Difference between revisions of "Fall 2015 Event"

Revision as of 22:25, 8 November 2015

Introduction

Kolombangara as seen from an overhead view.

The Fall 2015 event will be taking place this coming mid-November. The date is set for November 18th,2015 and the event will be medium-scale. The Kancolle dev team has hinted the event will be taking place in a "circular island" in the Southern Seas. Within that location, there will be several battles and "transportation operations". The event map will therefore likely be a series of battles that took place at Kolombangara.

If this is true, expect the majority of the events battles to consist of using smaller fleets to perform "Tokyo Express Runs." Since most of the battles at Kolombongara were small engagements, the battles we will likely see during include the Battle of Kula Gulf, The Battle of Kolombangara and the Battle of Vella Gulf. For this reason, admirals are advised to train up their destroyers and light cruisers. Some maps may feature only night battles.

Update Info

New Ships

A new training cruiser has been announced.
- This is likely to be one of the two remaining finished Katori Class training cruisers, the Kashima or the Kashii.
- A less likely option would be the unfinished Kashihara.

An article from Comtique Magazine's September issue made mention of a destoyer that worked alongside Kawakaze and engaged in a furious night battle. The Battle of Vella Gulf ties this connection together as both of them sunk during middle of the night.
- This makes Kagerou-class destoyer Arashi a likely candidate.
- November's issue hints that a destroyer that was sunk in the area the event will take place will appear.
In Comtiq's November issue, they revealed that a "foreign capital ship" will be appearing.

New Enemy Vessels

The November issue hinted there will be a new enemy vessel. As a new boss-type is a staple in every event, a new standard enemy ship-type may appear.

-It's strongly advised to have a well versed team of small ships at the ready as you will be most likely using destroyers and light cruisers for the majority of the battles. There also may a possibility that some maps will likely feature mostly / all night battles.
