I still have I want to say 186 cubes left (really, money has slowed me down). Happy with that considering my so-so luck during the Italian ship event and a big disappointment during the Wishing Well (my fault probably).
I just need to get Hiei to join Hiei-chan and I'll be set.

Polaris, featuring a buildable Gascogne variant. Apparently it's not a collab?
Meanwhile, EN Twitter just announced Divergent Chessboard rerun. I suggest throttling down your resource spend for the War God and Enigma events to give you more shots at Deutschland (drop only) and U-47 (SR pull from Limited Construction).

The U-110 final event--clear SP3 60 times--is brutal. Even if you have a pair of fleets that can manage it consistently.
In the meantime, you know that week where the RV Petrel located the Akagi and Kaga on the ocean floor? Guess who dropped for me while doing some idle 3-4 farming?
I'm pleased, if mildly disappointed--I probably haven't done nearly as much 3-4 farming as some, but notably I already got the BB Kaga from the event (she's probably my third best BB, behind Tirpitz and Amagi), I never managed to get even Akagichan from the Child's Day event. Guess we'll see how many 3-4 runs it takes to get Akagi in the meantime.

Looks like Gascogne isn't the only one getting a variant - all the front five are getting separate Polaris ships.
This is, uh, pretty big...?

So, even if I could make myself do it, I'm not going to have nearly enough fuel to complete SP3 sixty times. Not unless at some point really soon, the threat level drops to "Just do the boss battle." As it stands, I need to grind through 5 escort engagements with a fleet that costs ~70 each time, then do the boss battle in turn.
Sad, since U-110 is hilariously adorable in her actual event. Maybe I'll luck out in construction, but considering I already got Mikasa twice, I am burning through cubes pretty fast trying to get her and Hiei, surprisingly.

Depending on your ship levels, I'd consider building a lighter mobbing fleet such as one made with destroyers instead of cruisers. Mine is currently a Z frontline (Z1, Z23 Retro and Z46) and Shouhou solo rear.
Speaking of Z46, slow down on the cube spend. You'll want 'em for the upcoming Divergent Chessboard Rerun if you didn't run it the first time.

I thought about that. As it happens, Z46 and Scharnhorst are the "only" things I need from the Divergent Chessboard event. Mostly Z46, I suppose, though even then it's not that big a deal.
My current fleets really aren't up to the task of grinding through SP3 with many reductions though (I guess I'm underlevel'd, underpowered, or both). Maybe I can drop one ship from the rear for the escort fleet clearing, possibly two. But even then I doubt that's going to get me to 60. I have ~130 cubes left currently--and 1500 fuel today. I've cleared SP3 18 times so far. I guess it's worth a shot, but unless SP3 gets substantially easier I doubt I'll make up the difference.
My SP3 fleet was Tirpitz, Enterprise, and Montpellier. All level 110 and well geared. Call in the subs for the boss battle cause of the 0 ammo penalty.
Well, it looks like I can get through escort fleet clearing in SP3 with just three ships--Z23, Prinz Eugen, and Tirpitz. Along with sub support, they can clear 5/5 pretty easily, much more so than I expected.
That being said, I still need a full fleet, and submarine support, and the 5/5 ammunition bonus to clear the boss encounter with an S rank. I might be able to bring it down to 5 ships, but it does't make that much of a difference (you might as well use a second fleet, and just have them sit there and wait, since that doesn't consume oil).
It's a lot more efficient, but I don't think it'll let me do 39 more runs before the time runs out.

...Jeez. Yeah, 39 runs is out of the question, not for inclination (which is subjective) but for oil. And you'll be running into Morale troubles not two hours in.

Morale?
All of your ships have a morale value and the more you use them in a short amount of time, the lower it gets. Once it gets beyond a certain point, you'll see a face icon on their card and they get penalties. You have to let them rest or put them in the harem dorm to recover quicker.

Oh. Not just from getting sunk. I'd forgotten about that.
I can rotate ships out, but that's only going to aggrevate the fuel problems. I just hope the grinding for Z46 (construction and drop only, apparently) is more feasible. Scharnhorst is a clearing reward at least.
After very little use coming out of trying to build Hiei, 8 cubes under special and she popped out. Because I'm pretty sure I wasn't going to make 60 barring some fluke of math.
That being said, I'm at 31 right now, so 9 more the gold cruiser blueprint seems feasible (and they're generally an irritation to come by if you're not actively looking for them--I want to finish retrofitting Exeter if that makes sense).

Watch out folks, I just got dunked by the amended Daily Reset period. It's been bumped back an hour from midnight PDST to 11:00pm PST.

They basically went DST is stupid and changing always causes problems so the daily reset is midnight PDT or MST depending on if DST is in effect. As someone who lives in AZ it is pretty having a game on your timezone for a change.
So I searched this thread and tried to make sure that nobody talked about the PC/PS4 game before and couldn't find anything about it. I didn't think it was appropriate to ask in the PS4/PSN thread I wanted to ask here. Please let me know if it isn't appropriate here either. But has anybody have any knowledge of the PS4/PC game Crosswave that is coming out in 2020? I have seen some promo videos and it looks interesting and pre-orders just went live today for the PS4 version on Limited Run Games.
I played the mobile game for a while, but eventually had to quit due to me getting way too addicted to it. So I figured that the PS4 version looks different enough and doesn't seem to have the same gameplay as the mobile version so I won't get as addicted.

Divergent Chessboard post-event wrap-up: Having obtained Tirpitz and Graf Zeppelin the first time around (the big prizes, I'd argue), in this second go I was able to obtain all the remaining Iron Blood limited time ships, including Z25, U-47 (apparently the best submarine in the game, or close to it?), Scharnhorst (to join her sister), and limit-breaking and retrofitting Z1 (probably could've done that at any time but now was particularly convenient thanks to drops), along with the real prize, Graf Zeppelin's sad mini-partner!
A marked improvement over my failure to secure Hiei a couple events ago.

Indeed. There's the Belfast part, which is 1) "Check in" to get the Manjuu working and then complete the daily task to make progress toward the outfit, and 2) oil consumption goals for more minor goodies with a new reward unlocking each day.
Hololive collab events:
- "Looking Glass of Fact and Fiction" event campaign.
- "Good Morning Azur Lane": Seven-day event quest awards event furnitures. What mission will the wheel assign you today?
- "HOLOLIVE Resistance": Match-3 minigame which awards exclusive gear.
- "Mio's Divination Hall": Guest ship event. Accumulate FP to earn rewards and eventually earn the guest for good.
- "Port Terminal": Overarching event mission which rewards one final furnishing.
New ships:
- Limited Construction: Tokino Sora, (SR), Shirakami Fubuki (SR rate up), Minato Aqua (SR rate up), Natsuiro Matsuri (Elite rate up), Nakiri Ayame (Elite rate up)
- Event rewards: Tokino Sora (SR, 8,000 TNT Points), Murasaki Shion (SR, TNT Point milestones), Ookami Mio (Elite, guest unit earned with Friendship Points)
- December's login rewards will be Arashio.
More stuff:
- Hololive gear skin boxes (rip money ;_; )
- Hololive dorm furniture set
- Core Shop update: No.100/150 High Octane Fuel, Landing Guidance
