:*There is very little reason to head towards B, unless the fleet cannot (or do not) want to face [[Submarine So-Class#Elite|SS So-Class Elite]], who makes its (her?) first appearance in a regular map. But avoiding So-Class requires an additional fight.

*''Regarding Air Reconnaissance'': From nodes G and H, recon planes will be flown towards the green X (the recon route is shown on the map as green arrows). Successful reconnaissance will reward additional resources upon '''winning at the boss node'''.

:*Success rate (and possibly critical success rate) of the air reconnaissance depends on which AV and what equipment(s) are equipped, if any. [[Akitsushima]] equipped with [[Type 2 Flying Boat]] appears to increase the critical (and normal?) success rate.

:*Before the gauge can depleted, the boss fleet consists of 1~2 [[Battleship Ta-Class#Flagship|BB Ta-Class Flagships]], 1~2 [[Heavy Cruiser Ri-Class#Flagship|CA Ri-Class Flagships]], 0~1 [[Light Cruiser He-Class#Flagship|CL He-Class Flagship]], the [[Destroyer Princess]] (weaker version), and 2 late model destroyers (either [[Destroyer Ro-Class#Late Model|Ro-Class]], [[Destroyer Ha-Class#Late Model|Ha-Class]], or [[Destroyer Ni-Class#Late Model|Ni-Class]]; the two destroyers appearing will be the same class).

*Suggested ships (and equipment setup):

:*AV: Despite the fact that [[Akitsushima]] with her [[Type 2 Flying Boat|flying boats]] can succeed at the air reconnaissance better, her battle output is low, and as the boss fleet is rather tanky, using either [[Chitose]] or [[Chiyoda]] equipped with 2 Zuiun (or variants) and 1 [[Type A Ko-hyoteki]] probably is the better choice, especially since the opening torpedo can easily take out a less-armored target before shelling begins. (Akitsushima cannot equip [[Type A Ko-hyoteki]], lower plane capacity, and no torpedo capability, period.)

(Akitsushima cannot equip [[Type A Ko-hyoteki]], lower plane capacity, and no torpedo capability, period.) Note that any setup with seaplane bombers have chances being shot down, especially if Tsu-Class Elite shows up at node E, which may result in no air superiority at boss node.

:*CL: Generally, your 1~3 best CLs here. Unless your other ships can compensate for the lowered night battle damage, it is not recommended to use [[Ooyodo]] here.

:*DD: Consider the boss fight will require night battle for the most part, and the fact that [[Destroyer Princess]] (harder version) has 115 armor, it is better to bring ships that have better night battle performances.

Anti-Air equipment is not required for this map because no enemy fleets here have air capability.
