Route F - G - K sometime derout to B at start (that you can do or F5), more reliabe fight at boss. LD is more tough, maybe kill boss with a better and strong setup, then redo with your fleet with an easier boss fight Or you just take Yuubari and your 5 best DDs and make use of the spoon while it's still there ;) ​​​ Yeah, that's what I've been doing so far, except for recently swapping one DD for Sendai. My problem is that, while they can make it to the boss node regularly, and managed to defeat the boss several times, they just can't seem to S-rank. Usually, the day portion ends with at least three of my ships red, and 0-1 enemy sunk. I need to figure out how to do enough day damage to allow my ships to clean up at night.

LD is more tough, maybe kill boss with a better and strong setup, then redo with your fleet with an easier boss fight Are AVs really better than DDs, though? When I tried using Chitose and Chiyoda as them, I wasn't terribly impressed and ended up making them CVLs first chance I got. Now, the only ones I have are a lvl 29 Akitsushima and a lvl 7 Mizuho. My available seaplanes are Type 0 Recon, Zuiun, Late, and one each of Type 0 Observation and Fighter. Is there any load out that would make them more helpful than the DDs they'd replace? Looking at your equipment, you should give the star Shell and the Searchlight to Yuubari and equip your DDs with surface radars instead. Also use spoon on both pre-boss nodes. You may also want to put Fubuki K2 in there instead of Wakaba to have a proper AACI. All Fubuki needs for it is 2 HA guns and an air radar.

Other than that you should really start farming 12.7cm Cs

Another thing your replay told me is that you stopped right after day shelling for some reason. The reason you didn't deal any damage is that you got a Red T at the beginning, so not doing much damage during the day is actually to be expected. Your fleet could have still beaten them easily during the night phase though. That boss there isn't as hard as the event bosses and actually goes down pretty easily. I don't have Fubuki even up to Kai yet, sadly. Is AACI necessary for this map? I don't recall much enemy air power. And where can I get Cs?

I stopped after the day phase because I've already beaten the map, and only need S-ranks for the quest. Since each non-red ship only attacks once at night, if the opponent has more ships left than I have non-red ships, is there any reason to continue to night? You can get some by either upgrading your guns (which is absolutely don't recommend) or through a monthly quest you might have yet to unlock. AACI isn't necessary, but seing how youmuch damage you took on G, it might be recommendable for you. All that had to happen is that CVL actually not missing.

Technically, you should be able to beat it though, your main problem here was a Red T keepiong everyone from actually hitting stuff.

Move the Star Shell and the Searchlight to Yuubari and give the remaining DDs radars or boilers and you should be good if you take spoon on both pre-boss maps.
