RNG be trollin

So I'm now completely convinced that there's still a random element to these LoS checks before the boss. Even if having sufficient LoS makes a boss encounter quite likely, it does not guarantee it. I made it H->J on E-6 with a particular configuration 5 times, only to have that exact same configuration (same ships, same equipment) fail on what should have been the 6th time. And this wasn't a LoS requirement boost before the final form or something, since I've still got a few kills to go.

And before somebody suggests that LoS-boosting planes were shot down, I can assure you that isn't the case. That is something you can check, after all. Just look at the plane counts on the equipment screen before resupplying. I'm running a 2 CVL + CV configuration that gives me air supremacy at A and air superiority at H. I was only losing like 1-2 planes per slot. No slots were even close to being empty.

Just to be completely sure, I sortied one more time without changing any equipment loadouts what-so-ever. That time I made it to the boss. What else can be said? It may not happen very often, but it seems that there really is a random chance of going off course even when you have sufficient LoS.
