I wouldn't go as far as this but I do strongly agree with the RNG. Being an auto-resolve kind of game there are very limited skills required to play this game, aside from getting the correct girls and equipments. Unlike arcade we can't control the units so we are at the mercy of RNG, but 5-5...I feel like the devs went a bit too far this time.

Sure we see some people manage to S rank the boss node with less than 20 runs, but I do believe these are only a very small number. Having a CL and 2 DDs go to 5-5 is...unthinkable to say the least. I really do wonder do the devs actually play test these quests (or do they even play test it at all?), because in all honesty I kinda feel like summer E-7 is actually easier than this...and it's all because of the Re class.

Re is like the pinnacle of salt-inducing technology that Tanaka has created: extremely powerful firepower, devasting opening torp, superb OASW despite her being a BB, 180 planes at her disposal (wtf?! Why isn't she an installation type enemy?), and a pretty big HP bar. If we can take Re out of the equation in the preboss node then I have no complaint since she's the reason I retreated 90% of my runs, but the fact we have to face her twice? I think I might go the hard path of upgrading F4F-4 to F6F-3 and then max it for the night variant, at least I can have some progress everday instead of ramming headlong into this quest.

P.S. As sad as this might sound, I find comfort in these posts, makes me feel better that I'm not suffering alone lol
