Man, I wish my Tone was doing even half as much damage as that guy's Jintsuu does at night...'cause she ain't. Actually, I seem to be having just poor luck with my night damage rolls in general. Even Yamato with 46cm cannons and an AP shell is scratching and doing like 7-10 (yeah, seriously) damage per hit agains the BB hime at night...

I've been trying 2 CVLs and 1 CV lately. That's still guaranteed to go through H and it's actually possible (barely) to get air superiority there and still have all the CV(L)s attacking. Though it doesn't leave a lot of room for extra Saiuns and stuff for meeting the LoS requirements so you're basically required to use ships carrying Type 0 obs planes for the rest (meaning no CLTs or DDs).

Anyway, I'm having reasonably good luck actually getting to the boss with this config, but it's hard to get clean kills. Of the four boss encounters I've had only one was a kill, two were in the ~300 damage range, and one was only about 100. But that was without any support expeditions so my BBs waste their opening shots blowing up destroyers ('cause that's what BBs like to do). And I think it's going to fare much worse once there are two BB himes...I'll probably need a support expedition then. First time this event.
