Obviously the sonar wasn't going to do anything, but neither would the starshell. Even though she got taiha'd anyway, being lazy and carrying over an irrelevant setup from a previous fight deprived Shigure of any chance at dealing some kind of meaningful damage during yasen.

From what I can tell, Katori is using the worst possible aaci, API # 9... While technically it is a "usable" setup, (as in it does in fact trigger aaci) I don't know why anyone would opt to use such a thing when higher quality aaci's can be used with the same amount of equipment slots or less. Katori can't double attack with that setup and she's aaci'ing at the lowest possible level

If anything Shigure should have been B.B.R or B.R (with a torp for a mixed CI at night) while Katori used run of the mill arty spotting with a night recon. Also having those carriers smack dab in the middle of your fleet hurts your hopes of pulling a win out of yasen since you outright forfeit turn number 3 and 4.

Often times you can get away with just using whatever they had from the last fight, but at some point it becomes less about RNG and more about how many things you did (or didn't do) that added up to cost you a win.
