Yay, I finally cleared E-7 (and this event) on hard (HQ Level 120)! ^_^

In the past, I have critized the difficulty of previous events, those being too easy on hard difficulty, especially for very high/max level admirals. However, I cannot say this for the current event. E-3 was already quite the struggle, and after it a comparable one (E-4). E-5 and E-6 were a bit too easy though, even supposed to be EO maps! Unsurprisingly, E-7 was the real terror though. Not when it comes to sortie count or frequency of being sent back home by an enemy vessel. No.. The amount of resources it took to clear the map and how troll compass-chan was, was something I never could've imagined. I spent about 70-80k fuel/ammo on clearing just this one map. That amount is enough to FULLY clear the previous events TWICE. Besides that, being sent to the "wrong" path right off the bat (node B with carrier task force) was a bit frustrating as well. (Also, from node J to node Y...) I much prefer a guaranteed path with tougher nodes to pass than easier enemies with no guaranteed routing. Retreating almost immediately after you hit that sortie button hurt my girls' morale. :((

All in all, I think this event was quite satisfying. New mechanics were introduced, interesting and refreshing ones (mainly boss debuff and airplanes leveling). Though rewards were a bit lacking this time.. :/ I'm quite curious what exactly the prototype catapult is used for. :O

Difficulty wise: E-7 is no.1 of course, after it comes E-3/E-4, then E-6, E-5, E-2, E-1 imo.
