User blog comment:Shinhwalee/World 4-3 Power Level Guide for DD & CL/@comment-84.90.161.45-20150718222341

Yea, well ... Yesterday I finished with my 3-2-A grinds, all the relevant CAs are at final remodel. So, I figured that it's time to turn to my DD/CLs, who have been bored to death at the dorms.

Starting with Mutsuki, lvl 50 solely from expeditions, fully modernized (except AA). I'm using Formation #2 (DD + 2 CLT + BB + 2 CV).

Mutsuki K1 (50): T3 DC + 2x T3 SONAR

Ooi K2 (107) & KTKM K2 (107): OTO 152mm + T93 SONAR + Hyoteki <- slots 2 & 3, same as PvP fleet, just change sonar for 15.5cm sec

Mutsu K1 (65): 46cm + 15.5cm sec + T0 Obs + T91 AP

Akagi K1 (83): T62FB (20/20) + Reppuu 601 (32) + Saiun (10) <- slot 5, same as PvP fleet, just change T62FB for Ryuusei 601 + Reppuu

Kaga K1 (98): T62FB (20/20) + Reppuu 601 (46) + Reppuu (12) <- slot 6, same as PvP fleet, same changes as Akagi

Only did 2 runs so far. First run, Mutsuki takes MVP on first node, then loses it to a CLT on the second node. Second run, Mutsuki gets rekt by the opening torpedo of the single elite sub on the enemy composition, which is in echelon formation, on the first node. Almost 2 hours of bath/repair. Not using buckets, because event.

Even with 80 bombers, the airstrikes are very weak, barely killing anything (this only on sub nodes, haven't gone to node J yet). Considering changing them for Suiseis or better.

I guess RNG is not happy today. Even my lvl 107 CLTs took a beating during PvP, with 100 morale and against lower lvl non-married opponents.
