Hi Everyone, HQ level 42 TKK here asking about Support Shelling Expedition for Events. Before starting, I just want to thank everyone who gave their time and effort to put all these useful info. into this site …made the gaming experience of newbies like me better..So MANY THANKS TO EVERYONE :) Ok down business… I used Support Shelling at boss node 2x for E1 & 1x for E2 on medium difficulty with bad results. I used 1CL, 2DD, 3CA for shelling using 2xGun + 1 Trop for DD, 2xGun+1Seaplane+1AA radar for CL/CA (don’t have enough surface radars). All 3 shelling supports missed 100%, main fleet seem to suffer from accuracy penalty as well with 40-50% miss rate. Was a nightmare at E2 combined fleet + shelling support. Support Shelling missed 100%, 2nd Fleet’s missed 100%, ,Main fleet missed > 50%. Abyssmals seems boosted in accuracy and crit with 100% hit rate and >50% crits. I’ve AS at Boss with main 4CVs (Akagi, Kaga, Zuikaku, Soryu with 2 Reppus at Akagi & Kaga’s biggest slots + min. type 52 fighters in all the rest + 1 sauin for T-cross), used line formation 4 and 2 FBBs rounding off (Kongu & Haruna with 2 gun + type 3 shell + radar). My fleet girls went confidently into E2 boss with 2x minor + 2x scratch dmg … then mass hysterical screams almost gave me an heart attack…they came out with 6 crit. (3 with 1 hp left), 4 medium, 2 minor dmg. The Abyssmal Boss & Sub-boss and 2 others still had full health & totally un-scratch…My fleet came out just like the real IJN WW2 Midway with 4 carriers totally retk. I know as a level 42 TKK attempting medium with only kai fleet (levels 35-70) is probably biting off more than can chew. I cleared E1 Medium and wanted to try E2 on Medium to see how far I can go and threw in shelling support for extra punch… so far support shelling Is not working out for me. Between rng, combined fleet & dismal support shelling & frequent cats in midst of sorting… the resource burn is more than my mama can handle … a lvl 42 TKK with 10K softcap resources ain’t gonna cut it – I may do another try see what happens before switching over to Easy. Any advice or sharing is welcome. Thanks
