tfw E-5 Hard is actually hard
Seriously.

Though the sub strat saves me a lot of frustration on the night battle node, getting my Shioi to not get shot to red in the very first node is another sort of frustration I have to deal with. And then you also have to deal with the fact that the boss node is hard to sink the boss in without boss support. Because of this, I dropped the pair for more firepower with more BBs. The double aerial combat node is proving to be not a problem whatsoever, since my ships tend to be good with dodging aircraft carriers :V

What happened to your archives? The most recent video I can see is E-3.

I'm getting the impression something is going wrong with the way Livestream is saving my recordings and may have accidentally removed them, that or they have been delayed as I have been streaming for each day pretty much. So I'm not sure when or if the recordings will be up as I've already done E-3, E-4, and E-5.

And now I'm going to wind down E-6 so that deliver the final kill "Hopefully" tonight.

I've also decided it would be wise to hold off my report till I've completed the whole thing since I'm on the verge of completing this. This event has been too easy for me. :P
That's one small step for man, one giant leap for Otaku Kind.

E-3 and E-4 Easy have been cleared! Although E-3 turned out to be rather uneventful, I was fully prepared to receive copious amounts of sanity damage during E-4.

E-4 took a total of 8 sorties, which went rather smoothly despite only having all of one Type 3 Shell. I lost Air Superiority only once, but otherwise Aerial Combat went without incident... I had to fill most of my Carrier's slots with Type 52s, but Kongou, Kirishima and Yamashiro had more than enough combined firepower to compensate for my CVs' Fighter Power setups.



I'm very satisfied right now. I didn't exactly have high expectations to begin with, but everything is going much better than expected. I'm tempted to return to E-1 for farming purposes, but I'm going to press onward to E-5.

The plan was to start the event yesterday but things didn't really go as planned, so I'm gonna try and start today.  Did my research and now I've got a pretty good idea of what I need to do for the first 5 maps.  I figure since E-6 accepts any ships regardless of locking, I can plan for it later.
 
I bought some points on the English site today. (All my previous point purchases occurred on the Japanese site.) The site asked me to re-enter my credit card information. They did display the type and last four digits of the card number that I had used previously, from their records. After that it allowed me to buy points just like the Japanese site. Buying 2000 points gave me a bonus of 20 points, so with the 200 points I had before the purchase, my point total afterward was 2220.
Saw this yesterday and tried it myself, and it worked~  This is gonna save me a lot of trouble in the future.  Two dock expansions gave me plenty of breathing room, especially once I use all those spare CV/CVLs I'm saving for modernization.

Late with posting this, but I got my final kill on E-4 Easy with only 1 retreat during my two attempts of killing the boss:



Haguro with the final kill!

I'm just gonna chill for a bit to get my supplies back in order then probably stream E-5 Easy if I don't end up botching up my supplies, also getting Kongou her Kai Ni.

*something something Littorio too stronk*



Yay medal!

Yaaay, I was getting tired of her spamming that voice line every hit \o/ Somehow my stocks of bucket and fuel barely went down. Expeditions and missions probably helped a bunch. Bauxite took major damage, though. Kirishima also dropped halfway through the last attempt, so now I only need Kongou to unlock that 4th fleet.

Looking up E-5, that 381mm/50 triple gun mount kai for medium clear looks super tasty, buuuut way too many flagships, and my resources aren't exactly prepared to deal with a remodeled flagship Wo again ;_; Looks like there's only one (light) carrier before the boss in Easy though, so I guess I can afford a standard carrier or two for this map.

Edit: Damn, Anchorage Water Demon is tough. I paired Mogami with a lv1 Mikuma to get that guaranteed 3-battles route, and the easiness of the route was compensated by how well the boss could shred my fleet, both in day and night battle. Especially night ;_; and during night battle she seems pretty resistant to non-sanshiki damage, so looks like I'm swapping Hibiki for Tone to carry sanshiki. Mikuma's too squishy and blows up in 1 hit, and the BBs are too important for killing the boss' escorts to deviate from their current loadout.

As usual, I can't air superiority the boss node without some serious investment ;_;

I went down from Medium to Easy after some failed attempts and I'm still only just passed the halfway point in E-5's boss gauge with my fuel and buckets rapidly going.

This is truly hell. ;>;

Went pretty much as anyone would expect when pretty much rushing it for no good reason. Took 11 sorties in total. First 2 were just me trying to avoid damecons. First through evasion sub and then through no sub. Afterwards I just used the start composition with 4 battleships. I used both Yamatos, Nagato and Bismarck with standard two biggest main guns, sanshiki and best seaplanes. Ended up using 2 damecons though it's pretty feasible to avoid using any at all if you're patient.

I'll start E-6 tomorrow.

Attempt #1 to get the last kill on E-5: 4 dropped to red, 1 orange, the only healthy one was Mikuma the nearly useless flagship, and boss still roughly 257 hp left out of 430.

Game is hard.

Edit: Yeah I'm not going to clear E-6 am I

Finally beat E-5 on Easy last night, but I'm giving me and my girls a break until Friday.

As of now, I've beaten every difficulty at least once this event, haha. I'll probably stick to Easy for E-6 as I'd intended though.

Currently slightly more that half way through the boss' hp. Will continue wednesday night and then type up my thoughts on E-6.
