Having insurmountable problems with E-3. I've managed to beat the boss to about 40%, but over all the sorties I've only managed to kill her once in a round that practically happens once in a thousand. Being unfamiliar with the combined fleet mechanics, I assumed the main fleet would be able to handle the escort so the second fleet wouldn't matter that much, and so I liberally committed my best light/medium ships to E-2. Now I'm looking at a success rate of maybe 20% of sorties making it to the boss (usually someone pulled out with fleet command), G-H nodes usually beat one or two ships up.

The boss seems to be ridiculously resistant to torpedo attacks. 2 CA 1 DD 1 CL 1 CLT, even with all ships activating cut-in, could only get her down to 25% health, doing 20-60 damage per ship. The only time I managed to kill her was with an adventurous 1 FBB 1 BB 3 DD 1 CL setup, but this does not allow replacing the CL with a CLT, and makes the problem of clearing out escorts even worse. Once the powered up boss fleet kicks in, I'll probably be shit out of luck. All my battleships are at level 99, but the available CAs are two at 70-something and the rest below 40, DDs and CLs at 70-50 range. HQ level 99.

I think I dun goofed.
