E-3 Hard Mode ALL CLEAR
Kitakami the Sniper wins me the game

Fleet Composition: 2 BB 2 FBB 1 CV 1 CA + 1 CL 2 CLT 1 FBB 2 DD

Surface Task Force Combined Fleet

Route: J - K - I - L - T(Boss)

Changes during Final Kill: The Heavy Cruiser Hime will turn into her Final Form where she has an Opening Torpedo Attack like CLTs.

Recommendations: From my experience, taking the Southern Route while starting as Surface Task Force Combined Fleet can lead to a shorter route compared to taking the Eastern Route. However the enemy fleet in the southern route are somewhat more powerful compared to the Eastern Route but lesser battles.

Use Support Shelling Expedition (Expedition #174) to gain more advantage against the Boss.

Also, you can bring 3 CLTs in the map so if you want a powerful opening then you may choose to use 3 CLTs.

Use as much as Torpedo Cut-in Ships in the 2nd Fleet as they are more effective than Double Attack when it comes to killing high-armored bosses.
