She's not real. lolI'm out of resources now, and still no U-511
I got two of U-Chans within 3 S rank E-6 boss kills on Easy ._.
Also came across two Amatsukazes before I finally managed to get my Ooyodo.
No chance of getting Unryuu though, since I cleared E2 on Easy.
I had the same problem. After some recommendations I've changed my team to 3 FFB, CAV, CA, and CV. Also I have crafted some green shells. And only then I could sink boss in the night battle.
I basically just chipped the boss until it's at final dance status, then sent a support expedition for the boss node to finish it off.
Sanshikis (Type 3 green shells if I'm not wrong) are recommended for CAs/BBs due to the boss being a installation type.
Aircraft Carrier princess can diaf.
Sanshikis and a support expedition. You want strong CA's over BB's though as they hit harder (due to torps) and are more accurate in night battle.

You'd think that they'd help. I'm using:
Kongou kai - 55
Zuikaku kai - 25
Kumano kai - 35
Suzuya kai - 37
Kaga - 29
Hiei kai - 41
All relatively high level. (I would've thought for easy) 2AP shells and one sanshiki as I can't seem to build anymore. Even with a support expedition I'm just not getting lucky.
EDIT: Got two sanshiki in a row. It's go time.
Drop either Zuikaku or Kaga (and put all the fighters on one). You will want to night battle and carriers can't night battle.
In it's place put the highest level sub if you have one with a repair team (the sub will go to red but if you have a repair team you can keep on advancing to the next node until it's sunk, once it's sunk it will use the repair team and be invincible for the rest of the battle, do not advance to another node after this as the repair team will be used). If not bring the highest CA possible.
edit. Finally beat e6 (and the support fleet failed to show up); Ooi and Kitakami carried the team (which seems to be a common theme amongst players for this event).
Every event you mean.

Still no Roma.
Well, the recent events were quite easy. I'm missing the good old days of sacrificing shipgirls and autoreg.

If you have a submarine, use the sub + damecon trick to cheat the boss. It makes E5 super easy. Use boss support for guaranteed S.
200+ runs for Roma. It was murder.

What ships should I be sending on the support, because I'm still not getting lucky here. I've been using 2DD/2FBB and 2CA
firehawk12
Subete no aware
You need 2dd, 2(f)bb, and 2cv.
Hiryuu + Soryuu are the best because of the fire power stat, but you can use CVL if you want to lower the cost. You want to hit the FP cap, but generally you put 2/3 of your best bombers on the CV + radar.
For the DD, you want two of your best red guns + (surface) radar.
For the BB, you want two of your heaviest guns on each, a AP shell, and a radar.
Sparkle whoever you use as your flagship, and if you are extra paranoid, sparkle a few more ships. Sparkle almost guarantees it will activate, but it's still RNG on whether or not any ships get taken out.

Congrats. lol
If resources are a worry, you should probably try on easy. Final dance is going to be a biiiiitch.

Honestly, easy e6 was much harder than easy e5, i'd almost suggest doing e3 and e1 farming instead.
Just got Ooyodo, think I'll continue farming e1 for Urakaze and e3 for Takinami, but I wouldn't care at all if they don't drop, got about 10-15 new ships from this event so I really can't complain.

I feel like e6 easy should be fairly easy to brute force if you have enough resources. Really depends on you having Ooyodo and FCF though.
That said, the prize ship at the end seems to be useless right now... but who knows. She might be important later on and getting her is probably going to be just as annoying.
I don't think he has enough if he's down to 2k steel, but it's worth trying to s rank it a couple of times and get a lucky Roma/U drop and continue on from there.
His levels are kinda low like mine were, and Aircraft Carrier Princess will say nope on the preboss node more often than not as she hits frequently and that will drain resources fast.

If you do 37/38, steel seems easily replaced... he could probably stockpile for a couple of days. The big sink is going to be ammo and fuel, since it's a combined fleet map.
Just saying, I did not think it was easily brute forced at all on easy, but it's worth a shot (but don't get frustated if it doesn't work out).
For reference this was my fleet on the final kill (the map is a great place to level so that's the really good thing about it).

Fubuki 67
I didn't have an AACI (was leveling fubuki for the fire director for that purpose) and I was sent home more often than not on the preboss node.
Sadly for me 37/38 isn't possible for me right now as before the event I took a bit of a break.
Fuel and Ammo I'm fine for. I have 50k fuel still and 150k ammo. It's just steel I'm after, but I've started running 3-2 with subs now I finally have 4 of them.
That's more than enough fuel and ammo, really confused how you got so short on steel when you have such a large stockpile of fuel and ammo left, and truth be told you shouldn't need that much steel. It's just your levels are a bit low like mine were and air craft carrier princess picks on low levels like a bully.
I went through a hell of a lot of steel trying to craft AP shells/sanshiki when I was having huge issues with E-5. I blame that.
You'd also think the Aircraft Carrier Princess is my problem but it isn't. My problem is I get really unlucky killing the escorting battleship (keep missing it) and it soaks up all the hits meant for the boss.
Run support fleets all the time, since you have the extra fuel and ammo needed, if you get lucky they'll nail the RU battleship.

Ah you don't have them unlocked? Yeah, 3-2 or just grinding... 3 I think is one slow way to get more. I was only able to craft one sanshiki. The others I got from rewards and modernization. Stupid RNG.
Good luck with the steel though. You'll definitely need it for repairs, but ultimately it's the one resource I have the most of at this point because the only time I use it is for repairs.

Got tired of farming E1 for Urakaze so I'm done for the event, got 18 new ships in total.
8 Destroyers (Hamakaze ... got like 6 of this one, Tokitsukaze, Amatsukaze, Nakagami, Tanikaze, Asagumo, Uzuki, Takanami).
1 Light Cruiser (Ooyodo)
1 Heavy Cruiser (Kumano)
1 AV (Akitsuhima)
1 CVL (Zuiho)
1 CV (Katsuragi)
3 Battleships (Roma, Littorio, Nagato)
2 Subs (I8, I19)
It was fun.

Ouch... I still think it's crazy how you have so much ammo but no steel though, but I guess if you just start crafting, that can happen.
For my first event, I managed to get all the event exclusive ships, some other are drops, and even a U-511. The one thing that alluded me was a second I-8... which I don't know if I'll ever get based on how many times I've tried E3, 1-5, and the construction attempts. Still, I can't complain too much... other than the fact that I am completely tapped out of resources and out of ship slots because of all the Maruyu I got (and need to keep until level 20).

Finally. At the eleventh hour I got Amatsukaze from map E-1. She took four days, a few hours of playtime and I don't even know how many attempts to finally get.
I guess it's to balance out the fact I got Ooyodo as my first drop for the event. My very next run I S-ranked E-1 and I got Urakaze. I knew she was a rarer DD to get and was pleased but it wasn't until looking at a couple forums that I saw that she was really sought after by people. Next couple of runs weren't really that special but I got another Haruna for completing E-1.
Right after getting Amatsukaze I went back to E-3 to try and get some of the submarine girls. Only three goes or so in I had a really good run and audibly thought "That deserves something good". I ended up with the new DD Takanami. I had actually completely forgotten about her,haha. I was playing right up until just a couple minutes before maintenance and my last drop was finally an SS but I got I-168 who is one of the two who I have aside from a couple of I-8,haha.
I wasn't really sure how far I'd get since people were saying it would probably be difficult enough just to get to E-4 even on Easy when commenting on others peoples fleets who looked comparable to mine. Thankfully I was able to complete the entire event on the Easy difficulty. Hard would have been too difficult with its fleet locking since I had to level up about three girls just to even make one combined fleet,haha.
Thank goodness I was able to craft three AP shells and two Type-3 shells, or sanshiki, during the event to help with things like the level E-4 boss. When a girl got a critical hit on both shots she could do about 380 damage!
I think E-5 might have been the most difficult for me since I didn't really have the ships that were found to guarantee you a path to the boss. They were either really low level or I only acquired them in the event itself. Like getting Kumano for example. I used the Fubuki and Sendai combo then.
E-6 was annoying because of the flagship girl in the node right before the boss. The one run I actually had perfect health on everybody but then just one of her shots sent one of my ships to the read and that was it.
Multiple times having a really good run and then the Random Number Garbage suddenly having me miss or just do scratch damage at the end so that the boss survived with just 20 hp or less was really annoying. It really makes me wonder if I might have actually gotten U-511 or Roma if it weren't for that.
Honestly the difficulty was all over the place. Things would be the same with no T-Cross and my morale being the same but one run the boss of E-4 for example would just one shot three of my BB into the read. They wouldn't have a turn during the night battle phase and such then making it more difficult to get an S-Rank. The next run she would miss, do minor damage and then miss again making that go so much easier to S-Rank.
I much preferred the map setup in different ways during the event. Getting a choice of which way to go and having enough LOS guaranteeing you access to the boss node for example. I wish more of the regular maps had that. I was stuck on map 1-3 for an entire weekend because whenever I got to the last node before the boss node it would send me to the other node you could go to instead. The next day after I finally got there and S-ranked it, I got to the boss node four times.
As far as other notable ships I acquired during the event I got:
DD - Yuugumo, Kiyoshimo, Tokitsukaze
BB - Mutsu.
I already had all of them but I got Kongou, Hiei x2, Haruna x3 and Kirishima x4.
CV - Shoukaku
While farming seemingly endlessly on E-1 I got the DD's Hamakaze, Tanikaze x2 and another Urakaze.
As well as two of the CVL Zuihou.
Overall it was interesting but left a bit frustrated regarding E-6 and the amount of time it took to get Amatsukaze.

No, the closest thing you can use is the KC3Kai viewer for Chrome, but otherwise you basically just have to remember where everything is. There's not that much to learn though since the game is fairly simple.
Going to wait for people to get it and try it first. It also depends how friendly it is in terms of language.
Yes. I preordered the LE. I have a problem.

A good problem.
I do hope that we can play it. For some reason I was getting a strange paranoid feeling that it would somehow be locked to Japan's region when you go to log in or something....might have to wait to play it till people can translate some of the menus lol.
I do have the LE ordered though :3

At most, I could see them making ships DLC and you would need a JP account to by them. That alone would make me not want to get it since the hassle of changing regions is too much.

Shucks. It looks like the Chinese imitator Warship Girls will be getting a official English release before KanColle does.

Yeah as you said its fairly simple to remember everything, the only issue I ran into was when I accidentally continued a mission with critically wounded ships and lost three of them.

Translated by the fans at Himeuta no less.
For whatever reason, Japan doesn't want to sell its game outside of the country... and I wonder how they can avoid lawsuits since this is more than just taking an idea and doing your own spin on it, on the surface it looks like it replicates a lot of the mechanics.
When I'm not paying attention, I still click the wrong button at times. lol
Well, I hope the translation is a fun one that does stuff like have the American ship girls that come from the south use southern talk. I moved to the south a couple years ago and I see stuff like "ya'll" even show up in text messages.
Edit 1: It says here that everyone actively playing Warship Girls should back up everything.
http://warship-girls.wikia.com/wiki/The_conflicts
Edit 2: Now that I think about it, I wonder how the Missouri will be handled once she is eventually introduced. She is from that era but what makes her different is that she is still around. Are there any other WWI/WWII era ships that are still around? Even the Vanguard, the battleship that didn't set sail until after WWII ended up getting scrapped almost 15 years later.
http://warship-girls.wikia.com/wiki/Vanguard
There's a ton of ships from that era still around as museum ships in the states (All four Iowas - Missouri is the youngest of the 4, the North Carolina, the Alabama, Massuchusetts, some Essex Carriers such as the Intrepid in the NYC, some Fletchers etc). Of course we scrapped the Enterprise, the ship that had the best track record in the war.

Thanks a bunch. I didn't know there were so many. I used ctrl+f to find which of the Warship Girls are on there. Some like Lexington showed up with ctrl+f but it turned out to not be the same ship. The ones that checked out were Belfast, Casin Young, Laffey, and Sullivans.
