For 4-4, I personally fielded  lv40~ Takao, Chikuma (2 heavy cruisers to go from F-to G, Yuudachi Kai 2 69, Shigure Kai 2 65, Kaga 66 and Akagi 81.

Two 15.5cm secondaries on Takao+Sanshiki, Two secondaries+sanshiki+air radar on Chikuma, both yuudachi and shigure geared for double attack

for less chance of RNG screwing you over (not like you particularly need cut-in's firepower), and loading a lot of reppus on Akagi and Kaga. Pray you don't suffer

too much from air on the road, and that you actually reach the boss.

5-1 is easy, nothing much to comment on there.

5-2 I went with..Haruna 42 as flagship if I remember correctly, Kitakami-sama lvl 80, Iona around 53, Chitose Kai 65, Kaga 66 and Akagi 81. Remember to bring along Reppus and Saiuns- 5-2 is heavy on air too. As long as you have 1 light aircraft carrier and 2 aircraft carriers route to boss is guaranteed, so it's the usual pray along the road (I tend to prefer double line) and sink boss, whee.

5-3, however, is on a whole another level of praying. While Iona soaks up damage from light cruisers and destroyers by making them attack her instead of cutting in, you still need to pray that you don't get crit to red on the road (advancing with orange is totally fine). I personally went with Haruna 45 as flagship, 80 Kitakami sama, Yuudachi Kachi+Yukikaze, and Isuzu Kai 2 for sinking the submarine at boss node <---(this is seriously optional, you could line ahead and go for A+risky if you pull disadvantageous T)

It's also possible to decrease 5-3's boss gauge with submarines- I reached the node 2 times by luck and killed boss both times (A since subs can't attack each other).

Hope this helps.
