I see there's no way that I'll get through to you anymore considering our personalities and vision are too different. As such, I will stop caring about helping and just giving out the wrong and right like normal people from now on (along with the dose of "asshole-ness":

E-2H and Preparation

I will still hold my stand on how there is no reason for you to do E-2H. TBD and SBD are currently practically useless compared to other planes. Sure, having them for collection might be good but you need to understand that it is possible to determine beforehand if you will succeed or fail with the map. You understand that "number are all that matters" but I still don't understand why you don't consider your preparedness. As I said before, what matters is how 'prepared' you are and not some shit like HQ lvl. And I am saying you are not prepared.

If you still doubt me on this. Show your current situation and your fleet to 100 players and I guarantee you that 100 players will tell you that you to drop down to Easy.

LBAS

The map isn't made for you to sortie your LBAS to the boss node anyways. It is possible, but not the optimal. It is better if you send them to node J to reduce the chance of them being sent back. Interceptors, currently, are shown to not work with Attacking and thus, are only used for Defending.

Air Power

Air Superiority (AS) is very important to obtain if possible because having it will, to sum it up, able you to do more damage. A good offense is a good defense. Hit them before they hit you. This is why having a lot of planes is important. The rule of thumb is that if it is possible to get AS, add in planes until you get AS, after that, add it everything else. If you sortie your plane to boss node like this, your planes will get shoot down, thus, rendering them useless. At the same time, your ships such as CA and BB cannot perform artillery spotting, a very strong special attack. This is why people don't want AI (Air Denial) if they can even if it means bringing more Air Power than needed to all the other nodes.This holds true to the point of sacrificing Saiun and Recon plane.

Understanding Air Combat is really important for such map where Carriers are everywhere. Just like understanding ASW is important to sinking Submarine. You don't even need to know the numbers/formulas, just the way it works, KC3Kai does the formula for you.

Back to DD

Hence, is why I still don't agree with you sending your low level DD here even if it is just a test. It's like sending a kid to do a job of an adult. They might be able to do it but most of the time it's highly likely that they will fuck it up. If you still think you really need to bring them, put one of them in Flagship at least to increase the chance of it surviving becuase of Flagship protection.

Final thought

E-2 is like the map 1-4. It is an introduction to the power of carrier, but this time, it tests your understanding on how to manage your planes. You want to be the person who is lucky and sink the boss after increasing your odds of winning to the maximum, not a person who hope you'll win the lottery where the chance is abysmal.

And since you want to go motto on me:

Work hard, work smart and don't give a damm about what others are thinking about you. If they give a fuck, good, that means something is happening. If not, then move on and improve yourself. But know your limits, and know when to retreat, when to prepare and when to find other ways around your problem.

I stop caring about how you think I see you. I used to think everyone is worth saving, even if everyone else abandon them. I supposed it's time to only save who I believe is worth saving. I could have been direct with you since the start, but I know from experience that it won't work as the more insults they get, the less willing they are to listen.

But if you want me to be direct with you the next time and cut to the chase, I will, and I will bring down my normal personality on you and criticize everything I think is wrong with your action without any cushion.
