E-6 Hard through the middle route (H-K-M-O) with a CTF is viable.

A 4 slot CL (for carrying night scout and searchlight while able to DA) and 3 CLT on escort fleet help a lot along the way, and can score S-rank at node H if the carriers do NOT bring dive bombers. Able to get AS at all nodes. The opening airstrike has potential to wipe the trash mobs, allowing focus fire on the important targets. Needs a very good escort fleet though, as it will be the frontline. There's still no guarantee of 100% S-rank at boss though.

For farming K and boss ... the bauxite reserves may not survive for long, at 500+ bauxite per run if reaching the boss. It is cheaper to just farm node K with an economic CTF.

This brought to you after 1 try with 2BB, CVL, 3CV + CL, 2DD, 3CLT.

BB: Nagato/Mutsu - fit gun AP cut-in

CV(L): Junyou K2/Hiryuu K2/Akagi/Kaga - mix of torp + dive + fighter (SCAMP on Junyou, T2 Recon on Hiryuu) <- yea, no Saiun, Green T can be more trouble than good

CL: Ooyodo - 2x main gun + night scout + searchlight

DD: Yuudachi K2/Ayanami K2 - AACI and 2x main + starshell respectively

CLT: the usual culprits - 2x main/sec guns + hyoteki

AS = 324; ELoS = 76+

Scored A-rank at boss because Yuudachi was rekt during shelling and the boss rekt KTKM at night ... Ooi left the boss with 14 hp.

Cost was 488 fuel, 790 ammo, 565 bauxite + extra fuel, steel and buckets to repair 6 ships.
