yeah, and i told about that too: sometimes i need to start 2nd\3rd sortie just cause i can't clear some needed nodes even with NB (especially boss nodes with random roots and strong fleets, whereas in case of 2-1\2-2\2-3 you can just endlessly start another sorties).

Seems like there needed further investigations about combat information... Exactly; that's why I said I've been screwed over. If it's a pre-boss node and I don't need to S-Rank it, I don't really care one way or the other in most cases. I'll accept a B or C rank on Day Battle if I take scratch damage (or no damage) because of a Red T on pre-boss nodes.

I start getting salty when I get Red T on the boss node when I need to S-Rank it however...especially if it happens a bit more frequently than it should... however Daily W-2 Boss kills and W-1 (Operation A-Gou) are exceptions because going to Night Battle in those cases will get me a B-Rank and I only care about the win in those cases...and Orel cruising, I just care about killing Transports and CVs for Weeklies and I normally get those in the Day fight.

This being said, my point was mostly that I will strongly disagree with anyone who suggests that getting Red T has strategic/tactical merit (and I know at least one player that usually prefers Red T over Green T) because even though I've been screwed over by Green T or helped by Red T, I've been screwed over a LOT harder by Red T and a lot more frequently.

As far as further investigation, I would say that there may need to be more data-collection, as I know the Devs have the ability to tweak things on the fly...

...but there's also soemthing to be said for perceived frequency. I mean, it's possible Red T is only 10%, but we are thinking it's more often because we are paying more attention to Red T instances while not considering the other scenarios. And of course there's also the fact that at its core, RNG is what governs everything in this game no matter how much you stack things how you want them...and sometimes you just get a bunch of bad rolls in a row.
