Second run, made it to the boss again. This time I added my Shiden Kai into the mix and managed to get air superiority. What a difference that makes. Killed everything except the boss and the him during the day, went to night and got annoyed because it looked like everyone was going to attack the hime, but Hotel-chan pulled through and finished off the boss. Woohoo, first real kill.

Third run, made it to boss again (seriously, I'm 3 for 3 on that now, everyone was saying how tough the middle node was...), though this time Zuikaku had moderate damage so she didn't get to participate as much. And sadly Kongou got knocked red by an unlucky hit from the boss. Still figured I should try night battle and Hotel-chan pulled through again! Second real kill. Keep this up, Hotel-chan, and I might actually start calling you by your name. Took a lot more damage this time, though...those repair bills...

I think I'm going to take a little break now (I've got a week and a half to clear this thing) but so far I seem to be on a roll.

Personally 3BB+3CV seems to be working pretty well for me. Of course they're not as tough as the BBs but they tend to have better evasion (well, except Taihou...). And I like having my carriers actually do something during shelling...if you only take two they have to carry basically nothing but fighters. And then there's the fact that I only have 6 46cm cannons and don't really have a good candidate for a fourth battleship (my Kongou class ships are all pretty high level but Kongou herself is the only one I'm married to and they're otherwise not as tough as the slower BBs...I have Mutsu but I haven't been leveling her as much...), so it just kind of makes more sense to do it this way.
