Whoops, sorry. Yeah, it's E-3 Hard.

Seaplane fighter is rather situational, IMO. There is also the option to have CAV carry both seaplane fighter and seaplane scout, thereby maintaining the daytime DA and AA boost - at the cost of doing next to no damage to installations. Although, in combined fleet, the main killers will be the escort fleet anyway... Also - have to point this out since I see you equip Kumano w/ night scout - I think night scout will not trigger with Air Parity? Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm right, it's all the more reason to try secure AS at E3H boss.

And no, I haven't tried the "Reppu mule" compo. I don't even consider it because I want my all girls to be able to attack. Should the LBAS and support expedition fail to clean up the trash, the opening air strike will give another chance.

BTW, I'm the person who just got Aquila earlier, after your guide. :)
