To top it off, the second stage features night air battle node (=one-sided rape from Wo-class flagship since your carriers can't operate at night), and Shinano is a rare random drop in the E6, and the map is every bit as hard as the AL/MI Counterattack map.

What would be your reaction if this map becomes reality? Even if you have the fleet up for the job, would you still want her enough to do that hell map over and over? For the current system, an "night air battle node" cannot exist. There is no air battle stage in night battles, only barrage stage where wo-class can operate, and your non-carrier ships can operate, too.

Difficulty selection system is designed to solve the problems of level-scaled difficulty, no point in taking a step backward. We cannot deny the possibility, but undoubtly that would be one of the dumbist thing the devs can do.
