This map will make use of the new '''[[Striking Force Fleet]]''' so if you wish to use it, please remember to organize your '''3rd Fleet''' and use 7 ships.
'''Also note that CV/ CVB are not allowed on this map'''
Fleets from E-1 can be also used for E-2 as they share the same tag on later difficulties.
Like the previous operation, getting access to the boss will require a step by step process which will require you to complete certain requirements before getting to the point where you can do the actual TP phase of the operation.
The first starting point is located far away and will be impossible to reach the boss node with your fleet under normal conditions, but if you complete a series of steps, you can unlock a new staring path closer to the boss which should help you successfully complete the TP part of the Operation much easier.
'''Getting access to the New Starting Node'''
To create the 2nd Starting point you will need to complete certain condition which are as followed:
* Score an S rank on '''Node J ''''''(required on all difficulties)'''
* Score an Air superiority and/or S rank on '''Nodes C and D'''. (Normal and Hard Only)
Completing these conditions will allow you access to the 2nd starting point.
'''Recommended Composition:'''<br>
'''Node C Clearing'''<br>
2 CAV / AV/[[Akitsumaru]], 1CL, 4 DD
'''Node D Clearing'''<br>
1 CA(V), 1 CVL, 1 CL, 4 DD
'''Node J Clearing'''<br>
2 CA, 1-2 CL, 3-4DD 0-1 AV (ASW Focused)
'''Gaining Air Control of nodes C and D'''
Completing these two nodes will require less work if you have the appropriate ships to do the task, however, without certain ships, the task becomes more difficult. You will also need a Land Base Air Squadron consisting of Fighters / Interceptors that can reach a distance of 4 or higher. to hit node C and D.
For '''Node D''' simply bring a fighter filled CVL and focus your LBAS full of fighters/ interceptors on this node. It should be easy to gain air control over this node.
Gaining Control of '''Node C''' will require more work due to the fact you can't use CVL.
The following methods are known to have work:
* Use [[Akitsumaru]] and have her use fighter planes along with a fighter based LBAS. (Easiest to achive AS with)
* Arming an AVs or CAVs with many maxed trained [[Type 2 Seaplane Fighter Kai]] (approximately 6 or more) or more powerful equivalants along with an LBAS full of fighters and interceptors (Harder to achive AS with)
* Arming an AVs or CAVs with many Zuiun type seaplane (approximately 8 or more) or more powerful equivalants along with an LBAS full of fighters and interceptors. (Very difficulty to achive AS with)
Keep in mind that for node C you may need to extensitvely adjust the amount of Seaplane you use to achive success at these nodes. In addition, do remember to '''advance to the next node to allow the AS' S rank requirements to count when doing Node C and D'''
'''Beating Node J'''
Node J will feature a mixed fleet that consists of a [[New Submarine Princess]] along with a group of submarines and surface ships. Having an ASW fleet is highly preffered. A fleet with Pre-ASW is even more preffered, especially on harder difficulties.
In addition, you can take advantage of your LBAS squadrons new ASW LBAS attacks which require you to arm your fleet with planes that have '''7 ASW''' or higher to perform ASW bombings on the subs. Using this in combination should easily defeat the [[New Submarine Princess]] and her fleet helping you score an S-rank.
Once all conditions are complete, you should access to the 2nd Starting Point.
