This event is, er, um, unforgettable. Not in a good way. This is hands down THE most resource-draining event I have participated in. Also the one with the most bugs. And the unfriendliest to  newbies... You know, I managed to get a friend of mine to join KanColle about a month ago, in hopes that she might get to experience a good event. That did not happen.

E1: If you've got FCF you're good to go. If you don't? Have fun with BB Hime/CV Hime if you choose Hard. And most importantly, why isn't Ooyodo a drop at E1 boss? It's bad enough that you make the very first map of the event a combined fleet map, and you wouldn't even give the newbies a chance to obtain a very important kanmusu and her equipment (which is vital for combined fleet). What were you thinking, devs?

E2: Type 3 Shell is our lord and savior. That is all. Okay, I was lucky and managed to clear E2 hard with no WG, 1 Ka-Mi and 1 tank, and in about 11 runs. But I heard so many other TTKs complain about this map so I think it's safe to say that this isn't a well-designed map.

E3: I kind of like this map? Because of Kamikaze, and U-511 & Shioi being in easily accessible nodes. I don't like Transport Escort combined fleet though, but that's no news.

E4: Probably the best designed map of this event. Doesn't rely on LBAS planes or the support fleets, which is the way things should be, really.

E5: I hate this map. Were it not for the 3rd land base it would unlock, I would have ignored this damn map. It's absolutely infuriating when you hear the siren that signals an enemy air raid. As if I could spare a squadron! I need all the help I could get for the boss node, so it's bye-bye to resources.

E6: Absolute. Bullshit. It doesn't fricking matter who you put in your fleet, it's all up to the dive bombers. Ridiculous.

E7: This map actually feels okay, but maybe that's because I suffered through E6 first. To be honest though, E7 relies too much on LBAS. I was so lucky that Harukaze chose to come to my base on my first E7 run. I like Oyashio but was not lucky enough to find her before I ran out of bauxite. Next time maybe, hopefully.

I have always relied on natural regeneration, and this is the first time I ran out of resources before the event ended, farming included. I think I had more fun in the Summer 2015 event... Even with the random compass, the debuff mechanism that reset every day. Yeah. Here's to hoping Summer 2016 would be better.
