Talk:Winter 2017 Event/@comment-26082284-20170221183956

Finally! After declaring that I'm fed up with rng shenanigans and giving up rescuing Fujinami, my M nature got better of me and next day I've returned for more punishment. And finally got breakthrough. I was experimenting with loadouts and discovered to my surprise that jet planes actually do work quite well in E2. It seems that one or two ships sunk BEFORE opening airstrike can reduce taihas significantly and sudennly I started getting to boss more often than 50/50 as it was before. And soon enough Fujinami dropped, with little over 100 sorties total. I almost choke, as I was scarfing breakfast just then, but never mind, she finally DID drop. And now I can rest easy.

So, to sum up the event:

Hitomi farming - 3 days, cumulative drop chance by the drop >67%

Fujinami farming - 5 days, cumulative drop chance by the drop >98%

The rest - 2 days.

Doing this event on normal I used up more resources than during larger Fall event with Yamakaze and Asakaze farming and Jelly Hime hard. Tip of the hat, rng, you pulled quite a number on me.
