OK, I'm a believer now. Yasen is better than carrier hime. Well, node F yasen anyway. It's a lot less threatening than D and if you go D you would still have to do both anyway.

Taking two CA(V)s will take you to C with a chance of going either E or F. Sadly you can't avoid going E sometimes...but when you go F it's actually one of the easier yasens I've encountered.

Unfortunately I already used a lot of CA(V)s for AL and MI. I did save Tone for E-6 in case I needed her, and I'm glad I did. But my next best available CA is a level 72 Kinugasa...not exactly top tier. But I made her the flagship and she's fairing surprisingly well.

So I'm using Kinugasa, Tone, Nagato, Kitakami, Shoukaku, and Zuikaku now. I swapped Yamato out for Nagato because I decided to give her a triple gun cut-in setup and take advantage of her luck. Yamato wasn't really being that effective for me and costs so much to run...

In fact other than Kinugasa who's carrying the searchlight I've gone with cut-ins across the board. Tone has two 20cm (no. 3) guns, prototype seiran, and a torpedo (the +12 kind borrowed from a CLT). Kitakami has double torpedoes. Nagato has triple guns and the night seaplane. Shoukaku and Zuikaku were given enough green planes for air superiority at the boss, enough yellow to handle the LoS requirements, and still had room for good ol' Tomonaga and Egusa.

Man, Tomonaga and Egusa really get around. Somehow they were at all three of these battles...
