'''Completing the <font color="ff9900">Nishimura Fleet</font> Path'''  

'''Completing the <font color="ff9900">Nishimura Fleet</font> Path'''  

The path is overall straight forward as you'll be using the Nishimura Fleet to fight proeed into the Night Battle segments of the map. Depending on the difficulty, you may need to bring either seaplane fighters or your LBAS to help defend your fleet from the air attack nodes. It's also recommended to bring equipment that can fight [[PT Imp Group]]s (AA guns or [[Skilled Lookouts]]) in the night battle nodes leading up to Node Y.

'''Node Y''' is a combined fleet that should be winnable under simple means if you are playing on normal or hard, if you're playing Easy, there is no reason to complete this section.

'''Node Y''' is a combined fleet that should be winnable under simple means if you are playing on normal or hard. If you're playing Easy, you can stop at '''Node S''' and do not need to get this far with Nishimura.

Completely disregard the Nishimura Segment if you are playing '''Very Easy Mode'''.

'''Completing the <font color="Green">Kurita Fleet</font> Path'''

'''Completing the <font color="Green">Kurita Fleet</font> Path'''

In this segment, the Kurita Fleet will need to go to Node T to help with unlocking the path that'll make it possible for them to go the boss node more easily. Equipping your DDs with some ASW gear while also using surface combat might be peffered. Along with someone perform Anti Air cut ins.  

In this segment, the Kurita Fleet will need to go to Node T to unlock the path that'll make the route to the boss node viable. Equipping your DDs with some ASW gear and one with anti-air cut-in might be preferable.

In addition to this, use LBAS to either fight subs or help defend against the air strikes. Once you have successfully reached Node T the requirements for thier segment will be completed.

Pretty much follow the same Kurita Fleet setup but gear more to the offense since there will be no subs from the 2nd starting point. Organize your [[LBAS]] to attack the boss fleet and the rest should come easy.
