My bad...
Actually, her, ah, presentation is pretty similar to Unryuu, if toned down a bit because she's wearing more fabric.
Ah, I misread it. I thought it was the VA, it was the artist that's the same.
1.) This is the same artist as Iowa; 2.) Unryuu is worse; 3.) Carriers in general are either completely flat or have humongous breasts (though it might hard to ascertain due to their outfits); 4.) Sara is an American (and you know how they tend to be depicted).
Though honestly, it doesn't look weird to me. Certainly remarkably big, but perhaps due to her clothes, it doesn't look ridiculous to me. Compare her to Unryuu, which is...
Reference to Joseph Joestar from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. At one point, he dressed in a (ridiculous) drag outfit, but before that, when he confronted a vampire he immediately opened up his attack by spraying him with a Tommy Gun barrage. Sara's weapon is like a Tommy Gun and she has the same hair color as Joseph (when the color palette isn't stylistically swapped in the show).

Is there a general Kancolle discussion thread around here, not just fanfic focused? I wanted to write up some thoughts on the Movie Trailer at some point.

Actually, the majority consensus based on listening to her lines is that her VA is Itou Shizuka. Iowa's is Hashimoto Chinami, who's a new VA.
She's quite a powerful carrier in game, having an awesomely large plane capacity (90 planes), and equally strong stats in all areas. Her only shortcoming is her attack range getting downgraded to 'short' from 'medium' when she's remodelled.

well....
you can always try giving Saratoga some planes that got evade stats... if you're gonna whine about low dodge.
Does anyone know what could historically carry Daihatsu landing craft?
I'm slightly disappointed that the SBD Dauntless is so subpar despite it's legendary (and likely highly exaggerated) reputation to the USN. Maybe it's reputation isn't as good in Japan, history books and other things? Torpedo bombers in this game just seem flat out better, and the SBD doesn't really change that.
It's development was fast, but not that rushed.
On the other hand, the other common Japanese bomber, the D3A Type 99, also is very low in stats. That was the bomber Japan used in most of the war. Considered obsolete by some at the start, with upgrades and good pilots, and a bit of luck and good strategic positioning, it proved very well.
The best stat planes in this game had development issues making them work, slow deployments, or were Japanese blueprints or prototypes.
Maybe the developers will include rare, prototype German, Italian, British, American and French equipment too.
With different niche then the Japanese. They could potentially have all specializations for game balance purposes, to be used in different situations and different maps, so they're equally good in different situations.
Still, it does seem weird that such a bad plane thing is a hard mode reward in the game. Maybe it can be upgraded to SBD-2 and other higher Mark versions.
She was apparently good enough to live through her entire 30 year career and was decommissioned in 2004, struck in 2005, and scrapped in 2006.Landed on foreign territory and engaged in operations against armed opposition, or operated under circumstances which, after full consideration, shall be deemed to merit special recognition and for which service no campaign medal has been awarded.
well we all know what her summoning music would beSo guys. I found what is apparently the most highly decorated ship in US history.

And basically everything it has ever done is classified to hell and back.
A comprehensive service history would better resemble a barcode than a document with how much marker would be scribbling all over the page. All we know is she probably sometimes retrieved soviet test ICBM fragments, she pretty likely did some wire tapping, and some of her missions involved combat.

Yeah I mean comparing the Dauntless to its contemporary, the Type 99, it's just loads better. The problem is that we're comparing it statswise to planes like the Suisei Mk 12 and Ryuusei Kai, where of course it's coming up short (and because the game has no mechanic to encourage using, say, "cheaper" planes rather than the best available in any given situation, the way resource costs encourage you to use "cheaper" kanmusu rather than the most powerful all the time). So I'm not surprised that the Dauntless, TBD, and F4F look lackluster compared to late-war Japanese aircraft that saw limited, if any, service (if they even flew); if we were making an honest comparison we'd be looking at US planes like the Super Corsairs, FR Fireballs, Bearcats, FH Phantoms, and heck, Skyraiders and AM Maulers, to say nothing of the aircraft in between.

The daihatsu was similar in size to some of the larger Japanese ships' boats, so it was possible to carry them on many ships, and especially towards the end of the war they were often used that way. That said, a number of Mutsuki-class destroyers were specially converted for the destroyer transport role and would have carried them during their stints in the Solomons. Most of the ships that eventually saw kaiten-carrier conversions, including Kitakami and Oi, could also swap the kaiten for daihatsu. This includes some submarines.
I feel like the person who wrote this line didn't do their research. As a reminder, 92 of the 95 ship at the test were american (source).'It's unfortunate that you will be used for target practice. It is the fate of all captured enemy trophy ships to be scuttled outside of battle or integrated into the fleet if it is worthy but this is your own navy commandeering your demise.' Nagato finally speaks. 'There are too many of us who fought against your alliance here. You are fated to die with us.'
The destroyer transport version cleared its after deck of its minelaying/minesweeping gear and depth charges to carry a landing craft and might have a second carried sideways forward of the second torpedo mount; officially they lost no armament but many of them seem to have landed their torpedo reloads. The loss of combat effectiveness is actually pretty small on the surface, but since the Japanese didn't create any extra space below decks for cargo or people to be carried, it's likely their effectiveness would have been reduced by cargo (human and otherwise) fouling their decks and preventing easily bringing their weapons into action. A more extensive refit increased the number of automatic AA weapons, reduced the guns to two, and eliminated the after torpedo mount, but was focused on creating escort vessels out of them and not fast transports.
In the end it probably didn't matter. Death for the Mutsukis came from the air ten times of twelve, and their AA armament was never good.
From the Enemy Vessel page on Kancolle wikia, her designation (which is translated to Northern Princess) is 北方棲姫 (Hoppousei-Ki (Hime)) hence Hoppo-chan.I have a question.
Why is Northern Princess called Hoppo-chan?
