While the searchlight is great for increasing cut-in chances (making Yukikaze a deadly threat), if you want to improve the overall effectiveness of your ships at night battle (with more crits), try the Type 98 Night Scout plane. I used it back in Summer 2014 E-6, and it allowed my Kongou and Nagato-class BBs to wreck the BB Hime at night. It would probably allow your ships to dish out more damage to the Aircraft Carrier Hime on E-4.

However, if you don't have Sendai Kai Ni (therefore, you wouldn't have the Night Scout), then it will probably just come down to luck. I guess just make sure your support fleet has radars in addition to their main guns/dive bombers to maybe take out more of the boss fleet.
