I just saw preliminary drop lists showing up. The rewards for the first maps are very good. If you have DEs or other OASW capable ships, i recommend trying E1 on as high difficulty as you can manage, it is very easy to get good anti-installation gear from the rewards. This equipment will also help in the next two maps, since both contain installations. Dropping in difficulty if it is too hard is always a possibility, but going for high difficulties is well worth it in my eyes due to the rewards.

I'm also concerned about all the shiplocks, that is why i haven't sortied yet. But as i understand the data-miners, the last two locks on E5 only apply to Hard difficulty. So we should have one lock for each of E1 to E4 and then E5 without a lock (as is customary) for difficulties below Hard. So far different tags do not seem to affect starting or routing on maps E1 to E3. So that might avoid outcries like in the Winter18 event. But of course we don't know anything about the Extra Operations yet. Once that information shows up, i'll start sortieing.
