Revision as of 04:24, 28 April 2014 by >Asashio (→Drops)
The Spring 2014 event started on April 23th and will last until May 9th 1100 JST
Official Twitter
Information from the official Twitter:
- Event Name "Recon planes, launching!"
- High LOS will be the key to increase the chances of reaching the boss nodes.
- To achieve a high value, use of seaplanes, recon aircraft and ships with high LOS is strongly recommended
- A special animation plays showing your planes attempting to find the node when approaching. If there is a positive reaction from your fleet's leader, you will then proceed to fight the boss.
- Event lasts 2 weeks from April 23rd.
- Boss health in this event does not regenerate so stay calm and don't rush. Take it easy.
- Requires at least 75% sortie win ratio to participate.
- At least 5 free ship slots for new girls to join your fleet before sortie.
- At least 20 free equipment slots before sortie.
- 4 new ships added: DD Amatsukaze, DD Tanikaze, repair ship Akashi, and CL Sakawa.
- Amatsukaze is an E-3 Reward (Port Darwin Area).
- Tanikaze can be obtained from drops (E2, E3, E4 boss nodes are confirmed to drop her).
- Akashi is an E-2 Reward (Battle of Sunda Strait), she can repair ships mid sortie (down to moderate damage). A new item, Ship Repair Facility, allows her to repair 2 ships at the same time. The times where she is allowed to repair are limited, however, she will get more functionality in the future.
- Sakawa is an E-5 reward.
- Tone, Chikuma and Bismarck received a second remodel, with Tone-class being reclassified as CAVs. This can be unlocked by using a special Blueprint item, obtainable by trading Extra Operation and Event maps badges.

- Increased effectiveness in the aerial combat phase from successful scouting with carrier-based scouts and seaplane scouts
- Effect depends on whether air superiority or air supremacy is obtained
- Special bonus in shelling phase from seaplane scouts

- Reward for clearing event maps:
- E-1: Medal, Reppuu Kai, Contruction Fairy, Damecon.
- E-2: Medal, Akashi.

Map details
E-1 - Southwest of Samewani Sea - Battle of Samewani Sea
File:6-1.jpg
E-1 Map
- 100 exp
- Node B contains 1 flagship and 1 elite Ka-class submarines
- Rewards Furniture Fairy, Emergency Repair, Reppu Kai, and a Medal upon clear
- Killing the boss 6 times will empty its HP gauge. Not being able to kill it by the end of boss battle will still do some damage to the gauge.
- Boss is CA Ri-Class flagship Kai
Branching rules
- A to B :Fleet with at least two standard carrier (Taihou included. Light carrier won't count). Fleet not meeting any rules goes random.
- A to C, and E to G :Fleet with at least two heavy cruiser (not aviation) and two ships carrying total of 4 drums (E.g. first ship bring 3 drums, another ship bring 1 drum).
- CLT-CLT-CAV-BB-CV-CV seems to be the best fleet composition so far.
- Recon aircraft are required to get to the boss node. Bomber seaplanes such as the Zuiun and Seiran are not considered recon planes.
Tips
- Use expedition 117 if you think you need more damage during sortie.
- Easy grinding setup : 2CA, 1CAV, 1DD, 2CLT (or 1CLT+1BB/CVL). Must bring total 3 drums on 2 ships (e.g. 2 on DD, 1 on CAV) and a seaplane with AA to gain air superiority. There will be no LOS requirement for A C E G H route and only two battle on your way to boss - best of all, you won't encounter any enemy carrier at all and gain some steel in node G for your repairs.

- Map gauge has 6 hp
- Node H is night battle
- Boss is BB Ru-Class Flagship Kai
Branching rules

Tips
- Expedition 117 can be use for extra damage during sortie.
- If pre-boss night battle is too hard, bring in a submarine with Emergency Repair + Turbine/Boiler, you must reach night battle before your SS sustains heavy damage (red hp). Do not set SS as flagship. Or you could use a searchlight.
- Using line abreast in the night battle node may help to lower damage from enemy attacks. (even though formation in night battle does not show up on screen)

File:6-3.jpg
E-3 Map

- Using all fast ships(?), and/or CVL will sometimes result in route C-F-I. There are no air battles here, but I node is a night battle.
- A certain amount of LOS is required to reach the boss node L from preboss nodes H or I.
Tips
- Ships without high health & armor are susceptable to taking high damage from the enemy submarines.

- Use expedition 118 if you think you need more damage in the boss node.

E-4 - Central Pacific Sea - Sweep Against Subs in the Frontline
File:6-4.jpg
E-4 Map
- Rewards New High-pressure, High-temperature Steam Boiler, Repair Goddess , Ship Repair Facility and one Medal upon clear
- Node C has no battle.
- Imuya, Goya, and Hachi drop on all nodes of this map.
- Boss is Submarine So-Class Elite
Branching rules
- From C to D: Fleet with 5 DD or 4DD + 1CL
- From C to E: Any other composition
- E to D or G is random
Tips
- Use double line formation for pre-boss node, and line abreast for the rest.
- If you're feeling lazy, equip your DDs with damage control.
- Recommended compositions:
- 4 DD, 1 CL and 1 CV. Equip your CV with anti-air fighters and the rest of your fleet with ASW. The CV's role is to prevent enemy air superiority, and thus reduce damage taken in the shelling phase.
- DD BB DD DD DD CL. Equip BB with three main guns and a good surface radar. The BB's role is to damage enemy ships to reduce damage taken from them. Using a BBV instead for anti-sub may not be necessary since it gives a second shelling phase for the DDs/CL.

E-5 - North Pacific Sea - Capture Peacock Island Operation
- Rewards Sakawa and three Medals upon clear.
- Boss is Isolated Island Demon
Branching rules
- Starting point to A : Fleet contain 3 or more submarines.
- B → C : Fleet with fast ship only.
- B → D : Fleet with slow ship(s).
- From F or G to J (boss node) : With a certain LOS, otherwise, send you to dead end (H or I)
- From F to H or G to I : Low Fleet LoS or fleet contains submarine.
Tips
- Use at least one slow BB to avoid the fuel maelstrom at node C.
- 4 BB and 2 CV. Fill your Carriers with Reppu (or better), put your best fighter in your carrier's largest slot, with this you can win air superiority in the boss node.
- 3+ Fast BB sends you to south preboss node.
- 3+ Slow BB (excluding BBV) sends you to south preboss node.
- Other compositions seem to be random between north and south.
- 3 BB and 3 CV. Equip at least 6 Reppu and 1 Reppu Kai.
- In contrast to the previous composition, you have room to equip bombers that allow your carriers to attack.
- This composition gets an arguably easier preboss node (north) guaranteed as well.
- 5 Reppu, 1 Reppu Kai, and a Type 62 Zero Fighter-bomber is also sufficient for air superiority at the boss (assuming the Reppu Kai is in Kaga's large slot), and provides slightly more firepower.
- Equipment for battleships : Two 46cm, recon plane, Type 3 Shell (you will need type 3 to deal with the boss). Alternatively, you can add type 91 ammo or Type 32 radar instead of recon planes if you're not going for air superiority.
- Choose line ahead in boss node to deliver highest firepower.
- Both support expeditions are recommended to increase damage output at all nodes.
- 2 DD 2 CVL is a cost-efficient fleet.
- 2 DD 2 CV/CVL 2 BB gives maximum firepower.
- Remember, support expeditions only require the ammo to be resupplied after each sortie. Half of each ships remaining fuel is used for each expedition, giving 4-5 runs before needing to refuel.
- Some (real life) luck is required to sink the boss Isolated Island Demon, since her node also contains a Battleship Princess that is hard to sink.
