- Saury Fishing mini-event implemented
- Sortie to various maps, destroy the enemy fleets and secure the area to fish!
- World 1 and 3 are your main destinations.
- As usual bringing Skilled Lookouts, Searchlights, Recon Aircraft, Onigiri will increase the drop rates.
- Overfishing mechanic is here again.
- Sortieing to one map or world too often will result in drop rate reduction.
- Consider taking it slowly or switching between maps and world often to mitigate this mechanic.
- Sonars can be quite effective as well. Devs mention "deeper underwater" search, so maybe submarines will play a role too?
- Destroyers, Kaiboukans and Light Carriers all have a positive effect on the drop rates.
- Sauries will disappear with the end of the mini-event so make sure to cook them
- Sashimi will give resources
- Salt-broiled Saury will give various materials
- Grilled dishes will be canned and can be used as Combat Rations
