Even if you cleared the map with ease, it does not change the fact that the map is filled by Ru-class Flagship BB in dangerous formations such as Line Ahead and Double Line. With those conditions, unless one has a high level fleet, there is always a fairly high chance the enemy BB manage to hit your ships and send your fleet home, no matter how heavy that fleet is. Luckily, for most nodes there is a small chance for the enemy to appear in a less threatening formation too, but even if one survives the pre-boss nodes, there is the completely random compass to overcome too, which is no easy challenge either without some luck.

To be honest, I too did clear the map with ease, it took me only 1 total sortie to clear it. However, those 2 earlier factors are large enough to make 3-4 one of the hardest maps in the game outside of events. Of course, it is not comparable to the likes of 5-3 and 5-5, but it is a difficult map. Personally, I'd say 3-4 is probably the 4th most difficult map to clear in the game (again, outside of event maps).
