Is there any way to mitigate the damage (chuuhua and taiha) I'm getting from the Wo-kais in E-3 hard? Save for one lucky run, I tend to get forced to retreat because of taihas alternating in nodes W, L, and M dealt by them in one of my ships. I do got a second run that made it to the boss (with some ships in yellow health) but that became possible because I devoted my LBAS at nodes W and L to degrade the plane counts of the Wo-kais there leaving me with no extra kick at the boss (node M is also a bitch).

My fleet is 4FBB 2CVL + 1CL 2CLT 1CA 2DD.

The 2 CVLs are fighter mules so they can't participate in the Shelling Phase while the CL is Abukuma (for 1 more extra opening torp shot) and the CA is Maya (for AACI).
