You only use the best planes such as the Egusa squadron and Tomanaga squadron in your main fleet.

Stuka planes...yeah only for ASW if you don't have any advanced ASW equipments unless you love those german planes. [Actually you have Akitsumaru so...yeah]

Equipments....make sure you have the list stated above improved. Honestly, i think you should focus on others cuz you have already owe Akizuki for AACI equipments so its kinda waste of screws. Ah, support expeditions. Hehe, never touched them since Fall 2014. Those were the reason I ran out of time and resources. Failed sortie after failed sortie with double or even triple the resupply cost... Then I finally quit using support expeditions and it takes less than 5 runs to get Prinz.

I tried it again during the Spring event when I noticed people discovered better support loadouts.

ie: previously it was recommended to use 4 main guns on battleships, 3 main guns on destroyers, and 4 red bombers on CVs, but then people discovered radars were more effective.

It still didn't help me one bit. I would never have gotten Akitsushima if I tried support expeditions. I just refuse to use them, simply put.

Stuka planes? Sorry, new word to me. I don't use Prinz' planes that often, if that's what you mean by German planes. Observation Planes are better, right?

Yeah, 3 Liaisons and 3 Gyros make mincemeat of 1-5.

Honestly, I need a weekly reminder on the 2 days Mikuma can be used to tap No.3s, because I've had a mind to do it, but I keep forgetting constantly.

I only have 3 of Akizuki's guns, and I don't necessarily need more for AACI, since I know only 1 ship can perform it per battle, but the stats are what make that gun good. Just a beefier 12.7 Late Model.
