No way, I'm done with Takao. Just got my third kill after dumping Takao. This one took a wopping two tries...meaning that I'm still 3 out of 4 for successful kills since I dropped Takao. I was seriously 0 out of 20+ attempts when Takao was in my fleet...I feel like a friggin curse has been lifted. Plus it's so much cheaper to do these runs without her.

This is the setup that's been working for me: Iona (of course), Kitakami, Nagato, Mutsu, Akagi, and Kaga. I actually put turbines on Nagato and Mutsu because dodging is everything when facing the big guns. By the way, Akagi+Kaga fucking rock. They easily get air superiority every time, protect the rest of my ship from the enemy carriers, and do hella awesome damage in the shelling phase. More than my battleships by a large margin. Plus their opening attack plus Iona and Kitakimi's torpedos take care of most of the small fry before the battle even started. And I'm only spending maybe 200-250 bauxite for the entire map. All the way to the boss fight. That's easily affordable. Who the hell said you shouldn't use carriers on this map? Lunacy.
