Introduction
The Summer 2015 Event "Counterattack! The Second Operation SN" is slated to start on August 10, 2015, and will last for about 20 days. The event will be based on Operation SN, the Japanese plan to establish air bases in the southern Solomon Islands; however, there was no actual second Operation SN historically.
This will be a large-scale event that will contain combined fleet operations and ship locking mechanics. There will also be a new system introduced into the game that will be equipment related.
Patch Notes
1. Summer Event 2015: "Counter attack! The 2nd SN operation" has started and will last for twenty days.
2. Main part of the "Counter attack! The 2nd SN operation" event consists of four maps: E-1 "Preparation, the 2nd SN Operation!" E-2 "Combined Fleet, to the Solomon Sea!" E-3 "Charge! The 2nd South Pacific Battles" E-4 "To the Strait! Destroy the Enemy Airfield!"
3. Clearing the main part will award you with the following new ships: Clearing E-2 will award DD "Kawakaze" Clearing E-4 will award seaplane-carrying oiler "Hayasui"
4. E-2 and E-3 requires Combined Fleet. The first fleet is the main and the second is the supporting fleet; you can drag the icon from 2 to 1 to create the Combined Fleet.
5. Item rewards 1/3 E-3 will award you with the new plane "Type 97 Torpedo Bomber (Murada squadron)"; finishing a quest will allow it to receive a plane upgrade.
6. Item rewards 2/3 Clearing the areas will award you with items and consumables including "Reinforcement Expansions", "Battle Rations", "On-Sea Resuppliers"
7. Item awards 3/3 Choosing different difficulties will reward different amounts of items: You can get "Type 97 Torpedo Bomber (Murada squadron)" on all difficulties.
