San Shikidens are a godsend for E-2. Out of all my runs on the boss it was my CAs with the type 3 shells that could in one double attack clear the boss from full health. Most fights were decided by wether or not I managed to keep one of them from getting too badly damaged in the fights before.

And if you just go full on offensive with your formation (Possible sub node aside) then you can force your way through fairly often. If you feel you need if and have lots of extra resources then support expeditions may be worthwhile (though I'd save them till the last boss kill if you're having trouble with it, they do eat a lot of resources after all.
