I can almost see the value of new admirals sinking relatively low level ships (1-30, or even 1-50 since it doesn't take long to grind up to 50 when you have good pvps or grinding areas). But sinking a goddamn Virniy? Really?

I ran a suicide fleet of DDs to clear last fall's E-2, but that was a pure-night battle map and they were all level 1. That was a nice strategy because getting through several night battles was pure hell and I started playing right about when that event started.

At least with the combined fleet mechanic, sinking a ship might not significantly hurt your ability to sink the boss, especially in this event. But in non-combined fleet maps, advancing with a ship in red against the truly hard bosses is usually too much of a hit to your firepower to be worth it anyway. Advancing with more than one in red, or in red before the preboss node is just pure insanity; you will almost certainly sink it and you have basically zero chance of accomplishing anything for it.
