Charge! Maritime Transport Operation

Introduction

File:Kolombangara NASA.jpg
Kolombangara as seen from an overhead view.

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:
  • Training cruiser Kashima is the E-3 clearance 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.
  • 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.

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).

Battle off the Shore of Korone Haikara Island
【コロネハイカラ沖海戦】

Information

  • Boss: Light Cruiser Princess
  • Transport Gauge: 320 (Hard), 200 (Med), 100 (Easy)
    • To reduce the gauge, you must go through node J and obtain at least an A-rank victory at boss.
    • You do not need to sink the flagship to deplete the gauge.
    • Gauge depletes by 18, +3.5 per Drum Canister equipped, +5.5 per Daihatsu-class Landing Craft equipped. S-rank victory will increase the depletion by 50%.
      Note that for this map only Abukuma Kai Ni can equip Daihatsu-class Landing Craft due to the restriction on ships.
  • Ship Restrictions: Flagship must be a CL and 5 DDs in the rest of the fleet
  • Ships tagged GREEN

Tips

  • Clearing this map may require collecting resources from resource nodes with Drum Canisters and doing some amount of damage to the boss.
  • Recommended composition for favorable pathing: Jintsuu, Mikazuki,Satsuki,Hamakaze, Yukikaze
    • This composition takes you through path A--D--F--I--J--K.
    • Having a fleet without Satsuki opens up the chance to enter this path, but she is needed for guaranteeing this pathing.

Korone Haikara Island Eastern Offshore
【抜錨!海上輸送部隊】

Information

  • Combined Fleet
  • Boss: Seaplane Tender Princess
  • Gauge: 800 (Hard), 500 (Med), 300 (Easy)
    • Requires going through node G to reduce the boss gauge
    • You do not need to sink the flagship to deplete the gauge, just get A rank or better
    • Gauge depletes by 40 (A rank) and 81 (S rank) barrels will add 3.5 to the depletion rate per barrel
    • Daihatsu landing craft have been observed reduce the gauge by an additional 5.5 per craft, this requires Abukuma
  • Ship Restrictions: Transport Combined Fleet
  • Ships tagged GREEN
  • Rewards upon clearance: Kashima
    • Clearing on Hard (甲):
    • Clearing on Medium (乙):
    • Clearing on Easy (丙):
  • Tips:
  • CAVs are needed to maintain Air Parity, or the Seaplane Tender Princess at the boss node will be able to deal huge amounts of damage with artillery spotting. An AS value of around 40 is required for Air Parity.
  • You can use Akitsu Maru (as the flagship for additional protection). Having a Reppuu Kai, a Type 53 Zero Fighter (Iwamoto Squadron) and a Daihatsu-class Landing Craft is the optimal load-out for pre-final approaches that provides 116 air power and thus air superiority at the boss node. For final form you will need 132 air power to reach superiority which requires swapping out the Daihatsu-class for a Reppuu. With this set-up your CA(V)s can be set up for artillery spotting.

Tips

  • Reccomended Fleet composition:
    • 2BB/FBB (not BBV)/2CVL/2CL+2DD/1CL/2CLT/1CA(Maya Kai Ni)
      • The Four-slot CLs (Yuubari and Ooyodo after reaching Kai) are very useful as they can equip more ASW equipment than other ships of their kind and so have the potential to hit the boss harder.
      • It is important to keep a certain amount of firepower reserved for enemies other than the boss. As such, BBV are not recommended, and CLT are very useful (as they will only target surface ships for great amounts of damage).
      • Maya Kai Ni is useful as she can cover Anti-Air Cut In duties for Destroyers who are put to better use in an ASW role.
