Not too bad, even though it has much more randomness in it. The boss is fairly easy to sink, the main problem is just getting to her. The inevitable sub node and occasional night battles are a problem sometimes, so I recommend sparkling for the second fleet. Night recon plane is a nice thing to have, so equip one of them in the second fleet if you have it. There is the thing about the second fleet's flagship not being able to sink, so searchlight may be a good option too. Personally, I'm still not 100% confident about that fact though, even after seeing in a video a flagship Shigure with searchlight not sinking in couple battles even though there were multiple hits aimed at her (I wouldn't take the risk of advancing with the second fleet's flagship in red damage and no searchlight either, in other words).

AP shells also help the BB damage the boss by a little bit. However, do make sure to pack some LOS too.
