My method for 5-4A Yamato-class leveling (I would suggest level 30+ with escort ships ~lvl50+):

Musashi (flagship with 2 46cm, best recon plane, Type 1 AP shell)

2 CA (Cut-in or double attack) or CL (double attack)

2 CVL (CV can be used as well, required for branching to easier node)

SS

Formation of Double Line has higher accuracy/ lower damage (generally raises CVL damage but lowers CA/CL damage for MVP considerations) and more flagship protection. I usually have 4 CVL set up for this so that I can rotate them. With 4 CVL you can deploy at least 4 times before fatigue and I switch to other things. Yamato class is a bit resource intensive to level, and I do it slowlywhen I have time.

For CVL, you need 72 AS to achieve air supremacy. 1 reppu or shinden k2 per CVL in size 16+ slots can achieve this; other slots can be anti-torpedo bulge, recon. Usually use 1 bomber in large slot or 2 bombers in small slots)  You can get a decent amount of xp on this map and level certain CA, CL.

Equipment used and artillery spotting type should be tweaked depending on how your ships do. You wont get MVP every time but the ratio of xp is much higher and you will get more XP cheaper. I find it much more reliable than trying to level in pvp.
