Some luck is needed, but it's very hard to get lucky if you don't do things right.

1. Equipment. No overweight guns - with combined fleet you're riding on accuracy, no firepower. Enough fighters to ensure your BBs can do artillery spotting. Saiun - CV Hime still can crit you on Red T. AP shells. Last but not least - FCF.

2. Sparkling all your ships is time consuming and not a guarantee. I don't sparkle all my girls. But a few, especially in escort fleet, should be sparkled - DDs or CLTs can be rekt by anything. Also helps with accuracy in yasen.

3. Levels. Really, with 90+ ships CV Hime rarely lands a hit, and even if she does, it's not neccesarily taiha.

4. Tactics. CV Hime can rekt you no matter how defensive you get, so it's better to go for all-out-attack. Wipes her lackeys, leave them with less chances to hurt you. Might damage CV Hime enough to stop her from sending planes.

5. Fleet composition. Unlucky sisters at kai ni make the difference, with enough fight in them to hurt as a BB and enough planes to make difference for air superiority.

So far out of 20 tries I failed to get to boss in E-6 only three times and got stopped at M node only twice (got cat bombed once). So apparently I'm doing something right.
