So, after tearing my hair out trying to find a quick, painless and resource/bucket-friendly way to deal with Bw7 (clear 5x world3 bosses from either 3-3/3-4/3-5), and being endlessly frustrated with 3-5, I think I might have stumbled upon one.

World 3-3: CA [Maya], 2CV/L, and either [3SS] or [SS 2CLT]

- Maya is Kai2'd and is equipped for AACI but with a red gun for extra firepower (see: http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Maya#comm-229487),

- CV's have at least two Reppuu each, and high powered torpedo bombers - in my case, I have Kaga with a Reppuu (601 Air), 2x Reppuu and a Tenzan (Tomonaga), alongside Akagi with 2x Reppuu, a Ryuusei (601 Air) and a Saiun, and they generally get Air Supremacy the majority of the time (http://www.kancolle-calc.net/aircrafts.html reports 265 Air Power with this setup, probably overkill lol). If just Air Superiority is okay for you, changing to lower powered CV or CVL can work - I may see how Unryuu and Amagi fare once I clear this, to test.

- SS have engines of some description - I run a lv95 U-511 with two +10 evasion boilers. CLTs are in the usual 15.5cm Secondary and minisub setup. The 2CLT SS setup is for higher torpedo power and extra shelling, while the 3SS setup was a test for comedy and requires a little luck, but also works pretty well in spreading the depth charge attacks from any enemy DD/CL still alive - my first try with 3SS ended up clearing.

World 3-4 is out of the question due to how random everything is, and 3-5 is horrible on resources/buckets, so this works really well for me so far, but YMMV. So far, I'm 4/9 on attempts in one afternoon - a couple of deadends, and a few forced retreats due to the weaker CLT/SS taking more damage from enemy bombers and BB shelling - but the majority of the time, I've breezed to the boss without so much as a scratch.
