Struck her off the boss node at 2-4, with only minor damage to one ship, a few hp off another, and by cruising through the southern route. This was a little harder than trying to get Kongo sisters and Souryuu at 3-2 (node A), my previous attempt at getting drops from nodes. Took more resources, can't exactly count but at least 50 buckets and sacrificing summer event, but a shorter duration of two weeks compared to 3-2.

Patience is one thing, getting ships fitted out was another than i learnt. Having Hiyou/Junyou, Zuikaku and Kaga fully fitted out with Ryusei-kai and Suisei 12As, a single Akagi with Reppus (just need that reassurance against carriers) was a good ship-killer formula that i learnt through this set of attempts. 'Unlucky', or rather, low luck carriers to be fitted with turbines or boilers (despite being pural, one in the last slot will do). RNG, first day of the week etc really don't help, but i noticed drops seem to be good if you have minimal/no damage to your ships here. If you get medium damage to one or more of your ships, drop chances are Kongo and Ise classes.

Long-story-cut-short, correct equipment and preseverance to get that one attempt where damage is minimal, then it should appear, same to other nodes.
