Intrepid comes with one F6F-3. The urge to painstakingly upgrade it to F6F-5 and then max it is very hard to resist.

Thats no less than 12 Zero M52, 18 Shiden Kai 2 and 4 Reppuu needed (assuming no fails), not counting the resource bill to craft all those planes and the improvements themselves.

I can handle the resource bill, over time, but I cannot handle the low chance of getting THOSE THRICE-DAMMED-GODS-FORSAKEN SHIDEN KAI 2S!!!!!

It's been at least 3 months since I last crafted a Shiden Kai 2, and I do the daily development quests everyday, with recipes specially tailored to get the damn things. No matter what CV(L/B) flagship I use, dumping either the minimum recipe or the Reppuu recipe or the Saiun recipe or tweaks of the 3 recipes ... the damn things just won't show up ...

I just need 3 more Shiden Kai 2s, then I can finally make the F6F-5N. And then it's back to the grinder, to try and get at least 18 more ...

It's like an eternal, rock-stacking, purgatory ... RNG just standing there, forcing me to stack up rocks and smashing the stack down whenever it reaches a certain random height ...
