You mentioned something about waiting 3 years . I dont know my head might still be off since I ' m just making random assumptions . Sorry man . Hm . My gender radar is off then . <| sep |> Et bah prends mieux soin de ton PC ? Formate ? SSD ? Change de CG si elle est trop vieille ? Sincrement avant que je change mon 2500 k vers un 6700 , celuici tenait encore trs trs bien la route . <| sep |> I knocked out E 4 N , 13 sortie 5 retreat for transport phase , 10 sortie 2 retreat for kill phase . I was scared off of E 4 H because of all the salt in here about the quad ru S node , and because I didn ' t want to lock my last 2 fast CVL here . Faced with having to run nonstandard comps and still wanting to take the short path , I decided to wimp out and drop in difficulty . Transport phase 2 CAV mogami , mikuma , 1 CL kuma , 3 DD hatsushimo , ooshio , kawakaze . CHKM route . Most retreats were at K node , used only 1 seaplane fighter for AD at H node and AS at C M . hatsushimo on aaci . played around with ooshiokawakaze setups but ultimately it was best to just put 3 daihatsu on each for 51 A rank , since S ranking the boss seemed sketchy . Kill phase 2 CAV mogami , mikuma , 1 CL kuma , 2 DD hatsushimo , ooshio , CVB zuikaku . OPSQV route . I tried to recycle as much of the transport phase locks as possible . fighterbomber 3 fighter on zuikaku , seaplane fighter recon on both CAV , got AS at the 2 air nodes and boss 308315 . this is not enough to AS in hard , but good enough for normal ! hatsushimo aaci except for last dance , put ooshio on token aaci , switched hatsushimo to 3 x torp cutin . used boss support for chipping runs and for last dance . Honestly , normal was surprisingly painless compared to the horror stories I ' m seeing for hard . Zuikaku was a boss . No need for Abukuma K 2 or AkizukiMaya AACI ! No need for FBB or 2 x Fast CVL !
