**2 LBAS with 4x LBAA each to boss (7 Range); OR

 

**1 LBAS with 4x Toukai/ASW to {{MapRoute|C|red}} (2 Range), 1 LBAS with 4x LBAA to Boss; OR

Recommended LBAS distribution:

**Fighter sweep {{MapRoute|E|red|G|red}}

*2 LBAS with 4x LBAA each to boss (7 Range); OR

*1 LBAS with 4x Toukai/ASW to {{MapRoute|C|red}} (2 Range), 1 LBAS with 4x LBAA to Boss.

**Support expeditions are optional, vanguard formation can be used to increase passing rate. Generic AACI is sufficient for the Air Raids.

*(Dunno if anyone's desperate enough to fighter sweep E/G or to send LBAA to J, I personally would not recommend.)

**S-Ranking the boss is not strictly necessary, but if desired, the new Torpedo/SLO+/Torpedo and/or Torpedo/SLO+/Drum cut-ins may be useful.

 

***With a [[Reinforcement Expansion]] unlocked, a Torpedo/Torpedo/Drum/[SLO+] set-up may be utilised.

Support expeditions are not required, especially if Vanguard is being used (see below).

***SLO+ refers to [[Torpedo Squadron Skilled Lookouts]].

 

Generic AACI (API 5?) is sufficient for {{MapRoute|G|red}}. Vanguard formation is recommended at {{MapRoute|J|red}} & {{MapRoute|L|red}}. S-Ranking the boss is not strictly necessary, but if desired, the new Torpedo/SLO+/Torpedo and/or Torpedo/SLO+/Drum cut-ins may be useful.

*With a [[Reinforcement Expansion]] unlocked, a Torpedo/Torpedo/Drum/[SLO+] set-up may be utilised.
