Had lots of trouble with E-6 on easy. What finally helped me complete it was switching to a main fleet of 1CA 2BBV 1BB 2CVL, with enough fighters and seaplane bombers to gain air superiority+. This helped stopping damage from M-node as well as keeping more ships alive at the boss. I also added CAV Mogami with 2x Seaplane Bombers to the second fleet and she seemed to keep the night battle BB-demon's cut-ins at a minimum. Used support expedition (2DD 4BB) as well, with sparkled flagship DD. Both DDs had 3xguns (green and/or red). All BB's had 2x heavy main gun, 1x secondary gun and recon aircraft. Usually only sunk one DD at boss node + some minor extra damage, but managed 39 damage on boss at final battle.

Main fleet:

Maya Kai: 15,5cm/15,5cm/Recon/Type 21 Air Radar

Hyûga Kai: 35,6cm/35,6cm/Bomber/Bomber

Ise Kai: 35,6cm/35,6cm prototype/Type 91 AP shell/Bomber

Nagato Kai: 41cm/41cm/Type 91 AP shell/Recon

Hiyô Kai: Shiden Kai 2/Type 52 Zero/Tenzan 601/Saiun

Jun'Yô Kai: Type 52 Zero/Type 52 Zero/Tenzan/Type 52 Zero*


 * The last Zeros are not necessary for air superiority, but I guess they help shooting down bombers in aerial phase.

2nd fleet:

Kagerô Kai: 10cm High-angle/Type 91 AAFD/25mm Triple (AA cut-in set-up)

Shimakaze Kai: 10cm High angle/61cm Quad Oxygen Torps/61cm Quad Oxygen Torps*

Yura Kai: 20,3cm/15,5cm/Recon*

Mogami Kai: Bomber/Bomber/15,5cm/20,3cm

Chôkai Kai: 20,3cm/OTO 152mm/Type 21 Air Radar/Recon*

Kitakami Kai: Type A Kyo-hoteki/61cm Quad Oxygen Torps


 * Shimakaze finished boss with a 235dmg night battle torpedo cut-in.


 * Yura+Chôkai and sufficient LoS always gives FGIMO-route. I only have Mogami and Kumano, so couldn't use the CAV pairs.
