This route can force a lot of early retreats due to sub getting taiha in node C.
Equipment Setups
CAVs need to be armed with Anti-Installation gear.
SS(V) should use turbines and possibly a damecon if necessary.
CVs should use a Torpedo bombers / Fighter set up and also possibly carry a Saiun. Also bring Type 97 Torpedo Bomber type planes as they are a weakness to the boss node.
Land-Based Air Squadron:
It is recommended to set your third base to defense mode with 3 or 4 of you best Interceptor or Fighter planes along with a Saiun.
If you have Jet Planes, feel free to use them to target the boss node since with an additional air strike you can actually take our possibly more ships making the run more easily.
