'''Locking Recommendation'''
'''Locking Recommendation'''
On Hard difficulty, several considerations should be taken into account (as these will also affect your potential options for E-3, the final map).
# Do you have [[Nagato]] Kai 2 / [[Mutsu]] Kai 2 and [[Nelson]]?
# Do you have [[Nagato|Nagato K2]], [[Mutsu|Mutsu K2]], and/or [[Nelson]]?
# Do you have the majority of allied force ship including [[Nelson]], [[Iowa]], [[Saratoga]], [[Jervis]], [[Warspite]], [[Intrepid]], [[Johnston]], and [[Fletcher]]?
# Do you have the majority of Allied ships, i.e. [[Nelson]], [[Iowa]], [[Saratoga]], [[Jervis]], [[Warspite]], [[Ark Royal]], [[Intrepid]], [[Johnston]], and [[Fletcher]]? ([[Richelieu]] if she is not locked to E-1?)
# Do you have other Axis force ships such as [[Prinz Eugen]], [[Italia]], [[Roma]], ects?
# Do you have other Axis force ships such as [[Prinz Eugen]], [[Italia]], [[Roma]], [[Bismarck]], [[Pola]], [[Zara]], and [[Garibaldi]]?
# Do you plan to challenge Hard on E-3 after this?
# Do you plan to challenge Hard on E-3 after this?
# If so, how do you intend to split your existing resources between E-2 and E-3?
If you meet all the requirements, you can consider using the guide below as it will cover mostly hard mode preparations. If you agree with 5 but not will all the above options, you should consider your options before taking on this map. Otherwise, if you plan to do Medium or less, there is no reason to hold back on who your bring to get the best out of your fleet as E-3 will have '''no lock''' on Medium or less.
If you are confident that you have sufficient resources to split between E-2 and E-3, you can consider using the guide below as it will cover mostly Hard mode preparations. Otherwise, if you plan to do Medium or less, there is no reason to hold back on who your bring to get the best out of your fleet as E-3 will have '''no lock''' on Medium or below. A rough outline of possible asset allocation (hello, economics 101, scarcity) follows.
Also note that current research suggests that [[Ark Royal]], [[Jervis]], and Italian ships in general have the highest bonus modifiers for the E-2 P2 boss (E-2 P1 boss is essentially an anti-installation equipment check). Allied ships generally appear to have higher bonus modifiers for the E-3 P2 boss. The E-3 P1 boss is generally vulnerable to anti-installation set-ups, and also takes torpedo damage into account.
*[[Nelson]]: More suited to E-3 due to her versatility in triggering her special attack with other ships. Mutsu and Nagato require a BB to do so (which is arguably much less useful in E-3, given the amount of anti-installation combat involved).
**She will need a speed boost set-up (turbine + boiler) for E-3 P1, however, due to speed restrictions.
*[[Mutsu]]/[[Nagato]]: More suited for E-2 Part 2, as it is a typical surface combat node (no anti-installation combat involved).
**If not speed-boosted and/or running a superheavy fleet, they will take a longer route, however.
*[[Garibaldi]]: The case can be made for use in both E-2 as well as E-3.
**If locked to E-2, her sister [[Duca degli Abruzzi]] can be powerlevelled relatively quickly post-clear to fill in for E-3 instead.
*[[Italia]] and [[Roma]]: Generally more useful here due to the higher Italian bonus modifier, as well as the Fast fleet requirement for the shortest route.
*[[Ark Royal]]: Very high bonus modifier on E-2, useful here.
*[[Johnston]] and [[Fletcher]]: Higher bonus modifier on E-3, although it may be viable to split 1 each between E-2 and E-3 if there is a need for this.
*[[Jervis]]: Could be used in either E-2 or E-3, depending on what other resources you have available.
*[[Prinz Eugen]]: Again, could be used on either map.
*[[Iowa]]: More useful for E-3 due to higher modifier there. No apparent bonus on E-2(?).
*[[Colorado]]: Same as Iowa, although her very specific requirements for her special attack to trigger limit her usefulness there (especially given that E-3 requires anti-installation equipment).
*[[Saratoga]] and [[Intrepid]]: More useful for E-3 due to higher modifier there. No apparent bonus on E-2(?).
*[[Pola]]: Probably more useful for E-2 (higher modifier), somewhat viable in E-3.
*[[Zara]]: Higher modifier for E-2 as well, but depending on locks, may be more useful in E-3 instead.
*[[Bismarck]]: Whatever.
