By far the hardest Map of the Event and all because of that damn Aircraft Hime. -.-

Spoiler for E6 Stuff:

At the very first Kill i already got a pleasant suprise

Well, i am not complaining.

Everything until the Killzone went rather well, 12 Sorties with 5 retreats (4 Pre Boss, 1 Night Battle), 5 clean Kills and 2 non kills.
And then the Ordeal begun.

Spoiler for Frist Try:

Well almost.

Spoiler for Not as good:

Ok next try

Spoiler for FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF:

Are you f***ing kidding me...

Spoiler for OH COME ON:

Spoiler for At last:

Puh, that took about 12 tries with 7 retreats (5 pre Boss, 2 night battle).

1st Fleet:

+Boss Support for the Last Kill tries.

Fuel ~35k, Ammo ~35k, Steel ~23k, Bauxite ~2k <- and ~210 Buckets

Overall fairy easy event except for the very last map and thankfully nothing compared to AL/MI.

Now the Question is which one should i start farming first, Roma or Amatsukaze?

@KBTKaiser
I would go with 2 BB and a Sub.

And final spreadsheet tally:



Still no Roma though, so more E-6 punishment for me.

Shelling support also does pretty much 0 dmg against the final form.
Already used nearly 200 Buckets on this map.


Also in case someone else gets the idea: Don't try to bring a sub to the north route it will send you to node L instead of the boss node.

Your BBs should kill off at least the FlagshipBB and at least chuuha the Carrier Hime before the night battle. Put KTKM and Ooi at the 3rd or 4th slot helps (Somewhat.) for night battle as the others settle the remaining escorts survived in the night battle.

Try equipping a radar and 3 main guns on everyone of your support expedition ships. Overweight penalty affects your support's accuracy as well, so don't put too much guns (Or even overweight ones.).

The more punishment for me will be... to hunt Yuu (Got Roma on my 4th kill.).

I got Roma not long ago, and the cheapest way I found to farm her is node N, if you just want Roma and not someone else that only drops on boss. You go with a Carrier Task Force so you star on node D->E and then choose to go to J. J is a night node but with even weaker enemies than I. And then Node N is where Roma can drop. You can go with 4CVL or cheaper CV like the Unryuu-class plus 2 BB on main fleet. As there is no AS on those two nodes you can go with minimum AS and then fill the fleet with dive or torpedo bombers. On escort have Cl 2DD 3CLT/2CLT + SS (SS with damecon makes the night node even less than a hassle).

The bombers and CLT torpedos will kill almost everyone but the Battleship Princess, and generally damage her enough that your 2 BBs can quickly kill her if well equipped.

So it's advantageous because you almost never need to retreat, the resource costs isn't as high as the fleet you need to beat the map, and most of the time only your escort ships that get damaged, and they're cheaper to repair. The damecon seems to be a good tactic. On my 15 or so runs until I finally got Roma, I didn't need to use the damecon.

It would take time to recover.

The problem is more that my BBs can't seem to hit her at all - Really starting to wonder why I equipped them with AP shells in the first place totally useless if they can't hit anything.

Already down to 111 Buckets :/

Edit2: L20 or so trys I even had troubles to get past node M for some reason.

I alos made a curious observation about Night battle: kongou (FS) always attacks either spot 3 or Spot 4 of the enmy fleet.

Could be your equipment. During the runs before I clear the map, I noticed that when I equip 2 41cm guns on my FBBs (Kongou sisters.), their accuracy is really bad (Couldn't kill the escorts even with supports.). Thus, I used 2 35.6cm guns on my FBBs to try and rectify the problem (It worked to an extent where I can hit the escorts properly.).

its normal to have problems at Node M. Follow Lantern's advice here.

Yeah, Kongou's got the tactical intelligence of an overripe tomato...
As for me, I went for 46 cm and prototype 36.5 cm.

ap shells use ap shells for akashi right?

For the Type 91 past six stars, yes.

[refrain]

Guys, here is my ship list. Can you recommed me a fleet for E-6 please? I'm doing hard

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

[Sheba]

If Surface Fleet:

First Fleet: Musashi, Mutsu, Kirishima, Maya, RJ and Junyou
Second Fleet: Jintsuu, Yuudachi, Shigure, 2CLT, 1 FBB or CA/V of your choice.

* My reasoning for two CVL is to have as much fighter power as possible while still leaving a little room for sneding attack planes. At Evil Kaga node, even having just Air Parity can lead to nasty results at the expense of your girls.

If Carrier Fleet:

Musashi, Mutsu, 4 CV
Second Fleet: More or less the same tho you may want to put Maya or Bukki for AACI duty.

* At least two of your CV should be reppu mules, and the two others can have the attack planes to do the lifting.

Try and experiment as long as possible. I went through that shit and cycled between Surface and Carrier fleets until RNG was nice to me & let me go through. Thanks god that the fleet lock is lifted in that stage.

[RapidPotential]

Cannot seem to get Unryuu even after some 25~ sorties. I even had three or four Perfect S-ranks with no drops. I will continue to plug away for another two hours or so before I give up and go for E-3.

Thanks, to you and refrain (thx for the Radar+Ap shell idea), my girls are slowly starting to hit despite all the head on engagements.

Im currently using

FS Mutsu; 82 (2x 41cm, AP shell, t22SR )
Nagato; 68 (2x 41cm, ap shell, t22SR)
haruna; 66(3x 35.6cm, Ap Shell; t21AR)
Maya 81(20.3No2, 12.8HA+FAADD,t21AR, 25mmCD)
JunyouKai 71(Reppu, Reppu, Tenzan 601, Reppu)
Hiyou 63 (reppu, Reppu,ShidenKai,Tenzan 601)

Escort:
FS: Kongou 84 (1x 35.6, AP Shell, T22SR)
Jintsuu 71(Night Scout, 2x OxygenQuad)
KTKM 64 (MidgetSub, 2x Quint Torp) ->(Seemed to work better than double 15.5T
Ooi 60 (Midget Sub, 2x pizza gun/OTO)
Bucky 79 (T13KaiAAR, Triple Oxygen, 10cmHA+FAAD)
Poi 71 (Quad Oxygen, 12.7Kai, 25mmtripleAuto)

Boss support:
Fusou 74( 3x 35.6, T21 AR)
Akagi 75(4x Suisei)
Kaga 72(3x Suisei12A, Suisei601)
Kirishima 50(2x 41cm, 35.6 T21AAR)
Shigure 62(2 x 10cmHA, T13AAR)
Murasame 64(2x 10cmHA, T3Sonar)

Was the best run for now; Pretty much everything bar the BB Demon and the Aircaraft carrier(chuha) hime got killed. Sadly they didn't manage to finish either of them during the night battle. (BB Demon had like 240 HP left);

This would be a lot less frustrating if I wasn't running out of buckets. At least now they hit something and the structural integrity of my desk is far less in danger than yesterday.; Even if I can beat her and don't have to change down to easy or normal, I doubt I'll have the energy to farm Roma left.
I really have no idea whas wrong here - if there isn't a hidden accuracy stat tied to their levels their levels should actually be more good to go for this.

[Klashikari]

Yuudachi's setup is completely useless: she isn't going to fare well considering you put a mixed cut-in setup. Unless you grinded her luck to 60, it won't go anywhere.
The same can be said for Fubuki, who has a very average luck in that regard.

Unless I'm mistaken, scout plane activation rate is better on a bigger slot plane, thus Kongou is a much better candidate than Jintsuu.

The absence of seaplane for artillery spotting is also bizarre to me.

[refrain]

About Yuudachi, I wonder if I should replace her with Hatsushimo in my escort fleet for E-6

Do try. Myself, I have not gotten my final kill until I decided to swap Fubuki in escort fleet for Ayanami.
