E-3 Branching Rules (intended for those without Akitsu-Maru) (from wikiwiki)
Start A/B/C: [2nd Fleet has 2 or more CLT/SS to A, if doesn't trigger previous rule, if 1st Fleet has one CL/DD to B] [2CVL to A] [no CV and have 2BBV, high chance to C(?)]

E-D/G: LOS

F-E/H: [1st Fleet has Akitsu-Maru to H] [there is other way to go H (uncomfirmed) 1st Fleet have 2CAV or 2BBV] [There are compositions with random E/H] [otherwise to E] [not sure if LOS related]

G-H/I: [have CV goes to H(?)] [2nd fleet has 3DD to I(?)]

H-J/I: LOS

Analysis
If you don't have Akitsu-Maru, as I believe most of you are, you can try North Route by:

not taking any CV (high chance to C?), instead, bring only 1CVL or not at all (as 2CVL will make you go to A node)

2nd fleet has no more than one CLT or SS (to prevent A node)

has 3DD (for G-I)

has certain LOS so you don't get loss to open-sea

in case if your fleet went to South Route by RNG there is 2 points need to consider in your composition:

- don't bring more than one BBV/CAV if you prefer F>E>G>I

- or bring 2BBV or 2CAV if you prefer F>H>I

1st Fleet: you decide from above analysis [you can bring one only CVL or not at all] [you can bring any of these BB/FBB/CLT/CA/CL/(one only BBV/one only CAV if you don't want F>H)]

2nd Fleet: 1CLT/CL/(wildcard)/DD/DD/DD

I personally haven't tried this because I cleared it with Akitsu-Maru, I translated wikiwiki for you, and made analysis for you instead of advancing to E-4, you have to do your own part and report here if it works or not, share your thought, etc, everyone interested are welcome.

Don't bring BB type to 2nd fleet as I saw many of you did because imo in night battle CAV/CA is more valuable than BB.

I will not discuss about Akitsu-Maru and please don't discuss here because the purpose of this thread is to help players without Akitsu-Maru to clear E-3, otherwise it will just piss off players who don't have Akitsu-Maru, there must be a way! I know the routing is shitty and even JP wikiwiki players are still finding a way. If you're low on resource you can wait for a few days and get more resource in meantime.

the aim is to go via CEGI (best), BFEGI, BFHI.and not BFEGHI.
