Small update: First time testing the waters of E-4H after some eventing break due to RL. First sortie using CHKM compo went so well. S-rank at boss. However, the next sorties went really bad due to inability to reach AP in H node because the tsu-class shooting down all the Zuiuns. The CAs went all arty spotting nuts, which hurt a lot despite them being in ring formation.

In a rush of frustration, I swapped a DD with an Unryuu-class CV (chosen because of their relatively lower res consumption) and went on the long CDFJHKM route. It went a bit better. Of course, the lack of a DD for daihatsu/drum mule hurts the TP reduction rate significantly... about by a half... But at this point, I will take half a TP reduction and more expensive sorties than no TP reduction at all.

I think I am going to alternate runs between CHKM (with full prof seaplanes) and CDFJHKM (when seaplanes got reduced to newb to allow them to gain prof).

And for future note: I think I am going to need more seaplane fighters. >: | Because seriously, if I had 3 or 4, I would load them all to my CAVs for this map. Daytime arty spotting be damned because even that is chance-dependent.
