U-huh, I see where's the problem now.

First, it's not heavy fleet. With only 2FBBs it's semi-heavy fleet. Why it's matter? Because you only have 2 girls capable of one-shotting Ru, which means you have to take *at least* three shots from them, and usually twice as many. If you had 3 or 4 BBs with AP shells they could sink most of Rus before second round of shelling, and even when shot at they would have a fair chance of getting only chuu or shou damage.

Second, you have too little FP. It might be enough for first node, but remember that even with AS you are loosing several percent of fighter after every combat. By Q node you have AP and gets clobbered even if Maya AACI procs.

Third, torpedo planes in smallest slot will get wiped immediately. Bauxite lost. Ranks lost. Zero damage to enemy. Don't bother. Better put double chevroned fighter planes for proficiency bonus. Speaking of proficiency bonus, double chevron all your planes - it matters. Every full proficiency fighter is about ~25 FP bonus.

Fourth, you might want try 2x gun 2x radar setup for BBs in support fleet. Hitting enemy is more important than dealing lots of damage. Main role of support is to wipe small fries anyway, and 2x gun is more than enough firepower for that.

Maya is not really that important if you get consistent AS from fighters and heavy fleet of BBs with high AA stat and high armor. They get hit rarely by airstrikes, and when they do, they can take it.

Personally, I'd suggest either 4BB2CV with CVs as fighter mules (you sacrifice AACI and TBs for constant AS and 4x guns+recon+AP setups to break enemies before they have chance to break you) or 3BB3CV (with CVs full of max ranked fighters save for TBs in first slots). I think that Maya3BB2CV(fighter only) might work too and have it a little easier in most pre-boss nodes, but it will be slightly more vulnerable to Rus and might be a little short on firepower to finish boss, if BBs decide to shoot destroyers first and leave Wos for yasen.
