I'm going to be honest here: the answer is technically yes, realistically unlikely.

The big deal with 2-4 is that you need a durable fleet, because you WILL get hit along the way to the boss, and you need a LOT of firepower to stomp boss, especially if you get the flagship/multiple elites/normal BB layout (like I did). That's why people normally say 4bb2cv; they have fantastic firepower and shittons of armor/hp.

However. Since most of your ships are good at night battle, you CAN still pull out a win if you get lucky on the way there, don't get hit too hard by the boss node ships (good luck with that), and shitwreck them in night battle. It'll be close but you COULD do it.

I'd say give it a try or two, see how things go, and unless you get lucky, prepare to either sub cheese it or get through it the same way everyone else did. It really only takes a few days of prep at worst so don't go crazy, though.

Highlights from the first one:

- Next big event might make people actually worry about running out of bauxite (they imply later it might be based off of Midway)

- Hidden parameters separate light and heavy cruisers, so for example light cruisers can't fully utilize 20.3cm guns even though they can equip them.

-The want to make new systems where, for example, the boss moves around the map.

-Internal differences exist between main gun and auxiliary gun slots.

-Marriage already internally implemented, removes level cap

-For Midway event, enemy might get VT信管 (some kind of weapon I think)

they have to be very careful in how much they increase bauxite useage for using holo planes.

i wouldn't mind an increase for having holo planes shot down, but an increase just for using holo planes could easily cripple the class because bauxite generation is so slow and they need a full stack of holo to be useful in places like 3-4 and world 5.

Kiso was sent to dry dock on 4 April 1943 for a major refit, during which its 900-mm searchlights were replaced by three Type 96 1100-mm searchlights.

It may well be, I just need it to be a lot bigger than that if I don't want to get a headache from eye strain.

Maybe I'll just try to get flash projector or something to work, since all I really care about is that it doesn't slow down to a crawl when it loses focus.

It's the first map that has multiple nodes with relatively difficult enemy ships that must be gone through in order to hit the boss - DD/CL/CAs really only do scratch damage generally, but especially elite/flagship BBs can put out enough raw damage to take a ship down to orange or red instantly, and enemy BBs start showing up by the second node on each path of the map.

If you get a ship crit to red on the way to the boss, you either retreat, have a repair fairy equipped (not really worthwhile for an early map), or press on and risk losing a girl. People are generally gonna go with option A there, thus 2-4's difficulty.

Also, I'm not sure that people realize there's this thing called NOT USING LINE FUCKING AHEAD ALL THE TIME. It's trivially easy to get to boss node using line abreast, whereas line ahead penalizes your armor, in addition to not giving abreast's armor boost (so even less armor comparatively) on top of no evasion boost.

Not even close, friend. If you're using fucking DDs, sure, but BBs will oneshot enemy DD/CLs for sure and usually CAs as well, and unless you did WAY too much grinding and had 46cms on everyone, you weren't going to oneshot BBs anyways.

Also, the simple fact of the matter is that enemies WILL get shots off here and there, and line abreast is -so- much better at dealing with it that even if you take 1-2 more shots each engagement, the overall damage taken will still be vastly less than line ahead.

Stop talking out of your ass. BB with 141 fire power and line abreast formation modifier and no critical modifier calculation goes like this.
(141 + 5 [firepower added for all shelling damage]) * 0.60 [modifier for line abreast] * 1.00 [parallel engagement modifier, this number can go as low as 0.60 for red-T] * 1.00 [1.50 for crit] = 87.6 calculated damage.

Final damage dealt = calculated damage - enemy armour * (2/3 ~ 4/3)

Taking a flagship Ho-class CL for example

Final damage dealt = 87.6 - 36 * (2/3 ~ 4/3) = 87.6 - (24 ~ 48) = 63.6 ~ 39.6

Considering that the FL Ho-class have 53 HP and assuming that the armour modifier is randomly distributed and not a Gaussian distribution, there's 56% chance of not 1HKO'ing the FL Ho-class, and even higher chance of not 1HKO'ing a FL CA.

tl;dr: Line abreast a shit.

Just to state this again mathematically, the only benefit of your levels for this specific situation is increased evasion. And going from 80 to 85 evasion is still fucking nothing in the grand scheme.

You don't HAVE to use it, but it synergizes fantastically with the 4bb2cv setup that is commonly suggested. Line Abreast gives extra durability so you get maximum value from your armor; coupled with their large HP pools, you can pretty reliably get to the boss while taking no more than scratch damage, and then go Line Ahead on boss and blow them up without even needing to go to night battle.

It's certainly possible to clear 2-4 with other formations, and line ahead is... not optimal but certainly viable, but if you're going with 4bb2cv or something similar, line abreast will give you a LOT of bang for your buck. And honestly, as long as they're modernized, you shouldn't even have any trouble killing enemy ships while in line ahead, even the BBs. Initial airstrike is not affected by your formation anyways, and with no torpedo cruisers, line abreast's penalty to torpedo accuracy is irrelevant.

If you're ok with the occasional bit of scratch damage on other ships, and maybe refreshing if you hit the very bottom node, 4-1 lets you generally do 2 nodes per sortie for almost as high xp.

They aren't until you unlock 3-3 which drops Imuya often enough. Goya is harder to obtain and the other two aren't even available yet for the people who didn't do the event. For those that did do the event though, Iku was a freebie. Hachi is the least common sub by far.

Subs are only useful solo to obtain resources, as tanks in grinding nodes, and as a group for dailies. They aren't very useful for clearing maps in mixed compositions because the enemy ships that do the most damage can't target subs.

Any transaction between a Japanese bank and an oversea individual/company is fastidious and with extra fee at the end of the tunnel.
Add also paypal inherent percentage on any transaction and you wouldn't really get anything worthwhile.

There is no reason to pay extra for an oversea service that doesn't benefit a single bit their only demographic, the nips.

This is one of the reasons why jp auctionners often put oversea shipping unavailable by default. Aside of the obvious language barrier and international shipping issue, it is just a pain for payments and so forth.

For all the admirals that still can't clear 2-4: stop wasting resources for crafting and start exping your kanmusu in 2-4 node A till they're refitted and have 5 stars.
The common way to clear it is with 4 BB and 2 CV/CVL, there's no need for game breaking ships like Nagato sisters, Shoukaku sisters or any of the rarest kanmusu, the most common one will do since with the right strategy and equip they'll do fine.
This is my winning fleet, Fusou/Yamashiro are common drop and Ise/Hyuga drop often in 2-4 node A, the only one you really need to farm for is Akagi, she really helps, Mogamin was an extra since i had no CVL high enough to make a difference, and i really wanted to clear that map asap so went with her.

Regarding eqiupemnt, all 4 BB had Zuiun with 3 cannons, i don't remember atm but probably used other stuff like 20cm cannons to fill up spaces since had very few 41/35cm cannons at the time, Akagi was equipped with 2 red planes and 2 blue planes (red on last 2 slots), Mogamin had 2 20cm cannons and 2 Zuiun (night battle double attack helps for the killing blow).
The strat is easy, when you get all your fleet ready (remember: refit+5star+decent gear) go to 2-4 and try till you can get the right route (A > K > L > O > J, A > F > G > I > J), any other route = F5 or retire after the first battle since you wont be able to reach the boss with enough resources, or you'll just waste time reaching a side node.
For the actual progress, always use Line Abreast formation, after day battle push forward and don't seek night battle (left button) to save resources, if any of your kanmusu goes in the red before the boss node you'll probably want to retire, i'll leave this decision to your judgement.
For boss node use Line Ahead, the planes should help a ton with initial bombing phase and clean out any CL/DD or at least damage any BB/CA, pray the RNG goddess and go night battle if you didn't kill the boss right away.

Good Luck

If you can afford the fuel/ammo cost why not, Mutsu and Nagato are the strongest BB available through craft, and even at level 30~35, if you can get some 41cm cannons and Type 91 bullets, you'll most likely one hit any ship, even a BB, and since you already have Akagi you can fill the last slot with anything, for example, putting i-58 might be a good idea for tanking DD/CL with line abreast and evade any chip damage from pre-boss nodes, or go Atago with a double attack setup (2x red) and fill up the other slots with planes to get stats and help with opening attack.

Not really. You're still probably going to get hit at least once or twice in the battle in the nodes vs multiple BBs/CVs so having the armor to turn that into scratch damage at worst and the evasion to negate most of the few hits you do get is incredibly important. Additionally, the preemptive airstrike doesn't give a fuck about your formation, so you'll still get the same prebattle waveclear, and you're essentially guaranteed to make it to the boss with minimal damage unless you didn't bother modernizing or compass fucks you over.

Line Ahead is great for getting S-ranks, but on the way to 2-4 boss you don't give a fuck what rank you get before the boss node, just that you get there with as much health as possible.

It really surprises me how little people actually think about formation. Line Ahead is great, but it's not the only one, and it's far from a one-size-fits-all formation. Same as idiots in every game who think maximum damage is the only useful tactic, I guess?

Go unlock 3-2 now, 3-1 is a joke, and start spamming 3-2 Node A using 1 or 2 CV with only blue planes, 1 or 2 BB and 2 random ships to exp (the one you want to exp in the flagship slot), Kongou sisters drop very often from perfect s rank, and you'll get good exp without incurring in major damages, things will improve when you'll be able to swap out extra ships (bb) for a torpedo cruiser with type a minisubs equipped.

After unlocking 3-2 you should focus on Ooi/Kitakami, since their opening torpedo attack makes a difference in most battles, and Chiyoda/Chitose for type A torpedoes from their lv12 refit.
Cool stuff about 3-2 is that you'll always go north since south nodes are accessible only with a 6xDD fleet, after first battle retire, don't go to the last node since you'll most likely get trashed, that node is filled with elite CA/CV/BB.

Solo 2-4 with only Imuya? Not gonna happen, every node has at least 1DD and 2CL they'll attack her, and seeing how ASW was greatly buffed, if her level isn't high enough (80+) she'll probably get in the red on first node, you can have better chances with 3+ subs since opening torpedo attack with probably target the dd/cl (not guaranteed, but happens quite often).

So, has anyone else ever experienced your double attack setup failing and only firing single shots before? I've had it happen to me a few times I thought I was just imagining things the first time it failed.

Depends a lot on what you are going fight, most "endgame" maps have quite too many elite BB/CA so you want to stack on red planes since blue planes do chip damage on heavily armoured ships, on other hand if enemy fleet has many light ships (CL/DD) you want to clean as many as possible with opening attack so you equip mostly blue planes, if there're carriers equip green planes too to prevent yours from being destroyed in opening attack, just remember that red planes bombardment attack misses quite often.
I usually equip the medium slots with Suisei/Ryuusei and the big one with Reppu, while the 4th has always Sayun, just remember that if you use multiple CV/CVL 1 Sayun per fleet is enough to prevent T cross.
