Dear guys, this is my last post.

I admit that data from 6 battles (failed to kill the boss when I got red-T) at 5-5 aren't enough to say anything, but attacking while being medium damaged didn't change anything there (a heavy damaged Italia was more effective there taking down a medium damaged DD than a medium damaged Shoukaku doing useless small damage that didn't sink nor disabled anything, also in that case the flagship was one-shotted in day battle by a medium damaged Bismarck and Zuikaku was heavy damaged). The day one-shot Boss kill was BB 2 (Roma, Bismarck) - CV 1 (Zuikaku). So, for now, the CVB higher armor seems the best advantage over the CV. On a side note, I noticed that Kaga's torpedo bomber in her first slot were reduced to 1 after the final kill (something I didn't expect from a map without Tsu-class), so Shoukaku's 21 slot doesn't seem so big anymore.

Taking 4-5 boss for example, I had no problems clearing it with 3CA 2BBV 1CV for the first 3 months. Then, the 4th month, the same formation failed the final kill 3 times in a row, so I changed to 2BB 2BBV 2CV and cleared with no problems (avoiding the night battle node). Next month I'll see if there will be some change with the CVB.

Hapy New Year.
