Thanks for reply.

It turns out that, indeed, I did not think about using support expedition. Finally managed to clear the quest just now with only boss support, which killed 3 enemies and allowed me to score the S-rank at night, with 3vs1. Furutaka got blasted to chuuha borderline taiha on first node, but miraculously managed to dodge everything thrown at her afterwards, through the whole 4 combat nodes (AFHI route), and returned to base still chuuha. Double Line all the way did the trick, although many things could go wrong along the way.

About Choukai AACI: May as well. She has the highest FP, she can somewhat spare a bit of firepower. The above mentioned setup still give her night DA, and she still remains the second highest geared FP in this fleet, only surpassed by Kinugasa's due to red + 2 yellow setup. It doesn't hurt if she can shoot down some bombers along the way and reduce the chipping damage from enemy airstrike.

About the night setups and radars: You're right, I overreacted about the possibility of enemy cut-ins, I could have equipped something else instead of Searchlight and Starshell. I could use T22 surface radars or T21 air radars, but T13 Kai gives evasion. Unfortunately, the best radars I have are two FuMO25, two T22 Kai4 and one T33. I chose the red + 2x yellow setup over the 2x red setup, because it seems to me that it gives better firepower for similar accuracy gains (with the radars that I have available).

I ended up switching the 4th slot for boilers - Amatsukaze boilers on Kinugasa and Aoba due to lower levels, enhanced boilers on Furutaka and Kako, also switched one sonar for one enhanced boiler on Yuubari due to her lowest evasion of all.

The deed got done, one less pain in the butt to worry about.
