First fleet is better. Second fleet sets you up for a night battle against a sub fleet (fleet goes A-C-E-N) which basically spells disaster for your fleet unless if you go with CVL to maintain the A-D-E-N route because the routing does not allow the fleet you intend to use to go through it (from A node, if slow - &gt; C (yasen with subs) unless if you have exactly 2CV 1CVL) but then you risk your CVL's attention taken away from surface targets at boss because there'll always be a submarine at the boss node (which, unless you need to S-rank it with certain quests, you do not need to bother with and is a terrible distraction for ships that prioritize submarines over surface targets). Second point: Your air power distribution has too much fighter power while compromising your CVs' ability to damage enemies. If you are attempting to achieve AS+ all the way till the boss node, forget it. The AS+ requirement for the boss is over 700, which is something simply unattainable for your CVs without making one or two of them fighter mules (and that is already a negative when it comes to contribution towards overall fleet offense). Having said all that, if you want to go to 5-5 for the sake of the monthly medals... Have each of your CV (Akagi, Kaga and Zuikaku - if you have Shoukaku K2A and possibly even Taihou it'd be a good choice since you will not run short of 1 CV to shell even in medium damage) equip bombers in their two largest slots and fighters in their two smallest slots.Saiun goes to the CV with the smallest slot.If by having one Saiun means you risk losing enough air power to achieve AS, try to compromise by either: Not having it and go with a fighter in where you would have the Saiun, or - if you would consider using fighter-bombers at all - use them on one of your CVs (in your case, preferably Zuikaku because she has enough base firepower to make up for the low bombing power of the fighter-bombers).Use fast battleships to maintain a Fast fleet.<li data-rte-attribs=" data-rte-spaces-before=1" data-rte-dragged="true" data-rte-spaces-before="1" data-rte-washtml="1">To answer your query about support expeditions: Yes, support fleets do help where they would best be with good odds. At the very least there would be an instance where your battleships would have a clear shot on the dreadful <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Battleship%20Re-Class%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Battleship%20Re-Class%22%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3Anull%7D" href="/wiki/Battleship_Re-Class" title="Battleship Re-Class">Battleship Re-Class</a> and hopefully disable it before it can cause more damage after its airstrike and opening torpedo. </li></ul>

And that's about it I guess.
