How I do E-6:

Pray and pray and pray that my CVLs don't get targeted.

Watch my CVLs get targeted.

Ragequit.

They are just way too vulnerable. Everything else in my fleet can survive node H with just scratch damage, but the CVLs go red every single time. I guess damecon is an option, but that means even fewer planes (I would use damecon so much more often if it didn't require a friggin slot...). Maybe I could make one of them the flagship but that means I'll lose the advantage when going to yasen.

Well, I'll go back to grinding them and try again I guess. Right now I'm using Jun'you and Chiyoda at 81 and 83 respectively (Jun'you was level 60 when this event started, Chiyoda in the mid-70s...). Why did I have to commit my best two CVLs to AL...

Actual useful information:

3 BB, 1 CAV (and presumably CA too, but I haven't tested it), and 2 CVL seems to follow the same route as the more popular 3 BB, 1 CLT, and 2 CVL combo. I like it because Tone does really good daytime damage with double attacks, is tougher than a CLT, but it still quite formidable at night. And I've got skilled carrier-based maintenance personnel equipped on her, which increases her shelling damage further. Why would it do that, you ask? Hey, I didn't make the rules...

BTW, have you heard Tone's line when adding her to your fleet during this event? I've been holding off on using her until now, but it's the best.
