* The difference between the two south routes is having to route through the battle node I, which includes a Wo-Kai (or Flag-wo below HQ 100)

While the north route is usually thought of as a "lighter" fleet, as the examples above show, it is possible (though not necessarily recommended) to bring even battleships by carrying drums, only CV(B/L)s are prohibited from this route.

More importantly, this route is the one used for monthly quest BM7, which requires 4 DDs (with one as flag), a CA, and a CL. More specific BM7 advice will be given later.

* The main consideration for this quest is achieving the required LoS of about 60 with 4DDs in the fleet (or 33 LOS using the LOS33 formula).

** Your DDs will probably need radars to add LoS and therefore are unlikely to equip any night battle equipment. Try balancing between ships that can provide high firepower ([[Yuudachi|Yuudachi Kai Ni]], [[Ayanami|Ayanami Kai Ni]])and ships that has good base LoS ([[Akatsuki|Akatsuki Kai Ni]]).

* For your CL, good options can be either [[Abukuma|Abukuma Kai Ni]], [[Jintsuu|Jintsuu Kai Ni]], or [[Ooyodo]]/[[Yuubari]]. It is recommended to equip a seaplane or two on your CL, as seaplanes contribute much more LoS than radars do, contributing twice their nominal value while radars only contribute their nominal value.

** Abukuma comes with a strong opening torpedo, which gives her the highest total damage output of any CL in the game
