Well I'm happy that you value my opinion so much, but I didn't really do anything special. Standard 2 BB + 4 CV for the first fleet, CL + CA + CAV + 3 DD for the second.

BBs had 2x 46cm, Type 0 observation planes, and Type 14 radars. CA(V)s had 2x 20cm (either no. 2 or no. 3), Type 0 obs or 634 Zuiun, and Type 32 radars. DDs had 2x 10cm HA and Type 33 radars. CL...I actually used Ooyodo for kicks but there are probably better choices. 2x 15.2 cm, Typo 0 obs, and her command thingy.

For the CVs I had 8 Reppus and a Reppu kai between them. The kai went in Kaga's big slot. Kaga also got the Egusa Suisei in her smallest slots and the others were standard Reppus. Everyone else got 2 Reppus, either a Ryuusei kai or the Tomonaga Tenzan, and two of them had Saiuns in their small slots while the third had a Type 2 recon.

I never really got better than B rank on the pre-boss nodes since this was more optimized for shelling phase than opening air attack phase. But I always got at least air superiority (even when going the 'bad' route) and could kill the boss without even going to night battle. So whatever.
