I'm wondering, is 6-5 really that dependent on good rolls or is this fleet just absolute garbage?

◾ Akizuki: AACI, +6 guns, +4 radar, and reinforced AA gun

◾ Nagato: +1 16 inch APCI and reinforced AA gun

◾ Zuikaku: Kikka, Tenzan M12 Murata, 10FP fighter, and Saiun ECAG

◾ Shoukaku: Keiun, 13, 11, and 10FP fighter

◾ Haguro: +6 No.3/2, +3 Type 98 Recon, and Type 32

◾ Kitakami: +6 OTO 152mm, 15.5cm Triple, and Type-A

Attacking airbases are a 2/2 and 1/3 setup of Reppuu and normal or Model 22A Type 1 bombers.

I feel like the route itself is pretty standard. Node C is just 5-5's Node E; you either pass it or don't one or two times. Everything else has done no more than scratch damage. The boss is where everything falls flat on its face. I've stopped for now on probably the only day kill I'll ever get, being my third kill of about eight encounters.

The things I've seen: The LBAS sinks two or three ships, but when has it ever done more than that other than whenever the stars align? At this stage, AS or AS+ at the boss, depending on my jet losses. At worst, I've lost one rank on Zuikaku's 24-slot with the Tenzan twice. The (Or one of the) Wo-class always just barely survives the day battle at Head-on, while the princess is practically unscathed. At night, regardless if the fleet is in good condition and smart enough to focus on her, she just walks off critically damaged. Guess what engagement form the other five of the eight fights have been in.

I did use Bismarck before, but her night damage has been consistently pathetic and part of using Nagato is to see if I can notice any observable differences in performance with her changes, unless I need the new gun specifically which I plan to improve now. Perhaps I should switch the base setup to be 3/1 and 1/3 in fighters and bombers, to try wiping the fleet's slots more often?

Then again...some posts did say about 8k bauxite will be used and I'm about halfway there while being halfway done with the map...
