The RNG is a fickle mistress.

So I'm farming for drops on E-3. I really want Zuikaku, which means I have to do the boss node. I know she's rare and it's a tough fight so it seems like kind of a long shot, but damn it I have been trying to build her (unsuccessfully) for months. Have literally built hundreds of aircraft carriers, no Zuikaku. So anyway, I'll try anything...

So this time around I actually managed to get perfect S rankings on both nodes A and B. That's right, I'm entering the boss node with a completely undamaged fleet. What could be better than that? Then I proceed to watch what I think might be the worst performance of any fleet I've sortied since I started playing this game. It was horrifying. Excepting the attacks on Iona, every single shot the enemy fleet fired was a crit. Every single one. Kongou actually critted both my carriers into the red with her opening laser attack so they never even got to participate in the shelling phase. Meanwhile the ships of mine that actually got a chance to attack either missed entirely or did scratch damage. The only enemy ships I actually managed to sink were the ones Iona and Kitakami took out with their torpedos. Iona was the only ship in my fleet that didn't get put in the red in this battle (because she's practically unsinkable...) and a couple of them had only 1 HP left.

I mean jesus, I didn't lose any ships only because I was in such a bad state after the day battle there was no reason to even try pushing on to night. I have never seen such a sorry perforrmance of my fleet before...and this was right after two Perfect S ranks in a row!

I swear, the RNG is teasing me...
