Introduction
The Fall 2016 event Announcement! The Third Fleet Operation Plan is schedule to begin on November 18th, 2016 following the November 4th Update.
Currently the theme of the event is speculated to be based upon the "Third Fleet Operation plan", an operation to attempt to eliminate the US Carrier forces. This operation expanded across from the after math of the Doolittle Raid in which the Japan made an attempt to intercept and try to take out the USS Hornet all the way to the Battle of the Coral Sea, which was the last major attempt at the operation before the Decisive Battle at Midway.
The KanColle staff have revealed that the event will be a normal scale operation, will require a large expansive fleet, and will require to have multiple fleets for harder difficulties. In addition it has been note that one of the new ships will be an American Aircraft Carrier and also the upcoming KanColle Festival de Beaujolais Nouveau may serve as a location where more hints regarding the event along with a silhouette of a mysterious ship will be revealed in some way at the gathering.
More information will be revealed likely through the KanColle Staff's Twitter and the KanColle Festival de Beaujolais Nouveau.
Information
New Ships
As of current, multiple ships has been confirm to appear in the event which include:
- An Aircraft Carrier that was a part of the United States Navy and is noted for it's very large smokestack (Which hints in the direction of the Lexington-Class Aircraft Carriers.
- The possiblility of a possible French Ship due to a silhouette illustration for the KanColle Festival de Beaujolais Nouveau.
New Enemy Vessels
N/A
New Equipment
N/A
Mechanics
Participation requirements
- Must have a 75% sortie win ratio.
- Must have 5 empty ship slots for new ships.
- Must have 20 free equipment slots.
Special Mechanics
- The difficulty system first used in Spring 2015 Event returns: you can choose between Operation A (甲, Hard), Operation B (乙, Medium) or Operation C (丙, Easy).
- Choosing A or B requires certain HQ Level (HQ Lv 35 for B / 80 for A in Spring 2015 Event).
- The armor-reducing system of the Summer 2015 Event's final map, where certain nodes had to be killed to reduce boss armor, is likely to return, but in a simplified version.
- Operation A (甲, Hard) and Operation B (乙, Medium) will require you to have mutiple fleets ready, which suggests fleet locking.
- The initial maps will focus on transport operations (Lighter ships, such as CLs and DDs likely), while the later maps will focus on heavy ships (CVs and BBs).
