I followed all the usual advice as well, but ended up going with a CTF for the final kill.

I know people say that's dumb/not needed/bad idea/etc, but after hitting the final kill I threw a STF at the boss about 15 times with zero success (couldn't even kill the himes in the back row). Then I switched to CTF and wiped it out in two runs.

Yes, the path is longer. It's also not especially hard or dangerous. CTF lets you get AS while still having an opening bomber strike and at least one bomber on each carrier. Wouldn't recomend it for HP chipping, but for the final kill it worked wonders for me.
