Combined Fleet Boss Aerial Support

This is my E-7 Easy composition. It is very bauxite heavy so be prepared to spend at least 20k on bauxite repairs even with Maya on AACL. I put my best torpedo bombers on the airfields and sent all 6 squads to boss node. For pre-final chipping runs you can choose to put an Akizuki-class DD on the escort fleet with an additional AACL setup for safer routing. Otherwise, put WG42 on the DDs if you have them and FCF on the main fleet flagship. If you have damecons and expansion slots, consider putting them on the DDs because they are the most vulnerable targets.

Combined Fleet: 1 FBB 1 CA (Maya) 4 CV + 2 DD 1 CL 1 FBB 2 CA

Boss Support Expedition: 2 CVL 2 CV 2 DD with all dive bombers on CV(L)s and all surface radars on DDs

Route: A-C-F-H-L-N is the safest route IMO but you may get routed A-C-F-I-J-L-N half the time which is almost the same thing with no ammo/fuel differences. I got routed A-C-F-I-J-M-N only once and the M node is a bit dangerous.

Final Dance tip: Put at least 1 dive bomber on each CV so that they focus on the other himes because she is the only installation ship in the final dance and the CVs won't attack her with dive bombers equipped. You want as few targets for night battle as possible so that your escort fleet has a fighting chance of sinking Central Hime. Good luck!
