| ::*Pros: Shouldn't lose at node F, which saves some morale loss. Maximizes the number of ships that can use Type 3 Shell while still making the required AS for artillery spotting. Also avoids the harder H node (which has 1~2 guaranteed Battleship Ru-class Kai Flagship). Does not see Ru-class Kai until boss. Should be able to maintain air superiority with enough distributed fighters (Usually 2 fighters per Carrier). | | ::*Pros: Shouldn't lose at node F, which saves some morale loss.

| ::*Cons: Ships have lower HP and armor, so easier to accumulate damage along the way, reducing damage dealt at the boss node.

| + | ::*Possible Equipment setups: One possible recommendation is to arm your BB with a 2 Main gun + 1 AP Shell + Seaplane scout set up, while having your CVs use thier strongest 2 Torpedo bombers + 2 Fighters, CA(V) can consider using 2 Main guns + 1 Type 3 Shell + 1 Seaplane. |
| + | ::*If using a Yamato-Class, Iowa, or Nagato Kai Ni an AP shell may not be necessary as the base firepower of Yamato can still severely damage the Ru-Kais. |
| + | ::*Alternatively, you can also go with 2 Main guns + AP Shell + Type 3 Shell for the BBs which can work effectively if you make it to the boss node. Allowing you to do decent damage to the [[Harbor Princess]] during the daytime, and a stronger chance of scoring the kill at night battle. |

| + | ::*Possible Equipment setups: For this case, BBs can use the 2 Main guns + seaplane scout + AP Shell + Type 3 Shell or AP Shell set up, the CV on the other hand will need to play a more fighter role but using more fighters to help gain air superiority. It's recommended to use of your best 3 Fighters + 1 Torpedo Bomber, CAV should use the standard 2 Main guns + seaplane scout + AP Shell + Type 3 Shell set up. |

| ::*Pros: With any BBV or CVL, reduces the chance of losing at node F (with appropriate equipment). Provides more firepower, opening air strikes, and better gauge of AS along the way. | | ::*Pros: With any BBV or CVL, reduces the chance of losing at node F (with appropriate equipment).
