Not going to be using the template, since it doesn't count the second fleet, who still count in the branching just as much as the first fleet does:

E-3 Hard Mode, 4 Sorties, 4 Clears:

Route: C-E-H-K

First Fleet:

CVL (Hiyou): Reppuu / Ryuusei Kai / Ryuusei Kai / 15.5cm Secondary Gun

FBB (Bismarck Drei): 46cm / 46cm / Type 1 AP Shell / Ar196 Kai

CAV (Tone): 20.3cm no.3 / 20.3cm no.2 / Seiran / Type 14 Radar

BB (Mutsu): 51cm / 46cm / Type 1 AP Shell / Type 0 Observation Seaplane

CV (Zuikaku): Reppuu / Reppuu / Ryuusei (601 Air Group) / SCAMP

CV (Taihou): Reppuu (601 Air Group) / Reppuu (601 Air Group) / Tenzan (Tomonaga Squadron) / SCAMP

Second Fleet:

DD (Ikazuchi, luck modernized): Torpedo / Torpedo / Searchlight

DD (Shimakaze): 10cm (Akizuki's one) / 10cm / Type 13 Radar Kai

DD (Yuudachi): 10cm (Akizuki's one) / 10cm / Type 13 Radar Kai

CA (Haguro): 20.3cm no.3 / 20.3cm no.3 / Night Recon Seaplane / FuMO25 Radar

DD (Shigure): Torpedo / Torpedo / Star Shell

CL (Kuma): SKC34 20.3cm / SKC34 20.3cm / Type 0 Observation Seaplane

I used the Quick Response combined fleet option (the blue one). It worked well, but I'm not sure if it is the better option. The first node might result in a quick retreat by enemy torpedoes with this option. Second fleet was completely sparkled, first fleet was also sparkled for the most part.
