Hello! I see that you have started a guide for this event, which is nice ;).

I just cleared E-1H a few hours ago, and dear, between my (presumably) bad luck and lack of good ASW equips, I have some words to say.

I used 3DD 2CL 1CVL compo, went to north ACHL route since it appears to be the shortest one with just 2 preboss battles (by the way, your Fleet Composition & Equipment Setup tab says 3DD 2CL 1CVL but the pic you put up is 4DD 1CL 1 CVL :p). Kinu K2 had her event debut here, and she performed really well. She can carry Daihatsus, and at lv 76, she has enough ASW (76) to be rounded up to 100 with relatively easy to get gear (2x Type 3 sonar and Type 94 depth charge) - good if you want to have additional OASW for whatever reasons. Also, I heard somewhere in the commnet that she provides TP reduction bonus unlike any other CL out there...?

I found going double line in boss node instead of line abreast gave me more consistent A-rank run. It's probably my bad luck, but whenever I got head-on encounter in line abreast, I could kiss my A-rank goodbye because Zuiho couldn't do enough damage to the surface ships in the opening strike (sometimes missed altogether) and the DDs and CLs only did minimal damage to the subs. With double line, Zuiho in flagship post could almost consistently kill 2 surface ships with her opening, while the DDs and CLs still got respectable anti-sub bonus.

I will dive into E-2H in a couple hours after repairs are complete. Good luck and fair winds in your eventing :).
