Hello, I'm also on E6 med halfway through & going for the catapult. This is my combo below

CTF - Nagato, Haruna, Kaga, Akagi, Shoukaku, Zuikaku

- BBs with 2 guns+Type91+Radar

- CVs with the 1st slot Torp, 2 fighters(Reppu/Shiden Kai) in middle slots, 1xSaiun for 1 CV, 3 Fighter/bomber for remaining 3 CVs on last slot.

Escort Fleet - Maya, Jintsuu, Yuudachi, Kongou, Yukikaze, Myoukou

- Maya in 1gun+25mm triple AA, AA radar, 8cm HA, Jintssu/Yuudachi in 2 gun+1 night gear each (nightscout / star shell), Kongou in 2 Gun(+6)+Type91(+6)+Radar, Yukikaze in radar+2 torp, Myoukou in 2gun+radar+plane.

Ship levels are 74-85 & max. modernized other than AA stats - only Maya AA is max. Boss node fire support is optional cause last 3 ships can KO both CV hime & BB demon by NB (Kongou, Yukikaze, Myoukou). Maya, Jintssu & Yuudachi are no sloughs in NB - their crits usually 80-120 dmg. Kongou get my +6 main guns & +6 Type91 & a surface radar so that she has a chance to deal heavy dmg on CV Hime or BB demon in day double attack. The +6s & Type 91 seems make her NB attk almost as good as Myoukou & Yuikkaze (CI) whenever she get a good crit in NB (+/- 150 dmg).

My problem is the escort fleet usually has someone getting retk pre-boss in about 3/4 runs & forced retreat. I think my config & ship order ok for clearing the boss node but its weaker against the pre-boss node esp. at the 2 Wo & Ta class...the Ta class fires first before Kongou (being 4th in line-up) for day battle and often someone gets a 1-hit retk in the escort fleet..almost always its Yukikaze or Myoukou...

Hope the above helps .. probably not the best config but once they get to the boss node - the fleet gets the job done.
