Did 33 sorties on E7 easy, and I'm left with less than 700 fuel (starting from around 30k). I can feel my sanity slipping...

Some stats:

CTF (Akagi/Kaga/Shoukaku/Zuikaku/Nagato/Yamato + Yuudachi/Maya/Jintsuu/Kirishima/Choukai/Ayanami): 31 sorties, in which X and Y were destroyed 6 and 12 times, respectively. Entered boss node 6 times; AA Hime was fully sunk only once. Carriers are loaded with enough fighters for AS, while Choukai is loaded with 3 main guns and skilled lookouts.

STF (Kaga/Maya/Nagato/Mutsu/Yamato/Fusou + Shigure/Atago/Jintsuu/Kirishima/Choukai/Yukikaze): 2 sorties. Entered boss node 1 time, and partially sank the AA Hime. Escort fleet is mainly loaded for torpedo CI.

Currently I'm only a clean kill away from clearing this map, but that kill is proving very elusive. I'm rather curious as to why the E7 map intro would advise people to use STF after whittling down the health bar using CTF, since the BB Hime at node L can be very destructive (probably on par with the 2 Wo-class FS Kai at node M). Any explanations or advice apart from praying to RNG?
