Neat touch with the flightdeck's receiver, grip and stock being based on the Carl Gustaf m/45 submachine gun. Her Navy dirk is swapped for a m/1914 bayonet as well.

My starter and beloved is Samidare

Yeah, that's right.

And incase you NOOBS don't know

Samidare has been:
-Given no extra art of any kind
-her artist has not been contacted for any future artwork
-Her voice actor had went on sick leave and probably won't come back for her
-she has NO actual merchandising
-she was CUT from the anime blu-ray (her appearance was a literal 1 scene background character)
-she barely has any new lines
-her popularity isn't even a quarter of most starters
-in the arcade game, even her npc sprite can be replaced by Fubuki

Bet you guys feel reeeeeeeal grateful about your choices now, don't you?

Heh, hard being a Samidare admiral eh?

This is why I keep posting on Devs' twitter "Samidare Kai Ni When". But I honestly don't see it happening any time soon.

The only thing keeping me going is my undying love for her. Although, I kinda stopped playing cause there really is no hope.

Due to all those factors, there’s really no chance of it happening. If it was only 1 problem, maybe, but Samidare unfortunately got the shortest end of the shortest stick. I’m actually surprise they didn’t try to just wipe her from the game or something.

In every other game that had Shipgirls(Azur, warship, etc) Samidare doesn’t exist.

But isn't Samidare already perfect?

It's just like that "Sami? Dare?" joke-- 「だれ」dare　meaning "who?"

Still, she gets enough love to get a fan song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQvqgcGx6jw
