Ngl i probably would skip this event, like these arent even shipgirls anymore, where did the ww2 naval history went? and even worst they are forcing the french to look more like IB which damage their suppossed faction identity.
Now dont get me wrong, the character herself looks sexy and well drawn and the rigging is cool as fuck but i would lie if I say this is a proper shipgirl design, specially for the rigging as well. It feels like with each UR they released they just make an even bigger rigging as a second thought.
It still ties into WWII history, just not like others. They are real ships, but they're ones that never materialised.

Oh, what a barker who just shows off his knowledge of history. In addition, in my experience, these "historical knowledge flaunters" do not have some precise understanding of the history they are talking about, and are nothing more than a group of vanities who want to gain praise from others on the so-called "historical knowledge" they may have acquired from academic garbage. AL is not a vassal of history. If I have to say "where did history go", then I would like to say where "your as an ordinary person with at least a normal mind and no epilepsy" history has gone.

Its no more 1 to 1 history the instant they renamed their factions. Ironblood's lack of nazism, Sardegna being pretty much Rome x the Vatican, and Iris being hinted to be a theocratic monarchy are the biggest clues. And you have the alt history China. And I am fine with it.

I find it actually like a little touch for detail. Alsace (and Lorraine) was occupied by germany for 40 years and switched between France and germany multiple times. So Alsace as an Iris girl with a touch of Iron blood is a awesome detail for me

What does the region of Alsace has to do with a warship called Alsace? If Alsalce herself was captured by the germans or being designed using german BP as inspiration that would make more sense.

a -18 and -4 joker. Here's the best summary for you - IQ and EQ are even lower than Tsar Peter III and Austrian Emperor (not the Holy Roman Empire) Ferdinand I.
Meanwhile, I had been led to believe that ship construction is the primary means via which you're meant to get new units in Kantai Collection, and that outside of your starter ship and a select few early quest rewards like Shirayuki and Akagi, there's no surefire guaranteed way to get any ship - Myschi said that event rewards in KC aren't randomized, but I distinctly remember people making references in comics and comments to having to run events multiple times in order to get what they wanted. And I haven't seen any reference made to players being able to trade shipgirls between each other.
You're confusing rewards and drops. At every node there is a random chance to obtain a drop character and who can drop varies by map and node on the map. A reward is obtained for conquering the map and is 100% guaranteed for the achievement. New characters are split between rare drops and map rewards for events.
Quite a large number of characters are obtainable as drops. Some may be limited to drops during events, but that's still playing the game for a random reward.
Im not aware if you are still play KC but thats was my experience and pretty much what i tend to heard from other who start the game in the last 4 years.
I've never played Kantai Collection at all, or any other gacha game for that matter. That's why I've been qualifying many of my statements with things like "as far as I know" or "I had been led to believe" - I'm well aware that there are gaps in my knowledge because most of what I know about KC comes secondhand from reading fan comics on Danbooru and the comments on said comics and fan art. However, I've been using Danbooru since well before Kantai Collection was even published in the first place, so I was around to watch KC's initial rise to fame and have been reading what other people - both its fans and its detractors - have been saying about it the entire time. People have been criticizing Kantai Collection's skinner box mechanics and exploitation of "collectable waifus" as a marketing stunt since day 1, and the term "gacha game" was coined by critics of Kantai Collection before there even were any other gachas to compare to (at least not any of remotely comparable popularity), so these aren't just accusations based on surface-level similarities to other games, they've been part of the dialogue surrounding Kantai Collection for over a decade.

I have search the word gacha and people used that word before KC tho, and so far nobody calls KC a gacha game back then, the whole discussion is around if KC is just a soulless cashgrab that just panders to horny otakus, later on discussions around gacha and kc would be about if KC is trully more f2p compare to other games that at the time were gachas like GBF and FGO. Relying on pass accounts of people who clearly didnt like KC to use as a validation for KC being a gachs is a phallacy, tho i too cant escape from phallacies as well.
I can see KC as a precursor to modern gachas but i still insist that unless KC really changes its monetization to be focus on the use of the construction polls to get limited characters using direct ingame rcs it would probably would still not be considered a gacha, like KC you need to play the game in order to get something, a regular gacha game you need to pay(either ingame free currency or directed bought with irl money) in order to get a character so you can either decide to play with or not and i think this is the best way i can make the difference between something like KC and something like a gacha game.
Lmao. Does people hadn't know that gacha games sort of exist along side with Kancolle? Most back then in DMM were R18 games. Also KanColle is basically a RNG simulator, where your luck matters. Burning huge amount of "resources" for a small chance to get them either in maps or construction has seriously taken the toll of many admirals back then. Some even actually waste money.

I can see newbies back in the pre phase 2 era doing such thing tbh since the game was pretty much that with all the lack of things to put the odds in your favour and people thinking they could rush the game like it was a gacha game. Also there is not reason to use construction now unless we are talking about getting Maruyus and Yamato-class BBs or daily quests.
The "powerful Ukraine" is always successful on the Internet, but in reality it is the opposite.
That statement says more about the Russian incompetence than anything, considering that two years later they still aren't even close to winning the war.

But the strong American army still lost to the Chinese in North Korea and then to the Vietnamese in Vietnam Does this also indicate the incompetence of the Americans?
Ukraine was building up their army since 2014. They may not have been Russia powerful, but they weren't a weak army. And while Russia botched their initial offensive, they're proving good at holding the territory they took from Ukraine.

Minefields that are miles thick tend to be effective, but also shows how little they care about what they're conquering outside of simple increasing the size on a map. It's highly doubtful they'll spend time and money clearing them, as such the poor people who live in those areas will now have unknown decades of deaths caused by those mines.

The equipment of the Ukrainian military in 2014 remained almost at the level of the Soviet military in the 1980s, and their poor politics led to a large portion of the troops in Crimea surrendering to Russia
