Yeah, after repairing naturally to conserve buckets, I switched to #1: 4CV 2FBB & #2 4DD CL CA for the second attempt and breezed to the boss via node B - didn't take a single hit on the way. I suspect that this might be the more optimal setup since node A on the first attempt had two Wo-class, while B on the second attempt only had one, so it might help retain planes. I'm still running with 4x Saiun (on the CVs) and 2x Type 0 Recon (on the FBBs) with assorted blue and green planes in the first fleet, for over 60 equipment LoS, so it should be okay this way.

The boss's escorts seem to take a lot of punishment, but thankfully my second fleet picked them off somewhat quickly (with the help of moderately damaged Kongou and Haruna - Midway Princess hits really hard >.<;; and I suspect she targeted them as they had a Sanshiki each equipped), so all the second fleet did during night battle was chip away at her health, before Atago got pissed off at how slow they were going, and hit her for a double-crit at 160+ each hit.

Thanks for the help. ^_^ Hopefully I can plow through E-4 quickly, as I want to get Unryuu ASAP from E-5, both for another carrier to use, and for the awesome planes that come with/via her. I don't think my fleet is capable of rescuing Isokaze from E-6, though, because as a relatively new admiral many of my ships are currently underlevelled. -_-;;
