I need for the boss node.

I feel like I'm screwed this time around.
CXu
Have you tried 4BB 2CV? (or something like that, I forgot). From what I've heard the night battle node and the node afterwards isn't too much of a pain.
Nub1
do I really need to equip all my DD with radar to reach 3-5 boss node? because I tried 5DD 1CL and RNG always sent me to node J ;-;

note:I dont have any radar
CXu
You need to meet the LoS requirement to get to the boss, which is like 28 or something for the hardest difficulty according to the wiki.
Nub1
well I guess I really need to hunt a radar..

As long as you reach 3 ships while counting BB(V)s/CVs/CLTs, you will go to B from the start and then be allowed to take the southern route. (E > H > M)
Personally, I would recommend that only if you are on your way to the final kill. With your fleet resources at 60%, you are still at full power.
The night battle node only has BRS as the most dangerous nuker. The preboss is set on diamond formation, which cripples the enemy's accuracy. 2 Ru kai can still beat you hard without luck.

When taking this way I managed to pull off that kill (and even reach the boss) much more easily than on my other tries by choosing the middle route.
It's all about RNG, always.

^If he's having problems getting to the boss, so trying other compositions is good to see if he gets a higher encounter rate
DestinySonata
I didn't know 4BB/2CV was allowed welp
I'll try that, it looks like a better alternative.

You must be trolled by the compass maybe. It's known to drive you everywhere else but the boss after the preboss node.... (especially this map, 33% to go to boss or something, since there are 3 possible outcome) Perhaps you're just grinding like Sonata said. If so, you should start trying to seriously go through :p
Just keep trying.

As for the nex content, Oboro finally became a beautiful lady.
Also, 6-3 is out. Another light shit fleet map made up to give you numerous headaches.....
-Atri-
I actually dont play maps anymore few weeks ago, I just only farm those exps by PVP

And my fucking sister taking away my laptop
[Kaneko]

CXu
^You bug kinomicandy
Nub1
is it really that difficult? all you have to do is waiting for the next lottery and 5 min before it started just wait and keep refreshing the page (but dont do it too often) oh and set your local clock/timezone to japan, thats all. I already got more than 5 IDs tho (for my friends ofc) xd

i want taigei so badly
do i go 2-5 or 5-2 for her
Yasen Baka
I prefer 5-2 just because you can get decent exp while you pray for the big whale to come to you.
Juuryoushin
2-5 potentially costs less resources though.
CXu
During an event :^)

I prefer 2-5, since you have to play that map anyway for medals
domSaur
i wanna finish 4-4 already but im too lazy to pull out my DDs from exped 38 _(:3」∠)_
Kitsunemimi
Who even uses their fighting DDs for expeditions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Jokes aside (or not), I think I'm finally getting close...
domSaur
i use them to appease the combined lvl i think(fk me i don't have high-lvl backups) for the exped

Feel free to read the rules and make a thread about it here. 8-)

wooo reset \o/

...and I'm stuck at 3-5 again. 1 kill, 7 runs.
Juuryoushin
Changing my method this month, instead of rushing everything, I will make full use of my docks and Akashi.
No more bucks, I need then for summer.
My only real worry is 4-5 though .......

Comp used ? (inb4 south route)

bingo kek (1CL + 5DD)

I'm thinking of trying north route this time. It feels less RNG intensive, but more resource intensive.
Juuryoushin
The north route allows a much more solid comp yes. As long as you don't meet BRS, it should go well....
I used to alternate between these two routes, with a preference for the north route on the final kill.
3 CV + 3 CA(V) (including Maya blowing up all planes) works rather well on my side. The only pain being an absurd bauxite cost. (about 300-500, approximately.)
DestinySonata
I'm fine with bauxite costs, since I'm under soft-cap and I don't use CVs that much.

And I don't think 300 - 500 bauxite per run is absurd :D

I think I'll go with... Kaga, Akagi, Hiryuu, Maya (AACI), Myoukou and Haguro I guess.
