Reconnaissance Force Emergency Deployment! Operation "Hikari"

Introduction

The Winter 2017 Event Reconnaissance Force Emergency Deployment! Operation "Hikari" is scheduled to begin on February 11, 2017.

The theme of the event is based upon the Ogasawara Islands and "Operation Hikari", the IJN's planned reconnaissance of and raid on the USN base at Ulithi Atoll.

The upcoming event will be a "small-scale" event, and will feature 3 maps and at least 3 new ships.

Current known information from KanColle Staff's Twitterand Comptiq have revealed the event will mainly center round in the Ogasawara Islands and "Operation Hikari". And has noted there will while Operation Hikari will take place at the Ulithi atoll, the follow up operation of "Operation Arashi" will not be happening within this presentation.

For additional information regarding event-related subjects and content related to the dev tweets, please refer to the following links:

Historical Background

Disclaimer: The following information is based upon a summary of World War II history and may not have any influence with the game itself. This is for historical reference only.

Operation Hikari was a transport operation by the submarines I-13 and I-14. Their mission was to transport disassembled Saiuns to an ad hoc air base on Truk Atoll, where they would be used to scout the USN positions within Ulithi Atoll.

Operation Arashi was intended to be a follow-up air raid, where two squadrons of 6 Seiran seaplane bombers operating from the submarines I-400 and I-401 would bomb the USN positions within Ulithi Atoll.

Information

New Ships

As of this time, multiple ships have been confirmed to appear in the event which include:

  1. A Kamikaze-Class Destroyer that served alongside Asakaze and sank in a transport operations off of Chichijima, Ogasawara Islands after being attacked by a Submarine. (Matsukaze - E-2)
  2. A submarine capable of carrying seaplanes that successfully took part in Operation Hikari. (I-14- E-3 Reward)
  3. Comptiq Magazine reveals that along with the above mentioned content that the Twin Sister of the sub that partook in Operation Hikari will also be avalaible in this event. (I-13 - Very likely a drop)
  4. A new Yuugumo-class Destroyer, Fujinami.

Event Requirements

The official Twitter account also states that two or more Saiun will be required for the second half of the event (presumably referring to the EO segment of the event). This only applies to players intending to tackle this part of the event on Normal or Hard difficulty. [1] Players on Easy difficulty only need Type 97 Torpedo Bombers for this segment of the event.[2]

The latter segment of the event will only be available starting from 12th February 2017 onwards, after 1730 JST. [3]

New Enemy Vessels

New Equipment

A new submarine-based piece of equipment will be given out on the last map of the event. (TBC)

Mechanics

Participation requirements

  • Must have a 75% sortie win ratio.
  • Must have 5 empty ship slots for new ships.
  • Must have 20 free equipment slots.

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).
    • An important note to all Admirals intending to clear the event on Hard difficulty - further (new) conditions now apply:
      • When switching difficulty from any other difficulty to Hard, the map's debuff mechanism (where applicable) will be reset.
        • Switching between any other difficulties will not reset the debuff mechanism.
      • Whether or not these conditions apply to the Winter 2017 Event (assuming a debuff mechanic exists) is currently pending confirmation.
  2. The armor-reducing system of the Summer 2015 Event's final map, where certain nodes had to be killed to reduce boss armor, is likely to return, but in a simplified version (see above for new changes regarding this).
  3. Operation A (, Hard) and Operation B (, Medium) will require you to have mutiple fleets ready, which suggests fleet locking (again, see above).

  • Recommended Compositions:
  • 6SS(V)
    • Using all submarines can make the map relatively easy.
    • There are no LoS checks for this map.
    • If using an all-Submarine team, it may be advisable to deploy your LBAS to Node B.
  • No (F)BBs allowed
