Silly: "You think I'm going to fight a long battle in this heat?! I'll let you suitably finish off whatever's left, so if you're done here, don't come back!"
I only wish it was that simple. You're telling me this guy was able to get Umikaze? Lucky bastard.
The farthest I got was Takanami, which isn't too bad consider I was looking for her last event. But now every god damn drop so far is Atago, Atago, and more Atago.
You guys have finished E-7 to start farming E-4? Damn t'was fast..
Oh fuck no. I just decided to quit and farm for Umikaze since she's the only one I want for the event. Outside of the new reinforcement slots, there isn't anything worth wasting time and resource on this event. That, and I heard the rest of the stages are probably going to be balls to the walls difficult as well as the fact Dyson is still at large in E5 so....screw it.

Not aiming for the flight deck catapult used for Shoukaku/Zuikaku's kai ni?

E-5 is actually quite easy to do as long as you use the right fleet. I used 2 FBB + 1 CA + 2 DD + 1 CV and the runs were quite easy, as long as you bring at least 1 ship that can consistently do Cut-in attack in Night Battle against the Boss.
I was actually quite surprised it was even an E-5 map or it was even Hard mode.
E-3 and E-4 however were complete hell. And I am in E-6 right now and yeah... sparkling ships for support expedition as I have seen from yesterday it is quite difficult without it.

Nah. I'm not really a big fan of those two and I have more than enough carriers. I always find myself short of light carriers however, which is strange. I thought the catapult was a weapon which was strange when I found out it was a held item to evolve Turkey and Crane. Looks like they're really set on kai 2 being a pokemon game mechanic, although I guess the anime already proved that.

Because the route the fleet takes is quite easy. You go against 1 CL + 4 DD fleet, then a armored carrier hime (the long ponytail hime boss from 5-2) in diamond formation, after that is a transport ship fleet with 3 Wa-class, 1 CL and 2 DD, then it's boss.
Also, along the route you go into two resources nodes that either give ammo, bauxite or development materials, and I got like 100 or 150 bauxite per node yesterday.
The CV practically only requires 1 Reppuu and rest of the slots can be bombers because this map barely requires any high Air superiority since there are practically no CVs. CVL is at boss at final kill but otherwise they are non-existent. The supporting ships in the Boss nodes are quite easy also, so practically your only threat is random RNG or The BB Hime herself, so bring your AP shells to do more damage against her.
I had used Shimakaze with 2 Torpedo + Skilled Lookout because I wanted to save my Cut-in ships for E-7 as E-5 is a stand-alone ship-lock map where the ships that participate in that map can't go into anywhere else (unless you are doing Easy).
An here I'm still stuck at E-2... but I waited two days for receiving advice from the frontliners and picked the worst fleet to do hard (less than level 50).

You always have the option to switch your difficulty in this case :x

You should really just suck it up and do easy, or at the very least medium. Even if you do somehow make it to the last round, there's Symbiotic waiting to fuck you in the ass. Hard. In medium mode she's a bitch to fight and all of my ships were in the high 70s. You're not going to make it through hard mode with just level 50s, especially with combined fleet. Medium at least gives you Kawakaze and a reinforcement and is doable.
I suppose you are right. I'm doing hard for pride but at this rate I won't make it to E-7. Also I got the very same Type 91 AAFD reward past event and I've lost more than 3000 in ammo and fuel. I better clear this in medium and move on to the next map with my level 80 units.
But I picked almost all of my ships with high level, and now leaving me with lower level ships
...and I'm planning to do E6 for that catapult :<
Why, hello there, comrade. I have spent the last few days trying to powerlevel an entire combined fleet which are mostly level 40 and below, with the exception of Mutsu and Fusou. Which were level 1.
10 Days left, only two subs for the power leveling. F- my life.
Managed to clear E-3 and let me tell you something: it took me half an hour (but damn, it did felt like an eternity) just to kill the Seaplane Tender Princess final form (normal difficulty). And what did I got after all that pain and suffering...?
. . .
Mizuho. Seriously, I wasn't thinking at all about farming around for her. When I first saw her entry on the Kancolle Wiki, my eyes just glazed over: "Eh, fuck it. I barely use Seaplane Tenders, so it's not a big loss anyway...".
I don't know if RNG goddess decided to play tsundere with me or if the STP got so impressed with my inabilty to admit defeat on that map that she decided to join my fleet as Mizuho... but either way, I'm keeping her because... damn, she's cute really cute (even though her artwork doesn't really catch my fancy) and she could really help making 3-5 a bit less painful.

Impressive. You got her to defect from the Abyssal fleet.

How's E-7? I've heard it's hell.
Haven't reached that point yet, but if I can manage to at least get that catapult (curse evil Kaga and her takoyaki from hell), I'll be more than happy.

Depends. The branching and the optimal compo has already been figured out so you can use them as reference. The problem is that map is a resources sink hole. So if you aren't confident on clearing it I suggest you gather more reaources before attempting that map.
So hurry up and go home!Here, I'll give you this girl.
