Started E-7 Easy earlier today, and its been disastrous. Out of roughly 12 runs, only 1 of those made it to the boss. Every other time, my ships are constantly taking heavy damage and forcing me to turn back, most often at nodes J & M. Another recurring problem is that my escort and support fleets either rarely hit the enemy, or do minimal damage when they do.

I'll admit my fleet is on the low side of levels compared to what other people have been posting here. Is my fleet just too low level to do any good on E-7? Going with this setup:

Carrier Task Force Main:

Akagi Lv 68 (Zero 52, Reppuu, Suisei, Zero 52)

Shokaku Lv 56 (Zero 52, Tenzan Murata Sq, Zero 52, Zero 52)

Hiyou Lv 46 (Zero 52, Zero 52, Suisei, Zero 52)

Suzuya Lv 44 (Zuiun, Proto Seiran, Zuiun, 20.3cm)

Mutsu Lv 38 (41cm, 41cm, 41cm, Floatplane)

Nagato Lv 46 (41cm, 41cm, 41cm, Floatplane)

Escort:

Shimakaze Lv 56 (Quad Torp Oxy, Quad Torp Oxy, 10cm)

Yukikaze Lv 49 (Same as Shimakaze)

Yura Lv 54 (15.5cm Red, 15.5cm Red, Floatplane)

Takao Lv 66 (20.3cm, 20.3cm, Quad Torp Oxy, 15.5cm Yellow)

Maya Lv 53 (20.3cm, Type 21 Radar, 25mm Triple Mount, 8cm High Angle)

Kongou Lv 66 (41cm, 35.6cm triple, 15.5cm Yellow, Floatplane)

Using Zero 52 largely due to lack of success in crafting Reppuu both during and prior to the event. Would really appreciate any advice you guys can give me.
