Jet:

I did 5-5 with jets this month and it went quite well actually (except 4 off-routes orz). Enemy AA is strong but since there's no Tsu, my Kika always RTB with over half surviving in the 34 slot (unlike 4-5 *gasps*). The steel cost was negligible for me (didn't have use for it till now).

People get disappointed with jet because it didn't turn out the wonder weapon they expected. You'll start to see its value if you treat it like a beefed up fighter bomber for freeing up fighter slots. This month my Shoukaku has 2 shelling slots instead of the usual 1 thanks to the jet :D  Could not have achieved 420+ with Zero 62 in the same configuration (26 vs 73 FP).

Boss Support:

I don't use Boss support at all, haven't failed a kill so far (4 months and counting). Getting to the boss with a healthy fleet is more important for me and so far node support has been a saving rather than extra cost. The repair cost was even lower this month thanks to the jet :)
