Whoever said that E-5 Hard was easy, was high on heavy-duty drugs and booze.

I'm doing E-5 Medium, 6 runs to enter Last Dance. 3 clean kills, 3 A ranks with less than 100 hp left on boss. No support expedition. Node F in Line Ahead always chuuha/taiha someone, sparkle or no sparkle. The failed kills were precisely the ones when the CV was pwned by BB Hime, preventing her shelling turns.

CAV, 2DD, FBB, CLT, CV, grabbing both resource nodes. Due to shiplock limitations, I'm using full night DA setups.

Now, here's something I don't quite understand. Consider these setups:

Kongou Kai Ni (91): 2x 36.5cm (+8) + T98 Night Scout + T91 AP shell

Ooi Kai Ni (123): 2x OTO 152mm + Hyoteki

Yuudachi Kai Ni (87): 2x 10cm HAFD + T13 air radar Kai

Akatsuki Kai Ni (75): 2x 12.7cm HALM + T13 air radar Kai

In day combat, both Yuudachi and Ooi deal more damage to BB Hime with their single attacks than Kongou with her AP cut-in or double attack. Akatsuki sometimes does it too, to a lesser extent. Shouldn't the AP shell give some kind of bonus to break enemy armor? Even more, since her guns are fit and are upgraded to 8 stars! And her night battle performance ... simply pathetic, nothing more than scratches!

Night Scout instead of normal recon seaplane doesn't seem to affect the AP cut-in trigger rate.
