Notes:


 * Medium, to save sanity. Because the difference to Hard is one screw and the Bofors. Only one Bofors is ever going to be needed, for Maya, and that can be obtained from Iowa Kai. Of course, one must clear E7 for her. Which I plan on doing before the next weekend.


 * 4 Daihatsus + 4 Drums can still deroute to node H, although it was only one time.


 * Chose to equip the main fleet DDs with a gun each, for two reasons: to reduce the chance of derouting to node H, and to give them a fighting chance in case the escort fleet fails to wipe the opposition.


 * Equipping sonars on the escort DDs does wonders to avoid taihas from closing torps. Even better if said sonars are Akashi upgraded.


 * Escort CAs were placed last, so that they could have clear shots on the boss in yasen. Really, both the CL and the DDs do nothing to her, is that some soviet stronk armor she's got there?
