E-2 Report. Day 1: IF there is anything I've learned about this map it's that it's VERY CRUEL. Both in terms of requirements and potential difficulty. I constantly become subjected to derailment from enemy fleets during the map because of one of two factors. RNG damage, or support fleets doing NOTHING to help me.
And before you asked, I was told I should try support fleets for AL-2. And while I was feeling rather objective to the whole idea, I decided to go with it by using a fleet I didn't give much concern to.
Turns out I was incorrect the whole time. Support Fleets sent to AL / MI that DON'T have the AL or MI marker WILL NOT COUNT as AL or MI participants.
With this factor known I now know I can actually send my fleets there to assist in damaging the enemy in route to the harbor without wasting kanmusus for future event areas!
This did turn the tide and I was able to finally face the embodiment of evil this map had....
This little girl.... The Northern Princess. I was successful 6 time. But only managed to completely kill her off 5/6 times. Course that means I still have to beat her down two more times....
Here's hoping I can get this done right. Because right after this was failure after failure. I couldn't reach her no matter what. So I'm loosing ammo at a gradual pace. Hopefully I'll be able to do something about this... but we'll see... So yeah I'm going to try again tonight...
Also using RJ, Junyou, Atago, Takao, Michishio and Hamakaze. (And yes, the LoS there need MORE LoS if you use destoyers, thus now quad saiun, and 3 Type 22 radars and seaplanes. Plus Type 3 shells, because this little monster of evil is weak to the effects of this ammo.
Probably will do another stream tonight, but I'll keep it short (I have a dental appointment tomorrow)
