Well...

Taihou: 3 Reppu + Saiun

Hiryuu: 3 Reppu + Ryuusei 601

Kongou: 46cm + 3 Recons

Hiei: 35.6cm, 35.6cm, 15.5cm (yellow), recon

Kitakami: 3 items from Sendai kai2 :D

Haguro: 20.3cm, 20.3cm, recon, 15.5cm (yellow)

Next time, I'll use my Yamato class I know this isn't the best place to give fleet advice or comment about these things, but your equipment setup just puzzled me so much that I had to ._.

Just advice btw, and anyone else who sees this, feel free to correct me if you think I'm wrong, that's fine.


 * With all those Reppuu that you're putting on your two CVs, you already have 298 fighter power (I'm assuming you're listing the planes in slot order), which is way overkill for even AS+ at the boss node; the boss node fighter power is 176, so you only need about 200 or so fighter power (accounting for planes shot down along the way; you can test exactly how many) to achieve AS+ at the boss node. That means you can replace at least one of those Reppuu on Taihou with a torpedo bomber, letting her attack.


 * I'm not sure why Kongou needs 3 recon seaplanes. You just need the first one to enable artillery spotting, normally if you decide to put more it's only for ELoS purposes, which you shouldn't have any problems with on this map...any extra slots not taken up by main guns and planes is best filled by AP ammo, radars, or sanshiki (especially important for this map, those sanshiki).


 * 46cm is overweight on FBBs, try not to use them...the accuracy penalty is pretty substantial unless your ship is significantly above level 100. It should be fine by itself, but normally you'd want to use at least two main guns on a BB to enable double-attacks during artillery spotting. And if you use two main guns, if one of them is a 46cm, that overweight accuracy penalty is really going to show itself.


 * I don't even know where to begin about Hiei's setup >.< please don't waste CA-level guns on BBs...


 * Kitakami needs a Type A Ko-hyoteki (midget sub), KTKM isn't KTKM without an opening torpedo attack D: Also, she's usually the best shot that you have at killing bosses, so equip her with either night double-attack or cut-in setup. CLTs never have any free slots to equip Sendai night battle equipment. Try putting one on Haguro instead, or simply bring just one CV instead of two so you can bring more CAs/CAVs. Or you could use the SS tanking method like most everyone else is using.
