Not only that, it's no problem giving the CLs the 20.3cm guns. I only use the yellow 15.5cm on my CLTs. My CLs get the 20.3cm no2 and no3 guns.

There is little to no penalty if you even put 2 46cm, but no other main cannon.
The problem becomes more real if you have 3 cannons with 2 46 though.

Woops, woke up late by about 40 minutes and missed the lottery to get in. There's another one in two days, so hopefully I won't oversleep this time.

And I am now doing the E5.
I think it's easier to manage than the last event due to the freedom to use what we wish this time around without the locking mechanic being a problem this time around. The actual difficulty of the map though is no easier than E6 Midway, although there's no night fighting Carrier hime this time around...

I am going with the bruteforce approach. 3BB1FBB2CVL for first fleet, 1CL 1FBB2DD2CLT for the second. I find that support expedition en-route is more important than the boss node one.

Update: 6 tries, S rank on 6th try, A rank on third.
Update2: Srank boss 7th try. Support expedition en-route is indispensable.
Update3: Srank boss 8th try.
Update4: Arank boss 9th try.
Update5: Brank boss 10th 11th try. Killing phase.

Anyone knows how to avoid maelstrom node from E-2? I equipped 2 radars but It doesn't seem to reduce the loss at all

[Kakurin]

There is a maelstrom in E2? What's your composition?

[KBTKaiser]

the first node northwest is a fuel spill, yeah.

I've found that 2 FBB, 2 CV, 2 CVL takes you A F H I

[Kakurin]

Likewise 2 DD, 2 FBB and 2 CV takes the AFHI road.

[panzerfan]

Hmm. I am getting into some trouble by the very end of E5. I can't allow for T disadvantage to make that final kill. Will do the 13th try with some adjustment on the CVL loadout since enemy drops out Wos for BB Hime instead, and I can reduce my Reppuu load.

My team is 1BB 1 BBV 2CLT 1DD 1CV. Who should I switch out?

[risingstar3110]

What is this again? Some sort of medal?

[Klashikari]

Indicates the player has finished E5 in hard mode.

[demino_hellsin]

Those guys work fast... I actually spent the day getting my teitoku level to 80 so I can try for the hardest difficulty. Now I'm just trying to figure out if LoS is needed to get past E-1

Pretty hard event for beginners even on easy then with those battleships at almost every node...

The way through the malstrom is actually the safest as you encounter less battleships.
But yeah I always sail through it too, even though I have a total LoS of almost 200 so its very likely the ship composition.

Something like the stronger the ships the more likely you areto get there, as my intial team went the other way.

Use a ship with a recon plane btw it makes getting to the bosnode a 100% thing.

I'm right now on E2, you have LoS check in E1 and E2.

Ok for future reference before I fail again...
Do ALL bosses get stronger once their global HP bar is down or is it just the carrier in E2?

Boss node during events are more difficult once you can destroy the gauge bar. Either the boss evolves or get better escorts of both depending of the event and the boss.


Current progress:
E5: 22 runs, reached the boss 4 four times, never could fully sink (best damage: 255, overall damage: 826).
30K/18K/30K/3K and 108 buckets.
Kirishima / Musashi / Yamato / Nagato / Chiyoda / Junyou
Yahagi / Bismarck / Yuudachi / Yukikaze / Ooi / Kitakami

This will be more expensive than summer E6 and I'm not sure if I will be able to keep it up. The problem isn't really the event duration but really the complete wall I've been hitting thus far, despite using map support fleet.

All the final bosses from E-2 onwards have a final form, apparently in all difficulties.

Do we even need to fully sink them or just deplete their global HP bar?
But yeah consumption wise this event is a real horror. the 10K fuel you get are not really a good compensation...

Amagi and U511 are really the only reason I didn't quit yet.

You have to sink the boss itself if you want to finish the map. Merely depleting the gauge is not enough.
