Or put Sendai in flag position with ASW gear, bring 2 CVL's (all blue planes), 1 BBV (all loaded with seaplane bombers), 1 SS (to tank the first node), with 1 wildcard and go to 4-1. Do two nodes and retreat. Second node is more often than not a submarine node. If you manage to get an all-sub comp in the second node, 99% of the time, Sendai will get that MVP.

4-1 is more forgiving in terms of buckets, drains twice as fast resources than 3-2a but gives almost double the exp (because you'll be battling in two nodes instead of one.) The only time when buckets are going to be needed is if you get thrown in the BB node, which sometimes happens if you the compass points you to south and then west.
