What's the point of bringing guns on Ōyodo though? She can never use them. Every node has a sub and none of them battleships. So she always fires her first and only shot at the sub.

It was meant to be a precaution against the surface ships in node G. Although I quickly dropped the idea and went line abreast along the way. And didn't change her equips because I was too lazy to do so

And... I also forgot that she'll always be the first to attack in this lineup until the sixth run, which was also my last encounter with node G

[Klashikari]

E1: 6 runs (Hamakaze keep getting Chuuha, and got a bit too eager in protecting her cookies and get Taiha-ed), 6 bukets.
Composition: 1CL, 5DD. Some friends tried 2CL and 4DD, but you cannot get the LOS check to go directly from west node to the boss.
1CL 5DD requires LOS to directly go to the boss from the west node though.

E2: 14 runs, 41 buckets (Double Ru at the second node was the bane of me)
Composition: First 1DD, 2 CA(V), 1FBB, 1CV, 1CVL then switched to 2FBB, 2CV, 2CVL. The latter worked much better for me, even if 2CVL looks crazy with the double Ru node.

Engaging E3 right now.

[Kakurin]

I'm wondering if E1 has a scaling according to the ship level. It seems that people who bring low-leveled DDs needed fewer runs than me who came in with my medium leveled ones. The CL flagship of node G was the only rough spot for me with that torpedo attack forcing all three retreats I had.

[AC-Phoenix]

E2 After boss - boss survived with 24 HP


Ouch?
My magic 8 ball forsees a huge ressource drain and long docking times in my near future.

Also does E2 have some kind of level restriction?
I changed my fleet setup a bit and suddenly can't deploy anymore :/

I kinda doubt myressources will be able to maintain the fleet necessary to beat E2 lol

Remember you've got two weeks. So don't panic yet. You should be fine.
Run expeditions and you should be okay.

Yeah running Exp 5 as often as I can :/

I just have to continuesly end the sortie because the battlehsip on node F hits one of my ships down to critical...
And mutsu.. Well she takes her sweet time one shotting destroyers

For my own destroyers the map seems to be particulary bad though...

Edit: also I'm starting to see what people are talking about regarding Akagi's Bauxite consumption...

[Kakurin]

E2 cleared. 16 sorties for 8 victories. Net reduction of resources by about 8000 fuel, 3000 ammo, 6000 steel, 2000 bauxite and 26 buckets. Drops were forgettable (Fusō, Hatsukaze, Agano, Uzuki, Hamakaze and Chikuma).

Fleet:
Akizuki (81) - 2x 10cm with AAFD, 1x radar
Kongō (118) - 1x 41cm, 1x 41cm prototype, 1x Type 0 observation, Type 91 AP
Haruna (98) - 2x 41cm, 1x Type 0 observation, Type 91 AP
Hiryū (96) - 1x Ryūsei Kai, 1x Reppu, 1x Reppu 601, 1x Type 99 Egusa
Taihō (72) - 1x Ryūsei Kai, 2x Reppu, 1x Suisei 601
Yūdachi (87) - 2x 10cm, 1x Type 94 AAFD

[Ithekro]

Not much art for Asashimo, yet. Half a ton for U-511.

[panzerfan]

E2 cleared with 7 wins total. I did it with about 11 sorties. Drops weren't anything special either except for Asagumo.

[Kakurin]

The Japanese wikiwiki lists Kayano Ai as Katori's seiyū.

[Klashikari]

E3: 6 runs, 24 buckets.
Composition: 1 CAV, 2FBB, 3 CV and 1 CL, 4DD, 1CLT

E4: 7 runs, 8K/5K/7K/1K 31 buckets
Composition: Yukikaze / Yamato / Musashi / Kiso / Akizuki / Taihou

For the moment, E2 was the most annoying map for me. Now the "problem" is E5.

Yeah, I think it is definitely her. Likewise, Yu's seiyuu is also Kayanon.

Niconico as always has the voice collection of the girls up in a hurry:

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

Pretty certain that Amagi's done by Horie Yui. As mentioned above Katori's by Kayano Ai, U-511 surely also. No idea regarding Asashimo.

[cloud04]

uhh why does unryuu class not have a flight deck instead?

[chaosprophet]

Finished E-1 on Medium after 8 tries. Twice I got heavy damage and had to retreat. And twice I reached the boss but wasn't able to kill it. In the end, different from my first impression, I got quite a lot of difficulty on it.

My boss drops were: Soryuu, Kirishima, Fusou, Kitakami. Only the first one I didn't have.

At least I will treasure the special reppu as I had yet to get anything better than the 52 plane.

What is the valentine chocolate used for?

Use it to get 700 of each res and 1500 Baux. (correct me if I remember the amounts wrong, used it and didn't pay too much attention)

[Klashikari]

As far as it goes, E5 difficulty compared to the other maps is as whacky as AL/MI E6.
Whereas E1-4 aren't exactly impressive whatsoever, E5 is a major PITA. Nagano and the tsu class in the first node completely wreck the escort.

I think I will switch to Surface battle fleet, because the first node punish you way too much if you have the regular combined fleet.

So we sell the chocolate given by the ship-girls...

Thanks for the info.

See it like this. We ate the handmade chocolate that was given to us and as a small token of gratitude we go out for dinner with them to treat them to some delicious bauxite.

Am I the only one who loves the anime ED music for the boss battles?
Makes it seem really epic.
