Winter 2016 Event

Revision as of 00:16, 12 February 2016 by Acecipher (talk | contribs) (→‎E-2)

Introduction

The Winter 2016 Event Sortie! Operation Rei-Go is planned to start on February 10th, 2016 at 1900 JST. The event will be based off of Operation Rei-Go, a one day battle that took place along Mindoro Island where the IJN counterattacked US forces staging a landing on December 26th, 1944.

The Event is composed of only three maps, and allows for difficulty selection like in previous events. The Hard difficulty will be more difficult compared to usual event maps.

The first two stages will be themed on Operation Rei-Go and the Final Stage will be an Extra Operation, a "What If" scenario focusing on an Interception Mission.

In addition, it will feature battles against land based air units and a new gimmick system in E-3 that will be different from the usual armor reduction gimmick.

It's also been noted that for the first two maps, fleet requirements will be flexible; this will vary depending on the difficulty setting.

Information

New Ships

Currently, 3 new ships are slated to appear as part of the event. The ships we are aware of so far are:

  • An Akizuki Class Destroyer that bravely sacrificed herself to protect some members of the Ozawa fleet, allowing them time to escape. She was commissioned and struck from the list during winter. It has been confirmed that this is Hatsuzuki and she will be a reward for clearing E-2.
  • The February issue of Comtiq Magazine revealed that a Yuugumo-class Destroyer is being added during the event. It's been noted that this ship also fought in the same battle as Hatsuzuki and sunk soon afterwards. This turns out to be Okinami.
  • Finally, February's Comtiq Magazine revealed that a foreign ship is expected to appear in the Extra Operation Map. Based on early results this may be the Zara.
  • In addition, it been confirmed from a series of tweets that ships from past events will appear in this event as drops, most likely Graf Zeppelin, Mizuho, Akitsushima and Amagi.

New Equipment

New Abyssals

New Abyssal Land Based planes: Abyssal Land Based Bomber and Abyssal Land Based Bomber Ace

Mechanics

Participation requirements

  • Must have a 75% sortie win ratio.
  • Must have 5 empty ship slots for new ships.

Special Mechanics

  1. The difficulty system first used in Spring 2015 Event returns: you can choose between Operation A (, Hard), Operation B (, Medium) or Operation C (, Easy).
    • Choosing A or B requires certain HQ Level (HQ Lv 35 for B / 80 for A in Spring 2015 Event).
  2. It's been noted that the Extra Operation will involve a use a new gimmick that will not be related to the armor reduction gimmick.
  3. There does not appear to be any shiplocking this event.

    • Recommended fleet to accomplish this: Kasumi + 1 DD, 1 CLT, 1 CA, 1 BBV, 1 CVL
    • Note that node G and H are air raids: It is a single air battle phase, but you will not be able to inflict any damage. At these nodes, damage taken determines the victory rank (it is not an automatic loss). You will not be able to enter night battle at these nodes either.

Tips

  • Umikaze does not drop on Easy.
  • Recommended fleet compositions:
  • There are two different routes you can take depending on your fleet.
    • North Route cannot have CVs or BBs or else you will start at south.
  • Supply Depot Princess is an installation type boss, so Type 3 Shells and WG42 are highly recommended.
  • The southern route allows for much more firepower, and more type 3 shells.
    • 4BB 2CV or 2BB 2CA 2CV allows for maximum firepower, but takes a very roundabout route (CDGKLMO).
    • 1fBB 2CA(v) 2DD 1CV allows for the much shorter CGKN route. AACI is recommended for one of the DDs since Type 3 Shells is needed for the CAs and BBs
  • Node C and G in South Route and Node ? in North Route are Single Aerial battles. Consider using Diamond formation or bring an AACI setup.
