Here's some quick updates on my E4H runs. This time, I will let a picture to speak for itself (I hope it comes out right. First time wiki-ing here... ^_^; ).



Those are all the runs after my last post. All in all, very productive runs. There was one time that I even managed to reduce the boss to less than 10 hp. Introduction of Yasen-baka to replace Abukuma K2 in the fleet did not seem to affect overall day battle performance. Skilled Lookout-equipped Prinz, though, saw a marked increase of CI rate at night. Therefore, I can conclude that seaplane-capable CL is a viable alternative to Abukuma K2.

As I am now entering the dreaded Last Dance, I will soon replace the Nagatos with Yamatos. With 156k fuel / 181k ammo / 256k steel / 226k bauxite, and about 5 days left, I should not worry much about resources (at least until the fuel hits 100k).

My concern remains to be the lack of clean kill. Thus, I may consider introducing Hayasui + underway replenishment in the main fleet to boost their day battle performance. Should it come to that, Hayasui will take Maya's place, and Maya will be either 1) moved to escort fleet, or 2) replaced with an Akizuki-class in favor of maintaining CI-capable CAs for night battle.

The next time I update, I hope it will be with Warspite. :)
