Just share latest experience about 3-5 hardness on 25% gauge:

North route = more brutal, painful and greater cost, less buckets. Using same composition aiming for quest B32 and also final Tsu kill, 2 nodes passed without even minor damage, but both Hoppo and escort Fu keep delivering heavy damage on CLT even with red T crossing. 5 times trolled with same problem, not reaching the boss for this route yet.

South route = lesser consumption but lesser sanity & more buckets. Gold flagships CLs and CAs taking down at least 1 DD to red on 1st node, if I can pass to 2nd node Ri double attack or Nu bombers usually give tear of illness, 10 sorties taken only 2 reaching the boss (all failed to kill Tsu, Wa & Ta flagships quickly turn DDs to red, with only 1 left survive on medium or low damage to fight on yasen).

North route fleet:

1 CVL with 3 Reppu & 1 Type 62, 2 fast BB with 2x 46 cm, observation planes & AP shells, 2 CA with 2x 20.3 cm type 2, observation planes & type 3 shells, a CLT with 2x 15.5 cm yellow + ko-hyoteki. All of them stands over level 70-90, sparkle every run. Effective LOS around 90 (or 100 if more planes given). Formation 3x double line on pre-boss, line ahead for boss if reach.

South route fleet:

1 CL with 2x 15.5 cm & observation plane, 5 DD with 2x 10 cm HA & type 33 radar. No boilers or damecons equipped to ensure passing through LOS check. All of them stands on level 50-70, sometimes no sparkle on each run. Effective LOS around 40. Formation line ahead for all pre-boss & boss node, only double line when meeting enemy CVL node.
