I am just going through possiblity there.

Like i said, in all honesty I dont recommend CI on CA unless you are desperate in short of damage. and have luck feed them. Which most players will not have.

The more common way to setup an escort fleet is (assume we can use 2CLTs)

CL: Jintsuu double cannon + plane.

CLT 1(2): Double cannon + Midget sub

DD 1(2): triple tropedo (Yukikaze and Aynami, shigure since they ahve good luck stats). If one DD donest use CI, it is more than likely to be Teruzki for AA support (so 10cm HAX2+ AA radar) or Just a standard ship like Shimkaze (in taht case you can fit double cannon + star shell in). Evasion has diminshing return, so engine is not commonly used.

you want to use Triple tropedo because the differnece in damage is quite a lot. I did the math, it is 40 pts of damage. (more with critcal hit) I think this is worth it to have.

We only have 1 CA left. so that goes double cannon, + plane + star shell.

Viola, our whole fleet cant use spotlight, or skilled lookout or radar. (thats why it is common to have Ayanami on FS, to have spot light + 2 tropedo). since Ayanmi has lower luck, FS and spotlight help with tirgger CI. and protect her pre boss to some extent.

You shouldnt really lack CA. If you have all Myoukou class K2, thats 4. Maya tahts 5.

Adding the CAV, tone + chikuma .. That is 7 already. Assume you have a few as backup.

Choukai with out K2 is fine to use in earier maps, so are Atago, Takao. Mogami class. Usually you can add up to like 10.

I really dont think any eveent you need 10 CA(V)s.

I like to say Choukai is quite good CA even wihout K2.

Always glad to help! ^_^
