Hi, I've been using your guide through most of this event to help me out, especially with equipment setups. And I've managed to do Hard, Hard, Hard, Normal, and now am attempting hard mode for E5. However I've been having issues trying to unlock the hidden start point. I've managed to do the perfect air base defence but I can't seem to manage to S-rank node A. After maybe 30ish runs I've only managed to S-rank node A once, and that was also the only time I've even reached it. Generally I get critically damaged on node G when the Wo's one-shot several of my ships, but on the few runs that they haven't I end up with several moderately damaged ships that get hit to red at the following two nodes. Do you have any advice for trying to beat node A? I'm a little concerned by time constraints but also my resources are running low. I Have 144k Fuel, 100k Steel, 40k Ammo, and 38k Bauxite but the real issue is I only have 129 Buckets left. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just that I should switch to a lower difficulty to guarantee that i clear the event and get Saratoga.

Also I look forward to hopefully using your guides again next event, if you manage to find the time to make one.

Below is my current composition.
