Expensive fleet, with possibilty to go dead end.

Why not try north route with 4CA(V) + 2 CAV? Take the chance and do the Fifth Squad quest.

I'm doing it now with 6 CAV, lvl 50+, one or two Zuiun in each and DA setup. 2 of them have a drum canister (mandatory), 2 of them have high LoS radar, 2 of them have yasen equips..

First node: Line Ahead. Airstrike kills 2 DD, leaving 6 vs 4. Arty spotting takes care of the rest. Easy S-rank with low chance for that deadly closing torp.

Yasen node: Echelon formation. Bring Searchlight and Starshell to reduce enemy cut-in chance. Black Rick may cut-in on someone, but due to Echelon there's a high chance that it will chuuha instead of taiha.

No battle node: There should be plenty of LoS to spare for routing.

Boss node: Line Ahead. Airstrike may damage or kill something. Pray to RNG for as few taihas as possible. Night battle is where your victory is at.
