Introduction

The Fall 2015 Event "Charge! Maritime Transport Operation" will be taking place staring November 18th,2015, will be medium-scaled and will feature combined fleets. 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." The dev team have hinted that well trained destoyers and light cruisers to form an elite torpedo squadron will be key to helping you win the event. 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.

In addition, it has been mentioned that there will be some engagement that will involve larger fleets such as Battleships and Aircraft Carriers during part of the event. These will likely become combined fleet operations.

Update Info

New Ships

  • A total of 4 ship girls are confirmed for this event that include:
  • Training cruiser Kashima is the E-3 clear reward.
    • The Comtiq article in December's magazine mentioned it would be the second ship of the Katori Class training cruisers.
  • Arashi was hinted at in an article from Comtique Magazine's September issue. It made mention of a destroyer 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.
    • November's issue hints that a destroyer that was sunk in the area the event will take place will appear.
  • Hagikaze also has been introduced to the game.
  • German Aircraft Carrier Graf Zeppelin was hinted at through Comptiq's December issue, where they revealed that a "foreign capital ship" will be appearing.
    • It's hinted in the very same magazine, that she will only have a "chance" to appear
  • In addition, Mizuho will be a drop.
  • Akizuki and Prinz Eugen will be among the drops in this event, making this their first appearance since the Autumn 2014 Event.


New Enemy Vessels

  • There are five new enemy vessels:
    • Patrol Boat Imp Group
    • Submarine Hime
    • Light Cruiser Hime
    • Destroyer Water Demon

Patch Notes

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

  1. The difficulty system first used in Spring 2015 Event returns: you can choose between Operation A (, Hard), Operation B (, Medium) or Operation C (, Easy).
    • Choosing A or B requires certain HQ Level (HQ Lv 35 for B / 80 for A in Spring 2015 Event).
  2. 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.
  3. According to this tweet, Operation A (, Hard) and Operation B (, Medium) will require you to have mutiple fleets ready, which suggests fleet locking.
  4. 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).
