Yeah, but is there a particular reason you want to enter node M? Because it is possible to simply skip node M and just go L to P.

Well, anyway. I have good news and bad news for you.

The good news is, just recently I took a look at three other people's comps, made my own test runs, and believe that it is indeed possible to reach node P after opening the shortcut using STF, despite popular belief that only TCF can enter there (you'd be praying to RNG if using CTF, so I'll assume you don't want to do that).

The bad news is, I cannot guarantee that it will succeed, because what I have here is nothing more than a theory. A theory that I myself cannot test most likely because I already cleared this map. A theory that someone else would hopefully sacrifice resources and buckets to test (I mean, I'd offer to cover the costs if it were possible, but alas). So it's up to you whether you want to try it or keep praying to RNG.

In your STF fleet, bring no more than 1 European ship. Also, be sure that you have no more than 1 or 2 BB (all types) or CV(B) (if your European ship happen to be either a BB or CV, bring either 1 more or no more BB/CV(B)). You will be praying to RNG for routing from G unless you stick a DD in your main fleet. You are guaranteed H to L because you are running STF. If my theory holds, you should go L to P. If you bring 2 or more European ship, you are likely guaranteed to go L to O, which is not what you want. I don't know what will happen if you bring more than 2 BB/CV(B). You'll probably be offrouted or something. Perhaps place a CA in the escort fleet, as well.

Again, what I said above is nothing more than a theory; it's not confirmed. I based this info off what is mentioned on wikiwiki, with no solid evidence to back it up. If you choose to test this theory, you run the risk of getting offrouted and wasting what little resources you may have left.
