Carrier Setup

Given that:

1) You don't need more than 390 Air Power

2) You don't have Maya Kai 2

3) Akagi has higher firepower

I'll use placeholder equipment to fill in for equipment you don't have with basically the same girls leveled as I have limited copies of early equipment.

Main Fleet:

Composition:

as one of the people above said, your fleet WILL get off-routed to F; this setup lets you avoid the airstrike node and go through the maelstrom, which is desired given your limited levels;

Kongou in escort and Hiei in main have no place in this map.

Aircraft placement:

1st slot of a carrier with double chevron plane gives a 20% bonus to critical damage, therefore all the carriers get a torpedo bomber in their first slot. Your single Ryuusei goes in Akagi's 3rd slot to make it more likely for it to survive the 2 Tsu-Class Cruisers you find along the way. Get rid of dive bombers altogether as they stop carriers from shelling installations adn you will need all the damage you can obtain from all your girls at the boss node.

Type 0 Model 21/52 planes properly ranked should be enough to obtain at least air superiority, though the point of CTF is to obtain air supremacy;

Mogami doesn't get a Zuiun as she will lose Double Attack if her 11 plane slot gets completely wiped, which is very likely to happen. The Type 0 Recon takes its place

Equipment:

Haruna has lower firepower, so she gets the double attack setup to make it more likely for her to double scratch Dyson and the 2 installations, Kongou gets the AP Cut-In set up; We will keep the Type 3 Shells in the escort to make it more likely for them to damage them in night combat, therefore Mogami gets a double attack setup for her to double scratch the boss.
