Guys, I think the AA rules have changed. My DDs and CLs were getting murdered on the pre-boss node of E-4 when they were all equipped with 10cm HA dual-purpose guns. I noticed they didn't seem to be doing the slide-out animation we've probably all come to expect...so figured why not give regular AA guns a shot. Holy crap did that make life better. My last couple runs on E-4 have been completely smooth sailing.

I'm doing E-4 without any air support, just 4DD+1CL and Kongou Kai Ni (I wanted a fast BB to avoid evasion penalties and she's got the best AA). The pre-boss node used to be a big problem for this fleet but now I can get through it with only scratch damage in diamond formation. Of course I still don't get a good score because this fleet isn't setup to kill much, but what can you do.
