'''Step 2: Sink the [[Aircraft Carrier Princess Kai]]
'''Step 2: Sink the [[Aircraft Carrier Princess Kai]]
In this phase, the battle against the [[Aircraft Carrier Princess Kai]] varies significantly upon difficulty as depending on the difficulty, you will need to bring enough planes to hopefully secure Air superiority at the boss, but if you are partaking in '''Hard Mode''' , there is no way to achive AS without horribly hadicapping your fleet '''meaning the best you can ride on for the fight is to get Air Parity for the final fight''' and hope you fleet manages to score the nessary crits and hits needed to achive a victory in this fight.
Below is the only effective composition that has been noted to work with some variation that will be noted below it:
'''Fleet Composition'''
* Surface Task Force:'''3 (F)BBV(V), 1-2 CA(V), 1-2 CVL + 1CL, 4DD, 1 CA/CLT (All Fast)'''
* Main Fleet will be composed of '''at least''' 2 fighter mules in the main fleet.
* Escort Fleet will be compose of '''at most''' 3 OASW ships (Historical preffered)
* Your fleet will be engaging against 2 Submarine Battles, 1-2 Air Battles, and 2 Surface Battles prior to reaching the boss.
*If you limit your fleet to 1 CVL, you will avoid one air battle along the way
*If you use 2 CVL, you will have a '''chance''' of possibly engaging in two air battles.
*The best route requires that all ships be **fast** so if you want to bring strong heavy hitters like [[Nagato]], [[Mutusu]], or [[Fusou]] in the fleet, you will need to speed mod them [[Improving Ship Speed]].
Overall, your fleet will have to survive a guantlet consisting of 2 [[New Submarine Princess]] fleets. Along with some strong air battles, so bringing someone good AA unit like [[Hamakaze]] can be a viable option, while also using dealing with the nasty carrier battle near the boss node. While the pre-boss node consist of only 2 CVLs, they are armed with a relatively difficulty plane set up that is recommended to take out as soon as possible to allow for a better passing rate. Keep in mind, that if you remove any DDs along the trip you will be forced into possible 3rd air battle which will have the worst air power to try to defend yourself against.
Because of the danagers you will be facing along the way, it's highly recommended to just use node support to survive the major battles. On lower difficulties, it might be possible to survive without it, but in most cases you may want to prepare just in case.
All your LBAS will be sent to the boss node as the boss battle will be very challenging.
'''Recommended LBAS'''
* LBAS 1: '''2 Fighters, 2 Land Base Bombers''' (Distance of 5 Required)
* LBAS 2: '''2 Fighters, 2 Land Base Bombers''' (Distance of 5 Required)
The Battle with the Carrier Princess Kai is a very hard fight as she will consist of a large group of carriers along with some CAs and BBs in the Main Fleet, and some CLs and DDs in the escort fleet.
On Medium and below, it may be possible to achive AS with the help of 2 carrier being fighter mules, and if nessary an addition fighter from an Ise-class Kai 2, or Seaplane Fighter. This can like be achived across the entire course of the run.
However on Hard mode, this will only be achiveable until the final kill. Where she will then have a 2nd Carrier Princess Kai along with a team of flagship tier enemies making up the entire fleet. At this point, air superiority becomes impossible to achive without severly handicapping your fleet and as such the only solution is to attempt to conqure it through Air parity.
In addition to this, bringing [[Nagato]] and [[Mutsu]] is highly recommended to allow you to perform thier broadside attack which will be vital to clearing out some of the enimes in the fleet along with taking advantagr of Nagato's bonus.
Through using the combination of her special attack, along with powerful historical ships, a good LBAS attack, and a strong Support fleet attack, it can be possible to wither the boss down far enough to have a chance to reach night battle. From there, all you can depend on is a well placed TCI attack from a ship which will mostly likely be [[Myoukou]],[[Shigure]] or [[Hatsushimo]] to deliver the finishing blow to the Princess.
Keep in mind though that this might be difficulty to achive if both princesses are alive. But it can be done if your ships aim at the correct target.
If the battle is still too much, it's '''highly recommended''' to wait until '''[[Friend Fleets]]''' arrive to help you out with deliver the final blow.
Once the Flagship [[Aircraft Carrier Princess Kai]] has been defeated the operation will be considered complete.
