First run on E-5!

Using Nagato, Kongou (she's my waifu), Hotel-chan, Kaga, Zuikaku, and Taihou. This was my first time and I was still feeling it out so no support fleet. BBs all had 46cms, sanshiki, and spotter planes. Had air supremacy on all the pre-boss nodes. Made it to the boss node without any real difficulty (seriously, that was easier than I was expecting), but despite carrying a Reppu Kai (in Kaga's big slot of course), four Reppus, and a Type-62 (hey, I thought it might help...) I did not manage to even get air superiority at the boss node. Yikes. Without double attacks from my BB that fight didn't go nearly as well...

But after coming this far I figured I had to at least try night battle and pray. I got lucky and Nagato shelled the boss at night and managed to reduce it to 1HP. Yes, 1HP. I guess I should still be happy considering that still affects the total health bar, but it's somehow very frustrating...

I don't know, all-in-all it seemed more doable than I feared. Obviously I still need to up my fighter support a tad...unfortunately that's all the Reppus I have. Well, I do have a Shiden Kai, maybe that will be enough...
