Since there's far too little of note in #98, of course, I'm making a rare two-story set upload. As a result, this may feel like it reads a bit too quickly.
Yes, the south path. Some say the middle works better, but that is one extra battle risky. I just remembered I have to do the quarterly quest on this map TWICE again. I just hope I can get a sixth submarine from current event for it. I-26, I-401 here I come.
Middle path is better as it's a guaranteed route to boss. With the south path, you're prone to getting off-routed, but I guess it beats getting the north route.
I remember, the trick of this map is long sortie battle. I realized it when starting quests for pfd using ise class bbv and chiyoda chitose. Put a lot of strong pre emptive strike on this map with one girl as aa unit, your sorties will be a smooth one for 4 battles, sometimes the enemies already wipeout before shelling phase started.
So, even if you go astray, with 4/5 s rank battles the morale points don't get reduce much when you return and ready for another strike
