2CAV, 2CA, 2DD or 4CA, 2DD is cheaper than 2FBB, 2CA, 2DD IF you have good CA like Prinz Eugen and Kai Ni Myoukou sisters.

For E-4 Easy, the drop in firepower is not that relevant, again IF the CAs are good. Plus, all can launch closing torpedo and pre-boss nodes are faster (only 1 shelling).

The CAVs serve mostly as parity in first node, supremacy in second node, chance to clear one or two enemy ships on airstrike and chance to shoot down a couple more bombers from CV Hime together with AACI (2x seaplane bomber + 2x red guns setup).

It costs less than 200 fuel and less than 300 ammo per sortie with some residual bauxite cost, plus any fuel, steel and buckets needed for repairs. With luck, they can score S rank on boss in Red T.
