Cleared E-2 Hard mode with 9 sorties (1 retreat on the final kill, 1 failure to kill the boss on the final kill). It really was an easier version of 6-2, although at the final kill the Air Battle was quite large and it really caught me offguard. I was thinking that there'd only be a Wo-Kai and a Wo-Takoyaki, but instead there was a Wo-Kai + 2 Wo-Takoyaki...

I probably had some quite significant luck with me, as my fleet managed to get past the double Flagship Ru-class node 8 times in 9 sorties - when I farmed 6-2 for Sakawa, my clear rate was not even 50%! Of course, there are numerous factors there, such as 6-2 forcing to use 2 DD, but my patient sparkling for E-2 was also probably making a difference. I kept all of my ships, except my lvl 94-95 Taihou sparkled all the time (sparkled Taihou too on the final kill), but in 6-2 farming I never had the motivation to keep my ships sparkled. I can sparkle for clearing runs, but I'm too lazy to sparkle for farming purposes...
