My personally developed Kancolle strats.

2-5 LOS Requirement Investigation

  • Using the formula 2*Recon_LOS+RADAR_LOS+SQRT(Total_LOS-Recon_LOS-RADAR_LOS)
  • 74 is not sufficient to get to the boss before the last kill (N=1)
  • 77 is sufficient to get to the boss before the last kill (N=3)
  • 77 is not sufficient to get to the boss for the last kill (N=1)
  • 84 (possibly less) is sufficient to get to the boss for the last kill (N=1)
  • Ryuusei Kai is not counted as Recon_LOS
  • Searchlight is not counted as anything special
  • Slots with 0 plane count still count for the equation
  • VOD

World 2 Boss + Bauxite Farming

  • AV-CLT-CLT-CLT-CL/DD-CL/DD
  • Triple midget subs on Chitose/Chiyoda
  • 2-2 Line Ahead
  • Roughly 50% boss encounter rate
  • High levels recommended for evasion
  • You can bring a sub but expect to get trolled sometimes

World 4 Boss Hunting

  • 4+ High level SS/SSV with cut-in setups
  • (Optional) Sparkle all ships before sortieing
    • Seems less important with 5 high level subs
  • Deploy to 4-2 in Line Ahead at all nodes

4-3 Submarine Hunting

  • CV-BB-CLT-CL-CL-DD or CV-BB-CLT-CL-DD-SS
  • Southwest first is guaranteed 8+ submarines

5-4-A Grind

  • All day erry day
  • Best exp:ammo ratio in the game outside of practice
  • Use Double Line for shelling accuracy
  • CV/CVL MVP setup
    • CV/CVL-BB-CV/CVL-CLT-CA/etc-SS
    • Equip flagship with 3x Ryuusei Kai and a secondary gun.
    • Equip second carrier with 1 Reppu, two bombers, and Saiun
  • BB MVP setup
    • BB-CLT-CV/CVL-CV/CVL-CA/etc-SS
    • Equip flagship with 2 main guns, seaplane and surface radar
    • Equip carriers with enough fighters for 75 fighter power, Saiun and fill the rest with torpedo bombers

3-3-A Grind

  • All day erry day
  • Superior exp:ammo ratio compared to 3-2-A
  • Any-BB-CV-CV(L)-CLT-SS(V) works pretty well
  • Akagi best CV
  • Now obsolete due to 5-4
  • Akagi still best CV
 
Akagi is cute
