I see there are still a lot of people struggling on E-3, so I thought i would try to help those on the health phase on EASY mode.



No luck modifications, a +6 and +4 T91 AP, +1 night recon seaplane, +1 T13 air radar kai, all ships max stats except a bit of AA on Junyou

1 Zero Fighter Model 52C (w/ Iwai Flight) +8, 1 Ryuusei Kai, 1 Ryuusei, 1 Type 96 Land-based Attack Aircraft on LBAS 1, 1 Zero Fighter Model 52A (w/ Iwamoto Flight) +1, 2 Ryuusei Kai, 1 Ryuusei on LBAS 2 all going to boss node.

I cleared the map with a very similar fleet, with Hiei replacing Choukai, Choukai replacing Maya, and Akizuki with an expansion like Maya has replacing Yukikaze. I had one A rank, one mess up on my part, and one retreat. I also used boss support and a different setup for LBAS, but this setup gets me somewhat reliable S ranks.

Use this: http://i.imgur.com/QfcNd9w.jpg as a template for your support expeditions.

I can't claim to have the best setup, but even without boss support expeditions I got S ranks nearly 50% of the time and reached the boss node fairly consistently, failing only 14 of 78 attempts.

I hope this helps those of you still struggling, and to those who are more experienced then me, some suggestions on replacements for the ships just in case some people don't have them leveled high enough would help.
