E-5 Medium mode:

15 Sorties, 4 retreats, 7 failures to beat the boss, 4 succesful boss kills.

Route: A - C - E - G/H - J

First fleet:

Katori Kai (lvl 41):

10cm + AA Director / 10cm + AA Director / Fleet Command Facility / Damecon

Yamato Kai (lvl 79) (lvl 80 Mutsu pre-final kill):

46cm / 46cm (51cm on Mutsu) / Type 0 Obs. Seaplane / AP Shell

Fusou Kai Ni (lvl 81):

41cm Prototype / 35.6cm Prototype / AP Shell / Zuiun Model 12 (Considered Seiran, but thought the FP on Zuiun would be more useful. No 46cm due to accuracy)

Yamashiro Kai Ni (lvl 82):

41cm Prototype / 41cm Prototype / AP Shell / Zuiun Model 12

Haruna Kai Ni (lvl 94) (Kongou was also used, lvl 86):

41cm / 41cm / Ar196 / FuMO25 Air Radar (Had 46cm guns before, but her accuracy was bad enough that I changed to these and it worked well)

Taihou Kai (lvl 95):

Reppuu (601) / Reppuu (601) / Reppuu / Damecon (Had a torpedo bomber on the last slot for majority of the runs, but I deemed it was less useful than a damecon, as she would run out of them by the boss node, and her accuracy was bad. Also, she was needed to survive until the boss node so Fleet Command Facility did not help her.)

Second fleet:

Ayanami Kai Ni (lvl 73):

61cm Quint Torpedo / 61cm Quad Torpedo / Searchlight

Bismarck Drei (lvl 91):

38cm Kai / 38cm Kai / Type 0 Obs. Seaplane / AP Shell (Again, 38cm Kai instead of 46cm due to accuracy)

Shigure Kai Ni (lvl 85):

61cm Quint Torpedo / 61cm Quint Torpedo / Starshell

Sendai Kai Ni (lvl 81) (Kuma lvl 73 was used for majority of the runs):

SKC34 20.3cm / SKC34 20.3cm / Night Recon Seaplane

Kitakami Kai Ni (lvl 89):

Midget Sub / 15.5cm Secondary / 15.5cm Secondary

Ooi Kai Ni (lvl 88):

Midget Sub / 15.5cm Secondary / 15.5cm Secondary

Used both supports for the final kill, mostly a mix of main guns, dive bombers and radars on them. Everyone was sparkled, and the supports activated always. Usually took down 1-3 enemy ships, even sunk a Ru-Kai once.
