I did this event on Easy too cuz i have not been playing this game for months and missed alot of opportunities such as getting LBAS units and Iowa. What a shame but can't do much since i am busy too and does not have much resource and slots for farming. I managed to steamroll everything within 24hrs and all i can say is E-4 is much easier than E-3.

It depends on how much resource you're willing to sacrifice, LBAS is just a cheaper option for first phase bombardment followed by shell fire if you send in expedition support. Since most of my planes can only reach node I, i rather focus all 3 air squadrons in the first few nodes:

1st air squadron - Fighter-Bomber x 4 focus purely on node I

2nd air squadron - Torpedo x 4 focus on node 'C' for STF OR node 'H'/'D' for CTF depending on which route ur taking

3rd air squadron - LBAS units + figthers if u have not enough LBAS to fill everything, supports both node I and whichever node your 2nd air squadron selected.

Forget about defending LBAS with figthers, ur LBAS base will only get bombarded with low damage anyway.

Reach node K select Echelon formation cuz better survivability

The dodgy parts is node L and M, just pray that u can survive well enough with AA formation.

Lastly node P, simply go all out with ur boss shelling support and wreck havoc. Persinally i prefer to have CTF with CVB. FCF also helps but will affect node L and M, u can't select AA formation. Anyway goodluck and good hunting in the event! o7
