I cleared E-3 hard without support fleet, without sparkles and without using any of my LSC ships. I did however have access to high level ships, Fusou-class Kai Ni and ABKM Kai Ni.

I'd even dare to say if KTKM had done a cut-in I would have cleared E-3 hard with 10 ships, no sparkle, and no support, but that's life.

It's a random numbers game. You can only take certain steps to increase your odds, but it's never 100%.
