Starting E4 now. Due to shiplock, going for clear on Easy. Using STF: 2 BB, 2 CA, 1 CL, 1 CV + 1 CL, 3 CLT, 2 DD.

First run used YamaSushi, for fear of that BB Hime. Turns out that, after opening torpedo salvo with 4 torpedoes (no airstrike, because Kaga must be Reppuu mule), only the Himes and 2 scrub subs remain. BB Hime was promptly focus fired by YamaSushi and both CAs, while Ooyodo took care of the scrubs. That left SS Hime all alone for escort fleet. I almost felt sorry for her. Only scratches suffered.

Second run switched YamaSushi for Fukou sisters, to gain a bit of airstrike. Bad mistake, forgot that BBV with seaplane bombers prioritize ASW over shelling. Retreated after first node.

Third run switched Fukou sisters for Big7 sisters. Found those BWS on steroids at node I and boss. Air superiority borderline supremacy (must have Saiun, Red T is a big no-no vs submarines) + Maya K2 AACI are unable to disable them. Boss A-ranked, some buckets spent.

Next 2 runs were RNG trolled: first, waifu'd Kaga was one-shotted from full to 1 hp by a gold Wo at node F :V; then Kiso K2 lvl 99 got one-shot taiha'd by an opening torp from Elite So-class at node D :V.

Conclusion: BB Hime is overrated, Wos are the real deal. Waifu'd YamaSushi are still a huge resource sink, only useable on heavy duty maps (aka Fall 2014 E6 Hard). For this map, Big7 or even Kongous are enough.
