Route F - G - K sometime derout to B at start (that you can do or F5), more reliabe fight at boss. LD is more tough, maybe kill boss with a better and strong setup, then redo with your fleet with an easier boss fight Or you just take Yuubari and your 5 best DDs and make use of the spoon while it's still there ;) ​​​

Yeah, that's what I've been doing so far, except for recently swapping one DD for Sendai. My problem is that, while they can make it to the boss mode regularly, and managed to defeat the boss several times, they just can't seem to S-rank. Usually, the day portion ends with at least three of my ships red, and 0-1 enemy sunk. I need to figure out how to do enough day damage to allow my ships to clean up at night.

Are AVs really better than DDs, though? When I tried using Chitose and Chiyoda as them, I wasn't terribly impressed and ended up making them CVLs first chance I got. Now, the only ones I have are a lvl 29 Akitsushima and a lvl 7 Mizuho. My available seaplanes are Type 0 Recon, Zuiun, Late, and one each of Type 0 Observation and Fighter. Is there any load out that would make them more helpful than the DDs they'd replace?
