E2 will be based on the battle of Shibuyan Sea. Expect the use of Kurita fleet.

It is also announced that there will be more than 6 new ships in the event, and that KTKM and Ooi will get special pre-event lines today.

Farming hell.

I'm thinking 8 ships.

**Leyana** · 02-14-2018, 10:58 PM

@DLRevan Maybe we'll get lots of reward ships!

**ofi123** · 02-14-2018, 11:44 PM

Hmm. If it's 4+2 maps, maybe 4 reward + 3/4 farm? Or 3 reward + 4/5 farm?

Argh, my steel is going to drop below 100k after k2 the expensive Sushi.

British DD teaser.

4 normal maps with 4 new girls from those maps.

3 EOs with 3 new girls from those maps.

"7" map event boys. Let's go.

7 maps 7 girls... well, we've lived through this last Summer event.

E2, E4, E7 reward, and drops in E1/2, E3/4, E5 and E6. We did it before, we'll do it again.

Now, the more worrying question is probably, how many locks/parts/bars/bosses there are going to be. Or maybe something to top the 2000 TP bar or ZZ nodes...

**Leyana** · 02-15-2018, 02:07 AM

@NanashiYoukai ZZZZZZZ nodes!

So far playing out as I thought - Summer 2017 + Fall 2017 combo. 7 map and 7 new ships. Rather have 4 a rewards, but I highly doubt that's the case. Likely 3 as reward and go farm 4. Hopefully farming conditions well be palatable.

Don't give the devs any ideas! :P Well, not that they need any. Given hype for this event, I'm expecting "more". Per above, expecting Summer 2017 + Fall 2017 so yeah, 2835 unlocking steps, ZZZZ nodes, triple gauge maps, 2500TP - whatever. It's all on the table. Question I have is duration. Certainly expect 28-30 days, but more than that? Wouldn't surprise me.

@Leyana: So do I have the hinted ships right so far - 2xDE (new class) + "lucky" RN DD & USN CVE? Thoughts on potential capital ships? Thinking need at least one as a reward for an event like this. Summer 2017 gave us both Ark Royal and Richeliue. Expecting at least 1 new IJN DD (if not 2) so that leaves 1-2 spots for capital ship(s).
