>that depends on how well T97 931 works, if it works well enough, then Toukai is a luxury, if it works like shit, then no.
It works like shit
>Even Toukai cannot take out subhime
Yes it can

On the left, I used the simulator to try sending 4 Toukais (2 from Fall 2017, 1 from Winter 2018, and 1 from the quest) against the SS Princess and 3 elite So-class in echelon formation, which is the most common (and most dangerous) enemy spawn from E3F. On the right, I simulated sending 1 Toukai and 3 931st Air Group T97 bombers against the same. This is the best alternative that isn't time restricted, although to get it, you'd have to burn blueprints by farming Ryuuhou. None of the the simulated ships have ASW gear because you're not going to face LD with that shit.

You can see the 4 Toukai base actually has a 19% chance of outright killing the entire enemy fleet before the battle even begins (represented by the simulator displaying air parity instead of air supremacy). The taiha/chuuha rates are about halved compared to the newbie base. The chance of getting an S-rank rises from 0.1% to 25% (a 250-fold increase). There's a world of difference between a player who has 4 Toukai and someone who doesn't.

But, at least in this event, you still have the option of praying for the line abreast enemy spawn. Winter 2019's submarine node always came in echelon formation.
