Spring 2016 Event

Introduction

The Spring 2016 Event, "Deployment! Land-based Aerial Division!" is planned to start on May 2nd, 2016. The entire event will be a "What if" Operation that will involve constructing an Airfield Land Base which will be used to launch Land Based Planes. The event is expected to be about 3 weeks in length and will be large scale operation which will consist of 7 stages that will be divided up into 3 different operations, a main operation, a later operation, and an extra operation.

The event plans to introduce the new "Land Based Plane" System which will introduce new Land Based planes such as the Type 1 Land Bomber and the the Type 96 Land Bomber.

In addition, the event will be the first time an event will branch into two separate operations which can be done at the same time once you complete the main operation.

Special Mechanics

1. The difficulty system first used in Spring 2015 Event returns: you can choose between Operation A (甲, Hard), Operation B (乙, Medium) or Operation C (丙, Easy).
   • Choosing A or B requires certain HQ Level (HQ Lv 35 for B / 80 for A in Spring 2015 Event).
2. There is a 4 way ship lock in this event.
3. Transport Operations introduced in Fall 2015 Event return
   • For transport maps, you need to deplete the TP gauge instead of a HP gauge, depleting the TP gauge only requires an A rank or better and does not require the boss to be sunk.
4. This event introduces a Land-Based Air Groups mechanic for E4 to E7.

Event Maps

The Upcoming event will feature a new branching mechanic which will allow players to branch off from the main operation once it is complete. This will lead to players being able to access the both the Latter Operation and the Extra Operation. Players will be able to choose which operation they want to play. The following example listed below is a rough speculation and will be changed once the event goes live.

Tips 3DD + 1CL + 2CAV starts A - C, avoiding the enemy CV at B. From there you can choose E - H - I - G - J, avoiding F, which contains enemy BBs. You may swap one CAV for a CVL. WG42s, Daihatsu with Marines, and Amphibious Tanks provide damage bonuses against Artillery Imps. A destroyer with two main guns and either WG42, Marines, or Tank, can destroy an Artillery Imp in night battle but is less effective against the Imp in day battle. A destroyer with a WG42 and either (or both) Marines and Tank, will be strong against the Imps in both day and night battle because the bonuses stack.
