Welp, I would welcome some advice from the veteran ttk of the place. I'm seriously thinking in abandoning my attempts at E-5 at normal difficulty. Basically, after several succesful runs at hard difficulty in the previous maps, I thought I had a chance in E-5... not so much. I currently have for the map: 98 Kirishima, 90 Ise, 66 Fusou, 61 Shouhou, 75 Yura and lvl 17 Nagato... you are watching what I could gather after the fleet locking, basically, those are my best available BBs and carrier. They are equipped with: 2x41mm a recon plane/Zuiun and type 3 shell for all the BBs, 2x20.3 cms and the type 98 recon for Yura and 2 reppus, 1 Shiden Kai Ni and a Ryuusei (601) for Shouhou. (Enough for AS during boss node)

Yep, I don't have the ships for the "nice" route, or they were used during the previous maps. (A real shame, if I had know I was going to have so much problems in E-5, I had used Yura and some other DD instead of Sendai and Fubuki for E-4... since I don't Mikuma or Kumano)

I tried the submarine tactic with no succes, my subs are sub-lvl50, uncapable of evading pretty much anything, with some luck they reach the night node... but that's it. I had much more luck changing the submarine for Nagato, not only I reached the boss node 3 times, but I also took her down once. (Kirishima decided to attack the wrong target, twice).

Basically, given an infinite amount of resources and patience, I could do it but that's not the case. Currently I have 37k fuel, 42k ammo, 81k steel, 46k bauxite and 429 buckets and I really, really want to try to farm Roma... even in easy if it was necesary.

So... what do you guys say? Am I doing something wrong? Should I give up that sweet medal and extras to save resouces for E-6? Am I a big pussy and should man up for my Kanmusu? Do I have the time to recover the resources for E-6?
