KanColle (Video Game)	comment	What if the most famous warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy woke up one day to find out that: A, they'd been granted sentience, and B, they'd been placed in the bodies of Japanese girls? Well, KanColle intends to answer that question.Kantai Collection (艦隊これくしょん (Combined Fleet Girls Collection; lit. Fleet Collection), abbreviated as KanColle/KanKore for short) is a free-to-play browser Card Battle Game developed by Kadokawa Games and hosted at DMM. The original intention of this game was to have a joint product between the two companies as an experiment outside of DMM's natural habitat, but the really small investment in advertising led the game into complete obscurity by the time it was released in April 2013. The only other major reason the game was even made was because it was supposed to appeal to Imperial Japanese Navy Otaku, which is a really small fanbase.Then some personalities from the manga and anime industry took tentative notice of the game, partly due to the designs it used for its characters, and partly for the voice cast hired to voice these. Said personalities shared their experiences playing the game via social media like Twitter, which led to more people getting interested in the game... And the rest was history.Since release, it has experienced a massive surge in both exposure and popularity, with around 800,000 registered users as of September 2013 alone, a million users come October, and two million users as of May 2014. The massive growth of the fandom surrounding it has given rise to comparisons to the Touhou Project, particularly among Pixiv users.note Or Strike Witches, for Western ones.The gameplay is centered upon a card battle game, with individual characters represented by various cards with different attributes. Each of the characters are moe anthropomorphisms of World War II naval warships which are depicted as cute girls, known as "Fleet girls" (艦娘, kanmusu, literally "ship girl"). These personified warships are based on real-life vessels which are explained in detail within the game; the physical characteristics, appearances and personalities of each of the girls correlate in some way to the real-life vessel (for example, ships with a larger displacement tonnage are often depicted with larger breasts, with the notable exception of a few aircraft carriers...and oddly enough a few cruiser-and-below ships who get depicted with large breasts). The player takes on the role of an admiral (提督, teitoku), who can be either male or female, and organises their fleets in battle in order to win. Combat is largely automated, and manual actions by the player include micromanagement such as building, repairing, and equipping shipgirls.While the Kancolle does not have an official canon to tie all its plots together, the loose story revolves around monstrous alien ships called "Abyssals," which invade and take over Earth's oceans, destroying any ship or aircraft that attempts to traverse them. To defend against the Abyssals, "Ship girls" are created—essentially, fighting ships from World War II reincarnated as girls, who posses magical powers and more than enough firepower to take the fight back to the Abyssals themselves.An arcade spinoff by Sega's AM2 division underwent location tests in early 2015 and was released in 2016.Not surprisingly the series has spawned a large number of official print spinoffs◊, serialized in different magazines (Comic Clear, Comptiq, Dragon Magazine, Famitsu, Monthly Comic Alive among a few).

KanColle (Video Game) / int_10ac6e2a	comment	Acceptable Breaks from Canon: In the game proper, few of the ship girls demonstrate grudges or hangups over the Pacific War. Many fanfic writers give them such issues anyway, perhaps out of Rule of Drama. The game also provides no details about the Abyssal command structure, but some fanfic writers give them their own admirals. Averted for the anime; Kisaragi's sinking created such a backlash that her artist had to tweet that the anime wasn't canon to calm things down.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_1237828f	comment	Anyone Can Die: Prospective admirals beware, once a ship girl is sunk (when their HP is reduced to zero), they (and whatever's equipped on them) are not coming back, unless you happen to have a special item equipped on her beforehand (damage controls, or damecons; they can only be bought using real-world money!) to make an emergency repair on-location. Even then, it's a one-time deal, and if the same kanmusu gets critical damage again (such as if you advance to a new node after that battle), that's it for her (unless you have another damecon on her, of course, but most people only equip one on a ship at most).

KanColle (Video Game) / int_14184bc7	type	Fake Longevity
KanColle (Video Game) / int_14184bc7	comment	Fake Longevity: Many maps require you to drain a HP bar that is several times the length of the HP of the boss per se, meaning you need to run the map multiple times. The Improvement Arsenal may count for this, as the required material for the equipment modernization are only given through certain weekly or monthly quests. There is only one daily quest which gives you the material in question, and even then you need to modernize an equipment in the first place, making it more of a daily improvement subsidy than a method to restocking the material. Depending on your equipment improvement planning, your frugality on the material and RNG favour to actually succeed at the modernisation (or paying more materials to guarantee the modernisation), you might find yourself taking weeks or even months to improve a handful of guns. Certain shipgirls require blueprints for their remodeling, which can only be obtained by trading 4 Medals per blueprint, which in turn can only be obtained by either clearing Extra Operation maps or certain seasonal event maps. The former gives only one medal per map and may be cleared only once per month, whereas the latter are only available during seasonal holidays and not all the seasonal event maps have them. As of October 2015, the number of ship remodels that require a blueprint is 16 for 64 medals. Collecting medals from Extra Operations alone would take you at least a full year to gather that many blueprints at the earliest. As if the blueprints weren't enough after 6 maps has been made to award one medal each on monthly basis, some shipgirls requires additional items such as prototype flight decks, new gun mount models or aerial armaments or Action Reports, sometimes on top of blueprints, or worse, requires several of them at once on top of thousands of resources. That being said, shipgirls that does require any of these things tend to be a game changer in their own right, especially since certain shipgirls such as Musashi and Akagi gains a fifth slot in their second remodel. Starting from Fall 2015 Event, certain event maps have multiple phases and bosses, with earlier phases requiring the player to either deplete the TP bar or defeat one or more pre-bosses (starting from Spring 2017 Event) before the player could defeat the map boss. These multi-phase maps typically have their own bosses and their own route and branching rules. Furthermore, even unlocking the route to later pre-bosses may also require players to beat or S-rank certain nodes on the map that require specific rules to reach, such that one cannot reach all these nodes in a single run. All put together, players end up needing to do multiple naval operations to clear a single map.

Neither, for example, mince words with the fact that fleet girls can and have died, with Kagerou in particular mentioning off-hand that the number of fleet girls slaughtered before the events of the novel started numbered in the hundreds.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_16972b3c	type	Peninsula of Power Leveling
KanColle (Video Game) / int_16972b3c	comment	Peninsula of Power Leveling: Although World 3-2 has a reputation for being That One Level due to the requirements needed to even get to the boss node, it's also known as a prime leveling spot to level up ships, due to the same composition restrictions. After HTML5 rework, the pre-boss nodes have their EXP yield nerfed and World 5-3 took its place as the new leveling spot. World 5-4 also counts as this for ranking points and ship levels, as this map have a high base EXP and a favorable branching route that allows the players to reach the boss node easily, awarding a large amount of HQ EXP and rare ships as possible drops. With the advent of aircraft proficiency, the flagship aircraft carrier can now consistently score an MVP in this map with a full bomber loadout. As all submarine nodes in event maps don't consume ammo, they become this for destroyers and light cruisers, especially in combined fleet maps. Submarine nodes in normal maps do consume ammo, but done right, they can still play this straight. Air raid nodes take this up to eleven for submarines, since they'll take no damage whatsoever, and due to how air raid nodes work, this always results in a perfect S rank with an all sub fleet, with just 1 fuel and ammo used up per submarine per battle.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_17975d1b	comment	Unstable Equilibrium: Several of the strongest in-game equipment (such as Prototype 51cm Twin Gun Mount and Ginga) such as are rewarded exclusively as event rewards, ensuring that they could continue clearing events at higher difficulties as long as they keep playing the game and keep their resources stable, while players who can't get them will have difficulty clearing hard mode and thus continue to miss out. Ranking also counts as this despite the varying quality of the awarded equipment (ranging from Infinity +1 Sword to Junk Rare), as some of their ranking points are carried over throughout the year, making it much harder for new ranking entrants to score the top 500 required to receive the reward in the later months of the year.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_18683fc2	type	Power-Up Letdown
KanColle (Video Game) / int_18683fc2	comment	Power Up Letdown: Battleships or standard carriers could be considered as one as their upgrades, while considered an overall improvement since it raises their stats, experience letdown on other important aspects, most significantly increased fuel and ammo consumption for sorties and repairs. This is generally exacerbated during limited-time events, particularly those in which the boss health meter regenerates over time, forcing players to repair their high-powered fleets more frequently than usual. Some ships suffer a decrease in luck after their remodel. A number of players refuse to do the Quest that changes Iwai Flight from Model 52Cs to Model 62s for this reason. The Model 52C has air power on par with a Reppuu, plus a few additional benefits; the Model 62 has worse air power, not very good dive bomb stats either, and worst of all, because it counts as a bomber, it's now vulnerable to enemy Anti-Air Cut-In. With Akashi's Improvement Arsenal, it is possible to upgrade certain equipment into a better version. Thing is, for some of them, the bonuses from an unlevelled "upgraded" equipment are lower than a +10 version of the original. The initial reaction when Kinu Kai 2 was revealed to be unable to equip midget subs like Abukuma (instead getting higher AA capabilities and a built-in daihatsu) plays this straight. Some players still haven't gotten over it.

Another simple yet endearing artist who runs into limited facial ranges, causing most of his girls (i.e those not on the DesDiv6) to be forgotten. Until he did Gangut's art, he only did child-aged destroyers. His damaged art tends to be really conservative (a tasteful choice considering the "age" of most of his girls, barring Gangut of course).

KanColle (Video Game) / int_1a1ea492	type	Lord British Postulate
KanColle (Video Game) / int_1a1ea492	comment	Lord British Postulate: Since Summer 2015, some event maps have had "gimmicks", most of which are Damage-Increasing Debuff mechanics to weaken the boss node. The devs' intention for some of the gimmicks is simply to make the boss easier to clear, but for others the player is supposed to activate them to be able to kill the boss. However, a select few players have cleared the boss without activating them. For Summer 2015 E7 some of the seven players who cleared it before the devs officially announced the existence of the debuff gimmick did so without debuffing (the others discovered it on their own); Tanaka would later address these seven players as the "Big Seven"note a reference to the seven battleships allowed to carry 16 inch guns under the Washington Naval Treaty, two of which are Nagato and Mutsu in an interview. For Spring 2016 E6, a few players managed to clear E6 on hard despite a bug preventing the supposedly necessary debuff from working. However, none of those who made it past E6 could clear E7 on hard due to multiple Game Breaking Bugs affecting the land based support before the first round of bug fixing maintenances, although some did manage to clear on easy.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_1a8b9a47	comment	In actual naval battles, aircraft carriers are capable staying out of enemy surface ship's shelling range due to the enormous range of their aircraft. In KanColle the surface ships are able to close into the shelling range of aircraft carriers on both sides (apart from the initial airstrikes). This is definitely out of Rule of Fun, as it would be impossible to S-rank any nodes with enemy carriers if your own fleet doesn't have any. The later-introduced pure carrier-on-carrier nodes reflect naval aviation battles more accurately, as only the carriers' air wings engage (twice) and the surface combatants don't get to fire at all, effectively relegating the surface ships to air defense role.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_1b3b48f3	type	David Versus Goliath
KanColle (Video Game) / int_1b3b48f3	comment	David Versus Goliath: Invoked by mission 3-2, where the boss node can be only accessed by a fleet of destroyers, the smallest class of warship (whose high evasion values are offset by having the lowest damage, hit point, and armor values of all non-submarine unit) available to an admiral. They're expected to battle elite battleships and heavy cruisers. The fact that many destroyers (like Akatsuki, Inazuma, Ikazuchi, and Hibiki) are portrayed as middle-schoolers or younger just strengthens the impression, especially since the Abyssal Fleet ships they're going to battle look like adult women or saurian monsters. Slightly better after the July 17th 2015 update that allows a light cruiser flagship to be used. Invoked again on Map 6-3. Whereas Map 3-2 involves merely breaking through the enemy defense line comprised of elite battleship and heavy cruisers in order to get at the squishy light boss fleet behind, in Map 6-3 you have to actually subdue the boss fleet comprised of flagship-grade battleships and heavy cruisers. And Destroyer Princess. The last main operation of the Fall 2015 Event E-3 counts as well, as the transport escort fleet which are mainly comprised of drum-carrying destroyers with no more than three heavy cruisersnote It's possible to bring aviation battleships along, but said map pits you in a night battle against PT Imp Packs as a deterrent. were expected to drive off the Seaplane Tender Princess, which can easily wreck your squishy fleet to the point where it's impossible to outdamage the enemy fleet or kill the boss at higher difficulties due to the battleship escorts, so they have to kill two-thirds of the enemy fleet to reduce the transport gauge.

Sent too many ships to AL/MI, or just didn't have enough ships to spare for the last map? Chances are you won't be able to clear the last map. Last maps have been much more lenient since then, however; only Summer 2015 posed any problem if you locked all your important ships to E-5, which shouldn't even happen considering the ships you would need to clear up to E5 to begin with, unless you sank or scrapped all of them.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_1c0d4155	type	Necessary Drawback
KanColle (Video Game) / int_1c0d4155	comment	Necessary Drawback: The more powerful girls tend to use more resources than their weaker comrades, even within their own classes. All battleships can equip heavier main guns than what they historically carried, but take accuracy penalties proportional to the weight difference. The harshest penalty is given to the Kongou-class, meant to carry 35.6cm Twin Gun Mount, when equipped with Yamato's 46cm Triple Gun Mount. The 51cm Twin Cannon is the strongest weapon in the game, but its enormous firepower comes at the cost of reducing the evasion of the Battleship that carries it. And that's before mentioning that it's only equippable on a handful of battleships. The Italian 381mm/50 Triple Cannon. While it is not as heavy compared to the 46cm Triple Cannon and still grants the Battleship very long range that allows it to fire first, this comes at the cost of poor accuracy and reduced evasion. This was true of the real life weapon it's based on. The 16inch Triple Gun Mount Mark 7 has the opposite drawback to Italian's main guns in that regard, as its range was limited to plain Long in exchange for its high accuracy. Also, its upgraded version was simply the same gun with the GFCS strapped on, bringing its high accuracy up to eleven while retaining the same amount of impressive firepower... after a massive amount of improvement materials and rare equipment spent to upgrade it. Both Searchlight and Star Shell provide bonuses for night fighting. Searchlight always activates, but will make the enemies more likely to target the girl carrying it. In contrast, Star Shell doesn't make enemies more likely to target the user, but has a chance to not activate. Some of the more powerful ships, like the Yamato-class or the Hiyou-class, are classified as slow speed, which means they have disadvantageous routing. Seaplane Fighters provide additional fighter power and unlike seaplane bombers, are immune to enemy anti-air fire, meaning their ranks won't be degraded by such. In return for that, unlike Reconnaissance Seaplanes, they can't trigger the Artillery Spotting which allows the girls to trigger Double Attacks and Cut-Ins, which greatly affects your girls' damage. Of course, there's nothing stopping you from equipping one of each. For all the incredible perks of the jet-powered aircraft that puts them squarely into the Infinity+1 Aircraft, they have a fairly limited range and consumes a significant amount of steel per sortienote A single aircraft consumes ~2.6 steel per jet aircraft, multiplied by number of nodes reached in a sortie, A 34-slot jet aircraft on a 5 node sortie would consume (2.6 * 34 * 5 = 442 for its maintenancenote Both German and Japanese jet engine development during World War 2 was hampered by the scarcity of rare metals required to make superalloys that can reliably withstand the high temperature combustion and exhaust of the engine, causing them to have fleeting service life at about two-digit hours. Furthermore, apart from land-based airfields, they can only be equipped by the armored Shoukaku-classnote Taihou and Graf Zeppelin also have the plans to be equipped with catapults, though their second remodels were currently unimplemented, making the jet fighter equipped further down the slot order more prone of running out. And while they are difficult to shot down in air-to-air combat, the jet bomber's ability to attack twice makes them twice as vulnerable to enemy's anti-air, making them impractical to use on maps with enemy fleets that has powerful air defenses.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_1c3d047e	comment	The Rival: A lot. Just to note some examples (be it in fan depictions or official): Fusou and Yamashiro towards Ise and Hyuuga. This is due to the fact that the real life Ise and Hyuuga were created as an improvement on the design flaws of Fusou and Yamashiro. Ironically Fusou's seiyuu also voices a different Hyuuga, namely Arpeggio of Blue Steel's. Kirishima towards Haruna. This time it's due to the production rivalry/competition between Kawasaki Shipyards in Kobe (which built Haruna) and Mitsubishi Shipyards in Nagasaki (which built Kirishima), with the ships in question being built around the same time. However, Kirishima's production got delayed for a daynote On the contrary, Haruna's engine was actually found faulty during her engine test. As a result the construction ended up taking an extra 6 days to complete, and the person who was responsible in the production of the engine committed suicide in order to apologize for his mistakes., which caused Kirishima to look at her as a rival, despite them being both completed on the same day, effectively making them twins. Do note that the whole rivalry is actually one sided as Haruna does not actually think much of it. Kaga towards Shoukaku and Zuikaku. Kaga belonged to the First Carrier Division, while Shoukaku and Zuikaku belonged to the Fifth Carrier Division. Since both divisions couldn't get along well during the war due to complications (mainly because of how they thought soldiers from the Fifth Division Carrier were amateurs), their rivalry began. Some lines in the game justify Kaga's uneasiness towards the Shoukaku sisters.

Most commonly, the stats that will improve are firepower, torpedo, armor and Anti-Air; Maruyu is unique in that she can increase the Luck Stat while the Coastal Defense ships can improve HP (but only by a little), ASW and Luck Stat.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_1f39b662	type	Discard and Draw
KanColle (Video Game) / int_1f39b662	comment	Discard and Draw: The battleships that remodel into aviation battleships (Fusou and Ise-classes) suffer a loss in firepower in exchange for improvements in other stats, particularly the ability to carry more planes. (However, Fusou-class do get even higher firepower on their second remodel.) The Chitose-class seaplane carriers lose the ability to equip seaplanes as well as the ability they gain from their second remodel (equipping midget submarines for a pre-emptive torpedo strike) in their third remodel where they become light aircraft carriers, which gives them the ability to equip better planes. Taigei also undergoes a similar process when she becomes Ryuuhou, except that Taigei can't equip seaplane bombers or midget subs, and she becomes one of the worst CVLs (only Houshou loses to her), instead of one of the best like the Chitose-class do. Reversible remodels in general lose something and gain something else when you convert them between forms. Maya, Abukuma and Kinu also lose firepower at Kai 2, but gain a lot more in return.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: It's implied that despite the ships being based on World War 2, the setting they're in are actually close to the present day Real Life, as shown below. Historically, some ships had sunk by the time some newer ships were launched. Here, everyone can stand together and meet each other. Many found it awkward when Imuya mentioned smartphones. Musashi has actually shown hints of being technologically savvy, and is depicted as being able to catch onto the present popularity as well. But considering what has been mentioned above, it'll take a while until DMM & Kadokawa settle down with a proper period. There's also Yuubari mentioning recording shows that air at midnight. See example for the Otaku entry down below. The Christmas events could also count. Although the holiday had already been introduced to Japan, all celebrations were suppressed during the War. It’s especially hypocritical considering what many of the original ships were involved in during the 1941 season. It can be argued that the special event/holiday CGs aren't really meant to reflect history. The whole issue with smartphone things goes further with the launch of KanColle for Android, where Shiratsuyu got a celebratory art with smartphone and headphone.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: Aircraft carriers and battleships in general for players with limited resources, especially new players. They're much more powerful and tougher than anything lighter and they add options such as recon, air superiority and a second shelling phase that can make a big difference in combat. However, their expensive maintenance costs can really put a dent on an admiral's resources, and incur significant repair times whenever they're damaged. Superbattleships Yamato and Musashi take this to extremes, as they use as much as three times the resources to refuel and re-arm, and take twice as long to repair even when compared to Nagato, who is herself already a massive resource sink. To a lesser extent, Iowa took twice as much resources as Kongou-class battleships to refuel and re-arm. The Tokyo Express expeditions (37 and 38) have a very high resource-to-time ratio, but require you to send out high-leveled destroyers (A Lv50-65 as flagship, plus some more to hit the fleet total level requirements) carrying many (4-8) drum cans, so this puts them out of reach of starter admirals. Becomes Awesome and Practical for more experienced ones that have so many appropriately leveled destroyers that they can randomly toss some into a fleet and still hit the requirement. Combined Fleet sorties certainly sound cool in theory, considering that you can sortie 12 ship girls at once for more shelling and firepower. However, sortieing that many ship girls at once is bound to cost a much larger amount of resources, as well as taking away one of the fleets that could've been sent out to expeditions for extra resources (in fact, if you send both support fleets, which is virtually a must for the harder event maps, that would leave you with no expeditions to gain resources from). And that's before mentioning that pretty much every map that requires the Combined Fleet tend to have powerful enemies, and your fleet's accuracy are significantly nerfed. 46cm Triple Cannons. The biggest ever gun in real life, this gun boasts the highest firepower out of all other guns. However, not only are they much harder to upgrade compared to other main gunsnote Upgrading this gun requires a spare 46cm gun to be used as a modernization material, which can only be obtained as a rare result of crafting after pouring around 300 ammo, or from similarly rare outcome of LSC as Yamato-class's stock equipment, stacking them on battleships not designed for them (read: anyone but Yamato-class) causes an accuracy penalty which admittedly isn't that obvious in single-fleet sorties, but very significant in Combined Fleet where accuracy is nerfed further; it will be very difficult for your battleships to hit much of anything at all. For some reason, the 51cm Prototype Twin Cannon doesn't suffer the same accuracy penalty, although only Nagato-class Kai and Yamato-class can equip it, and it requires even more spare 46cm guns to improve as well. The first two jet aircraft introduced. They get to attack in an earlier jet assault phase as well, but that just means they get exposed to enemy Anti-Air twice, making them easier to get shot down. And the damage they do isn't even that much; they deal normal damage in the jet assault phase but reduced damage in the aerial phase. On top of that, they consume steel on a per unit, per battle basis (due to historically having lower service life). As a result, general consensus among the players is that they're not worth using. Hopefully it's just because they're fighter-bombers.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_2ea22847	comment	Elaborating on this three-front war: Operation AL's first map was fairly easy regardless of the difficulty level. However, E-2, the last map of AL, which the devs even described as 'beginner-friendly' prior to the event, is generally regarded as one of the hardest map of the entire event, especially if your HQ Level was above 60. One of the main difficulties of AL was that the branching rules pretty much forced you to use light/medium ships only. While it was possible to use heavy fleets, you then had to face either more battle nodes or the stronger enemies. Or both. And that's before mentioning that you couldn't use those ships in later event maps. Operation MI, while a whole lot easier than AL thanks to being able to use all the heavy ships at your disposal and bring 12 ships instead of the regular six, turned into a nightmare for your resources because of the very same reasons. One fleet full of heavy ships can already be quite costly, but two fleets deployed at the same time meant an even higher resource consumption. Bauxite supplies usually suffered the most, since almost all enemy fleets contained lots of aircraft carriers with very strong planes. Those that didn't were either submarine nodes or night battle nodes, which didn't make things easier. Also, ships like Akitsu Maru, who were previously deemed useless except for their equipment, actually made things easier. The last map (E-6) however, was a nightmare. First of all, you cannot send the Combined Fleet to the aforementioned map, leaving only your regular fleet of six ships that has yet to be sortied to any of the previous event maps. The first battle node pitted flagship-type carriers and battleship (among other things) against you, and it got progressively worse from there. The "safest" route was over a submarine node and pre-boss node that contained the final boss of the previous map as a regular enemy but still at full strength. To secure this route you had to use two light aircraft carriers, who due to their weak armour got wrecked easily. The alternative was reaching the boss via night battle nodes, where even mere destroyers could wreck your battleships easily. Speaking of the boss node, in order to even reach it your fleet was required to have a very high LOS rating. If you failed to meet that requirement you were sent to a dead end. And even if you managed to reach it, you found out that the final boss was none other than the Battleship Princess, the most hated enemy in the entire game due to her ridiculously high stats and ability to critically damage even your best ships in one shot. Beating this map required you to deal damage to her that amounted to a total of ten times her health bar (thankfully chip damage was allowed). And if the boss gauge had been depleted enough that you needed only one more kill to break it? If your HQ Level was below 100 it was random, but above 100 it was guaranteed that the game pitted two Battleship Princesses against you.

Aircraft carriers can use their planes to torpedo and divebomb the enemy ships and possibly inflict major damage prior to the shelling phase under favorable aerial conditions. Enhanced by the Aircraft Proficiency System introduced in Summer 2015 that makes them capable of gaining post-cap damage bonus with veteran planes, further increasing their firepower to overwhelming proportions. However, they cannot attack at all once they are moderately damagednote except for armored aircraft carriers like Taihou, which can launch planes up until it sustains heavy damage as their flight decks get ruined. Every other class can still attack at moderate or heavy damage. Not very well, granted, but even some Scratch Damage might well bump the enemy into a worse stage of damage or outright make the difference between survival and a successful sinking.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_30bf3ff4	comment	2015 Summer E-7 ups the ante with its difficulty rated at 15 stars (appropriately titled "Operation FS"). Unlike the previous final event maps that pit you against an uber-powerful enemy battleship fleet, you're fighting to subdue a heavily guarded destroyer that has nigh-impenetrable armor, requiring several relentless assaults on the installations throughout the map to weaken her armour for about a day. Sounds simple in theory once it was figured out, but the map itself has random routing and the pre-boss nodes are very powerful even at the lowest difficulty, making it very difficult just to get to the boss and damage it. In fact, it's not improbable for you to complete this task after many attempts.........only to find out you don't have enough resources left for an assault on the boss herself, and won't be able to get enough until after the daily reset, by which time her armor goes back to its original value. Post-event statistics show that of the about 70% of players who took part in the event, only 45% of them actually managed to beat the map at all!

Having neither usually results in having a two+ hour repair time and/or not being able to perform more sorties. Hence the reason images like this are really popular, because of the level of maintenence required to handle it.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_317629db	comment	Embarrassing Nickname: Yamato is nicknamed "Hotel Yamato" or simply "Hotel", which embarrasses her from time to time. The reason once again came from the fact that Yamato had a real history of being treated as one - when she was secretly built by the Imperial Japanese Navy, they had the mindset of "Aircraft Carriers are the best, Battleships are just a bonus/an alternative". That, and her status as a flagship along with her high consumption, causes Yamato to spend most of her time at the bridge until 1944 (Battle of Leyte Gulf), leading her to be nicknamed "Hotel Yamato". Historically, the term is also taken from a real Yamato Hotel which was located at Manchuria (presently Dalian, China). Interestingly, although it was considered a luxury to ever spend a night in the ship's bridge, the purpose of Yamato stayed true to the core. Still, she was quite unfortunate, participating mostly in escort missions instead of offensive operations. The whole Yamato being treated as a hotel is played with in the official 4-koma manga, like how she was equipped to manufacture ice cream and was fully air-conditioned (both of which were true of the real battleship; back then, air conditioning was still getting phased in to the general public, but was considered a luxury). The little destroyer girls loved hugging her as a result. Interestingly, Iowa thought the "hotel" was a flattering nickname to Yamato. They reconciled fairly quickly in her hourly lines, however.

He's a very firm believer in buxomness, with most of his designs being noted for curves (more so after his Art Evolution, which produced a Fanservice Pack effect on his older designs like Isuzu). This tendency does have a couple of exceptions: Ryuujou (the flattest carrier of any type, to the point of Memetic Mutation), Nagara, and Maruyu (a really small submarine).

KanColle (Video Game) / int_31eeddc8	type	Level Scaling
KanColle (Video Game) / int_31eeddc8	comment	Level Scaling: In effect for the seasonal event maps from the December 2013 Arpeggio Collaboration event onward, as well as so-called "Special Operations" maps. Lower-leveled Admirals faced equivalently low-level mobs, but at specific level "checkpoints" elite, then flagship-class ships start to appear. Going beyond a certain level threshold often meant the difference between a map simply being challenging, to mind-blowingly difficult, as evidenced during the Arpeggio event (where low-leveled admirals didn't even encounter named Fog ships) and the Spring 2014 event (where going past admiral level 80 spawned a Battleship Princess, on top of the already difficult-to-defeat boss present). Replaced by choosable Difficulty Levels starting from Winter 2015, though it isn't completely gone; even for the same difficulty level, the map gauge will be slightly shorter at lower levels, and in general, Line of Sight requirements are harsher for higher level players.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_3202932e	comment	If regular sorties, equipment crafting and/or ship constructions didn't do your resources in, then there is the Large Ship Construction, which is unlocked by collecting all the Sendai-class light cruisers (which also unlocks the 3rd fleet for an additional fleet for expeditions). Basically a ship construction scaled up to consume resources in the scale of thousandsnote In comparison, you only regenerate 1440 fuel, ammo, and steel each, plus 480 bauxites per 24 hours before the resource soft cap is reached, it takes at least 2000 steel just for the default recipe. To top it off, some of the ships such as Bismarck and ''Yamato''-class superbattleships can only obtained as rare construction results from LSC with a much larger investment of resources, which means getting the LSC exclusive ships entails wasting thousands of resources per attempt in a raffle with them as the reward. It's not uncommon for some admirals to spend 6 digits worth of resources in dozens of construction attempts and not get any of them.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_33ca811a	comment	In the first event with Land-Based Air Support (Spring 2016), the combat radius of LBAS was calculated based on the maximum range of the longest-ranged plane, meaning that you could have one long-ranged plane and tack a bunch of stronger but shorter-ranged planes on to the squadron. Subsequently, LBAS combat radius was changed so it went with the shortest range of the squadron's planes. Then again, considering how many Game Breaking Bugs the event had, it was just as likely that the devs just didn't bother to fix it until the next event, which ended up being the first ever event with no new mechanics introduced (apart from the airbases being actual locations indicated in the map).

Her curry makes the Admiral run around avoiding her for 2 hours. You're free to imagine what happened to the Admiral during that time. According to the drama CD that comes with the limited edition volume of "Side: Kongou", it is somehow established that neither Hiei nor Kongou's cooking is actually lethal (thus making it somehow averted) but rather a result of focusing too much on "unique flavors"note Japanese are known for their inability to eat spicy food, so serving South East Asian style curry is going to make them scream murder. As a result, the admiral ended up traumatized by it. With the introduction of Isokaze, we have yet another lethal chef, whose food makes the Admiral have a stomachache after breakfast and run away at the mention of lunch and dinner.

Also in the dub, this isn't the first nor the second time that Brittney Karbowski has voiced a Hot-Blooded ninja. Upon Jervis' introduction in the Winter 2018 event, her dialogue lines has her referring to the Admiral on ocassion as "Darling".

KanColle (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	type	Boring, but Practical
KanColle (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: Back in Phase 1, Orel cruising at 2-3 with submarines to farm fuel is extremely boring, but if done right you can gain fuel much faster than any expedition can provide you, and many daily and weekly quests can also be done on the side. Also back in Phase 1, grinding at 3-2, node A gets tedious very fast both for the admiral and the In-Universe morale of the girls, but as long as you have a submarine in your lineup, the mooks present will target nothing else. You will have almost no risk as long as you make sure to damage the mooks to medium damage at least so they can't use closing torpedo salvo. The EXP provided is also pretty decent. Double Attacks are less powerful than Cut-Ins, but they trigger far more often, especially for girls low in Luck. Expeditions 2, 5 and 6 are unlocked early in any admiral's career and have low level and composition requirements, yet provide a decent intake of ammo, fuel and bauxite respectively as long as one can check the game frequently. Ranking at 5-4. Sortieing to that map multiple times a day is part of the standard repertoire for people who want any ranking rewards, and the map also gives excellent EXP. As of Phase 2, bringing a fleet with at least three carriers (both light and standard apply) to 2-2 will always direct you to a node with two Wa-class transports. There's absolutely no excitement to be found here, but the weak enemy fleet present, helped by the carriers' Alpha Strike sinking at least one right off the bat, means it's a very safe way to accumulate transport kills for quests. Phase 2 replaces Orel with 1-3 for fuel farming. A fleet comprised of a seaplane carrier or Kamoi, at most one submarine and all destroyers for the rest will be routed such as to collect fuel after one easy battle, and the more Drum Canisters or Daihatsu equipped the better.

Before the pre-boss, you are guaranteed to encounter at least one Abyssal Princess as sub-boss, with the paths with a night battle being the easier paths. The pre-boss node has a guaranteed Aircraft Carrier Princess. Furthermore, the boss, the aforementioned Battleship Water Demon, gains an Aircraft Carrier Princess as an escort for its final form on Medium and Hard difficulty. Surprisingly, it wasn't that hard to clear (in fact 2015 Spring was considered one of the easiest events in the history of the game), but resource drain for combined fleet was massive, especially if you intend to farm Roma or U-511.

The admiral can sometimes decide what path his fleet can go... For example, taking a shorter, yet harder route or a longer route where the enemy fleets present are a bit easier to deal with, at the cost of making said fleet less combat effective by the time they reach the boss node. In E-6, choosing a harder path gave the player more chances to obtain ships like Roma and U-511, assuming that his fleet can win the encounters.

A variant of the Zuiun seaplane, operated by the 634th Naval Air Group, offers improved anti-ship and anti-submarine stats compared to its standard version. The model 12 improved version also has a 634th Naval Air Group variant, which has been only available as a ranking reward so far. The 931st Air Group, which have so far been restricted to being ranking rewards and Ryuuhou Kai stock equipment, have higher anti-submarine stats than their vanilla counterparts. The Suisei operated by Egusa Takashige, also known as the "God of Dive Bombers". The Tenzan Model 12 operated by Tomonaga's squadron, whose stats even surpass the Ryuusei Torpedo Bomber. Topping even the Tomonaga-spec Tenzan is the Tenzan Model 12 operated by Murata's squadron, the air group that has formerly been assigned to Akagi before being reassigned to Shoukaku after the Battle of Midway. For the fighter planes, there's the Reppuu piloted by the 601st Naval Air Group, which were assigned to Unryuu and Amagi. Which was surpassed by the Iwamoto's squadron on a Zero (albeit an improved one), led by none other than legendary ace fighter pilot Tetsuzo Iwamoto. After years of being being overshadowed by Iwamoto's squadron, the 1st Carrier Division finally one-ups them with a Reppuu Kai Ni piloted by skilled fairies from their division, though they aren't available yet. The December ranking update introduced a General Motors variant of the Grumman F4F Wildcat, the FM-2, with the markings of Composite Squadron 10 (VC-10). This squadron was operated off the Casablanca-class escort carrier USS Gambier Bay. For land-based planes comes the Hayabusa Model II under Captain Tateo Katou. The Extra Operation of the Spring 2021 event rewards a total of 3 planes from the famous Tainan Air Group, which houses aces such as Saburo Sakai. Since 2018, Shiden Kais with fighter groups from the 343rd Naval Air Group, led by the legendary Minoru Genda in the late years of the war, has been added to the game. As of now, there are 3 fighter groups added to the game. The 301st Fighter Squadron, led by squadron commander Naoshi Kanno was added in the Winter 2018 event. The 701st Fighter Squadron, led by squadron commander Takashi Oshibuchi was added in the Spring 2022 event.

However, not only are they much harder to upgrade compared to other main gunsnote Upgrading this gun requires a spare 46cm gun to be used as a modernization material, which can only be obtained as a rare result of crafting after pouring around 300 ammo, or from similarly rare outcome of LSC as Yamato-class's stock equipment, stacking them on battleships not designed for them (read: anyone but Yamato-class) causes an accuracy penalty which admittedly isn't that obvious in single-fleet sorties, but very significant in Combined Fleet where accuracy is nerfed further; it will be very difficult for your battleships to hit much of anything at all. For some reason, the 51cm Prototype Twin Cannon doesn't suffer the same accuracy penalty, although only Nagato-class Kai and Yamato-class can equip it, and it requires even more spare 46cm guns to improve as well.

One such node was the E4 boss node. Naturally, it has not made a reappearance since. During events, some rare ships drop more often from A ranks than from S ranks. In particular, during the Autumn 2016 event, Pola only dropped from A rank at the E5 boss node. While this doesn't happen often, if you're aiming to farm for such ships in particular it's important to take note. In general, if you're farming a boss node on a lower difficulty but intend to clear it on a higher difficulty later on, make sure not to accidentally sink the boss when the map HP gauge is within reach of being cleared. If possible, farm the ships with A ranks. If you accidentally sink the boss, refresh as a last resort. Players used to reset the gauge as often as possible to avoid this, but starting from Autumn 2016 E5, due to needing to deal with multiple gimmicks just to access the boss node, this is no longer as feasible. Spring 2017's E5 branching rules changed on clearing the map such that you were fixed to a more difficult route to get to the second boss node, the only place in the event where you can farm Littorio and Roma. As a result, players often left the boss alive, instead settling for A ranks while farming for them before clearing the map, since the farming spot would no longer be as convenient on clearing the map. Other players instead chose to farm on lower difficulties, which as above is another example.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_535ec99d	comment	Non-Entity General: The admiral/teitoku commanding the fleet of kanmusu, basically acting as the player's self-insert. This obviously results in (male) admirals having wildly different portrayals in fanwork, though it also makes a large segment of Pixiv artists simply replace the admiral's face with a 'T' (sometimes known as "T-toku"), much like how the Producer in Petit iDOLM@STER has a 'P' for a head. (Most) female admirals somehow avoid the T-head, but still end up looking suspiciously familiar anyway... It must be noted however that Murakumo calls the Admiral a "little boy" (小さな男) in one of her hourly lines. Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Either Admiral (提督, teitoku) or Commander (司令(官), shirei(kan)). The admiral in Bonds of the Wings of Cranes plays with this, as barring the fact that he's a blatant pervert, Zuikaku had trouble not only placing his ethnicity, but any distinguishing features (like scars and whatnot), which meant that if he wasn't such a perv, it would be easy to miss him in a crowd. In the 4-koma the admiral is shown, but his head is never seen and he never had any lines (but the girls talking to him act as if he said something).

KanColle (Video Game) / int_5405b144	comment	Scratch Damage: If damage dealt is calculated to below 1, a special formula for scratch damage is used instead. This gives a damage value of roughly 10% of the target's current Hit Points. If this value falls below 1, the attack is treated as a miss. This means you can deal a decent amount of damage to high-health targets, but cannot sink a target with scratch damage alone.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_549cd62d	comment	Level Grinding: At some point Admirals will have to resort to this, as certain stages require a minimum level to survive the normal nodes on it, nevermind the boss nodes that need to be cleared to unlock the stages that come after. And even then, due to the RNG-based mechanic it's not even a sure thing, since it's equally possible for a fleet averaging in the 90s to get stuck at a node as it is a fleet of levels 30s to squeak past it. Levels don't matter!note It's mattered a bit more for opening anti-submarine attacks and for reinforcement expansion requirements, but otherwise the meme still holds.

It's Anti-Air equipment, but the stat bonus it gives is exceeded by even some non-dedicated gear, and there are better items to get +1 evasion from. This meant it was good only for the scrapyard. With the March 19th 2016 update, however, it becomes a necessary ingredient in upgrading Daihatsu Landing Craft to Daihatsu Landing Craft (Type 89 Medium Tank & Landing Force). Chances are any ship with mediocre stats can fall under this, if event branching rules favour them, like for Kamikaze- and Mutsuki-class for winter 2017 E2.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_5a22609e	type	Creator Thumbprint
KanColle (Video Game) / int_5a22609e	comment	Creator Thumbprint: Several artists use recurrent design elements for their characters, even if they are otherwise very different from one another. Shizuma Yoshinori (Nagato, Yamato, the Akizukis, Shimakaze, Yukikaze, Iowa, Saratoga, Atlanta...): Almost every shipgirl drawn by him wears distinctive "Rudder Stiletto" high-heel shoes. Other main traits are being eye-catching/fanservice (and sometimes garish) and later on, the designs working in traits of the actual ships (like the bows being the Akizuki class' stomach protection), with Iowa combining the two. The only one with a significantly different shoe design is Akitsushima and they are rudder wedges rather than the usual stilettos. He also has a thing about sentient turrets, demonstrated with the Rensouhous and the Long 10cm-chan. Coincidentally, all but four of his ship girls feature exceptional stats. note The Yamato-class need little introduction. The Nagato-class were the strongest battleships available before the Yamato-class appeared and Power Creep kicked in. Shimakaze has above-average stats on par with destroyers who have second remodels; Yukikaze has ridiculously high luck apart from having similar maximum stats as the former; Amatsukaze has excellent durability and evasion; and the Akizuki-class have tremendous Anti-Air. Iowa is only second to Yamato-class in firepower and armor, while having superlative LOS and AA...as a Fast Battleship. Finally, Saratoga has peerless durability and AA amongst Fleet Carriers along with a decent offense and plane count. As for the Type AM twins, they feature decent durability and a third gear slot, meaning that they can compensate for their average combat stats. Only Tokitsukaze features generic Kagerou-class stats while Akitsushima compensates for her poor stats with her unique gear (A sentient Flying Boat). He's also the one that starts the meme "the second ships (in a class) have sexy bodies", and this shows in Teruzuki, Mutsu, Musashi and Saratoga. His art while consistent has improved in a few spots, including curve range, making fans look forward to Second Remodel work for his Japanese BBs. With Musashi's second remodel, it hints at him seeking to fix a period of KC art he considers an Old Shame. Ayaki (Tenryuu, Murakumo, Nenohi...): Every ship girl drawn by this artist wear some form of Floating Headgear. Additionally, all but one of them wear bladed anklets in their unremodelled form. They also tend to take on rather dynamic poses and rather eye catching outfits. His Kai Ni out tends to drastically chance the girls' outfits; Murakumo being the most noticeable with Tatsuta in second. Akira (Mizuho, French ships, Kamoi, Gambier Bay): While mainly an Abyssal artist (having done many of the bosses), he has done a few shipgirls with some eyecatching bits (like the hair of the French ships or Kamoi's Ainu outfit), though he's infamous for how lazy he is (his seasonal art for Mizuho only changes what she's holding for one example). His drawn lines are lighter than most, which is a sure way to tell he did that shipgirl. Shibafu (Fubuki-class, Kitakami, Mogami, Ise-class, Akagi, Intrepid and several others...): Perhaps THE founding artist of the game. Unfortunately, the shipgirls drawn by him only feature the same few faces or so as well as relatively Boring, but Practical designs. He compensates this with consistent art as well as the tendency for some of his shipgirls to be obsessed with being fitted planes, even discounting his Aircraft Carriers. In spite of his limited style, some of his characters are quite popular and a few being effective yet gotten early; it's charming in its simplicity (in a So Bad, It's Good way). He tends to favor smaller and more slender figure for her girls, with the exception of the 5 standard carriers he draws (and Ooi). Though he has been plagued with some foul ups of recent cgs (Mikuma summer '16 and Intrepid come to mind), escalating his critics. Zeco (Fletcher class, South Dakota, Houston...): His girls tend towards large rigging structures and rounded faces with large eyes. He also tends to draw girls wearing greaves, with five of his first six ships having armored leggings. Kuuro Kuro (Nagara-class, Ryuujou, Hiyou, Akitsu Maru etc.): His shipgirls are usually Shinto-themed. His Nagara-class feature Shide and all but two of his Aircraft Carriers are Onmyouji. Only his IJA and Submarine shipgirls are removed from this theme. Akitsu Maru Kai ends up being a Buddhist-styled Onmyouji and both Maruyu and I-26 are as removed from the theme as it is possible. A notable feature shared his non-Onmyouji shipgirls is their ship bow anklets (the Onmyouji shipgirls wear platforms instead, even Akitsu Maru Kai has them appended to her sneakers). He's a very firm believer in buxomness, with most of his designs being noted for curves (more so after his Art Evolution, which produced a Fanservice Pack effect on his older designs like Isuzu). This tendency does have a couple of exceptions: Ryuujou (the flattest carrier of any type, to the point of Memetic Mutation), Nagara, and Maruyu (a really small submarine). Bob: His shipgirls are Colour-Coded for Your Convenience as he usually draws whole classes. The Tone-class (2 girls) are Green, the Sendai-class (3 girls) are Orange and the Myoukou-class (4 girls) are Purple. Shouhou is his only shipgirl who is "alone". Zuihou, part of the same class, is drawn by another artist (Konishi). He sometimes gives his girls really reactive "damaged art". Konishi (Kongou class, Shoukaku, Suzuya, British shipgirls and etc): A generally consistent artist, he's mainly known for dynamic poses and the Iconic Outfit of the Kongou class. In many ways he's conservative as his shipgirls wear traditional outfits or school uniforms and his designs never get particularly curvy (such as Kuuro Kuro or Shibafu) with Nelson being the furthest he goes. His destroyers tend to be more teenage in age and figure, and those that aren't end up so with their second remodels. As of late, he's started to run into issues with highly similar faces. It may be a result of how many shipgirls he's made getting second remodels, being one of the more prolific artists in the game. Kujou Ichiso: While his shipgirl output consists primarly of the Shiratsuyu-class, they are primarly known for getting ear-like flaps to their hair upon their second remodels (See Shigure, Murasame, Yuudachi and Kawakaze)note they also appear on Taigei/Ryuuhou, 3 of them also have their eyes changing color. Both Yuudachi Kai 2 and Harusame Kai have similar hairclips. Furthermore, practically all of them share the same basic face at three-quarters with prominent cheeks. More recent designs and second remodels are noted for being more eye-catching to borderline excessive extents (Some parts of Murasame's second remodel are more show than function). Yadokari: Best known for doing various destroyers, chiefly the 4 DesDiv6 ships as well as the Soviet/Russian shipgirls. Another simple yet endearing artist who runs into limited facial ranges, causing most of his girls (i.e those not on the DesDiv6) to be forgotten. Until he did Gangut's art, he only did child-aged destroyers. His damaged art tends to be really conservative (a tasteful choice considering the "age" of most of his girls, barring Gangut of course). Syobonne: The main sub artist, fond of schoolswimuits and rather vivid hair colors. Though most remember I-19 and - a bit less so - I-8 for both their stats, being rather curvy for their frames (the artist's curviest characters), and in I-19's case how suggestive her torpedo handling is. Fujikawa (Yuugumo-class and various others): Another prolific artist who also made the art for the equipment fairies and Error Girl. Her art tend to be consistent, and can even blend in to arts of other artists as in Yamagumo, Asagumo & Kinugasa (except for Akigumo, though there's a good reason for this). Also makes a lot of seasonal arts, particularly for the two NPC shipgirls Ooyodo & Akashi. Parsley (Katori, Kashima, Kamikaze-class, Hamakaze, Colorado etc): An artist that becomes more prolific with time. He generally favors teen or older designs, with a decent amount of curves usually, though with the Kamikaze class, he has them a bit younger, but even many of those have a bit of noticeable curves. He has no real outfit tendency beyond something original if he could help it. Lesser known are Maya and Choukai being some of his first designs (their Kai Nis show how far he's come) Ugume (Kiso, Kuma, etc): A long running artist that tends to prefer normal school uniforms, and asymmetrical rigging. Since his early days he's radically improved, creating a mild Fanservice Pack effect as well as improved Rigging. His escort ships (D Es), however, are rather modest in both clothes and rigging design.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_5deb34da	comment	Ace Pilot: The "skilled" version of the low-tier planes in game, which possess even better stats than some of the high-tier planes. By the start of the Summer 2015 Event, admirals can now invoke this by "training" their planes which can now gain experience and ranks for every battle they participate. This is very useful as ranked planes gain bonus stats which can make a difference during battles. However, be wary as those plane ranks can actually degrade when said planes are shot down in large numbers. If the plane slot it occupies is emptied in battle, the plane will be completely stripped of its ranks (although planes used in aerial support won't lose ranks this way). This is very much based on Real Life, as both Kaigun and USN aviators gained experience during the battle. By the end of the Battle of Midway, the Kaigun's veteran pilots were greatly reduced in numbers to the point that this is actually one of the reasons they lost their carrier-based battles.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_68148dc	comment	Militaries Are Useless: It's not clearly stated in the game at least, but many fans hold it as an article of faith that shipgirls are needed to fight the Abyssals because conventional forces have failed in their attempts to do so. Reasons range from perfectly mundane ones like normal antiship sensors and weapons having difficulty detecting and hitting human-sized targets to more magical ones like Abyssals being spirit beings that No-Sell conventional weapons and can only be hurt by ship girls' own spiritual abilities. Played with in that the ship girls are derived from older military ships and are organized in a military group (albeit not much of one).

KanColle (Video Game) / int_69065de	type	Naval Blockade
KanColle (Video Game) / int_69065de	comment	Naval Blockade: From Summer 2015 Event onward, the player's fleet can intercept certain areas in the map to debilitate (weaken) the boss for the duration of a day at certain event maps by fulfilling specific conditions, ranging from decimating enemy fleets or flagships at specific nodes to killing specific number of enemies. This is especially important as some of the enemy bosses (such as Summer 2015 Event) have ridiculously high armor or HP that makes them nigh-unsinkable otherwise. Seasonal events on 2016 revised the mechanic by removing the daily resets that plagued the last year's debilitation effort, as well as introducing two potential conditions related to air defensesnote One is getting an S-rank from long-distance air raid nodes by having all ships in your fleet undamaged from their attack, and the other is scoring air supremacy and have all your land-bases undamaged from the enemy air raid. Events from Summer 2016 onward rings the quest completion sound when all the conditions has been met, while Fall 2016 Event introduces a secondary starting point that has to be unlocked before the player's fleet can reach the boss node. It's not until Winter 2017 Event that the conditions are explicitly stated in a quest, and even then, there might be additional conditions that gives separate debuffs that is not divulged by the quest.

Even for Japanese players who don't have to deal with the overseas access issue or language barrier, there are plenty of things like branching rules, expedition requirements, recipes and especially the game mechanics that are hard to figure out without a guide. It's even worse in time-limited event maps, especially after the introduction of ship locking caused the ships to be locked to the map they're sortied to. Furthermore, some of the event maps have boss debilitation mechanism that requires substantial amounts of Trial-and-Error Gameplay to figure out.

In many ways he's conservative as his shipgirls wear traditional outfits or school uniforms and his designs never get particularly curvy (such as Kuuro Kuro or Shibafu) with Nelson being the furthest he goes. His destroyers tend to be more teenage in age and figure, and those that aren't end up so with their second remodels. As of late, he's started to run into issues with highly similar faces. It may be a result of how many shipgirls he's made getting second remodels, being one of the more prolific artists in the game.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_6f619fab	comment	Lets Split Up The Navy: Starting with Summer 2014 Event, seasonal events may feature fleet locking that prevents them from being sortied out to other event maps. While this is not applicable for Easy difficultynote which still locks the ships to the map, but still permits shipgirls that has already been locked at other event maps, players who wants better rewards and challenge would have to choose their fleets carefully as the fleet locking are applied throughout the event and cannot be freed up for other event maps. It's much worse in Operation AL/MI in Summer 2014, as this event was held before the Difficulty Levels were introduced, and it required as much as four to six full fleetsnote as the ship locking mechanism also prevents them from being sortied in support expeditions. The Summer Event for 2015 that is the Second SN Operation, held in the following year after AL/MI, takes this to new heights, as this event has seven maps and four fronts, two of which (four maps in total) require the Combined Fleet, with unprecedented number event map drop exclusive ships on top of an operation to stage continuous assaults in the final event map. The ship-locking ante is upped even further two years later in Summer Event, as the event has five fronts, with three fronts having maps with dual-phasesnote referring to maps that has either two bosses or a TP phase before the boss can be reached and requires Combined Fleet. Played with in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, as the operation itself is split into two Seasonal Events (Fall 2017 and Winter 2018note The Seasonal events are typically held in the last month of the season, with the Winter spilled over to next year's February). The ship locking is not carried over, though you could potentially lock out Nishimura Fleet out of their proper route if you neglected to sortie them in Striking Force Fleet.

In addition, the ship you wish to marry must be level 99. Benefits include slightly increased stats (including HP), reduced fuel/ammo consumption by 15%, and the ship instantly becoming level 100 with a new level cap of 150. Love Confession: The marriage system is chock full of these lines. Some have the ships "confess" to you, some accept your "confession", and others reject you. Still others have lines which have nothing to do with confessions. Marry Them All: You can marry more than one ship, so this is possible if you wish to do so, but you will have to buy the cash item from the cash shop, each costing 700 yen or around 7 USD. As only one can be obtained free of charge, it means doing a literal Marry Them All (151 girls as of 10 April 2014) will cost more than a whole grand (105000 yen, to be exact; the first ring is free after all).

KanColle (Video Game) / int_869ffa6b	comment	Random Number God: Oh god RNG really is everything in this game. Even if you manage to find some construction or development recipes that lead you to what you want, be very careful not to get too worked up. You will regret it. Random Drop: It's been theorised that when you get the first of a ship, you become more likely to get her wherever it's possible to get her (be it from construction or from sorties). This would explain why the "Last Sister Syndrome" (you have every ship of a certain class... except one, which you just can't get) is so prevalent: getting every other sister ship increases the chances of getting them instead of the ship you want.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_87629455	comment	No Communities Were Harmed: Played straight during the first few months of the game's life, when the developers went to great lengths to obfuscate the fact that its normal and event maps were based on major World War 2 Pacific campaigns (specifically the ones the Imperial Japanese Navy lost), then averted utterly come the 1st-year anniversary, where the bosses were immediately identified with the ABDA. Come the Summer 2014 or Operation AL-MI event, the devs aren't even bothering hiding the fact that the Abyssals are stand-ins for the US Navy, what with their carriers now equipped with Hellcats, Helldivers, and Avengers. The event right after (Autumn 2014) showed that it was the same with the Kaigun with the Destroyer Princess looking a bit too much like Harusame, and the event after that (Winter 2015) had a Light Cruiser Demon looking like a mix of Naka and Agano. And torpedo cruisers (which only the Kaigun ever used) have been in the game since day one. The Spring 2016 Event is basically the Attack on Pearl Harbor, where you send a Combined Fleet and bombard the enemy with carrier-based and Land-based Bombers not to mention that the boss is actually the USS Arizona. Again in the Fall 2016 Event, where your fleet is pitted against Task Force 16. Then, in the last map, you're now instead pitted against Operation Crossroads ships.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_8967e17f	comment	Back from the Dead: The effect of Damage Control (Damecon for short) prevents your girls from sinking for real. Of course equipping this item causes the ship to not performing as well as it takes up one equipment slot. There are 2 types of this items as well: the Repair Crew leaves your ship at 25% or less health, and leaves her at risk of sinking in the next battle, and the Repair Goddess that fully restores HP, fuel and ammunition to the ship that would have sunk. Some have◊ made really good use of the latter. In fact, this received an indirect buff in Summer 2015 after the introduction of "auxiliary slots" for ships which are level 30 and above, which can only hold things like Damecon etc, allowing shipgirls to have insurance while being able to perform to their full potential. Sometimes, the game may disconnect on you and the ship may end up being still with you, albeit with 0 HP, like in this case. Disconnection mid-battle due to maintenance starting works too. However, it doesn't work if you initiate the disconnection. There was once a time where you could avert a girl's death just by refreshing, but that has long been fixed. It is still possible to refresh to call off the sortie before the next battle is initiated however, which is useful in saving a heavily damaged shipgirl in the event of accidental orders to continue the sortie. In the Arcade version, you can avert a shipgirl's sinking by either paying some credit or sacrificing your HQ and that shipgirl's level.

While it is instrumental to kill the enemy bosses, entering night battle in any battle before it entails the risk of being at the receiving end to those lethal attacks in return. The end result usually is that either the attacks miss or someone is getting taken out of commission. For this reason, forced night battle nodes are loathed by most players.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_963086ce	comment	Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Within the game itself. At the screen choosing whether to enter night battle or refuse, the left button is the defensive option of refusing, while the right button is the aggressive option. At the screen choosing whether to advance in the sortie map, however, the left button is the aggressive option, while the right button is the defensive one. This can and has led to confused or tired admirals mistakenly sending heavily-damaged girls to continue on sorties, with tragic results, or extreme amounts of rage when an admiral accidentally retreats a healthy fleet nearing the boss node at the end of a Marathon Level. Many expeditions require a light cruiser, four destroyers and one wildcard, not necessarily in that order. However, there are some that deviate, which can cause a careless or inattentive admiral to fail - for example, expedition 35 requires a heavy cruiser, while expedition 37 requires five destroyers with no wildcards allowed. The Fall 2017 Event introduces the lookout formation... which happens to be located at the bottom right at roughly where the Line Abreast formation were once located (it have seen been relocated to mid-bottom). The Line Abreast is the prime formation for anti-submarine warfare, which the Lookout formation was ill-suited for. Cue the players who accidentally clicked the formation ended up with their fleet dealing lackluster damage to submarines.

Played completely straight for the Kriegsmarine ships, however, who actually are named after men - because, unlike most countries, the Germans think of their ships as male rather than female, thus making their portrayals in this game an outright Gender Flip. On the other extreme, there are ship girls who simply happen to have genuine feminine names. Examples include Fubuki, Miyuki, Hibiki, Chitose, Maya, Haruna and Helena.

And while they are difficult to shot down in air-to-air combat, the jet bomber's ability to attack twice makes them twice as vulnerable to enemy's anti-air, making them impractical to use on maps with enemy fleets that has powerful air defenses.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_a86069f	comment	Alternate History: The game is starting to show this, especially in later events. The final stage of AL/MI Operation in the Summer 2014 Event have your own fleet pitted against the theoretical IJN's counterattack force, in a what-if scenario where Hiryuu had retreated to the safety of the main force, with the benefit of protection from Yamato and Musashi had the latter been commissioned in time for the Battle of Midway. This eventually continues in the Spring Event 2015 depicting the 2nd Indian Ocean Raid, which is a success and pressed on further into the Arabian Sea, in attempt to secure the Suez Canal. Some suggest it might be coordinating with the events in the North Africa, which if successful would have led to the British being in serious trouble and help the Italians (Afrika Corps) in the process. The Summer 2015 somewhat inverted the one above, as a Western Fleet was required to deploy, possibly against a counterattack by the Royal Navy. In the main scenario, the event is once again set in the part of the Solomon Islands known as the Slot and one of the final maps is Operation FS, which never happened in reality because of the failure in the Battle of Midway. The Spring 2016 operation is purely this, without any real-world basis. The main phase involves seizing and building an airbase in Johnston Island in order to deploy Land-based Bombers. An extra operation is a return to the Solomon Islands, involving a renewed offensive to seize Henderson Airfield, a Call-Back to Fall Event 2013. The last part is an invasion of Pearl Harbor, which has to be attacked twice. Zigzagged in Fall 2017 event. While it is focused in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, and pretty much repeats the same objectives of the admirals who lead the battle (Shima, Ozawa and later Nishimura), the game expects you to succeed where they fail in real life.

These maps features boss gauge which indicates the numbers of flagship kills in the boss node that is required to clear the map. Clearing the first phase of the Extra Operationsnote Currently there is only one second stage extra operation map which is Map 1-6, which awards resources instead awards medals which may be traded in for blueprints, which are necessary for theoretical remodels available for certain shipgirls. Since there are many shipgirls that requires blueprints for their remodels now whereas the medals are awarded only once per stage in a monthnote up to five medals obtainable every month, though the Map 5-5 was often skipped out due to its difficulty and high chance of offrouting, players would have to revisit the Extra Operations map on every passing month to get enough blueprints to remodel them. The seasonal event maps counts as Bonus Dungeon as well, as they often come with powerful bosses to be subdued during the limited duration of the event. Interestingly enough, some of the later stages are accessed from an arrow link similar to the one in Extra Operations, only larger, and listed as "Extra Special Operation Stage" in Englishnote The kanji on the arrow which reads as tsugisakusen totsunyuu which literally means "proceed to the next stage", even though the devs tend to divulge most if not all the event maps. Most of the final stage maps qualify as Brutal Bonus Level, as explained in its entry above.

Those who also happen to have more than a passing knowledge of World War 2 naval battles will note that the majority of these ships either lasted to the closing months of the war note Aoba, Haruna, Ise, Hyuuga, Ooyodo, Hatsushimo, actually survived the war note Yukikaze, Nagato, Houshou, Jun'you, Kitakami, Myoukou, Takao, Ushio, I-58, I-401, Sakawa, Taigei/Ryuuhou, Prinz Eugen, U-511/Ro-500, Littorio/Italia, Katsuragi, Kamikaze, Harukaze, Iowa, Warspite, Saratoga, I-14, somehow avoided or survived damage that had easily taken out their sister ships during a particular action note Hiryuu, Zuikaku before they themselves got sunk, were Sole Survivors of certain major engagements note Yukikaze again, Shigure, sank in shallow waters where it was easier to raise them for scrap or were run aground or otherwise not actually technically sunk note Nagatsuki, most of the ships that were lost near the end of the war or simply were the last of their classes to sink note Kasumi, Zuihou. Yukikaze in particular not only survived more major battles than she had any right to, but she also served as the flagship of the Republic of China Navy before finally being dismantled in 1970. Her luck stat of 60, higher by far than any other ship in the game (until Warspite comes up), reflects this. Hibiki, I-400 and I-401 are exceptions, however note All 3 of them survived the war, and Hibiki even served with the VMF for a while, but all 3 of them don't have luck exceeding 20.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_b4696bc	comment	Hard Levels, Easy Bosses: Usually averted, but occasionally played straight. For example, at 3-2, the boss node only has destroyers, transports and light cruisers, but most fleets are forced to retreat by the pre-boss node, which has battleships and heavy cruisers. 3-5 north route also applies. The boss node is one light cruiser, two transports, one battleship and two destroyers. Nothing particularly tough. But to get there, you'll have to go through one node with up to three Flagship Wo-class standard carriers, and another with Northern Ocean Princess. The south route isn't much better; due to the closing torpedo phase, the light ships you'll have to use for it have a high chance of being damaged to red in either of the two nodes before the boss, forcing you to retreat. 5-3's boss is no pushover, but one is far more likely to be forced to retreat by the compulsory night battle nodes beforehand, of which there are at least two. Spring 2016 Event E-1. The boss itself is nothing unusual, but the pre-boss node has an Aircraft Carrier or Battleship Princess leading it, which is nightmarish for an event's first map that have previously been easy even on Hard. Winter 2019 E-2 Phase 2. The Southern War Demon is pretty easy even with a combined fleet defending her, but one of the preboss nodes has two Battleship Princesses even on Medium, which can easily make things Hellish.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_b89ed08a	type	Obvious Rule Patch
KanColle (Video Game) / int_b89ed08a	comment	Obvious Rule Patch: When submarines were first available to players in summer 2013, clearing maps with a lone submarine was commonplace, as being considered the flagship, she couldn't sink, and by the time she reached the boss with 1 HP, all she had to do was deal Scratch Damage to the enemy to clear the map, since most maps outside of events lacked a map gauge. When the event ended, the mechanics were changed such that the sortie automatically ended if the flagship went to 25% or less HP (although a later patch months later allowed her to continue if she had a damecon equipped, using it up in the process), and new maps having map gauges became the norm rather than the exception. Refreshing right after reaching a resource node used to allow the player to gather resources easily without risking damage to their fleet. Some time in early 2014, this was secretly changed so that the resources collected during the sortie would only count if you ended the sortie normally. A hard cap of 300,000 for resources was also introduced. When the combined fleet mechanic was first introduced in summer 2014, E5 nodes A and B became a Peninsula of Power Leveling for DDs and CLs due to each ship receiving 300 base EXP from either submarine node, which consumed only fuel and no ammo. Ever since the next event, every new map has had variable EXP for every enemy pattern in every enemy node, thus nerfing the EXP obtainable. One of the most popular strategies to clear Winter 2015 E5 was to put submarines as the escort fleet flagship of a combined fleet, allowing her to tank damage without sinking, since the flagship of the escort fleet was immune to sinking, and you didn't have to retreat if her HP fell below 25%. Come spring 2015, submarines were no longer allowed to be the flagship of the main or escort fleet of a combined fleet. The same happened the event before with two Yamato-class battleships in the escort fleet being a popular setup for E3 and E4, resulting in all slow battleships no longer being allowed in the escort fleet. That said, there was no need to ban submarines from the main fleet flagship or other slow battleships from the escort fleet... In the first event with Land-Based Air Support (Spring 2016), the combat radius of LBAS was calculated based on the maximum range of the longest-ranged plane, meaning that you could have one long-ranged plane and tack a bunch of stronger but shorter-ranged planes on to the squadron. Subsequently, LBAS combat radius was changed so it went with the shortest range of the squadron's planes. Then again, considering how many Game Breaking Bugs the event had, it was just as likely that the devs just didn't bother to fix it until the next event, which ended up being the first ever event with no new mechanics introduced (apart from the airbases being actual locations indicated in the map). During the Summer 2016 Event, the boss node was very far away and well beyond the range of most land-based squadrons, therefore encouraging the players to use them for pre-boss nodes... with the Harbour Summer Princess node as the most obvious target for it. The reasons are quite telling as the concentrated attack from three airbases to a single node are very devastating. Future implementations of LBAS limited them to two airbases that can be sortied even for the final map, and it wasn't until Spring 2017 that the players are permitted to sortie three airbases to the final map.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_bb30961	comment	Born Unlucky: Much like the previous entry, an admiral will also notice ships with lower-than-average Luck scores (lower than 10). More often than not, these are references to their unfortunate fates, either due to faulty design choices, circumstance, or both. Many of the ships in the latter category either sunk during their initial sorties (Taihou, Bismarck note Bismarck's luck improves quite a bit in later remodels, however.), never got to participate in battle at all (Mutsu, blown up while in port), or were never even completed to begin with (Graf Zeppelin, Aquila). And despite having average luck in the game (exactly 10), Shoukaku is sometimes lumped into this group as well, due to the fact that she took more than her fair share of damage in the fleets she was in. For some reason, Yamagumo has even lower luck than the other destroyers, being the first destroyer to have less than 12 luck on remodel. Yamakaze has it even worse, with her luck still in single digit after remodel.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_be3e7584	comment	Certain shipgirls require blueprints for their remodeling, which can only be obtained by trading 4 Medals per blueprint, which in turn can only be obtained by either clearing Extra Operation maps or certain seasonal event maps. The former gives only one medal per map and may be cleared only once per month, whereas the latter are only available during seasonal holidays and not all the seasonal event maps have them. As of October 2015, the number of ship remodels that require a blueprint is 16 for 64 medals. Collecting medals from Extra Operations alone would take you at least a full year to gather that many blueprints at the earliest.

Sounds like an easy way for low level admirals to farm for them there. However, farm there too much and watch your HQ level skyrocket, forcing you to face tougher enemies in event maps and future extra operations due to Level Scaling. And good luck if you lack the heavy hitters required to clear some of those maps. Thankfully it got turned around for event maps starting from Winter 2015, where you now get to choose Difficulty Levels, with harder levels being unlocked if your HQ level is high enough, making raising HQ levels for new players a desirable thing once more.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_d848560f	comment	Unusual Euphemism: The fandom has several, for example: Displacement: While it depended on the artist, early on there was an obvious correlation between the maximum displacement of a ship and just how buxom its personification could be. So you had destroyers who were fairly flat-chested (due to being portrayed as kids), and super-battleships that were on the other side of the spectrum. However as time went on, the historical displacement of ships became less and less of a factor to their buxomness, to the point one had an incredibly flat Taihou (an armoured aircraft carrier), and yet also an extremely stacked Hamakaze (who as a destroyer is far lighter than Taihou). Discussed in the 4koma in the chapter introducing the Agano-class, where Agano brought up their "firm bodies" and "amazing displacement". Fubuki and her fellow Destroyers then talk about how (for light cruisers) Yuubari has closely similar displacement to Tenryuu, yet the latter has comparatively bigger breasts. Then they look at Ryuujou and then they conclude that the correlation doesn't really matter. Fuel Tanks: Originating from one of Heavy Cruiser Atago's lines, where she complains about how her fuel tanks make her shoulders stiff... Except she doesn't have any visible fuel tanks, though what she does instead have is a bountiful bosom. Has become a catch-all word to describe the bustiness of Takao and Atago. (Ship) Bulge: Another term for girls with supple bosoms. Occasionally, though, it refers to breast paddings. Night Battle: What happens when Admirals and their favorite ship girls have sex in doujinshi. With the implementation of the marriage system, well, what would you expect a married couple to do anyway? Sendai being Sendai brings it up... in her married secretary line of all places.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_dbd43caa	type	Power Equals Rarity
KanColle (Video Game) / int_dbd43caa	comment	Power Equals Rarity: Both played straight and subverted. Nagato-class, Yamato-class, Shimakaze and Yukikaze are particularly strong and rare ships in their respective ship types. However, many of the rarer ships don't live up to their rarity. Rare Random Drop Destroyers (those who are uncraftable and only obtainable from boss nodes) are not much different from Com Mon Destroyers aside from anti-submarine stats (which are better obtained from equipment anyway). Completely subverted for Light Cruisers. Kinu and Abukuma only gain advantage from the faster remodeling level and high anti-sub at lower levels, and their final stats are actually lower than their easily obtainable sisters of the Nagara-class. The Agano-class is the worst offender of this; not only are their stats not that flattering compared to the Nagara-class, but their fuel/ammo cost is also on par with some of the Heavy Cruisers. Played With among carriersnote It is unwise to compare different carrier classes as they have redeeming qualities, like lower consumption and higher survivability. Souryuu superclass plays it straight with more rare Hiryuu being more powerful than Souryuu. Averted with the Shoukaku-class, where both Zuikaku and Shoukaku have the same stats, despite Zuikaku being more rare. Akagi and Kaga are weird about this. Akagi has higher rarity grade, but she is easily obtainable through early quest, often being the first carrier in the taskforce. Kaga has lower rarity grade, but she can be a pain to actually get. As for performance, Kaga is superior to Akagi in every waynote at least, until the latter gets a slight firepower boost.

The E-7 boss has ridiculously high armor, well above the night battle damage cap, effectively rendering anything short of critical hits as nothing more than Scratch Damage. It can be lowered by defeating the flagships of certain nodes. However, two of those nodes have previous bosses for flagships.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_e36de06c	comment	Shizuma Yoshinori (Nagato, Yamato, the Akizukis, Shimakaze, Yukikaze, Iowa, Saratoga, Atlanta...): Almost every shipgirl drawn by him wears distinctive "Rudder Stiletto" high-heel shoes. Other main traits are being eye-catching/fanservice (and sometimes garish) and later on, the designs working in traits of the actual ships (like the bows being the Akizuki class' stomach protection), with Iowa combining the two. The only one with a significantly different shoe design is Akitsushima and they are rudder wedges rather than the usual stilettos. He also has a thing about sentient turrets, demonstrated with the Rensouhous and the Long 10cm-chan. Coincidentally, all but four of his ship girls feature exceptional stats. note The Yamato-class need little introduction. The Nagato-class were the strongest battleships available before the Yamato-class appeared and Power Creep kicked in. Shimakaze has above-average stats on par with destroyers who have second remodels; Yukikaze has ridiculously high luck apart from having similar maximum stats as the former; Amatsukaze has excellent durability and evasion; and the Akizuki-class have tremendous Anti-Air. Iowa is only second to Yamato-class in firepower and armor, while having superlative LOS and AA...as a Fast Battleship. Finally, Saratoga has peerless durability and AA amongst Fleet Carriers along with a decent offense and plane count. As for the Type AM twins, they feature decent durability and a third gear slot, meaning that they can compensate for their average combat stats. Only Tokitsukaze features generic Kagerou-class stats while Akitsushima compensates for her poor stats with her unique gear (A sentient Flying Boat). He's also the one that starts the meme "the second ships (in a class) have sexy bodies", and this shows in Teruzuki, Mutsu, Musashi and Saratoga. His art while consistent has improved in a few spots, including curve range, making fans look forward to Second Remodel work for his Japanese BBs. With Musashi's second remodel, it hints at him seeking to fix a period of KC art he considers an Old Shame.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_e4e86215	type	Fake Difficulty
KanColle (Video Game) / int_e4e86215	comment	Fake Difficulty: Luck-Based Mission and Random Number God aside, if you have enough submarines you can easily cheese out certain stages, some of which would be much more difficult to clear otherwise. In particular, if you got a submarine in the process of clearing 2-3, 2-4 becomes a Breather Level instead. (At least that was the case before ASW equipment got buffed, but all you need now is just a bit more luck than before. Or Iona.) The 2014 Summer Event turned to be a particularly unforgiving example of fake difficulty. Due to the nature of the real-life event it's based on, ships used in Operation AL ( maps E-1 and E-2) couldn't be used in Operation MI (maps E-3, E-4 and E-5). In addition, operation MI requires you to deploy the Combined Fleet, which is essentially two fleets at once in a single sortie, one consisting of mostly aircraft carriers and another one with mostly light ships. To further complicate matters, the final map E-6 locked out ships used in any of the previous event maps. As a result of all this, in order to just have a chance to complete the entire event you essentially needed four full fleets of adequately powerful ships (Six if you wanted Support Fleets in both midway and boss stage of E-6). On top of all that, prior to the start of the event the only thing the dev team revealed about the whole system was that ships used in one operation couldn't be used in another, and withheld the information about Midway's Combined Fleet system or the extra operation stage which forbade any AL/MI ships. Considering that each map had several variants of suitable team compositions, the amount of shipgirls involved in the event for an elite player may well surpassed 40. Elaborating on this three-front war: Operation AL's first map was fairly easy regardless of the difficulty level. However, E-2, the last map of AL, which the devs even described as 'beginner-friendly' prior to the event, is generally regarded as one of the hardest map of the entire event, especially if your HQ Level was above 60. One of the main difficulties of AL was that the branching rules pretty much forced you to use light/medium ships only. While it was possible to use heavy fleets, you then had to face either more battle nodes or the stronger enemies. Or both. And that's before mentioning that you couldn't use those ships in later event maps. Operation MI, while a whole lot easier than AL thanks to being able to use all the heavy ships at your disposal and bring 12 ships instead of the regular six, turned into a nightmare for your resources because of the very same reasons. One fleet full of heavy ships can already be quite costly, but two fleets deployed at the same time meant an even higher resource consumption. Bauxite supplies usually suffered the most, since almost all enemy fleets contained lots of aircraft carriers with very strong planes. Those that didn't were either submarine nodes or night battle nodes, which didn't make things easier. Also, ships like Akitsu Maru, who were previously deemed useless except for their equipment, actually made things easier. The last map (E-6) however, was a nightmare. First of all, you cannot send the Combined Fleet to the aforementioned map, leaving only your regular fleet of six ships that has yet to be sortied to any of the previous event maps. The first battle node pitted flagship-type carriers and battleship (among other things) against you, and it got progressively worse from there. The "safest" route was over a submarine node and pre-boss node that contained the final boss of the previous map as a regular enemy but still at full strength. To secure this route you had to use two light aircraft carriers, who due to their weak armour got wrecked easily. The alternative was reaching the boss via night battle nodes, where even mere destroyers could wreck your battleships easily. Speaking of the boss node, in order to even reach it your fleet was required to have a very high LOS rating. If you failed to meet that requirement you were sent to a dead end. And even if you managed to reach it, you found out that the final boss was none other than the Battleship Princess, the most hated enemy in the entire game due to her ridiculously high stats and ability to critically damage even your best ships in one shot. Beating this map required you to deal damage to her that amounted to a total of ten times her health bar (thankfully chip damage was allowed). And if the boss gauge had been depleted enough that you needed only one more kill to break it? If your HQ Level was below 100 it was random, but above 100 it was guaranteed that the game pitted two Battleship Princesses against you. To further complicate matters, the event outright punished you for trying to figure out branching rules. When faced with a new map, the general course of action is to use different ship types and combinations and see where your fleet gets sent. However, due to the ship locking mechanic, this meant that, for example, you could send ships to Operation AL, only to realize that they were practically useless in it and were actually needed for Operation MI, but now you couldn't use them in MI because you'd already sent them to AL. Keeping two operations in mind when organizing fleets was already bad enough, but with E-6 thrown into the mix it was a punch in the face for those who didn't have a large number of ships at their disposal. As a result of this multiple-front war many players have started training two ships of the same name, which would have been insane in the past when Special Events had only one front, since two ships of the same name can't be in the same fleet. Much of Autumn 2013 E4's difficulty stemmed from the fact that many, many players at the time still thought that ships could "sink in orange" i.e. with more than 25% HP left but not more than 50%. That's not to say that it would have been easy otherwise, due to the other factors that contributed to its difficulty, but the clear rate would still have been a lot higher than 5%. Event maps in general can be like this. Have a certain ship? You usually get favourable routing. Don't have her? Too bad, you'll have to travel through a much tougher route. Summer 2015 had rare aversions of this; it was possible to get equally favourable routing on E5 without needing Akitsushima, and on E6 having certain ships actually made things harder. Then it came back hard the next event; E3 was nigh impossible on hard if you lacked Akitsu Maru.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_e621b159	comment	Displacement: While it depended on the artist, early on there was an obvious correlation between the maximum displacement of a ship and just how buxom its personification could be. So you had destroyers who were fairly flat-chested (due to being portrayed as kids), and super-battleships that were on the other side of the spectrum. However as time went on, the historical displacement of ships became less and less of a factor to their buxomness, to the point one had an incredibly flat Taihou (an armoured aircraft carrier), and yet also an extremely stacked Hamakaze (who as a destroyer is far lighter than Taihou). Discussed in the 4koma in the chapter introducing the Agano-class, where Agano brought up their "firm bodies" and "amazing displacement". Fubuki and her fellow Destroyers then talk about how (for light cruisers) Yuubari has closely similar displacement to Tenryuu, yet the latter has comparatively bigger breasts. Then they look at Ryuujou and then they conclude that the correlation doesn't really matter.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_e652089c	type	Artistic License â€“ Ships
KanColle (Video Game) / int_e652089c	comment	Artistic License – Ships: No, T-crossing does not work that way. When you T-cross the enemy fleet, you don't take extra damage in return, and when you get T-crossed, you don't take reduced damage either. This is possibly one of many Acceptable Breaks from Reality for the sake of game balance, seeing as the game got most other facts right. Before the update on 28 July 2014, fast battleships were unable to equip AP ammo, despite the fact that the Kongou-class did carry them historically. Mizuho was introduced during the Summer 2015 event with a listed speed of Fast, when her historical speed was 22 knots (in comparison, Yamato-class, the fastest "Slow" ships, had a speed of 27 knots, and Kaga, the slowest "Fast" ship, had a speed of 28 knots). This was fixed when the event ended. The Chitose-class as AVs had a similar speed, but unlike Mizuho's, theirs weren't fixed. The classification of the Yamato-class as slow may also count, seeing as how the real-life Yamato-class was faster than the smaller Fusou, Ise, and Nagato-classes. Also, the Yamato-class had the same top speed as the American South Dakota-class, which were classified as fast battleships. Then again, the class in real life wasn't designed as a "fast battleship" in mind. Despite Warspite being historically a fast battleship, here she's a normal (slow) battleship. At least it makes sense since even the slowest Japanese battleship class (Fuso-class) is faster than her. Then comes Gangut, a dreadnought-era battleship who is erroneously categorized as "fast battleship" while having an actual speed listing of "slow". While we're on the subject of the abstraction of speeds as "Fast", and "Slow", in the Arcade version, the ship's actual speed does matters. In an all-fast fleet that includes Kaga and/or either of the Chitose sisters and/or Shimakaze, for example, if the order for flank speed is given, this can result in Kaga and the Chitose sisters being left behind, as they are the slowest "Fast" ships, while Shimakaze effectively outruns the rest of the fleet. In actual naval battles, aircraft carriers are capable staying out of enemy surface ship's shelling range due to the enormous range of their aircraft. In KanColle the surface ships are able to close into the shelling range of aircraft carriers on both sides (apart from the initial airstrikes). This is definitely out of Rule of Fun, as it would be impossible to S-rank any nodes with enemy carriers if your own fleet doesn't have any. The later-introduced pure carrier-on-carrier nodes reflect naval aviation battles more accurately, as only the carriers' air wings engage (twice) and the surface combatants don't get to fire at all, effectively relegating the surface ships to air defense role. All cruisers are capable of performing torpedo attacks, including five ships (Ooyodo, Pola, Zara, Houston Mod. 1, and Helena) whose historical counterparts were not armed with torpedoes. The real ships' lack of torpedo armament is reflected in these girls having zero for their torpedo stats. However, not only can they accept torpedo launchers and be capable of launching torpedoes after that, their base torpedo stat can be raised above zero via modernization. As the devs once mentioned "The Washington Naval Treaty doesn't apply here". As such, light cruisers can be up-gunned with 203mm main batteries, which are typically heavy cruiser guns. Similarly, all battleships can be up-gunned all the way to 46cm, the largest battleship main gun caliber ever constructed. This has become downplayed when accuracy penalty is imposed on battleships with overweight guns, with Kongou-class being hit the hardest by the penalty. Several of the less well-known foreign ships (such as Richelieu and Zara-class) have inaccurate stats, due to their specification details and service history (such as Zara's armor and Richelieu's anti-air refit at New York) not being fully disclosed by Japanese Wikipedia. In IJN proper ship classification, all aircraft carriers are considered as fleet standard regardless of their plane capacity, but lighter carriers are put in their own classification in-game. Additionally, the Shouhou-class light carriers was officially designed as Zuihou-class in real lifenote While Shouhou (formerly the seaplane tender Tsurugizaki) is the older ship of the two, Takasaki was converted into aircraft carrier first, effectively making Zuihou the lead ship by commission date. All carriers can equip all planes. Historically, certain planes like the Ryuusei and Reppuu were too large for any ship but Taihou and the unimplemented Shinano to use. Just like her counterpart in Warship Girls, USS Samuel B. Roberts is mis-classed as a destroyer instead of a destroyer escort, and because of this, she is able to not only equip the USN 533mm quint torpedo launcher introduced with the November ranking rewards, she also gets a stat bonus from the launcher on top of the equipment's base stats.

The official RPG goes a step further by never mentioning any links between the player's organization and the Japanese government or military.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_e8b295de	comment	Played With among carriersnote It is unwise to compare different carrier classes as they have redeeming qualities, like lower consumption and higher survivability. Souryuu superclass plays it straight with more rare Hiryuu being more powerful than Souryuu. Averted with the Shoukaku-class, where both Zuikaku and Shoukaku have the same stats, despite Zuikaku being more rare. Akagi and Kaga are weird about this. Akagi has higher rarity grade, but she is easily obtainable through early quest, often being the first carrier in the taskforce. Kaga has lower rarity grade, but she can be a pain to actually get. As for performance, Kaga is superior to Akagi in every waynote at least, until the latter gets a slight firepower boost.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_f0bb6c11	comment	Sailor Earth: Averting the Featureless Protagonist / Non-Entity General phenomenon, doujin writers have created multitudes of diverse admirals; male and female, Funny Animals (Dog Admiral, Cat Admiral, Rabbit Admiral); Half-Dragon Admirals, Macho Admirals, Masochistic Admirals, lesbian Admirals; even Anti-Hero or Reluctant Monster Abyssal Admirals. It is accepted by the doujin community that they can all be true. The official tabletop RPG explicitly references several of the above types, including the shiba-inu and T-head admirals, although its canonicity is pretty doubtful. It's also a common thing in the fandom to make ship girls based of yet unimplemented ships in the game, from multiple navies across the world.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_f69d396a	comment	Walk on Water: For obvious reasons, this is a common ability of the ship girls. When it came to this, the official 4-koma compared it to ice skating. Ascended Meme: Originally, it was unsure how the ship girls even moved while on water. On Nico Nico Douga, where Miku Miku Dance models became prevalent after the popularity of the game, videos popped up which showed the girls skating on water as a possible way of emulating the propeller on an actual ship. So it is unsurprising that the 4-koma and then the anime (the latter of which spawned a meme) decided to go along with the idea as well.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_fd2086a9	type	You Require More Vespene Gas
KanColle (Video Game) / int_fd2086a9	comment	You Require More Vespene Gas: While the game generates the resources on its own, it is common for Admirals to get into low reserves and the game complaining you do not have enough of them. One specific Memetic Mutation even has its roots in this problem: Akagi can be acquired fairly early in the game with only a few quests, but the problem is that, as an aircraft carrier, she uses up bauxite, sometimes hundreds in one sortie, and repair buckets. Having neither usually results in having a two+ hour repair time and/or not being able to perform more sorties. Hence the reason images like this are really popular, because of the level of maintenence required to handle it. If regular sorties, equipment crafting and/or ship constructions didn't do your resources in, then there is the Large Ship Construction, which is unlocked by collecting all the Sendai-class light cruisers (which also unlocks the 3rd fleet for an additional fleet for expeditions). Basically a ship construction scaled up to consume resources in the scale of thousandsnote In comparison, you only regenerate 1440 fuel, ammo, and steel each, plus 480 bauxites per 24 hours before the resource soft cap is reached, it takes at least 2000 steel just for the default recipe. To top it off, some of the ships such as Bismarck and ''Yamato''-class superbattleships can only obtained as rare construction results from LSC with a much larger investment of resources, which means getting the LSC exclusive ships entails wasting thousands of resources per attempt in a raffle with them as the reward. It's not uncommon for some admirals to spend 6 digits worth of resources in dozens of construction attempts and not get any of them.

As a result, the tone of fanworks and spinoff works varies from very dark (see Darker and Edgier, above) to lighthearted comedies and anything in between. Other things also change between interpretations; origins of the ship girls and Abyssals - Aliens? Mystic rituals and spirits? Super-science? Do projectiles remain proportionately small to human size, like in the anime, or do they expand to full size as per Kant-O-Celle Quest? What about the girls and Abyssals themselves? Are conventional forces relevant, or only as much cannon fodder as in kaiju films? Are the Abyssals a worldwide threat or merely a Pacific problem? So on and so forth.

KanColle (Video Game) / int_ff34c05a	comment	Item Crafting: There are two usual ways to gain additional ship girls in the game. One is via random drops during sorties or expedition. The other way is constructing one, a much more time-consuming processnote unless if you use instant construction flamethrower, which is consumed after use that uses up resources (fuel, ammunition, steel, and bauxite). Specific resource ratios during construction yield higher chances of getting "rare" ships (like Shimakaze or Yukikaze), or even ship types (in case of carriers). Even so, to get exactly what you want is a hit-or-miss thing. The equipments are obtained this way as well, Apart from acquiring them as stock equipments from shipgirlsnote Some of these pre-equipped armaments are only available after remodelling certain shipgirls once or twice, which entails levelling them to considerably high level. or as quest rewards. Some equipments can be (randomly) crafted from the factory by expending some resources. What you get depends on the amount of individual resources you've put, though there is a chance for the equipment development to fail entirelynote The development material is refunded in this case, fortunately., or worse yet, resulting in a substandard equipment (AA guns are prime offenders of this). In the Arcade version, understandably, the ship girls and the equipments are made instantaneously, but for the former, they'll cost a credit if you actually want to have the girl as a card.
