I've been training on 5-1 node D last days and I've noticed something interesting.

In the "Nodes and enemy encounters" secrion of 5-1 you can see the next information about the node B maelstorm:



It's true that if you bring one radar you can reduce fuel consumption. But how about bringing more radars?

I'll lay out an example fleet of 1CL (flagship) + 5DD. It can be applied to whatever flagship + 5DD to level up on this node.

ONE RADAR



TWO RADARS



THREE RADARS



You can't reduce it further by bringing more radars. All radars must be equipped on different ships (you can't put 3 radars on the same ship to gain the highest reduction) Recommended RADAR: T22 surface radar K4 since it's the only one with ASW stat.

So you can sortie 4 times with whatever flagship before refuel. However, you should resupply ammo every sortie as usual. That means it's only 20% more expensive in terms of fuel.

In a fleet containing 5 OASW capable destroyers you have at least 10 opportunities of sinking an enemy submarine. Even if accuracy penalty for low morale is applied they usually only miss 1/3 shots. This fleet has the potential of preventing all enemy compositions from dealing damage, having the chance of completely destroy 2 of them before do anything. Low fuel penalty only affects evasion.

You may prefer 3-2A for flagship CA(V), (F)BB(V) and CV(L) as they can easily get MVP with the proper fleet. But for the rest, this method fits very well.

Compared with 3-2A:

PROS

- As your fleet contains 5DD it's way more res friendly.

- You can level up whatever flagship, this method is specially meant to level up weak ships (FS 648 exp points non-MVP per S rank)

-You can level up your high level OASW capable destroyers.(432 exp non-MVP, 864 exp MVP)

-The risk of A rank is very tiny.

-You don't need to care about morale.

CONS

- You need 5 OASW capable destroyers. Also 2 of them must reach 100+ ASW using only 2 slots (You have to equip 3 radars on 3 different ships)

-You can't rank-up planes with this method.

-Sometimes, one of your DD could be moderately or heavily damaged. You'll have to spent some buckets to continue training.

-Of course this method is more RNG-based than 3-2A

That's all. I hope you find this useful.
