I'm doing E-6 Medium too, just waiting for morale recovery before attempting the 7th run. All went to boss, with an RNG troll on the 4th run which stopped me from killing the boss and resulted in C-rank defeat. Routing C-E-G-H-L-Z.

Nagato + Mutsu: usual AP cut-in setup (41cm "+8" + Proto 41cm).

Souryuu K2, Hiryuu K2, Taihou and Kaga loaded with best torp bombers on biggest slots (Hiryuu - Tenzan Tomonaga, Kaga - Tenzan Murata, Souryuu and Taihou - Ryuusei 601), Reppuu on medium slots (Taihou - Reppuu 601), T2 Recon on Souryuu, Saiun on Hiryuu, T21 Skilled on Taihou, last Reppuu on Kaga.

Escort has ABKM K2 with torp cut-in as FS, followed by Choukai K2 in DA + searchlight, Biskko drei in AP cut-in, Maya K2 with 90mm HA "+10" + 25mm concentrated + FuMO25 + 20.3cm nº3, Ayanami K2 with torp cut-in + skilled lookouts and finally Yukikaze with torp cut-in + starshell.

The air power in this is OP, at 440+ with full double chevrons, which gives you the option to go south route. I feel that north route is safer, and more air power means more enemy planes shot down (the main reason why I don't go with 3 CVs).

This doesn't come without costs: I'm spending an average of 6 buckets per run. CV Hime is impossible to tame until she's chuuha'd, not even with Maya's monster AACI + AS+. The airstrike also gets weaker as the run goes, even the normal Tsu can AACI and shoot down ~20 bombers whenever she shows up (according to KC3Kai). Both my Ryuusei 601 were double chevrons on first run, and have since then been resetted.
