OK, you need to have a good read at the Combat page.

Main fleet:

- Nagato: Pasta guns have accuracy penalty, which will become VERY evident in combined fleets, unless they are Akashi improved. If your pasta guns are stock, 2x 41cm + seaplane + AP shell is best for Nagato.

- Yamato: Same problem with pasta guns as Nagato. 46cm Triple or that 51cm gun would be OK for her, even if it overcaps day battle firepower.

- Yamashiro: Zuiun in wrong slot, put it in 23 plane slot. Make Fusou and Yamashiro with same setup - Prototype 41cm + 35.6cm + AP shell + seaplane bomber.

- Maya: I understand that her only purpose in your fleet is to AACI, but you can make her more useful. Best red gun + 90mm HA + 25mm concentrated + FuMO25. Same api, better AA (more chance to trigger), more firepower. Still single attack, but with more bang.

- Hiryuu: If you only want the CV as reppuu mule, Kaga is better. Don't tell me that you don't have Kaga ... And are stock reppuus your best fighters? No Reppuu 601? No Zero M53?

Escort fleet:

- Haruna: Ideally, it should be Bismarck drei, but if you don't have her that's OK. And again, that pasta gun ... 2x 35.6cm + seaplane (night scout is fine) + AP shell/radar/searchlight.

- ABKM: Replace that radar for a red/yellow gun. Give radar to Maya. There you go, night double attack with opening torpedo.

- Ooi: Replace that Quint O2 for a red/yellow gun. There you go, night double attack with opening torpedo.

- Shigure and Yukikaze should be lower in the fleet order, so that the ones in double attack can take out the enemy escorts and the cut-ins have clear shots on the boss.

Did you notice that i don't like pasta guns? Sure they have very long range, but the accuracy penalty in combined fleets is deadly. Want to use them? Akashi upgrades to eliminate the penalty.
