I usually grind 4-1 first two nodes instead of 3-2-A, because I feel it's more effective - 2 nodes per sortie at around the same exp per node (558 exp x2 for flagship without MVP per sortie, with S ranks) and can use the roughly the same fleet composition as for 3-2-A grinding (2nd node has 3~5 subs, using at least 2 CLT + 1 BB(V) will allow at least 4 ASW attacks). Use of a BB in the fleet instead of a sub will make it a lot easier, but also increase the cost, although it will be roughly the same as a similar fleet for 3-2-A (2 sorties for 1 node vs 1 sortie for 2 nodes).

With all ships at 49 morale, I do 2 sorties (4 nodes) before at least one of them gets the orange face - that's 1116 exp per sortie for flagship without MPV.

If you use a DD/CL as flagship, together with 2 CLTs and a BB (no CVL/BBV/CAV), and give some ASW equip to the flagship, if the sub node gets the 5 subs pattern there's a good chance that the flagship will get MVP, for a whooping 1116 exp S rank just in that node. Add to that the flagship exp from the 1st node (558 S rank) and you get 1674 exp from just 1 sortie. That's how I leveled my Akizuki to lvl 40 (Akizuki, FBB, CV, CV, CLT, CLT).
