Hard Mode.

Used Mikuma and Mogami OTP so the route was the A/B - D - G - H - I - N. A or B is really 50:50. Took 12 sortie to clear because I didn't bring any submarine.
 * 6 sorties from A = all six ended with complete kill (including final kill).
 * 6 sorties from B = one boss complete kill, two retreats at D, three retreats at I.

No partial kill. All attempts used boss support expedition (2CVL 2DD 2CAV).

Fleet used: Mikuma - Mogami - Akagi - Nachi - Ashigara - Haguro (2CAV 3CA 1CV)
 * Since every cruiser is armed with 2x 20.3cm + Type 3 Shell, I'll just list what they have in their one remaining slot:
 * Mikuma had Type 98 Night Recon Seaplane
 * Mogami had Star Shell
 * Nachi had FuMO25 Radar
 * Haguro and Ashigara had Type 0 Observation Seaplane.
 * Akagi used this setup, top to bottom in her equipment slot:
 * Reppuu 601 - Reppuu 601 - Suisei 601 - Saiun

Sometimes I swapped Mogami's Star Shell with Mikuma's Night Recon depending on who was the flagship.

Total of 16 buckets were used, near 5k ammo and fuel because constant support expedition and the heaviness of the fleet.

I guess you shouldn't attempt a fleet without submarine if you don't want to gamble your way through night battle node. But for me, it was worth it. I got to see some good things.
