It ' s not your ships it ' s your equipment . Here ' s what I would change Give Shimakaze radar instead of sonar Craft better planes . Better fighters green free up more slots for your torp bombers blue . Better torp bombers blue deal more damage . For fighters , craft Reppuu and SK 2 . For bombers , craft Ryuusei Kai Place 1 bomber blue on 1 st slot of each CVCVL . Place best fighter green on the largest slots until you hit FP 200 for AS . Ideally you want 400 for AS , but your fighters aren ' t good enough atm . Once you hit AS or AS , start adding more bombers and playing around with distributing the planes so that you can have the largest slots with bombers and the smaller slots with fighters , but still have enough FP to achieve ASAS . Try not put bombers blue in slots less than 18 because there is a high chance they will be shot down , leading to bauxite drain . You most likely fail node H because you have no AACI ships to disable Wo and have 3 DDs that are really squishy . Run node support if you must and sparkle . There ' s really nothing else you can do , apart from running a different comp , but I don ' t know what other ships you have
