Tips

• Like 5-3, you must sink the flagship at the boss node 5 times to clear the map.
• There is a LoS Check in L to go to the Boss Node. You require approximately above eLoS (F33) Cn=1 of 34 or higher.
• There is a LoS Check in M to go to the Boss Node. It is ignored if your fleet is Fast+. If your fleet is just Fast (and not Fast+), it requires approximately above eLoS (F33) Cn=1 of 24 or higher.
• Node C has a pattern with 1-2 Enemy Submarines, sometimes in Line Ahead. You are recommended go Line Abreast against this Node (Heavy Ships such as BB/CV can handle all Surface Enemies in the Node even in this formation), and bring OASW capable Destroyers to deal with them.
• There are Light Cruiser Tsu-Class nearly everywhere in this Map. If using a composition with CVs, you are recommended to use ones with high capacity aircraft slots, and place Bombers only in the Highest Capacity Slots on your CVs to avoid all of your Bombers getting shot down to 0 by the time you reach the Boss Node.
• Seaplane Fighters are required should you go south route and wish to obtain Air Superiority at the boss node.

Recommended Fleets

• B C G L P
  • 2 BB(V) 2 DD 2 CV(B)
  • 2 BB(V) 2 CA(V) 2 CV(B)
• B E H I J M P (must be fast fleet)
  • 1 fBB(V) 1 CLT 4 DD
  • 2 fBB(V)/CA(V) 1 CL 3 DD
    • Standard comp for south route, suitable for quest Bq6 (Naganami Kai Ni quarterly 5-4 quest)
• A D F H I J M P
  • 4 CA 2 CAV
    • Suitable for quest Bq7 (Mikawa Quarterly 5-4 quest). Being able to gain Air Superiority at the boss node to stop enemy's Artillery Spotting, but you have to bypass the fairly dangerous night node F which has Battleship Ta-Class Flagship awaiting.
  • 6 SS(V)
    • Please note that due to the LoS check, you will be required to bring some LoS Equipment such as Seaplanes or Submarine Radars on your Submarines.
• A D E H I J M P
  • 3 CA 1 CL 2DD
    • Also suitable for quest Bq7. Avoiding the night node F completely, but may suffer at the boss node as you have no air power while enemy can perform Artillery Spotting at your ships.
