Totaku's Proposal
E-2 Operation will involving organizing your fleet to complete 2 major task before completing the entire maps.
- Complete a Transport Operation
- Take out the Supply Depot Princess at Punket
Complete the Transport Operation
Fleet Recommendation
1CA, 1CAV, 1CL, 3 DD
Path: A-C-D-F-G-I
If you are playing on a Medium of hard difficulty, consider using ships that can be good in both transports and Anti-Installation combat to help out with the fight.
As like most transport operations, you will need to organize a balance between transport supplies and Combat equipment. Since this operation will involve using a single fleet it's suggested to bring at most 4 Drum Canisters or Daihatsu (preferred).
Your CAV should have at least 1 Seaplane Fighter to ensure that you'll gain air superiority (as the Transport boss has no air power)
While moving through the nodes, use the Vanguard formation to improve your chances of survival until reaching the boss node.
The boss fleet will consist of a Heavy Cruiser Princess along with a few CAs and DDs. Using an LBAS full of Land Base Bombers is recommended to take care of the enemies on this boss fight there fore the following LBAS should be considered:
Recommended LBAS
4 Land Base Bombers/ Torpedo Bombers
If your fleet is capable enough they should gain score consistent A or S ranks at the boss node clearing this map easily.
Defeating the Supply Depot Princess
1 CV, 1CA, 1CAV, 3 DD
1 CV, 1 BB(V),1 CAV, 0-1 CL, 2-3 DD
Path: D-F-E-K-M-O
In this phase your fleet will need to be armed to deal with Anti-Installation combat since the main target the operation . Because of the high air power in K and O, you will need to have a Carrier that will be equipped with only fighters (some one that isn't Akagi, Souryuu, Hiryuu, Shoukaku and Zuikaku is preffered since they're important for E-3)
All your CA(V)s, and BB(V) should be armed with Type 3 Shell to help battle against the Supply Depot Princess at the boss nodes.
As for your CL and DDs, use what ever WG42s, Daihatsu, Daitatsu Landing Craft, and Type 2 Ka-Mi Tanks
