Personal opinion for 1-6:

E node become a good choice to farm submarines for quests, their torpedo gonna very weak in echelon formation. Suitable for HQ 80+ to get away from getting rekt on first node like 1-5, beware of fatigue. No ASW equipment needed if you also want to reach resource node.

F node is not as hard if you have many AA guns (Akizuki showed her good charm there, she usually trigger the AACI I need as secretary), even with air denials those Wo-chan and Nu light carriers never rekt my CL and DDs. Diamond formation strongly recommended with best stat AA guns.

B node just a piece of cake, even with heavy damaged DD can pass for resource node. Usually I still going on line ahead mode for this.

The longer route through C never recommended at all, elite Ru BB or line ahead submarines or BWS keep beating hard for every attempt.

Here is my setup to finish the entire gauge with minimal cost:

Akizuki Kai = 2x 10 cm AA+FD, Type 13 Air Radar Kai

Ayanami Kai 2 = 2x 12.7 cm Late Model, Type 94 FD

Ushio Kai 2 = 2x 12.7 cm Late Model, Type 91 FD

Murakumo Kai 2 = 2x 10 cm, 12 cm 30-tube Rocket Launcher/2 cm Flak 38

Hatsuharu Kai = 2x 10 cm, Type 91 FD

Fubuki Kai = 2x 10 cm, 25 mm AAFD (AA +9)

Sendai/Jintsuu Kai 2 = 2x 15.5 cm secondary, 12 cm 30-tube Rocket Launcher

No buckets needed, thanks to anon who made this guide and bring it for me.
