Well, I just got it myself. Only my second attempt to be honest (I wasn't really working on it before...).

It's a little sadistic how the devs make you use a mostly-DD fleet on a map with LoS requirements as high as 2-5. The best LoS equipment DDs can carry are type-33 radars and those just aren't going to be enough.

Equipment: For DDs I used 2x 12.7cm B guns (no need to worry about AA at all on this route) or Akizuki's guns + type 33 radar. Ashigara had 2x Eugen's guns and 2x type-0 obs. Jintsuu had 1 15.5cm secondary and 2x type-0 obs. I will fully acknowledge that Ooyodo would have been useful for the extra slot (even with her crap base night damage) but she was off on an expedition and my JIntsuu is at a much higher level anyway. I also thought about using Yuubari but she's so fragile and the quest requires a DD flagship so that wouldn't be an option either. Oh yeah, plus she can't carry planes (though 2x type 32 radars might have been enough...). Even though Jintsuu wasn't double attacking I think it's better to give her at least 1 gun to help with daytime shelling and accuracy. Her base stats are pretty good, after all, so she can still be a threat.
