I don't think too many of us will argue that 3-2 is worse than 5-5. I certainly won't. However, both maps are classic examples of terrible pre-boss nodes + off-routing afterwards. My only problem is that devs pick these maps so wearily often. There are 5 quests for 5-5. 7 for 3-2. I would argue that Mikawa (at least) has a surefire way to get to the boss. IF you make it. 3-2 quests don't have that. Neither do 5-5s'. But you can take stronger ships there. 2FBBs + 4CVBs is how I make it through 5-5 each month. 3-2 requires the weakest ships, against Elite-class enemies. It took me 11 runs. got off-routed to B thrice, got stonewalled at BB node the other 6. You basically only can make it through that node if you encounter the echelon formation. Even with Red-T + Line Abreast, at least one of my DDs would get taiha'd. I lost 38 buckets doing this quest. 35 doing 3-2.

Ultimately, the devs picking 3-2 and 5-5 as often as they do lies at the hart of my frustration :P.
