Let alone the fact that the compass was an ass that time, BB Ru-Class was seen almost everywhere too (2-4 of which even blocked you right before the boss node) that kept sending you home. − *At least 3-4 phase 2 is much more lenient as the compass factor is gone, '''secured boss route''', just like 3-2, but the pre-boss is still annoying, BB Ru-Class still exist before the boss node to ruin your day. − *Due to nature of the map and the comp you will be using to rank here, '''ranking in 3-4 is considered to be very expensive, but in exchange, you can get the highest rpt gain in an hour''' (See below). If you '''feel like rushing for rpt without caring about resource and bucket, this can be your great choice.''' − **There are 2 comps you can use to rank in 3-4. Depending on the status of your fleet, one may feel one comp is better than another. But either way, you are gonna use CV(B) which drain your resource pretty fast − **As stated above, '''BB Ru-Class are still nearly everywhere pre-boss, they are even at the boss node !''' Do expect to '''use bucket like in every run''' − **This map is also '''not friendly with bauxite'''. You need opening strikes and plane shelling to protect your ships from getting damaged, so obviously you would bring a lot of planes with you to fight the enemies here. − *Gotta note that '''node F is a maelstrom node that will either wipe 2 bars or the entire of your remaining fuel'''. Therefore, if you happen to '''roll the latter case, expect to throw away a bunch of bucket as your ships won't have any fuel left to dodge at the boss node''', which is gonna be very bad ! − *'''Clearing 3-4 boss also counts towards Weekly World 3 quest''' (Excuse to rank here. Why not?) − *Boss node also feature a lot of rare drops such as {{ShipLink|Nagato}}, {{ShipLink|Mutsu}}, {{ShipLink|Taigei}}, {{ShipLink|Hiryuu}}, '''and especially {{ShipLink|Hatsukaze}}, who is 3-4 exclusive drop.''' − <br/> − ====Comp==== − <div align="center">'''Variant 1 : 1CVL 2CV 1CL 2DD (Fast+) going ACFJP'''</div> − [[File:MFB3-4-01.jpg|600px|thumb|center]] − *Requires '''Fast+ Fleet via the synergy of Turbine + Boiler''' − **'''RE is required''' too to free the equipment slots for your ships, allowing them to carry more battle equipment. − *'''Air Power: 84-96 air for AS''' all nodes including boss, '''168+ air for AS+''' at the boss node. − **You can go for AS+ to conserve your bauxite as much as possible, but may sacrifice opening airstrike damage (Vice-versa: You go for AS, you get more bombers for stronger opening, but will cost more bauxite. So pick one strategy that fits your taste here I guess) − *There is a chance node F can wipe all of your fuel, causing everyone at the boss node to not be able to dodge anymore, always remember this. − **Technically, you can bring some radars to counter, this way, even if you roll the said maelstrom type, your ships will only be wiped almost all of their fuel, not actually all of it. − *Only 2 battles pre-boss = '''No ammo penalty at the boss node''' − ---- − <div align="center">'''Variant 2 : 2CVL 2CV 1CL 1AV going ACEGJP'''</div> − [[File:MFB3-4-02.jpg|600px|thumb|center]] − *Pretty much the standard 3-4 comp, '''without the need of speed enhancement''' − *Stronger opening airstrike too, also allows easier AS+ ('''168+ air''') − *However, this time, you fight 3 battles pre-boss. This will cause '''ammo penalty at the boss node.''' − *Also, you have to '''bypass two nodes with BB Ru-class Flagship in a row''' − **This kind of threat somewhat offsets with the use of total 4 CV(L) from your side, as there is a good chance your CV can nuke those enemy BB before they have a chance to harm you. − *It may be more preferable to put one of the CVs as flagship instead of AV to trigger a strong shelling attack in the second shelling, but AV without flagship protection might cause some issue preboss. Up to you to pick who should be the flagship then. − ---- − *With whatever fleet you picked above, you '''need a lot of good planes''' such as {{EquipmentLink|Type 97 Torpedo Bomber (Tomonaga Squadron)}} to help out clear out enemies with ease. − *<font color="red">'''Formation : Line Ahead''' at all nodes</font> − <br/> − ====Efficiency==== − *Assuming all nodes are scored with S rank, one full run of 3-4 will give '''160 x 2 + 3320 = 3640 HQ exp = 2.55 rpt''' − *One full run of 3-4 requires at least 5 minutes, ideally, one can do '''60 : 5 = 12 runs / hour, which gives 2.55 x 12 = 30.6 rpt / hour''' − **This assumes the '''Fast+''' fleet as it only goes through 2 battle nodes before the boss fight. Using the other 4 heavy comp of course will take a little longer − *'''Bucket usage: <font color="red">High</font>''' − *'''Resource usage when supplying (Assuming the boss fight ended at day)''' − **Fast+ Fleet, node F only wipes 2 bars of fuel: '''250 fuel 180 ammo''' − **Fast+ Fleet, node F wipes all of your remaining fuel: '''320 fuel 180 ammo''' − **Standard comp: '''280 fuel 280 ammo''' − **'''Conclusion: Very expensive when it comes to resource, bucket and bauxite.

Keep in mind that as this comp contains no BB, and there are no enemy BB either, there is a good chance you will take enemy closing torpedo if they are not disabled beforehand. − **Same idea goes with the boss node, you only have one shelling so you '''will usually need to engage a night battle to get an S rank''' for [[Sado]] drop. Luckily though, the boss node is alway in diamond formation so their torpedo accuracy are kinda suck. − *'''One [[Akizuki]]-class DD is required for AACI protection''', sometimes she can disable those Wo and Nu completely by destroying all of their bombers too which will help a lot. − *Much later on, you can try to improve {{EquipmentLink|Kyoufuu Kai}} and {{EquipmentLink|Type 2 Seaplane Fighter Kai (Skilled)}} to the max level, this way, with only 3 of them, you will be able to get barely enough air for AP with around 124 air power, allowing your CAV to carry one main gun and 8-cm gun on her RE slot to enable night double attack setup. − *<font color="red">'''Formation : Line Abreast''' at node C, '''Line Ahead''' at other nodes</font> − <br/> − ====Efficiency==== − *Assuming all nodes are scored with S rank, one full run of 7-2 will give '''180 x 3 + 2360 = 2900 HQ exp = 2.03 rpt''' − *One full run of 7-2 requires at least 5 minutes, ideally, one can do '''60 : 5 = 12 runs / hour, which gives 2.03 x 12 = 24.36 rpt / hour''' − *'''Bucket usage: <font color="blue">Average</font> -> <font color="red">High</font>''' (Boss node can be nasty if you let those Wo and Nu shell) − *'''Resource usage: Assuming night battle needed at the boss node, it would cost 120 fuel 210 ammo when supplying.

Therefore, as a rule of thumb, if a ranking comp have the sum of '''fuel and ammo > 400''', it should be disregarded as it's too inefficient. − **By that logic, map 4-5 resource usage ''does'' exceed the 400 limit, but I decided to leave it there, as the boss node of 4-5 has a lot of good drops that you maybe interested in. Also, it only barely passes the 400 limit so I can give it an exception for now.
