^ 4-3 is much better and faster for grinding DDs because your DD will get MVP most of the time and you can also level up some of your other ships in the process. For example I got Tone from lvl 35 to lvl 70 in no time from using her in my 4-3 DD grinding fleet lol. Plus, even when I was sent to node J my girls got by just fine, with maybe the aircraft carrier getting mod damage once in a while lol but of course you can just switch in another CV.

For 4-3 grinding I use this composition

DD Flagship - Best ASW gear

BB - 41cmx2, recon plane, 15.5cm

CA - 20cm x2, recon planex2

CV - Torpedo bombers in three slots (I used tenzans but when they became to strong and stole MVP I switched to regular type 97 lol), Saiun

2CLT - midget sub, type 94 depth charge and type 93 sonar

When I used this composition my DD was able to get MVP most of the time + if i got sent to node J I was able to get by safely... but of course maybe that was RNG but I was able to lvl Hibiki all the way to lvl 70 without using a single bucket lmao
