Sure you have trouble. You know why Japan lost the war? Because they didn't have air superiority. Learn from their mistakes.

Get yourself 2 CVL with enough fighters to get AS at boss. Which probably means all of them But never mind. While you might not have air attack, your BBs can do artillery spotting (which is 2x120% or 1x150%) instead of regular 1x100% attack, which, with a little luck, can mean doubling damage output over two rounds of shelling. Not to mention that your bauxite losses will be much less, your planes stop losing proficiency ranks, your ships will be damaged by enemy planes less and your SAN points stabilize.

Also, switch Isuzu with Hatsuzuki and - if KTKM is not luck upgraded - give her DA setup instead. Better to go for guaranteed damage with two other TCI ships down the line as a backup.
