===Is this game translated/is there an English patch?===
No, this game is not translated and because it's a browser game, an English patch is pretty much non-existent. Will it be translated? Highly unlikely.

===How do resources work in this game?===
You have fuel (green), ammo (dark brown/yellow), steel (gray) and bauxite (brown). Fuel and ammo are generally used for resupplying your ship, while fuel and steel are used to repair your ship. Bauxite is used for planes in terms of crafting and resupplying planes to your carriers.

===I heard about the resource cap. How much is the limit? Does that mean I can't gather resources exceeding my limit3?===
No, you can exceed your resource cap by doing expeditions/sortie/quests but you cannot regenerate pass them. To look for your resource cap, go to your admiral's page and look at the right panel, last row in blue.

===Alright, I built my ship, kicked some ass and I noticed the orange faces. What gives?===
Fatigue. It's accumulated when you sent your ships to sortie and its stacked through subsequent sortie. How much fatigue accumulated depends on the performance in battle. When you see the faces, let them rest for a while (orange: 10-11 mins, red: 21-40mins). Docking would help as well.

===My ship sank.===
<s>Print her picture, frame it, burn an incense paper and ring a bicycle bell because you're not getting her back unless you found another copy of her but you and I know, it will never be the same.</s> Or you could equip the emergency repair (応急修理要員) on her. You can get some by completing quests or you could purchase some from the cash shop.

To avoid your ship from being sunk, '''make sure the ships didn't have sad face/excessive fatigue before a sortie and they are not moderately damaged (中破) or more'''.

===How does emergency repair (応急修理要員) work?===
Ships equipped with {{Template:EmergencyRepair}}応急修理要員 will be revived to 1HP upon sinking and become invulnerable throughout the battle. ''Note:'' Night battle and day battle are considered separate. However, it's a one-time use, so use it very carefully.

Instant Repair ({{Template:IR}}高速修復材) is an item to repair ships quickly. Once you get [[Akagi]] or any CV, you'll understand the importance.

===Why am I going through resources so damn fast?===
It goes without saying that you don't have an unlimited number of resources. Running CV and BB fleets is going to eat through your resources faster than you can generate them through either time or expeditions. Make sure that you use those poor DD's and CL's too. Yes, they may seem utterly weak when compared to your hard-hitters, but when you hit 3-2 where you find out the cruel truth that you must clear the map with DD's only, you won't regret leveling them to their respective remodels. Plus less resource cost!

===I cannot rename my fleets!===
You are probably using stand-alone flash player or API link to play the game. Use DMM's Kantai Collection page to play and try renaming your fleets again.

===How do ships with multiple remodels work (e.g., Chitose, Chiyoda)?===
Think of them as evolutions. You can remodel a ship at any point after it reaches the required level, and you need the previous remodel in order to get the next.

===Why do I keep getting sent to the wrong place?===
Different nodes on different maps will have different requirements. Some of the nodes are random in nature while the rest are dependent on your fleet composition (Boss in 3-2 for example can only be reached by a fleet of destroyers)

===How do you beat 2-4?===
Have a fleet of level 30 ships fully modernized consist of at least 2 BB and any ship which could endure the long fighting you'll about to face (4BB+2CV is good). Along the way, use line abreast formation (the 5th) and line ahead when engaging the boss. Before sortie, don't forget to pray to the Compass and RNG Goddess.

*If you have submarine with high enough level then equip turbine/E repair on her and you'll be able to solo 2-4 with her as long as you pray to RNG goddess that you didn't get forced back to base before you reach the boss and when you reach said boss your missile hit and boss mook doesn't hit your sub-chan.

===Weird animation: An 'arc' appears in front of my flagship and another ship of mine got damaged instead, what happened?===
Flagship protection. Ships will occasionally protect the flagship from getting damaged. What really causes it is not known but some formation boost the probability of it happening more than the others. Ring-shaped / Diamond shaped formation will raise the probability of it happening more than the Vertical line formation.

===What ships are 'counters' against other ships e.g. destroyers against subs?===
Generally, Battleships and regular carriers are the queens of the battlefield except when it comes to submarines. Heavy Cruisers are jack of all trades and light cruisers and destroyers with their depth charges are the only ships effective against submarines.

===I saw red text on my menu before I began my sortie, what does it mean?===
You have reached the maximum limit of ships in your dock (default: 100 ships). Consider scrapping or use them as modernizing material before heading out. You will not be able to obtain new ships if you reach the limit. If you wish to expand your docks so you can collect more ships, you have to buy it from the cash shop. Refer to [http://pastebin.com/jvTQfLqb pastebin] for more information on hating your money.

===I notice some players are farming those poor Isuzus, why?===
Isuzu Kai (五十鈴改) has stock equipment which is desirable to a lot of admiral ({{Template:GreenGunDP}} [[12.7cm Twin High-Angle Cannon]] and {{Template:Radar}}[[Type 21 Air Radar| Type 21 Air Radar]]). Combined with her value as modernization material (+4 AA) and low remodel level requirement (Lv.12), It's an attractive proposition.

===Those enemy BB Ru-Class battleships are kicking my ass on the end of 2-4! How are you supposed to beat that flagship type?===
Lots and lots of luck. Jokes aside, they are the first enemy you meet which not only can take a beating but it can dish out a beating too. You will not only need to have remodeled your shipdaughters, you will also need to cap their modernization and ensure all of your equip is of a good quality. While getting to the 2-4 boss can require some luck, you will notice these BB's will start showing up in other maps and you can easily end up against two flagships with two elite partners, which can hurt quite a bit. Just hope that your shipdaughters target them first and take them out of the fight ASAP.

===How could other admirals have significantly higher leveled ships?===
Doing naval exercise yield low admiral exp (20 exp) and high ship exp (up to 1k exp, maybe more). Compound that everyday and the exp gap would grow higher and higher.

===Is it worth to turn Fusou, Mogami, etc into aviation battleships/cruisers?===
Worth it.
Worth it.
Firepower stats drops a little, but every other stats increase. Their Aviation BB-form are still eligible for the quest completion.

===Does slot positioning of the equipment matter?===
In general, yes. For ships capable of carrying aircraft, each slot may gives different aircraft-carrying capacity. see [[#What_does_the_number_beside_my_plane_stand_for.3F|below]].

===Is there any equipment that could do preemptive strike?===
Torpedo and dive bomber could do it on the opening bombing phase. Ship or submarine equipped with midget submarine Type A Ko-hyoteki ({{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}甲標的 甲) also allows you to have opening torpedo attack.

===What do green and yellow guns do? Also, I really hate fighting carriers, which guns help me shoot planes?===
*Only green guns ({{Template:GreenGunDP}}high-angle gun and {{Template:GreenGunMG}}machine gun) shoot planes.

*{{Template:RedGunHeavy}}46cm guns also shoot planes. (Yes, even though they're red.)
*For those wondering about {{Template:YellowGun}}yellow guns: They're for more accurate fire on secondary targets, for this purposes of this game that would be on their second round of fire. Historically, they were meant to fire faster and track fast ships more quickly, hence the accuracy boost. By the way, don't ever use 15.2cm yellow guns, they were bad historically and they're bad in this game too. The 15.5cm yellow guns are great.

===What is the function of the green ammo?===
'''{{Template:GreenAmmo}} Sanshiki''', '''San-Shiki''' or '''sanshikidan''' (lit. "type 3") ammunition is a combined shrapnel and incendiary round for anti-aircraft use, used by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The shell was historically designed for several gun calibers such as {{Template:RedGunHeavy}} [[41cm Twin Cannon]], {{Template:RedGunMedium}} [[20.3cm Twin Cannon]], and {{Template:GreenGunDP}} [[12.7cm High-Angle Twin Cannon]].

===What's the difference between CV and CVL?===
CV can hold more planes and a higher plane count means better performance in the initial air combat phase. You get higher firepower for your fleet as well, which translates to better damage in the shelling phase. Last but not least, CVs have higher defense and HP.

One thing CVs can't do is attack submarines whereas CVLs can. CVLs cost less to keep than CVs too.

===What does the number beside my plane stand for?===
The capacity of the planes it can hold. Different slots have different capacity and will affect the performance of the carrier. Blues on the slot with the most planes = more damage during the bombing phase

===Will I lose all my equipment if I remodel?===
No. The game automatically disarm your ship before she goes through her remodeling.

===What should I equip on torpedo cruisers like Kitakami or Ooi?===
Any gun, torpedo launcher or midget submarine will do, and that midget sub will enable them to shoot a torpedo before the shelling phase. Turbines are a good choice as well, if you want her to increase her survivability.

===Help! my fleet failed to do an expedition.===
There are at least two reasons for that, namely:

===I don't have expedition #xx unlocked.===
Don't skip clearing any previous expedition (e.g. for expedition #18 you need to clear expedition 1 until 17). By clearing, it means completing for the first time.

===Are Kitakami and Ooi second and third remodel considered as CAs for expedition and map requirement purposes?===
No, they're not. If you send them out on expeditions, it'll end up as a failure despite theoretically fitting the requirements stated for it on Wiki.
