7 maps again... unforgettable moments from final stage of Summer 2015 event still haunting me like nightmare featured 3 special enemies with large FP & armour & restricted CLT.

Some key points to concern with before this event will begin (sorted from the worst):

(1) Tough bosses & ship restrictions. Shiplocking mechanism requires splitting entire available ships into group of some fleets, thus use lower levels on early stages and higher ones later. There are chance for CLT may be not allowed to reach the boss at final stage, be careful if this restriction apply.

(2)  Armour debuffing mechanism. Related to point (1), in Summer 2015 we need to reduce boss armour by eliminating FS from unnecessary nodes, just prepare more resources and ships to stock in.

(3) Forced air denial/incapability/parity conditions. 6-4 west route and Fall 2015 E-2 are good samples how to maintain survivability against land-based enemy with AD/AI/AP condition.

(4) Land-based enemies. Type 3 shells, WG42, Daihatsu landing crafts/tanks and special supporting AACI guns are necessary equipments to be prepared on our way.

(5) Night battles/yasen. Make sure we have stock of high luck DDs (Shigure Kai 2 + Yukikaze + Hatsushimo Kai 2 and others), and yasen equipments. Use line ahead/double line rather than echelon to throw out some nasty yasen-capable enemies ASAP.

I wish yours have good luck to get Iowa-sama on this event...
