E3 Medium: "I'd assault those armpits, but the Dyson twins are watching ..."

| TP GAUGE |

Composition: Transport Escort - 2 CAV, 4 DD + CL, 2 CA, 3 DD

Route: A B D G S

Formations: A + D - Anti-Sub; B + S - Battle

Main Fleet

Escort Fleet

No support expeditions used.

All planes double chevroned.

Runs: 8 total, 1 retreat, 7 boss encounters (1 defeat)

Buckets: 21

Boss drops: Shimakaze, Hyuuga, Choukai, Hiyou, Myoukou, Kitakami

TP drain: S rank = -90; A rank = -62

Notes:


 * Troll sub nodes are troll. Nuff said.


 * Second run, pre-boss sub node rekts ABKM (escort flagship). Hoping that escort flagships remain unsinkable from previous events, decided to advance to boss. RNG went apeshit: escort fleet ended day battle with 4 taihas, against 5 enemy survivors, on a Red T. No point going into night battle, a defeat is a defeat.

Notes:


 * Facing 1 or 2 Dysons right at the start may seem scary, but with full morale (49 or sparkled) and full bellies, suddenly they don't seem so scary. With only 2 pre-boss battles and 1 air battle, this route allows for 50%+ fuel and ammo at boss. IMO, it sure beats having to fend off troll subs and having to face them Dysons right before the boss, when some of the fuel and ammo was already spent.


 * I could have gone Hard mode, resources and buckets are plentiful. But the only additional reward is the brag medal, and having to face a CV Hime on steroids, in addition to the Dyson duo and the CA Hime, just for that? No thanks. Tanaka can shove his brag medal where the sun doesn't shine.


 * That Last Dance ... she screamed a lot. So much noise. Thank you so much Yuudachi, my dear PoiPoi, for putting her out of her misery. You'll recieve a lot of head pats and head rubs in the next days to come. Oh, and I'll even throw in some free all-you-can-eat Mamiya tickets.

Now to farm Okinami, until the very end.
