Carriers rock on E-2. The "advice" to avoid them on this wiki is frankly terrible.

Also, I'm somewhat amused by all these people who don't even attempt the north route. It's seriously not that bad. I regularly go S ranks with no significant damage to my fleet on that node. Two of my boss kills were after going north. In a way I found Maya more annoying becuase I swear she has a higher crit rate. And her crits were enough to put any of my ships in the red, forcing me to head home. I never had that problem going north.

But then, I was using carriers which could clean up all the small fry on the opening attack and did more damage to those BBs than anything else in my fleet. Maybe if you take the no-carrier "advice" then the north route seems especially hard...

Also, do line abreast always except perhaps the boss node. Best defense is a good offense.
