Talk:Spring 2014 Event/@comment-27.120.91.67-20140507121329

Just cleared E-4. I'm not sure if it's because of my low level (HQ level 37) but this was the easiest map in this event for me.

The fleet I used (levels stated are for after clearing the map):

1) Amatsukaze (lv 16): Flagship, sent her to E-4 immediately after she joined. Type 3 Sonar, Type 94 Depth Charge and her Enhanced Steam Boiler.

2) Kiso Kai (lv 34): 20.3cm Twin Gun Mount, Type 93 Sonar and Type 94 Depth Charge.

3~5) Hibiki Kai, Shigure Kai, Yuudachi Kai (lv 31, 32, 33 respectively): 10cm Twin High-angle Mount (to defend a bit from the Wo-chan's air-dropped gifts @ point D), Type 93 Sonar and Type 94 Depth Charge.

6) Akagi Kai (lv 37): Type 21 Zero, Type 52 Zero, Reppu Kai and Suisei.

On my first attempt, I went in without any ASW equipment and failed spectacularly. This prompted me to follow the advice here and spent the next hour or so in development, to which I'm sincerely grateful m(_ _)m. Also, I noticed that after I equip my girls with Sonar+Depth Charge, they served crits to subs with almost every shot fired. Was I just insanely lucky or is this the supposed bonus effect when using sonars with depth charges?

In any case, I wish everyone good luck with your battles >=3. I don't think I'll attempt E-5 after hearing how frustrating (and resource-hungry) it can be ^^;;;
