Woah. No wonder he is quite scarce over at the wiki comment here. Please tell PunPun that I wish him to get well soon.

I just finished off the Night Strait Hime. And from my experience, on Medium, the Nishimura (southern) route is more preferable than the Shima (northern) route. Using north route, I was only able to get to boss once. The rest I either got TCI'd back to base by submarines in node T, or had one of my DDs slapped in the face to taiha by some disgusting Heavy Cruiser in node Z8 =_=. Some nodes also has submarine killer ships in echelon/line abreast, which is dangerous for your sub, even in vanguard formation.

Here is my E4N midboss kill run:



On Medium, in order to take Nishimura route, you only need 4 members of Nishimura fleet and three DDs. Also take care to maintain LoS above 26, else you get routed to R. In the fleet I'm using, while the rest of the fleet has green tag, Yamagumo is not green tagged, thus enabling me to take Nishimura route (you'll start north/Shima route if you use 7-ship fleet with green tags).

The good thing about Nishimura route is, it's shorter, and once you got through node Y with a healthy submarine, there is virtually no more threat for your surface ships as the enemies in Z9 all the way to ZZ2 are DD/CL/PT. Your sub needs to be healthy, though.

Well, that's just an input from mine - an alternative, should you experience difficulty with northern route. Best of luck with the event, buddy! Salut! ( '^')>
