Souls of Beyond, Returned to Protect (Kantai Collection) (Still Open to Submission)

paper ships are a case by case basis, though i know Habbukkuk is as solid no.

So, it's a solid no? And if It could get approved, what would I have to do to get approval for one?

Edit: ok, its a no I see. How powerful of a carrier and battleship can I get? Can I pick an Iowa or midway?

Ok... The character sheet you guys gave me list the ship as Taiho, she even has japanese planes. Did something happen? Was she taken away from Always Confused and given Midway instead?

Speaking about that... just saw Always_Confused the other day replying to one of my comments... could this be fate telling me to grab Midway?

Ok now seriously, I guess Flip a coin and see what I play as, BB or CV. I will post a character sheet later.

Taihu
is different from Taihou. The former is a Midway-class. The latter is the Japanese carrier with the armored flight deck.

To even consider playing as Big E would be a sin.

Wikipedia has failed me, it doesn't list the names of the other 3 cancelled Midway.

I am reading this whole thread and I have one question.

Is Midway available as in no one ever picked her but a sister of hers instead?

And I see that the op said that Montana is ok to pick, unsurprising they both got picked by Always_Confused. So which is it? Who did Always picked in the end? Or are both under Always control?
 
always_confused had the Montana as his PC and the Midway as his companion ship.

Taihu is a made-up name as that is an OC Midway-class. Khatun is a made-up name for the OC Montana-class.

USS Midway, the lead ship of her class, is available, yes.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation.

It's a shame I don't get Montana but Midway is more than an equal for me. I'll grab her and create a character sheet. You guys Rp IC in another thread or are you posting IC somewhere else?
 
@Jhin Lemon

I've decided on what to refit Eskimo with.

The most up to date reinforced ram that's possible for me to gain, please.

Apparently a number of subs were rammed and sunk that way, however due to a lack of good reinforcement the attacking ship also became very damaged. This desire for a ram is definitely not because of her sister ship cassock, who rammed another ship on her first engagement and achieved fame for it by boarding the vessel.

Not at all.

Wikipedia said:
In World War II, naval ships often rammed other vessels, though this was often due to circumstances, as considerable damage could be caused to the attacking ship. The damage that lightly constructed destroyers took from the tactic led to it being officially discouraged by the Royal Navy from early 1943, after HMS Hesperus was dry-docked for three months following sinking U-357 in December 1942 and HMS Harvester was torpedoed and sunk following damaging her propellers during the ramming of U-444 in March 1943.
But if you really want to ram stuff despite the danger, it should be possible.

Rams were already totally abandoned by WW2, the only ships still maintaining them having been built during WW1. The way i see it is that the ships who rammed were basically crashing a weak section of their hull into another ship, causing almost equivalent damage to both sides.

This interpretation is supported by the fact that ships recorded with rams affixed to their fronts didn't generally record any damage when they collided, since their reinforced armour prevented much force from carrying over.

Technically, if you wanted to be confusing, you could get Montana, the lead ship of the Montana-class battleships. However, we already have, in the form of my character, a ship with that name, in the form of the 1920s South Dakota-class battleship Montana. And just so you are aware, as you may have gotten slightly confused - it's only Habbakuk and other such pykrete island carriers that are classified as hard no's for paper ships - others are on a case by case basis, although I figure the Tillman Maximum Battleships would also be a hard no.

He flipped a coin to decide on either Montana or Midway, iirc. The coin landed on Midway.
 
Wait, @matthew badger, where are you getting Cossack ramming a ship? All I can find on the subject involves her being rammed
Article:
Cossack's first action was on 16 February 1940, under the command of Philip Vian. This was the Altmark Incident in Jøssingfjord, Norway which resulted in the freeing of the Admiral Graf Spee's prisoners who were being held aboard the supply ship Altmark and the death of eight crew members of the German ship.

In the Incident the German tanker rammed her with the stern in an angle of about 30° at the altitude of her bridge and pressed the destroyer towards the fiord wall. The Norwegian officers present later reported, that only the mass of ice piled up averted the destroyer to crash onto the rocky shore. The powerful engines of the destroyer made her escape from the squeeze possible.[3] Cossack arrived at Leith on 17 February with the 299 freed prisoners.[4] She had to be docked for her propellor and A-brackets to be checked in case they had been damaged by the thick ice in the fiord. They were unharmed, but her stern plating had to be repaired where it had been bumping against Altmark.[5]
 
It is pretty damn hard coming up with a picture. I have been browsing sites for a shipgirl but they barely come close to what I want.

Can I just do what Always_Confused did and play as both? One more thing, Do you guys already have a picture of them or Can I search for a new one? Need to know If I should pick up on where ALways_Confused left or if I should start a new set characters.

Playing more than one ship is allowed. You can have, at most, a second PC, a capital ship companion, and four non-capital ship companions. You don't need a picture, you could use a description if that would be easier. If you want a picture, you can pick whatever you like so long as it fits the Kancolle conventions (Destroyers are young, etc). And I'd prefer you make new characters.
 
Okay, I see.

Well then, I guess I'll take Midway as my main, Montana as my second PC and I get 4 more companions? they are NPC right? I can't see myself controlling 6 ships....

Okay, Getting Two Carriers, Two battleships and Two destroyers. Finding pictures now. By the way, since I'll be playing Montana and Midway, Do I need to pick up where Always_Confused left or can I start fresh? What about his earlier interactions? Do I just show and say, Hai gaaaays, Guess what? I'm a Montana as well!!! Isn't that like the coolest thing eva!!!?

Five total companions are possible, alongside two PCs. Please don't take as many companions as possible if you have no intention of actually playing them though. Always_Confused was a Midway and Montana class ships, not Midway and Montana themselves.
 
Umm... Okay.

Wow it's going to be a challenge. 2 main PC and 5 PC companions.... I guess I can challenge myself and keep them together when they sortie and see what shenanigans I can put my destroyers in when off-duty.
 
Your companion slots are the following: 1 capital ship, and 4 escorts. Said escorts can also be fairy-operated flying boats, PT boats, etc.
