>I myself was exp grinding in E5 since you get to grind without spending any ammo at all.
That's the reason devs introduced exp scaling, those 2 nodes were too fucking good.

I killed roughly 8 something thousand subs in 4 days. Shit was best grinding spot ever.

Subs should go B->F->I->L->N->O unless I'm missing something. I scrappsubs at sight so I can't check. Only 2 nodes can force retreat, node F and node I. If anyone goes to red at N you can safely advance since nothing can hit subs there. Node F can only red someone with lolcrit. Node I has only one formation that can attack subs, and even then your subs have 2 chances to wreck those destroyers first. Odds are, you'll pass those 2 nodes 90% of time.
Usually the battle animation would take about 1 minute. Back when I was grinding E5 subs nodes I timed the time it took, 1 minute 20 seconds on average, not counting night battle I was going at around 23-27 sorties per hour there for a whole day without breaks to make this. 5 minutes should be enough to complete the 5-4 run.

Yes. It's fucking random. Stop spouting shit.

It's random. Fucking random. R-a-n-d-o-m.

Fatigue is no problem. You can easily do at least 25 sorties per hour with the same S rank you'll get waiting for fatigue. ASW formation gives some silly bonuses.

> Won't your escort fleet be blasted once an echelon or fatigue kicks in?
Combined Fleet ASW formation has some silly accuracy and damage bonus. I've seen 0 fatigue orange unremodeled DD hitting flag So in head-on engament for 30+ damage with just 2 pieces of crap ASW. And that wasn't a crit since there was no crit flashy and damage was below 40. Zero fatigue is not a real problem, my level <30 girls were still getting A/S ranks just fine. B was a rarity, and I got C only once.
Rocking ~12 exp/hour for everything and triple that for flagships is the best part of fatigue grinding.

Decided to blew my last buckets, I still have 113 now in case devs pull a fast one and add Yahagi to E6, and still above cap in everything but steel. Going A or B is pure random. Whoever's still doing E5, prey our Lord and Saviour, or whatever voodoo magick you believe in, since I tried a lot of retarded shit from wikiwiki reports while I'm at it.

On a semi-related note, whenever you go south while grinding I advise to continue till the boss node. Sub nodes take at least about the same time to complete battle animation in best case scenarios, usually they take 30 or so more seconds. Marginally increased resource consumption is worth the trouble for increased EXP per sanity per hour rate.
