Finished E-4 hard mode just now. The CV Princess was horrible (no, I haven't attempted E-5 because my sanity is in short supply but I do know the boss is even more horrible).

Took nine sorties, using Naka for southern routing alongside my second-in-command Fubuki, Akizuki, Nagato, and Ikkousen for air dominance.

Amongst eight boss encounters, I only managed to kill the boss three times (Nagato twice, including final kill, the second was Akizuki). The only retreat I had were because Wa-flagship vaporized my Fubuki, I didn't even...

I was quite astonished Akizuki could kill a still moderately damaged Ru-Kai (and dying CV Princess), courtesy of critical attacks and low-number roll for their armor.

I was also astonished, that amongst 8 boss encounters, I only saw AA cut-in proc ONCE, and when it proc'd, it sent both DD into Taiha state. ( e_e)
